Peddlers of scandal are never idle. As soon as they have rolled one morsel under their tongues till they tire of it, some fresh scandal is dished up by them to suit their morbid taste. “These are the spiders of society; They weave their pretty webs and ties and sneers. And Ue themselves In ambush for the spoil.” It will uot disappoint you. It is the best article known for purifying the blood and building up the health and strength.

The drunkard ia a burden to himself aa well aa hia friends; but, since intoxication becomes a disease, it requires a remedy of no unusual activity . Those who have taken Simmon's Liver Regulator declare that It sets the liver in action and invigorates the system in such a way as to destroy the craving for strong drinks.

Dr. R. R. Kiine as Secretary of the Board ot Health, is the right man in the right place.

We call their attention to the notice to physicians, accoucheurs, aud householders published in our legal advertising columns. The average length of life is on the iucrease. The science of medicine has made great progress: many diseases are paw controlled that were formerly ""thought incurable.

The law makes it the duty of ail postmasters to notify publishers of the non-delivery of the publications to subscribers. If for any reason a paper is uot called for, it is the dHty ot the postmasters to notify the publisher of the fact, living the reason why it remains dead in his office. The rule is for the protection of the publisher against loss as well as of the postmaster against unnecessary labor. A failure to comply with it subjects the offending postmaster to removal. It sanity is on the increase. Statistics show this, jlaiu cases are brought on by overwork, anxiety, ex«itemeut, mental trouble aud nervous prostration; it is also inherited. Invariably sleeplessness and constipation manifest themselves before one becomes insane. Constipation induces dyspepsia, jaiimUce, bad breath, piles, pimples, low spirits, headache, etc. Dr. Joues' lied Clover, Tonic relieves constipation, thereby curing these diseases. Price, 50 cents, of druggists. The newspaper fraternity congratulate themselves over the new postal law recently put into force by the postoffice department. It makes the taking of a newspaper and refusal to pay for the same, a theft, and anybody guilty of such an action is liable to criminal proceedings the same as if he had stuien goods to the amount of the subscription. Hereafterab will not be.a shrewd scheme to take a newspaper for a year and then inform, the publisher you never ordered it/ This is a pointer.—Princeton Democrat. The entertainmeut given by the M. E. church choir at Schaefer's hall on Friday night was a decided musical success. Though the members were, with two exceptions, very hoarse, ali the numbers of the excellent programme were exceedingly well rendered and were liberally applauded by the audience.

Young, the choir's leader, deserves praise for his work, aud lie and his church have cause to feel proud of their efficient choir.

James Pipes, who lives a short distance north of this place, went to Louisville a todays since, with several car loads of stock and when he returned he found that some miscreant had poisoned his fox hounds. He owned a large pack and they were among the beet in the county. It would be weltTor a few Democrats in this township to count the cost before they begin throwing obstacles in tho way of regular Itemooratie nominees. Indirectly aiding the opposition is a poor way to obtain the support of their own party in the future, and we are certain that they will ask for favors yet. We hope that ere the election takes place that they will see the error of their ways and give us their hearty support. Charles Parker and Sam Archer stole a mare from a farmer named Perkhiser near Shoals. Martin county, in June. 1884.

The Almighty Dollar! How the Unsuspecting are Often Chilled. CAPITAL VS. MERIT. It is possible that money dipped into « bounte >ussui ply of [ r ater's ink, is to be used to teach false ideas. Why Is it that such persistent anathemas | should all at once te hurled against the use of “Potash and Potash Mixtures?” _« Those who insist that Potash is poison do so because that is the way they have of fighting B It R., as the latter contains potash properly, combined. uphun, morphine, strychnine, aconite, whisky, etc , are all deadly poisons and are dally destroying the livrs of people, and why do not these men cry out against them? It is because there is no money in sight todo so i'otasii is not regarded as a poison and very seldom harms any one; but those who abuse it are using a vegetable poison tea times as violent. Iodide of Potash, in proper combi* ! uetkin, is regarded by the mediea! profession ; as the .,'ilekcst, grandest and most powerful i blood remedy eve; known to man. Those who believe tn revealed comoiaations and Indian foolishness are surely in a condition to become rather “cranky” in their ideas uuy I time. We assert uuderstandingly that Potash, as used in the manufacture of B. B B., 1 is not a poison, and the public need not place any confidence in assertions to the coutrarv Why is it that in one thousand letters which we receive we never hear a word against its use? The truth is, B. B. B. is working sueh wonders in the cure of all blood poisons, ; scrofula, rheumatism, eattarrh, etc., that others are trembling in their boots, and cry aloud, “fraud,” because they fear its triumphant march Ia*t auy man or womau ask any respectable doctor or druggist If we are not right. Do not, be deceived, but go right along and call for B. B. R , and lie cured, it is making five times more cures in Atlanta t ban all other blood remedies bombined- We don’t say that others are poisons or frauds: we are not that easily alarmed, but we say ours is the best, and we have the proof.
