Ah, Mishbor strange things will happen, and it turns out this time that the happening is contrary to view* entertained by you It asetne to us in view of the con timed strike in the west and the ypoWH* of the aau other sections of the country nt an early day, that much trouble and loss of time and money could be avoided by mutual agreement between labor and capital to lay down opposition to cadi other and unite in making an earnest effort in settling matters without n iiolting to strikes, Ixiycott* and such rash acts nv are <alculat< 1 to bring iintoi'l harm upon the country.

Most certain it. is, none wen sought in organized foi m. in waging opposition Io lh<- dread ful curse that has blasted tie- hop-sos so many happy families and <• nisei! the brightest flowers thereof to fad' and die, we have endeavored to po seas our soul in patience to tliee'.tviit of hnrlsirmg malice toward none. We es]M>iiM'd the cause from no personal stand point, but took hold of it as om ni which a groat moral issue was in volved, looking not only to the good of the old, but also to Lire rising gen ■■ration. After pursuing such a i-ours", in looking over the past, we have no regrets, ami feel that if, when tlm cit ing sands of life have well nigli run out. of the hour glass, we can look upon all the acts of life ns pure in motive, ns honest in intention, carrying with them the happy conviction of light upon our side, we will have n<> miss givings about the future as it unfolds itself. The desiie (hat yet burns on onr heart is to seethe day when victory in the cause of prohibition sh ill write itself in lelibly upon the pages of the history of the Empire Stati of the South.

Ander son, of Danburg, had just returned from Augusta, where they had been to look after the matter of getting a railroad to their thriving little town. These gentlemen had been inter viewing the of!ici ils of the Ge ngia Kail road us to the feasibility of ex tending tlm Washington branch to that point On Wednesday this week Mr. Gardner, a civil engineer, was sent up by the Georgia It ulroad with instructions to prospect for the route and rc|x>rt He will ex imine the route very thoroughly and per haps l>egiu the survey soon. Mr. John L. Anderson speaks con fidently of the building of the road; says it will be between ten and eleven miles long; that Mr. J. M Smith of Oglethorpe thinks he can grade it for eight hundred dollars a mile; that the entire cost of grading putting on cross ties etc., will be alrnut twentv two thousand dollars; that the Georgia Railroad agrees, whin this is done, to rent iron and ears, that the extension will owned by the parties who build it and its business will be kept separate from that of the Georgia Railread. The gentlemen who nre at the Im.-vt of this movement, nre energetic ami thorough going bnsin».wi men, they will not leave a stone unturned n:i<i will build the road if it is pos.-i --l>lo to do so. Washington would favor and would materially aid the building »f any other railroad from this place <• .*■* pt an extension of the Washington branch, which would rob lier of her prestigd as a great distributing center. it is evident to every thinking man that the railroad facilities of this part of tlm country will be greatly in *-re id by tlm building of other roads b* fore a great while shall claps-, ami it b*-ii<s*v*-* our little city to be up and doing, or else her involuntary loss* s in the shrinkage of vahu s will be sev* ral times as great as a voluntary subscription in a good round sum to such raiinmd enti-r --p- s us would iiicrea ie our facili ties Tlm Augusta and’ Clintfutrooga Kailroad will bring Washington great* r benefit-. Hian any othei road that ha:; vet I*eeii suggested, arid our pcopl* will make a graiui mistake if they do not bend Hmir every energy toward building it.. \\ hi-n it is built we will then favor the building of branch railroads from this place to Danliin;' ami us mat.y other points ns possible.

Ml without receiving any perma nent Ia oeflt. Among the nuiulxr were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied uas like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement m the papers telling what S. S. S. had dune for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before l had used the second IxYttie the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had Uvn bad for two or three ' irs—l hao a hacking cougn ana spit olood contin ually. 1 a scxvrv pain in my brua>t. After taking six boltks of S. S.
