BREWER’S LUNG RE
STORER!
For Consription and Bronchitis.
Since we began the manufacture of the
above medicine, testimonials from ali quar
ters have been sent to us, even from the
far North and West where it has never been
advertised, The success it has met with
here at home is, if anything, beyond our
most sanguine expectations, and wherever
it has been tried we receive voluntary tes-
timonials from the persons who used it
all speaking in glowing terms of it and
thanking us for manufacturing so excellent
a remedy.
Brewer’s Lung Restorer is our hobby;
we talk it, we dream about it, we manufac
ture it from the best materials to be had,
we employ a scientific man to make it,
who tests every article that goes into it.
We recommeud it to all who suffer with
anv throat or Jung disease, indigestion
and dyspepsia, because we are sat
isfied it is the best thing in the world
for such diseases. We stake our rep
utation on it, we put our money in it to
make it widely known, and last, but not
least, we take it ourselves, and it does us
good as it will all who will use it accord
ing to the directions. Brewer’s Lung Re
storer has taken the lead of all other cough
medicines, and it is well that it does.
There is not a grain of morphine or opium
in it, but is entirely vegetable. Bo sure
to see that our name is on the wrap

Very respectfully,
Lamar, Rankin & Lamar,
Farish Furman is dead !
In the vigor of manhood, when, with ma- i
tured judgment, he had entered upon a 1
career of great usefulness in the develop- 1
ment of the agricultural resources of the I
country, and when the enjoyment of the
renown and distinction, so pleasing to his
ambition, spread out pleasantly before I
him, he is called at the early age of thir
ty-eight, from the busy scenes of an active
aud enthusiastic life, to a bed of sickness,
pain and death. How inexpressibly sad,
this seems to his host of friends who had
never associated his buoyant, energetic,
aggressive life, with the grave; but, shar
ing his enthusiasm, looked forward to long
years of earnest work, erowned with the
blessings and benefactions of his country
men. He was a man of strong convictions
and lived for a purpose, and the world is
better, we doubt no*, because he lived in it.
His mission is accomplished! His pro
gressive ideas and good intentions are not
all lost. They will bear fruit in the hands
of others.
From the best sources at our command
we give tiie following brief sketch of his
life;
Farish Carter Furman was born in
1846, at Scottsboro’, Baldwin county, Ga.,
and died September 14th, 1833, at the old
homestead and in the room where lie was
born. He was the son of Dr. John H. Fur
man of South Carolina, and tire grand-son
of the celebrated Dr. Richard Furman, a
Baptist divine, after whom Furman Uni
versity, in Greenville, S. C., is named.
His mother was the daughter of Col. Far
ish Carter, a prominent citizen of this
State, and after whom Cartersville, Ga.,
was named. She was also the niece of that
distinguished and honored son of Georgia,
Gov. Charles J. McDonald.
Judge Furman was edueafed at Ogle
thorpe University, the Citadel at Charles
ton, and finished his education by gradua
ting at the South Carolina University in
18G3. He commenced the study of the law
soon arter lie left college, and in 1870 was
admitted to the bar in Macon, Ga., having
studied law in the office of Xisbet A Jack-
son. In December, 1870, he formed a co
partnership with Judge D. B. Sanford and
began the practice of the law in this city.
The partnership thus begun continued till
the death of Judge Furman.
Mr. Furman was too young to be an ac
tive participant in the iirst years of the
war; but his dauntless spirit and brave
young heart carried him, young as he was,
into the strife, and the last year of the war
he was a gallant private in Elliott’s South
Carolina brigade.
He married the eldest daughter of Dr.
Joseph LeConte, now of the University of
California, a lady widely known and great
ly beloved for her abounding eiiristian
charity, who, with two children, both
daughters, survive him.
In politics he was always a democrat. He
was elected Senator for the 20th District,
in 1376, for four years, but his Senatorial
term was cut short by the calling of a con
stitutional convention—a measure he sup
ported with all the ardor of his nature,
hoping that the convention would restore
the capital to Milledgeville.
He was elected to the Constitutional Con
vention in 1877, and made a useful member.
During the capital campaign which fol
lowed—the location of the capital having
been left to a vote of the people—he took
an active part, making speeches in many
counties in favor of returning the seat of
government to the ‘‘halls of our fathers.”
He was a good speaker, but not always a
discreet politician. IIo was a man of sleep
less and untiring energy—a linn friend and
an earnest worker.
For the past five or six years, while con
tinuing the practice of the law, he devoted
most of iris time to farming, bringing to
that occupation a determination to succeed
and a practical and scientific knowledge
rarely found among the cultivators of the
soil. He took sixty acres of land that pro
duced eight bales of cotton the first year
he cultivated it, and by intensive farming
and the application of a compost that he
called a perfect cotton food, he raised the
yield steadily until it reached eighty bales
from the sixty acres. He expected to make
from the same ground this year 100 bales,
and much interest has been manifested in

ARRANGED BY J. H. N.
If I bad thought thou eould’st have died,
I might not weep for thee;
But I forgot, when by thy side.
That thou eould’st mortal be;
It never through my mind had past.
The time would e’er be o’er,
And I on thee should look my last,
And thou should’st smile no more.
And still upon that faee I look,
And think ’twill smile again.
And still the thought I wiil not brook,
That I must look in vain.
But when I speak, thou dost not say.
What thou hast left unsaid.
And now I feel, as well I may.
Dear Parish! thou art dead.
I? thou would’st stay p’t n as thou art.
All cold, and all serene.
I still might press thy silent heart
And where thy smiles have been!
Ido not think where’er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
And I perhaps may sooth this heart,
Iu thinking too of thee.
Yet there was round thee such a dawn
I’ve seldom seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn.
And never can restore.
DEATH OF HON. F. C. FURMAN.
Atlanta Journal.
The many friends of this distinguished
young Georgian in this city, and through
out the State, will receive the announce
ment or itis deallt with deep sorrow. It
was generally known that lie has been
prostrated with fever for a few weeks past,
but it was hoped that ho would recover up
to yesterday.
The death of this promising young man,
is peculiarly felt by a people w hose eyes
had so suddenly been turned upon him by
his successful farming enterprises, and
his probable solution of the problem that
is puzzling our people. Tlie remarkable
feature in his life was tlie abandonment of
a lucrative law practice and a most prom
ising field of political preferment to devote
his talent ami energy to tho practical dem
onstration Georgia’s resources in tlie ag
ricultural line. His name was already fa
miliar all over the South, and he was doing
much to encourage the tillers of the soil,
and bring that noble calling to a proper
estimation in the minds of the Southern
people.
The death of Mr.Furman is a public ca
lamity, and will be mourned all cfver the
State. But the shadow grows darker when
we think of the void created in his happy
home, at Scottsboro, where a devoted wife
and two bright little ones are left desolate.
He was a tender, thoughtful husband and
father, a true-hearted, warm friend, a pa
triotic, public spirited citizen. Well may
Georgia mourn when death claims such of
her sons as Farish C. Furman.
MR. CARLISLE.
An Arkansas paper objects to Mr. Car
lisle, first, because he has periodical at
tacks of dipsomania. This we believe, is a
slander, second, because lie is tho author
of an infamous whiskey bill which if it
becomes a law, will take $70,000,000 of rev
enue from the government, as a tax on
whiskey. This bill does credit to his head
and heart.
The government receives 85 millions of
dollars by the tax on whiskey and other
stimulants. To raise tlie $85,000,000 by
the tax, causes tlie people to pay $700,000,-
000 more for their liquor than they would
have to pay for them if the tax did not
exist. Mr. Carlisle’s bill if it should become
a law would reduce this tax upon the peo
ple from 700 millions to a small fraction
over 41 millions. Can that be called an
infamous bill? Is it an infamous bill to
propose to relieve the people every year of
$659,000,000? If there was anything infa
mous about this whiskey tax, it was to
tax liquors so high as to make the people
pay such an immenso sum for them. To
say the least about it, it was a cold blooded,
heartless measure to tax them so exces
sively. We say the people ought to com
mend Mr. Carlisle for his bill and wiil owe
him a lasting debt of obligation if he can
succeed in relieving them of such au op
pressive taxation. Third, he is opposed to
the improvement of tlie Mississippi river.
It is singula 1 " that tho Arkansas paper
should have made such a declaration. Mr.
Carlisle favors every reasonable proposi
tion for the improvement of tho Mississip
pi river.
We find this statement about Mr. Car
lisle in tiie Chronicle. Tiie name of the
paper is not given, but we have deemed it
proper to defend Mr. Carlisle against these
attacks. He is one ot the most able, use
ful and inilueutial members of tiie Demo
cratic party and is competent to fill every
office in the gift of the American people.
He is not only distinguished for his emi
nent statesmanship but for his devotion to
the rights and interests of the people. He
was the only Democrat placed by the Re
publican speaker of the House, on the
tariff conference committee. He exerted
himself in vain to secure even a pittance of
relief for the people while Mr. Samuel J.
Randall with 10 or 12 other Democrats were
doing everything in their power to sustain
the miserable tariff concoction which af
forded no relief to the people. Honce these
assaults upon Mr. Carlisle.

representative Dr. Mark Johnston, as fol
lows : A bill to require owners of hotels
to put up fire escapes; and a bill requiring
oleomargarine to be labeled as such. There

The Chronicle of the 8th says:
“If the fanners were united fortheir own
and common good they would send to the
Legislature men who believed in taxing
dogs and passing a general stock law.”
We agree with the Chronicle in that, and
we believe, besides, if the farmers were
united for their own and common good,
they would oppose a protective tariff
which taxes them and the whole people in
common more than one thousand millions
of dollars every year, nearly tiie whole
bulk of which is borne by them. If the
farmers don’t know it, it is because they
won’t investigate the matter aud take it
for granted that the Republican protec
tionists and their allies among tlie Demo
crats who favor protection, are right when
they say tho protective policy is a blessing
to the country. Tho same paper says:
“The people of Birmingham, Ala,, are pto-
tectionists to a man. They know that
protection has made their city and will
maintain its prosperity. They also know
that free-trade would extinguish their in
dustries.”
Well.there are eight or ten thousand peo
ple in Birmingham and they say they can
make iron at $10 a ton and make a good
profit by it. The manufacturers of iron at
the North insist that they must have from
15 to 18 dollars a ton to enable them to
make a profit. The protective tariff that
enables them to get 15 to 17 dollars a ton,
enables the Birmingham manufacturers to
get the same price. Ate they bought over
by the protectionists? Has anybody in
Birmingham told the farmers in the neigh
borhood and throughout Alabama that
they (the farmers,! have to pay out of their
pockets every cent of this bounty to the
iron manufacturers. We presume that at
least ono paper is published in Birming
ham. We never saw a paper that is pub
lished there. If thero is one we should
like to know what it it telling the people
about it.

Tho editor has a cow that makes him a

Judge Branham holds court for Judge
Lawson next week.
Judge Lawson and Solicitor General
Whitfield grow in popularity at each term
of our circuit court. They are the right
men in the right place, and the people of
Morgan desire no more efficient and im
partial court officers than they. Long may
they live to adorn ttie positions that each
so ably and honorably till.—The Madisoni
an.
Messrs. Stokely, Mathis, and Collins in
company with others came over from Put
nam last week, canvassing tlie subject of
‘fence’ or ‘no fence.’ On the 18th the people
are to vote upon this matter in their coun
ty, and the object of the canvass was to
ascertain how our citizens like the opera
tion of the stock law. Both sides of the
question were represented in the delega
tion. They began the canvass after cross
ing the Oconee taking the names irrespec
tive of color of citizens as they travelled.
By the time Eatonton was reached and af
ter taking the names of a few of our peo
ple here they had secured over 100, out of
which only five or six were for ‘fence.’
They became so thoroughly satisfied with
the no fence law that they returned deter
mined to persuade their fellow country
men, if possible, on the 18th to carry Og
lethorpe for‘no fence.’ Besides this con
clusion they expressed themselves more
than pleased with Putnam’s luxuriant
grasses, line crops along the Oconee, and
the relined intelligent citizenship. One re
marked that if he were not so well fixed ‘at
lioine,’ he would seek one in Putnam which
would indeed be to him an asylum of plen
ty, peace and ease. Wo are giad they come
and we invito them to come again.
From tho Messenger.
It is almost October and our new depot

“A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.”

March 20th, 1881. S
No Family should be without Allcock’s
Porous Plasters; their healing powers are
wonderful and their efficacy far reaching
and lasting. For years past I have seen
and known them to cure and relievo tho
most obstinate and distressing cases of
rheumatism, kidney complaint, bronchitis,
neuralgia, lumbago, inflammation of the
lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spi
nal weakness and coughs and colds. In
my own case they have afforded me almost
instant aud permanent relief. My friends
consider them an invaluable and speedy
remedy for all kinds of aches and pains.
They are a blessing in disguise; and no
wife or mother should be without them if
she values her peace and comfort and free
dom from nervous exhaustion, aud other
ailments. As a strengthening plaster, al
so for backaches and weaknesses, they
have no equal. I have never yet found a.
plaster so efficacious and stimulating, ot
to give so much general satisfaction. Us
ed in conneo-tion with Brandreth’s univer
sal life-giving and life-healing Pills, no ono
need despair of a speedy restoration to
good sound health.
MRS. E. TOMKINS.
ONE TRIAL.
If you have been using other Plasters
one trial of Allcock’s Porus will convince
you of their wonderful superiority. Take
no other so-cailed tporous plasters tiiat
claim to be better, they are all irauds got
ten up to sell on the world-wide reputation
of the genuine article.
