Nipped In The Bud.

For eleven years / have suffered
from cancerous sore in my throat
AT times it became very angry in ap-
pearance, discharging large quanti-
ties of matter and giving me intense
pain. / used the ordinary household
remedies only, and il would dry up
and scab would form over il, then
it would increase in size again and
troubled me greatly, and finally
break and discharge freely. Thus
for years 1t has been annoying me. A
cancer doctor at Atlanta decided il
was cancer, and wanted to cut il
out. l could not muster courage TO
let him use the knife on my throat.
About that time l saw the advertise
ment ofSwift's Specific, and the state.
ment of some one suffering like my.
self. ] determined to try it, and in
May, 1884, 1 commenced its use. My
general health began to improve from
the first. l was unable to eat any.
thing scarcely, and became quito fec
BILE; but my appetite increased, and
can eat anything now. The sore
has healed up, and l am in perfect
health. The only sign is small red
spot about the size of pea, but il
gives me no pain. Am sure that 9
few bottles more will even remove
that. 1t has done more for me thar
all other remedies used.

The Last Rally.
[By NJ Quad.

"He Will pass away before morn
ing"
So said the doctor TO the nurse as
he passed out of the room and down
the stairs, perhaps having a bit of
sadness in his heart-perhaps dis
missing the matter from his mind as
if the death Of human being was of
no consequence to him or the world
at large. Perhaps IL was not. Why
should one be startled when an old
soldier-a man of toilsome marches
and many battles is about to pass
away? lie must die, like the rest of
us.
The nurse was an old comrade.
While the dying man beat the rally
on his drum as Casey was hurled
back at Fair Oaks, the nurse swung
his hat and shouted TO the men hur-
rying to the rear:
"Come back, comrades, come back
Let us form a line. here and beat
them back p
When the drummer beat the adj
vance on the right at Antietam, and
Joe Hooker's front pushed boldly in
to meet Stonewall Jackson men, the
nurse was in the foremost rank, his
teeth hard shut and his eyes blazing
fire.
"R-r-r-r-a-t-tat! tatw sounded
the drum in the streets of quaint old
Fredericksburg, and the nurse was
there to face the terrible Stonewall
and to be driven back by the mur-
derous fire.
"Tat! tat! Tatl tail R-r-r-tat! |!
tat" sounded the drum at Gettys-
burg, as Pickelt's Vlrginians massed
on Hancock's front; and the nurse
was there TO help stem that mad tor
rent Of war and hurl the shattered
legions back to the cover of ridge
and wood.
Shell and shot and bullet had pass
ed them by, but now there was to be
battle with a grim and silent ene-
my. His forces were hidden in the
darkness. There was no rattle of
small arms--no roar of artillery-no
shouts from lines of infantry or
cheers from charging cavalry.
The drummer awoke from his
stupor and gazed around him.
Something had warned him that a
battle was imminent. He looked in
to the eyes of his comrade aud there
was the same fire he had seen on a
dozen battlefields. He felt the old
excitement in his soul-the wild en-
thusiasm that comes from waving
flags, tramping columns and crash OF
arms. He made sign which was
understood. The nurse took down
from the shelf the same old drum,
Scared by half dozen bullets, and
from the hooks the uniform which
had not been worn for twenty long
years.
"Ah! comrade," whispered the
drummer, as strength came back to
his limbs, eve may have been driven,
but we never surrendered. We will
not now! Let us form the line as OF
old"

! &.
Ed. South KENTUcKIAN:
lnotice criticism in your columns
on Talmage's sermon-The Choice of
a Wife-and am somewhat puzzled
with this conclusion of Hiram after
having shown such good taste on
other topics. Now, kind Sir, / don't
propose an argument with you, but
will simply refer you to what my
twenty-five caliber can't penetrate
namely: if such a large man as
Samson, such a wise man as Solo
man and such good man as Milton
should be witnesses in Talmage's
Caution Policy ; (as you term it how
you can have the sublime check to
advocate the rash policy! .
Again how that a man of your cal
iber (45) can so emphatically and re-
peatedly say marry, marry, marry,
without saying why he should mar
ry; but merely insinuate that you
had seventeen hundred dollars worth
of buttoDless dry goods by being
hminus of "she devil" as you call
thert One she devil minus seventeen
dollars worth of buttonless dry goods
leaves she devil and (perhaps) seve-
raj he devils-"Nhat a man soweth
that shall he reap"
And lastly how that the young
man is going to "marry, marry, mar
ry" without the young lady's "per-
mission, permission, permission, "but
then you didn't read his choosing
husband" Il suppose) or you certain
ly would have said young man and
lady, marry, marry, marry!
Talmage insinuates that it takes
two to trade and that the young lady
should have a rather considerable
say so in the matter as she has the
disadvantage of numbers.
Mr.. Editor his sayings are tainted
also with Pharisaism Just note his
concluding remark and then let us
pass the sentence:
"Yea verify l can see how dreamy
man like myself can love all ideal
woman-love her down to death and
even out into the dream beyond" So
can some of the rest of us-Well /
should smile! But that she dare
Inasmuch as Talmage smelled a
mouse he was determined to unearlh
him-He said: In this course of
sermons 1 am going to hitch up my
best team to the whiflletree and put
the coulter of the plow clear up to the
beam and go strait on, from fence to
fence, however many nests of moles
and serpents may be ripped up by the
furrow and however many alarmed
people may cry "Whoaw
Mr.. Talmage wants TO know what
right has masculine heart whose
life has been loose to take under his
care the spotlesSness of a virgin reared
in the sanctity of respectable home ?
And his Indignation is great in the
querry "Will a "buzzard" dare to
court dove"
So IL seems that the genus hominii
is somewhat varied as well as wo-
men. Respectfully submitted,

ATLANTA, July 29th-A. M.-General John
B. Gordon yesterday received the nomina-
ton of his party for Governor. On the eve
of the assembling of the Convention Major
Bacon, his antagonist, made q last appeal
to his followers to crafty him at least by

ination unanimous. He declared that the
ring which worked against him had in its
membership the two United States Sen

corruption. Notwithstanding the appeal of
Major Bacon, his men finally went over to
General Gordon, except two.
