Sad Death in Dooly.
On Wednesday last at her residence
in Snow, Dooly county, Ga., Mrs.
Emma Felder, died of fever. She
was a niece of Capt. C. W. Felder
and Mrs. W. J. Barlow of this city.
A good Christian woman and lovable
in disposition and possessor of all the
qualities of a true and gentle heart.
She leaves two little children bereft
of parental love and care.
If the existence of worms in the in
testines darken the complexion, is it
not reasonable to suppose that their
presence will ruin health? Shriner’s
Indian Vermifuge will destroy and

Small-Pox in Grangerville.
We received the following informa
tion from Grangerville yesterday re
garding this loathsome disease. From
it it will be plain for a thinking man
to see the danger to which we are ex
posed, and it would bo well to take
proper precautions to prevent the
spread of this terrible scourge in our
midst.
Grangerville, Ga., 1
May 4th, 1883. j
C. W. Hancock, Dear Sir:—We
have small-pox in this settlement,
several cases fully developed. Mr.
Green King, a substantial farmer
died near this place day before yes
terdayjivith it. One Capers Barker,
Mrs. Barker and some of the Misses
Barkers’ of your county, have been up
here helping to nurse it, and have re
turned to your county, also a young
man, name unknown, he drove a large
sorrel horse and was in company
with a Miss Barker. To save your
county from the scourge you had bet
ter agitate the question, and have
them quarantined. Yours &c.,
J. A. Kimble.
A Roman Canard.
We find the following item going
the rounds of the State press, as a re
markable feat in type setting: The
Rome Bulletin of Saturday says: “Mr.
Ed Langston, one of the Bulletin com
positors, set up 4,100 eras yesterday
on a wager in one hour and fifty min
utes, which beats the fastest time
on record by 300. Trot up your fast
typos, and let’s hear from you.” We
think the figures would have sounded
better at 400 in one hour and fifty
minutes, and from what we know of
the man Langston, will wager it
would take him an equally long time
to correct his proofsheet. The Bulle
tin man must have been very hard up
for locals to invent this unreasonable
canard.
A Good On.
A gentleman once sold a stove to a
lady living somewhere in proximity
of Americus 1 , and it was kept about
three weeks, when notice was sent to
the dealer that the stove was no ac
count and to send and take it away.
The dealer in hardware, went around
to ascertain the cause of the com
plaint. On examining the stove, he
was amazed to find that the fire had
been built in the oven instead of the
fire-place of the stove. She was very
indignant at the accusation and denied
it; but the ashes, coals and wood were
all silent witnesses and could not be
refuted. She never would have a
stove after that, saying she preferred
the fire-place and of ovens of old
times.
Marriage in Leeton.

The Eighth Wonder ot the World.
We learn that a white lady resides
about seven miles from Americus,
who is a living curiosity in that she
herself, is devoid of that leading trait
in woman, curiosity. She was born
where she now lives, has never seen
Americus, a railroad, circus, nor ex
hibition of any sort, nor has she ever
desired to see any of these things.
She is intelligent, sociable and quite
entertaining. She is an enigma that
puzzles all who know her.
Indulgent parents who allow their
children to eat heartily of high-sea
soned food, rich pies, cake &e., will
have to use Hop Bitters to prevent
indigestion, sleepless nights, sickness,
pain, and perhaps, death. No family
is safe without them in the house.

Excursion to Andersonvillo,
Mr. Editor: The contracted for
picnic came off on the 2nd despite
the contretemps of man, and weather!
Dame nature seemed to do all she
could to intimidate the weak-kneed
and faint hearted, until the morning
of the 2nd when she beamed upon us
with her most bewitching smiles and
bade us to go a Maying “with youth,
hope and pcesy.”
At the appointed hour the young
people repaired to the depot to em
bark for Andersonville. Soon the
signal was given and the train moved
out to the joy of the children, some
of whom, evidently, had never be
fore ridden upon the “iron horse.”
The novelty at first awed them into
stillness, but soon they tentatively
essayed to pass from car to car, “but
children will be children!”
We were met at Andersonville by
a former resident of this city, now a
merchant of Andersonville, who es
corted us to the acropolis of the
“Burg,” which is crowned with a
beautiful grove, where had been ar
ranged tables and seats for the party.
The view from this point is beau
tiful. Stretching out towards the
Southeast lies an undulating land
scape, the slopes being thickly wood
ed, the growth of the last 18 years. Be
tween these hills flows the famous
stream that made glad the hearts of
the Yankee prisoners. This stream
is divided into two heads, one rising
northwest of the depot and the other
west, Andersonville being situated
on a ridge between the streams.
Looking down towards the west the
eye rests upon a lovely vision, nest
ling among the trees in this seques
tered spot stands an edifice of learn
ing, a spot that Academus might
have selected. It is here that Prof.
Clarke sways the birch and holds in
awe embryo wrangling statesmen,
willing to wade through blood to
preferment! Here let us mention en
passant, that we hold ourselves and
our our little ones bound unto Prof.
Clarke for his kinduess in making
seats and tables for our party, and
permitting the children to play upon
his playgrounds. And the aged of the
party are more especially bound unto
the Professor’s good lady for divers
good things, furnished amenities that
made the hours so pleasant, and last
but not least, for the bountiful sup
ply of the aromatic bean —“the cup
that cheers but never inebriates,” for
these kind offices the picnicers will
ever hold her in grateful memory.
From our base of supplies we de
ployed as pleasure and inclination
led, nearly all moving en masse to
wards the National Cemetery, some
1,200 paces Northeast. Hereawaited
us a scene that the pen fails to por
tray, which to be appreciated must
be seen. Lying in close proximity
13,567 dead soldiers each narrow house
marked with a stone, here and there
as rare intervals a stone that rises
above its neighbors, placed there by
loving hands, and not very unfre
quently a lowly stone bearing this
legend “Unknown.” The beautiful
trees, graveled walks and green
sward making a lovely sight almost
persuading one that for such a sepul
cher he might be willing to die—
when he is old, very old! The work
men were erecting two cannon near
the flag staff. They are to be placed
vertical, i. e., the muzzles to point
heavenward, to keep at bay the co
horts of angels, or perchance, to point
the way the soldiers winged their
flight.
“On fames eternal camping ground!
Their silent tents are spread,
While glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead!”
We traversed the stockade, making
the entire circuit, passed among the
three hundred wells, dry wells now,
passed the miraculous fountain (it
was there before) that like Jonas
goaril that springed up in a night.
Much of the stockade has fallen into
decay, some has been removed for
fuel. Avery considerable amount
was charred by fire this spring, yet
there is enough for relic hunters for
sometime to come. Two relic hun
ters left that day with their bundles
of sticks.
A dense forest covers the ground
(thirty acres) where eighteen years
ago stood the stockade, excepting a
few acres on the extreme north and a
few acres on the south side of the
stream which is in cultivation. To
repeople this stockade needs the
prophets wand to quicken our imagi
nation that the dry bones of the val
ley might come together and make
a vast army for our beholding.

wild cat railroads or sinking vessels

The Picnics.
Well, the children after all had a
beautiful day Wednesday for their
picnics. The East Americus school
postponed their excursion to Magnolia
Springs on account of rain, and so
Wednesday the Americus Methodist
Sunday School went to Andersonville,
and the East Americus school to Mag

woman being in one door, and that
of a man, in the other. In fair
weather the woman comes out of her
door, on the approach of storm or rain
the man marches out. Sunday night,
before the late cyclone, it is said the
man came out with a rush and a scar

How to Make Money Farming.
The successful and prosperous farmer
must make every edge cut —he must waste
no money. He should calculate closely and
buy the cheapest. To buy cheap he must
have the cash. If he has not got the cash
then he should get it. This he can do
through me if he is reliable and owns his
farm. I am still negotiating loans for farm
ers secured by mortgage on their farms.
These loans run from 3 to 5 years, and beat
only 8 per cent interest. It is the cheapest
way to borrow money. Of this I can con
vince any intelligent person. It will do no
harm to investigate my plan—it may save
you money— so come and see me and let me
explain it to you. 1 negotiate thousands of
dollars every month for farmers. Call and
see me. F. E. BURKE, Successor to

The Worthless Dogs.
We keep horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs because they aid us in procuring
the necessities and luxuries of life.
Tiio dog crop is never mentioned
when the plans are laid to remove the
mortgage from the farm. The far
mer never shears them or works them
or eats them or obtains any substan
tial benefit from them. It is said that
98 different kinds of vermin and in
sects iufest dogs. The dog is the
dirtiest domestic animal in existence.
A great deal of his vermin is commu
nicated. to the human family, and to
domestic animals. It takes as much
to keep a couple of dogs as it does to
raise and educate a child. Children
are said to suffer from ulcers, sores
and diseases which originated by
their coming in contact with dirty
dogs. Dogs do more damage to other
animals by the vermin and disease
they communicate to them than any
other way. More people die from
dog vermin than from hydrophobia
and not a few meet a horrible death
by being bitten by mad dogs.
The above strong indictment is
from an exchange. Whether it is un
just to the dog, we are not prepared to
say. One thing is certain, dogs are
too numerous, pestiferous and destruc
tive. They should be cur tailed by
taxation and extermination. If dogs
are property, their owners should pay
a tax on them; those, without owners,
prowling abont, should be killed.
Behavior in Church.
There is no sight more pitiable than
that of people who haven’t good
breeding enough to behave in church.
Sad, indeed, must that parent feel
whose daughters or sons goto the sol
emn sanctuary of the Most High to
indulge in levity, and disgusting dis
respect of, not only the listening por
tion of the congregation and of the
minister, but of the Almighty Him
self. Church is the place of all others
where opinion is formed of character
and no man or woman can escape the
severest criticism who disregards the
sacredness of the place and the pro
prieties of conventionalism. If peo
ple can not conform to the conven
tional forms of society when they at
tend church, they have no business to
insult their Master and to contempt
uously disregard the ordinary de
mands of refined society.

Test of Merit.
Success always follows the
general approval of the public,
and the surest test of merit, so
far as a business house is con
cerned, is the unanimous en
dorsement of its patrons. That
this rule aptly applies to J. Wax
elbaum & Cos. is manifested bv
the throng of customers daily
seen at their great Dry Goods,
Carpet, Clothing Boot, Shoe
and Hat Emporium, large num
bers of whom are old friends,
bringing with them acquain
tances to introduce, and all
attracted by the beautiful dis
play of
SPRING GOODS,
and the extremely low prices
attached to them. This magni
ficent exhibition embraces all
conceivable styles and patterns
known to the trade; is beyond
question the most extensive ever
seen in Americus. Certainly a
man cannot go amiss in making
selections, as he has presented
for his inspection the richest as
well as the plainest fabrics of the
very latest fashion, and substan
tial. Amid this great array of
beautiful appearance are two
features of special mention,
namely: All Wool SIO.OO Suit,
which cannot be duplicated else
where for $20.00, and for $5.00
fully equal to anything of like
character sold in most houses

leading features, aDd are attract
ing the attention and exciting
the surprise of the most econ
omical buyers. Remember that
every article sold is guaranteed
to be exactly as represented , and
we are the leaders in Americus.
