READER, if you have a sick horse do not
dose him with Condition Powders" con-
tanning antimony, which is just rs useless
and injurious to him as is the constantly
swallowing of poisonous compounds to the
human system. 1t is more humane to knock
q horse on the head at once than to kill him
by inches through the action of an,imonv
which accumulates in the system, and TINS
sooner or later produces death by antimonial
poisoning. Remember, reader, there is no
sutimony, nor any other poison in the "Eq.

AT last we are able to announce that we
are to have . daily mail TO Aledo Various
efforts have been made to induce Mr.. Hsw>
ley to exert his influence with the authori-
ties at Washington to re establish the old
mail Accommodations on this route and give
US q daily mail. but he was to busy in his
patriotic unse6sh and loyal efforts to secure
a denomination or had not influence enough
to accomplish anything. Mr.. Rufus Walker
Postmaster at Edgington who has been
accused of hsvingit changed from daily to
semi weekly mail took the matter in hand and
has put it through to the great commoda-
ton OF all the people along the route, as well
as many others at either end of the route,
and to him we accord oil the praise. To
him it justly belongs, and We shall not be
surprising now that Hswley sees the dis
satisfaction his negligence or want of
influence has accustomed, if We hear of his
claiming all the credit for making this

A FORTUNE FOR Two DOLLARS. -Provided
you are not 1t loggerheads with Dame For
tune this caption is true, and all can
avail themselves of the opportunity, by
referring to the advertisement which we have
been publishing for a few days and which
will be found in this issue, that of "the
Alabama Immigration Association of Mont
gomery. 1t is no lottery, but genuine
institution, incorporated under the laws OF
the State, and has for its object the promo
ton of immigration to the State. The
character of the incorporators and the
safeguards that the state laws have thrown
around this institution make it perfectly
safe and reliable. Probably the hest en-
dorsement that can be given is the following
which we take from that well known and
reliable paper the Daily Alabama State
Journal, published at Montgomery.
The ALABAMA IMMIGRANT ASSOCIATION"
chartered under the laws of the State of
Alabama, are making preparations to open
q large Office, not only in New York, but
also in our city. They propose TO give a
scrlcS VI Inc uE5t
of which will take place in our city on
December 3lst proximo, At which time they
will give away One Hundred Thousand
Dollars in green backs to holders of tickets
to said entertainment The American peo
pie are strictly a people of fortune; they
like to take a ch dnce at big fortune for q
small sum of money. This scheme affords
them this opportunity. The frat award and
the highest is $4,000. The lowest is ten
dollars. The price of tickets is only two
dollars. When was such an opportunity
presented to make pile" on such a small
investment The incorporators of the
Association are Julien Homens and Otto
Scherf. Jr.. of New York, and J. G. Stokes
and R. Green of Montgomery. For the
benefit of the public we will state that the
Association is perfectly solvent-the gen:
item an who compose it are of character aud
integrity, and we believe they will see to it
that the project is honestly and faithfully
carried out.
