Col. Joseph L. Follett of New York
has national reputation.
At the age of 21, Col. Follett enlist
ed in Battery c., First Missouri Light
Artillery, and soon rose to its com
mand. At Lookout Mountain, his was
the only Battery that reached the
summit.
Since the war he has devoted him
self to mechanical engineering, and
has invented several important i'm
provements on the sewing machine,
and n bicycle that promises to be one
of the surprises of next season.
The tension of the nervous system
of an inventor, kept up for months
and months, seriously weakened the
health of busy brain worker like
Col. Follett, and his constitution,
which even the hardships of war did
not weaken, threatens to succumb to
nervous exhaustion.
What Col. Follett has to say i'll re-
gard to his restoration to health can
not fail to carry great weight. In a
letter to Wells & Richardson Co., of
burlington, VT, he writes:
"When suffering from mental ex-
haustion and generally disorganized
system, and overwork, used Paine's
celery compound.
"The compound acted like charm
on my bowels and kept them i'll fine
condition, and experienced great re-
lief from my brain troubles.
II have not used Paine's celery
compound for six months, but / shall

regulator of the system. have recon-
mended it to great many, and every
| one who tried it got relief.
SIT is the best general remedy
ever used or knew anything about
When the nervous system has be-
come weakened from any cause,
Paiue's celery compound builds it up
as nothing else can. 1t makes people
well.
People in every walk of life have
reason to be grateful to Prof. Phelps
of Dartmouth, the eminent scientist
who discovered Paine's celery com
pound. He understood the peculiar
needs of the nervous system; he knew
that the backache, headache, sleep
lessness, loss OF appetite, and disor-
dered blood all mean that the nerves
are weakened and inadequate to the
demands upon them. The experience
of thousands has proven all over this
broad country that only Paine's celery
compound will give health to the
nerves, and through them to the en-
tire body.
Colleges conferred upon DR.. Phelps
their highest honors for his invalua-
BILE investigations in medicine, but all
this seems Insignificant in comparison
with the chorus of gratitude that has
gone up all over the world from men,
women, and children, who have out
grown weakness and the lack of health
by the use of Paine's celery COM
pound, the most wonderful nerve and
blood restorative.

FACE ON HER THIGH.
Most Remarkable Human Freak Ever
Known.

From the St Louis Republic
The most remarkable human mon
strosity that ever saw the light of day
upon the American continent is little
Estanislao Arichi, a seven-year- old
Mexican girl, who resides with her
foster parents near the little village
of Morelia, in the State of Aguascal-
lentas. The first that was known of
the existence of this rarest of all hu
man beings was when a Mexican pa
per made the following brief state
ment:
''Within the past few days there
has been brought from Charo to Mo-
relia little girl who has a second
face on the right hip, between the
hip joint and the knee. If you COM
press the cheeks of this queerly sit
uated face it opens it's eyes. The face
has mouth containing three pearly
teeth, but the nose is entirely want
ing.''
Six months after the publication of
the above physician of Morelia sue
ceeded in gathering the following facts
relative to this queer case: When
she had been in the world about two
years an inflammation of the whole
region of the right thigh set in,
which finally developed in an enor-
nous humorous cyst. Then, by de-
grees, there appeared an eye, an
eyebrow, one nostril of the nose,
curly lashes, and, finally, the other
brow. Next appeared one row of
four teeth, and then the "bangs" be-
gan to grow rapidly and fringe the
forehead. Taken all in all, it is one
of the most singular freaks in the hu-
man family that have been reported
during this century.
The freak has been described in the
papers of both Vera Cruz and Mexico
City, the account creating considera-
BILE comment among the medical fra
ternity of both places.

KILLED BY A FALLING METEOR.
Mother and Children Buried in the
Side of q Kentucky
Mountain.

HINDMAN, KY, March 19.-The peo-
pie of this vicinity are very much ex-
ercised over the report just received
here that large mass of stone and
cinder looking substance has fallen
on the side of Pine Mountain, which
is located on Greasy Fork of the Ken
lucky River, about twenty-five miles
from this place. Persons living in
the vicinity say they were startled by
a whirring sound and then crash.
Large stones and chunks of black
substance came rolling down the side
of themountain, scattering in every
direction for hundreds of yards along
the valley.
The house of Mrs. Hester Yates,
situated upon the side of the noun
tain, was demolished, the logs being
scattered in every direction, and the
woman and her family, consisting of
several small children, buried beneath
the debris. The hard substance was
over half buried in the mountain side,
but striking solid rock had burst
into hundreds of pieces.
The neighborhood is SO alarmed
that it is impossible to obtain accurate
details. People turned out for miles
around and began searching for the
bodies of Mrs. Yates and her children,
but they have been found.

Who are Democrats?
From the shelbina Democrat.


We answer, ali who are ready to
support the platform and ticket of the
national Democratic convention. Men
who bolt are not good Democrats.
For more than quarter of century
we have battled with all our power for
the principles of the great Democratic
party, and we expect to continue this
fight so long as We have the power to.
During all this time We have found the
Democratic party much nearer right
than the Republican. Hence, as we
have found it SO in the past, we ex-
pect to find it so in the future.
We have often differed from many
of our fellow Democrats on some
questions, as we had right to differ;
and we have never hesitated to de-
clare our convictions. They, too, had
a right to differ from us, and We have
never denied them the right; but we
have always stood for the truth as we
saw it. There is now a wide difference
between Democrats on the money
question. But tndL uOSS uOt CAUSE Ouc
party or the other to cease to be
Democrats. Here and there man on
one extreme or the other talks of re-
fusiDg to support the party unless his
views on the money question are en-
grated into the platform; but we are
glad to know there are few Democrats
urb "a
Ours is the party of economy and
low taxes. If the Republicans get
in power we know full well what they
will do. We know full well that our
pockets will bleed in consequence. 1t
is then duty we owe ourselves and
our families to keep them out. Though
our views on the money question
should not prevail, we shall not cease
TO be Democrats; nor shall we abate
one iot or iota of our efforts for the
success of the party. We think that is
the way for ali true Democrats to talk
and act; and such are true Democrats.

His
Lip Gone!

There is not more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows hin, by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, a small piece of court pias-
ter, not larger than 4 silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man is
NJ. NJ. Nicholson. who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed tiny scale, like 4 piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only 4 fever blister, but it
was not long before his checks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen d
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious

A LARGE ENTERPRISE.
Wants to Locate IN Mexico-Letter to
the Board of Trade.

The following letter, addressed to
the Board of Trade, Mexico, Mo-, will
be of interest to our readers:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 20.-DEAR
SIRs: We wish to open correspond
ence with view to locate a stove
and range works and general jobbing
foundry to employ about fifty hands
and to run from 4S to SO weeks in each
year. We have a plant valued at
S22, 900 and our patterns are of the
latest designs. The parties | repre-
sent are experienced Eastern stove
men, capable in every branch of stove
manufacturing. We intend to bring
with us from the East twelve families
and the rest of our help we will hire
at point of location. We think that
such an industry that we wish to
locate should receive substantial aid
from the town in which we locate, of
say $25, 900. Twelve thousand dollars
on completion of foundry, 81, 900 on
completion of first stove, $4,000 at the
end of first year, $4,000 at the end of
second year and site also free from
local taxation for say two years.
Hoping to hear from you in regard to
the above, remain
Yours Respectfully,

How to Judge a Horse,

First. Never take the sellers word.
If disposed to be fair, he may have
been the dupe of another, and will de-
ceive you through representations
which cannot be relied on.
Second Never trust horses
mouth as sure index of his age.
Third. Never buy horse while in
motion; watch him while he stands at
rest, and you will discover his weak
points. If sound he will stand firmly
and squarely on his limbs without
moving any of them; feet planted up
on the ground, with legs plump and
naturally poised. If one foot is thrown
forward with the toe pointing to the
foot is lifted from the ground and the
weight taken from it, disease of the
navicular bone may be suspected, or
at least tenderness, which is a precur-
out, the toe raised, and the heel
brought down, the horse has suffered
from lamnitus, founder, or the back
sinews have been sprained, and he is
of little future value. When the feet
are all drawn together beneath the
horse, if there has been no disease,
there is a displacement of the limb,
at least, and weak disposition of the
muscles. If the horse stands with his
feet spread apart, or straddles with
his hind legs, there Is a weakness of
the loins, and the kidneys are disor-
dered. When the knees are bent and
totter and tremble, the beast has been
ruined by heavy pulling, and will new
er be right again, whatever rest and
treatment he may have. Contracted
or Informed hoofs speak for them
selves.
Fourth. Never buy horse with a
blush or milky coat in his eyes. They
indicate constitutional tendency to
ophthalmia, moon blindness, &c.
Fifth. Never have anything to do
with horse who keeps his ears
thrown backward. This is an invari-
able indication of bad temper.
Sixth. If the horses hind legs are
SCARED, the fact denotes that he is a
dog.
Seventh. If the knees are blemished
the horse is apt to stumble.
Eighth. When the skin is rough,
and harsh, and does not move easily
and smoothly to the touch, the horse
is heavy eater and digestion is bad.
Ninth. Avoid horse whose respir-
atory organs are at all impaired. If the
ear is placed to the heart and a
wheezlng sound is heard it is an indi
cation OF trouble.
