For District Judge.
We are authorized to announce Judge I.
B. McFARLAN D as a candidate for T udgo
of the 33d Judicial District, composed of
the counties of Washington, Lee and Bur-
leson. Election first Tuesday in Novem-
ber.
To the voters of the 23d Judicial District
composed of the counties of Washington,
Lee and Burleson:
I have been of late olten called upon
by persons nn the district, both lawyers
and others, to know whether I intended to
be a candidate for the oflice of District
Judge in this district at the fall election.
I nave also been told by persons of all
political parties, that there was no intention
so far as they knew, to regard the office of
District Judge as a political office at the
coming elecuon. At this determination I
feel pleased, as I would not be willing to
enter into a heated contest for the office.
If the people of the District should see
proper to elect me I shall feel gratified at
the confidence in me thus expressed.
A. S. Broaodus.

all casfri of suppression, suspension or
other irregularities of the "courses," Brad-
field's Female Regulator is the only sure
remedy. It acts by giving tone to the cen-

is a legitimate prescription, and the most in-
telligent physicians use it.
Notasulga, Ai.A-, July 7, 1S77.
Bradfields Female Regulator has been
thoroughly tested by me in a great va-
riety ot cases, and I am fully convinced
that it is unrivaled for all that class of dis-
eases which it claims to cure.

The Bawds.—-The papers
upon which the late Will F.
Garrett, deputy sheriff, arrested
the white prostitutes on Tues-
day last have disappeared and
it became necessary to have
new warrants issued, which was
done on Thursday and some
half dozen or more women were
arrested and soon released on
"a fine, large straw bond."
Sheriff Hutchinson soon discov-
ered this and had the women
re-arrested. Now that the war
is inaugurated we would sug-
gest that it isr hardly fair to ar-
rest the white women and grant
immunity to the colored ones.
Let all be treated alike without
fear or favor.

the white republicans had tur-

judge waded into the white re-
publicans like a hungry darkey
into a big dish of possum and
sweet 'taters. He warned the
colored people to keep their
eyes skinned and not allow
themselves to be gulled or hood-
winked by the white republi-
cans. The crowd was perfect-
ly enraptured— over the beer.

to describe to you a method of
making fruit trees bear, that I
blundered on. Some fifteen
years ago I had a small apple
tree that leaned considerably.
I drove a stake beside it, tied a
string to a limb, and fastened it
to a stake. T|e, next jear that

other blossom appeared on the
tree, and, as Tom Bunker said,
