the collector, will take an oath that
Mr.. Parker called upon Mr.. Head, the
collector, at 5 o'clock p. m, or within

us that he called to leave his collection

growing worse, when l consulted you.

your prescribed remedies for 4 few weeks,
the throat troubles entirely disappeared,
and my general health became as good as
formerly. 1t is but just to add, that dur
ing this lapse of time, the disease has
never again appeared.

Gleed that your treatment Of her case for
Bronchial catarrh some four years since,
was very successful etfecting cure in
two or three months. Most earnestly

Some OF our West Hartford
friends went to Hartford to attend the

ladies adjourned to the parlor. The
fire getting low, the proprietor was
kindly asked to rebuild it. He retus-
ed and conducted our friends to the
dining-hall where they were graci-
ously informed "they might stay"
We will say our friends did not
"stay," but went to a private house
and came home on the two o'clock
train Sunday a. m. We will say our
host of the Hartford Hotel had better
take lessons of Mr.. Harding, and use
his guests as well as we use our
tramps.

AT the 35th Senatorial nominating
Convention, in Atlanta, 10 response
to a call, Col. J. w. Robertson made
one of the most chaste and appropri-
ate speeches Of the kind ever deliv>
cred, and Judge Wright, the chair
man of the meeting, echoed the uui-
versal sentiment of the spectators
when he remarked that that speech
showed the wisdom of the choice Of
the member. Judge J. w. H. I'M
darwood, on being called out for a
speech, heartily endorsed the conven-
ton movement, and poured shot
shot" into certain papers that set up
.'straw men" in the shape If oppos-
ing arguments, and fight them to
show that they (the papers) are 10
favor of convention. Yet 10 their
very arguments in favor OF a conven>
ton the nsincerity of their profess
sions are manifest. What we want,
said Judge Underwood, are men of
honesty and integrity in that conven-
ton. Ability and experience are
worthless, if they be not governed
by honesty and integrity of purpose.
