A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections Of the moro intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y. some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, a full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits, and made
| them Remedies Of KToe0ll Composition.
By this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.
Not only does the wrapper OF every bottle
of DR. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery, the
| famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid
| liver or biIiousneSS and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located, have printed upon 1t, an
Main English. a full and complete list of all

PICKED UP ABOUT PRESTON.
StOryetteS Told DURING the Session There This
Week.

This has been court week over in
Webster. For three days justice has
been ground out in the old frame build
ing there that serves as its temple. Not
that justice is oyerweighted with its
duties in Webster, for there is less law
lessness and litigation there than in
ninety per cent. of the counties of Geor-
gia, but there is still just enough bust
ness doing to'make legitimate excuse
for the farmers to harness up and come
to town from all over the diminutiVe
county, aud for the lawyers to come to-
gether, lay plans for future political
campaigns, and size up each others as
pirations and chances.
Webster is as hospitable as it is law
places about as much as any people in
Georgia. 1t is land not flowing with
milk and honey but overhowing with
what is better provender, fine young
turkeys, fat and tender pulets,
fresh country sausages, vegeta-
bles tender and crisp, and
fruit in season in abundance and
of the finest quality. Its people pass
life, not in the strenuous fas hion of the
city raised, but complacently and hap
PLY, enjoying the good things that
providence showers on them so abun-
dantly, and with ample time to enjoy
the sports and social festivities that
country life brings in its wake.

RECEIPTS OF AMERICUS

Business of POstOffiCe is

Official figures Indicate a Substantial
Growth of Business Here
What Was Done in First
Quarter.
RATE IS MORE THAN 500 A YEAR

For the quarter ending March 81,
the cash receipts of the Americus
postoffice were "a, ,35l.OS. For the year
ending March they were $40, 4S3.70
There is gradusl increase in the
business done at this Office, not sud
den expansion but slow, steady
growth.
When Postmaster Mitchell assum ed
charge the cash receipts OF the office
aggregated about $l3, 900 The rate of
increase has been al the rate OF about
500 year.
Athens reports that it has entered
the list of first class post offices, its
total receipts for the year being over
$4,000.
While Americus reports an increase
every year it will be long time, ap-
parently, before this city is entered un-
der the first class heading.
A few manufacturing establishments
would do considerable to swell the
volume of postal business of the city.

The Solicitor-General, by the way,

is a favorite. 1t may be old but it's
worth telling again.
The genial ex-senator, as every ybc Gy

sally of wit more than he, or enjoys q

quite often is, at his own expense.

General to Judge Worroll
The Judge had never heard it, al
though he had heard Bills laugh. .
We'll it was this way. We were on
the carstone day, and Bill was in extra
ordinary good humor. He had just
filled up on chicken pot pie and cocoa
nut custard and he looked on the world
and all it's folks with eyes of affection.
Several good stories had been told

story teller-and Bill had laughed q
little, juststo show me that he appre-
ciated the points
A stranger sat behind us. | guess
his liver must have been disorg anized,
or he had lost his pile on cotton futures
or he had fallen into the hands Of law
yers, or something like that.
Anyway, just after Bill had let out
one of his soft, melodously ripping
peals, that remind one of sweet silver
bells, the stranger touched him on the
shoulder.
MY friend, =" said he, Il would give
good deal to have that laugh of
yours
Bill felt complimented. l would
have been touched myself by such an
evidence of appreciation. So Bill
turned with smile that ilIumined his
face like halo of glory, and softly
said:
My friend, why would you wish to
have my laugh?'
$50 that I could cork it up and throw
it out the window" was the cruel re-
ply.
