High water as well as other I'M
avoidable circumstances have pre-
ven ted my. appearance in the CITI-
ZEN SO often. l sometimes think
that l am losing my interest in
that direction but l am unwilling
to deprive myself of a privilege
that affords me real pleasure. Near
ly six years have been added to my
days since wrote my first letter to
the CITIZEN. Poor as it was,
didn't regret it. The public is full
ly aware of my feeble effort in that
direction since that time, and l

that proved such a source of men

Grammatical Nonsense Exemulifed,

Smartie! yesterday and to-day
constitute a period of time which is
present.--CITIZEN.
II yesterday and to-day is present.
then "to-day and tomorrow" is pres
ent. Ergo yesterday and tomorrow
is present. Probably our contempOra-
ry adopts the theory that there is no
past nor future, and that yesterday
to day and forever is but the ever
present now. With this conception OF
time we may safely assume that the IL
limitable McCord is to-day INDUCING
the synchronous felicity of a day before
yesterdays nap on some fine large
morning in the middle OF next week.

Hoist by your own petard, by
sheeminy! See above "there is no
past nor future" If you had spo-
ken with the same accuracy you de-
mand of US you would have said
"there was no past and will
be no future but you, like
the CITIZEN, were speaking OF
the period of time which was
present, though embracing both
past and future, and hence the pres
ent tense was proper. If the astute

Things Worth Forgetting

Ben Butler says he's out of poll
tics. John Sherman dotted his
shirt and said decent word on the
4th. Murat Halstead is running
republicans by abuse over into the
temperance party. The world
didn't tip up when Conkling step
ped on the other continent. The
New England poets are swarming
and the big papers are having their
waste baskets enlarged. John
Roach got enough to do him before
the democrats got IN. John Little
ton Joined the show after the sea-
sou was over. Gen. jackson had
the old fogy idea that the party in
power was entitled to the offices.
The Virginia bond holder Likewise
kicketh alsoly. There's a man in
this town who hasn't applied for
Office. Jefferson and Adams died
on the 4th-why couldn't Hayes?
Many buy Miss Cleveland's book
who don't know George Eliot's sex
nor how to pronounce it's name.
Go and get your office; now's your
chance; these are dog days. Tai
mage is gone but his sermons go
marching On.

Republicans are Responsible.

Republican papers are raising a
loud cry for the return of the g. O.
p. to power to relieve the hard
times. They say there was never
known such severe financial depres-
sion and they attribute it to the ad-
vent to power of the democratic
party. The truth is, the republican
party had run this government to
the very ragged edge of frightful
ruin and we are now experiencing
the effects of their Encouragement
and maladministration The demo-
Gratis have not had single chance
to legisiate even one single line.
One man, the president, cannot in
four months stem the tide of ruin
and robbery. 1t will be done
though. Mark it! The democrats
are not in the remotest degree re-
sponsible for the present depression,

Cure For y lies,

PILES are freq uently preceded by
a sense of weightin the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affec :
ton of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
ton are present, as Aatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing veryNis-
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is very common attendant. Blind,

Smart John Littleton,

John J. Littleton is smart. He
said that such democrats as Colyar,
Doak, Jackson, Porter, ct I'd, were
as good republicans as anybody,
believing in AID. urging every thing
that republicans believe and urge,
and he issued a long and Winsome
invitation to them to threw off pre-
tense and come squarely over into
the g. 0. p. Of course this is all
unadultered monkey and slibber-
slabbering bosh, but John knew
that the durndest fools in both fac
tions of the democratic party would
seize on it and talk about it and it
would have the effect to wi
den the breech and make men mad
der. Jno. j. Littleton is aware that
John j. Vertrees is laboring hard
to split the democratic party from
stem to stern, and between the
two John Us it looks as if it would
be done. There are enough patri-
OTIS and sensible men left yet to res
cue the party, we hope.

Ed. Shaw the Last Democratic Test.


Senator Harris is reported as
favering the appointment of Ed
Shaw, the Memphis negro plug, to
the surveyorship at Memphis and
the papers are condemning and de-
Tending him at a lively rate. The
American, ready to perpetrate or
ratify any kind of rank and rabid
partisanry that smells rancid, de-
tends Senator Harris. We can't
see much democracy in this, but if
a man dare to say that Senator Har-
ris's intention in this matter was
not a heaven-born democratic in
SEPARATION, he'd get his political tail
twisted out by the roots and whip
ped with it until he ran over into
the independent camp. The
American seems to be hired by the
republicans to disgust democrats
and abuse them out of the party.
This Ed Shaw was a dirty deadbeat
republican until 1882 when he saw
the chance to make something by
pretending to be a democrat. His
sort stuck to and assisted the thiev-
ing carpet-baggers as long as there
was plumber in sight and they
should be compelled now to stand
back. This fight was not made and
this victory was not won for Ed.
Shaw's sort. If there's treason in
this, make the most of it. We'd
rather be decent than to own forty
parties, and we know we speak the
opinion of all decent democrats
who are not afraid to speak out
what they think whether it pleases
the bosses or not.

The Day We Celebrate.

Americans abroad are more en-
thusiastic celebrants of the 4th than
Americans at home. The decline
of noise and glamour that were once
incidents does not indicate a de-
cline of patriotism. To all intents
and purposes the day is celebrated
as earnestly as it ever was. The
men who used to touch off anvils
and shout themselves hoarse now
satisfy themselves with a satisfying
contemplation of liberty and free
dom, and the reason they do not in
dulge i'll all the hilariousness of old
times is that they feel now that lib
erty is so firmly established and
men are SO utterly loyal that it
takes no excitement to keep up our
courage. AS far as this part OF
Uncle Sans domain is concerned.
this people did their utmost, almost
to a man, to smash the government.
We got smashed ourselves and we
accept the result as a final and IRE
pealable establishment of the divin e
origination of the 4th, and on the
4th of July, 1876, we of Giles met
almost to a man in the woods at
Wales and reconsecrated ourselves
to freedom and union and reasserted
our devotion to the principles i'm
piled IN the celebration of the 4th.
We considered that final, and now
on each recurring 4th, like the man
who had his evening prayer written
out and pasted on his bed post and
pointed to it as he retired and told
the Lord that they were his senti-
ments, we point to the great day at
Wales in 1875 and advertise to the
world that we expressed then our
sincere sentiments of loyalty, and
by them we propose to live and die.

Typhoid Fever.

am siXty-seven years old, and have
lived ia this (HalD county all my life
l was regarded as the strongest man in
the neighbOrhOod-the most robust in
health. In November, 1856, l had q
long and serious spell OF typhoid fever.
1t left me emaciated and cripple in
my right leg. At times that limb was
swollen to an enormous size, being twice
as large as its natural condition, and in
famed and angry in appearance. From
my knee down small sores came, and at
the ankle a large ulcer came, which
discharged poisonous matter. My
whole system became infected. The
doctors would patch me up for awhile,
but the ulcer would never heal. The
mercury and IpOtash with which they
dosed me brought on rheumatism and
dyspepsia. l was an object of pity to
all my friends. Some thought that the
only hope to save life was amputatioD.
l continued to grow worse and for
three years L have not worn a shoe,
Hope had almost left me. Swift's
Specific was suggested, and l COM
menced its use at once. From the very
first began to feel better. l have ia
ken thirty-six bottles, and the shadows
which had darkened my life for TWEEN
ty-elght years nave all Deen OlsSlpaIeu
The effect of the medicine has been
wonderful indeed. To-day l am able
to attend to all my farming interests,
and walk from one to five miles per
day. / am satisfied that the disease is
entirely broken up, and henceforth l
am to be free from those terrible appre-
tensions and suffering which formerly
made this life miserable. SwIft's Spe-
cific has done more for me in one year
than all the drug store medicines pre-
scribed by physicians did in twenty
eight years, and most cheerfully bear
this testimony of it merits.
