ELDERToN, GA, June 1, 1885.
My brother has q son that was afflicted
with rheumatism in one of his legs until
the knee was so badly contracted that he
could not touch the ground with his heel
and had scrofula. He took only two
bottles of B. B. B., and scrofula and
rheumatism are both gone.
Mrs. NJ. a. Elrod came to my house
the past summer almost covered with
carbuncles and boils. | got two bottles
of B. B. B, and before she had got
through with the second bottle she was
entirely we'll. She was also troubled
with swollen feet and ankles, and had
been for twenty years. All gone-no
trouble with swollen feet now,

1858. used one bottle, and have felt
nothing of the kind since taking the

MEDICAL MEN !!
What Two Prominent Physicians Say
of a Noted Remedy.

Crawfordville, Ga, Democrat.
BIB. is without doubt one ofthe most
valuable and popular medicines known
to the medical science, and has relieved
more suffering humanity than any other
medicine since it came into use. IL has
never failed in single instance to pro-
duce the most favorable results where it
has been properly used. Physicians
everywhere recommend it as doing all it
is claimed to do. The following certifi-
Gates are from two prominent physicians,
who have dore a large and successful
practice for many years, and upon whose
judgment the public can safely rely:

years l have been suffering with rheuma-
tism in the muscles of my right shoulder

various remedies, both patent medicines
and those prescribed by physicians. Last
summer l commenced using B. B. B., and
could see an improvement by the time 1
had taken one bottle. have been taking
it at intervals since last summer, and
can say it is the best medicine for rheu.

to aboard off, just before ready to come
up, as it leaves it clean and in good con-
dition for first working. And now comes
the trouble. How is it to be cultivated,
and when are We to commence? My
rule has been, and 1 find no occasion to
change it. to give the first working in a
few days after the corn is up-just as
soon as it can be done, by tackiug a
board on the side of my stock to pre-.
vent covering it too badly, and I do it
with small, long subsoi, running
almost under it, and as deep as can,
sometimes flushing the tender plant
almost out of the ground. If possible
follow with hoe, replant missing hills,
chop down weeds and fine grass, and
fresh up the ground around the plant,
thinning to one stock if the worms are
not killing it. It is only necessary to
ring 1t the first time. The second plow.
ing should be TO ring with bull tongue
or small shovel and throw two more
burrows or run out middles if needed.
The third is best done with sweep next
to corn and short shovel 10 follow, hoe.
ing so as to clean, keep the hill level,
and to replant. By all means keep re.
planting so as to fill up gaps and have a
continual supply Of fresh pollen from
tassels. Fourth and last working to be
done with broad, fiat sweep, just skim
ming the ground. If you would have
extra large we'll filled ears, hoe after last
blowing and draw fat hill to every
stock, covering up the brace roots nov
visible. Ilearned this from Jesse French
ESQ.,, celebrated "corn raiser" o.
Greenville County. 1t may and should
be done after the silks appear. Let u'
not become weary or lazy and quit tot
soon, but continue to work as long as il
is needed, and know that we shall bt
"partakers of the fruits" And one
other thing must not be forgotten-tha
corn will not wait, that we can't let i
go over its time for working withou
seriously ipjuring it. That fifteen tt

Intensive Farming.

Mr.. j. B. Hunnicutt, in the Newman,
Ga, Advertiser, says:
Having received many letters of in
quiry, how to raise corn on the intensive
system, I have concluded to answer
through your columns, if you think the
matter of sufficient interest to give it
space. know you are ready to publish
any plan which you think will help the
farmers.
plant double rows because I cannot
get stalks enough on an acre by any
other plan and still have ventilation.
1. Lay off rows six feet apart, subsoil-
ing each row, aud put in compost pretty
heavy, cay 500 pounds per acre.
2. Bed on this subsoiling each furrow.
8. Lay off rows 1S inches apart on
either side of the composted furrow and
put $50 pounds per acre Of good standard
guano or phosphate, just as for cotton,
and drop corn IS to "a inches apart in
each row and cover lightly.
4. When the corn is we'll up run one
furrow, with a very long narrow plow
between the narrow rows and follow with
hoes. This completes first working.
S. Ten days later run the same plow
in the same furrow again, and run COM
mon q inch scooter around on the other
side of the corn and follow with hoes.
This completes second working.
6. Ten days later run around the inside
rows with larger plow, throwing fresh
earth to the corn, and in this furrow put
500 pounds per acre of compost and
pillow out middle with scrape or sweep,
and follow with hoes. This completes
third working
Z. Ten days later take large shovel
plow and run a good furrow in the
middle Of the wide rows and put $50
pounds per acre of guano in this furrow
and run around that furrow with broad
scrapes (so shallow as not to cut many
roots) until you get as near the corn as
you wish. This completes the fourth
plowing, and lays the crop by with a
slight rise in the middle of the wide row,
and slight depression toward each corn
row.
Now let us see what we have done.
The corn has been cultivated with IA
furrows to six feet rows, and three or
four hoeings, each very light, but very
essential. And, as to cost, we have cul-
tivated much cheaper than the usual
plan requires. We have invested about
$40 per acre in fertilizipg and 81 in
work, thus:

What return do we get for this heavy
investment of S1400 per acre-more
perhaps, than the land was worth ?
With three dry summers seven, nine and
eleven weeks drought respectively, the
writer gathered between forty and fifty
bushels of good heavy corn per acre.
Take the lowest figure, forty bushels per
acre, and the cost will be 25 cents per
bushel. If you make so bushels the cost
will be only % cents. If the season
should be favorable and you make GO
bushels per acre, then the cost is reduced
to only 224 cents. But this is not all.
You have very heavy crop of fodder
and your land is doubled in value; every
acre thus treated is worth 50 to 81 before,
and will continue so for years.
My experience is that this is the cheap
est plan for raising com on upland, the
best plan for manuring poor land, less
liable to suffer from drought and the
only way to compete with western corn.
We must get out Of The old ruts or we
can't keep up with tie western wagon.
All ask of any nian is to give this
plan fair trial fire condenning it.
Do not lot your prejudice against double
rowed corn prevent you from filling your
crib with the cl'rapes. c'':n you ever
raised Dn not lie ft;i'l If every new
idea, but prove aIl things, and hold fast

The outlook TOR good silver mines in
the limestone range is considered by
those who are familiar with silver min
ing to be very favorable. The low as
says received from abroad, however,
have had tendency TO dampen the
ardor of many prospectors who have
had no experience in this direction, but
those who are more familiar with the
situation, evince strong confidence in
the final result. 1t is now very evident
that no high grade ore has been dis
covered on the surface. Four or five
ounces being the maximum, but even
that amount upon the surface is consid-
cred by all silver prospectors to be in
dicative of valuable ore below, and
quite sufficient to justify development
Arrangements are being perfected for
sinking a deep shaft on one of the most
promising mines 10 determine its value,
and until this has been done, nothing
definite can be determined as to the
presence Of silver in paying quantities
in the limestone range.
The mine owned by Messrs Brickley
and Thompson, one mile southeast Of
this place, has now reached Il depth of
81 feet, the foot wall having been en-
countered at depth Of 35 feet from
which point the vein was followed on
its dip to the west. Many characters of
ore have been found differing materi-
ally in appearance and character, some
Of which evidently bears but trace Of
silver, while it carries high per cent
of gold. In other characters of the ore
silver predominates. One Of the ASSAYS
recently received from New York
which was treated by Professor ii. n.
Riottee, the certificate of which was
shown us by Mr.. Brickley, gave return
of S30l2 in gold of free milling char
acter, with but trace of silver.
In letter from Professor Riotte, ac-
companying this assay, he states that he
could readily see the gold in the ore by
the aid of magnifying glass, and that
he concluded the ore was too good to be
found in quantity, which has been de-
termined to be ar incorrect impression,
as the vein shows nearly three feet Of
ore Of this character.
The professor evinces much interest
in the mine, and has urgently requested
that a sack Of the different characters
of ore found in the mine, be sent TO him
for assay, which request will be COM
piled with, and upon the receipt of the
assays, we will be pleased to announce
the result to our many anxious readers.

The Celebration.

The celebration on the 9Th was a
most perfect success Custer was crowd
ed with visitors from all parts of the
Hills. Every feature Of the program,
save the play of Don Caesar de Bazan,
which was omitted on account of the
indlsposition of the leading character,
was satisfactorily presented.
The grand parade headed by the
Grand Army Post would have been
creditabe to much larger town than
Custer. The address of Mr. Bower Of
Battle River was eloquent and appropri-
ate, and elected the highest commenda-
tions of the audience. The horse races,
foot races, sack races, etc, were well
conducted, and with the exception Of a
single accident, the result of one of the
horses boiling the track and running
over Mr. o. d. Moore, rendering him
unconscious for time, but not serious
ly iniuring him, no casualties are re-
ported. The day was beautiful beyond
description, not hot, but delightfully."-
warm, with gentle breeze from the
west, which was most refreshing and
invigorating.
The committee Of arrangements are
deserving Of much credit for the success
of the occasion, which may be attributed
mainly to the fact of the rapid success
sion of the different features, no per.
ceptible drag occurring from the COM
mencement to the close. The Fireman's
hall was well attended, and was in every
respect most pronounced success.
Taken in all its details Custer's cele.
bration was grand success, and will be
held in pleasing remembrance by its
many participants FOR years to come.

The Pilot commercially advises the
closing of the business houses of Her
mosa on Sunday, claiming that it may
more easily be done now while the
town is yet young, than it could be
after the town becomes older Our ex-
perence would lead us to the belief that
this is step rarely taken in new west
ern towns, and that it is only when the
town puts or metropolitan airs that a
day Of rest is observed. Custer City
however being an exception to the
rule.
