A Most Remarkable Case.

During the summer of 1884, sui.1 fering from blood poisoning, the re suit of gun shot wound received during the s'late unpleasantness," my attention was called to the rene. dy of s. s. $. through the public press, and l wrote to the proprietor| of that medicine, describing my case, which repeat for the benefit of Oth. CT sufferers. The ball struck the eI. bow joint and went through. rll| completely crushed all the articuls, tiye surface of the hnmeral so that both condyIes and say four inches of the shaft of the bone were removed by the surgeon. It also severed the ulnar nerve. The operation left the arm much shortened and timber, but it was very useful. Some time Tn the fall of 1879 it commenced to swell and infiame below the elbow, and soon alter 1t suppurated and dis. charged horribly offensive matter. The bone spread until the entire fore arm was putrid mass, encroachlDs both on the back and palm of the hand. l was warned by the surgeons that this might happen in after Ee from nerve and blood poverty below the elbow. My condition may be imagined at that time. The wound was so offensive that I could hardly remain in close room. l tired many remedies, external and inter nal, but to no avail. In June, 1884, I saw the advertisement of Swiit's Specific in the city papers, and l wrote immediately to the house in Atlanta, receiving the following as . reply: "We fear our $. $. s. will do you no good except as tonic." The very frankness of the reply induced me to try it. 1 was good patient and rigidly followed the directiosa The first bottle nearly drove me crazy with symptoms 1 cannot de- Scribe, but it (and l feel lump ln| my throat as l write it) entirely re. moved the frightiul smell which haa tormented me and all who came ID contact with mo for so long a tlme' As 1 continued the use of the med icine, say a month or SIX weeks marked improvement was apparenR until, as the winter set in, it had so healed that l could and dld wear sleeve on my underclotAing, which had not done in three years before.

Respectfully Declines.

Little Rock Gazette, 5Oth.
 Mir. John R. Johnson, who receiv- cd the Wheel nomination for repre- sentative from Prairie county, has published a letter in the Des Arc Citizen declining to make the race. He says man before the people for a political office must take stand with one of the recognized political parties; that as he is democrat and has always voted the democratic ticket, he sscannot now do otherwise and will not" Mir. Johnson adds
 ssNow, brethren, l know we have men in this county who care very little for us farmers or laboring peo pie, outside of self-interest, who are causing all this discord. Now. brethren, if the Wheel proposes to set down on me for acting from prin- ciple and sound judgment you have the privilege to do 50. Principle will always succeed. Johnson is not going back on the Wheel, or it's principles, but proposes to stand by them and the interest of farming and laboring people. The Wheel has gone back on itself. We did thing we now swear we will not stand to. and seem to blame me because ! desire to correct wrong that we all had hand m committing. In the outset we all said let the office seek the man and not the man the office And you took my name up and en- dorsed me for an office without any solicitation on my part. Now. breth- ren, ask you to point out one man Tn Arkansas who has done more for the Wheel than your humble serv- ant, or for the laboring people that live around me. 1 have no desire to represent this county outside of the will of the people. And upon mature deliberation must decline your offer"
 Mir. Johnson is a leading member of the Wheel, and one of the most zealous supporters of the cause of agriculture. But, like the great ma jority of his brother democratic Wheelers, he did not understand that he was expected to aid in break Ing up the democratic party for the benefit of democratic soreheads and republicans.

Co~operatiol,

EXTRACTS from the speech t.f the Hon.
Ralph Pllimb, OF Illinois; in the House
of Representatives Washington, June
11th 1886.
lr. Speaker: AM not Surrrl sed shat
the labor question should occupy so
large place in the public mind. The
agitation upon this subject is univer-
sal. Cooperation will secure to those
who labor under it, profits now enjoyed
by others, it will, moreover, tend to
fasten in the minds of all who particl-
pate il it, more accurate knowledge Of
business, and higher ideas of individu-
al responsibility. 1t is in the power OF
labor through cooperation to make
capital its servant The poorest born
of all who toll have right I'd more
than will keep them from the poor
house The TRUE knights 1T labor ask
for nc special privileges: fair deal is
all he wants. He wants less Of hon
eyed phrases and more legislation in
the Interests Of the whole people. He
wants an ample currency of gold, sill
Yer and treasury notes issued by the
Government. He wants of internal
Improvement that shall serve the in
terests Of agriculture; manufactures
and commerce. He asks that we
build our own ships in our own work
shops. He asks that law and order be
maintained; he has no sympathy with
the incendiary, the dynamiter, nor the
communists. He claims that labor has
as good q, right to be organized Under
law as capital. Labor produces all the
wealth that exists; with intelligence
the labcrer will WELD it for his own
advancement, and the Happiness of all.
Sir, look upon the organization Of
labor with intense interest. 1t has
come TO lead the nation in that great
step in the onward march, to a higher
and better civilization. A fear full re-
sponsibility rests upon the leaders of
the movement: they need wisdom and
forbeatance; they must have unfalter-
ing devotion to principal; and with
these qualities the struggle will not be
long contlnued, nor the victory uncer-
tain. National View. Every word OF
the above extracts and the whole speech
applies to the farmers and their cooper
alton through organized bodies. Labor
must be crowned King of the Earth;
and money, which is It's handiwork: be
made It's faithful servant.

Why Is 1t?

Whli it, that some pieces OF grain
are somuch better than others close
by This is good time for farmers
to inquire into the cause, and see if we
cannot ascertain how every farmer
mayhave as good grain as any other.
Thee is vast difference IN the fields
of4rain in this country. even in close
~ ,ljoinlng pieces: and why not all
faise like the best2 Can it be impos-
sible9 IT must he on account Of good
or bad tilling OF the ground, and per-
haps partly on account OF the quality
at the seed This is the time for farm
ers to inveEtignte this matter. 1t does
not pay to >aise half a crop, when a
whole or gtpd crop could be grown on
the same laid. 1t is an injury to the
name or credit Of any country to have
SO much pcpr farming, and half har-
rowing OF the land: Look at the crops
on the landthat was plowed deep, and
narrowed oI otherwise pulverizeu WE'LL
and had gOid seed well put in On it.,
and tell y Iur neighbors whether it
pays or not Fall plow your ground if
you can, anil do it we'll. From one to
two acres dday is enough for two good
horses to p|ow. Three horses on a
plow is better, and then from one and
a half to tto and a half acres is good
average ddYs plowing. An acre I'd an
acre and a|half is good days work for
a heavy ylke of oxen; Or two yoke Of
light oSe4 on crossing plow, stirring,
crossing Or backsettihg. Backsetting
should bda a little deeper than breaking,
and the Iext plowing little deeper
than the |backsetting. There is not a
farm in terauld Co. which will not
prodnce|a IA good crop, if the ground is
plowel Reep, well pulverized, and the
seed ct food quality, and well harr5w-
ed into the ground in any reasonable
time ofthe season. We must ploW
deep id this soil; the harder the SOL
the deeper it needs loosening Up.
