ENTITLED TO THE BEST.

All are entitled to the best that their money will buy, so every family should have, at once, a bottle of the best family remedy, Syrup of Figs, to cleanse the system when costive or bilious. For sale in 50c and SI.OO bottles by all leading druggists. . It seems to be the inevitable rule that when private individuals have direet dealings with the Government it stands in hand for them to use every possible means to gain an unfair advantage—a thing they would not think of doing in transactions man with man. Uncle Sam is now teaching some land sharks in the South a lesson which they will not be likely to soon forget. As soon as it was learned that the Government wanted to make a national park of the Chiea.nauga battle ground the owners straightway put a valuation of $l5O per acre on the land, which for agricultural purposes is worth about $lO. The Government of course refused to pay the inflated price and imme--1 iately commenced condemnation proc edings, which resulted in fixing .ue price of the land at $32.50 per ( acre—less than one-fourth the sum isked. From this valuation there is no appeal.
