Free From
Rheumatism

If the people generally knew the true
cause of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as lini;nents aud lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact is, Rheumatism is a disordered
state OF the blood--it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood: But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma-
tisni, for it is an obstinate disease, one
which requires a ycek 5io0d ScHtely-
something more than s mere tonic.
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable TO cure Rheu-
'natism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe gre potash and
mercury, and though temporary relief
may result, these remedies produce
stiffness of joints and only intensity the
disease. These who have had experience
with Rheumatism < now that it becomes
more severe each year.

Areat 4 New Court House.

To the Editor % tie Raaaes
The grand jury in their present
ment called attention 20 the necessity
OF some better protection for the valu-
able records of the clerks office, but
made no suggestion rs to an economi-
cal method of securing such protec-
ton. TO built q new court house, in
the present condition of the county,
Is not to be thought OF for when the
customary job" that some of the
leaders always get, is added to the
actual cost of construction, the eX-
pense will not be much below S75,O0O.
To saddle such an item of cost on our
people III their present distress and
poverty would be CRIME, besides
which, the ex-county boards dance
hall paies into insignificance.
It is not absolutely necessary that
the clerk should be domicIled in the
court house. In fact there are many
arguments in favor of having his
office detached. The additional safe
ty and econrmy Of separate build
ing is sufficient fer my present par-
pose.
A handsome and comm0dious and
perfectly fire proof Office could be
built on one corner of the square fer
the accommodation OF the clerk and his
valuable records at price but little
in excess of the sum spent by our
wise or otherwise county commits
sioners for O dance hall. This Office
should be built almost entirely Of
brick and iron with handsome plate
glass front and paved with granite.
The record cases should be built into
the walls and the racks for books
have rollers SO as TO save the expense
of frequent rehinding of the heavy
books of record The work, including
furniture in keeping with the Office,
should cost, if we could keep out
all 'Jobbing," not exceeding $4,000.
The Office now occupied by the clerk
could he given to the county judge,
the vault being sufficiently large to
accommodate his records. A new court
house has for q long time been u
"Banquo's ghost" that would not
down at the bidding, but if the clerk
WAS provided for rs suggested above
the ghost would be effectually laid.
Now, if this plan does not suit the
aesthetic taste of the powers that be,
and they desire something that shall
be more ornate aud tasteful-more in
keeping with our handsome p and
elegant ~ If not commodiOus, court
house -something in fact, with more
sugar in it, let them add a tower to
each corner Of the court house, max
ing the lower corner Of each fire.
proof vault and the upper portions for
offices and court purposes. Such
towers properly proportioned and con-
structed would relieve, in a measure,
the barn-like appearance of the I'M
slightly pile that has so long been an
eye sore and reproach to the good peo-
pie Of Marion county. The cost of
such additions should not be more
than $4,000 or $1,000 and while mate
rally increasing the office room,
could be so made as to change an I'M
slightly barn into something like a de
cent structure.
If this addition had been made five
years ago and one of the vaults fur
nished with a burglar proof safe for
the county treasurer we would have
saved many times the cost of the i'm
pro vements. Respectfully,
w. \. DICKINSON.

/ notice that the 'good man" gives
Mr.. Wilson the credit for having in
fiuenced the Farmers Alliance to hold

statement by printing the article in
his paper without correction. In his
lifetime Mr.. John +. Dunn was cred
tied with this piece of enterprise. To
have Ocala thus honored it was claim
ed that he went down in his pockets
to the extent of over six thousand
dollars. Now, that Mr.. Dunn is no
