Poison

In the blood will nearly always show
itself in the spring. If 1t does not come
in the shape Of blotches, pimples, erup-
tions, etc, it causes a dull and heavy
feeling, indisposition to exertion, loss
of appetite, aud general letting down
of the system. Nature at this juncture
requires some assistance to help throw
off this poison and clean up the organ
ism for the trying summer weather.
For this there is nothing better than
|SwIFT's SPECIFIC.
Letters from twenty-three (23) of the
leading retail druggists of Atlanta, say
under date March "a, 1894 "We sell
more of Swift's Specific than any other
one remedy, and three to ten times as
much az any other blood medicine. We
sell it to all classes, and many of the
best families use it as a general health
tonic" Treatise on Blood and Skin

Hama and Had.

tt has been the fashion to eparate
hand work from head work, as If the
two were Incompatible One was for Ia
borers and mechanics the OF er for pro
fessional and literary people one was
for the poor, the oihe. for the rich. Hut
WI are gradually l-"rning that their
harmonious union j. the only means o'
the perfection of either. Rnskin truly
says We want one man to be al
ways thinking, and another to De al
ways working, and we call one u gem
tleman and the other an operator
whereas the workman ought often to
be thinking and the the thinker often
to be working. and both should be gen,
tlemen in the best sense. Tue mass OF
society is made up of morbid thinkers
and miserable workers. 1t is only by
laborthat thought can be made healthy,
and only by thought that labor can be
made happy, and the two cannot be
sc parated with impnnity.'

Indignation at being abandoned by the
English Government and announcing
determination to act henceforth with

deserted him--as was stated this morn
ing in the Cairo correspondence of the

The Telephone.

There Is considerable room for i'm.
provement in the telephone service in
this city. Frequently, when persons
are in a hurry, they will have to stand
at the phone for five or eight minutes
ringing and shouting before an answer
can be Obtained from the exchange ;
aud when com munication Is at last
esta blished, the subscriber ID lucky II
he is not "cut off" two or three times
hafore he has finished what he wishes
to say. A case in point occurred the
other day, which Is but a sample OF the
inconvenience and annoyance to which
subscribers are often times subjected ~.
A gentleman called the REPUBLICAN
office, and upon member Of the staff
answering the call, commenced con
versation, which had not been con.
tinued more than q minute when he
was cut off. In few seconds mmu-
nication was again established, and AZ
the one who was talking was not aware
that he had been shut off, he had con.
tinued to speak, consequently the sense
of his conversation was lost. This
happened three times before the con
versation was finished, and is, to say
the least. very annoying. There Is
fault somewhere that should be rene
