Wearing Out
That is just what a great
many people arc doing. They
know something is wrong,
and yet can't tell what is the
matter.
Did you cvcf think what Il
large proportion ofthc Amer
ican people arc sick, or at
least If not exactly sick, arc
not wcll7 Something is the
matter all the time.
How many people Of your
personal acquaintance arc
constantly complaining Of
being $50 tired" having"s such
a headache" Of "not feeling
just right" and a thousand
and one other things, until it
almost seems as if the world
had become one huge hospi-
tai filled with incurablcs7
WHAT'S thc:causcofallt tl,is7
Certainly it is not a natural
condition, but on the contrary
is one that should occasion
much anxiety and alarm.
The American people arc
provcrbially in a hurry. They
cat in a 1lurry,work in a hurry,
and sleep in Il hurry, over
working and .overstraining
nature, and then wonder why
it is they don't feel well and
strong.
One Of the results Of the
American way Of "rusl,ing"
evcryt1ing.is the impoverisl,-
ing Of the blood, which fur
nisllcs the sincws of life. Not
being able to responded the
calls made on it, the blood
becomes thin and weak, and
losing its strength it soon
fails to accomplish the work
for which it is intended, and
disease in its varied forms is
the inevitable result.
As everybody knows, Iron
is one Of the most important
elements that enter into the
composition of the blood.
Just so long as there is plcn-
ty of Iron in the blood just
so long will it be healthy and
convey health and strength
to the whole body,
It is for this reason thai
the whole medical fraternity
has for years been cndcavor:
ing to discover some way ir
which Iron could be so pre-
pared that it could be easily
taken, and would thorough,
and quickly assin1ilate witt
the blood, and thus be dis
tributcd through the system
Every new discovery ha:
been hailcdwith delight, only
in a short time to be throw
aside because it would no
stand the test Of time.
After long and patient re
search, and careful and cost
ly experimenting, the Brow
CHEMICAL Co. discovered
method by which Iron coul'
be so prepared that it woul'
easily assimilatc with tt,
blood, and therefore act cI
fectually and quickly, and b
pleasant to take.

what they call the new rem
cdy, and before putting it Q
the market they thorough
tested its curativepowers, an

cess, have introduced tia

Rich Mans Code.

Yes, it is safe to say that the new
Code is against the laboring man every
time, from the juror all round, those
who work for a dollar a day. But.
when it comes to those who get s. and
$40 a day for easy services in cushion
ed chairs in fine apartments. it is as
liberal a book as we ever saw. The
three thousand five hundred dollars
which were thrown at Judge Campbell's
head (by a spendthrift Legislature) for
reading the proof-sheets and arranging
the chapters-a service which could
have been far better reformed by any
intelligent printer IN the State for
one hundred dollars-is very fair speci-
men of the whole thing, and a true
index of the Codes liberality with the
peoples money with a certain class,
and its desire to starve another class
out of the State .-Rdym0nd Gazette.

Pushing it On.

The gentleman who are construct
ing the Mississippi Valley and Ship
Island Railroad, seem determined
to push it forward with all possible
speed. The following from the
Commercial, indicates how the work
is progressing: a.aa
Of the Mississippi Valley and Ship
Island railroad there is a genuine rail
road "boom." Nine car loads of iron
went down yesterday and six more went
down to. day. The force at work now
on the road numbers something over
three hundred men. Track laying
commenced yesterday ard over a half
mile of iron was laid during the day;
two sets of track hands have been en-
ployed. The material for the complies
ton of the road across Big Black is all
on the ground. and will be placed in
position at once. The gague of this
road is the same as that of the Natchez
and jackson raod.

Just what we said last week.
It is now no longer Judge Campbelrs
suit, but the peoples suit to be prose-
cuted without fee, conditioned upon
Judge Campbell's indemnification as to
damages in tho event of IN adverse de-
cree, and Mr.. Ballou and others so un-
derstand it, and interest themselves in
their behalf and not in Judge Camp
bells.
9Th paragraph. Mr. Gross comes up
on the consolidating TO be a par
ty TO a general undertaking for indem-
nity. for an indefinite sum, but would
pledge fifty dollars to the object" To
what object? Not a fee, for none was
reoujred, but to indemnify" Judge
Campbell for damages should any ac-
crne, ;,
9Th paragraph. Judge Campbell
then told Mr.. Ballou to try Mr.. Gross's
plan. Make up so. 800 and pay it to
him, etc. After lsome effort, Mr.. Bal

failing in this compromised by paying
what he demanded,-$2 80, 500 to induce
him to withdraw his suit
That is what we said: bought him
off for the sum demanded of Mr.. Bal>
lou and others, on Mr.. Gross's plan.
Judge Campbell has gone, sold his
property and quit this tax cursed coun
ty, leaving to others his grantees, to-
day a tax, which said tax he has IN his
pocket. Here we rest the case, and
now that all the facts are known, if wa

him of any personal dishonor. We
leave it to our readers to determine
whether his conduct was such as ought

THE A REPLIES

Canton Mail.
The Treasurer of Madison County,
Mr.. S. M. Anderson, shipped per ex
press to New York last Monday, $1,000
in silver to pay the interest on the
Vicksburg and Canton Railroad Bonds
held by parties in that city. AS we
saw the bags of coin. borne on the
shoulders of three ableSbodied men,
carried into the Express office we could
but say, so much for nothing" Yes,
tw~euty-four ($2400) hundred dollars
of the poor peoples money gone to
swell the Golfers of the rich, and moth
ing of benefit to the taxpayer.
We were carried back to the days
when we made war upon this bogus
railroad project, and remembered our
advice to the people Of this county to
resist the issuance of bonds in its be-
half. We were reminded how a few
public spirited citizens-Judge j. A.
p. Campbell, now of the Supreme
Bench Of the State, among the number
came forward and enioined the fur,
Their issuance of said bonds, all for love
of their fellowecitizens. How Judge
Campbell furnished the legal talent
and obtained the injunction writ from
Chancellor Young and the alacrity and
chcerfulnesa with which his compa-
triots signed the indemnifying bond,
and how high public hopes ran for re-
demption and salvation from this ac-
cursed and unjust debt. We remem-
Der the cloud Of disappointment that
set itself upon the faces of our people
when they learned that Judge j, A. P.
Campbell had sold them out, and had
Withdrawn the Injunction in considera-
ton of g. 800 in filthy lucre to him in
hand paid by the projectors of the
(fraud) railroad?
These are facts sustained by record
and by living witnesses.
Every dollar of the money sent of
last Monday-every dollar that has
been sent, and vet to be sent, IS blood
money wrung from the hands and
hearts of the toiling, burdened taxpay
ers Of this county by the perfidity Of
their trusted attorney. It may be ar
Gued that Judge J. A. P. Campbell
was not a feed attorney; that his woll
vas voluntary; that he was one of the
conpIajnants to the cause, and had d
hight, legal and moral, to dismiss hi
own suit. lVe assert that he was {
paid attorney, and that his fee wa
more priceless than silver aud gold
the love and gratitude of his fellow
citizens, he having voluntarily Offered
to rescue them from their woe. He
agreed to perform the work without
fee in money, and was bound by hi
contract. Our people should loUe ant
respect him.

II ancient "Mother S%kipton," who,
as every one knows, prophesied, several
centuries ago, that the world would
end this year, were alive to-day, she
would no doubt recognize a c0ngenial
spirit in the person Of Miss Cornelia
Seibles, of Brookhaven, Miss. Miss
Seibies doesn't fortell a final disrup-
ton Of terrestrial affairs, but she pres
diets an occurrence equally dlsagreea~
bic. She says-aud says emphatleally
that there shall come to pass a grand,
awful upheaval and general chaotic in
termixture of all things political before
the 4tll of March; that Garfield will
never be in%augnrated, and that this
country will be ruled in future by a
King. Miss Selbles bases her pre-
diction upon a wonderful vision, which
appeared to her many years ago, the
particulars of which have repeated
iy gone the rounds of the papers. She
is firm in her convictions, and awaits
with calm confidence the alleged gov,
ernmenal change. If there is any pa
triotlsm lying around dormant in the
country, it should awake and prepare
for the emergency,-Ex.

The Scandal Against Col. Hooker.

We have read the speech made by
Col. Hooker, In Congress on the
10th and 18th of January. At the
time of its delivery the House had
under consideration the bill making
appropriations for the current and
contingent expenses of the Indian
Department, and for fulfilling trea.
ty stipulations with various Indian
tribes. The speech is an elaborate
argument against the useless squan-
dering of money for Indian inter
perters, and no one could have
made 1t unless possessed of all his
faculties. 1t was during the dcliv-
cry of the speech, which we regrel
we have not space to publish, that u
little paid whipper-snapper in a let
ter to the Globe Democrat and Phil
adelphia Times, said Col. Hooker
was Intoxicated. Speaking Of the
speech the Raymond Gazette says:
We have read closely the debates in
Congress on the 10th and 11th, days of
January, Cat which time the disgraceful
conduct is alleged to have taken place
and not one word said by Mr.. Hooker
could possibly have animated from IL
man unless he was duly sober. Until
there is better proof furnished than
the testimony of the Globe>Democra
of St, Louis. We are unwilling to en-
danger the character of a man who has
aver stood before the world as a gem
tleman.

The Lien Law.

The press of Alabama is making
quite a furious assault upon the crop
lien law of that State, and the in
dications are that it will be repealed in
toto at the earliest day possible. The
opponents of the law seem to rely upon
the following arguments;
l. 1t promotes aud encourages ex-
%travagance and thriftlessness, inducing
the farmer to squander the proceeds of
the crop of 1880, because he can read-
lily obtain advances for 1881,
2. 1t leads to fraud and swindling
by excluding older debts from any
share in the crop in the future.
3. 1t encourages men to run IN
debt.
4. 1t leads to speculative farming
on the part of men utterly ignorant OF
the business.
5. 1t deranges and unhinges all the
business of the State by substituting
the credit for the cash system. Every
merchant that fails has abundance OF
crop liens among his assets -Ex.

Cut this Out and Keep It.

Campbell's Code is a disgrace to
the State of Mississippi. Its laws
are IN the interest of the rich
against the poor. Its most infamous
section is the one providing that if
a party sells property without mott
flying the purchaser of all judgments
and other liens against him, he COM
mits a felony and subjects himself
to Imprisonment in the %penitentia-
ry. A writer in Copiah criticises
the section as follows:
The records we're created to give no
tlce of all liens. and for centuries in this
country and England the vendor was
under no obligation to disclose any lien
which was apparent on record. The
purchaser was bound by the record and
took the title subject to the lien. But
under the present code, if the vendor
in selling property forgets to mention
all the liens against him, he may be
sent to the penitentiary. This is harsh
aud cruel.

While There is Breath, Hope.

Wimberly, the Grand Mogul of
the Greenbackers, does not seem to
learn anything by experience. He
is looming for that party, when ey-
erybody else knows it is dead
deader than a door nail.i Wimberly
is irrepressible, and is going to run
the party whether anyone helps him
or not. Hear him:
At Jackson. on the 25th January, we
had the pleasure of being present at
the meeting of our State National
Greenback Executive Committee; every
thing considered, we had a fine turnout,
all parts of the State being represented,
the rag baby will grow and flourish
throughout the entire State this year.
A thorough organization was looked to,
and will be effected in every district,
county and beat in the State, and all
hands are called to work. The commits
tee is composed of honest, earnest,
thinking and working men, and they
are putting their shoulders to the wheel
with a vim and energy characteristic OF
the true patriot determined to strike
the shackies from his native land, and
a warm and aggressive war upon the
enslavers of our beloved country will be
waged during the coming canvass. The
battle cry will be down with all monop-
olies-a free ballot and a fair count.
