They tell you this is disloyal Con

he works for you? They have told
YOU that Congress has displaced the
Union soldiers. This was au able

has this lie been reiterated, hat Inst
has been prepared, giving the names,
but the solemn fact Is that there are
twice as many soldiers in Subordlnate
positions, that have served in the tai-
eral army. as there we're before tie

How 60 Wake a Town.

Encourage every one, especially
new men, to come and settle among
you, particularly those who are worth :
and active whether they have capital
or not. Their labor alone is worth
money. Those who have capital will
buy lots, build houses, or tear ont and
remodel the old ones. Go to work aud
stimulate every legitimate enterprise
by giving it all the encouragement you
can, or by uniting your industry, in-
huence and capital ia the cause. Cu'-
tivate public spirit, and talk less than
you work. Help your neighbor. II
he Is in danger of breaking down,
prop him up in some way, either by
kind words or good counsel, or a lift
from your pocket book. If he gers
fairly down before you know his stu
alton, set him on his feet agsin-his
misfortune is to be pitied, not blamed
aud his talents and labor are worth
m u to the community. Besides it
may some day be your turn to need a
corresponding sympathy Encourage
your local authorities IN making pub
lie improvements for the good Of the
town and not keep upa continual abuse
upon them for not doing everything
according to your notion. Give them
credit for what they Do, aud not abuse.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
DER. JOHN BULLS
Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER AND AGUE
an rurrO avn Cpvpp

The proprietor of his celebrated medi-
cine jusdy claims for it a superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, speedy and permanent cure of Ague
aud Fever or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. lie refers to
the entire Western and Southern country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the
assertion, that in no case whatever will
it fail TO cure if the directions are strict
ly followed aud carried out. In a great
many cases single dose has been sulIi-
cient for a cure, and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle, with per-
feet restoration of the general health.
IL is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain to cure, If its use is con-
tinued in smaller doses for week or two
after the disease has been checked, more
especially in difficult aud long -standing
cases. Usually this medicine will not
require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order Should the patient, however,
require a catharttc medicine, after ha~-
ing taken three or four doses of the tonic,
a single dose of Bulls Vegetable Family
Pills will be sufficient
The genuine SMITHS Tonic SYRuP must
have DIR. John Bulls private stamp on
each bottle. DR.. John Bull only has the
right to manufacture and sell the origi-
nal John J. Smiths Tonic syrup, of Louis
vile, KY. Examine we'll the label OF
each bottle If my private stamp is no
on each bottle, do not purchase, or yol
will be deceived.

Samuel Houghton, author of a work
on "Animal Mechanics" writes to
Nature respecting the relative strength
of the lion and the tiger:-1 have
proved that the strength Of the lion in
the fore limbs is only 69.9 per cent. Of
that of the tiger, and that the strength
of his hind limbs is only 65.9 per cent.
of that Of the tiger. / may add that
five men can easily hold down lion,
while it requires nine men to control
tiger. Martial also states that the
tigers always killed the lions in the
amphitheatre.
