NOTES HILL.

Myl examination came again this
week-The beautiful spring like
days-Thursday and Friday, were en-
joyed by all the students-The Alpha
Sigma Society has elected its officers
for the coming term as follows: Presi-
dent, R. NJ. Huflne; Vice President, Jas.
Grisham; Secretary Bert Simpson. The
Society welcomed the young ladies as
visitors Friday afternoon, and hope
they may come again-It was too
cold a portion of last week to 60 the
hall for devotional exercises. 1t takes
too much heat to supply the hall and
rooms below at the same time when it
is very cold---Prof. Sherrill's Ninth
Grade Rhetoric class is taking a thor
ough course in letter writing. We un.
derstand they are very much interested.
This looks rather suspicious--The
Tenth Grade will have its final exami-
nation in Cicero the last of the week.
The rest of the term will be spent in
Vlrgil-The Ninth Grade will soon
have its final examination in Physics,
after which Physical Geography will
be studied-Prof Sheriff. wishes us to
say that he is very sorry Mabel Ma
sons lame by mistake was omitted
from the names in the paper as be-
longing to the Roll of Honor for the
months of November and December.
Such mistakes will gladly be corrected
when reported-We propose to be-
gin next week to give the advantages
Of our course of Study and of the
methods by which it is taught. We
believe we have as good a course of
study to its length as can be found in
the State and we propose to show its
advantages to those whom may not
know them-Look out for the Roll
of Honor next week.

CROORSHANKS.

1t is absolutely ridiculous to think Of
the ruts of corruption into which poll.
tics has fallen. The above does not
have reference to politics as a science
of government, for as such, it is as pure
as the memorable exclamation, "give
me liberty or give me death" was earn.
est. But it has reference to the very
low estimate placed upon it by a certain
class of voters of today. (Such voters
would have been designated as traitors
in the earlier days of the R%epublic.) 1t
has reference to the degradation
brought upon it by men devoid of true
governmental principle, and so stepped
in purely, paltry, political prejudice
that the safety of the nation is in jeop-
ardy. 1t has reference to the ignorance
and the triiing rascality which is now
prevalent on election grounds and at
the ballot box, and which is bringing,
year by year a singing disgrace and an
~unspeakable shame upon that sacred
privilege which alone guarantees the
prosperity, the peace, and the happiness
of the people, and the security of our
W free institutions. The above is
also equally applicable to those hilari
Gus, high flying haranguers, and politi.
cal tricksters which flood the country
with their fippapt, foppish, foul mouth
ed foolishness; flying upon faulty f.
nancial fares to fame, rather than upon
their own merits which they never pos
sessed. But such will be the case until
a generation of citizens appear in the
national arena who love their country
as did those who uttered such sayings
as ''let not your fair record be marred
by any rash proceedings" Govern.
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed" ''Gov'
eminent of the people, by the people,
and for the people," But, alas, how
far we have strayed from such senti'
ments. We have, instead, governments
of the few, by the few, and for the few.
Party prejudice has taken the place OF
genuine politics in almost everything,
Its evil effects are plainly seer in all
vocations of life. 1t selects national
officers, it selects State, county and dis
trict officers. 1t is in the great and
grand work of education, doing its mis-
chief. 1t selects the State superintend
ent, the county superintendent, the dis
trict directors, the teachers, and, if i
continues it will soon select patron;
and pupils. 1t even gets into tn,
church. The Lord only knows wher,
it will end; you can't prove it by FED

How a Great Story Was Written.

The history of any great and success
full undertaking is always interesting,
therefore at the risk of being accused
of violating personal confidence, we
tell our readers of the origin of a fa-
nous story of the late war. The pub
fishers of the Chicago Ledger wanted q
story which, besides being a love story
of great merit, should wildly describe
the thrilling events of the battle of
Gettsburg and the seige of Richmond.
One author after another failed in the
work, and at last the famous st. George
Rathburne was approached on the SUBJ
ject. He demanded q fabulous price
for the work, but it was paid, and the
story was actually written to order. 1t
is, however, printed under the pen
name of Hugh Allen" 1t is declared
by critics, who have been shown the ad-
n sheets, to be the best story of the
war ever written. The first ihstalment
Of it appeared in No. 8, Vol. xiii of
the Ledger, and at once attracted the
greatest attention. A private letter
from the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people, the pub
fishers of the Ledger will mail the open
ing chapters of the story free of charge
to all who send in their names at once
The Ledger is a great paper, and each
week gives story matter enough to make
a dollar book. Address The Chicago
| Ledger, Chicago, Ill.

Five years ago few persons in Alnerica

2. 1t costs only 25c., when the
same medicines if purchased separately
would cost so to 75c.

From the Mill Spring Steam Mill.

The writer has been at the steam
mill, in the Cummings building, at the
Mill Spring, Jonesboro, nearly every
day since it started and will say here
that it is certainly one of the best lit.
tie mills in the county. The engine is
only a four horse power. The mill is
one of Bradford Milling Co.'S. make, of
Cincinnati, Ohio. The buhrs are fine
French burhs. In short, the whole
outfit is first class. The miller says he
can grind from six to ten bushels per
hour. They grind every day in the
week. They grind corn and chop.
They also guarantee satisfaction. The
company is composed and operated by
Sol Onks, Sr. partner and Engineer;
H. NJ. Slagle, Miller and Bookkeeper.
Mr.. Onks is a practical engineer, hav.
ing had more than thirty years exper-
fence. A visit to his engine room will
convince anyone of that fact, as his
engine runs as smooth as oil. Mr..
Slagle, who has had some seventeen
years experience as a miller, and is
also a practical mechanic. Therefore
first class work is their watchword.
Take your corn to the steam mill and
you won't have time to hitch your
horse until your grist is ground. This
company told the writer that they had
come to stay, and the run of grinding
to this time had surpassed their expec'
tations. One of the members told your
scribe that they intended to put in
other machinery in the spring. They
will put in a planer, band saw and
emery wheel. Their motto is accomo
dalton and promr.ness. JonesborC
and surrounding community should
encourage this enterprise.

From One Who Tried 1t.

A. D. Reynolds:
My Dear Sir:-I heartily endorse the
many encomiumsp passed upon the water
from Ashley's Spring by those who
have had ar opportunity to test its cur
alive virtues. l regard the water espec-
tally curative in the chronic disorders
of females associated with prostration
of the nervous system; old standing
cases of uterine trouble, associated with
the usual physical and mental debility,
will quickly and permanently rally
from the use of this water, and but lit
tie other medical treatment. l can also
recommend this water in the affection
known as Bright's Disease; my expert
ence with it in this disease having been
sufficient to justify the above opinion.
l could mention several cases, but will
only give the details of one: Mrs. Matte
A. was sent to me from Colorado two
years since with a typical case of
chronic parenchymatous nepritis, a
species of Bright's Disease. She was
swelled until she was entirely out of
human shape. All the usual remedies
had been tested and failed; her physi-
clans had despaired of ever prolonging
her life but a few weeks. When she
was turned over to me for treatment
she presented every evidence of a speedy
dissolution, and l confess my faith was
hardly as much as the grain of mustard
seed. However, she was placed on the
water from Ashley's Spring in addition
to her medical treatment, and in a very
short while the albumen began to d.
minish in her urine, the swelling de-
creased; and every symptom showed
evident signs of improvement. She has
been kept on the water from the time
she commenced until now, any other
medical treatment having long since
been discontinued. The entire swelling
had left her in three months from be-
ginning of treatment, and there has
been IN entire absence of albumen in
her urine for q year. / have her urine
brought to my Office every few months
and make a test of it, and always with
negative results, for the last twelve
months. She says that SIZE is as strong
as ever and her health is better. 1
make this detailed statement, hoping
that some poor sufferer may be bene-
flied thereby. Very truly, j. o. WILL

Like 4 Girl of Sixteen

is the way the Electropoise makes old
folks feel.
Kobe, KY, July 2, 1894,
Dear Sirs-I am sixty five years old
today and my wife is fifty eight; with
the help of the Electropoise, and bar
ring accidents, we expect to reach IL
hundred. The Electropoise has proved
itself such an enemy of disease, aches
and pains, that it is almost impossible
for the two to remain under the same
roof, and when they do come together
it is not long until the Electropoise is
the victor. One thousand dollars
would he no inducement for me to
part with it; money could not buy it
/ think it is the greatest life saver of
the age, besides a money saver as we'll.
1t has never failed to relieve pain in
thirty minutes. A neighbor lady
%sprained her ankle badly, it panied
her 80 she could not eat or sleep; in "a
half hour the Electropoise had relieved
the pain and greatly reduced the swell
ing. Sun pain in the eye, ~toothache,
and boil l have relieved in a few min
utes. Rheumatism cured in a few APP
plications; in fact aches and pains will
flee from an ~Electropoise like snow
from the MONDAY sun. 1t makes old
folks feel young again. l have been
unable to work for twelve years until
this summer. work on my farm and
don t get tired. My wife was not able
to do any work, now she gets around
