VEGETINE.

V4@GxxN, !,
The great success of Vegetine in curing such
diseases as Scrofula, inherited III the blood, to-
gether with the increasing demand of the medi-
cine is conclusive evidence of its actual merit.
No medicine was ever placed before the public
with so much positive proof of its real value as
the VEGErISE, which has cured many cases OF
Scrofula of i've ten and twenty years standing,
where the patient has had many physicians,
tried many of the known remedies; and, after
trying the VEGETINE, the common remark is,
" Ii acts differently, works differently, from any
medicine have ever taken" VEGETISE will
cleanse Scrofula from the system. Try it.

"Reckon you must have power

A NEW MILCUER,

Really history would be outraged
if something were not said of our
new miIcher. He sent note to
gentleman Is miles in the country
last week to know if he had cow
that would suit him, describing such
one as he wanted. Queen Victoria
would give her crown for half in>
terest in such COW as he described.
Mr.. Blank responded by sending the
cow, and our senior skinned his
hands rubbing them with satisfaction
when he heard she was coming.
They drove her into the lot, and
twelve or fifteen Of the children ran
in to tell their papa size had arrived.
He went and there she was, backed
up against the tree resting. He ap'
preached her very civily, and the
first word he uttered was to shed a
tear of sympathy. 1t was very ev~
iient that it was too large cow for
the skin, or that the wrong skin had
been put upon her, for the bones
stuck up like stumps in new clear
ing; and then it was put on back
wards too, for the hair all turned.
the wrong way. One ear stood out
like a PLAN fan and the other flop
ped and had big tick hanging on
to it. One horn was gene and she
was Just taking the sore eyes, and
evidently had the toothache and the
CHAMBERS. She had lost her cud, and
had terrible cough, was badly spav-
ined, had wolves in her back, and
her tail had dropped off just because
there was nothing for it to hang on
to. And there she stood, and there
ne stood, and there the children
stood and the cook and the dog.
Presently all the cows in the neigh>
'borhood came believing and paving
around like they do at COW funer-
al, and the dogs gathered around her
for big bone, when the Senior told
the cook to go and get teaspoon
and milk her. He held the COW up
to keep the cook from pulling her
over when she pulled the teats, but
nary milk. They thought she would
not let down and sent Harry for an
ear of corn to coax her. He went
to neighbours and borrowed the
corn and came and hunched her SO
she would open her eyes, see and eat
but it scared her so bad she tainted.
The cook then carried her into the
stable, nailed up the door and hung
Grape on it, while the Senior went
into the house to write an advertise
ment, Cline Cow for Sale" Moral;
Don't buy COW from the Senior
Pulask; Citizen.

TIE Democratic majority on tn.

TIE Democratic majority on the
popular vote was 264, 629. 1t is en-
tirely unnecessary for US to state the
majority in the Electoral College.
The entire vote for Mr.. Tilden was
1906, 636, for Mr.. Hayes, 4,04O, SOY.
The electoral vote stood Tilden 1874,
Hayes 1G5. OF the. twenty contest
ed votes Mr.. TiIden had rightly and
justly in every respect thirteen, with
South Carolina doubtful. A party
may override the peoples will
once, but they will not do it again.
The Republican party threw away
its entire future to win one more
term. If the South is ever cheated
and defrauded again, it will be her
own fault. We know enough Of the
Republican party and its judges, and
know Just what confidence to place
in it in the future. Nor will we be
the silent followers of the Democrats
ic party. We will in the future have
a decided voice relative to elections
and all other matters relating to the
South.

A BOY EMPEROR.

Just think of it, little folks The
Emperor of China is only six years
old, and he is just getting ready to
go to school. His Empire is a very
large one, and he has over four
hundred million subjects. Now
wouldn't you feel curious if you had
command of this vast number of peo-
pie ? The young Emperor is going to
school just like other boys, only he
will go to very select school, and
funniest of all, he will have a young
companion with him who must be
whipped by the teacher whenever
the young Emperor behaves badly.
If you boys and girls had somebody
to take whippings for you, you might
be tempted sometimes TO talk out 10
school, and do other things to annoy
the teachers. Don't you feel sorry
for that little boy who has to be fog
ged whenever the Emperor chooses
to throw paper wads, or put pins in
the teachers chair or whistle out
loud We hope however, the Ems
peror will be good boy, just as we
hope all our little folks will be good
children at home and at school
Children should love and respect
their teachers, for by SO doing they
do credit to themselves and their
parents, and make their teachers
love them.

WHAT A CHILD WANTS.

When child begins to read it be-
comes delighted with a newspaper,
because it reads of names and things
which arc familiar, and it will pro-
gress accordingly. A newspaper in
one year is worth q quarters school
ing to a child. Every father must
cousider that information is connect
ed with advancement. The mother
of a family, being one of its heads,
and having more immediate charge
of children, should herself be in
structed. A mind occupied becomes
fortified against the ills of life, and is
braced for any emergency. Children
amused by reading or study, are, of
course, more considerable and more
easily governed. Therefore subscribe
for the Marietta JOURNAL for the
benefit of your child if not for your

MISCELLANY.
IL Aud..eace ef One.


Governor Jose1h c. Foster, the veteran
American marag r. attor, aid author, some
years ago organized theatrical company to
play short engagements in various cities and
towns Of ths West, They arrived at Bucyrus,
Ohio. email city on the sandnsky river,
whore bills were issued, q hall rented, and
properties engaged. During their stay anoyel
incident occurred. Mr.. Foster was sitting in
the hotel (the Sims House,, Eliminating, in
all probability, u,ion the full house he was to
have, when stranger entered the room; with
bill for tho evenings performance in hand.
9 Are you the manager OF the theatre?' ask
ed the stranger. :. | am, sir, replied Fos-
ter e You arc to play Richard M to-
night7 Yes SIR am and always
have been fond of theatricaIs, but never had
an opportunity of seeing Richard I'LL
" Very well, sir, come tonight" "Unfor-
t,inately, l leave town this evening by the {. 45
train. Now, how mnch money would induce
your company to play Richard Ill. for me
this afternoon 2" Foster thinking the strang-
er was joking, replied that he would do 1t for
twenty-five dollars. The stranger looked at
the bill again, and inquired what would be
the extra charge for the :" Rough Diamond
To carry ont the Joke, Foster replied ten dol
dollars. To his surprise, the stranger pulled
his weasel" counted ont thirty-fve dollars,
and handing il to him, remarked that ne
wonld like TO have the play commence no
later than 3 o'clock. Foster gothic company
together, and related the circumstance. The
idea Of playing q Richard to an audience Of
one was 20 excessively ridiculous and 30 new
IN their experience, that they one aud all con-
sented. Two o'clock came, and the solitary
audience assembled. Choosing an eligible
position, and cooking his feet upon the back
Of the seat in front Of him, he waited for the
p rformance TO begin. The ben rang, up
went the curtain, and the play commenced.
Never did actors do better. They all exerted
themselves to give their patron an entertain
rnent fully worth the price paid for It and
they succeeded. The stranger appiauded vig-
orously at different points, and at the close OF
the play called the Richard, Mr. Joseph 7.
Fannin, before the curtain, who responded In
q neat little speech. A dance and song fol-
lowed, after which the farce of the Rough
Diamond was played. The audience laugh-
ed, roarcd, and applauded, and left in time to
catch tho g. - train.
