Patent medicines differ
One has reasonableness, an
other has not. One has repu-
tation-another has not. One
has confidence, born Of sue
cess - another has only
hopes"
Don't take it for granted
that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not.
Let the years of uninter-
rupted success and the tens
of thousands of cured and
happy men and women, place
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription
on the side of the comparison
they belong.
And there isn't a state or
territory, no-nor hardly a
country in the world, whether
its people realize it or not,
but have men and women
in them that're happier be-
cause of their discovery and
their effects.
Think of this in health.
Think of it in sickness. And
then think whether you can
afford to make the trial if
the makers can afford to take
the risk to give your money
back as they do if they do
not benefit or cure you.

EiOped With a Negro.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, April 10
Mrs. J. A: Houston, the wife of a
prominent farmer, residing near
this city, eloped with the hired
hand, a negro by the name of Dick
Black, yesterday. Black had been
employed on the farm by the hus-
band of the woman with whom he
eloped. Mrs. Houston, with her
husband and family of grown-up
children, resided on the farm
which is one of the best in Jackson
county. Several years ago she
went of with a hired man, and the
guilty pair were caughtin st. Louis
by the irate husband, who after,
wards condoned the offense. This
last escapade has caused excitement
to run high in the settlement
against the negro, who, if caught,
will be lynched. Mr.. Houston,
the husband, will file an applica.
ton for divorce.

WHIPPING FARMERS INTO
LINE.
Southern Alliance Members Or
dered to FOrsake the
Democratic Party.

topeka, Kan, April 15.-Frank
McGrath, president of the Farmers
Alliance, will publish in the Kan
sas Farmers tomorrow an open let
ter addressed to members of the
Alliance south of Mason and Dix
on's line demanding that they for
sake the democratic party. He
quotes from several southern Alli-
ance papers in which editorials
have appeared opposing indepen-
dent political action and adds:
81 ask all members of the Far
mers' Alliance and Industrial Union
to meet for a Farmers Alliance
conference in Music hall, Cincin-
natl, O., May 10, 1891 that we may
decide on the course the Farmers
Alliance will pursue before the
conference meets. I believe /
voice the sentiment of the north
west when l say that the Farmers
Alliance in the northw estern states
will either be in union with the
south, in the middle OF the road in
1892, or the northwestern states
will return to their old-time major
tiles for the old party, and the
union for the west and south for
the protection of their homogen-
eous interests will be deferred for
another generation"
W. F. Rightmire, president OF
the Citizens Alliance in this state,
wrote to a number of leading south
ern Alliance organs a few weeks
ago warning them that unless the
southern farmers forsook the DEM
ocratic party the Kansas farmers
would return to the Republican
party. His letters were returned
and McGrath's open letter was the
result. The leaders of the Alliance
movement in this state recognize
the future of the peoples party de-
ponds upon the action of the Gin
cinnati conference.

They Want the Earth.


British fendness for territory is
illustrated very graphically in a
well-known pocket atlas published
by an English firm. British pos
sessions are printed in a brilliant
shade of red, but the world is a
large place, and even the numerous
colonies of the little island fail to
make as great a show as was de-
sired, go Grant Land, the great
continent of rock and ice lying
north of the Arctic circle, and Gra-
ham Land, a similar tract south of
the Antarctic circle, were also print
ed in a rosy hue. These desolate
wastes are underlined and unex-
plored, and of about as much use
u the milky way. Certainly no
nation will dispute Britannia's
right to paint them red if she wants

B. G. Gentry, of Greene Co.,

boz, but 80 far all attempts to sup
press him have been futile. Cols
Greene is under indictment for
numbering Luther Shylett, one o.
his neighbors, and his dislike for a
public trial has prompted him to
take to the woods, where the off,
GERS cannot find him, even assum.
ing that they wish to. Col. Greene
is armed with a Winchester rifle
which carries sixteen cartridges,
and a brace of pistols OF superior
make. His ENHANCEMENT with the
law has in no way lessened his dis
like for his neighbors. Every day
or two he makes a journey home,
and in order to terrorize the peo-
pie in the nelghborhood and give
notice that he is on the warpath he
rings for hours at q time a large
bell erected o a pole in his door
yard II has not yet occurred to
the she iff and his deputies to as

The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1891-04-23

Since the farmers alliance has
taken hold ofaffairs in Kansas many
surprising things have been done.
But the most unique and daring
thing that has yet been evolved by
that body is reported scheme to
build trunk line railroad across
the state. 1t is expected thatit will
be made the issue of. the next politi.
cal fight in Kansas by the alliance.
Members say that the plan is for the
state government to construct
trunk line about $50 or 300 miles in
length, and for the counties to build
network of branches that will
touch every important point in the
state. 1t is said that the right of
way privileges would be donated in
every instance. For altogether
original designs in political platform
architecture the western alliances
are peculiar.

Hawkers and Peddiers.

What ear splitting cries we. hear
daily in the streets of every large
city! But these itinerant dealers
who hawk their wares about are,
when under proper restrictions, a
useful portion of the community,
and not such nuisances as the ca
tarrh hawkers. This is a stubborn
disease to conquer, but DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy does it. It is mild
soothing and antiseptic, unlike
snuffs that irritatA, or solutions that
burn. 1t corrects offensive breath,
and restores taste, smell and hear
ing. Nasal catarrh often ends in
consumption. Apply the only cure
in time. Price so cents, by all drug
gists.
