Notwithstanding the fact that the
season of the year is now at hand when
the people do marry most, there is not
the faintest odor of orange blossoms
upon the atmosphere that this scribe
has been able to detect. This is all
wrong. Ruston has dozens OF young
people who should be entertaining mat
Timonial notions; and not only entertain
them, but put them in execution A
nice, live wedding in cur town would
do more to wake up the young people
aOn this subject than anything that coukI
happen. 1t is sad sight to see so many
handsome, attractive and worthy young
men and ladies treading the pathway
OF life minated. The antior Of our be-
ing never intended for such to be the
case, and we hope to see break in this
Line before great while. Who will be
the first.
The above is from the huston, Lin
coin parish. Caligraph. This indiff-
terence to, or neglect of matrimony
seems to be general in the towns of, this
State, and probably other Southern
States. There is something radically
wrong in a state of society where so
many people fail to marry. One reason
of it is the effort Of poor people to inn
itate the rieh-which they cannot do,
and at the same time support family.

Some of the papers of this State are
urging Gen. Nichols as a candidate for
Governor at the next election. The
same thing was done just prior to the
last State election, by this paper as
we'll as by others. Not long before the
election Gen. Nichols announced that
he would not be a candidate under any
circumstances, and as a consequence
confusion prevailed in the opposition
to the State administration, and the
latter had an easy victory 1t would
be well not to make this mistake a
second time. 1t would be well for
those papers now announcing Gov.
Nichols as their gubernatorial candi-
date, to ascertain if he is willing to be
one before wasting any editorial force
on him, and causing confusion in the
ranks OF the opposition to the State ad-
ministration-

MAXEr y, IA, JduudTy, 1850
For twelve or fifteen years | have been a
great sufferer from terrible form of blood
poison WHICH ran into the secondary, and fin
ally it was pronounced tertiaoy torn. My
head, face and shoulders became almost mass
of corruption, anG finally. the disease COM
came so horribly -epulsive that for three
years l absolutely refused to let people see me-
I used large quantities of most noted blood
remedies and applied to nearly all physicians
near me, but my condition continued to grow
worse, and all said that j must surely die. My
bones became the seat of eXcruciatinS aches
and pains; my nights were passed in misery; ;
L was reduced in flesh and strength; my kid
were terribly deranged, and life became bur
den tome.
l CHANGED to see an advertisement of B. B. b.
and sent one dollar to W. z. Birchmore d Co.,
merchants of our place, and they procured one
bottle for me. 1t was used with decided bene-
fit. and when light or ten bottles had been
used was pronounced sound and we'll.
Hundreds Of scars can now be seen on me,
looking like man who had been burned anu
then restored. My was well Known IN
this county, and for the benefit of others who
NAV be similarly affected, I think it my duty
to give the facts to the public, and to extend
nv heartfelt thanks tor so valuable remedy.
I have been well over twelve months and no
return of the disease has occurred.
