It seems that the old man's .

It was a great case in 'Georgia, "Old Peter Bennett vs. Dr. Mason," and reputation of Toombs t-i iii ii rtw nl a)rougnt out a court house tun or r 'Well, Toombs made a strong speech.

'AsTc my patients," yelled the now enraged physician. "Ask ydur patients," slowly re peated Bennett; and then, deliberi ating, Ask your patients! Why they are all dead. Ask your patients!

You know they can't say anything in this case, for you've killed them all.'' fLoud applause, and old Peter 'won his case." ;-. : . - Crime is on . the Increase. Attorney General Walser to-day gave to the press a summary of his first report on criminal statistics. It is for the year ending July 1, 1897. In the 1896 report only' the more important crimes were - reported by name. The present report gives the names of nearly all the crimes and misdemeanors. - The report up to July 1, 1896 . gave 82 as the number of murders in the first degree for two years. Strange to say the last report gives 41 for one year. Of murders in the second degree, there were 76 for the two vears; now tnere are 44 tor one year, this showing an increase. Of arson, 6 cases are reported for the year, this being the rarest of the capital crimes in this State. The Attorney General does not think any other State shows so small a num ber. Of rapes, there were 28 in two ' i. T 1 -1 -i nr n. i.1 l Years, up lu o uiy x, xooj tiie iaai report snows ly, a very large in crease. As to burglary in the first degree, the two years report shows 14 cases; while the new report shows 10, quite an increase. Jbor tne two vears theie weie only 22. Of the forgery cases the two years report showed 99, while the last re port shows 62, a very great increase. Of larceny for the two years, there re cases' the last report snows 1,480, so the proportion is proporti about the same. Of assaults with intent to commit rape, there were for the two years 59 and last year 29. Of manslaughter there were 33 cases for the two years, and 17 for the last vear. Ralsisrh Cor.

They are profitable. 2, They weaken the soil least and strengthen ic the most. 3. They aro enemies of weeds. 4. The care they need is required when other farm operations are slack. 5. The amount of investment need not be large. b. lhe returns are quick and many. They are quietest and easiest han dled of all farm stock. It is impossible for the system to withstand the demands made upon it just at this season, with out the assistance of a good puri- tying and strengthening tonic. The changes which Nature decrees shall take place each spring are bo severe that a breakdown is almost sure to come. It is wise that all possible assistance be given during this period, as upon this purifying process depends the health ior the entire summer. Everybody just now should take a thorough course of Swift's Specific For OlrvrvJ TheOHJUU which thoroughly cleanses the blood of all the accumulated im purities, tones up and strengthens the entire system, and aids Nature in renovating and renewing the body so as to render it healthy and strong. Those who purify theirj blood with b. b. b.: at this season are .well fortified against the many forms of disease so prevalent dur ing the dreaded heated term, for it has been demonstrated that the system that is, thoroughly purified in the spring is well prepared to resist disease all summer. No other remedy on the market is equal to Swift's Specific as a spring medicine, because it is the only purely vegetable blood rem edy and is guaranteed absolutely free from potash, mercury and all other minerals. It cleanses, puri fies, builds up and strengthens. Insist on S. S. S., for there is noth ing halt as good. gj JQ AO pOOfUODul Mfcl 11 " I II - - "i Mil pwffljfe J millilllmifum MiliitiimmiiiiilmtMHiHH'iiiHminiiimHmMiimiitnimiliiiiilliiuiltilll .SVcgetablePrcparationfor As similating theToodandReguta ting th&Stojnachs andBowels of RomotesT)igcsUdn,ChecTful ness andRestCbntains neither Opium,Morptiiri iiorllineraL Not NAac otic Xumpkm See'm jfbcSenna ItockdU Salts- . bustSeed- iFeppermint -iiiGtuionateSoSa fifomSeed r sugar ' riuran Anerfect Remedy for Constipa tion, Sour Stomach.Diarrhoea, Worms .Convulsions Jevensiv aess and Loss OF SWEEP.
