During a practice of twenty years, I have never
known a medicine to act as promptly, and with such
happy effects. It instantly subdued the most violent

Of a fine Whiskey for Metical or social

contains no foreign substances to give it
flavor or old age. It is the extract of the

of Kentucky—hence bread in a fluid state.

CONSUMPTION CURED.
An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an East
India missionary the formula of a simple
vegetable remedy for the speedy and per
manent cure for Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
Affections, also a positive and radical cure
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Corn-

curative powers in thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known to his suf

As a corollary to our article elsewhere
addressed to business men and capitalists
abroad, we might suggest to our respected
friend and former citizen, Mr. D- A. Jewell,
that lie would be the right man in tho
right place to head a company to establish
a factory on the Oconeo at this place. Ho
knows the value of waterpower over steam
in running a factory, and his experience,
added to his admirable business qualifica
tions, would make success assured. Will
he think of it?
Guano will bo bought—there is no doubt
about that. But there is a great difference
in tho value of fertilizers, and this is im

money by calling on them and buying their
standard article. See their advertisement.

Large Boll Prolific Cotton Seed.—
Mr. Orlando Jewell Informs us that ho has
received very favorable reports from the
farmers who raised the large boll cotton
last year, and many of them have express
ed the determination to plant all the seed
they can get this year. There is no hum
bug about this cotton.and it promises to be
a bonanza to the farmer. Mr. Jewell,
whose reliability Is unquestioned, will war
rant that this cotton Is all that it is repre
sented to be. We will have more to say
about this cotton hereafter, and only men
tion it now to call the attention of farm
ers to it In time. From the representa
tions made to us, by reliable men, of the
increased yield and superior quality of the
staple, we have made arrangements to
supply our farmers, and will have the
seed for Bale at this office.
“It is Easier to Blame than to do
Better."—We will not preach a discourse
on this subject the present week. But we
propose a few words for the thoughtful
consideration of those who are prone to
hunt for the specks ia their neighbors
lives, to excuse their own mishaps. In ev
ery business there Is rivalry—rivalry be
gets jealousy, and jealousy, as Burns has
it, “hardens 'a within.” It Is something
peculiar to men, that, in their long lives,
they see only the blemishes of their neigh
bors, and if perchance they hear of any
good thing to a neighbor’s credit, they are
very apt to hide it from public view—to set
down on It—so to speak. Now, will it hurt
a man to speak well of his neighbor? Will
It do him any good to speak ill of him?
Come, let us reason together. Speak no
ill, but rather praise, for the good God,
who made us all, loveth ua all, keepeth us
all, and fbqflreth us all.
ORANGE BLOSSOMS.
On Tuesday last at 2 p. m. Mrs. Mary V.
Stewart, eldest daughter of the late Dr.
Sam. G. White, was married in this city to
Mr. Baker Stewart, of Stewart county, by
Rev. H. H. Parks. The affair was kept so
quiet that even near relatives knew noth
ing of the matter until it was over. Mr.
Stewart is a most excellent young man, and
the State, if picked over, could not afford a
more lovable woman than his good wife.
We wish them as much joy as the world
can give, and a long life with prosperity.
The}' left on the evening’s train for their
home in Stewart County.
A HANDSOME DONATION.
The Masons of Temple Chapter No. 6, of
this city, have donated $250,00 to buy fur
niture for the Middle Georgia Military .and
Agricultural College. All honor to tho lib
erality and public spirit of tho members
of the Chapter. With such an example set
before our people, they should honor them
selves and the cause by imitating it; and
we shall be greatly mistaken if they are
slow to do so.
“SHOWS TASTE AND PAINS.”
We would bo less than human If such
praise as the following, from the Chronicle
Constitutionalist, did not make us feel
good, and inspire us with a new courage
and industry to do better:
“We now rise to remark that the Mil-
ledgevillo Union and Recorder is one of the
best edited and most dignified papers in
Georgia. Its make-up, editorially and me
chanically, shows taste and pains.
“EF YOU ARE A CCMMIN COME ALONG.’’
These are tho words we heard impres
sively used bya colored woman to a color
ed man last Saturday. The man had a
quart flask of whiskey under his vest, and
was trying to show a brother'what was in
it—and then the woman spoke—“Ef you
are a cummin, cum along.” . If the people
of Milledgeville want to see their town
grow and prosper, let them build a Public
Hall. If you are a coming, come along.
A RARE BUILDING.
The perfection of workmanship in tlie
Masonic Hall of this city iD its exterior, has
been often observed, admired and written
about. Though erected between forty and
fifty years ago there is not in this State a
brick building that can compare with it in
all tlie essentials of first-class masonry.
But what is remarkable about its interior,
is tlie durability of its plastering. In the
composition room of this office,.located on
the first floor of the Hall, the plastering is
to-day as firm, and unbroken as a piece of
polished marble just out of the hands of
the statuary; and the walls of this room
have for years been subjected to a severe
jolting by the movements of a largo power
press. Take the building all in all, its like
cannot be produced in any city in this
State. Tho Masons aro very proud of it,
as they should be -and if it were possible,
tlie Hail would be very proud of its owners,
for a more liberal and benevolent lodge than
the one that owns the building does not
flourish anywhere.
TO BUSINESS MEN AND CAPITALISTS.
Business men and capitalists in search of
good investment, and a locality alto
gether unexceptionable, will find no better
opportunity or situation than the falls in
the Oconeo river just adjoining the city,
and opposite Treanor’s Flouring Mills. We
have hoard many good judges repeatedly
speak in the most enthusiastic terms of
tlie groat natural advantages afforded by
this locality for the purposes of manufac
tures. It is very strange that it has been
so long overlooked. Four distinct arms of
the river debouch at this point and leap the
bed of rocks, from shore to shore, like a
thing of life. The fall of the water is all
that any engineer could desire, and the sup
ply at all times abundant. Tho South will
at no distant day surely manufacture eve
ry pound of cotton her planters produce,
and mills will dot tlie country as plenti
fully as do churches our South-land now.
We invite business men and capitalists
from abroad, especially from the New Eng
land States—men who have long experience
as well as abundant means—to visit Mil-
ledgevllle, and examine the splendid water
power in the Oconee river, both at the Fur
man falls, three miles above the city, and
those just opposite Treanor’s mills. All we
ask is an examination in person, by parties
interested, and we have not a doubt that
they will see the great advantages here
afforded by nature, and proceed to utilize
them. We havo no personal * interest in
this matter, beyond the improvement of
our city, and the development of the long
neglected resources of our State.
We would be glad if our excellent contem
porary, the New Haven Register, would
reproduce the above facts in its columns,
and other of our Northern exchanges be
equally generous, and obliging.

Shakespeare says:
“There is a divinity that shapes our ends.
Rough hew them how we may.”
We never felt how true this was, until
last Monday morning. A negro came to
our house very early—’twascold, you know
—indeed, double covering had been put in
all the beds, the night before. Says he, to
us shivering under bare poles—“aint you
seen nothing of a mouse-colored mule go
long hero las nightordis morninsoon?” “Ef
you has, please send word to Mr. John
for he ic in powulful trouble bout de mule.”
Where uo you live? says we. I 11 v wid

“Boss,” he said, “yu is a newspaper man
and if de newspaper man aint de best place
to go for information bout onuy thing you
lost, den how da g wine to found ’em?” We
accepted de situation; satisfied with the
compliment. But oh, it was so cold! The
compliment was taken on ice. The Divin
ity that shaped our ends, In this case, is a
bad sample, and we humbly plead to be ex
empt from the notoriety as above said.
Died, in this cits', Sunday night, 25th,

We learn there are over 200 scholars in
attendance upon the Eddy School icolored
in this city. Mr. O. L. Chatters is principal

L. Walker principal of the male departmen t.
The city council has given $500 to this

there is one fixture in the city that seems

The Annual Masquerade.
We did not think our young men and wo
men would let the annual Masquerade Ball
go by default. So we said lu former issues
of this paper, and we are gratified we have
not miscalculated their willingness and
energy to perpetuate this delightful festi
val. The Old Capitol has been heretofore
the favorite resort, but the dignified old
structure has assumed graver airs, and all
the happiness erstwhile enjoyed on such
occasions must be counted with “the water
that has passed.’’ But her mote modest
companion, the Executive Mansion, now
the home of a private family, has been gen
erously tendered for the occasion; still
throws her portals wide for the amusement
and pleasure of our people. The arrange
ments are all perfect, and cards of invita
tion issued. The Ball will be a delightful
close of the amusement season, as Lent
soon follows. It will not bo the first Mas
querade ball that has been held at the
Mansion. We remember one, several years
ago, which came off beneath its roof that
has never been eclipsod by any of its sue
eessors.
Now, gentlemen, let everything be well
done—let the good old building, whose
spacious halls have trembled to the music
and laughter of other days, when tlie la
mented Gov. Towns led the closing reel
be not ashamed of the boysand girls of the
present time—boys and girls did we say?

Firm Change.—By reference to an ad
vertisement in this paper, it will be seen
that Mr. C. G. Wilson has retired from the
firm of Wilson and Barnes, and is succeed
ed by Mr. W. H. II. Barnes, and that tlie
new firm will continue tho Grocery busi
ness at tho old stand. This is a strong
team—it is a hard working team, and one
that will pidl through successfully if their
efforts to please are appreciated by the pub
lic. These gentlemen are very popular.
They are earnest workers, liberal, obliging
and fair dealing business men, and wo wish
them abundant success. See their adver
tisement.
It is really a pleasant thing to hear our
city people and strangers speak so well of
tho “Oconee House.” It is in such good
hands, and so well managed, that there is
no room for com plaint. A pleasanter place
to sojourn, for those who are away from
home, and those who have no home, we
know not in all the land.
WORTH KNOWING.
Did you ever know any Treanor to suffer
with indigestion? Or if you should havo a
friend, or hear of any one in the distance so
effected, recommend them by all moans to
use water ground meal, as it is a sure pre
ventive.
It is just as natural for everybody to ask
their grocers for water ground meal, as it
is for water to run down stream.
We were astonished to see the amount of
business done at the wholesale and swap
ping depot of Treanor’s Mills opposite ttiis
office on Saturday last, something over
three hundred bushels loft their depot oil
that day, besides two hundred from their
mill; making a total of five hundred bush
els in one day. So much for water ground
meal. Every body uses it, oven their sis
ters, their cousins and their aunts on board
of her Majesty’s ship. ^
Farmers will find no delay in having
their corn exchanged at Treanor's Mills, as
the capacity of the mills are now from four
fifty to five hundred bushels per day. Al
ways a full supply of meal on hand In case
of high water.
The Grits now turned out from Treanor’s
Mills are equal to the Pearl Grits, and
much cheaper. Ask your grocer for them.
Farmers in having their corn ground at
Treanor’s Mills can havo a portion, or all
bolted and part of same made Into grits.
Mr. Foutz:
I am Veterinary Surgeon of John Robin
son’s celebrated Circus and Menagerie and
have charge of 250 horses, besides the ani
mals comprising the menagerie. I have
used a great many medical preparations,
but found none so effectual in the preven
tion and cure of diseases as Foutz’s Cele
brated Horse and Cattle Powders for the
caged animals as well as the horses. I use
no other. *-
