A NAMeLESS CASE,

NV case has been a very curl.
Gus one fer about thirteen years.
at intervals of about one week
I would be attacked with spells
of severe and most excruciating
pain, always commencing in the
region of my kidneys. The pain
would then 60 upward and az
feet my body and head. and
seemed to penetrate my very
eye-balls, creating the most in.
tense suffering, lasting about
eight hours each spell
/ resorted 10 all kinds oil
medicine without benefit. SIEVE
raj doctors treated my case but
none gave relief. l finally used
b. B. b. as an experiment, and
TO ny utter establishment oil
pain and suffering vanished at.
ter using three doses. To the
present time I have used three
bottles, and net a pain has ever
returned. l do not know what
was the matter, neither could
my physicians name the com.
plant. The B. B. b. acted finely
upon my kidneys; my appetite
has been splendid and my COZ
stiiu,lon built up rapidly.

The Bank Bill.

Clarion Ledger.
This measure passed both
Houses, and has received the
approval of the Governor. II
requires private banking insii-
tutions to publish quarterly
statements OF their condition, as
the United States Government
now requires Of NATIONAL Banks.
This bill will give the public in
formation that it has heretofore
been unable TO receive. IL a
similar measure had been adopt
ed ten years ago thousands of
dollars would have been saved
to depcsitors.
Speaking of the bill, the CO.
lumbus Index says: This ia prob.
ably one of the beat measures
passed during the session. The
reports published recently in
our columns show a great diffe.
renee between the number of
failures of National and private
banks. The cause assigned for
the smaller number Of failures
OF National Banks is the require
ment Of quarterly statements.
Where so many people are
concerned and so much is at
stake, it is bat just that private
as well as National Banks should
be required to make public
statements of their business
II this were required in every
State there vould probably be
fewer failures Also in case Of
failure there would no doubt be
smaller losses to the depositors.

I'D. EAGLE: As you solicit

you a few dots.
The railroads aud railroad tax.
alton is the all absorbing topic
IN our community at present.
We are in favor of rail- Dads and
ether public enterprises and
think railroads a blessing to the
eouGtry but VIC are opposed to
building them by taxation. The
proposition is that the voters Of
the county vote a subscription
OF fifty Thousand dollars to build
this railroad, to bc paid in forty
years with an annual interest of
% per cent. Now, let US see
what ii will amount to. The in.
terest ON $4,000 for one wear
will be s2s00, which must be
paid annually for forty years.
which will amount to $50 COG
interest, added to the principal
viii make $4,000.
III does seem to me that if the
farmers viii reflect, will think.
they will not vote upon a com.
~ already in debt. twenty-five
hundred dollars a year interest
for forty years over and absve
the principal Of fifty thousand.
and | would urge the farmers of
Lafayette county TO go slow.
Let the road be built by private
subscription which I feel Ger.
tain will be done if the people
vote no subscription.

NOT lOlH since 4 NAocCN NhC
fall and winter terms of the u
s. courts in this State, during
the time I met with jurors. par
ties, Witnesses and lawyers from
most OF the counties IN the
State and inquired OF them in
relation TO the condition Of the
people financially and the gene
raj prosperity prevailing in their
counties, and from the informa-
ton obtained, I'm satisfied that
the citizens are in a better con-
dition financially and in every
other condition since the close
of the late unpleasantness. The
last crop was raised at less ex-
pense than any since the war,
the cotton crop was an average
one and sold for an average
price or mOre,i the corn crop,
take the State over exceeded
any since the war. The number
of horses and mules raised in
the state within the last few
years has to q great extent sup
piled the demand before that
f.! time, brought from Tennessee,
Kentncky. Missouri and other
states. Tho number OF cattle
raised now in the state about
doubles those of former years
both in Number and quality and
the hog crop at least equal to
that raised in any year before.
People live more in milk and
butter, raise more vegetables
and everything to eat for man
and beast THAI before. Former.
ly i. was a rare thing to see @
wagon load of hay brought to
town for sale, now a large quan
tity of hay is saved in almost al
the counties of the State, il
some parts of the State farmer,
are turning their farms into hay
fields and find it much NOR,
profitable than raising cotton
The hay Is baled up aud shippe,
of TO the cities, and why not
we have an excellent hay coun
try. All that is required is {,
put the ground in proper csndi
ton and the grass will grow
without seeding and with o NOW
er aud rake, it can be saved il
a very short time.
We have more and better
schools than ever before, Their,
is much more attention paid tG
the education Of our young PEG
pie than before the war. Thil
increased prosperity is due Il
several causes but to none per
haps more than to the changed
habits of the people in tn,
abandonment of the use of in
toxicants. This change is OBJ
served not only where the sal,
is prohibited but where il is al
lowed and carried on. | have
been surprised at this change
for the better. Men who once
spent all they could get for tina,
which did them no good but
ruined them now spend theil
money in rendering their fami
lies comfortable and happy.
Am not writing on prohibition Oh
anything OF that sort but only
stating facts which are encour
aging TO all who intend to make
Mississippi their future home
Another encouraging fact is
that comparatively few people
are leaving the State and mOrs
are coming to it than before
have made these plain and I'm
vanished statements OF facts q:

the good people OF the State Il
