What is scrofuIa

1tis that impurity in the blood which, accumu-
1ating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which Is the origin
of pimples. cancerous growth5, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed TO :" humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines tho worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient
tits the most general of al diseases OF affections
for very few persons are entirely free from It.
How can it be cured By taking Hoods Sarsa.
parila, which, by tho cures il has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla iz uncqualled, and some of the
cures 1t has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofrla in any of its various FORMS
be sure to give Hoods Sarsa.arilla y trial.

value of turpentine timber, together with tn 3
fact that about 80 per cent. of the boxes now
cut in Georgia are on trees which are sold Tor
engagod) to neighboring saw-mils, causes the
turpentine and nmbermen to use extra care to
prevent fires Another thing. as you know,
by different legislatures of late years, making it
a misdemeanor to burn woods except at
stated period of the year. There was a convic-
ton in Scriven county under one of these acts
about three years ago.
But / presume you would Ike some
thing in the shape of an esti-
mate, large or small, for statistical
purposes l would therefore say that in my
Judgment about Q per cent. of the turpentine
tive fires OF course you know that il is the GUS
tom Of the turpentine men to burn off, their
woods every year. This is done after the trees
have been ''raked around" and then the fire is
put out by the operator among the trees and
only burns of the grass and broomSedge and
pine straw, and seldom reaches a turpentine
box. 1t is usual, moreover, to watch these
fires carefully. My estimate applies TO fires
which get out unawares to the owners OF the
timber.
According to an estimate made by me for the
Constitution On March LAST, there were 300 tur-
pentine stills in Georgia. with an average of
$500 acres of Der land in operation to each
still. That would mean about 100000 acres
actually in use by turpentne men last March.
Therefore, il my estimate of per cent. for
burnt" or destroyed timber is correct, we
would find about 10000 acres of turpentine
boxes annually ruined, and am satisfied it will
sweep over and devastate annually more than
that number of acres of timber which has been
boxed and worked out" Yours truly,
G. b. TOWNSEND.

How the Death of Profane Parrot
Affected One Churchman.
From, the Net1 York Recorder.
He sat on the stringpiece of wharf on
the East river front with his back to a
moored canal boat.
He was melancholy. His thin, yellow
side whiskers dropped idly along his yellow
face. There was dog fight going on up
the dock, but even to that he paid no atten-
ton. A canal man who won't suspend even
a business enterprise to look at dog fight
is nothing short of a phenomenon. So the
canal boat reporter determined to ask the
melancholy man If he was in any trouble.
"Troubleg' responded the man on the
string piece; trouble. young man amt the
word. It's more'n trouble. It's mebbe the
upsettin' of leader in the church. It's
mebbs the uprisin' Of the powers of wicked
ness. It's mebbe the downfall Of the right
eous. That's wat it isl TROUBLED Why,

words. young man, this here person you see

in that direction.

cartridges Suit Against Kessler & Ok

-
NEW York, June 15.-Edttor Morning
Netus: We have been furnished with
a copy of an article published in
your paper under date of Tuesday,
June 2, purporting to contain a statement
of Mr.. A. L. Hartridge's alleged TRANSACT

that article, in so fer as they

will be time enough to discuss the facts at
