FEELS YOUNG AGAIN.

'My mother was afflicted long time with
Neuralgia and dull, heavy, inactive condition
of the whole system; headache, nervous pros
tratiou, and was almost helpless. No physi-
clans or medicines did her any good. Three
months ago she began to use Hop Btters, with
such good effect that she seems and feels
young again, although over 70 years old. We
think there is no other medicine fit to
use in the family. pa lady, Providence, r. 1.

SEND DELEGATES.

Monday, August 9TH. convention
will be held at Bolivar to send dele
gates to Nashville to nominate q Demo
cratic candidate for Governor 1t is
very important to have each district
represented in this county convention.
On election day the people can very
easily hold meetings and select dele
gates. Moreover, remember that the
next Governor Will be elected either as
n high OF low tax man and the dele
gates you send to Nashville will have
a large influence in determining this
result. BE out, tken, in force and let
the masses have a voice on this vital
question. Don't leave this matter to
be managed by few persons. Don't
forget to adopt resolutions endorsing
the Chamber of Commerce, Memphis,
for urging the opening Of Hatchie
river. Let the people bestir them
selves and no longer slumber.

Why We are not Prosperous.

The papers are filled with glowing
statements with regard to the wheat
crop, and this is not all; the prospect
for abundant crops of corn, rye, oats
and barley are equally fattering. There
will be an immense crop of hogs, and
the cattle outlook was never more fat
tering. The root crop will be above
the average, and fruit will be abun-
dant. The cotton crop will be large
and sugar and rice will meet the ex-
pectatiOns of planters. The mines of
iron and copper and of the precious
metals respond to the largest demand,
and streams of wealth, to all appear
ances, will never have rolled their
tides deeper over the country. All of
this looks like prosperity. But We
have had all these things for series
of years, and still the country has been
not only prosperous, but business of
every description has been PROSTATE;
bankruptcy has increased at fearful
rate, failures have multiplied, idleness
has extended its conquests, poverty
has taken a deeper hold upon the peo-
! pie, until the business decentralization
has extended from the center to the
circumference of the land. Where
fore all this? How does it happen
that in the midst of bOundless plenty
there is growing inability to purchase
the absolute necessities of life! There
! is but one answer to those queries.
The country has been in the hands of
the Radical party, and legislation has
been 50 shaped, that the producing
class have been sacrificed that a few
moaeyed Shylocks might increase their
gain. The purchasing power Of dol
lar has been increased, while the mon
ey power Of skilled labor has been q
thousand fold; indeed, in millions of
instances, it has been deprived of any
income whatever, and left to perish.
Thus, while the country has been
blessed with abundant harvest, it has
been cursed with stagnation in bust
ness that millions Of people, nOtwith-
standing the plentifulness and cheap
ness Of food, have been unable to pur-
chase at any price. The season is ad-
vancing, but we do not hear Of return
ing confidence. We are not told that
industries are reviving. There is no
increased demand for labOrers. Win
ter will soon be upon the country.
Commercial reports may show an in
creased foreign demand for the sur
plus food products of the country, and
the balance of trade in our favor may
! be increased and commented upon as
an evidence of national prosperity
But until labor finds employment at
remunerative wages, until working
/ people are able to earn enough to feed
and clothe themselves and their fami-
lies, statistics of large crops and in
creased exports will not evidence a
condition of general prosperity. They
will give false impressions and mis-
lead those who accept them as conclu-
size testimony upon the subject
of tie improved condition of the PEG
/ ple.-IndianopoIs Sentinel.

Farmer Wanted.
By request We Publish the Following Let
ter for the Consideration of the peO-
pie of HardemaA county.
Thomas Shea, Esq.
DEAR SIR:-The farmers of Shelby
county have recently formed several
clubs with others in process of forma-
ton for the purpose of looking after
their own interest i'll the coming cleo
tons. And we are very DESTROYS of
consulting with the farmers of Harde-
man and Fayette counties as to who
shall be our next Congressman for the
tenth district. And having been chos-
EN- corresponding secretary of these
clubs, l wrote to your representative
in the last State Assembly, (Mr. Man
SOM at whose suggestion [ now write
to you, together with several other
gentlemen III your county.
BY carefully examining the latest
congressional directory we find the 45th
congress composed of about three hun
dred and sixty-seven lawyers, twenty
bankers and only thirteen merchants
and eight farmers, with still fewer
from most of the other callings. These
figures speak for themselves.
Shelby county has been in the habit
of nominating the congressman who
is always a lawyer. Now it is our
earnest desire and wish that you
should consult with the farmers of your
county and Fayette, and unite upOu
the best man you have in either coun-
ty, and if he is not lawyer, banker
or bondholder, we will give him solid
support both in the convention and at
the ballot box. We have but one OBJ
ject in this effort, which we are max
ing, which is to be represented by
men who are to some extent at last
identified with our interests.
Memphis candidates are already in
the field, and if you desire different
representative we hope you will act
promptly. Please let US know wheth-
er this proposition meets with your
approval, and whether you regard it
as practicable. Should you select a
candidate we would like to know who
he is at once and have him come
down and meet with the farmers OF
Shelby. Hoping to hear from you at
your earliest convenience, am very
respectfully your obedient servant.
w. H. NELSON.

OPENING OF DIG HATCHIE.

An esteemed correspondent else
where in this issue writes urging the
people of the county to meet in CON
vention on election day and adopt res
olutions cooperating with the Cham
Der of Commerce at Memphis, looking
to the opening of our river for com
mercial purposes. This is a most vital
question. Its importance is related to
the largest monetary interest of the
people, not only inuring to the saving
Of vast sums of money through reduced
freight rates on cotton, lumber, grain
ETC., but, which is of far higher aud
broader benefit, the draining and dry
ing of many thousands of acres of the
richest alluvial bottom lands all along
on Spring, Muddy, Little Hatchie,
Grays and other tributary creeks.
BY reason of the spring and summer
back-waters from the Hatchie, large
area of the most valuable land in the
county is rendered not only entirely
useless to the owner, but made to be-
come burdensome, because it is unpro-
ductive taxable property. The legis-
lature should declare the river naviga-
BILE, and then the United States gov
eminent will survey the stream and
make report preparatory to having an
appropriation for removing obstruc-
tons. Let us all go to work and
I tire not until the Hatchie is once moro
popular commercial highway.

By common consent the speech of
General Dupuy in prosecuting Phillips
and BurroV for murder was an able
and convincing argument. General
Dupuy is one Of the most fearless and
impartial State adrocates IN the com
monwealth. The people appreciate
his services and will give him at the
polls in August a substantial evidence
of their unqualified appreciation. In
these disiointed times it * very unusual
to find n public man like DuPuy, unit
ing in his person eminent Sbiiitjes and
purity of character. We aeed just
such men in public Offices. Il Is a de,
naand of the times. We say this much
for General Dupuy, Not disIaraging
the claims Of other gentlemen who are
candidates for the same office with
him, but because as Acknowledgement
he is deservedly entitled to the warm
est pubic commentator. He has
wcrthilv won hi spur and justice dc
mands an appropriate recognition OF
his narsonal and official worth.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill n day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that Obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calOmel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

From District Twelve.
Messrs. Editors:
july 2lth, 1879.

In perusing the columns of your
valuable journal, l see letters from
every district in the county except
number Twelve, so we beg a small
space in the Bulletin to let folks know
that there is such district, and that
somebody lives in this remote part of
the county. We cannot boast of any
thing very extraordinary III our dis
trict except our crops, for religion and
educational interest are at very low
ebb in our neighborhoOd. We have no
preaching, no Sabbath school, not
even so much as a Murphy society,
but We did have a barbecue at which
time we made arrangements for a
Murphy rally, we invited speakers
from Bolivar, but some of your va
liant ssarriors would not come to defend
the cause Of temperance in our midst.
We regret very much that we were
disappointed in getting speakers, for
several were present who had fully
resolved on that day to don the blue
and rise above their degrading habits
of iRtemPerance. If the senior editor
wOnld come ont and give us a speech
we feel satisfied that his efforts would
be a success, for we have plenty of
material to work on, and we think
that the harvest is ripe, all that is
needed now is labOrers. Hoping that
you will visit our district soon. Wish
ing the Bulletin all possible success, I
am yours very respectfully.
QUACK.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain Is in the left side; The
patient is rarely able to lie on the lctt
side; sometimes the pain IS felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently eX-
tends to the top of the shoulder. and is
sometimes mistaken for I rheuma, ism IN
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are CoShye, sometime G!tcTna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with 4 dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There IS
generally considerable loss ofmcmory,
accompanied with painful sensation OF
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains Of I
priCkly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he IS satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrust,
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination oftne body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tenSiVely deranged.
