An Arkansas Traveller.

Last Spring one of the first emigrants
from this County was an old colored man,
named Adam Guyton, from the Brushy
Creek Township of the County, who is
about fifty. five years Of age, and he has
come back thoroughly disgusted with
Arkansas. He went out in the party with
Joe Lee, Nose Lee, Jehu Thomas and
Others, and settled about one hundred
miles from Little Rock. All of the party
settled as farm laborers except Jehu
Thomas, who organized the party, and
he SAYS taught school until the sickly
season, and then left them. The country
is low swamp, in which the health is
said to be healthy until Summer, when
chills and fevers rage with destroying
violence. The water, he says, is foul and
bad tasted. They are paid seventy-five
cents per day for wages when they 90 day
work, but are required to board them
selves, and buy from the man they work
with. The most Of them, however, are
paid part of the crop. He says they
are charged Is cents pound for bacon,
when the stores sell 1t for II cents; SLID
for meal, which sells at IS cents. and other
articles in proportion. He says hands
are called to work by bell, and that they
are pushed by an overseer on horseback
all day long. He states that hands here
do not know what work is, and says he
has come back to stay in this country.
He says of the party of thirty. men and
women who went out with him, about
half are dead, and that nearly all of the
children in the party have died. He ad-
vises all who think Of going to Arkansas
to live to abandon it at once. He gives
terrible accounts Of the want privation
and utter destitution Of the poor, deluded
negroes who go out there. All who con-
template going should see and talk with
him. He is now living in Brushy Creek
Township in this County.

WEruMpKA, Ala, Sept. %, 1884
About six years ago I became afflicted
with very disagreeable skin disease.
with large, dry sores and many crusted
pimples on my face, hands and shoulder.
The sore on my shoulder eat out a hole
nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous
appearance of one Of the sores near my
eye alarmed me very much. I tried all
kinds of treatment, but found nothing
that seemed to affect the disease final
ly decided to try S. S. S. on advice of a
physician, and in short time the scabs
dropped from the sores and left my skin
smooth and we'll. I consider S. S. S. the
greatest blood medicine made, and the
only thing that will cure the disease with
which was afflicted. think my trouble
was the result of terrible attack of ma
larial fever, contracted while farming in
the Tallapoosa river swamp. can be
found at my Office in the court house at

sThose Who Live in Glass Houses Should

It is amusing to see how tender-footed
Gel tain blood remedy proprietors have
become of late. They make much ado
about "apes and imitators," when none
are in sight.
The proprietors of B. B. b. would say
stands upon its own merit. Should we
attempt to initiate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus oper-
andi of that which they offer. Our own
long experience in the profession pre-
cludes such an idea. The field for blood
remedies is large and broad affording
ample room for all present aapirants. We
do not desire to close the door against
others, neither shall it be closed against
us. B. B. B. is the quickest remedy,
does not contain mineral or vegetable
poison, does not initiate, and is in the field
as an honorable competitor for public
favor. AZ
