State and, as understand it, are, unbounded
tracts, going to cultivate small farms on the En-
gliSh system. We can and do but wish them the
greatest success and prosperity These lands are all
susceptible of improvement, and if with the addition
of stock and sheep raising, they do not succeed it will
be solely account Of not expanding little muscular
effort in the right direction Let them recoect that
though the original settlers of these SOILS like the soil
itself, very poor yet they were proud any
English Lord, and have all accumulated compe-
tence. There are not at this day dozen natives of
what "croakers" call poor mountain whites, but
own their home of hundred acres or more, have
horses and all necessary tools to cultivate their SOIL
besides their STOCK ETC. They likewise have lat least
great many good orchards of the best of fruits.
None so poor as that they may have any fears
for the morrow or the year These "croakers"

idea they were going to crtclse us SO quickly after
the advent of the railroad they might have found
their houses better finished and furnished One
thing is certain, not one in a hundred, who runs
down this section has as good bed to sleep in, or
more of the necessares of life to fall back upon than
the poor whites of the mountains. We have not vet
got used to the elegancies and decacies of life, and
do pray that long indeed may be the day in noun

wandering little from my subject, and falling back

money, properly directed. AT any rate, they have
noble coadjutor in the person Of Mr.. Amos Hill,
native Englishman, who has for great number of
years resided with us, and whose success here has
certainly been beyond peradventure

Who is Mrs. winslow9

As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is a lady who for
upwards of thirty years has untiringly de
voted her time and talents asa female ply
sician and nurse, principally among chill
dren. She has especially studied the con-
stitution and wants of this numerous class,
and, as result of this effort, and practical
knowledge, obtained in a lifetime spent as
a nurse and physician, she has compoun-
ded a Soothing Syrup for children teething.
l; operates like magic-giving rest and
health, and is moreover, sure TO regulate
the bowels. In consequence of this article,
Mrs. Winslowis becoming world-renowned
as a benefactor of her race; children GER
tainly do rise up and bless her; especially
is this the case in this city. Vast quanti-
ties of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold
and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortalized herman by this invalua-
BILE article, and we sincerely believe thous-
ands of children have been saved from an
early grave by its timely use, and that mil.
lions yet unborn will share its benefits, and
unite in calling her blessed. No Mother
has discharged her duty to her suffering
little one, in our opinion, until she has Civ

ing Syrup. Try it, mothers-try it now

WHAT inducement can a counterfeiter
have to produce anything good or reliablef
He has no reputation and nothing to lose,
and ifhe can make up anything cheap that
he can get money out Of, what cares he
whether it does harm or notf Any one who
will resort to substituting, counterfeitng or
initiating so as to steal from the reputation
of another will not do to be trusted, certain
ly in making medicine for the sick. Such
is the action of several Adventures who
initiate, substitute or claim some medicine
to take the place of Simmons Liver Regu-

are these the kind of people you want to
