PIMPLES, SORES, ACHES & PAINS

When a hundred bottles Of sarsapar
lila or other pretentious specifics fail tc
eradicate Unborn scrofula or contagious
blood poison, remember that B. B B
(Botanic Blood Balm) has gained
many thousand victories, in as many
seemingly incurable instances. Send tc
the Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ca, for
Book Of Wonders," and be convinced.
1t is the ONLY BLOOD PURIFIER.
G. w. Messer, HowelPs X Roads,
Ga writes: Il was afflicted 8 years
with sores. All the medicine [ could
take did me no good. [ then tried
b. B. B. and s bottles cured me sound. :"
Mrs S. NJ. Wilson, Round Mountain.
Texas, writes: a lady friend of
mine was troubled with bumps and
pimples on her face and neck. She
took 3 bottles of &. B. B, and her
skin got soft and smooth, pimples dis
and her health improved
greatly"
J. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga, writes:
''Some years ago contracted blood
poison. had no appetite, my digestion
was ruined, rheumatism drew up my
limbs so [ could hardly walk, my throat
was cauterized FIVE times Hot Springs
gave me no benefit, and my life was one
of torture until | gave B. B. B. trial,
and, surprising as it may seem, the use
of five bottles cured me"

Oh HOW sensitive and quick are
our brethren Of '"Betsy" town We
called their town BY names, compar-
ative and plimentary, the other
day, and spoke of the excellant
adaptedness of her citizens to
positions of magnitude and power,
however greet, and here comes from
that town three or four papers,
delightful exchanges, full of chicks"
at the imagined appearance of
spur" How sarcastically do they
speak Of ."Mitchell," his age, exper-
ience, etc When we get older and
learn more Of our neighbors down
the Road we shall fear even to men
ton their names less the wrath Of
their sensitive natures may turn to
violence and we become the sufferers.
Three or four on one, never was fair
and never will be even though the
one be possessed of that muscular
development which is claimed for the
sons Of Betsy. We are no pugilist
and have always aspired for some
thing beyond the ordinary capacity
of common ass of which to boast.
Our attainments are limited being
the result Of personal sacrifice. We
claim no sapient powers not even
those expected in one of our age but,
we do claim that our discernment is
quite sufficient to behold the ambi-
tious motives of friend when hung
out, as it were, for public inspection
on the ends saught to be attained.

EDENTON. January 4th.

AN EXCHANGE saws, at is learned
on good authority in Raleigh that d
bIII will be presented 70 the Legisla-
ture looking to the establishment of
law requiring the payment Of a
poI-tax as prerequisite for voters"
That such law IS not without
merit is conceded by the thinking
and careful citizen who prefers the
good of State rather than party
power. He who feels not sufficient
interest in the government of his
State and Country to pay his tax in
order to carry on the same, should
not be permitted to say who shall
control, he should not be permitted
to even sit upon jury or serve, in
an honorable way, the government
he SO wilfully neglects.

Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1889-01-04

WE HAVE heard recently with
very great pleasure that the object of
leading Republicans in this district
vas to suit the people in the distribu-
ton of those offices in which the
people were Immediately concerned,
and that they intended to lend their
inf nence, in securing appointments,
to no man purely upon party grounds
unless all other things, such as COM
potency, etc, be entirely equal If
the people of Edenton are to be
suited in the apo ntment OF Post
Master then, we can name the man
who will fill the position. Mr.. L. l..
Brinkley, the present incumbent, is
without a fault as an officer. Not
one word of complaint either from
whites or blacks, whether Of one
party or the other, has been heard
against him. His bond is as good as
the very best and his accounts stand
perfectly square with the Department
" ashington. He is young man
full of activity, intelligence, honesty,
sobriety, poiteness and accommodate
ton. He takes prid7 ia the business
and manages the Office here upon
strictly business principles and &C
cordin5 TO law and rule prescribed
by National authorit;. He IS
quiet man and without ofense either
social. personal or political. This
being said Of him by all men and by
those, even, who would aspire to
take his position, we cannot see how
our Republican friends, in carrying
out their plans as touching the distri-
button of public patronage, can fail
to continue Mr.. Brink ley in his pres
.ent position.

To this the author replied:

After that, when questioned as to their
authorship, the orator would say: Il have

CHEEKY Words

From gentleman of Texas to his own
people. and all others over the country
Hear what he says:
| have been a practical druggist in
Tyler for number of years, and in that
time have had occasion to examine, try,
and notice the effect of nearly all the
highly recommended preparations or pat
ent medicines on the market, and as |
have suffered untold misery myself. the
past number of years, from severe form
of int1ammatory rheumatism, and could
find nothing to cure or relieve me- had
almost drawn conclusion that all pat
ent medicines were more or less frauds
until about one year ago, | was in
duced by friend now living in Tyler, to
try preparation known as 8 B. or Bo.
tsnlc Blood Balm. and after long per-
suasion on his part. / finally made up
my mind to make one more effort to rid
myself of the terrible affliction; and it
now affords me the greatest pleasure of
my life to state to the citizens of Smith
county that l am entirely cured. with no
| traces of the disease left, and all effected
by the magic healing properties of B. B.
b., which | consider the grandest, purest
and most powerful blood remedy known
to man. have been subject to in>
nammatorY attacks since ten years of
age, and up to the present time have had
four. The last spell came on me in
November, 1885, over year
ago. at which time was
confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass
ing the nights In misery, with no sleep
except when produced by narcotics and
various opiates. The week previous to
using B. B. B. up to that time | had only
eaten six meals, and could scarlely sit up
without support; but after using three
bottles L was able to relish my meals and
to walk up town, and after six bottles
had been used, thank heaven, | was en-
tlrelY cured, and not the slightest pain
felt since that time. When returned to
business in February, my weight was 145
pounds. but gradually increased until my
regular weight was again attained, 21O
pounds. The noticeable fact in what ! |
have so cheerfully stated is, that this I'M
paralleled and remarkable discovery, B. |
b. B., cured me in mid winter, at the |
very time my sufferings and misery were |
the greatest. take it on myself as a !
practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully, |
as we'll as conscientlously, recommend |
this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers
of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not
only myself, but the firm OF Mckay &
Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in
dorse its superior merits.

For CurcuIio and CodIine Moth,

The repeated experience of some mem,
bers OF the Ohio Horticultural society
appears to have proven that, for the
curculio and codling moth, l pound of
Paris green or London purple to 15O
gallons of water is a sufficiently strong
solution, and that where ID larger pro
portion of the poison is used the foli-
age is liable to be injured For the per-
feet destruction of the canker worm a
stronger solution is necessary. In some
orchards badly affected by this pest, the
best results have been obtained by the
use of a solution containing / pound of
the poison to 40 or so gallons of water,
applying this with considerable force in
the form of very fine spray. Some of
the members have used Paris green for
the currant worm, but a large majority
disapproved of this as unnecessary and
dangerous; unnecessary because white
hellebore is just as efficient and is per-
fectly safe.
