Absolutely Pure
RETURN OF A PRODIGAL.
Crockett Enterprise:
It is a fact that it haa never attempted to
conceal, that the Enterprise opposed, not
"ailver," but the "unlimited" coinage of that
metal. It did this because it did not believe
that such a policy would knock the shackles
ott'ot labor, and bring that prosperity to the
country ihat "must" come, or olse our form
of government will terminate in disinflation
»r.d a "ease of blood."
In this view the close friends of the Eoter-
Erise, though unlimited coinage silver mon,
now that it has been thoroughly honest in
its conviction*. It has said all along that
with one more trial for the friends of the
gold standard, and they failed to bring that
prosperity that ought to be hero and which
the peopie demand, then it proposed to sur-
render ••unconditionally" to the dictates of
"four-fifths" of its 'patty on the question of
silver or any other party policy ami in the
future, as in the past thirty-five years, when-
ever the democratic buglo blows, you will
find the Enterprise in the Iront ranks with
unsheathed sword, ready to cut, slash and
slay in defense of the principles of democ-
racy, and the more desperate the struggle
the more it will like it.
The Enterprise has played truant to its
Earty lone enough, and the unrest its course
as caused it will remain its own secret.
It now recognizes with Borro *—consider-
ing the prosperity and happiness of the peo-
ple—the error it made in giving its support
in the national campaign to the democratic
disscntors, Messrs. Palmer and Buckner,
whose candidacy made ''sure" the election of
the republican candidates for president, and
the legislative acts of that party during the
last lew months, ought to be sufficient to
convince every true democrat in the land,
that returning prospeilty can never come to
this country and people, so long as the re-
publican party is in control of the g jvern-
ment. Reference is here had to the pas ge
of the robber tariff bill, through which the
trust combines, though the bR is but little
over ono woek old, have .-Iready made some
$200,000,000, which the poor of this afflicted
land will have to pay. ,
But aside from all these distressing facts, a
Democrat will submit to the behests of his
party though he may not endoise every
plank in its platform. In the last campaign,
''millions" of democrats looked with as
mu—H di. trust upon the unlimited coinage of
silver po' "v a* lhe Bntt'rF »e did, but they
remained with aC* vote? »|lb <h?
it now recognizes and a..""11* that they were
right and it was wrong, because believes
now as it has ever believed, that the hu^A
the prosperity of the counti/ .ind the perpe-
tuity ol our system of government, depends
upon the dominancy of democratic tenets.
Hence, the Enterprise, because it don't
know how to be anything eLe except a dem-
ocrat, returns to the democratic party to
Itiy, whatever may be its fttirepolii s, ai d
however much it may be jerrea at by its
former good money associates or Iree silver
fanat'es. And as this political prodigal is
tired of his wanderings iroin the democratic
fold, in the beautiful and touching language
of Ruth, when her mother in-law, Naomi,
Announced the necessity for their separation,
the Enteiorise is ready to exclaim, touching
' is future loyalty to its party:
" Entreat me not to leave thee, or to retui n
The Sweet Word "Home."
Home! It is a charmed word.
Through that one syllable thrill un-
told melodies, the laughter of chil-
dren, the sound of well known foot-<
steps, and the voices of undying af-
fection. Home! I hear in that
word the ripple of meadow brooks
in which knee deep we waded, the
lowing of cattle coming up from the
pasture, the sharp hiss of the
scythe amid thick grass, the creak-
ing of the hay rack when we
tramped down the load. Home!
Upon that word there drop the sun-
shine of boyhood and the Bbadow of
tender sorrows and the reflections
of ten thousand fond memories.
Home ! When I see it in a book or
newspaper that word seems to rise
and sparkle and leap and thrill and
whisper and chant and pray and
weep. It glitters like a shield. It
springs up like a fountain. It
thrills like a song, lb twinkles like
a star. It glows like a sunset. It
sings like an angel. And if some
lexicographer, urged on by a Bpirit
from beneath should seek to cast
forth thp.t word from the language
the children would come forth and
hide it under garlands of wild flow-
ers and the wealthy would come
forth and cover it up with their dia-
monds and pearls; and the kings
would hide it under their orowns,
andjafter Herod had hunted its life
from Bethlehem to Egypt, and ut-
terly given up the search, some
bright, warm day it would flash
from among the gems, and breathe
from among the flowers, and toss
from among the coronets, and the
world would read it bright and fair
and beautiful, reasonant as before :
Home ! Home ! Home!—Talmage.
There aro one hundred and
fifty female dentists in the United
States, which clearly demon-
strates the fact that the new
woman is some on the "pull."
from following alter thee, for whither thou
goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will
lodge; thy people shall be my people, and
thy Uod my God.
"Where thou diest, will I die, and there
will be buried; the Lord do so -.o mo, and
more also, if aught but death part thee
and me."
Conditions have now reached that point
that, to halt or split hairs about platform
declarations is to bo "damned " The ques-
tion now is, "shall our form of government
be preserved ?" This is practically the only
issue now before the American people. It is
plain that this cannot be done under republi-
can >ule. It "can" bo done under demo-
cratic rule. Then in the contest of I898 and
1900, let pat.iotlc democrats present an tin-
tbroken Iront to the enemy, and then the
wuDtiy will be safe.
In taking this course, the Enterprise de-
sires it distinctly understood, that it has no
harsh epithets to bestow upon its former
gold standard associates, for it has stood
shoulder to shoulder with them upon many
hard fought bsf'e fields, and it knows that
they are made out of the -stuff of which he-
roes are moulded. But, boys, we have been
In the wrong in antagonizing our party,
whatever we may think of any one of its
act*, and M democrats end patriots, we must
«taad together in the itnure against the com-
mon "enemy" of the laboring classes and the
prosperity uf our common country, the re-
publican parly. Therefore, boys, come
back where you belong, in the democratic
organization, and if we tail is future battles,
we will fall as we have oilen fe" before, with
our faces to the enemy and flying the flag of
chril liberty, good government and the op-
pressed poor of the land I Can you longer
refraks from existing under such a banner !
Surely you cannot. If ou' pari/ makes a
mistake open »oy 'ssue, it JflH correct the er-
ror in due time, if a>« remain together and
keep it in power. Hence, it occurs to the
Enterpri e t'lat joi-r dmy in the premises is
clear. Why wv1 you longer hsit between
two opinions when so much is at stake ?
As the Entei prise never does anything in
a half hearted, oon-< ommittal way, demo-
crats can rely upon it tSat it will "line up"
with them upon every field whore fighting is
to be done, without stopping to ask who is
in "command," or what the numbe-s cf the
enemy may be, and there it will remain un--
til victory perches upon our banners, or wo
90 down is oloody defeat!
Is the external Indication of a con-
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearable. It is
a mistake to think that this local irrita-
tion is the disease itself—it is simply an
evidence of a disordered condition or the
blood.#The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. I*

Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were heeded and
a course of S.8.S. taken promptly, as ap-
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
of Eczema nnless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always

Printing Done at Home.
The new board of supervisors of
Marion county has requested the
county officials to buy all blanks,
envelopes and letter heads from Ma-
rion county printers, and threaten
to out foreign printing bills until
they will not want to do work for
Marion county.
The resolution cites that home
letter heads and home
printed blanks may have no red
istretfa ftrt'und them bat they are
good eneugh poor folks anu the
money is kept in Ovulation in Ma-
rion county and not vaulted away in
Abe coffers of some city printing
company; that we would rather see a

MR. WILLIAM ARMSTONO.
"I have been a sufferer for eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching 1
had to en4ure.
"The extent tl my sufferings can be
appreciated when I state that my con-
dition was such that I could not take
my bed, and for three mouths I never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physician*
with no succeM, and tried all the patent
«Hfdicinea * recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. I then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. I went to
Florida, thinking that a ctnn.gr of cli-
mate and water and the citron trail
might car* m«, but found no cure.
i«'I then tried S.S.S.and after threedaya
the burning and itching subsided, and
I continued to improve steadily until I
