I i i i i TO THE STOCKHOLDERS Of the C«ntr*l B..lIro«rt Of Cnorglu, j received in November a circular signed by your president requesting vour he P k P n°ew a Sf nn^° r ? em f nt ' ^ that ne Knevv of no desire to change t he man- ff“. The letter of this statement may have known, but he V t la ^ tune, had ample reasons iT,'if! g i raV r nnd serious opposition to thl a ^ ni ! trat °''. l |le circular itself is £ff he8t evidence that he sought to . ’■ coll r tust h y securing in ndvanee the pioirnse of your support. In addition J eports have been widely circulated that the opposition to the pres ent management was composed of wreck ers and those who sought to injure your property and your state. This is absolute ly talse. Eleven out of thirteen of vour directors must bo Georgians. A majority of them will control your property. The opposition to the present management S* ve faith in the value of your property, rhey have evidenced this faith bv purchas ing stock at figures as high as $60 |a share more than some of the leading members of the present directory said it was worth. Do men invest millions in a property to de stroy it. W hile your directors have used the knowledge of your names and ad dresses to procure proxies in their own in terests, to perpetuate their own power, they have denied us access to the same in formation in order to prevent us from con ferring with you and correcting the false impressions conveyed to you. Our friends applied to your cashier for a list of your names, *and he, under the instructions of your directors, refused it. Why? Is it not clear? To perpetuate their control, by pre- . venting us from correctin' i'ul.se reports' and presenting to you tho reasons why a I change of management is not on'y desira- ole, but necessary for the protection of | your interests. Will you endorse by your votes a policy of concealment? Will you appoint agents who not only conceal from you the material facts, but deny your clear and undoubted rights? j We have made every effort to ascertain j your names and addresses. Denied our ! rights by our directors we applied to the ! court to compel them to perform their duty. The court has decided that the j right of the stockholder to have access to ! the books of his corporation for the pur- j pose of ascertaining who his associates are, I in order that he may confer and advise witli them as to the best persons to man age their common property, is clear and undoubted. Still our directors refuse to I submit; to gain time they appeal to the I supreme court, well knowing that that I court has adjourned until January 10, and I that the ease cannot be heard therein un- ! til after the election on January 3. They ‘ use the law’s delay to defeat 11s of a com- I mon right. Is this fair? Is the manage-j ment of your great property to be secured by such method? Does it not occur to you I that your agents would not make this des- ! perate fight to prevent you from confer ring together unless the consciousness of their own errors convinced them that such conference would result in their retire ment ? A stockholder should be vigilant; his interests demand it. He should jeal ously watch and protect his rights. Your vote is your most important right in this corporation. Will you sacrifice it? We trust not. Come to the election on the 3d of January, confer witli your asso ciates and vote your stock in person. De termine for yourself who will best serve your interests. This election will be both important and interesting. It will repay a trip to Savan nah. Your ownership of stock entitles you to a free ride on your road. We urge you to come. E. P. Alexander, J. J.

The most thoroughly artistic dog story ! that has been sprung on the public lately is put out by Jesse Haugh, and clearly en titles him to entrance to the free-for-all. Haugh has a setter pup of extraordinary intelligence (taking his word for it), and was walking up Meridian street with the dog one day last week. Out on the edge of the gutter, near the blind asylum, the pup discovered an old pointer, and, with the natural curiosity <pf his kind, started out to make the acquaintance of his fellow canine. An inspection developed the fact that, in addition to the nat ural infirmities incident to his ad vanced years, the old dog nad been totally disabled by some malicious scamp who had shot him in the face with a load of small shot, destroying the sight of both eyes. Now, here is where Haugh makes his record. He says that the puppy, having satisfied himself of the condition ot the old dog, adopted all sorts of ruses to get him to stand up, barking and coaxing id every way imaginable, his eilorts being finally rewarded by success. In the same way he led the blind dog to Mr. Haugh a home on Pratt street, got him back into the shed, and made up a good bed witli straw and old carpet, into which he care fully piloted him. Every time the puppy has been fed since, he has taken his meal to his invalid companion, devoting as much care and attention to him as one human being would to another.—Indian apolis Journal.

K was wheeling round and round, flapping its big winga, just as you’ve seyn buzzards or eagles do, overhead, Down it cam \ lower and lower, and l a-crouching as fiui ns I could get. The nearer it got the big ger it looked, and, as l see it was Resettling °n me, I took the pike I always carried, j and as it wheeled around over* me 1 let drive. Hit it? Well, I reckon I did. The next thing I knew I was standing on mv : head, rolling over and over, then yanked i sideways, half-drowned, and then I reckon I lost my senses, and when I came to I was lyin’ on deck and all hands looking at mo. 1 i ou see the critter had given the water' such a swirl that I was knocked end fori end, and my pipe and line twisted around i and around so that I couldn’t breathe, and j of course that pulled the line and the man I thought I had jerked it to come up, so th^y hauled away for all they were worth, ' and that’s what saved my life. “What was it? Why, nothing but one of 1 those sea bats—blanket fish .the other men I called it—and they all said I had a narrow run for it. That was the way, accordin’ to their say, that the fish goes to work to get ! away with a man. They first settle down on you like a blanket, and there you are. There wasn’t a man that would go down, i after that for several days, and as for me. I threw up the job; no blanket, fish for me. No, I don’t hardly believe the fish was alter me. My idea is that it was coming ! down on the bank to feed on tile oysters and that ic didn’t see me, and plenty of men may have been lost by the fish get ting fouled in the line; hut that's only my idea. I was just as scared as ifit had nude a grab at me, and I didn’t propose to take any chances.” SENATOR LOGAN'S VACANT SEAT. Oglesby, Fanvpfi and Four Congressmen Irnm Illi nois Would Like if. Washington, December 29.—The suc cessor to Senator Logan in the senate can be counted upon as one of six men. Outside of the candidates that may be : found in the congressional delegation, there are but two who will figure in the contest. These are Gov. R. J. Oglesby and 1 ex-Congressman Charles B. Fanveli. In ■ this connection, however, it is not a cer tainty that Gov. Oglesby will become a candidate. When lie was last elected Governor, he then announced that with the expiration of his present office he in tended to retire from public life to his farm at Lincoln. If he is still of the opinion expressed two years ago tin? num ber will be reduced to five. Those of the ! congressional delegation who are known ! as candidates are Gen. Henderson, Judge Payson, ‘Mr. Cannon and Mr. Hitt. The i contest will rest, without doubt, between Mr. Farwell’ and the four congressmen I above named. Those who speak know- 1 ingly upon the subject do not think ex- | Secretary of War Robert T. Lincoln has I any thought of becoming a candidate. The same persons entertain similar op in- i ions with reference to the mentioned can didacy of Jehu Baker. Should the race be narrowed down to the four congressmen it , would seem that Henderson and Judge Payson might be most formidable, though Mr. Cannon has been working for a nuin- * ber of years to reach the senatorial goal, while the two former have never manifest ed any particular ambition of that kind. GOV. OGLESBY THE FAVORITE. Chicago, December 29.—Local politi cians took up to-day the question of Sena tor Logan’s successor, and it was generally agreed that ex Congressman Charles B. Farwell, of this city, was the favorite in j the Cook county delegation in the legisla- i ture, but many of the gossipers did not | think Mr. Farwell would go into a fight lor , the place nor invest the money necessary to make a winning fight. Congressman | Payson is mentioned favorably as having j strength among the country members be- ’ cause of bis fight against the land grant; railroads. Elfhu B. Washburne is also j mentioned among the black horses, \ especially as a man upon whom factions might unite. Still the strong feeling throughout the state is for Oglesby, and it j seems almost safe to predict that he will j succeed Logan if he cares to. Non Orleans Hares. New Orleans, December 30.—This was the fifth day of the winter meeting of the j Louisiana jockey club. The weather threatened rain, but the track was in good condition.

Wilmington, Del., December 30.—At 1 o’clock this morning fire broke out in J. H. Cathcart’s news stand, in Smyrna, Del., badly damaging that building, Win. Win- ford’s general merchandise store, J.

New York, December 30.—Hearing on the motion to show cause why a stay of proceedings should not be granted in the case of ex-Alderman McC^uade, which was to have taken place this morning before Judge Pratt in Brooklyn, has been further postponed until 9 o’clock to-morrow morn ing. m , m Heavy Losses. St. Louis, December 30.—Fire in the spice mills of William Scatten, last night, cause d a loss on the building of £30,000, on stock £35,000, on machinery £10,000; total £35,000. Insurance £65,000. Jottings from the Jewelers* Journal. Among new flower-pins is the pond lily, with diamond centre. In plated ware the bright cut satin finish is still the most popular style. Circles of small opals, each surrounding a larger pearl, make pretty ear rings. The newest bottles for aromatic salts are made of antique silver, chased in Etruscan designs. For pendants on queen chains, faceted cubes, vinaigrettes, knots and odd shapes seem to be the favorite still. Bug and fly pins appear to be increasing i in size, and the opal is in great requisition | for the bodies of the insects. Cats’ heads, made of small diamonds and I placed on a spiral wire, are among the new ornaments used for the hair. 1 The soft, will-o’-the-wisp-like glow of the fairy lamp gives a beautiful effect in the drawing-room, dining-room or con- j servatory. . , A rare new bracelet 13 a 3ingle narrow' | band of gold set with a topaz over a half i inch wide and an inch long, with diamonds | on each side. , I Opals are now used with good effect in | combination with rubies or diamonds, in the popular lines of flower-pins in Roman j or matted finish. Egyptian ear-rings made of enameled j gold in the form of snakes and ropes are in favor this fall. They are generally enam eled in blue and garnet. The spinel seems to be in part usurping the place hitherto occupied by the ruby as a companion gem, and in brilliancy is little inferior to its more costly rival. One Consolation to the Poor.

Two gentlemen, discussing the subject of rheumatism and other blood diseases, made the following declarations. One was oil crutches, which prompted the inquiry of the other as to what was the matter. He said: “1 have had a long spell of typoid fever, which left me almost prostrate. My sys tem was poisoned with malaria, which set tled in my left leg, causing a fearful ulcer. M,v friends induced me to take mercury to cleanse my blood, but, alas! my teeth are loose, my mouth is wore. My hair Is nearly all gone, and my limbs arc drawn up witli rheumatism, and I cannot walk without crutches. Recently they have changed tlie prescription, and I have been taking iodide of potash. This healed up the ulcer, but inis disordered my stomach and caused pain in the bowels, and 1 am so weak and nauseated that 1 had as soon die as to live on at this vale.” “My dear sir, you should have known that mercury taken any length of time would gradually settle In the tissues and bones, producing mercurial rheumatism and other diseases equally as painful. And everybody knows thru : -'dldt- of potash Ls one of the strongest mineral preparations in the whole ii.st; eats away t iio coating of the stomach, dries up the gastric juices, do- stroysall appetite, and wears a man away to a mere skeleton. These mercury and potash mixtures have killed and crippled more men than war, famine and nentiUncc. combined. I am sorry for you. If you are open to conviction l have relief for you in sight. Here is a remedy which, os a boon to humanity, is worth its weight in gold. I nu-an the S vift’s Specific. It is the only specific for blood poison. It is purely vegetable, made from roots gathered from the forests of Georgia. It builds up wasted constitutions, roots out these mineral poisons from the blood, and brings health and happiness into everv suflerer’s home. Had you taken this you would have been a well man long ago. It is this remedy that has given me perfect health and keeps me strong,” said the other man.
