~ A salIow complexion, dizziness,

The experience Of many stock breed
ers and cattle raisers have developed
the fact that in times of cholera cpl
denies the famous 0. l. O. hogs, bred
by the L. b. Silver Co., OF Cleveland,
Ohio, are almost wholly exempt from
contagion. In sections where black
hogs have been swept off by thousands
the o. i. C.'s have escaped unaffected
So strong is the belief that these
hogs will resist the disease that the
firm that breeds them guarantees that
very o. /. G. hog purchased from
them, dying Of cholera will be re
placed at half price.
A guarantee OF this kind would
soon put a firm out of business unless
there was good ground for the claim
| that the hogs would repel the disease
Many years of successful breeding
and a reputation for fair bushes
dealings has established the o. /. Q
brand OF hogs as the premium bran'
Of the country. Every hog that
shipped is accompanied by a guaran
teed pedigree.
Interesting pamphlet giving full In
formation may be had on application
to L. B. Silver Co., 405 Hog Building

see the spirit of Improvement that is
taking hold Of the southern people.
have seen no better place in my travels
for a man to make money than In the
south, especially in the hotel business
It's a skin game from start TO finish in
a southern hotel. While the southern
people are high-toned, honorable men
| generally to do business with and viii
not stoop to a low or dishonorable act,
the hotel man OF the south seems
| blind to many OF the noble qualities
OF heart and head.
Times are pretty good, as a fair croT
of cotton, sugar cane, rice and tobacco
was raised and all are bringing good

All railroad trains are late here fol
months back on account OF heavy
