The United States an Anti-LiquOr
Nation.

Maine has a prohibitory law.
Kansas and Iowa have prohibitory
amendments to their contributions.
Ia Connecticut, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Texas, Nebraska, Indiana,
Michigan, and perhaps other States,
amendments will probably be sub
mitted to the people next winter,
or very soon. In>nearly every 9TH
er State in the Union, the temper
ance people are clamoring for pro-
hibitory amendments, and expect
ing soon to have them. A new
National Prohibition Party was
organized lately in Chicago. Many
of.oul-foremost men and leading
political papers are Endorsing pro
hibition The Republican party
of the North is, in general, falling
in with the measure, and likewise
the Democratic party of the South,
The Greenback party, as a whole,
is in favor of it. Judging the fu-
ture by the past, there is no doubt
that the traffic in intoxicating
beverages will be entirely prohib-
tied throughout the United States,
in very few years.-OIipe Branch.

Unfortunates who are seeking to re.
new their health are many. So often
have they been deceived 10y the adyer-
tisements of worthless compounds that
many are discouraged, and refuse to be.
lieve anythi they read in the parers.
Therefore, the best advertisement OF Il
really good medicine is the reputation
it has gained in places where it il being
sold. No other remedy ever discovered
has grown SO rapidly in public favor as
that true medicinal tonic called Browns
Iron Bitt'rlL In localities where its
extraordinary merits have become fully
known and realized by those who have
been in ill-health, the sale is unprece-
dented. One druggist in our city re-
ports the sale of 23S bottles in one week.
1t is, indeed, a wonderful, health-giving,
hte-saving preparation. 1t is soothing
and refreshing in its effect, and rength-
ems every part OF the body, and creates
healthy appetite and digestion, even
when the system is almost destroyed by
the many hurtfnl cathartics SO common
lyuscd. Reader, beware! duty demands

A Serious Accident.

We regret to be obliged to announce &
very painful and serious accident which
happened yesterday afternoon to Mr.
VIM. Anderson, while engaged in the
burial In the old cemetery, OF the colored
boy who Was accidentally killed Mt the

found in another column. From Mr.. An
derson's account OF the mshap, given
after he had returned from the graveyard,
II seems that while preparations were be-
ing made Tor lowering the coffin in the
grave, or while II was being lowered, he

MATRIMONIAL INSURANCE.

The Atlanta Constitution has very severe
article on what it dsnominates Matrimonial
Insurance Swindles," which, it Gays, shave in
the last few months been driven out of sew
eral Northern and Western States, including
even New Jersey, but they have taken up
their abode in the South, and now have foot
holds in Louisians, Mississippi, Alabama
Georgia and the Carolinas, and even in Ten
nessee." "The nature of the swindle," says
the Constellation, "was promptly exposed in
Pennsylvania, where the insurance commits
sioner denounced them" They have also
been vigorously denounced by the insurance
commissioner of Michigan. Judge Hender-
son, of Pennsylvania, refusing a charter
for one of these societies, said: 3They are
not calculated to inspire confidence in the
relation. Its purity is the rockbed
of society. A premium upon marriage may
be the price of virtue. Neither the wants of
the good of society, or the well
fare of the individual require any such or
carnations. On the contrary, we believe
that in the end they will prove subversive of
virtue and good morals" There are several
of these matrimonial societies in this vicinity
which, SO far, seem to be the reverse OF
swindles. They are conducted and managed
by responsible citizens, in whom the public
have confidence, and have met all their obli-
cations promptly. But perhaps there is some
thing radically wrong in the system.
