Nothing equals lir. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion. It is a most powerful restorative tome,
Iho combining the most valuable nervine prop
erties, especially adapting it to the wants of de
bilitated ladies suffering from weak back, inward
fever, congestion, inflammation, or ulceration,
or from nervousness, or neuralgic using. Mr.
G.W.Seymour, druggist of Canton, N.Y.,writesDr.
Pierce as follows: “The demand of your Favor
ite Prescription is wonderful, aud a man stated
to me that bis wife bad not done a day’s work in
live months, when she commenced taking your
Favorite Prescription, took two bottles and is
now on the third bottle, and is able to do her
housework alono and milk fourteen cows twice
a day.” Dr. Pierce’H Favorite Prescription is

OBITUARIES.
ATKINSON.—Onr young brother, It. T. Atkin
son, departed this life on diet January, at the
residence of Dr. .’simmons, of Stone Mountain.
This young brother was staying withDr.Hiugmofis,
who was treating him for dyspepsia, which ter
minated his life. The deceased is a son of Jtev.
W. 11 Atkinson, so well known to our denomina
tion, and who is now preaching to our church in
Brunswick. It affords us great satisfaction to
State that wo had several religious con vernations
dear brother, and found him clear and
much interested upon ibis all important sub
ject. lie had become deeply Interested in our
Buuday-acbool enterprise; although not able to
attend, he would proparo bis lossons. One
week before he died he attended service in our
jClArch, and when an limitation wus given for all
thosg wiin desired ip live nearer to their Saviour
than they had lived the past year, to extend to
us their hand, he was among' the lirst who ad
vanced and extended to us bis baud; and, no
doubt, is now living much nearer bis precious
Jesus ! “To depart and be with Christ is far
better.” All who knew young Atkinson, spoke
_ft him a* a good boy.
‘ We feel deep sympathy for the bereaved par
ent and kindred, aH not one of them were
present when lliis dear (in'istian died. We can
assure them that all was done for him that was
possible, during liis last moments, as we aided in
“ closing liis eyes. ’’
Thank God, there is a homo where parents
and children can meet, where there is no more
parting ! j. M. Stillwell.
POWEKB.—Died in Macon, (la., Julyfitb, 1874,
in the 78th year of her age, Mrs. A. E. Powers,
wife of Maj. Oloni. Powers, late of Effingham
county. She was for more than forty years a
member of the M. E. cliurcb, aud adorned her
profession by a iovely, consistent, Christian life.
In her were combined all the graces of a natur
ally amiable and unselllsh disposition, with an
untiring industry and persevorauce, sanctified
by a spirit of Christian meekness, gentleness
and self-denial, lu all the relations of life she
exemplified the holy principles 6f the Christjhn
religion, and-having so lived, death hod for her no
terrors. Twas but the voice that Jesns “ sent ”
to call “her” to His arms.
During the greater part of ker life she was an
invalid, and for several years past a great suf
ferer, but dum.g the few weeks of her last ill
ness the great Physician mercyfully relieved her
of all pain, and her death wiis, as her life had
been, calm, quiet, and peaceful.
“So fades a slimmer cloud away ;
Ho sinks the gale when storms are o’er.
So gently shuts the ej'e of day ;
bo dies a wave along the shore.”

Hill church, in Julv, 183 i; aud for fifty years
they jonreyed together in the conjugal relation,
having been married December 10th, 1825. She
was truly a mother in Israel. In all possible
wayg slie showed her interest in the oburch and
the cause of Christ, and largo numbers in the
ministry and ont of it can testify to her cordial
Christian hospitality. She fell asleep in Jesus
in the seven ty-first yoar of her age. M.

Corn. It can be made on the farm*by any sensible farmer, at a cost of §lO 00 per ton, and be
used in the same manner as the standard Fertilizers We lsve decided to place it within the reach
of every farmer by the sale of “ Farm Rights," with full directions for making and using, in pref
erence to manufacturing and offering for sale by the sack, thus avoiding a heavy expense in the
way of freight, bagging, etc., and thereby being able to sell at extremely low rates.

This is to certify that we have used Black’s Improved Fertilizer this yoar, with satisfactory re
sults. Our neighbors are using Commercial Fertilizers, but after examining our crops, say Black's
is the best. Our cotton grew off more rapidly and opened a week earlier than their's. We have
used other fertilizers aud are satisfied that this is the cheapest aud best The cost of the compost
about six dollars per ton. CHANDLER MAXWELL,

MEDICAL.
National Surgical Institute.
THE Southern Branch of this Institute has been
established in Atlanta, and occupies Col. Adair’s
new building opposite the passenger entrance to the
ear-shed. This Institute has, for fifteen years, been
treating diseases and deformities of the spine, limbs,
face, hip, knee, ankle and other joints; also, ulcers,
diseases of the eye and ear, catarrh, piles, fistula, fe
male diseases, private diseases, paralysis, etc. Over
20,000 cases have been successfully treated at the In
stitute, aud, in inventing and perfecting apparatus
and surgical appliances, thousands of dollars have
been expended by the proprietors since its organiza
tion, in 1859.
It was chartered in Indianapolis, under the laws of
the State of Indiana, in 1868, with a capital stock ol
$50,000, which it was found necessary in Is 7o uj in
crease to $500,000. It has in its employ, as surgeons
asst-dan ts, machinists, instrument makers, ete., over
seventy skilled men, aud its current expenses for 1878
amounted to nearly SIOO,OOO.
IU supplies are purchased in large quantities, and
all foreign articles used are imported direct • this to
gether with the facilities it has for the rapid manufac
ture of appliances, and the vast number of cases treat
ed, enables its proprietors to do the work cheaper than
any similar Institution in the land. Their patients
are from every State in the Union and from the Can
adas and Central and South America.
The very large number of patients from the Bouth
and their earnest solicitations, led to the establishment
of a Southern Branch for their convenience as well as
to acccommodute those who were unable to make a
journey to Indianapolis. Atlanta was selected as a
location for the Branch on account of its accessibility
healthful climate, and natural advantages. ’
That the selection was a judicious one ha-, already
been verified. The Atlanta Institute was opened in
February last, and applications bv letter are coming
by thousands, and already over 400 patients are under
treatment
The building is well finished and furnished through
out, is three stories In height, besides a basement
which is dry, well ventilated, and well lighted.
The basement is used for work-shops, gymnasium
vacuum treatment, and catarrh-room. Here also is
the machinery used in the treatment of paralytics, the
power being furnished by an engine conveniently lo
cated. The reception-room, office, parlor, consulta
tion-room, secretary’s room, apparatus-room, ladles’
fitting-room, bath-rooms, dining-room, operating
room and water-closets are on the second door. The
third floor is occupied by patients. The sleeping
rooms are each furnished with good eatpet, bedstead,
hair matress, wash-stand, bureau, chairs, etc. Hot
and cold wuter in basement and on second floor. Gas
throughout the house. The facilities and appliances
for the treatment of patients, and the arrangements
for their comfort and convenience are equal to those
at the “ Home Institute,” and the corps of surgeons
assistants, machinists, apparatus-makers, etc., is am
ple and efficient.
Letters of inquiry receive prompt attention.

MYRICK’S
TONIC EXPECTORANT
After thorough trial of its virtues has proved
to be the very best remedy for all
Throat and Lung Diseases
known to this country. It not only improves
but absolutely cures colds, coughs, croup, asth
ma, whooping cough, bronchitis, laryngitis, hem
orrage and consumption.
It is a very powerful Expeetornnt,
enabling the lungH to relieve themselves prompt
ly of the mucus that clogs them, and cures at
once the most distressing coughs.
It is also a most excellent Tonic, aud acts with
promptness and power upon enfeebled and bro
ken down constitutions, and restores the patient
to health, vigor and happiness.
Myrick's Tonic Expectorant may bo taken in
large quantities if necessary, with perfect safety,
as it is entirely free from all poisonous drugs.
In presenting this medicine to the pubhe, in
order to show them it is no humbug, it is proper
that we eubjom a few certificates from those who
have tested its virtues.
