A Study In White and Black.
Two small boys, Willie and Jack
The one was white, the other black
Set out one day so peek some fun,
And found it ere the day was done.
They ppied a wasp's nest under the eaves,
As thick with wasps as a tree with leaves;
They punched it down and away they h-w;
But not till the wasps had ttung them
through.
They climbed a tree to eat wild cherries:
They crept through briars to pick blackber
ries; They thrashed down nuts till they fell lkc
rain,
And dyed their hands with walnut stain.
They went to fish in the meadow b'anch,
And tried a pine-bark boat to launch;
But both slipped in up to the waist,
And both came out ic mud encased.
They built a fire to fry their lish,
Using a smooth white stone for a dish;
By sooty fiames they were quickly smoked.
By floating cinders, well nigh choked.
They caught a dog, tied a can to his tail,
Ihen pei died themselves on top of a rail,
For the dog was mad and wanted to fight,
And gave each naked leg a bite.
They chased a squirrel through a tangled
bog,
They "treed" a rabbit in a hollow log;
They tore their clothes to shreds and patches,
And marked each face with wounds ami
scratches.
When evening came, they wandered back
The boy that was white and the boy that was
black
But what with the stings, the smoke and the
mud,
The stain and the bites and the ripe cherries'
blood, .
'lhe clothes that were torn to shreds and tat
ters, The cnts and wounds, and such small mat
ters, It sure was a study in white and black,
To tell which was Willie and which was
Jack.

Curiosities ol Lite.
lAy yoat Auger on your pulse, and
know that at every stroke some im
mortal pusses to its Maker, some fel
low being crosses the river of death;
and if we think of it we may well
wonder that it should be so long be
fore oar -turn comes. Half of all who
live die before becoming seventeen
years of age. Only one person in ten
thousand live to be one hundred
years old; and but one in a hundred
reach sixty years. The married men
live longer th a a the single men. There
is one soldier to every eighteen per
sons, and out of every thousand born
only ninety-five weddings take place.
If you take a thousand persons who
have reached the age of seventy,
there are of clergymen, orators and

The Iron Center.
Baltimore Sun.
. Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
was in Roanoke, Va , Saturday, on
his return from a visit to a number
of prominent points in the booming
South. In conversation with a news
paper interviewer Mr. Atkinson said
that he had traveled entirely around
the region desired by him as the citus
of the iron industry of the world,
and what he had seen had confirmed
him in his statement that a man
standing on top of Great Smoky
mountain, in Western North Carolina
could view the centre of the iron in
dustry of the world. " In using that
expression,' said Mr. Atkinson, " I
mean by the centre of the iron indus
try not that the iron industry will be
centered there, but used the term rel
atively as I would in speaking of the
centre of the population in the Uni
ted, States. I make this explanation
that I may not be misunderstood.
The iron industry will centre in Gran
gliaat separate points, but this re
gion, as I have said before, is to be
the situs of the iron industry of the
world.
Russia is the curse of modern civil
isation; the negation of its spirit, the
connteractant of its intellectual for

OF OUR SUCCESS.
TrTif
VY
R CLAIM that a combination of
local anl constitutional treat
ment is necessary to thoroughly
eradicate Catarrh. Exclusively
local , applications, if made when the
trouble first begins, sometimes cure, but
more frequently drive the disease to other
parts of the system, where it develops in
a far more serious form. Blood purifiers
may improve the condition of the system,
but they seldom cure for they do not
reach the seat of the disease. Certain
Catarrh Cure is the only preparation
which combines local and constitutional
ireatrtient, and can consistently claim to
cure Catarrh in all its forms and stages.
It is cheap, easily used, purely vegetable,
entirely harmless. By it, others, who had
no faith, have been cured: YOU CAN BE,
whether you have had the disease one year
or ftfty ; whether it is in the head, stomach
or bladder. TRY IT NOW.
DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
Past Failures Need not Discourage You.
$ 1,000 Rewarda Humbug!
Don't Be Deckivicd by the offer of a
large reward in case some medicine fails to
cure you. If the reward is claimed, there
is always some way to evade its pay
ment; if never claimed, it is no evidenee'tfaat
everybody, or anybody, has been cwred;
but it speaks well for the intelligence of
our people, that no one ia fool enough
to expect its payment 91,000.600
might be offered with equal safety; for it
is needless to say that the user Of such med
icines always dies before their proprietors
are convinced that he "can't be cured." It
is one of the most deceptive schemes that
ever insulted an enlightened people.
We are disposed to give the pubhc every
protection possible against the imposition
of scheming frauds or worthless nostrums,
but NO DEPENDENCE CAN BE
PLACED IN GUARANTEES. If Con
gress will pass a law by which all medi
cines are subjected to a thorough test, and
their merits in the diseases which they
claim to cure are rally established before
they can be offered for sale, we will heart
ily favor it. An Honest remedy suffers
more from the failure of other prepara
tions to establish their claims, than from
all other causes 'combined as disappoint
ment in one medicine causes distrust in
many.
in Support of Our Claims,
We oner the testimony of those who nave
tried Certain Catarrh Cure to their entire
satisfaction. "An ounce of experience is
worth a pound of theory." Our endorsers
are well known persons, who are alive and
can be found. Not one of our testimoni
als was purchased at any price. They are
the voluntary expressions of parties who
seek to benefit humanity. A perusal of
them will surely convince you that our
claims are well founded. If you have
Catarrh, you cannot afford to be indiffer
ent to its progress. Treatment cannot be
commenced too early. The longer disease
continues, the more time it will require to
be eradicated. Your unsatisfactory experi
ence with other remedies should not influ
ence you against ours. Lay aside distrust ;
give Certain Catarrh Cure a fair test, and
ou will, throughout the remainder of your
ife, feel thankful to us for the advice.
We have handled Certain Catarrh Cure
since its first introduction. It has given gen
eral satisfaction, and sue, has been the in
crease in demand, that our purchases during
the last six months have amounted to nearly
ttoeniy-fioe gross. The Lamar Drug Co.,
AtUmU Go, May 14, 188ft
Certain Catarrh Cure is mentioned so fa
vorably, by our customers that oe have great
confidence in its merits. A lexander Drug
ami Seed Co., Augusta, Go,
Its Harmlessness.
Makes it entirely safe to try Certain
Catarrh Cure for any trouble, without the
slightest fear of injury. It ia a purelj
vegetable preparation, and to the most
delicate constitution, or organ of the body,
can produce no bad effect whatever.
REMEMBER!
Certain Catarrh Cure is not simply a
snuff or local application, to drive the dis
ease from the nasal organs into the system ;
nor a blood remedy, to tone up the system
and leave the nasal parts uncured ; but it
is a combination of both methods, and the
only remedy which will give satisfaction it
the many different stages of catarrh.
