C., Dec. 10.—The December returns of the prices of | farm products to the department of agriculture shows that the averages are lower tha. ever before. The lowest estimated value of corn in former years was 31.8 cents in 1887; since that date, 32.8 cents in 1885. The average of wheat estimates 0.1 cents. This is not the lowest as the average im December 1884, was 64.5 cents. The average prices paid for oats is lower than ever before reported. in 1878 it was 24.6 cents per bushel the present time 23 cents. Prices of rye, barley and buck- heat are also very low.

I certainly do not think that he is hostile to the administration, as some cof the alleged candidates were known tobe. I think the committee made a good selection in Mr. Walk- er. Heis energetic, well acquaint- ed throughout the state, knows the temper of the people, is experienced in political affairs, and will prove efficient in organizing the party.” “Have you read the letter of Sen- ator Vest to McGrath.” “Yes, Tread in the morning pa- pers what purported to be a letter from Senator Vest concerning the interview between him and myself.” “What do you think of it.” “I cannot think that Senator Vest would give to the public without my consent even a partial account of a private interview between us, had at his own suggestion, and must con- clude that the publication was made without his knowledge.

After their raids on the settle- ments, the outlaws would retire to their mountian stronghold and ca- rouse for days.

Shot Down in Court. Marshall, Tex., Dec. 7.—During a preliminay trial for the custody of the children in the divorce case of Kellar vs. Kellar in the district court room here yesterday, Alexander Pope was shot an mortally wounded; W. H. Pope was painfully but not dan- gerously wounded, and James Turn- er slightly wounded. Those shot were counsel for Mrs. Kellar, and those who did the shooting were w. T. S. Kellar, the defendant in the case, and his brother-in-law, C. R. Weathersby. The difficulty was breught on by Kellar denouncing as false a state- ment made by W. H. Pope, who threw a gold headed cane at Kellar, and the defendant and his brother- in-law began shooting. None of the | others were armed. Senator Allison, who is soon to be married, courted 2nd won his bride t the foot of ninistration. Are- tic love is not inharmonious for re- publican politicians. Indian fighter, they made a forced march to the mountains and con- fronted the outlaws in their strong- hold. The latter, with a confidence and determination worthy of a no- bler cause, calmly awaited their coming, and engaged them in close quarters. But the settlers had prepared a surprise for the desperadoes. An old cannon that had seen service in frontier days, was pressed into ser- vice loaded with log chains, spikes, lead and all sorts of missiles, it was | fired into the pirate stronghold at close quarters. The first discharge killed three men and wounded sev- eral others. After three discharges the outlaws fled, hotly pursued by the settlers. For three days a run- ning fight was kept up on horse- bick, several more outlaws and one settler being wounded.

Jones, city marshal of Fulton, Arkanas, writes: “About ten years ago I contracted a severe case of blood poison. The leading phy- sicians of the city were called in, and they prescribed medicine after medicine, which I took without af- fording me any relief. I also tried mercurial and potash remedies, witb the same successful result, but which brought on an attack of mercurial rheumatism that made my life one of untold agony. After suffering for four years, I gave up all former remedies and commenced taking Swift's Specific (S$. 8.8.) After tak- ing several bottles, I was entirely cured and able to resume work. I consider Swift's Specific (S. S. 5.) the greatest medicine for blood poi- soning to-day on the market. A Prompt Cure. Two bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S.

How many people know that the state of Georgia owns a natural ine- briate asylum? And, nevertheless such 1s the fact. “It is the most wonderful spring in the United States,” said special offi- cer Broderick, of the Atlanta police force. “To what spring do you refer?” “Indian spring. three men to that spring who were so far gone on the liquor habit that it looked as if it was impossible for them to quit, and every one of them was cured immediately. One of them had been practically drunk for four months. I took along a supply of whiskey, as people said it would kill him to quit off too suddenly.”, “Did he taper off?” “He took one drink after he got to Indian spring and after that he declined to touch a drop. He said he did not want it at all. He re- mained there three days and you never saw sunh a_ transformation. He was sober as a judge, his face was cleared of its bloat and the red liquor look and he was himself again. Since that time he has been at work steadily and has not touched a drop. That was six months ago, long enough to effectually settle the mat- ter.” “Does it prove equally efficacious on others?” “I have tried three cases and with the same happy result inevery case. I believe that that little spring, which does not hold over a gallon of water, is one of the most valuable in this country, and worth all the hos- pitals in the land for the cure of in- ebriates.” “Why don’t somebody ship the water?” In the first place, the spring be- longs to the state of Georgia, and is just as the Indians left it long years ago. The state government has never permitted anybody to lease it or to attempt to enlarge the flow. The water is free for anybody. In the second place, there isa volatile gas in the water that escapes after a few hours, rendering it flat and rob- bing the water of its extraordinary qualities. For these reasons no at- tempt has ever been made to export it, and people are compelled to go to the spot to enjoy its benefits. I¢ is a wonderful spring in many other respects, but it is the king of all liquor habit cures that I ever seen.” —Atlanta Constitution.
