Vacation Time

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed
by all, especially those whose duties
in life have caused them to greatly
run down their system to meet the
requirements, physical and mental,
forced upon them. With these ana
others, it is important, whether at
home, at the seashore or in the
country, that some thought be given
to diet, and as further assistance to
Nature, good buildipg-up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla had best be
resorted to. If the digestion is poor,
liver deranged and frequent head
aches seem 10 be the rule, Hoods will
change all this and enable everyone
to return to their home and business
in a refreshed state of mind and
bodily health. "a

A Life Saved.

Jamestown, Tenn, October Is, 1891.
My daughter tried physicians and
nearly all remedies for Female irreg-
ularities, but received no relief or
benefit whatever. We had nearly
dcspaired of her recovery when we
were induced by our postmaster,
Mr.. A. A. Gooding. to try Gerstle's
Female Panacea, and after using four
bottles she was entirely cured, for
which I feel it my duty to let it be
known to the world and suffering
humanity, for I believe she owes her
life to the Panacea. A. J. MACE,
Sheriff of Fentress County, Tenn.

SILENCEO BY A JOKE.
Why Congressman Grain Never Delivered
Another Speech In the House.

Why Congressman Grain Never Delivered
Another Speech In the House.
The death CT Congressman William b.
Grain of Texas removed from political
life ore of the brightest minds in tie
south.
Mr.. Grain used to be one Of the lead
ers Of tho house. He never spoke with
out the greatest attention, for he always
spoke we'll. For five years past, how
ever, Mr.. Grain has practically taken
no part in the proceedings Of the house.
His usefulness was destroyed by a joke
"a joke from which he never recovered.
Mr.. Grain was first elected to the
Forty ninth congress. He was hand
some in appearance, we'll posted on ali
subjects, all orator, and man cf great
personal magnetism. These qualities
Immediately brought him to the front.
His first speech in congress made him a
name. The newspaper correspondents
took a great fancy to him, and often
wrote aattering articles about him.
It was during the Fifty-frst congress
that he was sitting in the Press club
one afternoon discussing politics with
party'of newspaper men. To one CT
them he remarked upon the fact that
when some men spoke all the corre-
spondents left the gallery and retired
to the lobby, while when others ad-
dressed the house they crowded into the
house to hear. He added that he noted
they always came in to hear him, and
be expected all Of them to be present
on tho next day, when he expected to
make the speech Of his life on the Nc
Kinley tariff bill.
The next morning the press gallery
was crowded to hear the debate. There
were several speakers to precede Mr.
Grain. During their speeches the gal
lery remained full, but the moment Mr..
Grain took the floor every correspondent
in the gallery arose and filed out into
the lobby. 1t was arranged en- the part
Of tho correspondents as little joke on
the Texan.
The concerted action Of tho CORE
spondpts naturally had its effect upon
Mr. Grain. It annoyed him SO that he
cut his speech short and quickly resumed
his scat. The moment he did all the
correspondents filed back into the gal
lery and listened TO the ctber speeches.
Though given to joking himself, Mr..
Grain could never realize the joke of it.
From that day to the day Of his death
be never delivered another set speech in
the house, and rarely ever said anything
on the floor. It was a shock from which
he never recovered. Atlanta Constitu-

A Chance For Zola.

In spite of the fact that NJ. Zola did
net score one vote for the French Acad-
emy at the late election, his success, &C.
cordirg to NJ. Claretie is not unlikely
at the next election to fill the fauteuil
of Dumas. If Dumas had been alive,
NJ. Zola would not have been without
vote on this occasion, for, as is known,
the former took all active and friendly
interest in his candidature. The knowl-
edge that such was the case will have
its influence when Dumas own success
sor is chosen Moreover, says NJ. Clar-
etie, old literary quarrels are being for
gotten, and the opposition Of certain OF
the conservative 40 is waxing weaker.

An Odd Lawsuit,

The salt Of Marquis di Marescotti of
Bologna, Italy, against the Princess
Anna Maria Torlonia Of Rome, which
has just come to al end in the former
city, has excited widespread interest. 1t
had curious origin. In 1921 Torlonia
was married to Marescotti and brought
him a marriage gift considerably less
than had been promised. The marquis
of that time sued for the difference, and
the present marquis received verdict Of
$1,000 francs against the family.

An Editors View of an Owners Rights.

Isrpposo that The Pail Mall Gazette
costs its owner, Mr.. Astor, good deal
OF money, and. if it pleases him to pay
for an organ, it seems only reasonable
that he should insist upon its advocating
his views rather than those of MIR. Gust,
or Mr. Any One Else. These views are,
in the case of Mr.. Astor, peculiar, if, as
Mr. Gust says, he was ordered to insist
that the Radicals lost the last general
election owing to Sir William Har-
courts budget. But what Of that: l

GEEESro, Miss, May 9Th, 1892.
Although I never used any secret
remedies before, I prescribe St.
Joseph's Sarsapariila in my practice
as would any prescription of my
own compounding, and any physl-
clan who will do the same will be
greatly pleased at the results
achieved. In my opinion it is supe-
