J. Gill Shorter, Governor of Ala.

says : Have derived some benefit from the use of
Simmons Liver Regulator, a.ld wish to give it a
further trial.
"The only Thing that never fails to
Relieve." I have used many remedies for Dys
pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility, but never
have found anything to benefit me to the extent
Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min
nesota to Georgia f ir it, and would send further for
such a medicine, and would advise ill who are sim
ilarly affected to Rive it a triul as it seems the only
thing that never fails to relieve.

A Protliftious Fattiily.
There has just arrived in our coun
try an old man of ninety-three years
a native of Galicia, which he left
seventy two years ago to seek his
fortune in America. This venerable
nonagenarian, whose name is Lucas
Negreiras Paez, is accompanied by a
lrttle family composed of
Sixteen daughters, of whom six are
widows, nine wives and one unmar
ried. Twenty three sons, of whom four
are widowers, thirteen married and
six unmarried.
Thirty-four granddaughters, of
whom three are widows, twenty-two
married and nine Onmarried.
Forty -seven grandsons, of whom
four are windowers, twenty six mar
ried and seventeen unmarried.
Forty-five great-granddaughters,of
whom eighteen are married and twenty-seven
single.
Thirty-nine great grandsons, all
single.
Three great-great-granddaughters.
Seventy -two sons-in-law and daugh
ters in-law.
A total of 279 persons.
This good great grandfather was
three times married and had by his
three wives thirty-nine children, the
last of whom was born in Boston, in
1884, when Paez was 65 years of age.
The "first born child is now seventy
years old. He has had seventeen
children, the oldest of whom is forty
seven, and Is, therefore, twenty-eight
years older than his uncle, the last
child of his grandfather.
Don Lucas Negreiras Paz is quite
rich, having amassed considerable
money in the leather trade at Boston.
The business is still conducted .by
some members of the family which
includes doctors, lawyers, engineers,
druggists, merchants, &c. The ship
upon which he came to Europe be
longs to him and was commanded by
his own grandson, who is a captain.
The old man is quite stroag and in
excellent health. Every day he takes
two hours' gymnastic exercise, walks
for two hours,, and himself educates
the children of his grandchildren.
He has never drank wine or spirits.
He does not smoke. He proposes to
end his days in Galicia. He is now
at Madrid, where he will shortly be
presented to the King. Barcelona

"Have you always been so stalwart
as this?" inquired the news gatherer.
4,Not by any means," was the re
ply. 4 'When a ybung man I was al
ways strong and active and felt that
I could accomplish anything. This
feeling so took possession of me on
one occasion that I attempted to lift a
box which four men found it impossi
ble to move. I succeeded in placing
it on the wagon, but in two minutes
from that time I was unconscious and
remained so lor hours and when 1
recovered consciousness I vomited a
lar&' quantity of blood. From th; c
day I began to grow weak and sickly.
I believed that I had suffered some
internal injury and e.perienced a
general debility, which seemed simi
lar to the effects produced by malaria.
My hick was very weak. I had no
appetite, and at times loathed food
My lips was parched and cracked.
My head felt as though it were en
tirely open at the top and it pained
me on the side intense. In six
weeks' time 1 had fallen away from
208 pounds to less than 17U. I was
in a most wretched condition. I was
completely discouraged.'
"What did the doctors say about
you?"
""Almost everything. I consulted
no less than six different physician's.
They all treated ine and none did me
any good. At that time I was suffer

was not living. 1 was existing.
One night (how well I remember
it!) my wife had put the children all
in bed when the feeling came over
me that I should live but a very
short time. My wife and I talked
matters all over and I gave the
minutest directions as to what she
should do after 1 was gone. I was
not in a flighty condition by an'
means for the doctor , on leaving town
the day following, bade me good bye,
saying he never expected to see me
again, for I was suffering with
Bright s disease of the kidneys in its
last stages. Within the next few
days more than twenty friends came
to bid me good bye. Among the
number was Dr. John L. Clark. He
asked me what I had used in the way
of medicines. I told him. Hp then
recommended a remedy of which
I had heard much, but about which I
was very skeptical. If faith were-an
element of power it certainly was
lacking' in my case."
"And so you did not try it?"
''On the contrary, I did try it and
to my surprise it seem to go to just
j the spot

"And did it cure you?"
Do I Look as if it did?"
"Yes, indeed. What was it?"
"Warner's Safe Cure."
"A proprietary medicine?"
4 'Of course. What of that? I sup
pose I once had as great a prejudice
against advertised medicines as any
one could have. When I was study
ing medicine at Ann Arbor, Michi
gan, I used to vow with the rest of
the class that we should fight all such
remedies at all times. When a man
comes down to the last hour, how
ever, and bid his wife and friends
good bye, such bigoted prejudices a9
these all vanish, I can assure you and
any remedy that can cure is gladly
welcomed." 1
"And how have you been since
then.?" :
"As well or better, than before."
"Do you still exert your strength?'
4 'Certainly. But I do not over
exert, as formerly. My strength is
increasing every day, and my health
is number one. I know that my life
wa3 saved by Warner's Safe Cure,
and I believe it is the best medicine
that was ever compounded by any
chemist or physician. I am willing
the doctors, should sneer at me for
such a statement if they choose, but
I have proven its truth, and am pre
pared to stand by it
The above experience should be of

A Georgia Man's Way,
It was a bleak, raw, April day as
we ran down into South Carolina.
There was no fire in the coach, nor
would there have been need of any if
the windows could have been kept
dow-n. A chap from Quitman, Ga.,
who haI lately peeled off his flannels
and whofelft as cold as a sheared
lamb.succeeded after awhile in getting
all the windows down but one. That
was on the right hand side, third seat
from the front, and the seat was oc
cupied by a fat man with a red face.
"Sir won't you please lower that
window?" asked the Georgian.

Nice Puppies
"Did 3Tou ever hear about John
Osl. . rn and his setter pups?"
"John Osborn ran for sheriff in St.
Paul, Mmu., and while he was work
all ihe.boysvith his good nature
lie had frequent calls, and whenever
a man with a fancy for field sport

beautiful setter and her fine puppies
"'Nice ptipieg, John.'

j " They are. the most beautiful set
' ttr pups I ever saw any where."
Then tue candidate for Sheriff
would take the man aside and, in a
confidential tone tell him
"'You just wait till after election
and I'll give y6u one of those pups."

"This thing had been going on for ;
a couple ot ..weeJrs, and one evening a
man shut the door and left the house
with the promise of a pup lingering
in his ear4 when Mrs. Osbom asked :

there?"
"Five. Why?'
" 'WelL I was thinking that to

Marr ins a Head Wife's Sister.
The English House of Ldrds has
again rejected the bill legalizing the !
marriage of a man to his dead wife's
sister. The vote was 140 to i45. We
hope the day is not far distant when
the old foggy concern of "House of
Lords" will be squelched and abolislf
ed by the English people. Civiliza
tion and humanity teaches and
proves that, where possible and agree
able, a man shows his good sense and
proper regard for his wife's children.

The bitter quarrel which occured
in.Fayetteville Presbytery, this State,
about 35 yea-s ago, in regard to a
Rev. Mr. McQueen marrying his
wife's sister, will be remembered by
many of our citizens. A good, but
eccentric old divine, Lv. Colin
Mclver of Favettaville. led the. oppo
sition to such marriages, and much
bad feel Lag and hard word occurred, i
but we think Mr. McQueen was final- j"
y justified in marrying his dead
wife's sister, though the Presbyte
rians have always refused to change
their church edicts against such
marriages, but acquiesce when they
occur.
The Quarrel between the McQueen
and anti McQueen party was very
bitter according to our recollect ion.
it seems to us tnat u t.iere 1
anv-
thing reasonable i: this world, it is,
that men should he permitted to mar

Cricking Wheal Into Flour.
Minnesota millers no longer "grind''
wheat into flour. They "crack'' it
and the people of the Northwest, claim
that the new process makes their
hitherto inferior wheat the most val
uable in the world. Burr stones are j
!
things of the nast and Hunrrarian i
steel rollers have taken their place.
These rollers are about thirty inches
long and eight inches in diameter. It
takes five sets, of steel rollers to finish
the flour. Each set- oil jailers runs
closer than the preceding. AfterthT -
-
wheat passes each set of rollers it is
bolted or sifted through coarse cloth,
This cloth lets the disintegrated par-
tides of wheat through and passes
off the bulky and larger pieces, which
are run through another and a closer
set of rollers and cracked again. The
last rollers have little else but wheat
hulls and waxy germs of wheat,
which do not crack up, but smash
down like a piece of wax. The germ
of a kernel of wheat is not good food.
It makes flour black. By the old
millstone process this wazy germ was
ground up with the starchy portiou
and bolted through with the flour.
By the new system of cracking the
kernel instead of grinding it, this
germ it not ground, but flattened out
and sifted or bolted out, while the
starchy portions of the wheat are
crushed into powdered wheat or flour.
All the big mills of Minneapolis now
manufacture by the new process.
Fruits as food and Medicine.
Now that the fiuit season will soon
be here, it will doubtless be interest,
ing and highly useful to our readers
to learn something of the nutriveness,
digestibility, wholesomeness, medi
cinal action, and proper uso of the
fruits and vegetables with which God
has so abundantly blessed our earth
The great error in the use of fruits
consists in crowding the stomach
with them when it is already full; in
eating them at all times between
meals when there is no natural de
mand nor desire for them. When,
taken along with the food, as food,
in moderation, or as a dessert when
the stomach- is not over fall, they
are highly conducive to .health; and,
as a writer very truly says, "they ap
