When seventeen yo.us old he hurt his shoulder and a few yean after commenced to have rheumatic pains la it. Oa taking a slight cold or the least strain, sometimes without any apparent cause whatever, tha trouble would start and he would suffer tha most excruciating pains. He suffered for over thirty years, and tha last decade has suffered so muoh that ha was unable to do anv work. To this the fre quent occurrences of dtazy spells were add ed, making him almost a helpless Invalid. V i/' nt all soars or weathss. Re triad the best physicians but without being benefited and bms used several specific rheumatic cures, but was not helped. About one year and six months ago he read la this paper ot a case somewhat similar to his which was cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and concluded to try this remedy. After taking the first box he felt some what better, and after using three boxes, tha pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi ness left him and ha has now for over at year been entirely free from all bis former trouble aud enjoys better health than ha has had since his boyhood.

Examiner t» suggestive: “Three successive failures of the tobacco crop, a long time ago, made Kentucky the blue-grass country, and the taadiug blood stock region of America. The blight of frost which de stroyed all of Florida’s new orsnges iu 1894 and killed many of the grand old trees, turned theattentioa of thousands of her land-owners to tobacco, aud she is rapidly winning a place among the largest and best producers on tbe conti nent. These gladsome outcomes of ’calamity’ almost incline one to wish that old Dame Nature would apply the goad to onr people, as farmers travel well-beaten paths aud seldom revolu tionize their industries or reinforce them, dxcept under a stress of necea- •ity. “Iowa a few years ago seemed enter ing ni>on an area of decadence, incident to the universality of wheat culture under conditions of failing sod and steadily declining prices. With dash ing and able leadership she struck out on a new trial and made dairying her chief industry, aud the result has been the dawning of a new era of prosperity and the restoration of fertility to her wheat-worn fields. ” PERSONAL. Why lc* Is Mora Slippery Than Class. Ice has the property—peculiar to bodies which expand on freezing—of liquefying under pressure and solidify ing again when the pressure has been removed. Consequently the weight of any body moving upon a sheet of ice causes the formation of a thin layer of water which separates It from the ice, and thus, by reducing the friction to a minimum, enables it to move smoothly over the surface—1. makes the ice more ‘‘8lippery. ,, On glass, on the contrary, this liquid medium Is want ing. so that the two solid and unyield ing bodies come Into actual physical cantact, causing a friction which, in spite of the smoothness of the glass, considerably retards Hie motion of the body. If two smooth sheets of glass be taken and a few drops of water sprinkled over the one and the-other placed above tt, a tfcim layer of water will be formed, and until this layer haa been pressed out the upper glass will move on the other as smoothly as If on ice. This peculiar property of ice Is due to the effect of pressure in lower ing the freezing point of water, so that whenever ice Is subjected to great pres sure it partially melts. A Proj»»aalve Woman.

We, the undersigned Committee, appointed by the Interstate Cotton Growers’ Association, held In Atlanta, Ga., December 14th, 1897, to investigate and report on the Jackson Limbless Cotton, beg Isav# to submit the following report: After a thorough and careful examination and lavestlgaUon made of the cotton la the field, which we visited la person, and carefully look! uk Into the matter, we unheattaUngly pronounce tt the best variety of cotton ever grown In the South. From what the Committee learned from a conversation with Hr. Jackson, It aeems that the cotton, with careful cultivation, will yield three bales per a£r* easily, and the evidence of such fact haa presented itself to us after said Investigation. The cotton Itself is absolutely without limbs, the boll* maturlug on little prongs two or three Inches long, known as “fruit spur,” with no other llmbKtherebetng from two to five bolls on each spur. The stalks In the field, examined by us, are from four to ten feet tall, according to the fertility of the soil, aa fruited from the ground up. W« ffiundon a great many stalks, bolls which contain five and six pods, which we consider very unusual, the size of the bolls bell,:- very fine average; the lint and staple being fine and silky, an average of one to < ne and a half Inches It Is theoplnton of your Com mittee that no cotton of this variety has ever been grown tn the South before, and ts of supe rior quality to anything we have ever seo’.-. grown. The land upon which the cotton examln ed was crown, ts ordinary red gravel'y uplaud well manured. Wa.l*.CALHOUN.Chalrman,Ga. Ktchahd Cbcatuam.
