The Secretary of War has ordered
the Indians confined at St. Anguatiiie

It «|. talked in Washington a few

the city of Mexico, the Dhut Govern

Tlie appropriation hill ailowa only
ten thousand dollars for the improve

tion willingly accepts the amount, we
should .like an additional sum of
several thousand. It is thought that
the ten thou-and dollar* will bring
boats as far up as Newton, and we
congratulate our Baker friends.
Any person who served fourteen

The Georgia Press Convention
meets in Gainesville, May 8tb. We
hope there will be a large attendance.
Every paper in the State should be
represented. We see by the Eagle
that the good people of the mountain
city are making grand preparations
for entertaining the Association, and it
is probable that an exenrsion to Bicli-
mnud or Washington city will be in
order.
In the United States Circuit Conrt
in Lynchburg, Va., last week, Judge

Terrell County Pair.
The Quitman Reporter is herel.y
informed that we have not underta
ken to answer its article as to the
candidate for Congress in a u disvllo-
ry tray," or any other way. Not at
all. We only wrote: “Capt. H. J.
Turner, of Brooks, has been suggested
by the Reporter, and there is no doubt
but what he would receive a strong
support from that end of the Distrir
in the event that Capt. Smith, should
retire." And from that the Reporte,
“infers that in the event of Captain
Turner receiving the nomination, be
will not receive a like strong support
from the west end of the District,*’’
We were speaking of a nomination,
not election. Should Capt. Turner
lie chosen to bear the standard, he
will find no more earnest worker for
his election than the Albany -New*!
and we are quite sure the whole DH
irirt will unite solidly upon him,
Tlie Reporter should not endeavor to
awaken sectional animosity.
And now our friend Fleming, of
•lie Early County .Vettie makes some
unnecessary remarks relative to the
Albany News, because the Gran
Jury of Calhoun county recommend
ed our paper as the official journal of
tlie county. He says for instance:
“We are satisfied there is ne gener
al desire to take the offieial patronagJ
from our paper and give it to anotle
er—especially when the removal of
the ]>atronage would tend to weaken
a paper of which the people of that
county have a common interest witli
ours, and to build np one in whir
they can hare no special interest.”
The people of Calhonn have a spe
rial interest in the Albany N:*w
because it is published in their ow
judicial Circuit, because it is publish
ed in an adjoining county, and in the
city in which they do their marketing,
ft is tlie nearest “paper having tlie
largest (bona fide) circulation” and
therefore entitled legally to the offi
rial printing county of Calhoun.
That Grand Jury appreciated this
fact—hence the recommendation.
The Moffct Bell Punch which is to
register drink-, at Hie rate cl*,
a piece is bringing an immense reve
nue Into the Virginia State Treasury.
Massachusetts is about to adopt it;
and some of the large cities want to
collect taxes for tlie support of their
governments in that way. ft would
not much surprise us if the next
Georgia Legislature should take it up.
Russia says her tr<mps shall not
leave the suburb* of Coustantinople
until the English fleet vacates the sen
of Marmora; England says her fleet
■hall not leave the sea of Marmora
until the Russian troops vacate tlie
suburbs of Constantinople. They
therefore, says the Washington Star,
remain where they are indefinitely,
which is impossible, or withdraw
simultaneously, which is impraeti-
ble, or one must persuade tlie other
to leave, which means war.
Tom Thumb proposes to exhibit
himself at the Paris exhibition, but
being rich now will charge nothing
for being seen and will pay lor see

Our friends of Terrell are iu deep
and sober earnest about their. forth
coming Fair, on Saturday the -lib of
May. Preparations have been going
on some time for the event. From
the Journal we judge there is going
to be a happy, joyful time of it. ami
an entire success of the exhibition.—
Old Van Winkle wont have much of
a showing, for progress in all its ram
ifications’ and live, git-up and git
ways, will control tilings. Tlie live
stock display will be good, farm pro
ducts will be exhibited in great va
riety ; the ladies’ department will be
attractive and beautiful, and as a
whole, the Fair promises complete
success. A cordial and earnest invi
tation is extended to the people of
Dougherty and surrounding counties
to attend; and everything will be
done to enhance their pleasure. Car
ry along something for exhibi
tion ; take away the blue ribbon if
possible, enter cheerfully and willing
ly into a spirit of true rivalry, and
then insist upon all coming to the
Fair of the Southwest Georgia in
dustrial Association, on the 21st
22nd.
Among the prominent feature- bli
the enjoyment of the occasion will be
a grand Tournament, and Ball at
night, which will attract a good ar
ray of chivalry'and beauty. Splendid
prizes are offered in the Tournament,
and we would like to see some of our
Knights come in for a share of them

The Atlanta Constitution gives the
following as the origin of the term
“aGeorgia Cracker:”
In tlie revolutionary war Captain
James Jackson (afterwards govern
or) brought (Town to Savannah
company that had heen recruited
from.(he wilds of Emanuel and Screv
en counties. The men were armed
witlftheir old-fashioned squirrel-ri
fi<?V which, in comparison with the
improved gun# of the city companies,
gave a whip-like crack. Whenever
they were head in battle, it would lie
remarked, “there goes a Georg'
cracker.”
i^sTlie Constitution is in error, accord-
lag to our understanding. When
Oglethorpe's |ienp!c began to -call
into the interior of the State, it w
impossible for them to procure flour
and meal, ns there was no rapid modi
of transportation. They, therefore
grew their own corn, and mole,
the grains will, huge rocks, while
their friend* near Hie const were <-:i
ily supplied by tlie ship*. Ever sine
that day the salt air populace hav
taken a special' pleasure in curling
their lips and applying the epithet.—
They now sometimes, with a broken
down dignity, call on the Georgia
cracker for corli to crack.
While iu Fort Gaines we learned;
I’rotn good authority that Judge Kid-
loo would not, under any circum-
dances, he a candidate for re-election
o the Judgeship. This we consider
an adverse rilling to the wishes of tlie
jieople, and if there was any chance,
we think they would “carry it up.”—
But they have learned to respect id*
decisions without inncli question as
to tlieir corm-liicss, and we suppose
will quietly submit to this one, al
though it deprives them of a most ex
cellent mid upright Judge, iu this
onnertimi we will stato that we have
good authority for saying that Hon.
L. (’. Hoyle, of Dawson, will he a can
didate before the Legislature for tlie
position so well filled by Judge Kid-
duo.—Early County Xetrs.
Col. Hoyle's qualifications for the
high office of Judgeship are of the
best and most thorough kind. We
have known him long and favorably,
ami ran with pleasure give him a full,
square and complete recommenda
tion. We hope that lie will be elect
ed.
Judge Kiddoo lias made a good
.lodge, anil w hen wc say good, we
mean it in all of its expressive mean
ing.
The Hakinsvillc Dispatch, under
the head of-A Peregrinating Fraud,'
exposes the rasealily of one William
Porter, alias William Allen, who, it
allege.*, married a widow lady in
Florida, stole her properly and de
serted her. He then came to Georgia,
and began teaching school in Irwin
county. He is described as being a
man with light hair, rather thin, dark
beard and moustache, dark teeth,
spits often when talking, is well ed
ucated, is a good fiddler, smokes, has
large far hands, often shuts bis hands
and rubs his nose and mouth with his
knuckles, is aged about forty-five or
forty-six years. Tlie Dispatch wants
the Georgia press to “pass him
around.”
With bacon at five cents per pound
anil flour at six dollars a barrel, we
can afford to buy provisions, and
raise cotton at ten cents per pound.—
This is what the Atlanta Constitution
says. And so tlie people call, if they
only had money to buy witli, but
when they have to pay double prices
on time, profit on farming is knocked
in the head. Cush farmers make
money.—Monroe Adc.
We agree with tlie Advertiser, that
provisions, at rash prices, would ena
ble the planter to realize on cotton at
ten cents per pound. But with twen
tv-five to thirty per rent added, for
credit, the margin is against the cot
ton planter. Provisions are very
heap; and if planters will go on
making everything to eat they need,
the cotton they do make will pay
them well if they get hut seven cents
a pound for it.—Old Capital.
Tortures Unit Need not be Kn-
dured.
People suffer a great deal of pain
unnecessarily. Among tortures that
need mil be endured are those inflict
ed by tlie rheumatism and gout, siuee
tlie acrid clement in tlie blood which
produces them by contact with tlie
sensitive covering of the muscles and
Joints may be eliminated by the use of
that matchless depurent. Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters, before the inflam
matory symptoms are developed to
any great extent. When It is consid
ered what excruciating tortures rheu
matism inflicts, and what a tendency
Itfhas, when Billy developed, to at
tack the heart, the advisability of an
early use of such a reliable antidote
becomes at onoe apparent. Thu rheu
matic virus is expelled from the blood
by the increased action of the kid
nevs—which act as st rainers—produc
ed by the Bitten, and the sufferer will
find, if he uses this supremo defen
sive agent, that he will be protected
(ainst a return of tlie agonizing com-
lutnt. Dyspepsia, fever and ague,
iver aud bowel complaints and other
maladies, are also cured by this ad
mirable remedy.
A Remarkable Result.
It makes no difference how many
Physicians, or how much medicine
you have tried, it Is now an establish
ed fact that German Syrup is the only
remedy which has given complete
satisfaction in severe cases of Lung
Diseases. It is true there are vet
thousands of persons who are predis-
I wised to Throat and Lung Affections,
i Consumption, Hemorrhages, Asthma,
Severe Colds settled on the Breast,
Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, Ac.
who have no personal knowledge of
Boscliee’s German Syrup. To such
we would say that 50,000 dozen were
sold last year without one complaint.
Consumptives try just ono bottle.—
Regular size 75 ' cents. Sold by all
Druggists in America.

The farmers arc in higher hopes
this season of making abundant crops
this year than they have been before
in many a day. The weather has been
so favorable for preparing the soil for
corn and cotton, amt for the growing

at least three weeks ahead of the
work of average year*. Every one
determined to plant corn, sugar cane
and food crops enough to supply

see our country neighbors, and
pleasure t<> hear them express tlieir
hopes for the future—not the specu
lative hopes based upon the possibil
ity of high prices for cotton, nut the
well grounded hopes based upon
knowledge of the capacity of tlieir
oil, and a purpose to give it a fair
chance to produce what every man
must have—something to cat.

That “THE DEPOT” soil* Goods at cheap aa any house in the State.
Iu my announcement last fall I Informed the people of Dougherty aw
surrounding counties how the name “DEPOT* 1 came to be nsed In con
nection with my store. It ia no invention of my own, bnt many mi
who noticed the rapidity with which I handle Goods, often made the
predion, “They are moving Goods as fast aa if it were a depot;” and
expression was made from time to time, until my customers '
established tlie title. I then contended that heavy, rapid sale*, and (%
plenishing stock constantly would enable merchants twsell
Latest Styles at Levest Prices
To-day I demonstrate this truth by offering Good and Fast Colored
Calicoes at 5 Cts.
Bleaching one yard wide, at ? cents
Coats’ Spool Thread at 5 cents.
Shirting’ at 5 Cts.
And all oilier floods proportionately low.
Now lei us condense the old advertisement, and say something
hciicalli il:
Within the last week l have aold over 8,000 yards of Calico. Dreese*
have been made up. washed and ironed, and everybody says it ia aa gCKX
uybody*' Calico. 1 don’t claim that it is any better. 'Well-informed
people know that tlie same Brand* are the same Goods, as one Factory
iiinmil'iictiircs Inn one line; to endeavor to make people think differently
might lake well with tlie ignorant, hut would be an insult to the inform-
i* ii wuld lie necessary to calculate upon their ignorance to think they
would believe such stuff. I keep ail brands of Calico.
Often it has In-en said within tlie last week it has beeu said, “Why yoi
arc selling other Goods even cheaper in proportion than Calico, Thread
nr Bleaching.” This, believe me, is certainly so. But it is impossible tc
mention every article. I simply invite you to come and see. Kind and
obliging clerks will gladly wait on you, even should you not desire tc
purchase.
Tlie i rulli of my assertion that 1 have benetitted the community and
Ihcir pocket hooks will be better and better demonstrated to von as yo»
will more and more avail yourself of the facilities I offer.
Trusting I may enjoy the patronage of merchants and consumers alike
in I lie future as in I lie past.
I am. very respectfully.
