The Georgia Election.

ATLANTA, Oct. 9--OGcial returns
from majority of the counties Of the
State show that the Democratic major
ity for the State ticket 10 Wednesday, s
election will run largely over SO. 600.
Governor Atkiusou's majority falls be-
low this seversl thousand. but this fact
is due to a local fight on the ticket.
Later returns co axe practically no change
IN the complexion of the Legislature.
Ooe notable feature is the fact that
the Democrats have carried the Ten,b

Through devious ways. He mapped my

I cannot change it mine alone the toll
To keep the waters free from CRIME and
soil
The winding river ends where 1t began;
And when my life has comprised it's brief
span
must return to that mysterious source.
So let me gather daily on my course
The perfume from the blossoms as pass.
Balm from the pines and healing from the
grass,
And carry down my current as go
Not common stones but precious gems to
show
And tears (the holy water from sad eyes,
Back to Gods sea, which from all rivers
rise,
Let me convey; not blood from wounded
hearts,
Nor poison which the upas tree imparts.
When over fowery wales leap with JOY,
Let me not devastate them, nor destroy,
But rather leave them fairer to the sight.
Mine be the lot to comfort, and delight.
And If down awful chasms | needs must
leap,
Let me not murmur at my lot, but sweep
On bravely to the end without fear,
Knowing that He who planned my ways
stands near.
Love sent me forth, to Love go again,
For Love is all, and over all, Amen.

Dr.PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Goes Minety-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, In all Its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
b1e tl1ei is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that in all its
earlier stages consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
centaPe of cases, and we believe, /mIlT %
Der cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss OF flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced By the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses i'll curative power over this
fatal malady all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
6t or had only seemed to benefit a little for
q short time. Extract of malt whskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried i'll vain.

Potash for Orchards.

Muriate of potash may be applied on
apple orchards at the rate of 200 to 300
pounds per acre, preferably in the
spring of the year after the orchards
are plowed and before they are cult
waited. If it is not proposed to pillow
them this spring, then SOW broadcast as
soon as the ground is in condition to
work and cultivate most thoroughly,
oven though there may be some grass,
with cutaway harrow off in any way
which will incorporate the potash with
the surface soil. In order to get the
best results the orchard should be kept
cultivated up to about the middle of
July, when crimson vIover at the rate
of ten pounds per acre might be sown
and cultivated in and the ground
rolled Country Gentleman.

TraDsplanting Large Trees.

We prefer doing this in the spring,
and would prepare for it now. If you
want to move moderately large tree,
say, four, five, or even six inches in
diameter of trunk, next spring, head
in its top now all you think ought to be
done at planting time, then mark ring
on the ground around and four, five,
six or more feet away from the stem,
the distance away depending on the
size of the tree. Now, along, but out
side of this ring mark, dig a narrow
trench, say, three feet deep, the object
being to cut away all roots projecting
beyond it, and fill up the trench at once
with the same soil that came out of it.
by spring the tree will have fairly re-
covered from the shock caused by cut
ting in root and top, and may be dug up
aud transplanted with fair chances of
success.-Gardeninr
