Uniust Tax

From the Dadeville New Era.
 It is very evident that the establishment of district agricultural schools, throughout the state, is a failure; and at the meeting of the next general assembly, steps should be taken towards the discontnuance of the . appropriations set aside for their main tenanee. This is another variety of class one Community being benefited while the general public suffers. Talla- poosa contributes, annually, about $4 900 to- wards the maintenance of these schools, and as yet we have been unable to learn of but one pupil from this county who is attending any of these institutions. From this showing, one can readily see the in- justice of imposing this tax upon our peo- pie.

There Are Good Men

From the Florence Times.
 The Age-Herald very properly urges that there should be an improvement in our public school system, which 1t character izes as rotten from top to bottom" That paper wants reform to commence at the top of the system, with the state superin- tendent, which office 1t implies, has been filled more with view of repaying for political service than for special qualifica- tion. We don't know whether this is SO, or not; but if 1t is, 1t is a shame upon the state-its politicians particularly What we need is practical school man of energy and enterprise, up-to-date in methods and who has shown his zeal and interest in the good of the people by past labor. We have such men. Let us bring them to the front.

Hn Interesting Event.

Probably no event of recent years has taken place in this city that has caused as widespread and deep interest as the public an nouncement made by Dr. Harter that he had sent his representative to Birmingham with instructions to have 1t made known in as pub lie manner as possible that he proposed to place prominently on the market preparation known as Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, that would cure all diseases arising from impure blood, stomach and bowel troubles, etc.
 An announcement of such im- portance, coming from such a source, means much for the well fare of this community.
 There is nothing so precious as good health. Without it happi- ness is impossible Failure to succeed in business is eight times out of ten due to an impure condi- tion of the blood, consequently an impaired condition of the stomach. If the blood and stomahc are out of order no man or woman can have the energy necessary to sue ceed in life.
 Anamia and dyspepsia are the bane of the American people. In stead of being strong and healthy, as our forefathers were, we are just the reverse due, as general rule, to the "dlsh-watery" condition of the blood and the weak, unhealthy state of our digestive organs.
 1t will be both a satisfaction and a pleasure to the Doctor to note the change that is bound to take place in this city after the public generally become thorough ly alive to the value of his Iron Tonic.
 Dr. Harter guarantees it to be certain, speedy relief and cure for blood disorders. It regulates the digestive organs, being gentle stimulant and tonic to the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels, regulates the bowels, promotes healthy appetite and revives loss caused by overwork. Its action on the liver is simply perfect. It is worth it's weight in gold as general liver regulator.
 Sold everywhere. Sample dose Dr. Harter's Little Liver Pills and Book of Dreams mailed free. Address, Harter, Dayton, Ohio. )r. Harter'S Little Liver Pills
