They are the product of a medium size brown hen of the com- I mon stock of the country— owned by myself. The hen was given me when quite a little child by my auntie, Mrs. Anu Crawford. I fed and petted the little chick until she x.as grown, ex pecting to derive considerable profit from her and anxiously waited for the first cackle which I heard after I had almost lost all the patience I possessed. It was a long and loud cackle and often separated and I caught up iny bonnet aij,d ran to an old barrel where I had seen the lien go, but when I looked in I saw nothing but the bot tom of the barrel. Every day for fifteen or twenty days the same thing was repeated, like cackle,like running, and no egg. I tried to exercise patience and did very well until one day when I reached the barrel, the hen jumped out and commenced clucking, then I went for the ax to chop her head off, but Mama begged for her and I concluded to’ be re venged by breaking her up fronT setting. But iu that I failed, for she seemed determined to hatch some thing and Papa said “he had never known rocks or barrels hatched and I had better find some eggs for her.” So I procured six turkey eggs and put them under, and at the proper time they were all hatched and the little turkeys had the proudest hen mama in the yard. The hen carried the turkeys until they could run well enough to catch grass-hoppers when she turned them loose to the world and went back to her daily cackle, and about every four days I am re warded with one of the large eggs like I send you. But Papa says I should be proud of her for she is like our late primary election- —fuss, feathers and no reward. Lena Moore. A WATt'U-SI’RlXtiS DEVASTATION It Creates a Panic in a Street Car and Makes the Conductor Howl. Baltimore American: 2k tall, thin man with a cast in his eye boarded a Blue-line car going east on Baltimore street recently. Ho looked like a per son who would not be surprised if the world would suddenly come to an end and leave him alone in the uni verse. The seats of the car were full, but nobody was standing. Most of the passengers were ladies. The tall, thin man pulled out his Waterbury watch and compared it with the big chronometer near Light street. The two time-pieces did not agree. The tall man proceeded to open his Water bury watch at the rear. He pried open the outer case and on the inner 1 case he saw the ominous inscription: “Don’t remove the cap unless you are a practical watch repairer.” This did not scare the thin man a bit. He got out his penknife and pried the case off with the little blade. Great Csesar! what a revelation there was in that car. The moment the cap came off a steel spring about forty yards long popped out and uncoiled itself up to the ceiling of the car. It was like the devil coming out of his band box. After touching the roof the spring re coiled and then uncoiled, and then became wound up in a most horribly confused way. It would dart out like a serpent's tongue all over the car, around the necks of the passengers up their trousers legs, under the seat, out the front door and around the driver’s stool. Then it would curl about the thin man and run out <f every window on that side of the car. I The female passengers shrieked, and ■ the perspiration gathered in great | beads on the tall man’s alabaster ! brow. He tried to throw the watch out of ’ the window, but it would not go. The 1 spring drugged it back and it llew into the conductor’s face, and in his excitement he tread on a fat passen ger’s pet corn, and the fat man how - ed as though his liver had struck for shorter hours and higher wages. The conductor tried to to toss the ' demoniacal water through the door, but it returned and went whistling I through the car like one of Kilroy’s | hot bails and hit the door so violently | that it left the exact time of day in delibly stamped on the panel. Finally the tall man, with the as- ! sistance of the conductor and several I of the passengers, succeeded in gatL- ! ering togethei what appeared to be I ten bushels of wire springs, and the | car stopped and -hey gently carried it out into the street and said: “Now; then, all together!” aud dropped it i and ran for their lives. When the thin man looked at his I Waterbury watch after the excitement | had subsided he found that there was i absolutely nothing in it—not even a wheel or a pivot. The spring had been | running the watch entirely and exclu sively on its own responsibility, and when it lied nothing but the case re mained to tell the mournful story. —Animals, are often afflicted with a disease called the mange, the same disease in human beings is called the itch ami is highly conta gions, to cure it, mix flour of Sulphur with Dr. 3.

The Albany News was recently the recipient of a curious cluster of pears from Mrs. Hudspeth, of Baker county. Seven well developed pears are clust ered together on one little limb. They are as thick as sai dines in a box, and would about fill a half peck measure. County roads are in bad condition, as a rule. Money-drawer thieves abound in Columbus. Blind staggers is killing horses in Brooks county. The Elberton liquor sellers forfeited bond and skipped. The local telegraph service is now located at Greenesbora. A Columbus negro boy was blown up with a cartridge last night. White Plains is agog on the new railroad connection with Union Point. The merchants of White P laine are models of enterprise, and what is more real, they are reapers of pros perity. Thousands of Dollars. A Gentleman Who Has Reached the Proph- et’s Age. ißKssj-b- V 7 a JAMES C. DUNLAP. Almost three score years and ten have pass ed over the head of J ames C. Dunlap; the frosts of seventy winters have served to whiten his locks, and the warmth and gladness of as many summers have pre served in him their' geniality and friendly spirit. Man's allotted time of life lias been given him and he is yet as hale and as hearty us if he was prepared to double the prophet’s age. He lives at 264 East Cain Street, Atlanta, with his worthy wife ami family. “My wife lias,” said Jlr. Dunlap, recently “for the past three years been a great suffer er from rheumatism. The disease attacked her in the sciatic form, and caused her terrible suffering. She was tortured almost all the time, although we did everything in our power to alleviate her pains. The disease appeared to have a firm hold upon her, and last summer and fall she suffered the most excruciating pains and agony. Her system offered little or no resistance 'to the ravages of this disease We almost despaired of relieving her of its clutches, and it was with heavy hearts ami little faith we began the use of Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure, at the earnest solicitation of our friends last December. 'The effect of the medicine was almost miraculous. She began to improve at almost the first dose, and although at this time she has only taken three bottles, I can truthfully say that thousands of dollars' would not express tin; good it has accomplished for her. Her rheumatic pains and twinges have entirely disappeared. It is certainly a wonderful remedy, and I desire to be put upon record as saying that any person who allows a friend to suffer from the ravages of disease when a specific of this kind can be procnr-d from any drug store of this broad land of ours, at th- trifling price of one dollar a bottle, within the reach of even the poorest, is naught but a criminal.” Jlanufactured by J. 11.

BLOOD Mi MONEY ' The blood of man hns much to do I in shaping his netions’during his pit-' grimnge through this troublesome world, regardless of the atnpunt of present or expectant money iu pocket or stored away in bank. It is a con ceded fact that we appear as our blood makes us, and the purer the blood, the happier, healthier, prettier aud wiser we are; hence the oft repeated interrogatory, ‘‘how is your blood ? With pure streams of life-giving fluid coursing through our veins, bounding through our hearts and ploughing through our physical frames, our morals become better, our constitu- ( tion stronger, okr intellectual faeul-[ ties more acute and grander,and men, women and children happier,healthier and more lovely. The unprecedented demand, the unparalleled curative powers, find the unmistakable proof from those of un impeachable character and integrity, point with an unerring finger to B. B. B.—Botanic Blood Bahn —as tar the best, the cheapest, the quickest | and the grandest and most powerful | blood remedy ever before known to mortal man, in the relief and positive cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin diseases, all taints of blood poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and sores, cancers, catarrh, etc. B. B. B. is only about three years old—a baby in age, a giant in power —but no remedy in America can make or ever has made such a won derful showing in its magical powers in curing aud entirely eradicating the above complaints, ami gigantic sales in the face of frenzied opposition and would be moneyed monopolists. Letters from all points where in troduced are pouring in upon us, speaking in its loudest praise. Some say they receive more benefit from one bottle of B. B. B. than they have from twenty, thirty and fifty and even one hundred bottles of a boasted decoc tion of inert and non-medicinal roots and branches of common forest trees. We hold the proofin black and white, and we also hold the fort. POLICEMAN’S VIEWS Mrs. M. M. Prince, living at 38 West Fair St. Atlanta, Ga., has been troubl’ed for several months with an ugly form of catarrh, attended with a copious and offensive discharge from both nostrils. Her system became so affected and reduced that she was confined to bed at my house for some time, and re ceived the attention of three physi cians, and used a dozen bottles of an extensively advertised blood remedy, all without the least benefit. She finally commenced the use of B. B. B. with a decided improvement at once, and when ten bottles had been used, she was entirely cured of all symptoms of catarrh. It gave her an appetite, and increas ed her strength rapidly, and I cheer fully recommend it as a quick and cheap tonic and Blood Purifier. J. W. Gloer, Atlanta, Jan. 10,1886 Policeman A Book of Wonders Free All who desire full information about the cause and cure of Blood Poisons, Scrofula and Scrofulous Swellings, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Kidney complaints, Catarrh, etc., can secure by mail free, a copy of our 3‘2-page Illustrated Book of Wonders, filled with the most wonderful and startling proof ever before known.
