The founder of the family was a eitrious cluiraeler. who lived ou his domains somewhat like Kingsley at Fort George. Since his leal h the property has been under litigation among the heirs, and this ouihiiicd with the war, lias eomplel- 1 the ruin of the estate. A tine old house is the family mansion, standing a clearing near the water. The other half of Cumberland Isl and was deeded to General Nathaniel Greene by the Stale «pf Georgia. »» a reward for his distinguished *rH[ie<ts in aiding the liberation of the 'state from British dominion. Kill he died ■n after the grant, and it is doubt ful if he ever lived there. After his lentil Mrs. Greene appears to have Hied here. At any rate, sip: mar ried a wealthy English gentleman of the name of Miller, who seems to have appreciated the ownership of siidi a noble estate, for he built a stately mansion near the Southern end of the island, half a mile from the sea, and called it Dungencss, after i plan* lie had inherited' in the ohl oiiutry. The house was built" of onerete, or coi|iiiua,as the Spaniards ailed il. It is in quite common use in that-region, and is composed of lime, sand, and oyster shells. It hardens hy exposure, and is almost is durable ns brick. The house stood •u an artificial mound, was four sto ries high, and contained forty rooms. Tin: exterior was slm-cocd above the tirsl story, the fueadc was adorned with six stone pilasters rising to the I,and the entrance, faced with hewn granite, was approached by a flight of massive steps, wliieh are now one. The four towering ehimiieys uggesl the comfort and good cheer for u liirh Dllngciiess was celebrated lieu Mr. and Mrs. Miller there dis- pelised a liberal hospitality. Until within a few years the man sion preserved something of its form er elegance; hut during the war. when abandoned to the negroes, it was ,-et on tire, and the interior was completely burned. The rooflees walls, crumbling and overgrown with ivy, alone remain ,a. tm^stie ruin, the central object of a pictu resque scene of Wildwood and path etic solitude. The place is so full of sentiment, of old-world romance iumI beauty, that one can hardly' believe that what he is gazing one can be iu Georgia. Exotic palms, gray olive trees, magnolias and arencias anil oleanders and china trees interweave their foliage iu luxuriant nnd ne glected growth, and blend the fra grance of their massy clusters of flowers with the flowers which still thrive in the neglected garden, while the venerable oak woods close the place in and increase the almost oppressive seclusion of old Duiigc- ncss. lu the still air of mid-day the humming bird darts like a fairy iroui flower to flower, the uiiiruiur of in- inllnerahle bees and the drone of the locust hlciiil with the rustle of the tree-lops, and from hour to hour, from day to day, from year to year, the all-|H-rvasive moan of the sea steal' up from the shore like llte tread of llie innumerable army which is evermore marching to the grave Not far from the mansion, and reached hy a winding path through tile woods, is the family cemetery, wliieh includes several historic graves. 11 is dose to tin- sea, and is a very in teresting spot. It i« suflering from neglect, and llie gravestones will soon lie gone, or the inscriptions illegible, unless they receive more attention.— Mrs. Miller is buried there. She dieil iu I Si I. (.‘uriotisly enough, the epi taph hears no allusion In her marri age to Mr. Miller. Ity her side is Mrs. Shaw, the daughter of General Greene, with her husband Mr. Sluiw.

The in mates all complain of an insufficient sup ply of fuel -M'lfldttlin^ As these are very essential to' their health and com fort we earnestly recommend that tlicsc articles be at on :e supplied by the prop er authority. Wo cannot too earnestly urge upoiv itio Ordinary the absolute ne cessity of making immediate repairs on the buildings, as they contain large open cracka in the weather boarding anil roof. From the best information we can gath er, the Roads anil Bridges of the county are in 'got* 1* ofder. aml the bridges in extra good condition, with the exception of some of the bridges at Gliickasaw- liatchce Turnpike, which the Ordinary states he has been unable to have as thor oughly repaired aa should be without too great an expense, owing to the fart of the planters being.too busy to allow the use of hands and teams, but that timbers are now contracted Mr, and tlic said bridges will undergo thorough repairs at an ear ly day. We have examined the Public Build ings ; and find the Jail neatly kept, and the inmates well provided for. Then- arc now six prisoners confined ill Jail.— Two of them are front Worth county. The jail building is in good repair, with the exception of the need of a pair of steps at the front door nnd some missing panes of glass in the Jsilor’s room ; and also the side lights at the front door. We recommend that the Ordinary be instruct ed to have the same repaired at once.— We also find a number of broken and missing panes of glass in the Courthouse windows; and the cords broken. We recommend that the Ordinary be instruct ed to have these repaired also. The priv ies in the Courthouse yard are in bad condition, filthy and old. Wc call the Ordinary's attention to the fact; and urge that lie have them put in proper order ; that they In: kept tockeil, anil used only by officers of the cpua(y, and. p-Tsons in attendance upon Court.’ • - We have examined the Kooks and Ac counts of the different county officers. TJinsc of the Ordinary are kept iu a neat add ■ bbtiiidds-Hke j Banner. They are cdrrectifej far as-we tan see. The affairs r. ks*wfc can of the Coiflity. in the bands of the present incumbent, have been handled very ju diciously and economically, and the dif ferent metbnflt adopted by liiai, in con ducting tke affairs of 'the county, show gooil results.

In view of the limited number of Ju rors in our comity, we request our Ijrp- reseutatives to hale .the Jury law so amended, aa hr include upright and in-' telligent citizens above 60 years of age who are not disqualified' by extreme in firmity. Our county contains a good many citizens of the class above men tioned, whose usefulness and activity in other matters of life, commend them at onee as competent Jurors. We respectfully recommend that our Representatives use their influence at the meeting of the first General Assem bly of the State to linve a bill enacted tempting school teachers from Jury duty. , , , The present law, in regard to accouiits standing against the county, which de bars payment after one years standing scons to us unjust to the creditor and unsafe to the county. As a partial rem edy, we suggest that the_Ordinrry adver tise once every year, for all parties hold ing claims against Dougherty county to present them at his office that they may be audited. In closing these presentments we con gratulate our people upon the bountiful harvests with which they have been blessed this season, and the general growing prosperity of our section, and we do urge upon them the importance of continual industry and frugality iu pri vate and public matters.

S. SWEET) lx' THE SAVANNAH NEWS. A Mix NX, Oct. 16—Editor Morning Newt: On yesterday the tirsl fall fair of tlie Sonth west Georgia Indus trial Association was opened v ith considerable ciilhusiasiii. The iii.m- ngcmuul have been exceeding!) ac tive in making preparations for the event hy advertising liberally and the expenditure of much eliori.— They have made two serious mis takes, iu my opinion. The first iu continuing five days instead of three. The people cannot ullbril the expense of hotel bill' anil incidentals lor so long a time, ami the planters especial ly cannot leave home so long, for I liis is one of the busiest seasons of llie year. The other Is the premium of fered for farm products auil for im proved farming stock, which was too meagre. The consequence is, this department is not as well filled »s it ought to be, nor as it would have* bequif the premiums had been more liberal. As is always the case, the first day- taken up in gutting things in place, anil the people, knowing I liis fact, and remembering there are five days of the fair, comparatively a small crowd was in attendance on yester day. Most of the Visitors purchased season tickets. The floral display was very li .ic, being arranged in two large p> ra- rnids iu the centre of tlie first floor in tlie main building. The upper story of the main build ing is devoted to merchants' displays, fancy work and art gallery. Messrs. Mayer & Glauber make a magnifi cent display of dry goods ami car pets. Tlie Messrs, Welch have a splendid display of drugs, medicines ami fancy articles, from their celebrated drug store on Broad and Washington streets. Mys^rs. Welch & Mitchell, book sellers and jewelers, have out: of i In most tasteful displays in llie entire, building, consisting ot specimens of almost everything from a diamond ring to the latest song book. There was oue article from Coflee county. It was a lady's crotchet shawl. The wool was raised iu Coffee county and the young lady sheared il. and carded it, auil then' crotchcted it. 11 is of two colors, black and white, and while it is not quite so soft and glossy as the zephyr shawls, yet il is far more durable, ami shows that the glfls in the wiregrass are not devoid of taste or genius either. It would have done credit to a more cultivated region, so-calieil. The centre of attraction was the race track. Two races were ami.mur ed, and everybody.deserted the exhi bition hails and .made for the grand stand. It is strange what a w onder ful infatuation takes possession of ;i crowd in looking at horses run. Tin most dignified forget their where abouts and grow exceeding!\ uervour and interested as to the result After tlie races were over the pen ile, being satisfied, wended their war lack to tjiecity, and before sundown the grounds were deserted of every liviug being but those appointed to remain. Iu the Art Department l|ie exliibi tion is superior. Mr. A.T. Lyon, llie local photographist lias an elegaul display ill his line. There are several familiar faces among the specimens.— The “phiz” of llie author of Sam Sim do cannot be mistaken. Bishop ierces’s is very line. The next col lection is from the diligent and artis tic hand of Mrs, Spencer, an aged lady of rare culture and task:. Her transfer work is equal to any 1 lmv seen, even iu the larger cities. Her view in the Adirondaeks is one of th; finest specimens, and tlie finish and touch could only come from oue who is in love with nature's wildness. There are two or three specimen “There is one man who, by-fehrlng him au office, has not got the big*- head.” C'apt Smith la exceedingly popular with these wiregrass folks. SECOND HAT—INCREASE OV CBOWH— OTHER UISPLATS. A I.H A N r, October lTf^ftttfoKiKpni- ing Air ms: On yesterday afternoon a much larger crowd visited the' fair grounds. The interest taken lit the enterprise by tlie citizens generally is Infly commendable. In, prder to give their employes all opportunity to enjoy tlie festivities of the occasion the merchants all closed their doofa from ten o’clock until five, and the Imys enjoyed Uio frolic. I n the Fruit Department I noticed twenty well founedand well devel oped sweet oranges, grown In tlie yard of Mrs. Dr. Jennings, of Alba ny. Also about a bushel of the finest fall peaches that has ever bqen seqn iii this country. They were grown by Mr. T. C. Brown, of Marion cdnntv, and are called the Tildes peach. There are some four or five varieties. They attracted a great deal of |Uteu-: tion, as everybody was surprised to see such fine looking fruit In the mid dle of October. Mr. L. E. Welch and Jndge Vason have each a fine specimen of what is ' iriucd India clover, but is better known as beggarllce In this section, lint it differs m texture and tastefroni tlie common be; for ]minting on china by Mrs L. K. iVelcIl. Then the fine specimens of Nnutiless shells, with their Icathei' flowers all the way from Rio de Ja neiro, Brazil. The finest collection, consisting of twenty-two specimens of painting and crayon work, is from the artistic hand of Mrs Bacon, formerly M Crowe, of Wesleyan Female Colic; at Macon. Her pirtiu-es have taken premiums at every exhibit ion wlier they have been entered, and the pro ficiency of her pupils is known'all over Georgia. It would he useless to compliment her work, ftlic is one Georgia’s daughters that llie old com monwealth may well hi: proud of.

In order to guard against resalts utterly subversive of health, it tsi ab- olutely essential that the grand thor oughfare or avenueof the svstem, the bowels, should he re-opened as speed ily as possible when they become ob structed. If they arc not, the bile is misdirected into the blood; the liver becomes torpid ; viscid billious mat ter gets into tlie stomach, and pro duces indigestion; headaches ensue, id ytiper symptoms are produced, nidi a prolongation of the exciting cause only tends to aggravate. The aperient properties ot" Hostetler’s Stomach'Bitters constitute a most use ful agent in overcoming constriction of the bowels, and promoting a regu lar habit of body. It is infinitely su perior to the drastics cathartics fre quently used for the purpose, since it dues not, like them, act violently, but produces a natural, painless effect, which does not impair the tone pf the evacuatory organ.% which it in vigorates instead of weakening.
