TRY DAYS AGUE TOXIC

Quinine removes the periodicity of a chill to-day, bat it IS apt to return on the morrow. All malarious diseases require that the stomache shall be thor ohgily cleansed, the liver unlocked, the bowels unloaded, and the pores of lhe skin opened before final cureS can be effected. Quiiiine,nor any other drug can possibly produce these results at the same time, hence q permanent cure is seldom effected. Days Ague Tonic has been so combined aud compounded that it produces all the above results Ut the same time. making ahsolule and pernaeent'eures4 leaving the system in Il healthy condition.

Personal Journalism.

We observe that many of our State papers are condescending to persona! journalism, and indulging in epithets toward each other which are neither chaste nor elegant, and which should not be tolerated Tn the craft. We do not object to witt cisms and pleasant "cuttings" at each other but when newspapers get to personalities they should not be recognized by the respectable press of the country. Our State Press Assoclation has condemned low personal journalism, and no paper should be admitted into the brotherhood that indulges in it.. Let us joke each other as much as we please, but let the jokes and fun be carried on in decent and res pectful manner. So far as this pa per is concerned, we intend it shall live up to the rules of the associa- tion, and low flung personalities shall not contaminate it's columns.
 Brethern of the press, jet us be friends, work together for the good of the craft, holding our calling too high to condescend to personalities. Prescott Dispatch. .....
 Bro Warren the above needs no amendment, and we trust the State Press will adopt every word con tained in the ailusion, and heucefor ward, follow it's wise tellings.-Fay ettville Democrat.

active fall shipments commences. We 1 have not lost faith in the Coinpany's l intention to do the fair and handsome thing for Russellyille yet.
 --IMpoRTANT.-Co Surveyor Potts placed a communication before the towsi council at it's last meeting which contained suggestions of so much in- portance that we trust the matter will be neglected no longer. Mr. Potts states that so far as he is able to ascer- tain there is no established or recog- nized beginning point from which any lot, street or parcel of ground may be described in it's metes and bounds, and that there is no plat of the town on file in the County Clerks office. It does seem to us that this is 6 very loose and unsafe way Of doing things. How is any property owner to know when he has the description of his lot fight unless there is some lawfully establish ed starting point from which to take bearings and measurements? Where bull ings and encloseures stand out on
 
 the street so as to make offsets and leave the street narrower at some places than it is at other places how is it to be ascertained who It is that is over his line? Mir. A., owning lot or building on the north side of the street may claim that he is on the line, and that it is Mir. B., his neighbor on the oppo- site side of the street who has encroach- ed upon the street. Now in the ab- sence of any established starting point how is it to be ascertained who is right and who wrong. The fact of the mat ter is, without such an established starting point we are all going by guess, and there is no certainty whether our lots are properly described or not. The town council should at once pro- vide for the establishment of lawful starting point and have reliable sur vey made and an accurate plat of the town recorded. The longer the matter is delayed the more confusion it will cause and the greater inconvenience and discontinue it may cause property owners after while. e4

THE YELLOW LEAF

What significance this brings to the heart of man. An, yesi the thoughts that cluster around the idea of "yellow leaf," are full of pathos and meaning.
 They speak in tones not easily mis- understood, that although they in spring and summer time, fluttered to the breeze when fresh and green, that now during the fall season, they are assuming their winter garb of death, and will soon fall to the earth and be forgotton.
 An, what sad thought. Thousands of females are this dayspassing through the yellow leaf stage prematurely. They are rapidly closing their lives of usefulness by refusing to rescue them selves when so potent and reliable rem ely is at hand as the English Female Bitters, the great female regulator of the day.

An old physician, retired from prac- tice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure for con sumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful cura- tive powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive, and desire to relieve human suffering, 1 will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe, with full directions for preparing and using, in German, French, or English.

NEW HOPE VALLEY, March 8, '79.

NEW HOPE ALLEY, mdTCH Q, fo. MR. EDITOR: I never in life before undertook to write anything to be printed in a newspaper; but desiring to know something about the Greenback Money Bush, 1 would like to know whether he is dead or whether he has made fortune and left the country, or whether he has planted his whole crop ir. chufas and let the hogs root him in the river or not, or whether he farmed last year or not, and if he did, how he came out on his blooded cotton seed or in other words, how much money to the bush. As it is nearly planting time we would like to hear from all practical farmers.
 So, MT. Editor, if you think this is worthy of being put in your valuable paper, do so. Yours truly,
 SUBSCRIBER.
