the open window near by for the
purpose of throwing herself to the

Pleasant liidye,
Mr. Geo. H. Davis, formerly of
Butler, now merchandising at the
above named place ou Cedar creek
1 spent a few days in town last week;
he reports crops rather backward
on account of heavy rains and re-
cent frosts. The grab crop in his
community is very good. He is a
clever gentleman, and with the
assistance of Mr. Calve Turner, is
doing a good business. The citi
zens will do well to patrouize them.
Personal,
Mrs. R. 8. Welch, who has
been on a visit to her daughter
Mrs. Carson for a few months past,
has now returned to Atlanta. She
is a noble Christian lady; and those
who were fortunate in associating
with her while here will miss her
sadly, as her cheerful countenance
always had a good effect on those
around her. We trust she Will

Mr, If, C, Holbrook.
This most estimable gentleman who
has been confined to his bed for sever
al months past, left town last Friday
iu company with his brother, and els
dest daughter Mits Ina, for East Liv
erpool, Massachusetts. At the depot
there were gathered many warm and
hympathetiefriends who regretted to see
him leave, in his very feeble condition.
The best wishes of his many friends
are entertained for his recovery.
Colored Sunday School Plc-nic•
On last Saturday the colored Bap
tist Sunday school celebration took
place at the fish pond below the color
ed Baptist church. A neat stand and
other necessary arrangement were pre
pared upon the bill-side, and in the
forenoon very appropriate addresses
were made by Messrs. Oarson, Russ,
Griffith and Jenking. About one
o’clock a very nice dinner was spreadi
and every one passed the time very
leasant. In the afternoon Rev. J. fc.
Searcy made a short address. The chil
dren acted with credit to themselves
by their merry songs and little speech
es. Altogether the entire people pasa-
the day very pleasantly. The com
mittee, composed of Weeden Williams,
Richard McCrary, Nathan Corbin, Ro-
lin Johnson and Solomon Baldwin,
Superintendent, acted their parts very
well indeed, and the best of order was
ob erved. There are in attendance at
this school about one hundred and
twenty-eight members. Wo are request
ed by the colored people to igtt

anoc and assistance iu
not restrain their tears or pity
Cox used all his power to calm her
and finally soothed her gtief, until
only her deep moans broke upon
he solemn stillness.
Judge Hillyer sentenced Cox to
be confined in the penitentiary, or
such other place as the Governor
may direct, at hard labor fur and
during his natural life. Gen. Qar-
trell gave notice that the defense
would make motion for a new trial
and praying a writ of supercedas
The execution of sentence was
therefore stayed twenty days.
Thin penalty is virtually the ex
treme of the law in this 8tute, as
a law passed with Alston’s aid at
the last session of the legisla
ture, giving juries the right to
recommend the life imprisonment
in all cases of murder as they see
fit, in effect abolishes the death
penalty, Cox is the first man con •
victed of murder, who secures the
benefit of that law. The verdict
was received with geueral approval.
Many Thanks,
We return thanks to Mr. J. H. Es-
till, and superintendents of the South
Western, Central and Western A At
lantic railroads, for a free ticket over
these roads to attend the meeting of the

A Dangerous Torpor.
Torpor of inactivity of the kidneys
is seriously dangerous to those organs,
sines it is tho precedent of diseases
which destroy their substance and en
danger life. This sluggishness may be
come by stimulating them, not ex
cessively, but moderately, an effect
produced by Hostetler’s Stomach Bit
ters, a geueral iuvigorant, and altera
tive, possessing diuretic properties of
no common order. The impetus which
this admirable medicine gives to their
evacuative function counteracts any
tendency to congestion which may ex
ist in their tissues. Both they and
their associate organ, the bladder, art
invigorated as well as gently stimulat
ed by the Bitters, which exerts a kin*
dred influence upon the stomach, liver
and bowels, and by strengthening the
system, enables it to withstand materi
al epidemics, to which when exposed it
might otherwise succumb.
