Who Has Not Been Bilious 2

Probably no one. Doubtless we have all suf- fered to some extent the disagreeable sensations which disordered or languid liver can inflict Sallowness of the skin, constipation, nausea, vertigo, soreness in the vicinity of the organ affected, a sensation as of congestion in the head, positive headache, loss of appetite, extreme thirst, high color of the urine, are among the symptoms which announce 8 per version or vitiation of the bile. The remedy of remedies for the above is Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, administered by medical men !; pronounced pure and wholesome by them, and popular comprehensive family medicine, and as a specific preventive and remedy for chills and fever and bilious remittents through out America, and to a wide extent in foreign counties. Disorders in the stomach and bowels, as we'll as liver, are speedily rem ediabIe with this popular and time honored medicine

A Big Rat Story.

The Columbus (Ga) Enquirer tells the following rat story: Some years ago its informant was living at farm, the barn of which was burned, and with it many rats. Some of the animals es. capped, however, with serious injuries, and took up their abode under piles of lumber near creek. At this place one came out, drank and returned with a straw in his mouth. Walking up to the lumber he pushed his straw under, and presently another came out, holding the other end of the straw. The first then started for the creek, leading his com- panion (which was afterward found to be blind) to the water. After the blind one had drank they returned in the same manner.

The following decision, re-
Gently made by the department
at Washington, is Of interest to
many who will be enabled there
by to draw pension:
1t has heretofore been held
by the Pension Office that in
cases of minor children the linn
itation began when the child
reached the age of sixteen years,
and that no claim on account of
a minor could be entertained
that was not filed prior to the
date on which the child became
twenty-onc. The new arrears
law wipes out all limitation, and
any child now over twenty-one
years of age who would have
been entitled to pension and
failed to apply before reaching
majority, can file a. claim and
rosecute it successfully.
Claims of this class, rejected
under the rulings of the office,
can be reopened and allowed.

A Way to Pay-eF the State
Z Debt.
GaIlatin Examiner.


We are glad to see that our
State Treasurer and The Comp
trollcr arc determined to collect
back taxes, and force persons
whose lands and town lots have
been sold to redeem them, or
take possession of them. This
is right. There is enough due
the State on lands sold to buy
in half Of the State debt.
Those who do pay their taxes,
not only support the State Gov
ernmeat, but pay four dollars
cost on every piece of real es-
tate that is sold fortaxes. The
Comptroller is appointing COM
missioners in the different judi
cia. districts to examine the ac-
counts and books of aIl-the
Trustees and Clerks, with in
structlons to make them pay in
to the Treasury all sums collec-
ted, and not reported; and on
their failure to do SO, to indict
them.
1t is said that there is due the
state from defaulting revenue
officers since 1865-five millions
of dollars. Now, if these sums
TO meet back taxes and mon
les collected by revenue officers,
could be collected, the state
could pay every one of her out
standing bonds. We trust the
good work will be pushed Wig
orously.
