The Atlanta sConstIution has Joined
the crusade against old bachelors, and
urges the Georgia Legislature to tax
them in the following strong argument
.The number Of old bachelors is increas-
ing in every community. They try to be
very CAV and frivolous, and are anxious to
leave an impression that they are happy,
but they cannot conceal the fact that they
are bald d.headed and thin.legged. Married
men in certain cases made and provided
have perfect right to be bald. headed and
thin-legged; but bald-headed and thin
legged Old bachelor is q standing insult TO
the community in which he lives. "What
right has he to be bald headed and thin-legg1
ed? Whatright has he to pretend to be com,
Portable and to assume all the privileges oi
citizenship, when he has evaded the first
and most important duty of a. citizen?
Let the bill to tax them be hurried forward
in its passage. The times are ripe for it."
We believe in fair play, and it does
not strike us that such bill should
be passed without inserting proyiso,
that if the bachelor in question could
show coDclusiyely that he had conrted
two or more girls at some time in his life
he should be exempt from such taxation
In all matters of government fines, taxes
and penalties should be equal, and upon
this principle if the bachelor tax passes
would it not be right to impose similar
tax upon all ladies who remain unmar
ried after they arrive at. the age OF thirty
EyeaTsf Here again we think the lady
should be exempt from taxation by show
ing clearly that she was never invited tt
marry any man. This, however, is dis
cussing an impossible condition of things
for We believe that by the universal con
sent Of all mankind TO which the mem
ory Of man runneth not to the contrary
no unmarried lady is ever more thar
thirty years of age, and therefore if sucl
q Law we're passed there would be no per
sons against whom it could be enforced

A Little Gold was Spent.

Mr.. q. A. Clark, of Atlanta, Ga, in
speaking of $aSO.00 in gold, desil es to say
to the readers of this paper, that the
whole of the above amount was spent in
a fruitless effort in finding relief from a
terrible Blood; Poison affecting his body,
limbs and nose-p presenting ugly running
ulcers. He Is now sound and well, hav.
ing been cured by the most speedy and
wonderful remedy ever before known,
and any interested party who may need
Blood purifier will learn from him that
three bottles of B. B. B. restored his
appetite, healed all ulcers, relieved his
kidneys, and added twenty one pounds TO
his weight In thirty days.
The best medical authorities acknowl-
edge the great value of Ayers Cathartic
Pills, and frequently prescribe their use
with the utmost confidence, well know
ing that they are the most effectual reme'
dv ever devised for diseases caused by de.
rangements Of the stomach, liver and
bowels.
Do YOU wish beautiful complexion?
Then use Ayers Sarsaparilla: It cleanses
and puriies the blood, and thereby re-
moves blotches and plmples from the
skin. making it smooth and clear, and
giving it bright and healthy appearance.

The Stock ShoR to be held at Pendle-
ton on the eighth Of Octobernext, was an
assured success as soon as the determine.
Ition of the Pendleton Farmers Club to
hold it was announced. There is no
part of the State which has as great q
isyariety and as much high bred cattle
and stock as Pendleton and its vicinity.
THIS has led this society to offer a prize
OF; one hundred dollars fora lot Of ten
|icolts ofaany strain under three years fold
raised in the State. The colts from old
Pendleton District, which now comprises
Anderson, p Pickens and Oconee Counties,
are to compete against the balance Of
the State, and it's confidently expected
that ten colts will be secured from these
three Counties which will excel any ten
colts from the exhibit from the balance
of: the State. Not only is the stock show
q success, but the new feature of, an
auction sale bids fair to be one Of the
most attractive features of the exhibit.
Over Eve thousand dollars worth of reg
istered and blooded stock has already
been assigned for unconditional sale.
This will attract quite crowd of visitors
from all parts of the State. and prove
one Of most important departures that
has been made by our agricultural gath
erings in this State twill encourage
the raising; ;of fine stock, and by the dis.
semination Of choice animals from ppr-
cbases at these sales nil dola great deal
in . practical way to improve the stock
/ Of the State. The members of the Pen
dleton Farmers Club are to be congratu-
lated upon their energy and enterprise
in instituting these exhibits and sales,
which are destined toework so much
good in our State. Every man who at
tends the exhibit will want a fine COW,
and will feel disposed to try raising 9
colt. There is more money in this than
in raising cotton, and the movers in
these shows, who thus promote a diyersi-
Ity of farm industry, will be benefactors
