more than any other stock enterprise, and
we understand that the enterprise is to be
further extended In the direction OF calling
upon our County Commissioners (through

of the General Assembly of 1888, chapter

by our Representatives. We hope that the
"unpopularity" Of the question will not be
entertained, and that they will give US a

fonr-ifths of human diseases have their
source in Impure Blood, medicine
which restores that fluid from de-
PRAYED to a. healthy condition comes as
near being universal cure as any that

affects the blood in each stage OF its

BoiIs and CarbuncIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield TO
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial
Mr.. G. X. Murray, Of charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was al
ficted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
. That insidious disease, Scrofula, il
the fruitful cause Of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one OF
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular sweliings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfigured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need OF
Ayers sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised TO remedy.

Gathering Hopes to Blossom.

seldom indeed that the quiet monotony of
our rural little town is broken by tableau
of such rare brilliancy and beauty as was
| witnessed at the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday evening last, the occasion being
the marriage of Miss Lila NJ, second daugh-
ter of Walter NJ Talbot, Esq, of this coun-
ty, to Mr.. j. Hunter Davis, of Union City,
Tennessee.
The interior of the church, which was
crowded with fashionable assemblage, was
Hastily festooned with evergreens, the chan
Gel seemed breathing parterre of choice
flowers over which burning jets artistically
arranged let fall! flood of light as softly as

around which the fairies might delight to

The bride, one of Montgomery's most popu-
lar favorites, a beautiful blonde with laugh
ing blue eyes, richly attired in white silk
en- train, tulle veil and orange blossoms
holding in exquisite position rich pro
fusion OF auburn tresses, leaning on the arm
OF her father, preceded by her attendants,

Three Hundred Years Old.

Eternity is long. 1t may be millions
of years before any part of mankind
will obtain perfect knowledge of the
laws of life, but that snch perfection is
attainable l firmly believe. The life
of generation has been perceptibly
heightened. There is no reason to
doubt that the ratio of increase will go
on from year to year. Our sanitary
knowledge and our knowledge of the
means to prevent disease are augment
ed day by day, until now they are, in
some respects, absolutely perfect. The
list of preventable diseases is already a
long one, and if we do not avail our
selves of the information we possess in
regard to them it is simply because we
are hampered by ignorant and parsi
moniOus and corrupt legislators and
other officials. Our practice is there
fore far behind our ability in the mat
ter of preserving the health and thus
of adding to the length of mans life.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
next year will find us where we are
now or that the year after that will
show no advance from where we shall
be next year. If, therefore, the life of
a generation has increased six years
within the last half century as the re-
suit, among other causes of the almost
complete suppression of smallpox and
cholera, to say nothing of the absolute
abolition from civilized nations of such
pestilences as the "plague," the "blaek
DEATH" the Sweating Sickness" and
others equally malignant, why should
it not be heightened at least six years
every subsequent half century, so that
at the end of five hundred years the

Conklins was not a Mason.
Mr.. Moody as a Political Worker.

Mortified had its belated meeting
last week and appears to be about the
only town thereabout that has stemmed
the license tide this spring, that town
having gone 30 majority for no license.
The new landlord who bought the viii
lage hotel a few weeks ago in anticipa-
ton of getting license has been down
to the county seat to express his indig
nation, within a day or two. He
charges the defeat to the evangelist,
D. L. Moody, and, in disgust, remark
ed that if Mr.. Moody was going to take
a hand in that direction he had better
buy the hotel. This is the first time
that Mr.. Moody, who has just returned
from an evangelistic campaign through
the West, has done any political work,
and the way he went at it fairly dazzled
the political manipulators of the town.
After making an earnest appeal to the
voters a day or two before tOwn-meet-
ing, he followed up his preaching with
practice. Up bright and early election
day he drove about the town all day
long, firing out several horses in drum
ming up the voters. His frank, push
ing, business-like way and honesty of
purpose has made him favorite with
the Irishmen of the town, and among
the drinking men he was particularly
busy in importuning them to so vote
that the doors of temptation would not
be legally thrown open before them.
His zeal and energy were simply ire
sistible and he went through the town
like tornado. While the license men
were lowering about the town hall try
ing to make votes, Moody was driving
men in from the highways and hedges,
first having sent them on their way
with pleasant chat, a practical ap-
peal and his CHEEKY "God bless you,"
of course victory was assured. Mr..
Moody was not in the hall when the re-
suit was declared, but glib Hiberni-
an. who loves Moody and his cider,
too, arose and called out, "Mr. Cheer
man, be jabers, | move the thanks of
this town to the Honorable Mister
Moody" a motion that, of course,
brought down the house.
