Having been frequently asked what is the matter with my foot (or leg) I herewith make the following statement : On Friday January 22, 1886, I was in Jones' Stable, Atlanta, Ga., sitting on a bench on the side of the Show Lot, where : some mules were being shown. In making a short turn one of the mules fell and bruised the outside of my leg (between the ankle and knee) severely. It is now recovering slowly. ; Hoping this is satisfactory, I am I Respectfully, H. HARBY. No further questions necessary. The Weather, 6 A.M. 12a. 6 P.V. Jan. 25-32 36 37. Cloudy. Jan. 26-40 54 53.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that op to the present time, bas baffled the skill of the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of the chronic diseases have their origin in dys? pepsia. The symptoos are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, ajeeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasionally nausea and vomit? ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless? ness, sallow akin, derangement o?* kidneys, and not onfrequently palpitation of the heart. If you are suffering with any of these symp? toms DR. HOLT'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR Will Cure yon. For sale by Dr. A. J. China. Physicians are invited to call and see formula. (For tbe Watchman and Southron .J A Legal Mut to Crack. Bob hires Bill to haul him some wood off of his (Bob's) land-Bill had no axe and bor? rows Ned's axe to cut the wood. In the meantime, Ned wants his axe and goes where Bill is, and helps him to cut the wood and load bis wagoe. Ned is not in anyway con? nected with the wood after that. John a (minor) says that Bill hauled two loads of wood and threw the first load down at Ned's house. There are no circumstances to corroborate this plain statement. Bill denies that he left any wood at Ned's house. Ned says that be helped Bill to cut the wood and load the wagon, but know8 nothing more about lt, and denies that Bill (eft any wood at his house. Ned's wife says that Bill did not leave any wood at Ned's house. The minor witness, a reletive of Bob's says that he saw Ned help to cut the wood and load the wagon-Ned does not deny it. Bill was the man sent by Bob to haul the wood. Both parties are well-known to Bob, and Ned Uso. Was this trespass or larceny, or either sn the part of Ned ? If it was larcency, who was guilty, Ned who helped Bill to load his wagoo and then appears no more on the scene, or Bill who iras guilty of a breach of trust in throwing lowo the wood at Ned's bouse, if he did so ? Dan a man be convicted of larceny and put in jail under the uncorroborated testimony of >ne witness and a minor at that, against the positive, uocontradicted testimony of three fitnesses who swear positively to the coutra 71-I would like to hear your legal opinion. INQUIRER. (We regret that we cannot give a legal minion, being no lawyer, but a common lense view would certainly exonerate both jill and Ned. The weight of evidence is en irely in their favor. There was no trespass -that is no malicioas or guilty trespass >ecauseNed would in all probability have lone the same thing had Bob been standing >y. If there was any larcency, of course Jill was the only guilty party even admitting he truth of the plaintiffs witness, but we do lot think that any one contd justly be con ricted and put ia jail upon such testimony. -Ed.] 'Rough on Rats' clears out Rats, Mice. 15c 'Rough on Corns,' for Corns, Bunions. 15c.
