EoNR years since poor but talented young
gentlemen OF the medical profession conceived
the idea that If he could produce medicine Of
universal application and extraordinary merit
and make it known, he could not only enrich
himself and escape the drudgery Of Physi-
eians life, but also benefit the sick in greater
measure than by his private practice, He
therefore consulted with the best Physicians
he could 6ud, and the result was the product
ion Of the Julson's Mountain Herb Pills u fa-
NOUS and most successful medicine lie began
in = small way to make tho Mountain Herb
Pills known by advertising them, and such
was the value OF his Pills, that in a few years
ne had not only amasSed n fortuuc but had
that rare satisfaction for q rich man, Of having
relieved the sick, and benefited his fellow
nen In every part OF the country,as thousands
OF testimonials could prove The Judson's
Mountain Herb Pills have cured Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, andall
Bilious disorders This little sketch serves
both 10 adorn tale and point moral DR..
,Judson's Pills were meritorious and the doctor
himself knew the value of printers ink. For

Land ADpraiseme1.t.

The time fixed by law for
the Land Assessors to make a
new valuation of real estate, is
from the first of March to the
first of June, The Auditor of
State has issued Instructions
which in substance require the
assessment to be made on a pa
per currency basis There is
no law for this, and assessors
should not be controlled by it.
Gold is the true standard by
which to fix the taxable vale
of property Of any kind wheth-
er it be horses, houses, lands,
goods or cattle. 1t is notori-
Gus that personal property has
not been listed at its value in
paper currency. There can be
no good reason why different
course should be taken with
real estate During the uncer-
tainty that exists in regard to
the amount of money that is to
be in use in the next few years,
it is especially proper that the
revaluation OF real estate shall
be made by a strictly good
standard.

mind how this story originated
When Mr.. Jefferson Davis gave
his bail bond here, Mr.. James
Thomas, one of the bondsmen
was quite i'll, and so very ner
vous that he could scarcely
hold a pen to paper at all. Ac
cordingly he had his name
written, and then affixed hi:
mark, as the law required. Mr.
Thos, B. Price (now deceased)
who WAS blind, had his name
signed to the same bond, also
by another, likewise appending
his mark. 1t is well known
here that both Of these gentle
men were sbundsntly able to
sign their own names, except
that they were physically inca
pacisted at the time. The
bond referred to has been lith.
ographod, and copies have been
scattered to all parts of the
world, with no commentary ex,
planning the curious appearance
of two cross marks among the
signatures to the bail-bond of
of the famous ex.President of
the Southern Confederacy, and
hence the misapprehension in
regard to the facts.
