SOME years since poor but talented
gentleman of the medical profession
conceived the idea that he could
not only enrich himselfand escape the
drudgery of Physicians,life but also
benefit the sick in a greater measure
than by his private practice. He
therefore consulted with the best
Physicians he could find and the re.
suit was tine production of Judson's
Mountain Herb Pills, a famous and
most successful medicine. He began
in small way to make the Mountain
Herb Pills known byadvertising them,
and such was the value of his Pills
that in few years lie lad not only
amassed a fortune but had the rare
satisfaction for rich man, of having
relieved the sick,and benefited his fel
low men in every part of the country
as thousands of grateful testimonials
could prove. Judson's Mountain Herb
Pills have cured Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint, Female Irregularities, and
all Bilious disorders. This little
sketch serves both to adorn a tale and
point moral, Dr.. .Judson's Pills were
meritorious and the Doctor himself
knew the value of printers ink. Sold

A Visit to Marietta.

appear in another column
The press and people of Mari.
eta did everything in tbeir
power to make our stay with
them pleasant, and of course
succeeded.

generally an educated, refined,
religious people, wealthy, but
terribly behind the age in
which they live. The modern
spirit of progress seems scarce.
ly to have disturbed the ven
cradle denizens Of this ancient
burg. They still haul their pro,
duce to market over the ldenti
cal roads which were worn out
by their revolutionary fathers.
Their streets and alleys are in
the same condition-ungraded
and nearly everything in the
shape of public enterprise is
dead or dormant. With the
natural advantages that Mari
eta possesses, her situation in
the centre Of a rich and beau,
tiful country, having two navi.
gable rivers, it should be
among the foremost cities of
the State, and so it will be
when her people shake off the
dust and cobwebs of a former
generation, and get out of the
rut in which they have been
dragging along. Indications
of change, we are happy to
say, are apparent. Duck Greek
Railroad is move in the right
direction; Cow Run oil is
greasy, but it has a moderniz
ing influence, and many Of the
people are clam oring for pub.
lie improvements.
While in the city the con-
vention visited the Marietta
College, and was shown its Ii.
brary Of $4,000 volumes, and
its large collection of insects,
and geological specimens. The
view from the top of the col.
lege is beautiful.
From the college we went
to the Children's Home. There
we saw sixty little specimens
which to our notion, exceeded
in interest the thousands kept
at the college. Sixty little
waits cast upon the world with
no one to care for them, had
there found a home. They were
all destitute children; some
were taken away from their
parents because of inhuman
treatment; some were children
of shame, but all here find a
home, plenty to eat and wear,
and what they never before
experienced, kind treatment.
They vary in age from two to
ten or twelve years. and the ma
jority of them are as bright, in,
