Ward's Woes. Maxey's, Ga., January, 1880. For twelve or fourluon yours I havo been a great snflcrer from a terrible form of blood poison which ran into tho secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, fuco and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I bocauio so horribly repulsive that for throo years I absolutely refused to let pnoplo soo mo. I used largo quantities of most noted blood remedies and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but my condition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones became thu sent of excruciating aches and pains j my nights were passed in misery; I was reduced in flesh and strength ; my kidneys woro torribly deranged, and life became a burden to mo. I chanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B. and sent one dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and: they procured one bottle for me. It was j used with decided benefit, and when eight ! or ton bottles had been used I was pro- j nounced sound and well. Hundreds of scars can now bo seen on me, lookins like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for tho benefit of others who may bo similarly affected, I think it my duty to give the facts to tho public, and to extend my heart felt thanks fot so valuable a remedy. I have been well over twelve months, and no return of tho disease has occurred. ROBT5BT AVARD. Maxeys Ga., January, 1886. "Wo, the undersigned, know Mr. Robert Ward, and take great plo'aauro in saying that tho facts above slated by him arc true, and that his was one of tho worst cases of Blood Pois-. on we over knew of in our county and that he has boon cured by the use of B.

Ellettsville Citizen : Last week our enterprising farmer, W. B. Walden, cut six acres of clover which he feels confident yielded over three tons to the acre. At a second cutting he may get over two tons to the acre, making at least five tons. What crop could pay better than this? The excursion run to NewAlbany on Tuesday a week by the M. E. S. S., under charge of Ben.
Adams jr., Frank Woolley and Waldo Vauzaudt was a success in
every particular. There were 475 passengers on the tram, and the
net profits footed up just 179.00.
It is rumored that the men
