cumulating In the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsiGhtly 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, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.

HOW =: &C. Ga" CURED

By taking Hoods Sarsaparllla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparills.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was % months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed In her neck, and ono of them after
growing to the size OF pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications Of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

Editor Banner There seems to
have been o false impression made
upon the minds of some of our non-
Union farmers and citizens in re-
gard TO the Farmers Union going
into politics as third party, and I
write this to disabuse their minds of
this misconception of our aims and
purposes.
The Farmers Union of Louisiana
cannot afford to organize any third
party in our State politics, and I
hope that no one will consider us as
going into professional or machine
politics.
ghe mission of the Union is strict
ly educational as to political econo-
my, and as has been expressed by
President Adams, we hope to "make
the Democratic party more demo
cratie.7 We are here to make an
organized resistance to all forms of
monopoly, and corruption 10 high
places, and especially to endeayor
By all honorable means to defeat that

ana Lottery.

SitiOn of the State Union to the lot.
terry two years ago, and since, We
are compelled to make this a test of
eligibility to membership in our Or
der in the State, and therefore we
will hereafter admit no man to
membership who favors the lottery.
/ do not see anything inconsistent
or arbitrary in this. In fact, it
seems to me to be the only consist
ent course for as to pursue under
the circumstances. We willingly

Tribute Of Respect.

Whereas, It has pleased the ALI
Wise God and divine Creator to take
from our midst our beloved Brother
and esteemed fellow-worker, N. G.
Brownlee, who has been a member
of our Lodge since Dec. 31st, 1890,
and noble worker in the cause, and
telling it our duty to extend our
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
family,
Therefore be it resolved by this
body, That we have lost one of our
noble Union Bro. as ever the spark
ling sunshine displayed her silent rays
upon; as a Union Brother his love
has had no end, unless it be since
death has chilled the form: as fa-
ther his affectionate words have no
superior; as husband, the widowed
wife can find no truer; and as friend
he was liked by all who knew him.
Be it resolved, That we extend our
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
family, and trust, as the Lord has
spared them while longer, that they
may prepare themselves to meet with
one that has gone to the world from
whence no traveller returns.
Resolved, That copy of these res
olutions be furnished the Vidette and

A charter has been granted in Geor-

which, it is asserted, promises to do
much towards the development of Geor=
gia. A good start has already been
made. Over 100000 has been invested
in the State since last, FEBRUARY The
company is the outcome OF the South
ern excursion of the Ohio farmers, ore
eanized and brought to Georgia by a

expected. asf 19sa fff4s

blowing off the top of his head and scat

who witnessed the horrible accident.

The Indian War.

An active and destructive war is pro-
crossing between the United States
troops and the various tribes of Indians
of the Northwest. A number of sol
diers have been killed, among them sew
eral officers, and still larger number of
Indians Stayed. The assassination of
Sitting Bull, the great medicine man of
the Sioux tribe, has Infatuated the In
dians, and nearly all who are capable of
fighting have put on the war paint.
They seem to be desperate and deter
mined to die in defense of what they
believe and we know are their rights.
1t is cruel war, and it is to be regretted
that it has been inaugurated.

There is one thing about which there
is very little dispute, and that is that
t';;s administration has a Secretary of
State who can hold his own with any
premier i'll the world. So long as Blaine
is at the head on our foreign affairs, no
fears need be entertained that American
rights and American interests will not
be vigorously and aggfessigely main
tanned.

The Senate has determined to push

The financial condition in the centres

The Markets.

There is very little doing in the way
of country produce at this time in this
market nor has there been for several
weeks past No wheat, corn or oats is
being offered. The nominal Offering for
wheat is 99 cents, but our farmers want
one dollar and will not sell for less
There is no corn offering, and nothing
doing in oats. Hay is bringing for $500
to $1,000, in small quantities.
Wheat is quoted in Baltimore at 9Sc
to $1.04. The cattle trade is stagnant,
owing to the difficulty in transportation
the severe weather making it risky to
ship in cars
