The boy wEo went to the mill on horse back, carrying the grist in one end of the bag and a stone iL the other, when reproved by tllc miller, and told to divide the grist, replied that his father and grandfather had carried it that way, and he, being no better than they, should continue to do as they did. Similar, or equally absurd. reasons are accounted as sufficient by some to warrant them in indiscriminately condemning Dr. Plerce's Family Medicines, even though there is overwhelming proof that they possess the merit claimed for them. For many years the Gold en Medical Discovery has been rec ognized as the leading liver and blood medicine in the market. Each year has brought an increase in it's sale, and it is now used throughout the civilized world. Thousands of unsolicited testimonials are on file in the Doctors office, attesting it's efficacy in overcoming aggravated coughs, colds, throat and lung affec- tions, also scrofula, tumors, ulcers, and skin diseases. Are you suffer- ing with some chronic malady? If so, and you wish to employ medi cines that are scientifically prepared; !; that are refined and purified by the chemical process employed in their manufacture; that are positive ill their action, and specific to the various forms of disease for the cure of which they are recommended, use Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines. Full particulars in Pierce's Memorandum Book, kept for free distribution by all druggists.

 1 Had the pleasure of meeting oul clever and handsome young friend Mir. James Potts, last Monday "Jeem Isaac" says he is tired o single cussedness." We agree with you, Jim, and we think we will try 'smarried bliss" before we see tho snows of another cold winter.
 The Masons of our "burg" re ceived an invitation to attend the Masonic picnic to be given at Rus sellville on the 23d of June. Frsm what we can learn they will turn ou, h full force. We wish them very pleasant time.
 Met Mir. A. R. Kanaga in town one day last week, and he tells us that his wheat and oat crop is doing great deal better than he expected Mir. K. is one of our most industri- ous farmers and is well up to his business and all the farmers would do we'll to follow his example.
 --One of the most enterprising business men of Atkins is Mir. T. w. Carer, proprietor of the Atkins Transfer Go. Mir. c. has the only licensed dray in the city and only charges 25 cents per load no matter how large it may be.
 We saw a great deal of wheat, rye, oats, corn and cotton on the road to Dover last Wednesday, and 1t all seemed to be doing very well. But we thlnk the farmers would have done much better by planting more grain and less cotton. Farm CTS remember the European war and give your grain plenty of attention if you have to neglect your cotton to do so.
 Our handsome young friend Dan. T. Reynolds has opened very nice assortment of general merchan- disc and has the largest and finest stock of queensware ever brought to our city and as Dan. IS a new one and expects to make Atkins his home we would like the public give him liberal patronage. We wish you much success, Dan.; and we have no doubts of your success if you will only take Al. off the Dover road and put him behind the coun- ters to wait on the ladies.
