Herty’s Soda Font is a favorite resort of Milledgeville beauty and its satellites. The delicious nuisance is too apt to make one oblivious of the scriptural con dition of living, “In the sweat of thy face,” &c. It is a Temperance drink, nevertheless, te-totally.

The The Mayor is on the look out for tres passers of this kiud, and the disgrace of such an arraignment may fall heavily on some one soon. . Better to keep away entirely, than to come for such purpose Daniel S. House died at the Asylum, last Wednesday, from a wound received ten days before, at the hand of a lunatic. The Good Templars of which order he was an officer, buried him on Thursday. t It is gratifying to know that that noble brotherhood, and also the Ladies Memo rial Association, have taken steps to re lieve the wants of Bro. House’s family. We think the State should do something^ to relieve the orphans of its servant, who • lost his life, not only in its service, but( because of its service. Under similar cir cumstances the law would compel any other corporative to respond to the loss. Their poverty is abject. Lectures for the Summer. We learn that arrangements are pro gressing to secure the delivery of free lectures, every fortnight, through the Summer, at the State House. This is as it should be. Nigger minstrels, dan cing mountebanks and travelling hum bugs can well be substituted by the more refined and intellectual entertain ment of the lecture room. A world of enjoyment lies i’o a little combined ef fort to elevate the public taste and cul tivate the fine social feelings, rather than those coarser, grosser, biutal appetites, ihat revel in debauchery and mean whisky. The ladies, of course, will lend encouragement to the measure. MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA.) April 19th. 1872. f Capt. John Jones, Foreman of the Merchants Sf Mechan ics Fire Company of Milledgeville.

House, aged about 35 years. The circumstances attending his det.th.are peculiarly sad. and manifest the singular dis pensations of Providence. The deceased was a gallant soldier in the late war, and after four years of service, during which ha escaped uu hurt, it was Ilia fate to fall by the hand of an unconfined maniac at the Asylum, where he was an employee. Mr. House was a noble man and a patiiet. When his country was in danger, he was among the first to rush to its defense and to offer all that he had -his labor and if neeessa ry h’s hf; . He was a good citizen, an affei- tiouate husband and father, and a true friend. His was a strongly marked character—mild in peace, and in war a hero. And it is not strange that the death of such a man should be so gen erally mourned. He belonged to that distin guished Regiment known as the First Geoigta Regulars, and his Captain, the late Lewis H. Kenan, often spoke of him as one of the best and bravest soldiers he had seen in battle A wife and four little children, have been de prived of their only support, and the State would be discharging but a just obligation, to make some provision for their maintenance, as the deceased lost his life in its service. A large concourse of his fellow citizens, with the order of Good Templars, {cf which he was a member) attended his funeral, and bestowed upon his remains the last tribute of respect. Tbe fair mothers and maidens of our land will soon cover the graves of the Confederate dead, with flowers, but they will decorate no tomb more deserving of respect than that of Daniel S. House, the patriot and gallant sol dier of the South. A Fiuend. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. The Invalid—A Fen Picture—See her palid countenance, but a short time ago the picture of ruddy health, the en vy of the school and the pride of the household. She was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her lithe form and pleasing disposition carried cheer fulness into their ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary, obedient and graceful at home, she won the hearts of all. But alafe, we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanched by Consumption. The voice once so en chanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky and supplanted by a hollow cough. Lot us approach her touch gently and take her Land. Do not shudder because of the feeble and passionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump is emaciated, and shows bony outlines, while the cords and tortuous veins are plaiuly mapped upon the surface. The pulse that bounded with repletion, car rying vigor to the whole system and imparting life, beanty, vivacity, health and strength, is delicate to the touch.— Tbe feeble heart cannot propel tbe thin, scanty blood with foice. Must we lose her while yet in her teens ? Companions and friends gather around with words of cheer and consolation, and depart with moistened eyes and silent steps. Must we lose her? No! there is a relief! — We can stay this destroyer of our hap piness, and not suffer the loss of so bright a gem. Something more is required now than dietary and hygienic observance, for nature calls for aid, and she shall have it. Take this pleasant medicine. It is invigorating. How it allays the irritable cough, improves the appetite and digestion, and sends a healthy tin gle through the Irame. The blood is en riched, nervouB force increased, and tbe heart bounds with a new impulse. See her face brighten by degrees; the color ia returning, her voice is getting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. The strength falters yet, but is gaining.— Let us taka her out in the warm sun- shiue. In a short time she will he able to go without our aid, a cheerful girl.— This delightful medicine must be God- blessed. It is restoring health to our loved one. She is emerging from her sickness sweeter and nobler tbnu before, and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery must have tbe credit. It has raised her. Sold by all first-class drug gists everywhere. The Latest Swindle■—Certain sancti monious charlatans would fain persuade the world that diffusive stimulants have no medicinal value, and that detestable slops, composed of griping acids and drastic purgatives, are better tonics than the finest vegetable ingredients combined with tbe purest and mellowest products of the still. But this sort of thing won’t go down. Tbe stomach of our common sense rejects it, as the physical stomach of every man with undepraved palate rejects, with loathing and abhorrence, the nauseous abominations, “free from alcohol,” which Humbugs are trying to thrast down the throats of Temperance Invalids under the pretense that the filth will do them good? It is not likely that while Plantation Bitters, the Standard Tonic of America, is anywhere accessible, such sickening frauds can make much headway, but it is as well to put the public ou their guard against them. pr It. The Hunt Prolific Cotton Seed. This is the ‘‘Old Hunt Variety,” but highly improved by four years careful selection of seed—with the object of in* creasing both the quantity of seed cotton and of lint. This result has now been certainly reached—and in offering this variety of seed to the public, I am sure they will find them to yield fully 10 per cent, more than ordinary seed. It is a long limbed prolific cotton, which sticks well in the bolls, yet picks easily, yield ing a fine short staplo cf lint. Price—$4 00 per Bushel.—Money should be sent in Registered letters, or Post Office orders, or by Express, to II. A. Hunt, Sparta, Ga., who will send seed as directed. II. A. HUNT. P. S.
