Augusta Hearal J. Washington is the first city in our country which has put the ban upon 8< billboards. The commissioners of the District of Columbia have at last acted on the long continued complaints, and after careful consideration have de creed that this nuisance must be abated and the billboards removed. Other cities should follow this lead. There is no excuse for tolerating this custom which by degrees has grown into an intelerable nuisance. These billboards are unsightly. They are uot only offensive to good taste and as such depreciating the value of real estate, but they are a demoralizing agency, iiie jiusiwb uispia^ cu uu them are often offensive in the suggest tive display that is beiug made, ana where not open to this objection they are vitiating iu their general effect. C( For that these highly colored posters J* exert a psychological influence upon S the community cannot be denied. There is no necessity for billboard advertising. If there were no other or better method for gaining publicity _ there might be some excuse for it. In the dark ages when people were illiterate and few could read, to gain their attention by the display of great colored /pictures might have been justifiable as the only way. But that doesn't apply now when all can read, and everybody JE* ttSH If you knew th admit that the: you know that Cottolene digestible, hea - mi does read at least the local newspaper. I Through the newspaper the public can l be informed of everything it is desired ? it shall know, and newspaper adver- L tising is not only cheaper but is not l otherwise objectionable as the bill- ^ board. l So the billboard is not only an evil, l but it is an unnecessary evil, a nuis- ? ance, which as such should be abol- L ished. l The Savannah press relates that in that city there is a vacant lot on a prominent corner that is kept free . from unsightly pictures and advertis- L ing matter solely because of the fact l that those living in the neighborhood ? have outbid the billboard man for it. L They have paid to keep the billboards l off'so that their eyes might not be of- ? fended and their own property values l reduced by their presence. l This shows how the billboards are ? regarded. If people in other sections A of that city or in the other cities find it ~ inexpedient to adopt the eame course, tl the law should give them this protec- ji tion. No person has the right to depreciate the value of the property of another or to give him offense in his ~ home by maintaining a nuisance, and nobody should be under the necessity of buying deliverance from such a nuisSncc. It is a protection which the law should give. Tae billboards in every city should be abolished as has been done in Washington. ?LmtterS^ ^ !%^tive' ol 11 LnO Family Medicine.

A few short years ago the com faunLies of the '"Flatwonds" aud its adjoinng neighborhoods were grieved over he decease of our accomplished and kell-belovcd Dr. J. W. Sherard, of ichanon, and, while his remains have earth to earth" been assigned, "and he place thereof shall know hiiu no aore forever," yet memories of the 'kind and good Doctor" still linger in he land with'all who came under the ninistrations of his gentle and symnahetic attendance or the soothing iullu- w nee of his dextrous skill. ft And, now, we are called to mourn X he death of our not less beloved and .steeiued friend, Dr. Jas. M. Carleton if Mt. Carafe I. The. loss of two physicians, so emi- Pz lent and meritorious in their general in >ractice, and so expert and well-versed n the irreat arts of surgery, causes a aE ad realization, and opens wide every of venue of anxiety as to whence shall iome successors worthy to fill the exsting void. ^ Peace to their ashes!
