Sudden Death.—Thursday evening,
the coroner U. Patillo was notified of
the sudden deatli of John F. Mason,
an old and worthy citizen of this coun
ty, and immediately proceeded to in
vestigate the manner of his death.
He was found dead in a shop, with
a slight gash on his head, but no other
mark of violence on his person. A
jury was empaneled, and returned the
following verdict:
“AVr , the jury,find that the deceased,
John F. Mason, came to his death
through the providence of Almighty
God.”
Charming.—The presence of Miss
S. C. Howard, yesterday, on the Fair
Grounds, superintending the arrange
ment of the coops, etc., for her splen
did collection of fowls, was very pleas
ant and bespoke volumes to the credit
of that young lady. AVhen it is known
that Miss Howard is one of the most
elegant and accomplished ladies in the
land, the interest she thus manifests in
the Fair is peculiarly grateful as well
as graceful.
Miss Pettie, daughter of Newton
Kennebrew, aged thirteen years, died
oh Saturday the Cth inst.
It is sad to record the death of one
so young, so lovely and so promising;
but in the providence of an all-wise
God it is often the case that the beauti
ful and the good die first.
»Iis thus from warm and kindly hearts,
And eyes where gentlest meanings turn,
Soonost the light oi life departs,
But lingers with tho cold and stern.
Personal.—AVe had the pleasure of
meeting in our office Geo. AV. Sasseeff
who visits our city in the interest of
the popular music house of Guilford,
AVood & Co., of Atlanta and Macon.
He is also agent for the Georgia Musical
To the Public.
The Pain-Killer manufactured by Perry Da
vis & Son has won for itself a reputation that is
unsurpassed in medicinal preparations. The
universality of the demand for the Pain-Killer is
a novel, interesting ahd surprising feature in the
history of this medicine. Tho Pain-Killer is now
regularly sold in largo and steadily increasing
quantities, not only to general agents in every
State and Territory of tho Union, and overy one
of tho British American provinces, but to Buenos
Ayres, Brazil, Uragoay, Pern. Chili, and other
South American States, to the Sandwich Islands
and Cuba, tho West India Islands, to England
and Continental Europe, to Mozambique, Mada
gascar, Zanzibar, and other African lands, and
to Australia, Calcutta, Rangoon and other places
in India.
It has al3*> been sent to China, and we doubt
if there 19 any foreign port or my inland city in
Africa or Asia, which is frequented by American
or Furopean missionaries, travelers or traders, to
which Pain-Killer has not been introduced.
Tho extent of its usefulness is another feature
of this remarkable medicine. It is not only the
best thing ever known, as everybody will attest,
for bruises, cuts, burns, etc., but for dysentery or
cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint, it is the
one remedy unsurpa3sod for efficiency and rapid
action.
In tho great cities of British India, the West
India Islands, and other hot climates, it has now
bocome the standard medicine for all such com
plaints, as well as dyspepsia, liver complaint and
other kindred disorders. For cough3 and colds,
canker, asthma and rhoumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the moat abundant and convinc
ing trials and testimony, to be an invaluable
medicine.
The proprietors are in t'jo possession of letters
from persons of highest character and respons
ibility, testifying in unequivocal terms to cures
effected and the satisfactory results produced, in
an endless variety of cases, by the U3c of this
great medicine.
That tho Pain-Killer is deserving of every one
of tho claims set^p for it, is fully proved by the
unparalelled popularity it has attained. It is a
sure and effective remedy. It 13 sold in almost
every country in the world, and still is becoming
more popular every year. Ita healing powers
have been fully tested, everywhere, and it needs
only to be known to be prized. For sale by all

Undeveloped Vigor.
The feeble and debilitated upually fancy they
are in more hopeless condition than they really
are. The resources of nature are not so easily
exhausted. Even when strength and appetite
foil, when the eyes are paMid and luatreless, the
complexion pallid, tho nerves tremulous, the
body attenuated, and the mind depressed, there
is generally a reserve of latent power behind
such palpable evidencea of weakness.
Various modes of treatment a e resorted to by
physicians in the hope of developing and again
rendering available this store of sleeping vital
ity ; but tbe surest, and indeed the only really
eafe and reliable means of awakening tho dor
mant energies of the human system is a course of
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Electricity, shower baths, the flesh brush, sett
bathing, etc., may be well enough in their way
as auxiliaries, but they do not reach the sources
of tho evil. All physical debility proceeds either
from a derangement of the functions, of assimil
ating, secretive or vital organs, or from sluggish
constitution. In either case, and also in cases
where both cauees exist, the Bittors will produce
immediate and salutary change in condition
of the paticat, and eventually effect a complete
cure. None af the dangerous alkaloids, too oftcr
administered as tonics, can be otherwise than
deleterious under such circumstances, and the
giving of mercury is positively criminal.
The direct effect of the great vegetable speci
fic will bo manifested in an improved appetite, a
more cheerful frame of mind, a gradual return of
strength, an increase of flesh, and a healthier
lomplexion. Meanwhile, however, the constitu
tion, if inert and feeble, will have been roused to
complete renovation by the subtle elements of in-
goration contained in tho Bitters.
