g0 EARTHLY GOOD.

The Spirit Of tue Times says:
There is no earthly good in keeping
up a discussion from the Depew
standpoint, as to whether johnson.
when President Of the United
States desired to be traitor or NJ.
He is dead and Grant is dead there
let them both rest. 1t is simply re
yiying memories not at al! necessary
and brings Grant before the public
in a manner not at all pleasant at
ter the universal sorrow expressed
at his death. Grant made no pub
Iication Of the matter in question
during his life, and we do not be-

An exchange speaking of millet
says, THAT it grows only in tenn
peratures where wine is made.
Wine can be made from certain
iinds OF grapes in very cold coun-
tries. Millet will grow in tenn pra-
lures that are to low for extensive
wine making. Millet is the staple
crop in the extreme northern part
Of China where it is as cold as
Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Hungarian grass belongs to the mil
let family, and that has been raised
successfully in northern New Eng
land. Mil!et is fine forage plant,
and grows on dry soils and in dry
climates, and it oughs to be good
forage plant here. It might pay
some Of our farmers to try it.

A diver who was trying to find

Cancer Cured.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old res
ident Of Walton county, aud y lady
of culture and prominence, has this
to say Of the treatment of cancer
with SwifI's Specific:
Over fifteen years ago a cancer
made its appearance on my face.
1t was treated with plasters, and
the corr came out. The place heal
ed up after some time and seeming
~ my face Was we'll. However, in
a few years it returned with more
violence than ever. 1t gave me a
great deal of pain. The former rem
edy seemed to do it no good.
Knowing the disease to run in the
family, having had one sister to die
with cancer, I became seriously ap
prehensive of virulence. l almost
gave up all hope of ever being Gu
red. The physicians. advised
the use Of the knife and
caustic but l refused to have
it operated upon in that way. all
other remedies were used, but the
cancer continued to grow worse.
The pain was excruciating, and my
life was q burden. In this extremi
ty my son, DR.. Hardmau: recon
mended me to try Swift's Specific.
1t was the last resort, but I was so
against the use of pa
tent medicines, and especially this
one, that I hesitated some time.
At last l gave my consent, not be
there was any virtue il it.
The first bottle only increased the
size of the sore and the discharge
from it, and hence did not inspire
me with any hope. On taking the
bottle there were signs 0fim

1t was u pebble as large az a robins
