question that involves the interest of
a large portion of the citizens of
Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer
and many other counties of North
Georgia.
1t is impossible to calculate the
advantages that would result to this
country by the building of this Road;
besides it would be a source of great
revenue to the State at large. This
road if built will pass through one
of the finest mineral region of the
State, with water power scarcely
equalled in any country; it is also a
we'll timbered country and well adapt
ed to agricultural pursuits. This
large area of country in its present
situation, cut off from Railroad facil-
tiles as it is, might be compared to a
dead member of the body, entirely
useless, with all her vast wealth
buried forever, which it is bound to be
unless we can get arailroad to pene-
trate this fertile land. Build a Rail
Road through this country and it will
infuse new life in the minds of the
people, new energy and new inter-

CONSUMPTION, ITS CURE & IT'S PREYEN-
TIVE. BY DIR. ]. Il. SCHENCK. N. D.

Many human being has passed away, for
whose death there was no other reason than the
neglect of known and indisputaby proven
means of cure. Those near and dear to family
and friends are sleeping the dreamless
slumber into which, had they calmly adop-
ted DR.. JOSEPH SCHENCKs simple treatment,
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica-
cous medicines they would not have fallen.
DIR Schenck has in his own case proved that
whatever sufficient vitality remains that vitality
by his medicines and his directions for their
use, is quickened into healthful vigor.
In this statement there is nothing presumpt-
nous To the faith of the invalid is made no
representation that is not a thousand times sub
stantiated by living and visable works. The
theory of the cure by DIR. Schencks medicines
is as simple as it is aunfailing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. 1t is selfassuring, self
convincing.
The Sea-weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel of
the malady is assailed. TwO-thirds of the cases
of Consumption originate in dyspepsia and a
functionally disordered liver, With this con-
dtion the bronchial tubes ''sympathize' with the
stomach. They respond to the morbific action
of the liver. Here then comes the eliminating
result, and the setting in, with all its distress
ing syptoms, of

Now Ia Build a Good Fence.

Ell. .Snufhe,W EtrnPr-For the icne-
fit Of any who may want n permanent
fence and can't wait for the "pyracanth"
to grow, 1 offer the following: Get posts
and rails Of some lasting timber; posts
nine or niue and half feet long, leaV-
ing seven and half feet above ground;
rails ten and a half feet long and lapp-
ing six inches at each end in mortlse,
thus making nine and a half feet PAN
els. Posts should be mortised to suit
the rails, say two by four inches, hav-
ing seven mortises, about three, four,
Six, eight twelve and fifteen inches
apart, respectively. Should you have
crooked rails, they can be fitted with
their kind in same pannels. The posts
may be inverted and charred. Let the
top rails be bored and pinned through
every post, and you will have q fence
that will defy the passage Of horsemen
or Of any "fence-break," and one, too,
that will last twelve or fifteen years
without repairing. 1t will require less
than half the rails, and will cost very
little more than the old worm fence.

Management Of Horses.

Feed literally, work steadily, and
clean thoroughly, is my motto in the
management of horses. My great
trouble is 10 get the horses rubbe,i dry
and clean before leaving them tor the
night. Where horses are worked six
days in the week, thorough grooming
is absolutely essential to their health.
Tho more highly they are fed, the
more important it il to clean them -
Most men use the curry-comb too much
and the whiSk and brush too little.
do not myself insist upon it, but be-
licvc it would pay always 10 take the
whole harness from the horses when
put in the stables nj noon, and rub
them dry, washing the shoulders with
cold water, afterward thoroughly dry
ing them with a cloth.-.1n,e,. -ior:.,,3.
