Intemperance cuts down youth

gout, welcomes epidemics, invites

land with idleuess, misery and
crime. 1t produces controversies,

crowds our penitentiaries and fur

Alcohol is the blood of the gambler,
the inspiration OF the burglar, the
stimulus of the highwayman, and |
the support of the midnight incen-

1t Is Encouraging.

The awakening interest in our
new railroad from Milan to Rome
is full of promise. 1t cannot fail
ulti uately, for the necessity for and
adva utages of such a direct route
are too patent to be rejected. We
believe we are correct in the opin-
ion that if the Illinois Central
builds this road it will find it of
more Importance and more profita-
BILE than its present main stem. 1t
will be q grand trunk direct line
between the great north western
cities and the south Atlantic sea-
board-the first of its kind and
without a rival. The trade between
the rich cotton plantations and the
growing manufacturing enterprises
of Georgia and the southwestern
states and the great trade and grain
centers. of the northwest is prac-
tically barred because of the indi-
rectness OF communication. This
shoots straight from one to the 9th
er and it will be the means of Gre
atiDg a new trade. The effort to
make Brunswick the terminus of a
line of steamships will be certainly
accomplished, and if this road is
built it will give the northwest q
straight competing line to Europe
for grain. These things are so ap
parent to a man who inspects the
map and knows anything of the
products of the country that argu-
ment is superfuous.
Whenever the matter is given
shape, we pledge Giles county and
Pulaski to do their part. The peo-
pie along the line are clamorous for
it and they are holding up their
hands with the money fiuttering in
them.

The gamblers and sporting fra

frightened. They have received
warning from the mob to close their
houses and get out of the city. Sun

lupanars and other houses Of i'll re-

doors and with turned down lights.
No one was admitted. The frail

Spring Hill, Texas.

R. j. Anderson, jr., one of Giles
boys, was in our midst few days
since. He has been in Texas about
three months, is doing well, and ex-
presses himself well pleased with
the people and the country general
ly, but there is particular cord
that binds him to his native
state. He is located at Purdon, Ne
varro county, Texas. There are but
few Giles countians in this part of
the state, it being settled by Maury
countians. 1t may be Of interest
to some of your many readers to
know where Spring Hill is situated.
1t is in the western part of Nevarro
county, off the T. d st. FL. r. R.
about 81 miles and 20 miles west
of Corsicana, SO miles east of Waco,
and is surrounded by one of the
best farming countries in the state.
The land being sandy makes it
very desirable for farming pur-
poses. 1t is entirely a farming
country now, the cattle men having
gone further west in search of range
for their innumerable herds of cat
tie. We have one store of general
merchandise, one church, one black
smith shop, one school, grange in
full blast, and one doctor, who is
not getting much practice on ac-
count of the healthful condition
of the people. ToNY.

In California they are beginning
to plant mulberry trees around the
school houses, so that the teachers
may be able to supplement their
salaries by raising silk worms dur
ing vacation. The Silk Worm So
ciety of Philadelphia suggested a
similar policy in Philadelphia, as
this seems to be the only chance of
raising the starvation wages of our
school teachers.

One of the causes of Mr.. Sargent's s
unpopularity at Berlin is said to
have been his difficulty in address

state debts are paid, and read upon
his card the title Of staatschalden-
zablungscassebuchhalter, the poor
man lost his equanimity altogether.

Attention, Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life Of the
average physician is hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for a merely nom
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
" Ills Of Life," and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
