Alexander City, Ala., August 21,18 86 Editors Sentinel: Believing that a definite purpose in life is essential to the formation of useful chat actor, and to successful competition with the affairs of the world. I have been earnestly en deavoring for the past few years to find in what channel my destined occupation might run, and, by snatching at whatever pursuit chance may have thrown in tho way. I have only succeeded in conclusively demonstrating the fact that the fu ture is still as uncertain as when I first played Bull Pen by the old Baptist Church. But knowing that every effort gives encouragement, on receiving a roundabout solicitation to correspond with the Sentinel, I seize my pen the last straw of a drowning boy—yet without the faintest hope of having struck my talent. To the country tourist, dots are plentiful, and the field of observa tion a wide one, but the dots are so pitifully commonface, and the observa tion so generally confined to self interest, that there is little in either to entertain the public. The prospect for crops and the jitest method of organizing political caucuses might please your male readers, while the ladies would be concerned about the status of fash ions, and the workings of the temper ance cause. As a discussion of these absorbing themes would require more time than a short night will allow. I will imitate the example of the average country editor, and give an account of my last change of beadquarters, which was from LaFayette, via Opelika, to Alexander City. LaFayette the seat of Chambers county, is a townijh little place of about fifteen hundred souls, containing two hotels, twice as many bar rooms, it is West Point’s most formidable neighbor, and receives a large trade from several adjoining counties. It is emphatically a summer resort for mother hubbards, and has the ad ditional advantage of being the terminus of a branch railroad, so that when people get there they can go on further; hence they,are compell ed to stop and make the best of the town. These little one gallused railroads are a notable feature of this State. The first noticable feature to me, was fare at five cents a mile, and, although tickets call for first class fare, a man is crowded into a little place about as large as a hotel pantry. On ordinary occasoins, one car composes the train. This is divided into three apartments, the first containing baggage, mail, express, the second devoted to the accommodation of the dark angels, and the third for drum mers and book agents, leaving no room at all for gentlemen and ladies. The engine whirls its little attach ment along at the rate of twelve miles an hour, and stops to rest about fifteen minutes at each station. Banks are high, cross ties crooked, grades steep, tressles frequent and dangerous, conductors irritable, and | the whole affair indicative of busi ness as a last resort and pleasure as ■an impossibility. But this rude ' locomotive has benefited many a I weary traveler, so there is due peace to its past services and hope for its i future accomplishments. A so. r aou s e over furnish d tme -enough to take in the city of Opelika and learn that it is a thriving place ' rapidly rebuilding the wrecks made jby its last fire. The first object that i one notices on arrival, is an old man lof peculiar proportions, who stands between the trucks continually enumerating the newspapers of all the surronding cities and closing Lis singsong speech with “hard bi.ed eggs, and hard biled ] omuls, fine i cigars.'’ The first impressions of I amusements, however, at this tuneful ■ looking case, are changed to thoughts j of pity, mingled with admiration, when one sees how readily, though totally blind, he fishes out an Atlanta Constitution and returns the coriect ; change. In company with a crowd of Gate City drummers, we boarded the Dadeville train which steams over the immense distance of sixty miles in the short space of five hours. These improved specimens of hunanity, the 1 drummers understand the art. of rariety, the so called spice of life, to such an extent that they find great amusement in calling hogs, which, ut the sight of a watermelon rind, will keep with the cars for an incredi ble distance. The most interesting feature on this road is an iron bridge, now being constructed over Talapoosa river, eighty feet above water, it will span the river for 800 feet. The cars pass slowly over while the passengers in timid accents, discuss the train that was submerged and the men who were drowned there uuring the lute heavy rains, as they watch the workmen substituting iron spans for wooden ones, only stopping ! to let the cars pass over, It is a dangerous place and were there any planks across the bridge, one would feel more at ease walking than on a rickety locomotive Alexander City, though hardly so large or aristocratic as its name would indicate, is a business town which is contending for the supremacy with a place just above it, called Goodwater, from the principal fluid imbibed by its inhabitants. The latter place, situated on the outskirts of the moun tains, is noted for its good water,both mineral and free stone, and for the roughness and variety of its hills, in which it far exceeds even our famous county seat. In progress, wealth and reform, this State seems somewhat behind Georgia. For instance, in most of our countiis prohibition and the stock law are regarded as evidences of good judgment, morality and prosperity; while here, both laws seem an abomi nation in the sight of a liberty loving people. Sumptuary laws are con demned, while politicians standing on a dry platform are invited to a back seat. The bar rooms seem equal in number and greater in popularity than the churches. But being all over a Georgia boy I may be inclined to exaggerate the advantages of the Em pile State and depreciate those of her western neighbor. The poets say that beloved objects are prized most highly vhen out of sight and so it may be in the present instance. Harlem may appear a lone ly town to those who are there, but it looms up as a paradise to one who cannot see its classic sands. Here comes in the effect of associa tion, but a discussion of that would require an essay that would choke the Sentinel Goat; so feeling that this article is more likely to adorn the waste basket than enter the press, I I forbear to give your Billy more than he can conveniently destroy.

Prince, living at, 38 West Fair St. Atlanta, Ga., bus 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 ami 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.
