That which is good and advisable for the rura' distLcts is good and advisable for t wns aAd cities The notorious lawlessness of the liquoxr traffic, its conLinual menacing of tho public peace, its blighting ef fects upon the home life, its prosti tuting and withering eff ctsa upon the individual, the utter impossibility of its constinuance without its perpetual levying upon the rising getterations, and it appalling destruction of hu man sools, all appeal to every lover of humanity to do something to check, and finally estop, these ravages.

It being' a well set ted fact that~ any remedy which would kill the germ or microbe would destroy the life of the patient, it has been rund Uiat to force, out1 these germs is the only safe relief from their ravages. In this way Swift's Specific has for 60 years been curing blood and skin diseases. It forces out the microbes through the pores of the skin, and soon sends out the poiso-n which they may have left. In thiis way 'the disease is cured, and the general health of the' patient is built up. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. SWIFT.tSPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga. Rev.J. E. Hayne in Jail.

The county fair oiicers are very busy get ting everything in line for the fair now in progress. Let us all assist in making it a success as far as it can be this year. The effort, if nothing else, should be encouraged. The hook and ladder company could not render much assistance at the fire last Fri day night. because the truck was not. com pleted. Let them have the truck, they are bound to do some good. A patron of the postoffice here inquired if we were giving away postal cards until the end of the month as he saw the an nouncemeut in the Mk ntid TIMns. The free supply his not reacied this office yet. . The advance in the price of cotton pick ing according to tlib published circular of Col. B. M. Humphrey did not reach this county to disturb the minds of the people. in many quarters of the cotton section it was regard'ed as an unhappy occurrence, since the fall in the price of cotton is so great. While we tdmit that the tai-med or other .laborors have the undoubted right to advance their own interests as the occasion arises, yet the situation and fitness of every .ian ought always to be investigated. The colored race, as such, ought to re member that unity is a great element in everything. and that unwise, erroneous counsel, for evil and prejudicial purposes on the part of men who have nothing but temselves in view, should be brushed aside as empty vaporing of worthless minds. We can always judge whether the well being of a people is the main spring of some men's'actions by asking ourselves the question: Does it change any well ordered Dr settled relation of the people? Facts are distorted, falsehoods are told, even palpible lies are advanced rather than ,n adherance to duty and first principles. Egnorant people are unjustly im ed upon: laceiveraworkupon theirment weakness s, even taking the livery of heaven to serve the devil in bringing to reproach and open Aame what a people have heretofore cher shed. A great deal of this humiliating state of iirs is brought aLout by elevating to imewhat responsible positions persons who have had their lung power taken for intellectual force and vigor, who have aotbing to recommend them but their un bounded cheek and bold effrontery. AU good men of whatever creed or social relation should unite to throw off this incu bus, this cancer eating out the harmonious rowth of the people. The lecture of Rev. L. W. Jenkins at ,azaretb Baptist Church was very interest mg and instructive.- Vatious Incidents of 3is Southwestern trip, instances of the olored people's prosperity in that quarter, nd splendid bits of humor enhanced the casion. His remarks on education were imely and interesting and suggestive. Anent his remarks on education we might cidentally mention that a few persons iave been endeavoring for a short while to ,ltivate what, I suppose, they would call an educational interest in this community. hey have endeavored to create an impres don that the teacher'mustbelong to the pre lominant or largest religious denomination n the community, or tre -denominaton iestest to which the school bouse pibi)' s Joated or.is ta4ght. When one has in elligent auditors he can always content uimself with the thought of receiving all the onsideration his words will command.
