DIR. GORDON'S PILLS are truly the sick mans
friend. No traveller or Family should be without
them. Their timely administration will prevent
much paiu and suffering, AMI save many valuable
lives.
These Pills we're compounded by Dr. Gordon az
ter years Of study and careful observation upon the
nature of different medicines, and the effect which
they produce upon different constitutions in various
forms Of disease. They have been extensively used
by some OF our most eminent physicians, and by
many private families for several years; and such
has been the satisfaction which they have given that
it is firmly believed that the vegetable kingd
docs not furnish any materials for purgl five nedi
cine which SURPRISES for general use, those ofwhich
these Pills are composed. They do not contain
Calomel, Mercury or any mineral preparation; but
are composed entirely Of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined as to
he Certain, SAFE and Easy IN their operation
should it be otherwise, the stomach and bowels con-
tain foul and acid bilious matleT-showing great
necessity for purgatve medicine.
The Bowels being the principal channel through
which a great portion Of the impurities of the sys-
tenn are discharged, il is evident that whatever acts
Genefcially on them must be conducive to health
And as the Bowels are the most effectual, and in
fact, almost the ouly way by which a general i'm
preston can be made upon the system, II Is perfect
iy reasonable to suppose, that nearly all diseases
will be cured, or at least, much benefited by a
iuticOus use Of purgative medicines IL physi-
clan called to patient, what is the tirst thin &
donol lie prescribes dose or two Of puFgative
medicines; and then, after day or two, If the pa
tien is better, he gives him another dose of pur-
gativo medicine, and on; doing some other little
things-but the main reliance for cure is upon
the effect produced by purgative medicines. There
fore il you are sick, delay not, but take few doses
OF DR.. Gordon's Vegetable Family Pills. and be
again restored 10 health. Price 25 cents per Box.

DIR. SDGnCeP'S
Vegetable PiUS are q Public
Blessing.

THEY are extremely mild in their operation,
neither causing sickness Of the stomach, nor any
unpleasant sensation in the system, as Is too FREE
quently the case with medicines given to act upon
the bowel,: hence multitudes, who have been una
BILE to take other pills preparations of medicine,
on account of their nauseating effects, use these
pills without the slightest disagreeable feelings.
All that is asked Of those who have never yet be-
come acquainted with them, is to go ct once and
procure one 25 cent box and the ProprietOr's word
for it, they will never call for any othe kind of Pur-
gative Medicine SO long as Spercer's Vegetable
Pills can be obtained. The character ofthis medi-
cine is such that no family should be without it, for
scarcely week passes in any family but that some
one member Of il would be benefited by laking a
dose or two of these Pills They cleanse the stom-
ach and bowels of every thing injurious to health
purify the blood, invigorate the circulation, and
produce healthy action throughout the system,
Irevery family would keep this safe and valuable
medicine in their houses and administer Il IN time
as occasion might require, large amount OF sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, and many
diseases eradicated that might otherwise become
seated in the system, and eventually deprive tht
sufferer Of precious life,
The Pills are neatly put up in boxes, containing
20 Pills. with directions for using them. Price 3
cents per box.

PROPO8AG8
For Fmlargfng and Extending the
Circulation
OF THE
,YAZOO CITY WING.

/
AT the solicitation of many of
our friends, and desire on our
part to make our papera useful me-
dunn of Communication to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
to ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE "YAZOO
CITY WHIG," so as to make it
more worthy OF a general circula-
ton among the people Of the inter-
ior.-Yazoo City is the trading and
shipping point of large, rich, and
populous section of country, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latestevents that trans
Ipire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
this place devoted to the advance
ment of its interests.
We have labored faithfully,
through evil report, and through
good report for the last ten years
lin publishing a paper in YazoO
City and, during that whole period,
] what patronage we have received,
! was voluntarily and generously
: rendered, without an effort on our
part to obtain it. Our interests are
!, identified with those of YazOo City
here we have reared a famil y
Z. and, here we expect to end the ball
: ance of our days.
a. To effect the improvements
: contemplated in the Vine, we shall
necessarily be compelled to incur
re considerable extra expense /; and,
to enable us to do this, we have
to issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
$ view to add additional subscribers
: to our list.
at We have determined to make
e, the WING worthy of liberal and
generous support and, we now
e. call upon our friends to use theirin-
ay fuence and aid to accomplish this
eP object. Two or three hundred adj
on ditional subscribers, and more EX-
TENDED patronage from our adver-
Using friends will be aIl-sufficient.
nv Our arrangements are such, tina
re- we can confidently assure our pat
n'e rons that they shall not be disap

ANEcDoTE. after the worthy and
distinguished pastor of town was first
settled, and before he had become acquain-
ted with many of the people, he appoint.
ed an evening meeting in the school-house
of one of the other districts of the town.
In this district resided two brothers named
Bond, who were rather peculiar in their
manners and appearance, and withal some
what deaf The preliminary services be-
ing gone through with, the two brothers
ranged themselves up beside the minister,
each with his hand 10 his ear, 10 order
the more readily to hear the sermon. The
text was then announced, in the Ian
guage of Paul TO AgriPpa
81 would to God that not only thou, but
also all that hear me this day, were al
most and altogether such as am, except
these boadS.n
The coincidence Of the concluding
word Of the text with the name of the two
deaf auditors, struck the audience so To-
dicrouly that, at one accord, they burst in
TO a laugh which was continued and pro.
longed. The young minister, altho' he did
not understand the cause of this outbreak
Of mirthfulness, could not resist the ihfec-
ton, but from the force of sympathy joined
in with it. The minds of the audience
had become so unsettled BY the occurrence
that the minister was obliged to dismiss
them and save his sermon for another lime
and occasion. Worcester Spy.

Social FREEDOM. some houses in
Florence large parties meet without in
yitalon, and without the slightest prepare
ton, tits understood that on a particular
evening in the week, a lady or gentle
man always receive their friends. In one
room are books and flowers; in another
books and engravings, in third music.
Couples are ensconced in some shaded al
cove, or groups dotted about the room, in
mrihful or serious conversation. No one
isrequred to speak to his host, either on
entering or departing. Lemonade and
baskets Of fruit stand here and there on
The side tables, that all may take who like /;
oui eating, which constitutes large part OF
al American entertainments, is slight
and almost unnoticed incident in these fes-
nvals Of intellect and taste. Wouldst thsu
like to see such social freedom introduced
