Brown, ofLeesville, Ind, endured death’s agonies from asthma,' but this wonderful medicine gave instant reliel and soon cured him. He writes: "I now sleep soundly every night.” Like marvelous cures of Con sumption, Pneumonia, Bron« chitis, Coughs, Colds and Grip prove its matchless merit for all Throat and Lung troubles.

GARDNER, Editor nod Prop’r except the water meters and the pull-me-bnck dresses. The reason of this is because they are on op posite extremes. The meter is intended for an incomo, but has proved an agrevious failure and the pull-me-bscks are the out come, and have proved all the sue- YOUNQ HEN INSOCIETY cess imaginable, At least some In our columns this week is an of tb ° ,imb8 of the weB f r * bave appeal to admit nice young men been ‘^“>8 “> Ret out for some into “society” although they be- ^ lme ' ing poor, they should not be snubbed on that account. Well really, we cannot form an idea as to whether we should agreo with the writer or not. If she means the society that Bro. Culpepper denominated as the first cut, and then made the assertion that in saw mill par lance that meant the slab—that part of the human make-up, that paints and powders, and ex hibits bones and egotism, who sleep all day, and in dress-suits and decollette dresses, wallow in each other’s arms all night, under the^uiseof a waltz—who drink wine ind liquor and get glorious ly drunk', both male and female, who play cards am) get to cheat ing for. the prize,' and wo hear that Buch a thing does occur fre quently, and wind up in a scrap and say ugly things about each other, especially the one that wins, then, by the bones of Bnc- cu8, the writer is on the wrong trail. You had better bundle the boy or girl up in their swad dling clothes and consign them into the open jaws of the muddy Oconee, for alas I ho won’t bo worth the powder and lead it will take to kill him if he surges on those billows any great length of time.

Down here negro murdi rers are peaceably haDged by the neck until dead. But in Ohio the whole town turns out and they burn them, shoot them full of lead, carry away the carcass and all the soldiers in the state can not disperse the mob. Springfield is not over a dozen miles from Urbana—and Urbana is whereabout three years ago they lynched a negro and inci dentally shot helpless babes and wounded inoffensive citizens who were rubber-necking. The South gives it up. It yields the point and cheerfully confesses that when it comes to lawlessness and fiendiBhness it is not in it compared to the Buckeye state. A negro stands not half the show for his life, if he transgresses the law, at the North as he does at the South. And yet the brazen and oonsoienceless scribblers on North ern papers continually defame the South because once in awhile down here we take a blaok brute who has despoiled a defenceless woman and boil him in oil.— Everything. The way to make the Southern states turn Republican is for the maehine politicians who want to perpetuate themselves in office oall primaries at a time when no one but thetas can get a ohance. By the way, the South would be more prosperous is the states were doubtful. Suppose it was close in Georgia now, some of Teddy’s money would pour in and we could soon inorease the Confederate pen sion money, and possibly build the new hotel.
