of prairie will be broken at every point by the
vari-colored verdure of waving crops OF ce-
reals. The fact is pronounced one that OF
the eleven hundred thousand acres in Brown
county there are not three sections all told of
waste land, save such as is by the few beau
tiful lakes and streams OF sparkling waters.
We wish to call especial attention right
here to the fact that all of this immense tract
is government land, pure-for the settler,
for homestead, presumption and timber cul-
ture entry-that although this portion Of the
valley is gridironed with railway lines, there
are neither railroad grants nor will there
ever be any railroad bonds to Cypress the
taxpayer.
In addition to Aberdeen the principal bus
mess centers are Groton, Bath, Warner, Col

The chief question discussed WAS
whether TWO conventions should be
called, as has been formerly the
cus,om the first TO send delegates to
the National Convention and nomi-
nate Presidential Electors, and the
second to nominate candidate for
Governor, or whether but one csn-
ventiOn sheuld be held for both pur-
poses. 1t was feared that if the for
mer policy were pursued there would
be but a slim attendance at the first
convention, as the farmers would find
it difficult to leave home. On this
ana other grcunds, after considerable
/ discussion, it was determined TO call
/ only one convention to meet in this
city on June Is, at which time the
members Of the committee think there
will be one Of the largest political
gatherings ever held III NashviIla.
The following is The call.

Who is very extensively and favorably known

Slow action and uncertain effect have always
been the two great obstacles in the cure OF Blood
Diseases; but they have been overcome by the
use of b. B. B., which have used with signal
success for the cure of Scrofula, Kidney Affec-
lions, Skin Diseases, Syphilltic Complaints,
CGtarrh, etc.
It's action has been 90 direct and powerful
shat one single bottle has often effected an
entire cure. As an appetizer and general tonic
have never known It's equal. It is wen adapted
to the ScrofulOus Diathesis of infants, and does
not contain vegetable or mineral poison.
During practice Of IS years have never
used a blood remedy so speedy in action; as It
has proven to be a giant remedy of absolute
certainty, and CheerfuIly recommend 1t as

cures are too numerous and too glazing to ad-
