River near Hyder's Mills July ! 1888.

before her dear son in whom was all
her earthly support. The bereayod
mother and familyhaye the sympa-
thy of the friends and neighbors
Three of his brothers came very near
loosing their lives trying to save his
life. It is a sad home without dear
George. Oh how sad it is to think
that never can hear bis voice again
He went to prayer meeting every
Sabbath evening, but he has gone tC
stay now. His remains were entered
into the family burial ground at Tn
ion Church July 2, 1888.
Oh! how sadly do | miss him. wher
the evening hours draw nigh; silen
tears are flowing as I think Of days
gone by. Death has claimed m!
brightest treasure, yet, should no
question why. Brightly dawned 70
his LIES morning, true and sacre,
we're earths ties, But our Father cal
ly called him to the home beyond tn
skies, there to dwell mid scenes celes
tial in the relms of paradise, He ha
passed the golden portraits to receiy
the Angels love. / wounld moi

"Peterson's Magazine" for August
begins "a London Success" by the
author of "a Transplanted Rose" To
Judge from the opening chapters, this
seres will prove fully equal to that
novel, which made such a decided hit
several years ago. Indeed, among all
the stories and poems, there is not one
but deserves special mention. The
lumber is rich in patterns for ladies
and children's dresses, fancy articles
and other sorts of needlework-in fact
everything the heart of woman can de-
sire. The present number is as good
as itcan be, from the first page to the
last. 'Peterson's" popularity seems
steadily to increase year by year, nc
matter how hard times may be

The 4, s, 8. COMPANY,

Among the very first establishments
OF Atlanta to become nationally
known when the Gate CITY had set out
on its wonderful career of fame and
fortune was that which has for years
manufactured and sold the celebrated
rs. S. S." or Swiit's Specific; and it
was through the uninterrupted and IN
yielding success and increasing use
and popularity Of s. s. s, that this
house became famous.
1t is too late in the day to recount
with brevity the long and unvarying
triumphs Of this sovereign tonic, and
it is much too late to question its UNI
doubted efficacy and merit. Other
preparations have been brought into
being by the needs Of human woe
Some of these have been meritorious
and have met the expectations and
claims built upon them. Others have
been fallacious. Some OF them have
survived. Others have disappeared
have gone under by their own gravity
or been swept away by superior rene
dies. To the sterling and established
repute Of S, S. s., of course the fate O
other efforts could mean nothing
Their success could not abate that O
the S. S. S., and their failure coulC
give it no wider field for its triumphs
A remedy so well known and so uni
versally successful could we'll afford Il
submit to all tests.
S. S. S. happens, too, to be specific
for the very kinds and degrees of all
ments and Affections to which th,
vast percentage OF human flesh is hei
in all climates, conditions and circum
stances. These are rheumatism
scrofula, blood poisons, blood taints
mercurial and vegetable poisons, I'll
GERS, diseases of the skin, catarrh, can
GER etc. Elsewhere we print O full
page showing the wonderful scope o
disease over which this specific pre-
sides as a confessed annihilator. Gu
readers will find there fuller accoun
OF its conquests than it is possible t,

There are two usual ways of doing what Ma
ture sometimes does incompletely namely to
relieve the bowels. One is to swallow drastic
purgotiye which eyacuates proiusely, abruptly
and with pain, the other is to take Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not vio-
lent, but sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grpe the intestnes, If the first is selected
the person employing it need not expect permN-
nent benefit, and he cannot hopeto escape the
debiliating reaction which leaves the organs as
bad or worse off than before. II on the other
hand, he resorts to the Blttcrs he can rely upon
the restoration Of regular habit of body, con
sequent upon a renewal of a healthful tone in
the intestinal canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY re-
taxing the bowels, the Btters arouses a dor
mant liver, imparts beneficial impetus to the
action of the Kidneys and cpuptereacts the
| early twinges of rheumatism, a tendency to'gou
| and malaria in all its forms

Fashion Notes.

Little mantels Of velvet are ali En-
glish fancy, and their heavy garniture
OF gold and jets gives them very
sumptuous effect. A jabot of lace fin
ishes, and either sling sleeves or those
OF the Tudor period lend grace to the
simplest Of them,
A patent corset, the invention oil an
English medical man, is useful ar
ticle. In any Athletic exercise the
need of q flexible corset is very keen
ly felt, and the knitted corset is at
once so pliable and so shapely that it
supplies such want perfectly.
Some old-fashioned shades OF pink
are revived this season. Sometimes
two tones of the same color are com
bined in the same costume, and in the
hat. The most stylish is the true old
rose, which is between q coral and a
shrimp pink, yet suggesting neither
French cut work with buttonhole
stitch is very effective, and still one OF
the prettiest of all the showing OF
summer handiwork. 1t is used for
toilet covers, the edging of pillow
shams and tea covers, and wears like
iron. Dresden linen forms the back
ground, and the wrought edges are
done in linen floss.
Oriental laces OF Sprigged designs
are in delicate tints, such as blue, rose
canary and mauve, and form some oI
the prettiest Of the dressy costumes
which will serve many purposes, as
well as dazzle the beholder at gradua
ton day. Narrow ribbons, lavishly
disposed, will be used on the lace
gowns, as well AZ on those OF heavier
fabrics.
The wooden theory in regard to un
derwear for summer, as well as winter
has brought into the market some
charming soft wooden vests OF gossa
mer fabric not unlike albatross cloth
They are finished daintily with al
edge of insertion and Valencienne
ruffle, and may be very easily made a
athome. For children these garments
would be safer for wear at the sea
side or in the country than merino o
cotton.
There are many very lovely mode
of hair dressing which, although no
new to the older generation, are move
to the younger, Notable among tn
new styles is the Catogan braid, turn
ed up against the crown of the head
or is tied with ribbon bow at the
nape of the neck. The hair in front
cut into Russian bang, or the Re
camier curls are worn, as with the lit
tie knot bristling with long buff
curls, which is known as the Empir
couture.
