horses and cattle. astonished the planters
and farmers of the Mississippi and Ohio
Valley, and a demand for il sprung IN
which necessitated its manufacture on an
extensive scale. Soon the discovery was
made that it was a grand specific for rheu-

and other external ailments of mankind
Then it was tried a. healing. pain killing

as cuts. bruises, burns, spasms. &C., and was
found equally serviceable. The fame Of the
new remedy for some of the most painful
ills that afflict mankind and the lower ami

ment soon took rank in every State and
Territory of the Union as a STANDARD

Cor. of Mr.. bennett of the n. o. Pieayune
The thrifty villages that arc springins
up on the Jackson Railroad. even amidst
poverty and bad government. seem quite
astonishing. Crystal Slrings, Hazlehurst
WessOn, Summit, Magnolia, Osyka, Tangi-
pahoa. Amite, and some other villages
show decided signs of prosperity and prom
Use.
McComb City is started on grand scale
and is doubtless to be the finest town on the
road. 1t is laid ont under the direction oil
one controlling mind, and there will be nc
conflict about how, or when, improvements
shall be made.
Other villages of less Importance are scat
tered along the line, and will grow and
prosper, and new villages will spring up
In ten or fifteen years there may be thirty
or forty thrifty villages and several large
cities on this road. some of them seats OF
large manufacturing establishments.

number and extent of vineyards must be
rapid. The soil along this road can be pur-
chased cheap, and it is admirably adapted
to grape culture.
Peaches do well on this soil, and they pay
a good profit.
Various kinds of garden vegetables do
well here, and the New Orleans market is
about at their door. Melons, pinders and
sweet potatoes do well here. Hogs, COWS,
and horses are healthy, and may be raised
very probably along the road.

"HOw 10 Go West"

Forty years ago, Illinois was as far
West as most people wished to go, and
journeys were made in the legendary
"Prairie Schooner" but in these days OF
Progress and Improvement, the word
West has come to mean Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, California and the
Territories, and the traveller reaches al
most any point therein by splendid
Line of Railroad.
This Line of Railroad is the Burling-
ton Route, which starts from Indianapo-
lis, Bloomington and Western Short
Line, and from Logansport over the
Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw Railroad,
and running through Burlington reaches
Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City, Saint
Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and
Kansas City, connecting with the Union
Pacific, Kansas Pacific, and the other
railroads running from those cities.
People going to Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, California, or any point in the Ter
rItories, will study their own interest
by going "By way of Burlington" for
the rates of that Line are always as low
as any other, and it is the best Route in
the West, therefore you are more sure of
your safety and comfort.
The Burlington Route has admirably
answered the question allow to go

lent Pamphlet, containing large, truth
full map of the Great West, and much
interesting and valuable information

Va. Military Lands.

The bill introduced by our Repre-
sentative, Hon. P. N. Wickerham,
as a substitute for Senator Wright's
bill, was defeated in the House last
week, and Mr.. Wright's bill was
passed, with several important
amendments, which it is believed
will secure the principal objects de-
signed to be secured by Mr.. Wicker
hams bill, namely to protect the
poorer class of settlers, and prevent
the lands from being bought up by
spectators. The bill as finally pass
ed, gives every actual settler 125
acres ofIand, on payment of a trife
over the expense of survey, and pre-
vents the sale of more than 160 acres
to any one purchaser.
Mr.. Wickerham spoke for more
than an hour and a half in defense of
his bill, and though it failed to pass,
it was chiefly through his efforts
that Mr.. Wright's bill was finally
so that it secured the rights
of the poor settlers. Our county has
reason to feel proud of her Repre-
for the part he has taken
in regard to these lands.

We have received a copy of the
Springfield Republic, in which we
find card from Mr.. G.. w. Hast
ings, President of the "Republic
Printing Co." Mr.. h. says
"In conclusion, would say that no
county officer has ever been offered
per centage by the Republic Print
ing Co., or, to their knowledge, by
any of its agents, to secure work"
Very well, Mr.. H., we have given
our authority for the charge that
commission aCds offered in at least
one instance. Mr.. J. R. Clymer, OF
the Bucyrus Forum, whose letter we
published a few weeks ago, stated
that while he was Clerk of the Court
of Crawford county, he was "repeat-
edly approached by the agent of a
Springfield establishment" (meaning
the Republic Printing Co." as we
understand Mr.. c. who offered him
a commission of Is or 20 per cent.
on all orders for blanks. 1t is now
a question of veracity between the
Republic Co. and Mr.. Clymer, and
we shall see whether the latter will
retract, or sustain his charge by
proof.

Virginia Military Lands.

The Bill vesting the title to these
lands, includes all the unsurveyed
lands in the Virginia Military Dis
trict, and passed the Legislature
March %, 1871. There are, in most
of the counties embraced in this
District, small parcels of land, cores
between surveys, to which the oc-
cupants or claimants can now pro-
cure title. 1t is claimed by some
that there are some such lands in
county. The occupants
or claimants of such lands can, by
procuring a survey and plat of the
same, and filing it with the Auditor
of the county in thirty days, pro-
cure legal title to the lands. The
Trustees will attend to all such
claims, and if embraced in the act
of Congress ceding these lands to
the State, will execute titles to the
same. J. NJ. TRIMBLE,

On EyerybOdy,s Tongue.

Eulogiu'ns Of the great National Re-
generator of Health, Plantation Bitters,
are on everybody's tongue. This gratu-
itous viUd zoos advertising is better than
all the paid-for putting to which the
owners of bogus bitters are obliged to
resort. 1t has a spontaneous heartiness
about it which carries conviction to the
mind of the auditor. But it is a we'll
known fact that the proprietors of the
Plantation Bitters have never relied up
on newspaper bolstering to establish the
success of u preparation which owes its
astonishing popularity mainly to the
oral testimony of the thousands who
have either experienced or been the eye
witness of the immense physic good it
has wrought throughout the length and
breadth of the land. mar28w1
