THE GAZETTE. Ii Wednesday, Becembei 20,1876. The Senatorship. After looking carofully over the list of names presented all over the State for our next United States Senator, we know of none that could more worthily fill the ; position than the present incumbent. Hon. T. M. Norwood enjoys the respect and esteem of his, fellow Senators, is r dignified, able, and industrious repre sentative of our State, and it would be difficult to fill his" position by a better man. He is able and ready to speak ■whenever the proper time'arrives, but is not one of those who believes in flooding the'country with utterances which are two often misunderstood or misconstrued by the people of one section of the coun try. But one fault has ever been pointed out in his record —his vote on the back salary grab—and as that has been en dorse by the re election of Mr. Stephens, wo presume that is not’ccnsidered a very heinous offence by the people of at least one Congressional district of the State. Further, we believe that Senators should ho chosen from different portions of the State, and almostf all the promi nent candidates for the position are from the section so worthily represented by Senator Gordon. This is really no valid objection, but it wouidjgive more general satisfaction to the people, we doubt not, if this question was given'proper consid eration. We can see no goodVeason, therefore, why Mr. Norwood should not be his own successor. ~ ♦- We append the appointments of the North Georgia Conference for the Elber ton circuit: A G Worley, Presiding Elder. Elberion : W J Cotter. Bethlehem: C A Mitchell. Elbert: W A Florence. Jefferson : W A Farris. Mulberry : H H Eakes. Carnesville: C A Connaway. Danielsville : N Z Glenn. Homer: GjTl Bonner.

W P Rivers, Barnesville. W F Lewie,’ West Point. W F Quillian, Carrolton. [Solicitor General. As’tbis officer has to be appointed for the Norther Circuit by our new Goveror, we do not know one who would fill the place So well as our accomplished young friend, J. P. Shannon, Esq. With an ambition to excel, with energy enough to discharge any duty he undertakes with faithfulness,’anda knowledge of law for one so young, he could fill the post he aspires to as creditably as any one who is named as a candidate, and he has some very honorable and able com petitors. John is worthy of the place, he needs it, and we ardently hope he will get it. I , j - ——- Vick's Floral Guide. We are in. receipt of this beautiful publication for the first quarter of 1877. James Vick is one of the, most liberal men in the country. He offers for the best exhibition of cut flowers, at every State or county fair, premiums ranging from 820 down. How he can afford it is not our business, but it stamps him as one of the generous men of America After trying Mr. Vick’s seeds for several years, we can conscientiously testify to their excellence. —- 7 * ♦ ‘ South Carolina. The news from our neighbor State ha3 been of a very meagre character the past week. We learn that General Hampton was peaceably inaugurated last Thurs day, but of any circumstances attending it we are in total ignorance. We- have unabiding faith, however, j that every thing will work out right. The Members of the Democratic leg islature of South Carolina had their drafts for pay honored at the bank. This knocks the nigger out of time, and Rad icalism without money to back it is dead. 5 f“! The residence of Mr. R. B. Cade was burned in Abbeville last week. It is not difficult to tell what the color of the in cendiary is, because Mr. Cade is an active Democrat. To. the voters of Elbert county : I feel it due to myself and to you to make some statement through The Gazette. I learn that there is a rumor in circulation that I am trying to run on the Radical ticket among the negroes. That is false. I have not said anything to white or black that should give rise to any such rumor. Asa poor, crippled soldier I earnestly solicit your votes, assuring you that when you support me you are voting for a full blooded Democrat. E. B. Higginbotham. Dec. 16lb, 1876. To the voters of Elbert county : E. 8. Higginbotham who is seeking the office of Tax Collector at the ensuing election, lost both his legs while fighting for his country, and to my own knowledge he is a very poor, needy man, dependent upon his friends and county men to put him where he can make a support for himself and family. He is competent to fill the office and a very worthy man for the position, and I earnestly solicit you to cast your votes for him. J. W. Norman. Dec. 16th, 1876. E. B. Tate, Jr., will have on hand for the holidays, a full supply of goods suit ed to the occasion, consisting of attrac tive toys, useful and beautiful presents, fruits of every kind, nuts of every varie ty, and candies without limitation. Also large lot. of canned goods. Give him a c !ll) - __ The S. S. Tree. It was determined by tbs Elbert,on Sunday school last. Sunday to have the Christmas tree Tuesday night, the 26’h. Much is being done to make the ceiebra tion a success, and we are sure that if all concerned do their duty it will be the festival of the holidays, and an occa sion long to be cherished and remem bered in the hearts of the little folks as one freighted with pleasure. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills Will be found to possess those qualities nocesary to the total eradication of all billious attacks, prompt to start the secretion? of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have invented a remedy for these stubborn com plaints, ivhich develop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme tq the human , system. That the properties of certain vegeta- j bles comprise all the virtues of calomel without j its injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, \ rendered indisputable by scientific researches; j and those who use the Mandrake Pills will be j fully satisfied that the best mvdicines are those j provided by nature in the common herbs and : roots of the fields. These Pills open the bow-els and® correct all ! billious derangements without salivation or j any of the, injurious effects of calomel or 1 other poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted j by these pills as will be seen by the altered color I of the stools, and disappearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of the tongue. Ample directions for use accompany each box of pills Prepared only by J. 11. Schenck & Son, at their principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets Philadelphia,and for sale by all druggists and dealers. Price 25 cents per box. lm Three Points for Consideration. During tbe past live years VEGETINE has been steadily working itself into public favor, and those who were at first most incredulous in re gard to its merits are now its most ardent friends and supporters. There are three essential causes for those hav ing such a horror ol patent medicines, changing their opinion and lending their influences toward the advancement of Vegetine. Ist—lt. ij_.au honest,y prepared medicine from barks ,root®nd herbs. 2nd—lt honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for it, without leaving any bad effects in the system. 3rd—lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials from honest, well know citizens, whose signatures are a sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the matter. Taking into consideration the vast quantity of medicine brought conspicuously before the public through t.he flaming advertisements in the newspaper columns, with no proof oi merit or genuine vouchers of what it has done, we should be par doned for manifesting a small degree of pride in presenting the following testimonial from Rev. J. S. Dickerson, D. D., the popular and ever genial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Bos ton. The Tired Body Sues for Sleep. Boston. Marchf6, 1874. 11. R. Stevens, Esq.: Dear Sir—lt. is as much from a sense of dut}- as of gratitude that, I write co say that your Vevetine—even it it is a patent medicine—has been of great help to me when .nothing el?e seemed to avail which I could safely use. Either excessive menta. work or unusual care brings upon; me nervous exhaustation that desperately needs sleep, but as desperately de fies it. Night after night the poor tired body sues for sleep until the day-dawn is welcomed back, and we begin work tired out with an al most fruitless chase after rest. Now I have found that a little Ykgetine taken just before 1 retire gives me sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the usual narcotics. I think two things would tend to make brain-workers sleep. Ist—A little te-s work. 2nd—A little more Vegetine. This prescription'has helped me. Now I have a particular horror of “Patent Medicine,” but 1 have a greater horror of being afraid to tell tbe straight out truth. Tbe Vege ti-n'e has helped me and I own it up. Yours Ac., J. S. DICKERSON. Taiiiablf Evidcuce. The following unsolicited testimonial from Rev. 0. T. Walker, D. D formerly pastor of Bowdoiti Square 1 hutch, Boston, and at present settl and in Providence R. 1., must be deemed its reliable evidence. No one should fail to observe that this testimonial is the result of two years’ experience in use of Vegetine in the Rev. Mr. Walker’s family, who now pronounce it invalu able : Rrovidencr, R. 1., 164 Transit Street. H. R. Stevens, Esq.: I feci bound to express with my signature the high value I place upon your Vegetine. My family have.used it for the last two years. In nervous debility it is invalu able, and I recommend it to all who may need an invigorating, renovating tonic. 0 T. WALKER, Formerly Pastor of Bowdoin S !uareChu.rch,Bo’n. The JSest Evidence. The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, pas tor of the M. E Church, Natick, Mass., will be read with interest by many physicians; ttlso ’ those suffering from the same disease as afflicted the son of the,Rev. 13. ; S. Best. No person can ! doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about the curative power of Vegetine : .Natick, .Mass.. Jan. Ist. 1874. Mr. 11. R. Stevens: Dear Sir—-We have good reason for regarding your Vegetine a medicine of the greatess value, We feel assured that it lias been the means of saving our son’s life. He is now seventeen years of age ; for the last two years he has been suffering from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was so far reduced that nearly ail who saw him thought his recovery impossible A council of able phy sicians could give us but the fainest hope of his ever rallying ; two of .the number declaring that lie was beyond the reach of human remedies, that even amputation could not save him, as he had not vigor enough to endure the operation. Just then we commenced giving him Vegetine and from that time 'to the present he has been continuously improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown away bis crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong. j Though-there is still some discharge from the | opening where his limb was lanced, we have tbe j fullest confidence that in a little time he will be perfectly ettued. He has taken about three dozm bottle of Veg etine, but lately use but little, as he declares he is too well to be taking medicine. Respectfully yours. E. S. Best, Mrs. L. C. F. Best. Reliable Evidence. 278 Baltic St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 14,1874. H R. Stevens. Esq. : Dear Sir —From personal benefit received by it's use, as well as from per sonal knowledge of those whose cures thereby hive seemed almost miraculous. I can most heartily and sincerely recommend the Vegetine for the complaints fpr which it is claimed to euro. JAMES P LUDLOW, Late Pastor Calvary Bap't t ltarch, Sacramento, Cal.

The daily edition will on week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sun days a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns; while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and character that are already tamiliar to our friends. The Sun will continue to be the strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of tho substitution of statesmanship wisdom, and in tegrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud in the administration of public affairs. It will contend for the government of the people by the people and for the people, as opposed to govern ment, by frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting of votes, enforced by military violence. It will endeavor to supply its readers—a body now not far from a million of souls—with tho most careful, complete,and trust worthy accounts of current events, and will employ for this pur pose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reporters txnd correspondents. Its reports from Washington, especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless ; and it will doubtless countiuue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those übo thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it will endeavor to merit the confidence ot the public by defend ing the rights of the people against tbe encroch uients of unjustified power. The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a month or s(>.so a year, post paid, or with the Sunday edition $7.20 a year. The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20 a year, post paid. The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the rate of $1 a year, post paid Tho benefit ot this large reduction from the picvious rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by individual subscribers without the necessity of making up clubs. At the same time, if any of our friends choose to aid in extending our cir culation, we shall be grateful to them,and every such person who sends us ten or more subscrib j er? from the place w II be entitled to one copy |of the paper for himself without charge, At I °ne dollar a year, postage paid, the expense of piper and printing are barely repaid; and, con sidering the size of the sheet and the quality of its contents, we are confident the people will consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest newspa per published in the world, and we trust also one ot the very best.
