Cutting Out a Nerve to Cure Neuralgia.
For several years, Judge Bay, of this city,
has been a great sufferer from facial neural
gia, and to avail himself of any benefit that
might possibly result fron a change of cli
mate, spent most of 1873 in California and
the last part of 1874 in Colorado, without any
material benefit, and on his return from Col
orado, Dr. llodgen cut out a little over one
half inch of the fifth facial nerve, and for sev
en or eight months the judge experienced en
tire relief from the disease, but at the expi
ration of that time it gradually returned upon
Him with increased severity, until life was al
most unbearable. Dr. Ilodgen became satis
fled tlrnt the separate parts of the nerve hud
iWiifccr?,- and he determined to perform a sec
ond operation and on the 7th inst., at the
residence of Judge Bay, 3,220 Chestnut street,
and in the presence of several medical gentle
men, cut out two inches -in the nerve, and re
moved several collateral branches. The op
eration lasted fifteen minutes, was exceeding
ly painful, and, although the judge declined
k take chloroform or any opiate, he stood the
knife without flinching. This operation has
been very rarely performed in the west, and
from the proximity of the nerve to the eye re
quires great care and much skill. The judge
has had no return ot the neuralgic pains, and
all the indications are that the operation will
prove eminently successful, though it will be a
week before he will be able to leave his house.
—St. Louis Rejatblican.
Does the young man who persists in being
a loafer, ever reflect how much less it would
cost to be a decent, respectable man ? Any
body can be a gentleman if he chooses to be,
but it is mighty expensive being a loafer.—
It costs time—daj’s, months, j r ears of it. It
costs friends, \ our consorts will be only the
buccaneers of society. It costs health, vigor,
comfort—all true pleasure in living, honor,
dignity, self-respect and the respect of the
world when living, and finally all regret and
consideration when dead.
General Gordon His Own Successor.
It seems to be almost the universal wisli
of Georgians, that Gen. Gordon shall serve
them a second time in the United Stales Sen
ate. We were among the first to endorse his
admirably conservative course, and we are
glad to know that his labors are so highly
appreciated by our people.
Erzroum and Plevna.
All the interest of the Eastern war seems,
just now, to he centering around Erzroum in
Asia, and Plevna in Europe. Both places
are closely invested, according to late ac
counts ; and it is thought that both will fall
into the hands of the Russians. The capture
of Plevna is regarded as only a question of
time. Chevket Pasha has made two or three
unsuccessful efforts to relieve the beleaguer
ed place. The Russians arc making earnest
efforts to get south of the Balkans before se
vere winter sets in. In Asia also, they are
pressing all their resources to capture Erz
nnun for winter quarters. Late telegrams
bring us the news that they moved on the
place a few days since, but they were driven
back by the Turks with heav3 r loss. If that
town can be taken, the war will be compara
tively open to Stamboul, with no strong strat
egic points to check fheir advance. It is
thought in St. Petersburg that the war may
possibly be closed before the end of the year.
The terms of peace arc being discussed not
only at that capital, but also in London.
If the two invested places above mention
ed, should succumb to the Russian forces, it
is thought that the Czar will entertain terms
of a settlement, and, that the Porte will be
more than ready to accept any honorable con
ditions. Wc earnestly hope that such may
be the result; for the world has been long
enough vexed with a war in which blunders
have been the rule, and thousands of valua
ble lives and untold misery have been the re
sult.
Congress.
Not much of importance has transpired.—
The House lias passed the Silver and Army
Bills, and the former has gone to the Senate ;
and the committee propose an amendment
which will materially modify the bill. No re
sult reached. A late report brings the news
that the Army Bill has also passed the Sen
ate. Colliding, with a considerable following.
CV
is bitterly opposing the President's policy.—
His course has created a serious split in the
Republican party, mil the Southern appoint
ments of the President, which have been
staved o(f by the Colliding faction, will pro
bably lie now confirmed by the union of Dem
ocrats and administration Republicans.
The Capital Question.
On the fourth page of this issue will be
found some important facts connected with
this subject. In our next, we shall publish
an admirable, and unanswerable letter from
Gen. Toombs in favor of Atlanta. Also an
article showing the effect of removal from At
lanta, on the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
together with other important facts. There
will be a large number of extra or sample co
pies sent out this week, as was last, and
friends receiving them will confer a favor in
distributing the same.
Strong Arguments.
On our first page we publish an able arti
cle from the pen of lion. W. M. Reese, of
Washington, wherein he puts forth the ad
vantages offered by Atlanta over Milledge
ville, as a seat of government, so clearly
and understandingly, that we do not. see how
any sane man can vote for removal after its
perusal. It is undeniably a clincher, and un
less Milledgevillc can refute these arguments
(and we cannot sec how she can do it) this
county will vote Atlanta almost solid. Three
weeks ago, Milledgeville would have carried
Oglethorpe three to one, but a great change
has come over our people, and if the enthusi
asm for Atlanta continues to spread like it
has been doing of late, Milledgevillc won't
get three votes within our territory.—o<jle

Paying the Preacher.
A writer, in the last number of the South
ern Christian Advocate, speaking of St.
James church, Augusta, has some wholesome
advice, which is applicable elsewhere than
the city of Augusta:—
Mn. Editor : —The noble resolve of this
Church to pay. what they promised, and fail
ed to pay, to their pastors for 1875 and 1876,
ought to rebuke many a delinquent Church.
Think of the pastors who arc still paying in
terest on. the debts made during those identi
cal years, for meat and bread. Think of it;
out of a six or eight hundred dollar salary,
he fails to get from fifty to a hundred and
fifty dollars. Rich men sometimes hold back
and slitter such tilings; yet, how they scorn a
man who does not pay his debts.
Yes, they cause the Church to lead the way
to repudiation. Justice requires that a
preacher should lie supported. Pay him what
you promise him ; and then, if he fails to pay
his debts, hold him responsible for it. There
is a great wrong in this repudiation by the
Church—wrong to God, to his ministers, to
the Church, and to the world. Stewards and
other members, one and all, should sec to
this matter and see to it in time, too.
One other thought: here is a membership
of three or four hundred. The deficiency is
one hundred dollars. This equally divided
between four hundred would be twenty-five
cents aj piece—and if twenty-five had it to pay
that would only be five dollars each, but
throw it on the preacher alone and it is one
hundred dollars. This, year after year, is a
great burden for him to carry. Let the
Church be the light of the world and let her
light so shine.
Death of Foster Blodgett.
The Atlanta Constitution of the 14th inst.,
brings us news of the death of Foster Blodg
ett, resulting from typhoid fever. lie at one
time gave us much trouble; we would now
say let his faults be buried with him, as he
professed before bis death to have reformed
and to have received the forgiveness of his
God.
IdFTleasant was the call received from
that clever, social gentleman, I)r. Alexander,

CITIZENS’ MEETING.
Grand Rally for Candler—Hall Endorses
Her Candidate for the Senate, and Com
mends Him to the District.
On Tuesday, after Sheriff Gaine9 closed
his sales, the announcement was made that
Hon. A. I). Candler would address the citi
zens in the Court house, and the crowd at
once moved up the steps. The day was too
far spent for forms and ceremonies, and Col.
Candler took the stand without preliminary
or introduction. He proceeded at once to
review his political course in the Legislature,
and his services as a citizen to his town and
his section. At times lie was terribly severe
on his ‘•foul aspersers, infamous tradueers
and villainous assailants;” and when he
reached the climax of eager revenge, literally
tore them to fragments and scattered them
on the dunghill to die and rot of their own
bad odors.
The speech was a thorough vindication of
the speaker’s good name and services from
the charges of his enemies. The charges
against him were handled frankly, boldly,
and with gloves off, and each one was clearly
demonstrated to the audience to be not onlj r
false, but wilfully, maliciously and intention
ally false, lie was frequently applauded,
and no speaker ever received more satisfac
tory evidences of popular endorsement.
In conclusion, Col. Candler stated that, in
response to numerous and urgent solicitations
for the use of his name in the Senatorial
race, he had signified his willingness to serve
the district if his fellow-citizens should see
proper to elect him ; but ho had no disposi
tion to thrust himself upon the voters of the
district as a self-constituted candidate ; that
he respected the wishes and the voice of the
people ; that he had no personal ends to sub
serve ; that he did not intend to make the
race without the endorsement of hi3 fellow
citizens of Hall, and that if they preferred
another man they had but to say so, and he
would retire, lie closed with an earnest re
quest that the citizens then assembled—a
Court house full of them—should then and
there consider his candidac\\ and speak their
will with emphasis. He would abide their
action.
After the storm of applause had subsided,
the following preamble and resolutions were
offered, and unanimously adopted. When
the affirmative vote was taken, the response
was solid and shook the building, and there
was a pause; then the negative was put;
silence reigned a moment, and was broken
by a voice—“he ain’t here.” A hearty laugh
followed thisquaint, but significant announce
ment, and the meeting adjourned with cheers
for Candler.
( AXDLER ENDORSED.
Whereas, It is conceded by the citizens
of Jackson and Banks, the conn! ies political
ly associated with Hall in the 3hi Senatorial
District, that by the rotation system hereto
fore adopted and practiced in the selection of
Senator, the latter is this time entitled to pre
sent n candidate to be vote 1 for by the three
counties; and
Whereas, The lion. Allen D. Candler, a
citizen of Hall, has yielded to the solicitations
of numerous citizens of the District—and es
pecially of his own county—to allow the use
of his name, and has announced his willing
ness to serve the District in the State Senate,
if elected; therefore
Resolved, That we, a large number of the
citizens of Hall county, in public meeting as
sembled. without regard to party custom and
prctermi.tting expression of party principles,
unqualifiedly endorse the candidacy of Hon.
Allen I). Candler for the State Senate, and
pledge him our earnest and undivided suj -
port.
Resolved, That we respect fully appeal to
the citizens of Jackson and Banks counties to
unite wi h us, in all honorable means, to se
cure Col. Candler’s election.
Another Richmond in the Field!
Editor Forest News :—A short time
since, you published an article signe 1 “Voter,”
on the subject of “Legislators from Jackson.”
In that article, the statement w.s made that
A. T. Bennett and G. R. Dike declined to
make the race. In that same issue, appear
ed a card announcing the former gentleman
as a candidate, and now Duke is “in the
field.” I would advise “Voter” to observe
the homely old maxim, “look before j'ou
leap,” for I think he most decidedly “ went
o!T half-cocked.” He also made a sort of call
for candidates; therein, again, “he kicked
before he was spurred” ; for candidates rise
up on all sides, and the land seems as prolific
as that where dragon's teeth were sown of
old. “ Voter” did hit the nail on the head,
though, when he said Bose Duke had been a
“faithful servant,” and that he had “the
thanks of a grateful constituency” ; and what
is still more to the purpose, I think and hope
that constituency will be grateful enough to
send him to the Legislature next time. If
any man has a claim on the good will of the
people, he has. To prove this assertion, on
ly look at his record ! lie has ever battled
manfully for the rights of the people, and to
that end has done more to destroy and break
up rings, combinations and town cliques, than
any other citizen of the county. He has even
“carried the war into Africa” by being one
of the leaders of the “ immortal twenty-eight”
who stood firm for eight days, and voted so
lid, in 140 ballots, for the lion. B. 11. Hill, in
the Gainesville Congressional Convention.
This he did, not as a “disorganizer,” as the
“sore heads” would have us believe, but be
cause he appreciated the wishes of the peo
ple. And the people endorsed his course bv
the overwhelming majority which Hill receiv-
ed —as they have ever endorsed his independ
ent course in his own county. llis motto has
ever been, “The People, not Politicians.” I
for one, am certain to vote for him this time ;
I never have voted for him, before, but in
tend to now. His conduct during the time
lie was not a candidate, has been such as to
attach to him many new friends, in addition
to the host lie already had, and to win over
many who have long been his open and de
clared enemies. Thus he enters the field un
der very advantageous circumstances, and it
is to be hoped that his usual success will
attend him in the race.
“ Voter” spoke in terms of the highest
praise of Col. W. I. Pike, and I am ready to
endorse all lie lias said on that subject, and
think lie would make a good representative;
but Bose 1 uke has been tried, and all except
the “ sore heads” have been more than pleas
ed with his course in office. His aim has
ever been to do the most good for all parts
of the county, lie has striven, and not in
vain—to represent his whole constituency ;
and looking beyond and above petty rings
and cliques, he has stood on the broad basis
of lair, just, impartial and independent repre
sentation. Voters of Jackson, remember
who kept your county intact, and prevented
it from being divided between Banks and
Hall, and who dealt the death blow to the
County Court. Jackson.
A purchaser on being served with ground
coffee at a store, asked : * Are there beans
in this coffee ?’ ‘No, sir,’ answered the clerk.
‘ llow do you know ?’ sneerd the purchaser
‘ Because we ran out of beans Thursday and
had to put peas in instead.’

Did any enfeebled human being ever become
strong under the operation of powerful cathartics
or salivants? It is sometimes necessary to regu
late the bowels, but that cannot be done by active
purgation, which exhausts the vital forces and
serves no good purpose whatever. The only true
way to promote health and vigor, which arc essen
tial to regularity of the organic functions, is to
invigorate, discipline and purify the sy-stem at the
same time. The extraordinary efficacy of Ifostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters, in cases of debility or irre
gularity of the organs of digestion, assimilation,
secretion and discharge, is universally admitted.
Appetite, good digestion, a regular habit of body,
active circulation of the blood, and purity of all
the animal fluids are induced by this Superb tonic
and corrective. It has no equals, moreover, as a
preventive of chills and fever, and other types of
malarial disease. To emigrants and travelers it
is particularly serviceable as a medicinal safe
guard.
