TOFT’S EMPieiißliT. This unrivaled preparation has per formed some of the most astonishing cures that are recorded in the annals of history. Patients suffering for years from the various diseases of the Lungs, after trying different remedies, spending thou sands of dollars in traveling and doctor ing, have, by the use of a few bottles, entirely recovered their health. “WON’T 63 TO FLORIDA.’’ New York. Auguat 30,1872. DR- TUTT: Dear Sir When in Aiken, last winter, I used your Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit from it than anything I ever took. lam so well that I will not go to Florida next winter as I intended. Send mo one dozen bottles, by express, for some frionds. ALFRED CUSHING, 123 West Thirty-first Street. Boston, January 11,1874. This certifies that I have recommended tho use of Dr- Tutt’a Expectorant for diseases of tho lungs for the past two years, and to my knowledge many bottles have been used by my patients with the hap piest results. In two oases where it was thought con firmed consumption had taken plaoe the Expectorant effected a cure. R H. SPRAGUE, M.D. “ We can not speak too highly of Dr- Tutt’s Ex* pectorant, and for the sake of suffering humanity hope it may become more generally known.”—Chbis TI AN APVOOATK. Sold by Druggists. Price 81.00 Used in nearly every locality in many States. Settled Beyond a Doubt.—No one questions the fact that more cases of whites, suppressed and irregular menses and uterine obstructions, of every kind, are being daily cured, by Dr. J. Brndfield’s Female Regulator, than by all other remedies combined. Its success in Georgia and other States is beyond precedent in the annals of physic. Thousands of certificates from wo men everywhere pour in upon the proprietor. The attention of prominent medical men is aroused in behalf of this wonderful compound, and the most successful practitioners use it. If women suffer hereafter it will be their own fault. Female Regulator is prepared and sold by L. H. Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga., and may be bought for $1 50 per bottle at any respectable Drug store in the Union. EFFECTS TRULY WONDERFUL. Cartersville, Ga., April 20, 1869. This will certify that two members of my im mediate family, after having suffered for many years from menstrual irregularity, and having been treated without benefit by various medical doctors, were at length completely cured bv one bottle of Dr. J. Bradfield’s FE.M vLE REGULA TOR. I therefore deem it my duty to furnish this certificate, with the hope of drawing atten tion of suffering womenkind to the merits of a medicine whose power in curing irregular and suppressed menstration, has been proven under my own personal observation. Its effect on such cases is truly wonderful, and well may the remedy be called “Woman's Best Friend ” ■- Yours respectfully, 4t. JAS. W. STRANGE. MARKET REPORTS.

An Elberton blood, who, the night of the illumination and torchlight proces sion, bought three tin cups and a half gallon of coal oil to celebrate the elec tion of Tilden and Hendricks, is rearing and pitching because the Electoral Tri bunal has counted in Hayes. He is for war.

Several acquisitions to the male school this week. Hon. J. J. Burch reached home last Friday from Atlanta. Wagons are coming in from the moun tains almost daily, 1 aden with meat or corn. Col. T. J. Bowman and party left for the glades and streams of Florida last week. The Presbyterians, we believe, will have no more interments hereafter in their church yard. It is a source of great gratification to know that work has actually commenced on the courthouse. Proprietary medicines are playing hob with the legitimate bar-room business, is the opinion of an old sage. Three revenue officers passed through Elbert last Monday. The object of their visit is doubtless to break up stills. A novel entertainment is in prepara tion for Elberton, nothing similar to which has ever been seen here before. We have the authority to announce that Tilden’s defeat was not the cause of the courthouse being in mourning. Work on the Elberton Presbyterian church will be resumed at an early day, with the prospects of an early comple tion. A large lot of green pine wood has been purchased for the courthouse—in tended to prevent fires. The average eaves-dropper, who loads up at one place to unload at another, sometimes lays in a falsehood or two to round off his periods. Court in Madison county next week. We will be on hand, and be glad to set tie with the subscribers we have and take the names of many others. Emory Speer will address the people of Madison county at Danielville Thurs day in courtTeek. He is a full-fledged candidate for Congress and will be found hard to beat The farmers of Elbert county are said to be farther advanced in work than ever known before. The motto seems to be retrenchment and reform—in buying goods and guano. One of the irksome responsibilities of life is to be a railroad president without a road, and have a thousand and one people meet you every day and ask “how are the prospects ?” The bill making the judge of the county court a member of the county commissioners and fixing bis salary, did not pass; but the bill increasing the jurisdiction of the county court in civil cases became a law. THE GOSPEL OF MERIT. Where there is much rivalry, in the manufac ture of family medicines, he who would succeed must give positive and convincing proof ot mer it. This is an age of inquiry. People take nothing for granted. They must know the “wln>” and “wherefores” before acknowledging -UTesuperiority of one article over another Among the few preparations that have stood the test, those manufactured by R. V. Pierce, M. D., of the World’s Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., have for many years been foremost. The truth of any statement made concerning them can be easily ascertained, for Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery are now prescribed bv many physicians in curing obstin ate cases of Catarrh and incipient Consumption. The Discovery has no equal in curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchial and Nervous Affections. It allays all irritation of the mucous membiane, aids) digestion, and when used with Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets readily overcomes torpid liver and Consumption, while the Favor ite Prescription has no rival in the field of pre pared medicine in curing diseases peculiar to females. If you wish to “know thyself” procure a copy of “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” an illustrated book of nearly 1000 pages, adapted to the wants of everybody. Price $1.50, postage prepaided. Address the author, R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. *o CORN AT $1.05. Corn can be had at these figures by calling soon, of J. T. McCarty. JUSTCorn Meal always on hand. Home Brieflets. That $3.60! Court-week nears. Return day has gone. Gentle Spring ! Pshaw! The meat market is lively. What about that pump dipper? And still it continues to peel 'em. The Sunday-school continues to grow. New impetus has been given the Y. M. C. A. The streets will b 6 worked at an ear ly day. Mr. Cotter at the Methodist church next Sunday. Is it too late to talk about a quaran tine for Elberton ? The legislature has adjourned and the lawmakers are at home. There was a six-horse-wagon-load of meat in town last Saturday. An Elberton man has a gun to loan out when the applicant is too sick to use it. With any town in the State can El berton vie for female beauty. This is not blarney. The man that lost the line of his preacher’s argument the other day, is very disconsolate. At last! yea, at last! the work on the conrthonse has commenced, and our heart leaps for joy. There is no telling how many inabit ams a town has until the measles partici pate in taking a census. That was a vile slander that said our railroad president was growing thin. He makes as pretty a shadow as he ever did. The girls are now being good and sweet to the old folks so as to obtain that duck-of-a-spring-hat, or that latest style tilter. Nobody is more competent to esti mate the quantity of cotton an average cow can get on the outside of than the Elberton merchant. The Elberton baseballists occasional ly Bay a word or two about practicing at the game, but as yet they have not com menced to handle the ball and bat. Well, boys, it is “steep,” but you will find all along the rugged road of life that there are many difficulties attendant up on joint-stock companies. Paddle your own canoe, that’s the motto. Gradually, he is begining to re member something about it. He now recollects that there was a first-class ho tel in Marietta, and perhaps the church at which he married had a sexton. The many schools scattered through the county are Baid to have opened bet ter than was expected by the respective tutors. It is a good indication to see the means of education prospering. The cotton yard in town that some time ago, was packed full of the fleecy staple, has been almost cleared, there be ipg but ten bales left. The most of it has been shipped by boat to the city of Angusta. One of the new features of the Y. M C. A. is the formation of a bible-class, with Prof. Ballenger as teacher. This gentleman made an excellent speech in the interest of the Association last Sun day afternoon. “No, no,” said the old gent to his “would-be son in-law the other night, as the young man was taking his leave at 12 o’clock. “No great objection to your visiting my daughter, but damphi can stand the present prices of kerosene oil!” Elberton society has been recently re vivified by the return of the accomplish ed Misses Jones, who have been adorn ing the social circles of the “upper ten ’ of the towns of Atlanta, Griffin, and Madison for sometime past with their presence. We would again say in behalf of our prejudiced organ friends that there is scarcely a church of any note in the country but what use this instrument, and if Elberton ever had a greater repu tation for religion than any other civiliz ed town we never heard of it. An Elberton Mrs. Partington having heard that the young ladies used cards when visiting now-a-days, declared “that the times had sadly degenerated, that before her mother would have counten anced the use of the dirty things she’d have seen her daughter in the cold, cold tomb. There is a man in town who possesses what he calls a “genealogical tree,” and by it he can tell you all about his ances try for many generations past. They will do very well for the good honest days of yore, but it won’t do to keep too close up with your family connections now-a days. Will it ? As the farmers are now on the eve of pitching their crops, we take this oppor tunity of whispering in their ears a se cret, it this: Plant cotton—next fall when the market will be firm at the price of 5c., and com at $1.50, it will be so nice to be able to say that you’re feeding your family and stock on the staple. Dun Blackwell, of Kuckersville, has recently purchased anew double-barrel ed shot gun, and the game in the section through which he hunts is becoming scarce. If a wild turkey happens to see him before he shoots, it will walk up to him and surrender, preferring to die like civilized birds than to perish at the mouth of a howitzer. "When Dr. Deadwyler, last Sunday af ternoon with a religious paper in hand, took his seat out on the balcony to en joy a delightful sun bath, he fell asleep, and began dreaming about the Sierra Nevadas, and in an audible tone he said, “Lovely indeed the mimic works of art, but nature’s works far lovelier— and if I was a be tin’ man I'd wager the last dose of physic I’ve got that that blue-glass cure ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.” We have, without fear or favor, given the matter cool, deliberate, unbiased and serious consideration and the conclusion at which we have arrived is, that if the lady has no objection and the gentle man no objection, and the lady’s father doesn’t care and the gentleman’s father doesn’t care, and the lady’s mother is willing and the gentleman's mother is willing, there is no impropriety in occu pying the sam pew in church. If you’re married you cannot sit together with im , punity without first obtaining the con- I sent of your mother-in-law. Deati of John H. Christy. We learn with sincere regret that this gentleman died in Athens on the morn ing of the 26th inst., at 5 o'clock a. m He has edited and published the Watch man for a long number of years, and has won a host of friends who will mourn his* loss We have known him for a long time, and have cherished for him the kindest feelings and most sin cere regards. He was a gentleman of noble feelings and generous impulses, and scorned to join in any undertaking that he was not satisfied was perfectly legitimate and honest. Fertilizers. We have it from good authority that the quantity of fertilizers already pur chased up to date in this counly, shows a considerable decrease in compaiison with that bought np to March Ist, last year. Our farmers, by degrees are be ginning to see the importance of and economy in manufacturing their own manures, and we doubt not that in time foreign fertilizers will lose their hold on the planters, at least to some ex tent, and the farming interest of the country be greatly benefitted thereby. Now, raise your own corn and meat, and in a few years you will be astonished at your own prosperity. Is not this sound doctrine ? A Pleasant Surprise. A CARD OF THANKS TO THE LADIES. On last Wednesday the parsonage in Elberton was the scene of a pleasant affair. It had been quietly arranged by the ladies of the/jhurch and congregation, and, early in the day, smiling servants, literally loaded, commenced coming in with articles good and substantial, consisting of hams, shoulders, fresh meat, fish, fowls, potatoes, butter, eggs, pickles, preserves, cake, and other good things. After all, we need not to have been so greatly surprised, for we were told be fore coming that our lot had been cast amongst a most generous and hospitable people. Kind ladies, the nice and valu able articles you sent were all thankfully received and highly 'appreciated. Such generous attention should encourage the heart of any pastor. May the blessing of God be returned to you and yours a hundredfold. For myself and family, I sincerely thank you, every one. W. J. Cotter. February 23d, 1877. + The Good Templars. We daily hear of the growing interest taken in this order, and the prosperity of the organization has certainly been greater in the last six months than for several years past. Those who espouse the cause of temperance in this place are leaving unturned no atone that will ad vance their cause, and are zealously working in behalf of the order under whose banner they have enlisted. Let the good work go on. The Young Men's Christian Association. Nothing affords us more pleasure than to note the interest manifested in the above named organization. Its mem bers are energetically working for a re vival in their association, and their efforts will doubtless be rewarded. The regular meetings are held every Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Methodist church. Let all who desire attend. An invitation is extended to all. Shall we Nominate? The question is frequently asked in the county, “Shall we hold a convention and nominate a candidate for the constitutional convention ?” We are decidedly of the opinion that it would be unwise to hold a county convention for such a purpose. The people are sick of them, and were one to be held its ac tion would not be respected. Let the people select their own candidates. It is wonderful to realize the new principle. Dr. J. H.

Harper, the inveter ate fisherman, succeded in angling last Monday a succor out of Beaverdam creek that weighed a fraction over two pounds. This is certainly a large fish for this stream, which has heretofore had rather a poor reputation for producing anything except minnows and snakes. Astronomers have discovered, within the past few weeks, that a dreadful conflagration has been going on iu the beautiful constellation of the Swan. Some mighty sun has undoubtedly been destroyed, along-side of which our earth would look like a boy’s marble. The distance is calculated about 300 000,000,000,#00,000, —or it may only be 300,000,000,000,000 —but it is no greater than the difference between Durjeas’ Satin Gloss Starch and Duryeas’ Improved Corn I Starch and all similar preparations offered by j other manufacturers.

The Last Hope Gone. Oregon, to which many had pinned their faith, has been declared for Hayes by the party machine at Washington. The Democrats of the South have pur sued a conservative course throughout, and the Northern Democrats have ex pressed some indignation thereat. Hayes will be inaugurated next Mon day. Some ©f his political friends are holding out inducements to representa tive Southern men in shape of fat offi ces. They say be will appoint true men to positions in Southern States, will give carpet-baggers the go by, and per haps have a Southern representation on his cabinet. Will the bait take ?

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS FOR 1877. On the Ist of January, 1877, the Mobnino Nbw3 entered upon its twenty-seventh volume, and, it is hoped by its conductors, npon a pros perous year. Every returning anniversary has witnessed its extending influence, and to-day it is the text of the political faith of thousands of readers. Its uniform consistency and steadfast devotion to principle has gained for it the confi dence of the public, thus enabling it to contrib ute laigely to the triumph of the Democratic party. In the future, as in the past, no pains will be spared to make the Morning News in every re spect still more deserving of the confidence and patronage which has been so liberally extended to it by the people of Georgia and Florida. The ample means of the establishment will he de voted to the improvement of the paper in all its departments, and to making it a cornorehensive, instructive and reliable medium of the current news. Its staff of special correspondents—at Washington. Atlanta, Jacksonville,Tallahassee, and other points of interest—has been reorgan ized with a view of meeting every possible emer gency that may arise, and pains will be taken to make its commercial news, foreign and domestic, complete and reliable. As we are about entering upon the new year, we desire to call especial attention to our club rates of subscription. POSTAGE FREE.
