The State Fair
Begin, on Monday next, 27th iast. The people ot
Macon, under the lead of their energetic Mayor
teem to be spreading themselves in every direction
-o make the Fair a complete success The only fears
•ve have heard expiessed is that there will not be
room in Macon to lodge comfortably the crowd that
will be there. Arrangements have been made to have
two extra trains a day to run from Miiledgeville every
morningand return at night. By that arrangement
many can attend the Fair during the day and be
lodged in Miiledgeville at uight.
We agree with st me of our exchanges in hoping
'hat the Fair will be located permanently in Macon
Macon is the most convenient place The citizens of
Macon have been to much expense and trouble in
making preparation for it, and whenever it baa beeD
taken to Atlanta it has been n failure substantially.—
None have been failures in Macon. Let us have the
Fair established permanently in Macon, or at leant
during good behaviour.
Oen. Toombs Speech in Warren.
We publish in another place a synopsis of Gen.
Toombs’ speech in Warren county, aDd ask for it the
attention of all our readers. It will be seen that Gen.
Toombs strongly urges a Constitutional Convention
to amend or to abrogate our present Constitution and
to revive our old Constitution so far as it is applica
ble to our present condition. The Constitution under
which we now live was not made by the people of
Georgia, but by Carpet Baggers and Scalawag, and it
does not suit the people. The terms of office are too
long. By being kept in office, men become corrupt.
Let us return to annual elections. Let the mem
bers of the Legislature be elected for one year,
the Senators for two and the Governor for two.
The long terms of office were made by corrupt men )
for the benefit if corrupt men. A people who are not
willing to spend one day every year in cliosmg their
rulers, are not fit to be free, and will soon lose their lib
erties. Let us also, return to October elections and
have the Legislature meet the first of November and
get through legislation by Christmas and return to
their homes before the beginning of the year. If the
elections are held the first of October and the sessions
in November, there will be but little time or oppor
tunity for the membeis to be manipulated by the At
lanta lobby ring. Let us returu to the good old cus
toms before the war, when we had honest office hold
cis and honest legislation.
The October Klertiona.
Pennsylvania and Iowa have gone Republican as
was expected. In the rural districts of Pennsylvania,
tLe Democrats have mado large gains and they would
have carried the State, could they have had a fair elec-
ion. But in the citits of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
farritbuigli bribery and con upticn were rampant. To
Jiow how the election was managed in Philadelphia,
we need only note a single fact. The Republican can-
■idate for Judge, was Gordon, a gentleman of good
barneter, but for State Treasurer they nominated the
nfami us Mackey a man who has been an active lead
er in all < f ihe hands that have lately disgraced the
State Gordon’smajoiity in Phi’adelphia was only
about nine thousand; whilst Mackey’s is reported at
twenty-five thousand. The Radicals knew that Mackey
was in had repute in (lie rural districts, and therefore
determined to give him a good start in Philadelphia,
and stuffed his boxes with sixteen thousand extra
tickets,
Ohio Election.
The Democracy of Ohio have done gloriously. From
present appearances they have swept the State, elec
ting their Governor and the whole State ticket, and a
majority in the Legislature; thus securing the election
of a Democratic U. S. Senator. This victory will
give new life and hope tc the Democracy of other
Stales.
The Democracy of Oregon havte elected Xeasmitb,
a Democrat, and in Iowa the Democracy have made
great gains.
It is now time for the Democratic bugle to sound
a charge all along the lines, and wake up the Demo
cracy of New York that they may emulate their
brethren in Ohio.
Our Young Folk*.
It is a happy conceit of a famous company of North
ein publishers to bring out, monthly, a magazine adap
ted exactly to the wants and capacities of yourgread-
ers. Many a man who loathes books through life owe?
his disgust to the attempt to force him, in youth, to
comprehend boobs adupted solely to older heads. It
requires a happy genius to write successfully for the
young. We doubt if Shakspeare or Milton, or Byron
could have writleu a successful hook for children: Nay
we are almost sure these great geniuses would have
failed to enlist the aitention of the young, however
able to entrance the world of grown-up people through
all time by ihe glory of their intellectual achievements.
We are, therefore, the more leady to admire tile felici
tous adaptation ot “ Our Young Folks” to the folks
that air young. Published monthly hy F. R. Osgood

Macon, October 17, 1873.
Tbis city is in tire inreresting situation of ladies who
“love their lords’’—it is about to bring forth the mos*
brilliant “ State Fair' that has ever been S.wn in Geor.
gia. Mayor Huff, as ac:o-irn*ui -»n th- r iyal occa
sion, is over-busied with prupirVi >r.‘. Nothing else
is talked of—nothing else is tun ight > . Hr -. br the
Fair. The ladiss are, of course, viewing i i vise
iuterest the approaching display—the Fair, aa ’ *t-
o/’-fair! We can sincerely pray that these bril.Un
expectations he not disappointed. We are identifis i
in interest witli Middle and Southern Georgia; and
while we are friendly to the interests of otherfiections,
we glory in the prosperity of these.
A glance at the Fair grounds, lying in full view as
we came hither on the Maoon & Augusta R. R. re
vealed rapid and continuing improvements. The
‘‘great Roman Hippodrome” (we believe that is what
they call it) exhibits an immense amount of nnfinished
carpentry in wooden materials. It appears to be rap
idly approaching completion. We were not previously
aware that the ancient Romans had constructed their
“ Hippodiomrs" of yellow-pine lumber; but we now
suppose they must have done so. Mayor Huff knows
what be is about. Really, we expect the approaching
State Fair at Macon to eclipse everything else of the
sort that has ever transpired in Georgia. Let the
good people flock to it—each and every one—for one
day each, at least. They may never have an opportu
nity to see such a brilliant display of the sort again.
And just here, let us speak a word of hotels. The
old “ Brown House”—ihe right thing in the right place
—will,of course, be crowded to overflowing. So great
iris been the pressure to pre-engage rooms there, that
young Billy Brown (the veriest Prince of Landlords)
gave notice to-day of refusal to engage rooitis before
hand— adopting the good democratic rule, “First
come, first eerved.”
We here take occasion, from personal inspection, to
pronounce the “ Planters Hotel,” opposite Buff's new
building, on Cherry Street, kept by J. H. Bremer, as
cue of the very nicest places in the world to stay. It
is near the Passenger Depot -, is thoroughly refitted,
and admirably kept. This house was formerly kept
by Mr. and Mrs. Dense. The charges here are ex
tremely favorable. And inasmuch as our hungry read
ers may wish meals, Ac. often, (particularly the so-
forth) without lodging, we can commend them confi
dently to the exquisite Restaurant and Bar of Ells &
Laney, where our own “ inner man” has gratefully re
ceived replenishing vigor. I believe you sport an ad
vertisement of Ells & Laney.
And should any of the fair “damsels” in attendance at
the great Fair, or at any other occasion, desire in Ma.
con to have their witching countenances photographed,
we discovered on yesterday the very place. Be su
to search out No. 8, Cotton Avenue, where “ T. B
Blackshear, Photographic Artist," wtll make unsur
passed pictures.
We had the pleasure of meeting in this city on yes
terday Gen. I hos. F. Drayton, whose family resided
in Midway during the war. He is now connected with
railroad interests in Virginia and the Carolinas.
more genial, cultivated and agreeable gentleman
not to be met with this side of the River Styx.
Tiade in this city is extremely dull, and money
piuehingly scarce. We may safely predict that it will
not appear to be less scarce (however the fact may
be) while the bulk of the cotton of the incoming crop
is in the hands of the producer Of course the lowest
prices are forced on the necessitous planter. So far
we have heard, the planters are honorably and nobly
bringing forward enough cotton to pay their debts.—
Surely the sharp experience of this very year, from
a “ money panic” if not quite made to order yet suit
ing speculators in the staple exactly—surely this will
urge planters into the policy of producing more provi
sions and less of the ” fleecy staple,” which is so uni
formly the subject of a ‘gambling’’ mode of dealing at
present.
That Macon is rapidly developing into a first class
Southern city is apparent from the amount of startling
crime committed. We heartily congratulate the place
on this circumstance—somewhat on the pious priucipl
of Rev. Siduoy Smith, in one of bis letters, that “ther
are too many men in the world : every two ought to
combine and kill a third,” Possibly Macon may vie
in crime wi h Northern cities of equal size in a thou
sand years or so; but we hope not. Still we hear
that Judge Weems of the City Criminal Court has quite
a plethora of business to dispose of daily. Only
few evenings since an enterprising young man known
as Don heavy, encouraged by bis mother in furious
and profane language, slew his step father and wound
ed a bystander.
“Kind Words,” a little Sunday School paper, edited
by Rev. S. Boykin, of this city, lias made its appear
ance. We expect it to bestow pleasure and instruction
on the Sunday School scholars of our land.
We regret to hear that Mr. Baradeil P. Stubbs, for
a great number of years a resident of your vicinity
died to-day at the residence of hie son-in inw. Mr. Jem-
ison, in this city. He was in the 75th year of his age.
Among the evidences of progress and thrift in the
“ Daily Herald” newspaper of Atlanta, we may not
that an editorial department of that paper is establish
ed here. Our old friend, N. C. Stevensou, is “City
Editor” iu Macon, and supplies a daily column ofspi
cy and readable news. The time-honored and able
Telegraph \ Messenger ot this city is nevertheless tA (
paper of Middle Georgia, and is unsurpassed in excel,
fence of every sort as a newspaper.
The streets are dry and chokingly dusty. The clouds
of dust floating continually through the dray-bestirred
streets by day remind us of stories about those suffo.
curing sand-storms of the Great Zabara. These broad
Macon streets, too—possessing the width of sandy ten
acre fields—are distressingly uninhah ted in the inner
parts. Dry, sandy, heated by the semi-tiopical sun
the traveler who needs to make a journey from one
side to the distant other feels the need of camels, drum
edaries.and other Arabian equipments, and eyes the
distance keenly to discover if possible some needed
oasis. Ve.ily, verily there is such a possibility as
streets of too great width !
We must close with the remark that we understand
both of the biag literary institntions of Macon are ex
ceedingly well patronized, the ” Pemale College” and
the “ Mercer ” We rejoice that collapses in fancy
railway stocks, and Wall Street abominations, shall not
eclipse the light of learning from youthful minds.

The Idea that railroads owe something to fucif cus
tomers is spreading. The Central Pn-.-ilic railroad has
issued circulars to its employes giving these sensible
directions: “Treat all persons doing business with yon
as any good business man would Fre.it his cn-tomors,
and notes if you were coufern gn favor Endeavor
to make the road popu ar, as its busiuc.-s depends up- :
on the good wilt of it« patrons.” Employes who (5
not show such “urbanity of manner, politem
uniform courtesy” are notified that they will b
missed.

Washington', Oct. 14.—The following is President
Grant’s proclamation :
The approaching close of onother year brings with
it the occasion for renewed thanksgiving and ac
knowledgement to the Almighty ruler of the universe
for the unnumbered merries which He has bestowed
upon us. Abundant harvests among the rewards of
industry, wilb local exceptions have been among the
blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at home and peace
with other nations have prevailed. Frugal imfnstry
is regaining its merited recognition and its merited re
wards gradually, but under the providence of God,
surely, as we trust the nation is recovering from the
lingering results ofa dreadful civil strife. Forthoseand
all other mercies vouchsafed, it becomes us os a peo
ple to return heart felt and grateful acknowledgements
aud with thanksgiving we may vnite our prayers for
the cessation of local and temporary sufferings. 1
therefore recommend that on Thursday, the 27th day
of November next, the people meet in their respec
tive places of worship to make their acknowledgme; ts
to Almighty Gi a for his bounties and his protection,
and offer him prayers tor their continuance. In witness
whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the
seal of the United Statas to be affixed.
U. S. Grant.

Secretary of State.
Chzap Transportation.—Report of the Senate
Committee,—It is stated that the Senate Committee on
Transportation have agreed to report in favor of three
general water routes; one Northern, one Southern,
and one Middle. The choice ot the location of each
water route has not been determined. The canal prop
osition from the extreme Sooth come np in so unsatis
factory a shape that the committe will probably con
fine itself to recommending a short canal around the
mouth of the Mississippi. The preference of the com
mittee is reported to be in favor of the James river
and KanawaCaual for the central rente. The North
ern interests are.-o conflicting that the committee are
much perplexed how to make a choice between them.
Such are the reports in circulation but it is probable
that they embody the present drifts of the views of the
committee, and not any final determination.
The personal examination by the committee is still
incomplete, and it is not likely that they wiil finish
before November.—Sav. News-
“Belud, Horatio.”—Washington last Ssturday
had an agitated and trying time. First, one Conway,
of Kansas shot Senator Pomeroy, of Kaosas, in the
street, mortally wounding his coat, vest, shirt and un
dershirt, and rapping bis ribs smartly with a spent
ball. Pomeroy says lie don’t know what be was shot
for;_ but Conway charges “ he ruined myself nnd
family. ’ Experts suppose there is a woman in the
case.
The horrors of this affray, however, were speedily
eclipsed hy a sanguinary collision between two sons of
Africa, ill the office of the New Era, wherein one of
them being knocked down for calling the other n liar,
has appealed to tb e code and the most horrid con
quenc-es are anticipated.
Nalsrsl Decay—Protect the Sy*lrm.
The hnman body is a machine, and therefore cannot
endure torever, but, like a watch or a sewing ma
chine, it will last much longer if properly regulated
and duly repaired, than if no pains were token to keep
it in order. The great object of every one who de
sires a long and healthy life should be to put his body
in a condition to resist the life threatening influences
by which we are all more or l.-ss surrounded; and no
invigorant and corrective at present known so effec
tively answers this purpose as the vitalizing elixir
which ander the unpretending name of Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters, has been for more than twenty years
the standard tonic of America. In crowded cities
where the atmosphere is contaminated with the efflu
via inseparable from large populations; iu marshy re
gions, where the soggy soil reeks with miasma; on thi
prairies aud in the forests, where every fall the air i:
tainted with exhalations from rotting weeds and grasses
or decomposing leaves—in short, in every locality
where malaria exists, this powerful vegetable antidote
is urgently needed. Fever and ague, billious fevers,
dysentery, congestion ot the liver; jaundice, rheuma
tism, andall diseases which are generated by infected
air, impure water, or sudden changes of temporal ure,
may be averted by strengthening and regulating the
system in advance with llostetter s Bitters. Autumn
is always a season of peril, especia ly to weak,ru?cep
tible organizations. Even the more vigorous arc up'
to be in some measure depressed by the humid atmos
phere, loaded with deletenousgases produced by vege
table decay. Tbe fall is a period of the year when
the renovation and regulating of the living machine is
peculiarly iinpoitaut, and the Bitters should therefore
be taken daily at this critical season. II lm.
Asiatic cholera in china-
Alntaal Every Case Cared Willi
PA1N-K1LLKR!
Dear Sirs;—During a residence of some ten years
in .Siam and China, as a missionary, I found your
Pain-Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful
scourge the Cholera.
In administering the medicine I found it most effec
tual to give a lea-spooutul of Pain-Killer in a gill of
hot water sweetened with sugar, then, after at
fi teen minutes, begin to give about :i lable-qioonfnl of
the same mixture every few minutes until icitef was
obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities.
Bathethe stomach with the Pain-Killer clear, and
rub the limbs briskly. Of those who had the Cholera,
and took tbe medicine faithfully, in the way stated
above, eight out of feu recovered.
”.REV. R. TELFORD, Missionary iu China.
Dear Sirs:—During a long residence in China I
have used your valuable Pain Killer, both in uiy own
family and among the Chinese, and have found it n
most excellent medicine. Iu the Summers ot IMi2
and 1863, while residing in Shanghai, I found it an nl
most certain cure for cholera, if used in time. Indeed
using it in a great many iustancces. I do not remem
ber tailing in a single case. For three years 1 linv
been residing in this place, more than fiity miles from
a physician, and have been obliged often tii toll up<».
my own resources in cases of sickness. The Chin, se
come to us iu great numbers f .r medicine and advice
Though without medical knowledge ourselves, the few
simple remedies we can command a; e so mm h in ad
vance even of their physicians, that we have almost
dailjr applications. We allow them to come, because
it brings us in contact with them aud opens a door of
usefulness. In diarrhae, eoiic, vomiting, cholera,
coughs, etc., your Pain Killer lies been my chief med
icine. Yonrs, verytiuly,
REV T. P. CRAW’FOhD, Turgchow, Uhina.
Those using Pain Killer should sti ietly observe the
following directions:
At tbe commencement of the disease, take a tea-
spoonful of Pain-Killer, in sugar and water, and then
bath freely across tbe stomach and bowels with Ihe
Pain-Killer clear. Should the diarrhea nnd cramp
continue, repeat the dost every fifteen minutes. In
this way the dreadful scourge may be checked and
the patient relieved in the course of a few hours.
N.B.—Be sure and got the genuine article; and it
is recommended by those who have need the Pain-
Killer for the cholera, that in extreme cases the pa
tient take two (or more) teaspoontuls instead of one.
