The community that hasn't had
the grippe", either real or imag
inary, would, I suppose, be con
sidered badlv behind the times
and out of style generally. Ordi
narily, we don't claim to be stuck
up very much iu matters of fash
ion about here. If the style of
our dress is not in accordance
with the most recent wrinkle, we
try to adopt ourselves to the situ
ation . and be content therewith;
but when it comes to a thing like
the grippe" we can't afford to be
outdone in that. So you can just
re)ort to headquarters, wherever
that isvthat we have had the
"grippe." We now have a case
or two of mumps with a fair pros
pect of more in the near, future.

Bright's Diseases.
This insidious ailment, if too
y -
long neglected, will undermine
the strougest constitution and
bring the victim to a premature
grave. Heed the timely warning,
and regam health at once by a
use of the proper restorative, that
great strenghener of the urinary
and digestive organs, B. B. B (Bo
tunic Blood Balm).
David Rnukel, Cullman, Ga.,

worth of medicine for Bright's dis

The Republicans iu the Senate
do not propose to let the bill go
through requiring the census ta
kers to ascertain the number ol
men who owu their farms in this
country, the uumber of farmers
who are mortgaged and the
amount of the mortgages ou them.
This bill was introduced iu pursu
ance of a resolution passed by
farmer's organizations in the Wet
who were desirous of obtaining
some official information on this
line. The Wilmington Star says
that although it is an ..important
matter, knowledge on this subjec t
is vague, and the statements in
reference to it contradictory. The
The - Republicans are fightiug it,
not because it will entail addition
al expense, which it will not, but
because it will show the actual
condition of the farmers of this
country and prick that bubble
about the prosperity which pro
tection gives, and the benefits it
confers upon the men who hold
the plow and pay tribute to the
favored ones it has taken under
its wings.
