GAILEY, INVITES ATTENTION TO IILS FALL ST DDK Lodge of Sokrow.—Mount Ver non Lodge, No. 22. held a public *• Lodge ol Sorrow” at Deupree’s Hallon Wednes day night, Dec. 27th, commemorative ot its deceased inemlters. The Hall was ap propriately decorated, with an altar on the East, and columns in different styles of architecture on the South and West, and other emblems of the Order in appro priate places. In the centre was a cata falque, decked with sable plumes and draped in crape. Within its columns, on an obelisk surmounted by a marble urn, the names of the deceased brothers were arranged in shields w’ith silvered borders. Festoons of crape extended around the Hal). The exercises opened with a chunt impressively sung by a quartette, consisting of brothers A. K. Childs, W. II. Jones, J. VV. Brown, and I. W. Hal- lam—the latter performing an accompa niment on the organ. The “Lodge of Sorrow” was regularly opened by Wor shipful Master Wm. King, assisted by Wardens Dobbs and Chappel. After an ode by the quartette as above, the Wor- Selienck', Mandrake Pills. These Pill* clean the I i . ... , . . stomach and bowels of &H the dead and morbid { 8 P' u ‘ -Master ciclitereu an appropriate •lime that Is causing diseaso and decay in the whole •yitf-in. They will clear out the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated there, and rouse It up to a new and healthy action, by which natural and boa’thy bile Is secreted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed by the u<?e of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills; but there . . remains la the stomach an excess of acid, the j ( &t&!ulquc, stopplll; organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow els the lactcals are weak, and requiring strength and support. It Ls in a condition like this that Sehenc.k’s Soawetd Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutralize all excess of add, mak ing the stomach sweet and fresh; it will give per manent tene to this Important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and prepay the system far the first process of a good digestion, and nUlmately make good, healthy, living blood. After this preparatew treatment, what remains to cure mcFt eases of Consumption is the free and persevering use of Schenek'a Pulmonic Byrupw The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri fies the blood, and is readily absorbed into the circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There It ripens all morbid matters, whether io the form of abscesses or tubercles, and then asshis Nature to expel nil the diseased matter, in the form or I roe expectoration, when once it rinens. It is then, by the great healing and purifying nro|»ertics of Sciienck’s Pulmonic Syrup, that au ulcers and cavities are healed np sound, and my patient is cured. The essential thing to be done in curing Con sumption is to get up a good appetite and a good THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUltFITOZl -The primerv cause of Consumption Is derange ment of the digestive organs. This derangement produces deflclent nutrition and assimilation. By assimilation I mean that process by which the no- | trlment of the food la converted Into blood, and { thence Into the solids of the body. Persons with I digestion thus Impaired, having the slightest prs- ! disposition to pulmonary disease, or If they take I cold, will be very liable to have Consumption of | Ihe Lungs In some of ILs forms; and I hold that It will be impossible to cure any cose of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first thing to be done Is to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased mucus and slime, which Is dogging these organs so that they cannot perform their functions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For this purpose the surest and best remedy Is Mandrake Pills. These Pills dean the I hwuau i Pubi^c Meeting.—We publish (III111l « j a call forfa public meeting at the Town J Hall tomorrow night, to nominate Town : officers twhc clcctcU in January. It is important if suck's meeting is heM, that it be a lull and fair expression ot the popular will. We therefore urge our Town readers to attend the meeting. If the meeting should net be large, we suggest the propriety of calling meetings in each Ward, at an early day next week to nominate Wardens and to express their choice for other Town officers. We are actuated by no objection to the present B< »d, and by no deair j to changa it, but as a meeting is called, it is impor tant that i^ be well attended, or that the oruinations be referred to Ward meet ings. It is important to avoid division, and especially important to have a Board that will co operate efficientlv in the railroad enterprise just inaugurated, and who will manage the finances wisely, as we believe all concede the present Board has done. There is pressing need of important changes in the Town charter, but it is not, perhaps our province to urge them now. It must be apparent to all familiar with our Town affairs, that it is impossi ble to administer the affairs of the Town satisfactorily without an increased reve nue. Who is Intendaat, or who War dens—however important—i* secondary to the prime question of raising a reven ue sufficient to maintain an efficicut Town government, and carry forward improve ments essential to the character aud pros perity of the place. A change in the mode of electing the police, and an increased night police, arc essential to good order—but how tar these questions are to enter into the com ing canvas, we know not. The selection of Town officers without these needed re forms we know to be a matter of little concern to many of our best citizens. DIED, 1b Athciu, Go., De?. 20th, Mr*.

SSSsumSTFane, r Hou-erday Mischief. — The night before Christmas was vocal with a variety of unseemly noises and actions which might well have frightened old Santa Clans from his mission, and even made old Nick himself blush for his pro teges. There was not only a sound of revelry,” but the night was fairly hideous with the detonation of guns, pistols, and fire-works, the rattle of rocks against pri vate residences, the displacement and de struction of gates and fences, the desecra tion and defilement of premises of the church and its ministers—unearthly yells, and all sorts of satanic vandalism, which would disgrace a wigwam of first class swages. It was more 1 ke the imps of pandemonium hailing the birth of a new devii, tliau the rejoicing of a Christian people in eommemoratijn of the advent of a Redeemer. If civilization is not a failure, and it is proposed to maintain the forms of civi’- ized life, measures ought to be taken to detect and punish the authors of such vandalism, and prevent its recurrence. If we are bent on la-coming savages, we may well nil tlith the mockery of law. nnd abandon the pretences ol order and de cency. Guove Academy.—We desire to call the attention of those citizens of Athens who are interested in the ed ucation of their children, to the School notice of Mr. H. R. Bernard, in this issue of our paper. Mr. Bernard has had considerable experience, and no small measure of success in his pro fession. We wish him the continu* ance of a full sliare of public patron age- [communicated. J Town Meeting. A meeting of our citizens is hereby called for Saturday, the 30th inst, at 7 o’clock, p. m., at the Town Hall, to nominate an Intendant, members of Council, Clerk of Council and Police officers for the ensuing year. 1 [communicated.] Town Election. We notice in the Banner of the 22d insti, the re-nomination of the present town officers for the year 1872. We have no personal objection to any one of them, and think that they have discharged their duties to the satisfac tion of the citizens. But we would re spectfully suggest that this matter of nomination, in conformity with a salu tary custom, be left to the citizens gen erally, aud that a meeting of our citi zens be called at an early day for that purpose, where we all can meet and determine upou a proper ticket. Many of us think that the services of a for mer most efficient Intendant should I* considered nnd rewarded at that meet „g, i,v a re-n-'mi at'on, and that we cannot present a better name for that ba»u. office than that of Capt. J. E. Rrrcu.
