MORE REFORMS.

Now that societies for the prcven-
ion Of cruelty TO animals have be
come quite common, some one sug-
Cests the establishing of an orgam-
cation for preventing cruelty To the
public. There are evils against
which society can only protect itself
by acting as unit. In large cities
there is long, loud call to resist the
scourge of the street organ. Then
come the milk wagons presided over
Jy figure heads of the Jehu variety,
making the turning Of street corners
more perilous to the pedestrian than
fooling around blasting mine when
the fuse is burning. Then the
" Great National Game" of base ball,
the first visitation of which was look
ed upon with calm Christian resig-
nation as only temporary, brought
on by climatic causes, like cholera,
epizootic, rinderpest, &C., and which,
like them, it was hoped, would shave
its day." and then haste to the shades
of the past, leaving nothing more
than a feeling of sadness over the
public which time would alleviate,
has absolutely "struck in" on our
people and become chronic. A mans
soul is harassed over his mornings
cup of coffee with column after col
umn of rehash in which there is a
curious tumble of vapid twaddle
about red stockings, and blue stock
ings, and striped breeches, and in
nings and points. All these impo-
sitions have been practiced until in
despair the people appeal for prOtec-
ton.

THE CATTLE MILLIONAIRE

Richard King, of Texas, the larg-
est owner of cattle in the world, is
remarkable man. He was born in
New York, and about the year 1910
came from Pittsburg to the Chatta-
hoocbee River as steward on the
steamboat Tallapoosa. In those days,
and for years after, the average life
of steamers on our river was three to
four years, and it was customary for
the captains who resided in the West
to carry their boats to Pittsburg for
the summer for repairs and return in
the fall. They received enough
freight on the round trip to pay ex-
penses. 1t was the era of large
floating palaces, side-wheelers, now
superseded by light draft stern
wheelers. There were no railroads.
Everything went to Apalachicola,
and river men made plenty of money.
Mr.. King, in the position of stew
ard, piled the river for several years.
He was second cook in lS43. Later,
he went to Tampa, Fla, and in a
short time he was engaged in service
on Government boats. Returning
to Columbus he became pilot.
About the middle of 1916 he, with
Mr.. John Sealy and others, went to
Texas, and he was engaged as pilot
on the steamer Corvette, running on
the Rio Grande. He bought a rancho,
and the property increasing year by
year, he now counts his stock by the
hundreds Of thousands, and his pos
sessions by millions. He owns a
magnificent residence in western
Texas, and miles of the best land in
the State. He continues to be a
steamboat owner. His wealth is es-
timated at from s., 600, 900 to 81, ,OOO,-

Pitchers CRstOria is a complete substitute
for Castor Oil, and is as pleasant to take as
honey. 1t is particularly adapted TO Teeth
ing and irritable children. 1t destroys worms,
assimilates the food, regulates the stomach,
and cures wind collie. Few remedies are as
efficacious for 1everishness, Group. worms and
whoOping-cough. Casforia is a scientific and
purely vegetable preparation, more effective
than Castor Oil, and neither gags nor gripes.

One kind for she Human Family.
The other for Horses and Animals.

These Liniments are simply the wonder of
the world. Their effects are little less than
marvellous
The White Liniment is for the human
family. 1t win drive Rheumatism, seiatica
and Neuralgia from the system; cures Lum-
oago, Chillblains, Lockjaw, Palsy, Itch, and
most cutaneous eruptions it extracts frost
from frozen hands and feet, and the poison of
bites and stings of venomous reptiles; it sub
dues swellings, and alleviates pain of every
kind. When sprains or bruises occur, it is the
most potent remedy ever discovered to heal
the injured parts. The Centaur Liniment is
used with great efficacy for sore throat, tooth
ache, caked breasts, earache and weak back.
The following is but sample Of numerous
testimonials:
Indiana Home, ,Jeff Co, Ind, May 2s, 1873.
Il think 1t my duty TO inform You that
have suffered much with swollen feet and
cords few bottles Of Centaur Liniment has
done the work for me. l have not been free
from these swellings in eight years. Now am
perfectly well. The Liniment ought TO be aI-
piled warm. BENJAMIN BROWN"
The proof is in the trial. 1t is reliable, it is
handy, it ischeap, and every family should
have the White Centaur Liniment.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment is adapted
to the tough muscles, cords and flesh of horses
and animals. 1t has performed more wonder
full cures, in three years. of SPAWN, strain,
windgalls, scratches, sweeny, and general
lameness, than all other remedies in existence.
Read what the great expressmen say of it:
"New York. January, 1874.
"Every owner of horses should give the
Centaur Liniment trial. We consider II the
best article ever used in our stables.
III. MARSH, Supt. Adams Ex. Stables, n. Y.

"ALBT s. OLIN, Supt. Nat. .Ex. Stables, N. Y"
The best patrons Of this Liniment are Far
riers and Veterinary surgeans, who are con-
tinually using some liniment. II heals gals,
wounds and poll evil, removes swellings, and
is worth millions of dollars annually to far
mers, hverymen, stock growers, sheep-raisers
and those having horses or cattle.
What a farrIer cannot do for so the Ceutaur
Liniment will do at a trIfiing cost.
These Liniments are sold by all dealers
throughout the country. They are warranted
by the proprietors, and bottle will be given
to any iarrier or physician who desires to test
them.

The entertainment given by the His
tronics last Tuesday night was COM
plete success. The house was crowded,
some OF the audience having TO stand
up. The performance of the club was
good indeed for amateurs, and those
present seemed well pleased. John b.
in "Old Black Joe," called forth rounds
OF applause and delighted the audience.
His song and dance was well rendered,
and profusion of bouquets was show
cred upon him. The piano renditions
by Miss Laurie Chidsey was very credi-
BILE to the performer, and Highly com
plimented by all who heard her. The
Ghost in the Pawnshop" was splen-
didly performed and well received. The
guitar duett by Wilkes and Becht was
crediIably rendered, and number of
bouIues We're thrown to them as q
compliment to their performance. In
fact, all the actoTs performed tLeir parts
well, and everything passed off first
rate save a slight disturbances created
by the remarks aud loud talking of one
Of the audience, who was publicly re-
proved from the stage. Such conduct
on the part OF stranger visiting our
quiet little city. and one. too. who rep
resents such firm IS VIM. Frolichstein,
Of Mobile, is highly reproheRsible.

Al half-past O'Clock last Tuesday ai-
t,ruoon tue house ironing on the river
belongiog to Robert J. Ker, and ocou,
pied by Mrs. Tsppey as a boarding
house, caught fire and was totally de-
stroyel. Large live oak trees stood
near the house, AMI sparks from the
kitchen stove iglited the moss hanging
from one of trees which dropped on the
roof and set it on fire. Most Of the
furniture, clothing, etc, belonging to
the occupants was saved. The build
ing was an old one, aud we presume the
loss will not amount to over $500.
Our people should organiza fire
company. II II building takes fire there
is no reasonable hope of extinguishing
the flames, and the citizens can only
stand by and see property estroyed
without being able to stay the fiery
fiend. We think our citizens have had
enough experience in fires to begin to
take some precautionary measures
against such devouriDg elements. Who
will second this motion and undertake
to raise tie means to purchase fire
engine?
