The Truthful Georgia Landlord.

 Not far from the city of Montgomery, ir the State of Alabama, on one of the roads running from the city, lives jolly land lord by the name of Ford. In fair weather or in foul, in hard times or in soft, Ford would have his joke whenever possible. 0ne bitter, stormy night, or rather morning about two hours before day ybreak, he was aroused from his slumbers by loud shouting and knocks at his door. He turned out, but soreIy against his will, and demanded what was the matter. It was dark as tar, and as he could see no one he cried out: "Who are you, there?' "Three lawyers from Montgomery was the answer. "We are benighted and want to stay all night"
 every sorry can't accommodate you SC far, gentlemen. Do anything to oblige you, but that's impossible" The lawyers, for they were three of the smartest lawyers in the State, and ready to drop with fatigue, held consultation, and then, as they could do no better and were too tired to go another step, they asked:
 "Well, can't you stable our horses and give us chairs and fire till morninga"
 ooh, yes; can do that, gentlemen"
 Our learned and legal friends were soon drying then wet clothes by bright fire as they composed themselves to pass the few remaining hours in their chairs dozing and nodding, and now and then swearing word or two of impatience as they waited for day light.
 The longest night has morning and at last the sun came along, and then in due time good breakfast made it's appearance; but to the surprise of the lawyers, who thought the house was crowded with guests, none but themselves sat down to partake.
 'sWhy, Ford, I thought your house was so full you couldn't give us bed last night2' said one of the travellers.
 'tI didn't say so," Ford replied.
 "Yeu didn't? What in the name of thun- der then did you saya'
 "Yeu asked me to let you stay here all night and I said it would be impossible, for the night was two-thirds gone when you came. If you only wanted beds why didn't you say sop
 The lawyers had to give it up. Three of them on one side and the landlord alone had haat fharc all

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffoeation while ying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undsturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear brain active and free from pain ache to know that no poisonous putrid matter deAles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not through it's veins and arteries suck up the poison that is sure undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond all other human enJoyments. To purchase immunity from such fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many reme- dies and physicians despair of relief or cure.
 Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most loath- some and destructive stages It is local and consti- tutonal Instant in relieving, permanent in curing. safe, economical and never failing.
 Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one Dox of Catarrhal Solvent, and one Improved Inhaler with treatise and direc- hons, and is sold by all druggists for $1.
