It is a strange coincidence—one that
would not occur again in a thousand
years: Miss Rockwell died on the 4th of
August, and her father and her two broth

tame day of the month.
Keep your horses and mules out of the
street (except in harness) or suffer the
penalty. Some people turn their stock
out every Sunday to poach on a neigh
bor’s crop. Now, you can’t do it, unless
you lose a mule, in this town.
There is no pleasanter feeling that

independence, not defiant, but in

Col. Hunter Is an old hand at the bel

ings of those days may be revived, and be
ever green.
Our neighbor, of the Chronicle In its is

As announced last week we have turned

of Baldwin proud of the “Chronicle.”

THE PASTOK
Of the Presbyterian Church in this city,
Rev. D. McQueen, contrary to the advice
of Paul tho great preacher, did take unto
himself a wife, last Thursday night. In the
person of Miss Mattie, an adopted daugh
ter of Mr. T. T. Windsor of this city. The
Presbyterian Church, where the coremony
took place, was filled with friends or the
bride and groom. Rev. Geo. T. Geotchius,
of Augusta, united the two in bonds that
death alone can sever, speaking as to
things earthly. He was brief, and that is
to say beautiful on a Summer-night. The
happy couple left on the Augusta train at
9:15 p. m. and will pass their honey-moon
in the cool places about the mountains of
western North Carolina.
V e extend our heart-felt compliments,
and “sling a slipper” after them.
Death of Miss S. A. Rockwell.
The death of this well known lady occur
red on Monday evening4th, about 8o’clock,
under peculiarly sad circumstances. A
very severo storm of wind, rain, thunder
and lightning passed over the city at the
above hour. Miss Rockwell was ever eas
ily frightened by storms and usually re
sorted to some neighbor’s house to quiet
her excited nerves. During the height of
the storm, above referred to, and it was
furious, she started to Mrs. Orme’s, but
the rain, wind and lightning was so terrific
as to cause her to return to her own doors,
which she reached, but on entering fell,
and died from apoplexy occasioned by
fright.
Miss Rockwell was best known as a
school teacher, in which profession she
was eminently successful. Her discipline
was almost military in its rigid require
ments. Yet her scholars all loved her.
She was tho youngest of the children of
Sam’l S. Rockwell, an eminent lawyer, who
stood at the head of the Milledgeville bar
in the Thirties, and there were “giants in
those days.” She was a sister of the late
Col. Wm. S. Rockwell, of Savannah, and
of Rev. Chas. S. Rockwell, who was a dis
tinguished minister in Florida, at the time
of his death. This was one of the most
talented families we have ever known In
Georgia. Miss Rockwell was about 69
years of age. Her death removes the last
of a family that has adorned society and
illustrated - the higher walks of Life.
The funeral services took placd at the
residence of Miss R. on Tuesday afternoon,
and were conducted by Rev. D. McQueen.
The attendance would have been much
larger but for the fact that it was under
stood that the funeral would take place
on Wednesday morning.

ON THE STREET.
The city was one vast wilderness
of dullness last Wednesday, scarce
ly relieved by a lady on the side
walks. No news is said to be good
news, but no women on the street is
bad news—so we have heard the
young merchants say.
Fruit, of a kind, was abundant.
We encountered four or five wagon
loads of melons, but the sale was dull
in that line. Saw some poor peaches
and—well, that was about all.
The biggest crowd we saw in one
pile was when Dawson Smith tried
to get a rat out of his trap. Ho tried
to shake the rodant out for the ex
pectant terrier, but rodant wouldn’t
come out. Marshal McComb tried
his hand, and shook and shook, but
rat would not come out.
By this time the crowd collected
numbered thirty or forty grown peo
ple, all intent to see one small mouse
fall into the jaws of the little terrier.
If there had been a street fight and
shooting irons were making music,
you couldn’t have got a man to have
walked up and inquired the cause of
the fuss. Oh, no! But rats are one
thing, and revolvers another, of a
very different kind, and curiosity.
Up Hancock street, about the cor
ner of Hancock and Liberty, we
were attracted by the handsome im
provements progressing on the prem
ises of Dr. Mark Johnston and Mr.
Frank Hall. They will add greatly
to the appearance of that part of the
city, and be a public as well as pri
vate benefit.
Passing by Brake’s, we heard a
mighty noise within as if fifty ten-pin
alleys were in blast. We stepped in
to inquire about it. What’s all this?
we asked of the proprietor. Mr.
Brake replied—“I am taking up my
bowling alleys, and if you will “call
in later,” I will show you the pretti
est amusement room in middle Geor
gia. I have got the furniture and it
is of the best.”
Passing on, we met a man who tri
ed to lasso us with his long, skinny,
sunburnt arms and pour into our
feeble ears the story of a fishing ex
cursion, with a snake attachment
bigger than the primus, but we beg
ged off by telling him that we had
drawn a prize in some lottery and
was in the greatest hurrv to get to
where it was. This was about all we
saw on Wednesday.
Base Ball.—A juvenile nine from
this city went to Eatonton on Wed
nesday to play a similar nine of that
town a match game.
By the by, why do base-ball players
confine their games to the hot Sum
mer season? Probablythe “Hatchet”
cuts out a correct answer. Because,
there are more bats and flies in Sum
mer than in Winter. Yet*winter has
the most balls.
Mr. J. Albert Kirven, of Columbus, Ga.,
says: I have used Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir
as a specific for sick headaclie arising from
indigestion, and when taken in time it has
either prevented or lessened the trouble.
I cheerfully recommend it to all who are
troubled with Indigestion, as an excellent
remedy. 47 6m,

Messrs. Editors :
I am informed tiiat there is a report be-
i ing circulated that the authorities at the
Asylum have stooped all parties who are
going to vote for Dr. Tbos. H. Kenan, from
cutting wood for said Asylum, and as the
cutting of wood comes under my supervi-
I sion, 1 feel it my duty to correct said re
port in its infancy. Our reason for stop
ping the wood rutting is we have now
cut in woods 1290 or 1500 cords and are a-
Traid of losing it by fire. I denounce the
above report as nn infamous lie and am
responsible for the denunciation.
Very resi
Geo.
sspectfully,

Died at his residence in Hill county,
Texas, on the 28th of July last, Jesse S.
Thomas, of black jaundice. He was in his
69th year. He was born and reared In
Baldwin county—joined the Methodist
church, at Ebenezer, Hancock county,
about 1843 or 1844. Moved to Sumpter
county, Ga., where he resided until 1857,
at which time he removed to Texas. He
died, as he lived, a consistent Christian, an
honest man. Our loss is his eternal gain.
May the blessings of Heaven comfort and
console the bereaved family—having tho
knowledge that he was ready, and willing
to depart. Rest in peace my brother.

A Remarkable Cure!
IN WHICH
Physicians and Surgeons Decided to
Use the Knife.
My wife and daughter suffered for year* with
an affection of the throat, which was'gradually
but surely undermining their health, and was a
source of anxiety to all of us. Two of the beat
physicians of the city and also a surgeon were
called in, and after a careful examination they
decided that there was no chance of a cure un
less they would consent to undergo a surgical
operation. We were much opposed to the knife
being used, nutil all other means had been ex
hausted. So, we began to use different throat
remedies sold at drug stores. We-finally got to
Brewer's Lung Restorer, and the effects were
truly wonderful; anil after a few bottles had
been taken they were entirely relieved of the
trouble and their health fully restored. If any
of my family should ever be similarly affected.
1 would, If necessary, travel around the world
In order to get this remedy. Very respectfully,

Macon, Ga., August 15,1880.
With great pleasure 1 certify to the efficacy of
that truly excellent preparation—Brewer's
Lung Restorer. It has indeed proven to be a
sovereign remedy in my family. For' many
months my wife has suffered from weak lungs,
and lias experienced great difficulty in breathing,
so much so that she could not sleep at all at
night; she also lost her appetite, and, In fact,
her condition was truly alarming. The Lung
Restorer having been recommended by several
friends, I resolved to get it and test its virtues,
which I did, and with the most happy effect.
She has taken but two bottles, and the result is
wonderful. She now experiences no difficulty
in breathing, her appetite is good, and she is
rapidly regaining her strength, and 1 am con
vinced its continued use will effect a permanent
cure. 1 would, therefore, cheerfully recommend
it to all who have weak lungs, as it cannot fail
to be of great benefit to all who may give it a
trial. Yours trulv,
GEO. W. SIMS.
The aliove testimonial was given in 1880. Hear
what the same gentleman says after an interval
of four years:
“1 have hail no cause to change my opinion
relative to the efficacy of Brewer’s Lung Re
storer in cases ol diseased lungs. The benefit
derived by my wife from its use lias been per
manent. My faith in its virtues is such that I
cheerfully recommeed it to all who are afflicted
with pulmonary disease. Very respectfully,
GEO. W. SIMS.”

Saved His Life.
A Physician's Testimony.
I was called to sec Mr. John Pearson, who was
confined to his lied with what appeared to be
consumption of the worst form. As all of bis
family bad died with that dread disease ^except
ills half brother,! his death was regarded as cer
tain and soon. After exhausting all the reme
dies, I finally as a last resort sent for a bottle of
Brewer's Lung Restorer, and it acted like magic.
He continued the use of it for some time and lias
been fully restored to health. So far as I could
discover, he had comsumptiou, and Brewer's
Lung Restorer saved his life.

From Macon.
In August, ISSl, it was discovered that my
son’s wife was in tec last stages of consump
tion. She was coughing incessantly and at
times would discharge quantities of pns from
her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything on
her stomach, and we thought it only a question
of time when life would be compelled to give
way to the fell destroyer. After all other reme
dies had failed, we got Brewer's Lnng Restorer
and began it in very small doses, as she was very
weak. She soon began to improve ; continued
the remedy and was testoreu to life and health,
and Is to day better than she has ever been be
fore. I regard her restoration as nearly a mira
cle. for which she is indebted to Brewer’s Lung
Restorer. R. W. BONNER, Macon, Ga.
Brewer’s Lung Restorer is a purely vegetable
preparation, coutaius no opium, morphine, bro
mide or any poisonous substance. Send for cir-
circular of long list ot wonderful cures.

The past week, with its lowering clouds and continued rains has

Mineral Water!
W. C. Obr, Secretary:
Dear Sir—Yours asking my experience
with Daniel Mineral Spring Water to hand,
I would state that It is two years since my
attention was first called to the medicinal
properties of the Daniel Mineral Spring
Water. Since then I have tested it in dis
eases of the stomach, kidneys, bladder,
constipated bowels, jaundice, eruptions of
the skin and nasal catarrh, with the most
satisfactory results. In eases where the
general health is depleted, sallow complex
ion, highly colored urine, pain in back,
dull heavy headache, and loss of appetite,
the benefits derived from this water are
remarkable. I have used both Tate, Ep
som and Buffalo Lithia waters in my prac
tice, but never derived as good results
from either as from Daniel Mineral Spring
Water. I have a jug of this water that has
been In my office 18 months and is now
perfectly pure and sweet. Yours truly,

My child was a sufferer from chronic
diarrhoea and urinary disorders, would
frequently go many hours without any ac
tion of the kidneys. I used a great deal of
medicine without relieving her. Finally I
was advised to try Daniel Mineral Spring
Water. I did so, and in eight hours after
the child commenced its use, the kidneys
acted freely, the child began to improve
and is now well.
