been devoted too exclusively to the grow.

the fruit can be made n clear net crop
and each farm will support itself.
On the Poninsular here some Of our
neighbors are 80 opposed to tho hog in
any shape that they even threaten
to violate the State laws by killing him
wherever found. Now real farming is
impossible without stock, and in our
present circumstances it is impossible to
make meadows or raise grain SO that
stock can bc confined. One object of
our association is to enforce the statutes
made for the protection of stock, and
those who use the shotgun or strychnine
on hogs when there is no lawful fence
must hide the deed carefully if they
would escape punishment.

How an Atlanta Woman was
Made 10 See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Fich land. Al McAfce street, Atlanta,

porter learned the following appalling story.
several months ugO she became almost to.
tally blind and deaf, and could not taste any

and those with whom she lived, desparcd of
her recovery. Her suffcrings combined with
loss of hearing and taste and blindness, were
truly heartrcnding.
All treatment from ply sicians and the use
of medicines seemed rowcrless. Her disease
was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re-
porter asked what wrought such wonderful
change.
II used medicine recommended by a
friend" she replied, "and before one bottle
had been taken BEGAN to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains a nd
improved my appetite. When had completed
the use of six bottles my eyesirht and hear

Twenty years of such work would

thus have high school for white

a good school Of mechanics fer boys

the better.

turbed, The question is, was there a
principle OF official honesty concerned in
that election, or was it a choice between
gentlemen OF New York and Maine::"
This strikes the nail On the head, and
We wish it could make its due impression
on the President. The democracy haye
no objection in the world TO the civil SER
vice laws being fully tested, or theexper-
iment of civil service reform being fully
tried. But the President has carried his
reform ideas far beyond either the letter
or the spirit of that law. 1t applies only
to minor offices OF the government,
while he has practically applied it to the
Presidential offices, aud, az a result, we
find in responsible place and position, a
lot of old Radical officials, legacies left
the country by Arthur and preceding
Radical administrations.
This policy has proven as unsatisfac.
tory to the President as it has to the
country. He has made enemies for his
administration by it, while he has not
gained one single friend, even among
the northern muswumps. The United
States senate has just been instigated,
through this policy, to seek to revolu.
tionize the government, usurp the Presi.
dents prerogatives, and subordinate the
executive to branch Of the legislative
department. while there is not radical
otlice-holder in the country to-day who
is not ready and anxious as ever to plot
the downfall Of the democracy, and con.
tribute to the best of his means and abil.
ity to the success of radicalism.
II is to be hoped new that the republi.
can senate has arrogantly defied the ex-
ecutive, the President will change his
tactics. When the people voted for a
democratic administration they voted
that the democrats should have the Of.
fees, and tho President should respect
their wishes.--Savannah Times.
