An earnest, devoted woman can go ahead even of ministers in getting subscribers for The Index. For All Female Complaints. 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 sold by all dealers In mcdincs. 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.” j ... j LANGFORD.— Died in Clark county, Georgia, on the liith inat., Mrs. Mary Langford wife of Rev. Bedford Langford. Two years ago she was stricken slightly with paralysis, hut the im mediate cause of her death is supposed to have been heart disease. Hhe and her husband were baptized together into the fellowship of Mars 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. Hie greet popularity of thig safe aud effica cious preparation is alone attributable to its in trinsic worth.

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.
