About Kiafoulu*
From extract/* from a private letter in the
Newnan People’s Defender, of the 4th insL,
we extract the following :
Eufaula already has a river communication
with the Gulf, via Apalachicola, and with the
North, via Columbus. Then a lino of rail lead
ing east to Macon (the Southwestern Railroad.)
When the Brunswick Road is completed, we
may truly sav Eufaula is open to the world.
The amount of cotton received at this place is
about 42,000 bales, against 00,000 before the
war. The finest lands in the world, the “Cow-
ikee,” lie in the immediate vicinity. This land,
before the war, commanded from forty to fifty
dollars per acre.
The country presents a variety of soil. A
small quantity of fertilizers are being used on the
poorer lands, with eminent success. The cli
mate is about like yours, with one exception,
the nights are not so pleasant; the water is
mostly free stone. There is, comparatively
speaking, but little or no sickness, and, as a
proof of tho advantages on this point, I will
shew' you that people live to b« a ripe old age in
this “dreaded country.” Tho family I allude to
(tho “Spurlocks”) are connected to that of Dr.
John W. Pearce, of your county, and I guess ho
is familiar with what I am about to remark. I
dined with Mr, Orvoy Spurlock on last Sabbath,
and am indebted to him for this remarkable in
telligence,—and why I say remarkable—be
cause it is a rare occurrence that you meet with
so long lived a family. First, two years ago
Mr. John Spurlock died in this county, (a native
of Columbia county, South Carolina,) aged 111
years, 9 months, and 27 days. Prior to his
death, his sister, Susan, died, (tho eldest child,)
aged 127 years. At 118 she conld walk, by
holding on to the side of tho house. The gen
tleman in reference could, at* tho ago of 100,
plough for as many as six hours during tho day.
He lived to see his seventh generation; his son,
William, aged 88, and Solomon, aged 80, are
both alive—and, to use their own expressions,
“pretty fair plough boys.” I had tho ploosuro
to meet *‘Uncle Solomon” on last Sunday, at
his son, Orvey’s. Ho detailed a good many in
cidents in connection with tho early history of
this country, which proved to be very interests
ing. Ho is a good, old “Hard Shell Baptist.”
William is a dashing, gay widower, and tulks a
great deal about tho “clover girls,” and, to uso
a common expression is “on the carpet.”
Though his life may bo on the wano,
And youth’s young current cease to flow.
Yet, lie loves just the same
As he did sixty years ago.
• A Iiirnlof the Crhhratcd Mrs. Qatar.n Cast—
A Bit of Jtomance-~- Upon IlixU)nj a n d Truth.—
In 1841 a young man by the name of Blake from
Mississippi, was on a visit to his relatives (tho
Mitchells, of Glennville in this county, supposed
to be wealthy,) whon ho had remained some
length of time, and fixed tho day for his return,
he bid farewell, and left for Montgomery via
Spring Hill; when within a short distanco of
the latter place, distant abont 12 miles from
Glennville, ho was met by one Georgo Lour or
(Lower,) an acquaintance, (a married man of
northern birth,) and they proceeded in the di
rection of Spring Hill, “Lower” armed with a
shot gun as if on a morning hunt. They passed
two ladies on horseback, when “Lower” thought
they had (tho ladies) passed far enough for him
to put his hclish design into execution, ho mur
dered young Blake. Suspicion being laid uoon
“Lower,” ho was arraigned and committed to
jail, from which place ho mado his escape. Up
to time of eseftpo he was rather adjudged by
the rox populi to bo innocent. This and other
evidence, howover, was satisfactory and ho was
afterward caught and hung. He went West, re
mained abont a year, then returned and was
lirking round the neighborhood sleeping in gin
hocses. He was in tho habit of visiting tho gin
house of one of his old personal friends, who,
however, had no knowledge of “Lower” being
in tho county nor had any one elso; his track
being seen very often, it was thought to be that
of a runaway negro. So his friend procured
help from his neighbors, and surrounding tho
gin houso one night, caught “George Lower”
the murderer of Henry Blake—he was taken to
jail, tried, convicted and hung. His family, to
cover their shame his wife, and two children, a
girl and boy, left for tho West (Texas,) whoro
they lived in obscurity, and forgotten by those
they left behind, save when some one visits tho
Mitchell yard at tho Glennvillo Cemetery and
sees the two tombs of young Blake and his
mother, the former inscribed; “Henry Blake,
murdered by George Lower, 1841.”
Mrs. Eliza Blake died of grief occasioned by
tho intelligence of tho tragical death of her son,
who was murdered by “ Georgo Lower.”
Lower owned considerable property in what
were then fields around the little town of Irwin-
ton (now Eufaula, Ala.) No attention was paid
to this till since the war his daughter comes up
and sues for the recovery of her father’s prop
erty, which involves the whole of tho city of
Eufaula, about $120,000 worth of property in
real estate. The lady in question is said to ho
a handsome young girl, or rather woman, and if
she bo fortunate, which there can be hardly ft
shadow of doubt, it will cover the shame of the
past, and I dare say shell have many a string to
her bow. There is scarcely a title to be found
in Eufaula, I am told, that will pass for genuine.
Eufaula has a population of about 8,000.—
Some handsome buildings, among them “Hart's
Mammoth Block,” containing one of tho most
superb halls in the South. It is a master-piece
of architecture. Tho college (Union Female)
is in a flourishing condition under the immedi
ate supervision of Rev. J. K. Armstrong. This
is a most excellent building, and commands a
splendid view of the city. There is no place on
earth that excels Eufaula in point of beauty as
a location and apportionment of its beautiful
streets.
A Georgia Keene.
Whisky and the Law in Son l Conjunction—
lloir Judge Brown Stole the Spoons,
Many years Ago, when the State of Georgia
was in its infancy, one of the Circuit Judges was
Bela Brown—an ancestor of the recent “seeesh”
Governor of that name. Ho was u man of abil-
ty and integrity, but like a good many distin
guished persons of that day, ho loved a social
glass ; and whenever tho members of the bar
would turn in and help, he sometimes drank to
excess and became gloriously fuddled. On one
occasion while traveling on circuit, he reached
the village of Drayton, in Dooly comity, where
the court was to be opened next day, and took
quarters with a relative of his wife, that lady
accompanying him. After supper, Judge Brown
strolled over to the only tavern in the pl&oe,
kept by one Sterritt, where he met a number of
his legal friends. A convivial evening was
passed; drinks frequently went round, and
somewhere about midnight, the Honorable Bela
was in a state of mind quite the reverse of that
implied by the old saw, “sober as a Judge.”—
When he was lea ring for home, one of the young
lawyers, in a spirit of mischief, slyly passed
some spoons from the tumblers into the Judge’s
pocket.
On dressing himself next morning, the eccen
tric official, patting his hand into liis pocket,
was greatly perplexed in discovering three or
four silver spoons.
“My God ! Polly,” said he to his wife, “just
look here ; I believe I’ve stolen some of Ster-
rifct’s spoons !'*
“Let’s see thsm, ’ said the wife. “Yes, sure
enough—here’s his veritable initials? Pray
howmd you happen to have them in your pock
et?"
“I think I must hsve been drunk when I come
home, wasn’t I ?” inquired the Judge.
“Yes,” replied the devoted Polly, '-yon kn: v
your old habit when yon get among those lo.v-
yers.”
“Certainly; I can understand easy enough
how it all came about That fellow, Sterritt
keeps the meanest liquor in the State ; bnt I
never supposed that to drink it would make «
man
The spoons were duly returned to the land
lord, and the Judge went and opened his Court,
thinking no more of the matter. Several days
elapsed, and the business of the Court was draw
ing to a dose, when one morning a rough look
ing customer was arraigned before his Honor
for larceny. He pleaded guilty, but said in
mitigation, that he was drunk at the time he
committed the offense.
“What is the nature of the charge against this
man?” enquired Judge Brown.
“Stealing money from the till at Sterristt’
tavern,” replied the clerk.
“Young man,” said the Judge, solemnly, “are
you sure yon was intoxicated when you took
this money ?”
“Yea, your Honor, I was no jolly drunk that
things looked like they wore dancing double
shuffles, and when I went oat doors the ground
kept coming np, and hitting me on the head.
“That will do,” replied the Judge. “But tell
me, did you get all the liquor you drank at
Sterritt’s ?” n
“Every drop of it, your Honor.
“And so you got tipsey on his liquor, and
then stole his money ? ’
“That’s it exactly; I didn’t know what I was
doing.”
Turning to tho prosecuting attorney, the
worthy magistrate said; “This is a most extra
ordinary case, Mr. Attorney, and one, I think,
demanding the clemency of the Court. You
will therefore do me the favor of entering a
n/Ale profile. That liquor of Sterritt’s’ I have
reason to know, is mean enough to make a man
do anything dirty. I go drunk on it myself the
other night, and stole all his spoons! If Ster
ritt will sell snch abominable stuff he ought not
to have the protection of this Court. You may
release the prisoner, Mr. Sheriff.”

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this ex>
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
many of which arc of 9
truly marvellous char
acter. Inveterate cases
of Scrofula, where the
system seemed utterbr
given up to corruption,
have yielded to this com-
pound of auti-strumou»
virtues. Disorders of a
scrofulous type, and af-
fections which are merely
aftfgravnted by tho presence of scrofulous matter,
have been radically cored in such numerous in
stances, in every settlement in the country, that the
public do not need to be informed here that it is in
most cases a specific and absolute remedy.
Scrolhlous poison is one of the most destrnctivo
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites tho attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some lavorablo occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among tho vitals. In the latter, tuber
cles may bo suddenly deposited in tho lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in tho liver. These facts
make the occasional uso of tho Sarsajntrilla as a
preventive, advisable.
It is a mistake to suppose that so long as no erup
tions or Immors appear, there must be no scrofulous
taint. These forms of derangement may never
occur, and yet the vital forces of the body bo 60 re*
duccd by its subtle agency, a3 materially to impair
the health and shorten the duration of Mk It is a
common error, also, that scrofula is strictly heredi
tary. It does, indeed, descend from parent to child,
bnt is also engendered in persons born of pure
blood. Low living, indigestion, foul air, licentious
habits, uncleanliness, and the depressing vices gen
erally, produce it. Weakly constitutions, where not
fortiiica bv tho most constant and judicious care,
arc pcculfarly liable to it. Y'ct tho robust, also
whose turbid blood swells the veins with anappav
ently exuberant vitality, are often contaminated,
and on the niAfl to its consequences. Indeed, no
rl:i-> <>r condition can depend on immunity from
it, nor feel insensible to tho importance of an cffec-
tual remedy.
lu fit Anthony’* Fire, Hose or Erysipelas,
for Tetter, Salt Jtheum, Scald Head, Jtiiig-
icorm, Sore Ears ami Eyes, and other eruptive
or visible forms of the diseases caused primarily by
the scrofulous infection, the Sarsaparilla is so ef
ficient as to be indispensable. And in the more
concealed forms, as in Dyspepsia,Dropsy, Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and other
affections of the muscular aad nervous systems, tho
Sarsaparilla, through its purifying power, re
moves the cause of tho disorder and produces aston-
Lhing cure-.
The sarsaparilla root of the tropics docs not by
itself achieve these results. It is aided by tho ex
tracts combined with it, of still greater power. So
potent is this union ofheaHuff virtues, Syphilis or
Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by
it, though a longtime is required for subduing these
obstinate maladies by any medicine. Feucorrlura
or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases in general, are commonly soon relieved
and ultimately cured by tho invigorating and puri
fying effect of our Sarsaparilla. ltheumutisnt
and Gout, often dependent on the accumulations of
extraneous matters in the blood, have their remedy
also in this medicine. For Direr Complaints,
torpidity, inflammation, abcess, etc., caused by
rankling poisons in the blood, we unhesitatingly
recommend the Sarsaparilla.
This medicine restores health and vigor where no
specific disease can be distinguished. Its restora
tive power i3 soon felt by those who are Languid,
Listless, Desjtondent, Sleepless, and filled with
Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or who are
troubled with any other of those affections symp
tomatic of weakness. Many, after taking ft for
General Debility, have written us of the youth
ful vigor imparted to their nervous system,‘which
seemed buoyant with that prolific life'thcy thought
had departed on the advance of age. Others, whose
fountains of life were always sterile, acknowlodgo
their obligations to it for an obvious change.

As its name implies, it does Cure, and docs not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise injures tuiy patient. The
number and importance of its cures in the ague dis
tricts, are literally beyond account, and wo believe
without a parallel in the history of medicine. Our
pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we re
ceive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases,
and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Unaccliraated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro
tected by taking the AGUE CUJtU daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity
of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
tho Liver into healthy activity.
