Legal Advertising.
The rates lor legal advertising
willdiereafter be charged by the
Journal, in conform.y with the fol
lowing law, passed by the late leg
islature.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
general assembly of the state of
Geoigia, and it is hereby enacted
by authority ot the same, That from
and after the passage of this act the
rates to be allowed to publisher lor
publishing the legal advertisements
in this state shall be as follows: For
each one hundred words, seventy
five cents for insertion for the
dkst.foifr insertions/ for each sub
sequent insertion the sum of thirty
live cents per hundred words. In
all cases fractional parts shall bo
charged tor at the sai o rates, and
it shall not be lawful or any ordi..
nary, sheriff, cotoner, clerk, marshal
or other officer to receive or collect
from parties, plaintiff or defendant,
other or greater rates than herein
set forth.
Section 2. Be it futher enacted by
the authority aforesaid, and it is
hereby enacted by the , authority of
the same. That any ordinary, sheriff,
coroner, clerk, marshal or other of
ficer who shall receive, collect or

this act shall be deemed guilty of
extortion and upon conviction there

section 4310 of the revised code.

The Atlanta Constitution explains
that Renfroe was guilty of a viola
tion of the law, but not guilty of an
intention to violate it. Nevertheless
the people will be glad to excuse
Mr. Itentroe from further service at
the earliest opportunity.

A correspondent of the Gaines.,
ville Eagle tells how to construct, a
perpetual motion machine. The
man who hasn’t a plan for making
a machine of this sort has never
been called by his neighbors an in
ventive genius. The great difficul
ty is in the practice, rather than the
theory.
The Georgia Ediiors are unani
mous in pronouncing Estill’s tree
lunch one of the pleasantest episodes
el the Jasper Centennial. Colonel
Jonet, of the Macon Telegraph was
of the opinion that the spread was
as elegant as the military display,
and Corparal Mumford, of theTal
botton Standard thinks the viands
wore certainly as palatable as some
parts of Gordon’s speech.
One of the worst acts of the late
legislative assembly was the passage
of a usury law, making any rate of
interest more than eight per cent,
illegal. The law is not founded on
justice, and we can seb no good to
result from it. Our Solons stopped
short of their object. They ought
to have gone further and made it a
penal offence for the money lender
to decline to lend to any one who
wished to borrow. What benefit is
to accrue to us who are afoot, by a
law forbidding livery stable men to
ask more than fctwenty~five cents a
day for their best turnout", if the
law does not also require them to
keep teams enough to supply the
demand ? The law of' supply and
demand regulates the price of mon
ey, as it does other property, and
all legislative enactments wnich are
designed to subvert this law will
serve only to thwart the purposes
' for which they were enacted,
SIR A Y EL HO W SHOTS,
As Caught on the Ely.

heart have been quite cool for
several days. A change is very dou
sirable.
—The attention of our readers is

be followed by a freeze the top crop
cannot possibly mature. Birt “it is

farmers get just as much money

Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from
practice, having had placed in his
hands by an East India missionary
the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and perma
nent cure for Consumption, Bron
chitis, Catatrb, Asthma, and all
Throat and Lung Affections, also a
positive and radical cure for Nerv
ous Debility and all Nervous com
plaints, after having tested its won
derful curative powers in thousands
of cases, has felt it his duty to make
it known to his suffering fellows.
Acuated by this motive and a desire
to relieve human suffering, I will
send free of charge to all who desire
it, this receipt, in German, French,
or English, with full direction for
preparing and using. Sent by mail
by addressing with stamp, naming
