For ~ eighteen . , , years T I , had . eczema. Du- _ ring the last five years the physician pro nounced my disease chrome psoriosis ecze ma. rhree years ago I was so weak and rednged that I had to go to bed. where I lay helpless for six montno. At this time my feet, legs, neck and body were ninch sivolen., My whole bony resembled a dead fish, the scales dry, dead flesh falling from me in thick flakes My wchng at night during this six months was a terrible tort ae Last Chris raas a yeai- ago l went blmd,andmys,ghtdia not return for some ■ idler Tats sad plight continued right a long, except that occasionally I would man age to get .a day or two-at a time, until fast spring Colonel H. J. Lamar, met mo and gave me some S. S. 8. I began taking the specific at cnct, and,have continued it .up to now, -when I am well. After 1 had taken the medicine two or tires weeks I noticed a change for the bet ter. The mending.was comparatively slow for the urst . two .. months, when , 1 went on improving rapidly. To-dap my skin is , as clear, as pliable and as oily as ever. My pains arc entirely gone, and more, I am a gam able to earn my living At one time I preserved the scales that fell from my body, and they amounted to inve pounds m one week. \ ery respectfully, R.

Final¬ ly the caller became so nervous she took the child in her lap. “Well, Fannie, she said, what is it ? You seem to be looking fir ( somethiug, 1 was looking for your oth¬ er face, What do you mean . I don’t understand, said the puzzled visitor. Oh, wama said you were two-facer), but I don’t only one ? You haven’t got two- faces, have .you ? f AUG. 1888 M». UnmettV Keplf. Knoxville, , Ga., August 1st • 1888, ME Editor: - I notice in the Journal un¬ der date of July 13th 1888-uuder the cap¬ tion; “A card from Mr. Saunders.,, in which headdresses the citizens of the county to deny him” and eetuie eertainchatges used against as he alleges by me as Ms opponent “and to show the injustice that has been done him by scheming, designing, low down and unprincipled politicians, who sail un¬ der false-colors of men-of honor and geiitle menr who pretend or want to be shining lights in society” &c. Now all these char¬ ges and those which follow after, (being in the plural) Mr. Saunders evidently charges my. constituents with. He has thus taken the privilege to denounce them in such , terms without bringing aoy-speeial charge against them, (as all special charges are a gainst lae in person) and seems to be en¬ tirely malicious. Men certainly ought to have the sight to exercise their political preferences, without being attacked in the public press with such epithets as Mr. Saunders uses. As to the charges he brings agamst me, I will, proceed to answer in their order. He charges, first:- That it was charged by me “that he wanted to make the race in the last campaign as an charged iu dependent candidate against’.’ mo. I that I had been reliably informed that he canvassed among his intimate friends in his interest as an independent candidate. I am able to substantiate the charge by the testimony of reliable citizens to the satisfaction ol any fair minded con scientious man. I charged further that if Mr- Saunders had been a loyal democrat he wculd not bave beea seeki (with otb . e r s) to prove me guilty of forgery, in which attempt they failed. If he had been a frie ud to me, as a nominee, be would not have attempted such a thing f only \ a few days prior ~ to the last ek , c ion . u of which I am able to prove by reliable tes tb))0ny Ue second: That I him lvith h „ vi BperiirtIie £ greater a ni ht at MoGw ro s in revelry and bauobe „ T fas charge was made by cth er pgrti who Btetod , hat Le spent * ***** , ,. 01 . * , e “«* . , , there drinking, . . . a “ d bl 8 card * has been ;^tant,atod ° f W,D , . , by « ,uentlon others.

If Mr .

M. Burnett-. A couple of de piaved young men who live near Canton procured some sort of a paper, which they represented to two youug lad.e as being marriage licei ses, and then got “one of the boys" to pronounce t ie. ceremony which the girls thought male them mam and wife, and in this way the scoundrels are reported as having accom¬ plished their desire. 'JTlie Talk at Taylor Mr. Editor: As nothing has appeared in the Jocbnal from this* portion of the countyj I thought a few lines would not be amiss. Polities we thought would simmer down after the nomination, but the tie in the contest for-sheriff has caused the polit¬ ical caldron to bnbble with more vim than ever. This being Mr. Smith’s district the battle ground will consequently be here. We are in mortal dread of the conflict. Our field hospitals have been established. The litter bearers selected to hear the wounded off. And as we have no Grace down here, it will be Hart(d)ly possible that any of us will be saved. The boys from the 3rd have decided to have the political obsequies of their defeat¬ ed candidates conducted at Union and Woods academies ; also to eiect a monu¬ ment in perpetuo memento. Saunders has retired to the quiet retreats of the sanctum of the school room, “To teach the young idea how to shoot,” and to clerk for the patrons of Society Hill Academy.

Vegetation has suffered from the dryness, but we had a good rain yesterday, which , seems to revive the vegetable and animal kingdom. Mias- Mattie- A^ant, - one of Unoxvillefa. faseinatmg-young,ladies, has left us after a stay of a few days stayv Drs, Holly and Yarbrough two popular physicians, have several patients in the - neighborhood of Sandy Pdint; Dixons church has been blessed with a., great revival; many names wera added to the Church-book. Some were new converts while others- had beten.- members- in tirne past, they have turned their faces Zion¬ ward again. May God in his mercy help, and sustain them all in their new resolu¬ tions, and at last receive them in his king¬ dom, is the desire of their friends. Mrs. W. K. Eubanks has a square in iher garden,-planted-in watermelons. Some • of them are as fine as can be raised here¬ abouts and better ones never were grown. She- kindly invited some of ns around tc . eat melon. The invitation was gladly ac¬ cepted by all. It would have done you good to see us melon-hungry mortals eat \Ye ate fearlessly and without regard tc consequences, as there were two doctors with the party. All agreed that it would be “physician heal thyself” instead of 0 > Doctor heal us. Even Dave had to give up after agreeing to eat as much as Dr. — but we can’t give him away. Just s k Mrs. Eubanks who ate most of the watermelons and she will tell you Dr. Holly. T ucatan, my dear boy you seem to be & little ofi, from the manner in which you are rattling around. Great Sett 1 can it be that Yucatan, the great strong Yucatan, of Ceres, is mad ? It. was cnlj a few short, days ago that an emb@l*it physician advis C8 > should we ever have a friend who showed the least signs of in sauity, to in¬ sanity, to insist that they should immedi¬ ately sent to the asylum, so that they retell, obtain immediate relief. Now friend so ' nc thing must be one suggested “Red eyo.” We know that can’t be so, then you nmst be crazy. We would never speak of ‘the teachers” only • u the highest of terms. - TVo have a strong lellow feeling for them and mould advance their cause. As for tho “combinations"' we know nothing about them. Thus far have stood utterly alone, sad as the reve latiou may seem, yet we feel strong. You speak of thOvold widower, just as i ^ere was only one on this mundane sphere of ours. He must be a dangerous rival In the fifst place you are guessing at ran¬ dom. The widower wo had refeience to is a kind good old man, and even offered to act as our second should cccasiou demand, but we don’t apprehend any danger from that quarter as you and the gray eyed bi n nett, (Ye gods ! what a frock of nature' will be duly installed at miliedgeville be¬ fore we have to resort to the duel.
