Madison county, Alabama, fur
nishes a striking illustration of the
value of good country roads. The
country has several macademized
roads within its limits. The Hunts
vile Mercury points out the value
of these good roads. 1t says the
land which has the benefit of the
turnpike readily sells for fifty and
sixty dollars an acre, and that land
which has no such benefit brings
only from fifteen to twenty dollars
an acre.

TRUE WORDS.

As a practical example OF the
value of advertising we refer TO
patent medicine manufacturers.
Every newspaper reader abhors the
patent medicine advertisement, but
some time every newspaper reader
reads it. 1t is kept before him year
in and year out, and though he may
read it but once, he has read it. As
long as he needs no medicine he
never thinks of 1t. But there comes
a time IN the lives Of nine men out
of ten when they need, or think
they need, for themselves or their
families, a specific for a real or
imaginary disease. The patent
medicine advertisement is remem-
bered and they decide to "try it,"
And so it goes from yeal to year.
Hundreds of men are "trying il"
every day, and solely because of the
hated patent medicine advertise
ment." These men keep their nos
trums before the people-not spas
medically, but persistently and con-
tinuously-and they thereby sell
them, Barnum said "the people
loved to be humbngged." This is
but half the truth. The humbug
men have learned the value of ad-
vertislng. 1t is not the love OF being
humbugged but the power of per
sistent advertising that catches the
people. If this be true, and it GER
tainly is, how much greater the
benefits to be derived from adver-
Using that which is truly meritori-
ous-not a humbug. 1t is folly to
say that good article does its own
advertising. The humbugger lures
the people from that which they
know to be good with q promise of
something better, persistently ad-
vertised. The man with the article
of genuine merit, waiting for its
merits to sell it, curses the people
for being fools, when he is himself
the fool in not keeping that which
he knows to be meritorious as per-
sistently before the people as the
man with the spurious article has
done. This is fact as solid as the
granite that underlies the hills of
North Georgia. -Cuthber Liberal.

Miss Mildred Maddox, of Ala

but she probably won't play any
excruciating funny Jokes in the
future. The other night, while hel
father was away from home, she dis.
guised herself as tramp, and ap.
peared at the front door of her
home, where she demanded food OF
her mother. Mrs. Maddox was
not disposed to accede to the de-
mand, and the supposed tramp be-
coming pressing and bold, the we-
man seized shotgun and shot her
in the shoulder. When she learned
that she had shot her daughter she
was Frustrated with sickness. The
young lady will probably survive
her wound, but she will hardly play

cause we want the people to under

would do it, we have undertaken the

we admit, it must be done to save the
poultry. We propose to do this work,
notwithstanding the effiuvium is almost
unbearable. The best regulated fami-

MANY vERr KIND VoRDs.

A number of Roseburg's best citi-
zens have given us words OF commend. |
alton for the rebuke we gave the seorn-
er that edits the Plaindealer. One
leading citizen said to us that "Benia
min did more to cast a cloud of con-
tempt upon religion than all other men
in this county " A man in the coun-
try said .sthat THE REVIEW did good
p:eee of work whenit defended the sane
tity of tile homes Of this county against
the slars cast upon them by one W. F.
Benjamin. He said that he rejoieed to
see the go5l work go forward This
man was lot member CT any church
either. A inan in Tennessee, a Re-
publican, who takes both THE REVIEW
and PleiaFe1'es, said that the Plain
dealers senrriilous filings at Christian
itY were hardly decent to go into re-
spectacle family. The fact Is the re-
spectacle people, whether Christians or
not, of this community for long time
have told us that somebody else ought
to edit the Plaindealer. The minis
ters of the town have not always been
we'll pleased with this same fellows
sneers, and one of them was absolutely
misrepresented by Benjamin about
what should have been said in his SER
mon. We never undertook any piece
of work that has so generally met the
appreciation of the whole people as
this. We knew that we would be Will
fed, that some little, small, enyious per
sons would applaud the scurrillity this
pseudo-editor would heap upon US, but
duty impelled us to this work, and we
shall see it through. No church, no
member Of any church, no Sunday
school, no Christian fireside where the
Bible is read, no family altar, ls safe
from this atheistical gorilla. Just
think of any decent man saying
sMEAsLY eight gallon jar of water,
referring to the miracle wrought in Cana
of Gallilee by the Sayior. We are not
perfect by good deal, but as sure as
you live our heart is in the right place
when it comes to any one belittling the
cause of religion, which has given US a
civilization which has raised the inhab
1tants Of earth to aposition of granduel
and blessedness that is the grandest
marvel of the ages. We owe to this
Agency all that have and are. And
while we struggle to reach the higher
eminences, and to point the young and
tender characters to these elevated
planes of purer thought and practice
to have man in the community tx
be continually shooting poisoned ar
rows into the very hearts and homes
of piety is more than we will pass b.
any longer unrebuked. We try to d.
right by all men, and yet in the mids
of humanity we sometimes fail, how
ever, our drift in this mode of existenc
: shall be upward, and we shall do wha
: We can for ''the defence Of the Chris
tian religion" This editor of th
Plaindealer instead of discussing tn
questions we called him to task foi
fell to a column of personal abuse, an
: strange to say few, and only fey
rolled this scurrillity under thei
tongues as sweet morsel. We are i

pOOR FELLOW, NOW MAD!

No, Mr.. Benjamin We are not mao
at what you said in criticism OF Rev
Mr.. Wade and the Christian religion.
We simply reviewed your contempt
nous sneers at divine things which you
have been in the habit of doing for
some time. We did this in decent
and respectable mannep, and 1t cut you
to the quick, because it was true and
every Christian man and woman in
this community knew what we said to
be true. You did not, in your TRADE
of personal vileness, attempt to reply
to one solitary word of our friendly
criticism, but flew into passion, and
lifted the floodgates of your low bill
ingsgate, and then in torrent, poured
forth words, that not one lady or gen
tleman IN all this community endorses.
Your atheistical filings and infdel sneers
at the Christian ministers of this town
ever since you have had an interest in
the Plaiadealer, has become stencil in
the nostrils of this whole people. A
respectable skeptic, we have the truest
sympathy for, but loud-mouthed, ran
ting atheist, we abh9F, and we mean
. Won. and do not know of another such
specimen of degradation nall this coun.
try. What relevancy had your per-
sonal falsehoods Ito the question in
handq You know, and you dare not
attempt to prove one solitary allegation
which you have made. But why answer
fool according to his folly2 Now sir
YOU can write 'smonth or two" or tt
all eternity, SO far as we are concerned
and about us personally if you choose
but two things are certain, we shall de
fend what is true and honorable against
the drivlings of an apology of man.
who has, unfortunately for the socia
and religious caste of this community
been allowed to hold place as an edu
Gator of public morals And secon dly
we have no reply whatever to make
againsta scavenger that would get so 10"
as to print utterances that he does not
believe himself, neither has he the least
shade Of proof to sustain his rantings
No; Mr.. Benjamin declines to discuss
this question like gentleman should
but says that he will sfor month Oh
81" measure swords with us if we like,
indulging in personal abuse. We de-
cline your proposition, knowing full
we'll that the school in which you were
brought up has trained you to speak
"evil and that continually" and we
know by sad acquaintance with you
as journalist, that you will pot tell
the truth at all times. You told this
same Capital Journal man that you
was 'sthe editor of THE REVIEW" at
one time, then you denied it, and then
we proved that you did so, and you
dared not deny it any more. So you
see we are at O disadvantage to under
take to cope with you on this low plane.
If Won will secure someone who can
and will discuss these questions of cas-
uistry with US, we are here to do our
best, and will accommodate you. but
to accept our suggestion would place
us so low in the scale of society that
we should never hope to rise again.

The stomach is the reservoir from which
