Pearson's Weekly.
There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Fain Balm. Hardly a
week paeses but some member of the.
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cared by it. A touch
of rhenraatistu or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflamation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive im
mediate treatment before the parts- be
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
lor a week or two. A lame back may be
cared and several days of valuable' time
caved or a pain in the side or chest re- j
lieved without paying a doctor bill. Pro
xnre a 50 cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
' great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease abd therefore
requires constitutional " treatment.
Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F.. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
const) to tional cure in the market.. It is
taken Internally ih doses from' 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send fqr circulars

SOUTHERN PLANTATIONS.
Conducted Differently from the Way They
Were Managed Under the Old Begrime.
. Plantations at the present day are
conducted very differently from the
way they were managed under the old
regime. The one I have in mind com
prises something over five thousand
acres. The proprietor reserves about
two hundred and fifty acres for his
own 'planting1 and rents out the re
mainder to small farmers, who give
him so many pounds or bales of cotton
for the rent, in proportion to the quan
tity and quality of the particular piece
of ground they cultivate, the size of
house and corn house of which they
have the use, etc. Much discrimina
tion is required in the selection of ten
ants, for defective or indifferent farm
ing will impoverish the land and en
danger the landlord's chances of col
lecting his rent. Most of the tenants
are negroes, forty families of that race
residing on the place.
Of these, says the Boston Transcript,
there are a number who are excellent
farmers, thrifty, industrious, .prompt
in paying their obligations, and thor
oughly interested in every tiling that
pertains to their business, the wife
working as hard as her husband hard
er, in fact, because when her1 field work
is over she cooks the simple meals,
washes the clothes and patches the gar
ments for her numerous family by the
blaze of a light wood torch, after- the
members of the household are rolled in
their respective "quilts" and voyaging
in slumberland. She does more than
this, for she raises chickens and tur
keys, sometimes geese and ducks, using
the eggs for pocket money and to ob
tain the tobacco which is as necessary
to her comfort as to that of her hus
band and sons. .
The majority of the negroes go to
work in the early morning, with no
breakfast, or perhaps only a crust to
riibble on. When they come in, at
twelve o'clock, a ; stirabout is made (a
dish concocted of corn meal, salt and
water, and looking very much as the
name suggests) of which all the family
partake, the elder members eating an
"allowance" of bacon. Any luxuries
they may enjoy appear at the evening
meal, such as coffee, flour, etc. Usually,
however, their fare is of the simplest,
and cold water their beverage, except
on Sundays and high days, celebrated
.usually with reference to some reli
gious festival. Too much credit cannot
be given these hard-wprking wives and
mothers, who hoe, rake, cook, "wash,
chop, patch and mend,, from morning
until night. "Very often garments yeiil
be patched until scarcely a trace of the
original foundation material, can be
seen, and there are many cases where
the wife is much the best "cottop chop
per" of the two, and her work far more
desirable than her husband's. ,

Comfort A. Fmnuco'i TJnlqae Manner of
Disposing of His Cases Some Stories
That Are Told To-lay of the
Verdicts Rendered. .
When Pulaski county was first settled,
in 1838, a class of Indian traders and
stock thieves, overran the county and
terrorized the law-abiding pioneers till
forbearance -ceased to be a virtue with
them, and they met in a mass conven
tion and nominated and elected Com
fort A. Freemaen, their justice of the
peace." 'Squire . Freemaen, says a Chi
cago Tribune correspondent, possessed
but a slight idea of what the state stat
ues contained, , therefore his justice
court was run upon the appearance and
character of the 'charges preferred; as
the 'squire termed it: "Common horse
sense and general principles in evi
dence." He held his court under a
cluster of plum trees that was thickly
covered with grapevines. A stump of
a tree he used as a table. The jury used
a hewed log for their seats; the specta
tors used the most 'convenientjspots on
the ground. Early reminiscences, as
told by the old settlers, say that in the
early part of 1840 Wilhelm Restrux's
cow wandered far away frtfru her pas
ture field of water lilies and cattails
and no trace of her whereabouts was to
be found ' until, the following spring,
when a worthless character and land
squatter by the name of McTurtle had
the cow in his possession and refused to
give her up. Mr. Restrux replevied the
cow, and evidence during the trial was
in favor of Mr. Restrux, and the court
so decided. The justice of the peace,
while in the act of entering his verdict
upon his docket, overheard McTurtle
remarking: "Nothing been sed 'bout
that calf." His honor was egotistical,'
and, walking up to him, seized him by
the throat. "Say, you cow thief, give
up that calf or I'll pound niggerheads
out of you." The calf was given up.
Charles Blackstone, being charged
with stealing a 6lab-sided, razor-back
hog, the evidence was against . him,
and the court instructed his bailiff to
apply fifty lashes to the convicted
man's back. Upon adjournment of the
court the bailiff went out to find a
good ox gad, and during his absence
the attorney for Blackstone filed a hear
ing for a new trial. The court agreed
to hear the argument and adjourned for
dinner. In the meantime the bailiff
returned andescorted the prisoner into
the timber and carried out the court's
instructions, and Blackstone, not under
standing a motion for a new trial was
to be heard, entered no', a word of pro
test against the whipping received and
went back to the court, which was
then in session. - His attorney was
pleading for a new- trial. Blackstone
did not understand this, and exclaimed:
"Great snakes, squire, I have had one
whaling." The court was astonished,
and said: "Yank that drunken cuss out
of here and pound a bucket of grease
out of him." His attorney protested,
and the court threatened then to tar
and feather the attorney if he "didn't
shet up." In the meantime Mr.-Blackstone
received the second whipping,
and was returned to the court. He
found his attorney in a heated contro
versy with the court. Mr. Blackstone
fell upon his Jcnees and pleaded the
court to make that lawyer "shet up" or
he ''would be hanged for that hog yet,
and the wild fern would wave over his
graya by the ' Pink Mink." The court
awakened to the . fact that something
was wrong', and proceeded " to kick the
bailiff out of the room. ,
. The squire's wife notified him one
day they were out of meal and he at
once filled a sack with shelled corn
and started to what is known as the
"Niggerhead Flutter mill." Upon .bis
arrival he found the mill owner was
absent, and as the squire did not want
to make the second trip he filled the
hopper and started the burrs to grind
ing. It being a slow and tedious job
he concluded to take a nap, which he
did, and in an hour or so he woke up
and went to the meal-catch bin and
discovered several dogs lapping up the
meal as it came from the grinding
burrs. The squire went home.roaring
mad and issued a warrant for the mill
owner and sat in judgment upon the
trial and fined the mill owner five
bushels of meal.
Wilson Cornell, was charged, with"
selling whisky to the Indians. During
a heated controversy between the op
posing counsel the squire and Cornell
slipped out the courtroom and they
were soon seen rolling a ten-gallon keg
into the squire's cabin. ' The court
then decided that the act upon which
this, charge was founded hail, expired
when Indiana became a state and that
an Indian's evidence was no good until
he became a citizen,' ' . .
z As time progressed 'Squire Freemaen
blossomed as an attorney at law. His
shingle read as follows: - . ":
FREEMAEN, ETEBNT AND
LAW SQXTIRK. "
Yet to-day, in conseuuence",bf this
trivial error in orthography, he. is an
honored citizen of the Pink Mink re
gions. . . : - -
Kelly and Lane became involved in a
heated controversy - over , a "yaller
hound," and Kelly , had Lane arrested
to keep the peace. 'Squire Freemaen
was in trouble how he should draw up
the papers. After a thorough search
a form was found in the. statute under
the head "Vagrant Act." The words
appeared in brackets. (John Doe and
Richard Roe.) , The squire was in a
quandry what to do, and called in his
next best friend o help him out.- His
friend insisted that "William Kelly
and George Lane" was proper, but the
squire stuck to it that "John Doe and
Richard Roe" was proper, and no argu
ment would convinpe him otherwise,
and his docket reads": "(John Roe and
Richard Roe) are vagrants and stand
committed to jail until fines and costs
are paid. Kelly vs. Lane paid their
fines."
