But thereto one Tonic and Alterative in ex
istence—the best tbe world has ever known—

The Backwardness of the Season,
la a subject of general remark among plant
ers and farmer^. Very little plowing has
been dono yet, and, of course, crops are not
planted- There is now some appearance of
settled weather, but it will require some time
to prepare tbe land for planting, even if there
shall be no more rain for a month. We may
safely assume, therefore, that planting will
necessarily be much later this year than
usnal. It doea not follow, however, that tbe
crops will suffer thereby, as those planted
late sometimes turn out beet. As a general
rule, early planting insures the best yield.
It is to be hoped that the agricultural com
munity will not again repeat the blander of
planting too much cotton. If the farmers
and planters of tbe cotton States will only
adopt tho common-sense rale of producing
their own supplies and not depend ppon others
for them, cotton will never again fall below
25 cents per pound. Now, this is a very plain
proposition, and there is not a sensible man
in the State who will question its truth fora
moment; and everybody knows it is better to
produce ten bales of cotton at 25 cents than
make twenty at 121. Then, why is it that
all will not adopt this policy I Every planter
is anxious that the eotton supply shall be re
duced—every man urges his neighbors to
plant less, knowing that tho price will go np ;
but each one tries to steal a march on tho
others by making a big crop and getting a
high price. Tbo result is, thoy all make
largo crops and no high price follows. Worse
than all this, it requires all the cotton money
—and sometimes more too—to purchase the
necessaries which ought to have been made
at home.
This suicidal policy will keep any people
poor and dependent as long as persisted in,
no matter what matured advantages they
may enjoy. Is it cot time to abandon it and
try something better T
Re-Dedication of the Presbyterian Church.*
As many of our readers are aware, tho ser
vices of tho Presbyterian church In this city
have been held in tho basement for somo time
past, as tho body of tho church has been un
dergoing repairs. The work having been
completed, on Sunday morning last Rev. C.
W. Lane, the popular and zealous pastor of
this church, preached an exceedingly appro
priate and powerful re-dedicatory sermon to
a large and attentive congregation, taking
as his text tho 12th, 13th and 14th verses of
tho 116th Psalm :
“ What shall I render nnto the Lord for all
bis lmnefits toward mo t
" I will take tho cup of salvation, and call
upon tbo name of tbo Lord.
“ I will pay my vows unto tbo Lord now in
tbe presence of all bis people."
The church bas been thoroughly repaired,
the pulpit, walls, pews, Ito., handsomely re
painted, and this beautiful edifice is now an
ornament and an honor to our city.
Tho pastor announced that visitors hereaf
ter might feel at perfect liberty to take seats
wherever they wish in the church, and would
not be considered as intruding.
Aid to the Sufferers.
From information derived from a member
of tbe committee, we may safely state that our
citizens have contributed six or seven lain
dred dollars for tbe benefit of the sufferers by
tbo late cyclone. Considering tbo scarcity of
money, this is doing pretty well for Athens.
Ninth District.
Tbe splitting of Clarke county, to oreate
the new county of Oconee, gives this District
twenty, instead of niuetcen counties, as here
tofore ; and, under tbe rule adopted at Clan-
land, will give the two counties six inste ad o
five votes in convention.
Convention.
Most of the counties in this Congressiona
District selected yesterday, (sale day) as the
time for holding meetings for the appointment
of delegates to the Congressional Convention
at Gainesville, which will meet on the 14tb
instant. A lew of these meetings were held
on Saturday. As the proceedings have not
yet come to hand, we have no means of know
ing what tbe complexion of the Convention
will bo.
Many persous aro sangnino that tbs Hon.
B. H. Hill will bo nominated on tbe first bal
lot, while others think Hon. H. P. Bell will
get the nomination. In the meanwhile, tbe
Hon. W. P. Price is before tbe people as an
independent candidate.
The election will occur, as will be seen by
reference to tbe Governor's proclamation,
on Wednesday, the 5th day of May.

compauies them. The city politicians, as well
as other people, aro poor ; they have not got
over the panic yet, and hence they have little
or nothing to spare for brethren iu the country.”

Press Association.
Some of our cotemporaries apeak of tho ap
proaching mooting of tho Press Association in
this city in May rather doubtingly. Are we
mistaken about it T We did not attend tho
last meeting and have not tho proceedings be
fore us, but our recollection is that tho Asso
ciation adjourned to moot in this city in May.
We trust that our little city will give the
brethren a hospitable reception, such as they
havo met with elsewhere. We cannot pro
mise them such a magnificent display of hos
pitality as was witnessed in Savannah and in
Atlanta on more than one occasion—but wo
can show our appreciation of tho “ fourth es
tate” by doing our best to make their sojonrn
among us as pleasant as possible.
Personal. J
We are pleased to meet in onr office our old
friend, Mr. C. D. Camp, of Atlanta, who has
been in onr city for several days, selling Bow-
yer’s Coal oil Neutralizer. And. in this con
nection, we would advise all who barn Kero
sene oil, to nse tbe preparation be is selling,
as it renders even common Kerosene absolute
ly safe. Our worthy Mayor, Dr. Wm. King,
Jr., gave it a thorough test, and certifies that it
improved tho best C. West & Sons 110° oil 43
degrees, and that be considers it invaluablo.
Small Grain.
From some personal observation and a good
deal of inquiry, we are satisfied that the small
grain crops—wheat and oats—are looking
unusually well. There is so little rye and
barley sown in this section, that it is not
worth taking into the account, although they
would both pay well here.
So far ns wheat and oats are concerned,
however, tbo reports from tbe surrounding
region cad the up-country aro highly encour-
agiog—while, by personal observation, we
are satisfied that-these crops are looking un-
usually well between this city and Augusta.
DO YOU WAYT HEALTH?
Wnv Will Ye Dik?—Death, or what in worse, is
the inevitable result of continued suspension of the
menstrual flow. It is a condition which should not be
trflad with, Immediate relief is the only safeguard
against constitutional ruin. In all cases of suppres
sion,suspensionor other irregularity of the “courses,”
Dr. J. Brzdfield’s Female Regulator is the only sure
remedy. It acts by giving tone to the nervous cen
tres, improving the blood and determining directly to
the organs of menstruation. It is a legitimate pre
scription, and tho most intelligent Doctors use it.—

Bradfield A Co., Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sirs:—I
take pleasure in stating that I have used /or tbe last
twenty years the medicine you aro putting up, known
as Dr. Bkadfikld’s Female Regulator, and con
sider it the best combination ever gotten together for
the diseases for which it is recommended. I have
been familiar with the preparation both as a practi
tioner of medicine and in domestic practieo, and can
honestly say that I consider it a boon to suffering fe
males, and can but hope that every lady in our land,
who may be suffering in any way peculiar to their sex,
may be able to procure a bottle, and their sufferings
mhj not only ho relieved, but they inay be restored to
health and strength.
With my kindest regards,

VINEGAR BITTERS
No Person can take these Bitten
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinboab
Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that
ever sustained the sinking system.
Bilious, Remittent, and Intermit
tent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the
valleys of our great rivers throughout the
United States, especially those of the Mis
sissippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Bra
zos, Bio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile,
Savannah,Roanoke, James,and many others,
with their vast tributaries, thronghont our
entire country during the Snmmer and Au
tumn, and remarkably so during seasons ol
unusual heat and dryness, are invariably
accompanied by extensive derangements of
the stomach and liver, and other abdominal
viscera. In their treatment, a purgative,
exerting a powerful influence npon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose equal
to Da. J. Walker’s Visbovb Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which tho bowels are
loaded, at the same time stimulating the
secretions of the liver, and generally restor
ing the healthy functions of the digestive
Tans.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headaobe,
Pain in the Shoulders, Couchs, Tightness
of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of
the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Month, Bil
ious Attacks,Palpitation of the Heart,Inflam
mation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of
the Kidneys,.and a hundred other painful
symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee of
its merits thnn a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula,or King’s Evil, White Swel
lings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes,
etc., etc. tn these, as in all other constitu
tional Diseases, Walker’s Vised ab Bitters-
have shown their great curative powers in
the most obstinate and intractable cases.
For luiluuimatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilions, Remittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these
Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are
caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. —Persona en
gaged in Paints aud Minerals, such os
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vin
egar Betters occasionally.
For Skill Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter,
Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pus
tules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald
Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs,
Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and
Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name or
nature, are literally dug up and carried out
of the system in u short time by the use of
these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and oilier Worms, lurk
ing in the system of so many thousands, are
effectually destroyed aud removed. No sys
tem of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthel-
minitics, will free the system Rom worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young or
old, married or single, at tho dawn of won •
anhood or tho turn of life, these Tonio Bit
ters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Tanndice.—In all cases of jaundice, rest
assured that your liver is not doing its work.
The only sensible treatment is to promote
the secretion of the bile and favor its re
moval. For this purpose use Vinegar Bit
ters.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
