If you desiro rosy cheeks and a complex ion fair and free from pimples and blotches, purify yonr blood by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.

New facts are killing them. The idea that invalids weakened bv disease can be relieved by prostrating them with destructive drugs, is no longer entertained except by monomaniacs. Ever since the introduction of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters it has been obvious Hint their regulating and invigora l ing properties arc all-sufficient for the cure of cbonic indi gestion, rheumatism, constipation, diarrhoea, nervous affections, and malarious fevers, and they are now the standard remedy for these complaints in every section of the Union. feblC—dawtf Beauty’s Best Auxiliary.—Ask the belle of the season what appointment of her toilet table holds the highest place in her esteem, and she will reply, without a moment's re flection, Hagan’s Magnolia Balm. Nothing, sbe h thoroughly aware, contributes so pow erfully to enhance her charms and render her irresistible as that moat delightful and health ful auxiliary of beauty. By using it ladies ure enabled, long after they have passed the meridian of life, to preserve the youthful b oom and purity of tiieir complexions, and where nature bos denied that superlative at traction, the balm fully compensates for her deficiencies. feb27-deodlw&wlt Aggravated Indigestion.—Perrons wh° are predisposed to dyspepsia, find their suf ferings from this cause greatly aggravated by damp weather, easterly winds, and sudden changes from a mild to a chilling atmosphere. In the spring, therefore, tbe pangs of indi gestion arc seriously augmented by the at- musphereic variations peculiar to the season, and it is incumbent upon all who desire to pass through the ordeal of its cold mists and insalubrious gales with easy stomachs, and untonnented by the indescribable tcyments which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the digestive organs with a health ful and effective vegetable invigorant; and no one at all familiar with the medical record of the age, can question for one moment that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the Tonic best adapted to this purpose. The credentials of the Great Restorative are eunqualled in number and character by those of any other advertised medicine in the world. If ever there was a preparation to rank as a National Remedy, this wonderful specific has a fair claim to the title. For a period of twenty years ithasliterallv bein the Champion Tonic and Alterative on this side of the Atlantic. In popularity it has never been approached by any of its would-be competitors, and its annual sales are so far in advance of those of any other medicine of its class, that comparisons would be ridicu lous. One or two conclaiions is inevitable. Either the American people are deficient in common sense, and ir capable of rat ional dis crimination, or Hostetler’s Bitters is the best preventive remedy for indigestion, fever and ague, billions remittent fever, constipation, rheumatism, nervous complaints, and all mal adies of an epidemic or endemic type. The reader will judge for himself which of tbe two conclusions is most consistent with fact and reason. deedl w&wit.

In tbccasv mentioned In "th Howard, win re a Dis trict Coart attempted to Interfere with a State Cenrt, th.- attachment of the Sum Court was held to be a lien oo tbe property attached, because tbo property wae attachable. In tbe case at bar, the property attached 1* not law- fu:ly before the Stale Courts. A lawful seizure bring-* it before tbe State Court; an unlawful one dors not. Capt.

This authority not having been furnish.-d at th* Fuser 41. Services.—On Sonday after noon he Second Baptist Church was crowded on the occasion of the faderal services of tbe lata Miss Sallie O'Keefe. The Rev. Dr. Spaulding delivered an eloquent and petht tic discourse baaed upon the words of the old Patriarch, “All these thing* are against me.” The trial* ard afflictions of Che Christian often fall grievously, and thickly as the leaves in autumn. But the earnest divine demonstrated that even In tho ewe of tbe Patriarch his afflictions were 4 blessing* In disguise,” and that this Is equally true of every Christian life. A large concourse accompanied th* fneeral cortege to the cemetery, thus testifying their sympathy for a family that has been sorely afflicted. Batallttl.' more than a year ago tbe eldest daughter “went to sleep,” and was laid away In the “City of the Dead; ” then followed quickly after tbe loved respected and warm-hearted father, and now another daughter has go..e to repose by the side cf the dear ones, over whose graves the earth Is still frtah and the grass scarcely yet beginning to grow. And she died in the blush and bloom of young womanhood; over seven tet-n she would have been at the coming of the next May blossoms. Wc trust tint tbe death of this young Christian will impress its solemn lessons upon the young of the community.

AVtra. Wants a Situation. The following from the Macon Telegraph and Messenger contains sound sense. We trust it will be heeded: The very numerous responses to every ad vertised “situation” in the Telegraph, show melancholy lack of “clui ccs for business” in this part of Georgia, and a philosophical view of the status should satisfy everybody that it must be a long time before Georgia can offer much chance for the salaried man The truth Is, that ever since the war, there may be said to have been only one regularly good business in tbe State, and that is money lending. Money has been in greater demand and at higher prices than any thing else, and hence business enterprise lias been taking that shape. The savings of the people are being invested in bunks and loan associations, and will continue to be so invested, until there la plenty of money to lo.<« at fair prices, and then capital will seek some other employment—say in trade or manufacturing When affairs take this turn there will soring up a gradual demand for skilled labor of all kinds, and salaried positions become more common. Meantime let the young men of Georgia reflect that there never will, probably, be more than one great generally prosperous in terest in Georgia, and that is the fanning in terest With a very small capital, a clear head, sound constitution and Indomitable >lnck and industry, any young man can tak<^ idd of fanning In Georgia with every reasonable prospect of winning his way to comfort and competence. Why should he not abandon tbe quest for “giluation,” and aspire to a position from which no man can reduce him to distress and want by a dis missal from service ? rap* to tt. Jzige ptrpbras remarked that the Recovery BBi did not n*<* th* words “real aad personal” t> property, because It had enlarged tbe power* of tbo attachment. Tbe lest statute if it nse* more prehccaive t< rms cannot be cut down by o!der stat ute*. Ibe homestead law doea not ecek to provides man wl.h a boot# oat of another man's property. The Recovery Bill is a remedial act, and Is to be coo- *:rutd literally to advance tbe remedy. Tbe object of the bill vr-a to reach propwty not reached by Other etatutea.

Brand and Narrow caofo Bail ways Contrasted aolkoHeaaoef Beret, o patent. The subject of Broad and Narrow Gauge Railroads are attracting universal attention, and we are setting forth the advantages claimed by the friends of the latter. We shall then show the advantages of the Broad Gauge. As the means of development rail ways are unequaled. In tracing their power we arc lost In amazement, and no one can possibly deny that they have wrought won ders in our behalf, and that to strike them out of existence, would “set the clock of time back a centurybut we may and should en quire whether or not they have folly realized our expectations. We have in the South vast and inexb&usti- aole supplies of coal and iron, unequalled for their purity and richness, and the small cost at which they can be mined and work, never theless they remain locked up in our hills and mountains. It is a conceded fact that they are the foundation for all other manufactures. It is a historical fact that to their development England owes her superiority as the first commercial power of the world. Onr de posits of coal and iron are vastly superior to hers; yet, with this enormous wealth within our easy grasp, we are dependent upon others for the commonest articles of necessity, even to the nails and screws used in the construc tion of onr coffins. Some years since, Congress enacted a pro tective tariff, and among the articles included were coal and iron. About tuis time, north ern railways, with a view to the develepment of these tinea* of wealth, adopted what was then considered very low rates of freight Believing that if these rates could be main tained that it woald result in their develop ment, they struggled on for years under the most adverse circumstances, until at last the business reached so large an amount in the aggregate, that it began to pay. Then it was that they began to reap their reward which has finally resulted in enrich ing their people, and giving to those railways a vast power, which, to-day, is felt through out the length and breadth of our continent. To-day our coal and iron interests are less advanced, than theirs when they commenced their systematic efforts for their development. Let ns now exatnino the condition of that section, and of their railways at that time, and compare it with our present condition, and sec what prospect there is for us to de velop our coal and iron with our present rail way system. They had an agricultural interest fully de veloped. Ours is only partially so. They had a manufacturing interest firmly established! We have comparatively, none. They had a dense population. We have a very sparse one. - They had, and still hare, & large immigra tion, containing ait element of great value to them, namely; that of skilled and unskilled labor. We have no immigration, and are deficient in both skilled and unskilled la bor. They had, and still have, an abundance of capital. We have a scarcity. So much for the compaiative condition of that section then, and our own section now. While their railways were maintaining these low rates, and thns developing their coal and iron, they had a well developed agricultural interest, a firmly established manufacturing interest, a dense population, a latge and steady fiow of iHinigration, and a supply of labor, both ample and skillful,.to sustain them. Our railways have none of these advan tages to sustain them; and, were they to at tempt a similar policy, it would resulting signal failure. Our railways in our mineral regions have cost us full $30,000per mile, and with bnt one partially developed interest, that of agricul ture, with comparatively no manufacturing interests, with a sparse population, and no immigration, they necessarily have a very light business, less by several hundred per cent than their real capacity. With their great cost, heavy operating ex penses and light business, they cannot possi bly wotk chesp, but must have high rafts for ail they do in order to sustain themselves. They cannot work at such low rates as will extensively develope our coal and iron. They have tiros far failed to do so. Now let us compare the condition of the Nor.born and Southern manuafeturers of an. Tbe Northern manufacturer has cheap on!. Cheap iron, cheap rales of transporta tion ou tiie raw materia), cheap rates on supplies for his operatives, cheap rates on his manufactured goods, an ample supply pf skilled labor, ample hanking facilities, and what is uf the first importance to tho manu facturer, a cash market for his goods. Tbo Southern manufacturer has dear coal, dear iron, dear rates of freight on tbe raw material, dear rales on supplies for Ms opera tions, dear rates on bis manufactured goods, scarcety of skilled labor, a great lack of banking facilities, and worse than all, is com pelled, in numerous instances, to sell his goods on a credit. The first step towards independence, the development of cur coal and iron, and the establishment and successful maintainanceof onr manufactures, is cheap transportation. This will give us cheap coal, without which, wc cannot maintain them. With narrow gauge railways, with their small cost, their light operating expenses, and consequently low rates, we esn develop our coal and iron, and build np and sustain manufactures. t5T* A little Boston boy wanted a sister or a brother to pin-with.’ His mother suggest ed that he should pray for one.

The convention of farmers is a fine body of men, both physically and mentally. They have done an immense amount of business in their three days session. They talked a good deal, too, but well and pointedly. I have been struck with tbe force and grace of iheir speeches. Long talks have been out of the question. These planters have a neat way of snubbing down chaffy talk that is admirable. One sophomore chap, half tight, was allowed to go on a few minutes, when a unanaimous assault of applause drowned him down. He oracnlated, and at the same time the conven tion applasded. Not a word eould be heard, but yet the convention cheered him with a racket that left him unheard. At length, he stopped, bewildered, and the business went on. «. Fulton was represented by Robert Baugb, Hark Johnson and T. B. Camp. Mayor Jsme3 and your correspondent represented Atlanta. Colonel W. H. Weems urged the big canal. S’!he fint day Colonel ScreTen, Mayor of Savannah, In behalf of Savannah, made a fine reception speech, In which he alluded to the happy selection of Savannah as the place for the Convention. I quote this paragraph: “Here Oglethorpe lead his little colony; here tho first blow of the ate was struck which leveled the forest; here the first Colo nial Assembly met; here the first free Legis lature of Georgia sat; here were fought the first and bloodiest conflicts; here^livcd Na thaniel Greene; here died Pulaski, and in thi3 immediate vicinity Jasper illustrated by his life the prowess and the courage of the hero. Not far from this spot aro tho crumbling foun dations of the first cotton gin ever invented, and from this port the first steamship essayed to cross the stormy bosom of tho Atlantic,” General Colquitt responded well, thanking the citizens of Savannah for their hospi tality. He also congratulated tbe Society on its labors, and he said it had given to the agricultural interests of the Stale. The Executive Committee for 1872 is com posed as follows: FIRST DISTRICT. Wm.

Secretary Lewis, in his annual report, urged the establishment of a Society organ, advocating it lengthily. OATS, This subject was discussed in all of Its bearings save one. That peculiar phase known as “Wild Oats” was left untouched. The raising of oats was advocated as being as valuable a crop as com. JAMBOREE. As usual, these irresistible folks in Savan nah run broad gauge on the subject of “Jam boree.” They eat a man and drink bin; until there is BPt q Cfevlpe inside ol I)im un. stuffed with good things. They parry him all over the ciuntry on jolly excursions. They gush over with hospitality. Two- liras of the Convention at ibis identical moment are founder d. The first pi&ht Mr. Charles Green, a rich merchant, gorged them to the brim with his punch and oysters. An excursion down the river to day finished them. Tho whole riffling of them are as limp as Sounders. TRE SECOND DAY. The individual movement of sen 'ing CoL C. W. Howard to Europe us a private immi gration agent was unanimously indorsed. The Committee, headed l>y Sir. Barnett, submitted an able report on 'county subjects .or investigation. The following general subjects were recommended: Original condition of the farm. Prepara tion of land. Fertilization. Planting and sowing. Cultivation. Gathering and saving crops. Special crops. Tools and utensils. Stock. Food and supplies. Marketing. Re cording and understanding results. This report was a very fine one, and lengthy. Mr. Jones, of Burke, delivered a good ad dress on sheep. He urged that the farmers raise them more. General ground was taken in favor of a dog law. THE AGRICULTURAL LAND SCRIP. The most important matter bpfore tbe Convention urns the disposition <>f the land scrip. This is a big botje. The following places are after it sharply:. Milledgeyille, Athens, Gridin, Dahluncga, Marietta, each with a zealous advocate loaded with a big speech. The question cam® up on a resolu tion of CoL Howard referring to Iho possi bility that Georgia may not be entitled to it, and looking to steps to secure It Irrevocably. This sprang the mine. Gen. Phillips, of Marietta, offered a reso lution giving it to Marietta, and hacking it with a speech in behalf ol the Georgia Mili tary Institute. The General made a good effort, and brought down the house repeated ly. fie plead eloquently for his place. He paid a glowing tribute to the graduates of the institute, and showed their splendid record in the war. The matter was not acted on, bnt postponed for some more jamboree. This subject is going to be a tough one to Snnlly settle. The claims are confil '* a high degree, The fightjng wpl Ig . ... The convention passed a resolution to memo rialize the Legislature to give the society the settlement of the matter. This closes tbe Georgia Western Canal subject for this ses sion. Colonel Weems made a takidg speech on this subject to the convention, find a resolu tion was passed for the President to appoint a committee of three to memorialize Con- I tcss on the subject. . CoLnel Weems made a : ine impression and did great good to the vast scheme of benefit to Georgia. Tbe committee appointed consists of CoL T. Hardeman, of Macon, CoL Atklqson, of Catpden, aqd Col. Steadman, of Newton. THE SECURITY ACTS. A resolution was passed recommending the repeal of the lien act of 186G, and the mortgage or security net of December 13, 1871, which make the farmers vassals to the factors, discouraging tbo culture of food in the cotton region, and transfers the property of the planter to the factor.

Yes, it has a history, may as well tell it to you now as any other time, I suppose. You ought to be called the Great American History Extractor, or Ro mance Extractor, for if there is a particle of romance in anything or anybody, in a place where you happen to be, you are sure to scent it out” Msg Hastings was indeed an indefatigable romance hunter. She was always looking for situations where the romantic predomi nated. She would have succeeded as a dramatist, without a doubt She was ap parently as happy as mortal could be on the morning in question, nestled in the depths of my scarlet lounge, perfectly certain that she looked picturesque in her dark green street suit relieved by the daintiest linen. “Comehere,pet!’’ saidshe; and a bunch of white wool, with a blue ribbon tied atone end of it, marking a spot wherein a dog’s neck would be, trotted mysteriously toward her. What propelling power there could be in the shaggy thing was a wonder I could never get over, but somehow it managed to spring into Msg’s arms, and then the silence assured me that my story was expected. The surroundings were favorable forstory- telling, it is true. The room heavily wain scoted with dark wood; the cases of books of &11 times and of ail varieties; tho long windows richly draped with scarlet brocade lined with exquisite lace; the thick, soft car pet of mottled green; the Turkish lounges, the quais chairs, luxuriously upholstered; the bronzes on the mantel and in niches and comers—bronzes that told old stories of my thology; the engravings on (he wall; the little gems in oil selected for their wonderful coloring— an autumn Beene, a burning ahio, a group of German peasants; the glowing fire of sea-coal and the polished hearth and fender —all appealed to the love of tho beautiful aad the picturesque, while the cold, unceas ing rain, the bore, gaunt trees, dripping shrubbery and the blanched grass, drove the thoughts within for solace and amuse ment. Ji’lie inkstand that Mag Hastings referred to was a pretty afiiir in Swiss carving. It rep resented two little peasants carrying water, the buckets suspended from a pole resting in a hand of each. Of coarse the water pails were the ink recentades.and the pole was the pen rack. It was poetie and realistic at the same time, and os pretty a trifle for a library tablo as one would wish to see. “ The story is a sad one, Mag,” said I, “ it will give you the blues for the rest of the day.” “ So much the better,” she answerd, with a truo dramatic love of the horrible—“so much tho better. I’d like to be stirred up a little. I fear I’m too comfortable. A little dash of imaginative sorrow is needed to re lieve this perfect enjoymeuL A little shade throws out the good points of anything, you know. Isn’t it so, pet?" and she pinched the little appendage dignified by the came of a tail till a sharp yelp came out of the soft white mass in her arms. “ There, I told you so, pet; nowydu'll know what true repose is.” “I should scold you, Msg,” said I, “if it were the least use in tho world, but you ere inco rigihlc; sol will goon. Time will give you shadow enough, without doubt." “When I was In Venice—f I commenced, in Venice I ” exclaimed Mag, Bitting holt upright, and giving the little dumpling of a poodle a push that brought out a most spirited yelp. “When wore you ever in Venice?” “Why, you knew, Mag, that I was abroad more than two years. In fact, I had just re turned when you and I became acquainted,” I replied, wondering a little at tho unusual interest she appeared to take in the com mencement of my story, “Oil, I know that," she replied. “But I never heard you say anything aoout Venice;’’ again reclining ana closing her eyes, as much us to say, "Go on.

I have brought an invalid home with me, and if I can I shall persuade him to remain a while with us. 1 have taken a strange fancy to the fellow, and should like to have him where wt could take a little care of him. He will certainly die if somebody don’t take an interest in him.' Bo I hurried around, and after a little Pedro and I—’’ “Oh, never mind about the lunch!" inter rupted Mag again, without opening her eyes, and with a little tremolo in nor voice, which I could not understand. “ Proceed with the man! .

Those who reason in thla way find themselves under the necessity of walking by faith in the ordinary business life. If yon are a merchant and wish to buy a bill of goods in London or Paris you will find that you cannot do it wiihout faith.

Here fa faith in the banker. Then you send this order to London. . You confide the funds to your agent there. Here fa another act of faith. The goods j ou pur chase must be transported. This implies your faith in the vessel and its commander, or have insured, and then this implies faith in the insurance office, fince more: When you receive yoqr goods you sell to your customers ou a credit of thirty, forty or nipet; (fays, ana this implies faith in you* patrons.

The entire commercial world .docs business by faith; Take this away, and you produce a panic which reduces multitudes to bank ruptcy and ruin. So men most cultivate the earth by faith.

Every one of us finds himself crossed by such failings of others from hour to hour; and if we were to present them all, or even notice all, it would be intolerable. If for every outburst of hasty temper, and every rudeness that wounds us in onr daily path, we were to demand an apology, require an explanation, or resent it hy retaliation, daily intercourse would be impossiMe. The very science of social life consists in that gliding fact which avoids cor tact with the sharp an gularities of character, which d«« not seek to adjust or care them all, Put covers them aa if it did not sea $o a Christian spirit throws a cloak over these tilings. It knows when it fa wise not to see. That microscopic dtoj tinctnees In which all fruits appear to cap : tious men who are forever blaming, dissent ing, complaining—disappears in the large, calm gaze of love. And oh, it fa this spirit which onr Christian society lacks, and which we shall never get till each one begins with his own heart, The Book of Proverbs —If wish to find a system of ethics better than all the “Poor Richards” for practical use, and better in theory than all ibe books o! casuistry studied in the schools, read the Book of Proverbs. It is a wonderful book. It fa full of common sense. It fa discriminating and yet downright It hits the nail squarely every time. As a means of success in bus - ness, ss a nade meeum in our intercourse with men, good and bad, sluggish and excitable, cunning and Eimple, with men of a!' sorts in all states, with all characters, there fa nothing in literature which equals it or even resem bles it I advise you to make it a rule of your life to read two verses in Proverbs be fore commencing the work of each day. If you would like to have the. name of never doing a foolish thing, or using a foolish argu ment, or uttering a foolish opinion, study the Proverbs of Solomon till the spirit has pen etrated to the very marrow of your daily life. Men will strive after what seems to them happiness; and to raise the ideal ol in dividual happiness, to make men really love better things, is tbe object at which we are directly to aim, If we would benefit and save onr country.—Prof. Whltneg.

Holden are firm at outside rates, aud an advance' seems to be indicated. An increase in tbe supply of grain has met the pressing demand experienced a week or two ago. And prices are settling down ta old rates. The growing scarcity of wheat, and the consequent difficulty of obtaining a supply of flour, has caused an advance on the higher grades. At present, the demand is largely in excess of supply. This tactmay keep corn at the present, or even cany It to higher figures. But little com could now bo placed at inside rates. Domestics are in fair demand; held very firmly, with prices stiffening, but not quotably higher. Yams have advanc- d 5c. per flvo- pound bundle.
