Recent investigations by the authorities of several States have at trncted attention to proprietary medicines, and there isa marked dispo sition to draw a sharp line ol distinction between mysterious nostrums and worthy articles of scientific compound and known character. “Many proprietary medicines,” says a leading fi&X physician, “ are the best possible prescriptions for the Jy diseases which they are made to cure. It is certainly fcpjgV q only reasonable to expect that chemists —if) world-w ide reputation and unlimited re- I sources ought to make compounds with excep- / tional skill, and it is manifestly to their in- j terest # to have their ingredients fresh and J^nßSsSrwrM' 1 I pure. Take, for example, Lippman’s great ■ ,1 remedy, popularly known as P. P. P. Jh/Sdfe**, rfSHtssY’ | The formula is on every bottle. Every -I|ipsia f - physician knows that the ingredients are the best possible remedies for purify- I Ing the blood, and the compound Is I a scientific one, which Increases the xM&jjj I efficiency of the whole. I some- /Sd 1 times prescribe special mixtures /imf \ l -for Blood Poisoning, Scrofulous / mjmjk 11 Affections, Catarrh, Eczema and other Vs*» complaints arising from impure and weak ' U—. blood, but I always feel safest is - * prescribing P. P. P., especially where lam not personally acquainted with the druggist. In prescribing P. P. P. (Lippman’s Great Remedy), I know I am taking no chances.” When doctors feel such confidence in a standard remedy, it is no wonder that the general public insist upon having it. -5 P. P. P. is sold by all druggists. $1 a bottle; six bottles, $5. I.IPPriAN BROTHERS, L E E Kk. Savannah, Ga. Central of Georgia Railway Company muEORGIA.

CLISBY Sc McKAY WILL DEMAND A CLEAN SWEEP, Os Presidential and Fourth Class Offices Held by Democrats. WANT ALL THE SPOILS. The Bosses are Now in Washington and They Will Not Leave Until They Make Their Point. Mr. Walter Corbett ha‘- gone to Wash- | ington, not, as has been given out. for the j purpose of pushing his candidacy for tbe Macon .poatoffice, for his frineds, the or ganized Republicans, saj than air. Corbett is safe for that position, but he has gone to stir up a fuss ovt r other posioffices. Mr. Corbett has not gone alone. He is suported in his campaign for spoils for other piople by the bone and brawn and sinew of the Republican party In Georgia - •that is to say he has gone with the bosses and he goes right into the camp to secure several orders of execution. If he is suc cessful, several heads will fall into the basket and several new jobs will be made It seems that in the cases of a number of presidential and fourth-class postoffiees in this section, Democrats have held the positions through Democra'tie or Republi can administrations. So far no objection has been made or if it has 'the fuss has not been backed up by any great force. But it seems now that the bosses are determined that the good things shall all come the way of the Republicans and that the plums shall no longer feed the Dem ocrats. In the ease of Forsyth, for instance, an onslaught is 'to be made on the present occupant of the office. It is claimed that the ]>os'toffice of Forsyth has been held by a Democrat through more tha none Re by a Democrat, though more than one Re publicans who have been barred by the civil service laws look to the leader* of the organized Republican party in this state to help them to these spoils, which are not protected by the civil service and which should fall to their lot. The leaders who are now in Washington —Johnson, Corbett, Pledger, Rucker and others, are. determined, and they will de mand a clean sweep. Then the collector ships at Savannah and ißrunswick will oc cupy their attention. The claim has been made that Mr. Cor bett is to be satisfied with the collector ship in Atlanta, and that, he will take that to leave the field open to Mr. Harry Ed wards of the Lilly White wing, of the Re publican party. If this he true, -the lilly whites have won a distanbt victory under Major Hanson, and Edwards will get the job, but Corbett and his frineds say that this is all rot. They say that Eld wards cannot get the Maco» office and that Corbett will not yield a peg to give Edwards the place, not even if he gets something equally as good. They claim that it is a matter of principle and that the lilly whites are not entitled to the jobs. OASTOriXA..

An aged Union veteran by the name of Wilson, died at 4 o’clock this morning at his home on Western Heights, South Ma con. He was a carpenter by trade, a mem ber of the Grand Army of the Republic j and drew a pension from the government of $24 per month, so we have been in formed. He leaves a wife and three children, who have the sympathies of the entire community in their sad bereavement. A large number of people viewed the huge “gater” skin yesterday which is on exhibition at Jim Johnson's store in South Macon. Quite a number of South Maconites went to the Academy of Music last night aifd listened attentively to the interesting and able speech of Hon. Eugene V. Debs.

There is a constant increase in The util ization of the products of nature for the manufacture of gloves. The skin of the kid. dog. rat and even the lizard are sta ple for this purpose, and now a use has been discovered for the soft but service able skin of the frog. Like alLnovekics, frog skin gloves are at present extremely expensive. They are especially recommended on account of the fineness and toughnes of the skin, to the cyclists. The demand for the frogs until now has been solely for their use as dainties for the table, but no doubt before long we shall have frob farms springing up all over the country in order to carry on a trade in skins with glove manufacturers.

What is Going On in Society. v The most unpleasant relic* of Christmas are the fiendishairguns that now infest the streets in ail the I*4.sure hours of Macon’s “small boy.” To outsiders it is inexpli cable how a rational parent would consent for a boy of 7 or 8 years to Dossees as dangerous a play thing as an air gun has been conclusively proven to be. Every now and then we hear of some terrible pathetic accident that is Lhe result of tra rtntal weakness aud childish carelessness in the abuse of air guns. Very harmless sounding the weapon is—a very case of a “milder mannered man never cut a throat,” but all the more dangerous fer ms appareut simplicity. You know that there is povder and ball in a pistol and are cautious, but in the other there seems to be nothing but air, and they are used by infants with absolutely no discretion. Accordingly they are even more dangerous than the pistols, and yet a little boy hard ly considers that he has had a prosperous Christmas unless he is possessed of an air gun. It is safe to say that he is “possess ed” if he has one of the diabolical contri vances. * * • The following invitations are being is sued to a number of young gills: Mrs. Walter Lamar at home January the Twelfth, Four -to Six.

I now have an excellent appetite, and my friends say they never saw me looking better or in better spirits since they knew me. „I tell them it is all due to Dr. Pierce’s ‘ Discovery;’ and I am so thankful and grateful that I never tire of praising his medi cine every opportunity I get.
