NIPPED IN THE BUD.

For eleven, years | have suffered
from a cancerous sore on my tboat.
AT times it became very angry in
appearance, dlscharging large guam
titles of matter and giving me in
tense pain. | used the ordinary
household remedies only, and it
would dry up and a scab would
form over it, then it would increase
in size again and trouble me greatly
aud finally break and discharge
freely, Thus for years it has beer
annoying me. A cancer doctor IL
Atlanta decided it was q cancer, anO
wanted TO cut it out. / could MOI
muster courage to let him use The
knife on my throat. About thai
time | saw the advertisement o
Switt's Specific, and the statement
of some one suffering like myself. J
determined to try it, and in May
1884, | commenced its use. My gen
eral health began to improve from
the first. | was unable to eat any
thing scarcely, and became quite
feeble but my appetite increased
aud | can eat anything now. The
sore has healed up and l am in per
feet health. The only sign is a sma.
red spot about the size OF a pea, bu
it gives me no pain. Ar sure tina
a few bottles more will even re
move that. 1t has done more TO
me than all other remedies used. y

THE SKIN.
ITS DISEASES AND CURE.

This class of troublesome com
plants embraces a large list, some
OF which sfnict nearly every family
in the land. Heretofore the treat
ment Of nearly all these diseases has
been very unsatisfactory and unsuc-
:%essfni, and the people have been
very much deceived by pretended
remedies. A majority sre caused
by an impure, vitiated condition u
the blood, and as most of the blood
remedies Of the day require % to
100 bottles before you discover that
they will not effect a cure, We offer
B. b. B., which makes positive cures
by the use Of only a lew bottles.
The most common of the skin dis.
eases which are cured by the use OF

4 Rcminisccnce Of the 10Th of Sep
tembeT, 1858.

When Gen. John r. Jackson $
brigade advanced on the morning
of the l9,h of September, 1868,
to attack the enemy in position
at Chickamauga, the 9Th ca. rpqi-
ment bore an honorable part in
that onset. In ten minutes after
the fight had opened, Capt. john
A. Fulton, commanding the Daw-
son Volunteers, was shot in the
leg and severely wounded, and
was obliged to leave the field.
On his way to the rear he met
the gallant Sid Cheatham with
sword III hand endeayoring to
rally the strugglers in the rear
who were endeavoring to protect
themselves from the heavy fire in
front by "skulking" as far from
danger as possible. Adjutart
Cheatham, by his persr asions, di}
much to bring up the ''runaways,'
though all that time he was ex-
posed to imminent danger of his
life from tie balls Of the enemy,
many of which passed over our
line of battle, but which were de-
structive to life and limb in the
rear. Capt. Fulton is with us
still to gladden. his old comladea
and friends with his presence
while the body Of the gallant Sid
Cheatham rests in an Eonored
soldiers grave in our city.

The JOURNAL wondered last
week how country stores could
sell goods as cheap as merchants
IN town. 1t is easily told. They
bay as cheap as town merchants,
have 10 house rent or clerk hire
to pay, and no city tax. Then,
The hauling Of goods costs them
very little, as they own teams of
their own, and last Of all country
merchants are not so extravagant
as town merchants and are salts
fed with small profit, and there
fore can sell cheaper.

A Mystery.

How the humanI svstem ever RECEIVERS
from the bad effects of the nauseous med
icines often literally poured int it for
the sapngsitive relief of dyspepsia, liver
complaint, constipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is Il mystery. The mis-
chief done by bad medicines is scarcely
less than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, consti-
pated or rheumatic, would oftener he gui-
ded by the experience of invalids who
have thoroughly tested Hostetter's sto.
mach Bitters, they would in every in
stance obtain the speediest aid derivable
from rational meditation. This medicine
is a searching and at the same time tho
roughly safe remedy, derived from vege-
table sources, and possessing, in conse'
quence of its basis of pure spirits, proper
ties as medicinal stimulant not to be
found in the fiery local bitters and stimu,
lants often resorted to blythe dcbilltated,
dyspeptic and langnid.

To the Democratic voters of Rapi-
DIES Parish:
The Executive Committee of the
Democratic party Of Rapides in max
ing a call for a convention of the
Democrats Of the Parish deem it
their duty to state briefly the causes
which have led to this unusual &C
ton.
At a meeting of the Executive
Committee on July 10Th, for the pnr-
pose of determining the time and
manner of selecting delegates to the
Congressional Convention to be held
in Shreveport on August 3rd, reso-
luton was adopted to the effect that
primary elections should he held in
each ward to select delegates to a
convention to be held in Alexandra
on July 2sth.
In pursuance of this resolution,
elections were held in the several
wards, and the Convention met al
the time and place designated.
The Convention was organized and
proceeded to its legitimate work and
elected delegates to the Congressio'
nal Convention. When this had beer
done the work of the Convention was
complete, as they had done what
they were delegated to do. Bu1
without notice a resolution was
offered to reorganize the party am
appoint new Central Committee
which was unprecedented and un
warranted.
1t is the unwritten law of thu
party, sanctioned by long usage ant
custom, both national state and paro
chial, that committee shall be ap
pointed proceeding the general cleo
ton, which has always been done il
this Parish, with one single and no
table exception. and that is in the ap
pointment of the present Executi~
Committee, which was done by III
resignation, and at the request of TIL
Central Committee of one wing 0
