Gooi) Advice.—Now is the time
of year for Pheumonia, Lung Fever,
Ac. Every family should have a
bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup.
Don’t allow for one moment that
cough to take hold of your child,
our family or yourself. Consump
tion, Asthma, Pheumonia, Croup,
Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases
may set in. Although it is true
German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is
much better to have it at hand when
three doses will cure you. One Bot
tle will last your whole family a win
ter and keep you safe from danger.
If you are consumptive, do not vest
until you have tried this remedy.

Tlie Seoond Day of May.
The committee has decided upon
Wednesday afternoon, the second
day of May, as "The Childrens’ Day,’’
and we want every child in the city
to feel that it is an occasion set apart
for their especial benefit, and if they
are good, obedient little boys and
girls from now until the second day
of May, then they are to he dressed
up nice and clean and sent to the
campus, where they will hear nice
music, have a little lunch and lots of
fun. All children must come hy
some one of the churches and fail into
line, so that a long procession can be
funned, and we can see how many
little children there are in town.
Death ot Air. Wm. Clark;. -|
After an illness of three months,;
this voting gentleman died at his fath
er’s residence, in this city, last Satur
day morning. He was warm hearted
and generous to his friends, a loving
brother, and the idol of his aged father
and mother. His funeral was preached
by the Rev. Mr. Lane Sunday even
ing, and his remains were followed to
their last resting place hy his lovin
relatives and a numerous throng ci
sorrowing friends.
Death of Joshun Dot>le.
This gentleman died at Crawford,
after a long and painful illness, on the
till inst. The deceased spent his
youthful years in this city, and was
well known to our citizens. He
leaves a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. A short
time before his death, he embraced
religion and joined the church. As
his winged spirit took flight, let us
hope “ that he crossed over the river
and rested under the shade of the
trees.”

A. E. Griffith,
Chairman Ex. Com.
Houtlicrn Dental Association
We arc indebted to our friend Dr.
II. A. Low ranee for the fo'lowing
particulars of the convention of the
above named society, which convened
at the hall of the Medical and Surgi
cal Society of Montgomery, A'a., on
the 11th April. The President being
absent, Dr. W. G. Redman was ap
pointed President pro. tent., and Dr.
E. S. Chisolm, of Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
Vice-President. The representation
from Georgia, Alabama and Tenues
see was very good indeed. Many
subjects of interest to tflfe profession
were presented and warmly discussed,
the most prominent of which was the
relative merits of cohesive and non-
cohesive gold as a filling for teeth,
| and the subject of transplanting and j
j replanting teeth. The conclusion ar-
\ rived at in the discussion of the for
mer subject was that the non cohesive
or soft fo 1 was preferable as a filling.
The latter subject was warmly dis-
cussed and many valuable ideas were
given by the various members of the
association. On account of the busy
season, the time of year on which the
association has formerly met, has been
changed to the last Tuesday in July,
on which day in 1878, the association
will meet in Atlanta, Ga. There are
marked indications of increasing in
terest in the association and a large
attendance is looked for at the next
convention The following named
gentleman were elected to fill the va
rious offices for the ensuing year.
President—T. J. Cobh, of Nash-
[ For The Georgian.]
Mr. Editor: It is of the most
vital importance to our grand old
commonwealth, that our wisest and
best men should he sent to our ap
proaching State convention.
The new constitution shotld now
more fully than ever illustrate onr
State motto of “ Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation.” Whilst fully recogniz
ing the great moral and intellectual
worth of those gentlemen whose
names have already b<en mentioned
in this connection and not know i ig
whether they would nr would not ac
cept, permit me to suggest the names
of General W. M Browne and Howell
Cobh as suitable delegates to our
State convention. The great ability
of the latter as a lawyer and his many
virtues as a citizen, hath long endeared
him to our people. Of the former, his
great experience in political life, his
high character, his scholarly attain
ments, his intimate knowledge of
constitutional law, and last hut not
least, his high position as a professor
in the University of Georgia, all point j
to him as one eminently suited for
the position above indicated.
The English universities are repre
sented in the Brittish Parliamen’.
Why should not the university of Geor
gia have a voice in a constitutional con
vention, whose deliberations will
he of such vital importance to the
future of onr state ? One of our dele
gates would represent Athens and
Clarke county, the other, the Uni
versity of Georgia and the cause ofed*
ucaticn throughout the State.
