THE AGEOF IMPROVEMENT.
What Has Recently Been Accomplished in
This City.

We live in an age of improvement. AS
far back as the forties, when the Ole
Ketchum moving machine was invented,
notwithstanding it took four horses 10
pull it. it was SO far ahead OF the Ola
style of moving with the snatch
and scythe, that it was hailed
as one of the great inventions
of that decade. Later came
the improvements known as the BUCK
eve, Wood, etc, whereby one horse couid
do the same amount of work with one
half the exertion as the original four.
And thus it is in every line of modern
civilization we find many examples
showing thatIwe live in an age of i'm
provement that includes every line OF
human achievement.
A few years ago came the invention of
the "Oxydonor Victory" and the "Elec-
trop Disc" inventions which make radical
changes in the cure of disease by new
application of certain principles IN
physics that is fraught with greater
good for the amelioration of human
suffering than any other invention of this
wisest of the centuries. And now IN
keeping with the growing mind of this
age-tO do, and thrive-came a few
months ago the grand improvement on
those inventions, and which was very
aptly named the "Electrickure, and
which, likeIas the example above given,
puts it as far ahead, in force and certain
ty of action, of it's predecessors Jas the
performance of a steam engine is superior
TO wheelbarrow; hence in the curing OF
all diseases by this new process it has nc
competitors.
The Electrikure is an instrument for
curing all diseases without the use CT
medicine, or the use of any other sub
stance whatever, and is safe in its
operation, reliable in it's effects, and
can be used by all pers 0ns readily, profit,
ably and successfully.
It is the practical application of the
greatest discovery of this age for the
cure of all human ills, which mskes it
folly to be sick. Send for the late
pamphlet, electricity is Life" which
/ explains it all and tells of many bona
| fide cures.
If you are suffering and want relief,

Look Out

for breakers ahead when pimples, boils,
C ,rbuncles and like manifestations of
impure blood appear. They wouldn't
appear if your blood were pure and your
system in the right condition. They
show you whit you need-a good blood
purifier; that's what you get when you
take Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical DE-
covery.'
1t carries health with it. All Blood,
Skin and Scalp Diseases, from common
blotch or eruption to the worst Scrofula,
are cured by it. 1t invig rates the liver,
purifes and enriohes the blood. and
rouses every organ into healthful acti on.
In the most stubborn forms of Skin Dis
eases, such as Salt-rheum, Eczem a,
letter ErysipelaS, Carbuncles. and
kindred ailments, and with Scrofula in
every shape, and all bloOd-taints, if it
fails to cure, you have your money back.
And that makes it the cheapest blood
purifier sold.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

"A new religious sect has been start

heaven every little while and find out
what God wants the members to do.
Contrary to what might be expected, the
members had no difficulty whatever in
finding a man who was both able and
willing to fly to heaven as often as was
desired. But when he makes the trip he
insists on being absolutely alone.

To AndersOnYille.

The excursion to Andersonville from
a wide section of Georgia came off as
usual this year. On Thursday there were
between ten and fifteen thousand negroes
at the national cemetery there, and a
large number of G. A. r. men. Every
thing went off quietly, and the fears of
those who expected riot proved ground
less. Had it not been known that steps
had been taken to suppress any outbreak
there might have been a repetition of the
scenes of last year, or possibly something
worse. Many of The negroes from about
Dawson went on the excursion.

ROBERT TYLER JONES, grandson OF
President Tyler, and one who possessed
the unique distinction of being the only
male child ever born in the White House,
has recently died at his home in Wash
ington. He was student of the Uniyer-
sity of Virginia when the civil war broke
out. and at once entered the confederate
service. In the battle of Gettysburg he
was one of the two men left on the color
guard in Armistead's brigade when the
terrible charge was made on Cemetery
Ridge. He carried the flag up the fatal
slope and twice was struck, once in the
arm, falling at the stone wall which
proved so fatal a point for many brave
men. Armistead himself seized the flag
from the color bearers hand and carried
it within the works, where he, too, fell
mortally wounded.

BUYS MORE THAN 1T SELLS.

The greatest trouble with this country
is that it pays out more than it gets IN,
buys more than it sells, mortgages its fu-
ture and imports what should be made at
home. No change in the money coinage
will cure these evils. Our people must
be set at work making more of what we
buy. Replete the treasury from import
duties, so we can pay as we go and the
working man can have money to buy
home products with. Then things will
90 along as they use to and everybody
will be too busy to think about currency
tinkering.

The evangelists of New England held
a convention in Boston, recently, during
which they paid especial attention to
prohibition in Maine. They seemed to
think that, hwithstanding the prohi-
hilton law, rum, in portions of the state,
is the only beverage in use, and they
characterized the state generally as the
''seat of satan" Evangelist Blair said
it was very wrong to send missionaries
to Asia and Africa and neglect tentirely
this wicked and destitute state An
other brother told of large sections of the
state in which no church sevices had
been held for years, and where the dead
were sometimes buried without even a
clergyman's prayer. From these reports
it appears that there are in Maine some
pretty tough communities.
