KEDZIE'S
Reliable
Improved sTater FILTER !

After years of labor and study, a Water Filter
has been constructed SO perfect In ita internal At
engagements, that every family or person having
them in use are assured of pure healthy water al
all times. Also know to a certainty they arc
taking into the stomach no sort OF kind OF lArva
or spawn OF WOrms-OF insects or strange loath-
some amin scuiae-or impure floating matter,
that often lays the foundation of disease. This
improved Water Filter readily removes all this,
also in all cases, taste, color or smell from the wa
ter; consequently it must be pure, drinkable
and healthy.
The manufactuIer-R. A. BusEELL-spares
no expense in prOcuring the finest purified Car
bon both Bone and Wood, and quartz Slick free
from Lime or mineral from the packing. So
that tie kedtie improved Water Filter may be
the most perfect pu rifer of water in use. They
have been put TO the severest tests, and proved
an entire success in every instance.
Every family valueing pure water aud good
health should have them il use.
Hydrant water should be filtered to make 1t
driDbsb!e for the reason that many impure sub
stances are held in suspension, which when re-
moved. rendered it a much more desirable beV-
craze. so much 90 that all who use the Reliable
" ster FILTER for short time would not be de-
pTived Of Its use.
The kedzie Improved Water Filter is being
sold throughout the United sta es and Canadas,
and those who now h>vs them in use certify 10
| their utility as a perfect purifier of wafer. and
say TO the manufacturers /: Make your Reliable
Improved Filter generally known, for it works
like . charm. Manufactured by

Crop Prospects.
The Mobile Tribune saws:

The Mobile Tribune says:
Our Tuscaloosa correspondent gentle
man whose opinion on this subject is as
valuable as that of any other man in the
State, writes us, under date of the four
teenth instant, as follows:
Since the planting of my crop my health
has been bad, and confined me pretty much
to my house. / think learned yesterday
pretty correctly its condition.
My stand is good, but not so much cotton
planted as last year. We are very much in
the grass; can't say when we shall get out
The cotton looks well, to be so smothered
with weeds and grass. My fine prospect for
corn is now looking bad-could not be
plowed in time. We have had ten days
line weather for clearing out crops of the
grass, which we have used to good ad-
vantage.
To-day it looks like rain. Three days of
very wet weather and our crops are lost.
Crops in rolling land are doing better,
though they have some grass. Most of our
very fiat land, and low branch and creek
land, is given up-drowned ont. The basins
and low places in our fields are pretty
well lost by water standing in them. The
negroes work well, but are not able to re-
.sist General Green Grass.

International workingmen,s Society

IRON the 81. Louis republican.
NEW YORK, June l8.-By the late mail
from England to-day, the London Times
gives us an authentic account of the Inter
national WOrkingmen's Society. Although
only founded nine years ago, it numbers
through the world two million five hundred
Thousand members. Started by German
in Berlin, it has its central bureau in Lon
don, and branches in this country. 1t is
aided by the following secret societies: The
Marianne Brothers of the Republic of Lyons
and Marseilles, the many organizations OF
Russia and Poland, and the Carbonari all
over Europe. The central bureau in Lon
don has no president but consists of Sec
rotary general and fifteen members. Each
country is a branch, which is divided into
sections. Weekly each central bureau
sends reports to the London office-frst,
the political and commercial events of the
neighborhOod; second additional members;
third, the financial state; fourth the names
of principal merchants and tradesmen; fifth,
names of principal proprietors and capital
lists: sixth, copies of the minutes of meet
ings held. The popularity of the associa-
ton is, that while appealing to the working
classes of the world by an argument which
the simplest can comprehend, it has a
philosophy and political economy of its own
sufficiently specious to attract theorists and
would-b be reformers, and reaches the loftiest
and basest natures equally well.
