A Safe Guard.

Few people living in a malarial country
but occasionally need vigorous tonic,
either to keep off the malarial feeling or
else to cure the disease if it once gets into
the system. There is no more uncomfor-
table disease that affects humanity than
chills and fever. 1t drives away energy
and ambition. 1t makes one feel sick and
mean all over. A safe guard against the
disease and sure cure is Smiths Tonic
Syrup made by Dr.: John Bull i OF Of LOUIS for
entire family. It is far better than
ouinine, as no arrangement of the system
ever follows its use. The use of quinine
causes buzzing in the ears, dizzy sensa-
tons, nausea and sometimes even conyui-
sions and paralysis. Use Smiths Tonic
Syrup and all such danger is avoided. In
fact it has all the good medicinal qualities
of quinine with none Of it's evil nature.

Maurice Thompson, in his story of Lou

ernor of the Louisiana colony there were
many well titled plantations up and down
the river about New Orleans, and orange
groves loaded with their golden fruitage
grew around spacious and comfortable
homes. This was in 1743. In the winter
of 174s-49 a series of cold waves, or
"Northers," reduced the atmospheric tenn
perature so low that nearly all the orange
groves were killed. Again during the
Winter of 1773 the orange orchards about
New Orleans were killed. New Orleans
was laid out in IT'S, and this was the
third time that the orange trees had been
killed there in the space from the settle

The Alliance in Georgia.

Governor Gordon recognizes ths strength
of the Alliance in Georgia, and writes a
letter from which we extract the follow
ing. The Governor says:
As life member of the State Agricul-
tural Society" from early manhood, and
identified in every possible way with the
farming interests of the country, my high
est concern in public and private life has
naturally been to protect and promote the
great agricultural industry of our country;
not only as the leading, primal and prin-
cipal calling of our people, but the one
most essential to Southern and national
prosperity, and yet least favored by gov
eminent or protected by its own votaries.
Hence, for fifteen years or more, | have
labored in convention, on the public ros-
trum and in private station to induce the
farmers of the country to organize. For
fifteen years or more have urged close,
compact union-an all embracing agricul-
tural brotherhood, defensive in it's charac-
ter and only aggressive in protecting that
industry from unfriendly legislation, I'M
lust exactions and hurtful determinations.
In view of these efforts to secure organiza-
ton during so many years of my past life,
it is scarcely necessary for me to say that
| hailed the advent of the Farmers ALI
ance as the possible final realization of a
long cherished hope. Nor is it necessary,
with my past record before you, to say that
indorse without reserve and with una
bated emphasis the policy of the Alliance
for an increase of the circulating medium
of the country.
! The letter then concludes:
My sympathies are deeply enlisted in all
the high purposes sought to be accom-
plished by the Farmers Alliance. l re-
| ioice that the genius of the age-the ge
MUS of organized cooperative effort-hss
at last possessed, aroused and impelled to
action the great body of the tillers of the
soil.
This letter, it is supposed, will smooth
over any possible obstacle there may have
| been to the election of Gov. Gordon, and
is another evidence that the Alliance rules

A more agreeable journey through
diversified and attractive scenery than
that which can be made by one Of the two
daily yestibuled fast trains Of the Balt-
more g Ohio railroad between Chicago
and Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Now York would be hard TO find.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad of to-day
is a vastly different insituation from that
which IL was a few years ago. The anti
quated locomotives and cars which then
constituted its equipment have given place
to rolling stock OF the latest and best pat
terms and the through trains, vestibuled
from engine to rear sleeper and including
dining cars and Pullman cars Of the most
modern and luxurious character, compare
favorably with those of any in the world.
The sleeping cars especially built for these
trains few months ago have some admir-
able improvements. The elegant simpll-
city Of the interior decorations is in marked
contract TO the louder ornamentation which
not long ago was considered the height of
art in such places. The wood is of ma
hogany with little carved or raised work,
but brought down to the highest finish,
carefully selected for fine grain and text
ure and showing highly artistic cabinet
work which the eye does not tire of admir-
ing. The improvement in the locomotive
equipment is equally remarkable. In order
to climb the Alleghenies, from whose
heights the passenger enjoys views of
sublimity and beauty which he never
fOrgets, heavy grades and numerous curves
were necessary i'm constructing the road
and until recently il required the help of
extra engines TO get train TO the summit.
Now when the foot OF the mountain is
reached, instead of two or more engines
being called into service there is attached
to the train a single engine weighing 81
tons, having six coupled drivers and cylin-
ders 21X26 inches in size, and this power
full machine takes the heavy train up the
long stretches of grades, reaching as high
as 1ls feet to the mile, at lively place.
The daylight ride oyer the mountains,
especially in the time of verdure, shows a
wonderfully attractive panaoma in which
grandeur and beauty are constantly ming
led, and indeed the entire journey between
Washington and Chicago proves the prop
riety of calling this road "Pictureque B. g.
