Who're Decay and Neglect Have Made Sad
Havoc.
A stranger visiting the island of Cor
fu, writes q correspondent, cannot but
be struck with the evidence of whatthe
country must have been before 1863,
when it was presented, with the other
islands of the group, to King George on
his advent to the throne. The very
verdure with which it is cIad-that is
to say, the olive trees-wer planted by
the English. Now, where a tree dies,
it's place is not filled, but there remains
a gap. On the hillsides those gaps are
growing larger and more numerous
every year. The condition on the
streets of the capital is bad enough;
that of the smaller towns and of the vii
lagos is worse. The roads are neglect
cd, and so full of holes that the pleasure
of a drive in the country is sadly married
by the formidable jolting. AS for the
old and new forts of Corfu, which were
real strongholds when the English pos
sessed the land, they have been allowed
t . go to ruin, SO that they are now
absolutely worthless as a means of de-
Tense.

Music and MoIars.

There is a dentist in San Francisco
who is noted for his musical tastes and
his high charges. His ordinary fee is
SIS per hour; his extraordinary fee is
unknown. Some time ago a lady was
in his chair, and the dentist was con-
,ersing with her while her mouth was
filled with rubber ua1ns and things.
Carried away by his enthusiasm while
talking of a certain song. he offered to
sing it for her. Taking an inarticulate,
rubber-intercepted sound for an af-
firmative, he skipped lightly to the
piano, which stood in one corner Of
the operating-room.- There he toyed
with Polyhymnia, the muse of music,
doubtless much to his satisfaction, and,
turning to his patient, asked how she
liked it. Every much indeed, DOCTOR"
came the reply in muffled tones, 'but
it would have been cheaper at a con-
cert, for here it has cost me $3.75."

MONARCHS STILL.
THE DAWSON BALL TOSSERS
YET CLAIM THAT TITLE.
Game With Cuthbert Friday Resulted
DisastriOusly for That Town. The
Grounds Were Bad.

| Grounds Were Bad.
The local base ball aggregation went
down to Cuthbert Friday to cross bats
with the team there. The large number
of runs can be accounted for by the
grounds. They were in wretched condi--
ton, and it was almost impossible to
field ball.
From beginning TO end the game was
clearly the visitors, who held the locals
down to six runs until the eigth inning,
when they let down and the locals scor
ed ten runs. Delaney, of Macon, pitch
ed for Cuthbert and Ritter, of Americus
caught. The Dawson boys PLAYED
strictly home team. The game in de-
tail was as follows:
Seay faced the Cuthbert fielders, the
first man up, and with broad smile up-
on his ruddy face pounded out two
Dagger from the first ball that came over
the plate. Baldwin famed, Saville hit
single to left and Seay scored McNul-
ty got clean two Dagger and Saville
scored. Query famed, Black got to
first on tumble at second and stole
home before Carver was thrown out at
first. The locals came in with four runs
against them. They were retired in one,
two, three order. The visitors failed to
score in the second. Cuthbert crossed
once in their half. Nothing important
occurred but errors, which could not be
avoided on the grounds, until the ninth,
when the score stood 10 to in favor of
the Dawson boys, who were broken COM
pletely dove from running the bases.
They scored in their half, making the
score 20 to 6. Cuthbert pounded the
ball out in the twilight and scored ten
men.

THE LOCK AND THE KEY.

You can operate lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
of it. Now, many so-called diseases
are in truth only forms of one dis
ease, branches of one tree, as we
may say. For example, if we can
nourish the body and enrich the
blood we speedily get rid of many of
our troubles, such as Anemia, Few
ers, Rheumatism, Scrofula and Blood
Disorders, ricketts, in children, and
so on,-all proofs that the body
lacks vitality and force. Nothing
is so useful as body-builder as Cod
Liver Oil, but alas, how many are
nauseated and upset at the very
thought of it. In WdmpoIe's
Preparation, made from Fresh
Livcrs, however, we have the rose
without the thorn ; the valuable
drug minus its vile taste.
Add to this the Hypophosphites, for
making bone, and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry for equally excellent
purposes, and we have n remedy indeed.
One as pleasing to the palate and stom-
ach as IL is potent and successful in ban
ishing disease in old or young, and
making life worth having. Try it and
you will agree with what we say about
IL, as our claims are supported by results.
Genuine has trade mark. All druggists.
