"HBditor of the Rural Carolinian:?With giAin persons there prevails an idea that tha^ijjthwestcrn States offer a much bet ter opening to young men than the older States. '? Having left the home of my ood, and sojourned for fifteen years OnC of the most fertile sections of the SouthwesU I may be pardoned for otter ing a leW suggestions to any who may be on the verge of emigrating from this their native State, to try the uncertain tt$fp-/of what they suppose to be a better country. < JMy experience lias been, that faVrairig is much surer/ of success here <lVfe&'lh'ere. All a man needs here is a plenty of energy and a determination to ""Wfifceed, and without these qualities he will not succeed anywhere. TJ( ( The .djstoters to which the crops nro subject arc much more numerous there than here. The expenses of carrying on a farm; nfrejmuch heavier. The yield of | of a crop for a term of years is much less uniform there tbau here. When there is a good crop made it is more shan can be gathered, but this is cx'seldom occurrnncc. When there is a failure it is an entire ; ?o'flfc.'"' Here we are sure of making sonic thing ?yry year, be it ever so little. Here line have health, good water, and passable ^Yo?dB'- in winter. There more or less sickness (generally more); muddy lime water, and?well, is no adjective that will convey any idea of the roads in winter. Ifaman intends to work himself in his farm, he will find it much more trying to his health and constitution there than hers. Vegetation grows very luxuriant ly, nnd the dews are so heavy that one can seldom go on foot, in a field in the iorenoOn, without becoming drenched. Many of the old settlers carry quinine in their pockets and take a dose every morning the year round. I worked in my farm there and it gave me chronic chills, from which I suffered for three years. The doctors gave me so much qui nine that it nearly destroyed my bearing and quite destroyed a good portion of my earnings.* Young men, take my advico, pull ofTj your coats, roll up your sleeves, take hold of the plough and hoc handles, and quit thinking about "going west" to try to ' imike a living easily for there is simply no such^thing possible.

Walker's California Vin egar Ritters aro a purely Vcgetablo preparation, made- ehiolly from the sia tivo horbs found on tbo lower ranges of tho Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, tbo medicinal properties of which arc extracted therefrom without tbo uso of Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily asked, "What is tho.causo of tho unparalleled success of Vixkgar Bit TEitS?" Our answer is, that they remove tbo cause of disease, arid tbo patient re covers his health. They aro the great blood purifier and a lifo-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of tbo system. Nover before in ibo history of tho world has a medicinu been compounded possessing tho remarkablo qualities of Vixkgar Bittkrs in healing tho sick of ovcry disease man is heir to. They aro a gcutlo Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inilanmiatinn of tho Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dit. Walker's Vinegar Bittkrs aro Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-Bilious.

Fin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in tho system of so many thousands, aro oflcctually destroyed and removed. Xo System of medicine, no vermifuges, ho an tholminitics will free the system from worms like these Hitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old. married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or tho turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell von when. Keep tho blood jmre, and the health of tho system will follow. ju. ii. McDonald & coM DrUgitiftta niul Gen. Agts., S:ui KrnnoUco, California, and cor. of WniOilngton unit Cliurlton SU., x. y.
