And now there is a grcwirg deposition on the psrt of ome of onr christians to adopt the plan. The Mormons under that rule, have been very successful. Their success proves the ' practicability of the scheme as well as furnishing the best evidence of tbelr zeal. We would like to know however, what Is considered tbe tentb. If It Is the tenth o< the gross Income from business, some bnsl ess firms would be broken up the first year. If It means tbe tentb of the profits, after pa) log expense, t bat Is another thing. Ifa man receives ftOO a year for bis l>-bor,$60 would be too much for blm to pay. Tbe proper wav would seem to be to deduct tbe ixpem e of the serpen rf Ms fr nillj', aud give one tenth ol the remainder. ? The Biggest Hums Hann? Wllann r?f W hlfp h fl 11 nnd Mr. Li H. Wilkinson of At bdvllie, lan y?ar under took to raise big bogs, (oot tbe kind thut all od tbe end of cbarcb pews ) Mr. Wilson ground the juice out of bin su- < gar cane, and led tbe ground cane to his bogs His bog grew And It grew, until It. Jibe tbe , . pedagogue'* head wblcb was tbe wonder of * tbe school children, until, when It was slaughtered one bam weighed 72 lbs. Mr. Wilkinson led bis sugar cane without grinding tbe stalks. His hog grew, but it came is on a slow freight train, and weighed . only 60 pounds each. Mr. 8. Fr Cromer says tbe moral of ibis story i is, feed your sugar cane to bogs after tbe < syrup has been fx traded, or else order jour ( bams from Chicago by slow freight.

It is the irony of fate that of all men who are able .to satisfy the craving* of hunger with the choicest things of prodigal nature's menu. Johu D. Kocki efeller is a victim of stomach trouble. Only the simplest of foods may be taken, and these in a sparing manner, at the risk of intense suffering. His . disease has progressed beyond the aid of medicine, and all his great wealth caunot purchase relief. There are thousands of Rockefellers, however, who could be cured of their indigestion if they would ouly begin the use of a remedy known as Andts' Great Prescription. It is a purely vegetable compound of pleasant taste, j costing but one dollar a bottle ami guaranteed to cure the most stubborn case of iudigestion within the use of / six bottles, costing but five dollars. " j ? a?.i.:M Y VV DO wuuiu UCKiuuge iuid paiuj ouiu for such relief? Audes' Great Prescription acts direct, healing and soothing irritated or inflamed tissues, promoting digestion and driving out all ' impurities of the blood, the primary cause of indigestion and stomach disorders. In consequence of this pecug liar property, it is also a successful corrective of kidney, liver aud bladder [ affections, and the most wonderful rheumatic remedy on the market. Ask C. A.

We have been trying to look recently at what would be the result if all tbe adve t-e legislation to tbe railroads should so cripple them as to force tberu into the handsof a receiver. A panic?well I should say 60, and one of the worst this country has ever known. Who would such a panic hurt? Surely not those who own railroads?that is simply a part of their , surplus?then it must of necessity rebound upon tbe poorer man and the business generally of the country. Can we afford this just now? Can we J afford to see the business of this country stagnated when we are in the very | zenith of prosperity? It is human nature we suppose, for the weaker to be always fighting the strpng, yet it ] yet it is the strong that keep thecoun- I try prospering. The American people are great on extremes, and are sure they are too extreme now on this railroad situation. It appears ( that every state is fighting the railroads. and nine-tenths of it is upon 1 hearsay evidence, by lawyers who ( have been sent to the legislature', with no idea of facts, and, they adopt ( drastic measures for political ends tbat may retard the growth of our" country to a considerable degree. People curse everytning mat seem to t>e mamng ] mouey. Suppose about half the trains that the roads are now running were taken off, what a howl you would hear, and yet there are trains like" the Birmingham division of the Seaboard that is not paying, so the president says. It will take years for that road ot develop and populate the country j f along % its line for it to be a paying ill- , vestment, yet tbe great wave of op- ' > "VjM preasion that is being waged could "j hamper its growth. | They want now to regulate or rather 1 to compensate the newspapers for the \ | loss of their passes even in Alabama, (] by forcing the roads to advertise in ev- 1 ery paper in the state, ami the state shall say what tbe papers shall receive 'SaB But the newspapers don't want to be J a party to the throttling of any enter- '* J prie"ev nor do they want the state to fathar them in their rharces. To be perfectly plain it is time for the peo- ] {)le, while the evil days come not to ook to their interest and throttle all such damphoolishness, or the resultwill be disastrous as sure as you live. . f||H LOWNDESYILLE.
