I liave used many other kinds of medicines without any effect. I had just about given her up, was out of heart, but happened in the store of W. W. Eckler sev eral weeks since, and he, knowing of my daughter's affliction, persuaded me to buy a bottle of your Female Regulator. Site be gan to improve at once I was so delighted with Hi effect that I bought several more bottles. The price, sl. 50 a bottle, seemed to be very high at first, hut now I think it the cheapest preparation on the globe; and, knowing what I do about it, if to day one of my family was suffering with.that awful disease, I would liave it if it cost SSO a bottle, for I can truthfully say it lias cured my daugter spnd and well, and myself and wife do most heartily recommend your Fe male Regulator- to be just what is recoal mended to be, Respectfully, 11.

DEVOTED TO THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE. GREENESBORO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 23,1883. SELECTED POETRY. WHY? I did not love him long ago, Instead ot “yes” I gave him “no." I did not love him, but to day I read his marriage notice. Pray, Why was I sad, when never yet Has my heart knowu the least regret Over that whispered “no?” And why, Reading the notice, did I sigh? No analyst can guess the cauie: A woman’s reason laughs at laws. Sure I am glad to know tlie wound I gave is healed—that he has found Love’s blessedness and peace, and yet A woman never can forget The man who once has loved him, and To-day I seem to see him staml, With every glance a mute caress, Still pleading.for the longed-for “yes.” His early love for me is dead— Another lives in that love’s stead! And if he loves her well* as men Should love tlieir chosen ones, why then, He must be glad that, long ago, Instead of “yes” I gave him “no.” Perhaps tiiat is tlie reason why I mad Ihe notice witli a sigh.

JUDGE CRAWFORD SPEAKS, DECLINING, FOB TO EN TER THE Gt RlflN./iOmaL RACE. Tbo Columbus Enquirer-Sun, a few days ago, contained the fellow ing letter from Judge Martin J. Crawford: To the Enquirer-Sun—lt would be uncaudid in me not to say that it was my intention to resigu my position on the bench and to sub mit may name squarely to the con vention soon to assemble, as a can didate for the office of? Governor, but the unfinished business of the last term in which Judge Speer presided with us forbids my resign ation and tbe leaving one Judge only of those then on the bench to dispose of the cases. And so, too, of the railroad tax cases in which the Chief Justice, was disqualified and Judge Branham of the circuit bench was appointed to preside. To leave unfinished work would be a neglect of duty, and to become a candidate being still in office is in consistent with ray views. Al though these cases could be dis posed of before the assembling of the convention,' yet to become a candidate without resigning, even for these good reasons, would af ford opportunity for it being said that this was but a subterfuge to wait and see the result, that I might be sure of the one or the other of the offices. I therefore say to the public, to whom I am indebted for many honorable and distinguished positions, that I am not a candidate for the nomination soon to be made. Martin J. Crawford. This is a manly, frank and alto gether admirable expression of Judge Crawford's wishes and de termination relative to the pending canvass for the nomination for Governor. Nothing is left to infer* ence or construction—all is plainly, briefly told. He really desires to serve the people as their chief ex ecutive, but will not solicit the of fice while he remains upon the bench. He cannot resign because of the peculiar condition of the court, and therefore he is not a candidate for the nomination. Be fore the convention meets, howev er, every impediment to his candi dacy for the office will be removed, and though he distinctly savs and means that he is restrained by cir cumstances from seeking the nom ination, there is uothing said or meant that can prevent his accep tance of it if tendered. And, real ly, the public good does not require that any man should do more than make known his willingness to serve. Everything done beyond this is for self, not country, lanta Journal. , ■ —Every saint is God’s temple aud he who carries about with him his temple may go to prayer when ho pleaseth. JAMES S. BOYNTON. IA SHORT SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND PO LITICAL CAREER. James Stoddard Boynton was horn in Henry county, Ga., May 7, 1 1833. His father, Elijah S. Boj’utou, ' was a native of Vermont, but came South when a young man and was | one of the pioneers of Henry coun ty. He had eleven children. James being his seveuth son. His pa rents were well to do, but never attaiued wealth. His early school ing wuß obtained at the old field school. Despite his limited op portunities, yoivig Boynton’s active mind ">U rated (or knovWedge. It ; Wlis his Cherished purpose*, to adopt j the profess on of a soldier, and lie indulged the hope of entering at ; West .Point. At sixteen he was sent to the school of Rev. W. A.' Rogers. In November 1846, he lost his father, who left him a bun- 1 died acres of land undone slave.] His guardian died not long-after wards, but with the consent of his successor, be set out to eqfer the military academv at Marietta. He was voting and innocent, and was victi mined by a sharper, who per suaded him to go to Rome, fleeced him of greater portion of hi& 1110 ney and left him friendless. He ! went’ to Cave Spring, where he at tended Hearne s school. He re- [ Brained there while his means per- ] initted, but was oomplelled to be-1 think himself of gaining a liveli hood. He returned to Henry copn j ty, and on invitation of L. T. Dovnl, j a leading lawyer of McDonough, he 1 beoame a student of law in that ■gentlemen's office. Ho was admitted to tho bar after seven weeks of thorough study, receiving tbe congratulations of Judge Stark and Ihe eutiro bar. He forthwith removed to Monticel lo, Jasper county, and in December, 1852, married Miss Fannie Loyall, of that town. Mr. Boynton con tinued to reside at Monticello till January, 1858, when he removed, to Julia n, Butts, county, where he former a partnership with Col. Jits. R. Lyons, and rose rsJjidly in his profession. In January, 1860, lie was elected Ordinary of the county* defeating a popular rival, the candidate of the majority party in the county. When the trump of war sounded Mr. Boyntcn promptly responded and entered the thirtieth Georgia Regiment as a private. On the re-organization of the regiment in 1802, Private Boynton was eleteted Major, and proved himself a gullaut and efficient officer. His regiment served at Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and Pocataligo, but in May, 1863, was ordered to Jackson, Miss., serving in the campaign in that State, and later joined the army at Chicamanga. Major Boyu ton and his Colonel, J. H. Maugum, had been complimented on the evacuation of Jackson by Gen. Walker, for gallantry. The regi ment was in the heat of the fight and lost more than half its roster. Col. Mangum was permanently disable by a wound received in the fight, and Major Boynton became commander of the regiment. The Thirtieth Georgia was thencefor ward at Missionary Ridge, Dalton, in the retreat to Atlanta, and in the battles around that city', Col. Boynton always leading it into action. He was shot down while in advance of his men in the battle of Decatur, July 22,1864. In Feb ruary, 1865, he rejoined his com mand on his crutches, and remain ed with it till it was disbanded. He had removed his family to Griffin iu 1863, where, after the war, ho resumed the practice of law. In 1866 he was erected Judge of Splading County Court, which position he filled with ability till the court was abolished. He was also for three years Mayor of Griffin. In 1877 his devoted wife died, and ho is stiil a widower. Two sons were born to the happy pair. These are still living, the youngest of whom is in Texas. In 1880 Col. Boynton was elect ed to the State Senate from the Twenty-six district, of which be was chosen President. He was re-elected a Senator in 1882, and again chosen President of the Sen ate, becoming under the provision of the Constitution, Governor of his State by virtue of his office, filling the interregnum caused by the death of our late venerated Chief Magistrate. Acting Governor Boynton is of Scotch descent. He is a consistent member of the Missionary Baptist Church. A selfinade man, a law yer of recognizied ability, very popular, eloquent; a strikiug type of manhood, being six feet three inches in heighth and splendidly proportioned,' he is, physically, the antetype of the dead Executive, but like him rose by the force of his will aDd the power of his mind. The son of a carpenter, he has become the chief magistrate of the Empire State of the South. THE BETROTHAL. Oh for one hour of such enchanted light ! As made a fairer daytime in the sky, When on the willow bank we sat that night, My old-lime love and I ! Awhile we talked so low and tenderly. We felt the listening trees above us lean; ] And louder far the silence seemed to me That fell at last between. ; Her heart lay floating on its quiet thoughts, Like water lilies on a tranquil lake; ' And love within, unkuown, because un sought, Lay dreaming half awake. Alt, love is the lightest sleeper ever known! A whisper, and lie started plain to view; Old as the heavens seemed our story grown, While yet tlie moon was new. And when she spoke, her answer seemed tlie while Sweeter for sweetness of the lips that told, | Setting a precious word within a smile— A diamond ringed with gold. kffpomed far us the perfect ccnsupy LlJriierr*'ff&a the Cun and overran tin: brim: i And nil the stars, processional, that hour, i. Chanted a bridul hymn. ; All, Tune, all iafter days may ll}' away, | Such joy as that hast but once to give, I And love is royal front bis crowning day, j Though kingdontless be live. “Where are the -Nine?” In a recent report of the Young Men’s Christian Association, of Brooklyn, we find the following statement: “Less than oue-tentli of our young men are in the chur ches and Sunday-schools. This j statement is made after tho most I careful investigation.” A sad state ment it indeed is. And what is I true of Brooklyn, the “City of | Churches,” is probably true also |of New York, Chicago, St. Louis, ] and the great cities of our land gen | erally. ] Our y oung men*aro the hope of ] the nation. From their ranks are ito come our rulers, and the occti | pants of all important positions, j both in Church aud State. They I | are soon to become heads of farai- j lies, to train, in large measure, the j generation that is to succeed. And ! how? aud for what? In view ’of ( these things, well may we ask with deep solicitude, “Whero are the nine ?” It is easy to say where they ought to be. They ought to be, with the small minority of their j number, from Sabbath to Sabbath ! in the churches of tho liviug God, i aud in the Sunday-school, fitting j .or the responsible,, stations which they ai'6 soon to* ~occupy. But, alas! they are not there. They seldom, o#fever, enter tlib doors tyf the sanctuary. And where are they s ' Tbe same report from which we have quoted also states that: “In the city there are 2,567 licen- j sed liquor-saloons and 491 licensed j billiard aud pool tables, besides! hundreds of places where gambling and other vices are indulged iu. The vast majority of the patrons are young men.” Here they con gregrate, rather than iu the house of God. And what is tho result ? We quote Again from the report: ‘‘ln one of our largest State pris ons two-thirds of its inmates are men, and two-thirds of these are under twenty-six years of age.” Neglecting the house of God, turning away their ear from hear ing instruction, and putting them selves under demoralizing influen ces, they become corrupted, and large numbers of them become cur ses, instead of blessings to society. Girls, Learn to Cook.—Ye a , yes, learn how to cook, girls, and learn how to cook well. What right lias a girl to marry and go iuto a bouse of her own unless she knows how to superintend ev ery branch of housekeeping, and she cannot properly superintend uuless she has some practical knowledge herself. It is some times asked, sueeringly, ‘‘What kind of a man is he who would marry a cook ?” The fact is that meu do not think enough of this; indeed, most men marry without thinking whether the woman of his choice is capable of cooking him a meal, and it is a pitj he is so short sighted, as his health, his cheerful ness, and, indeed, his success in life, depend in a very great, degree on the kind of food he eats; in fact, the whole household is influenced by the diet. Feed them on fried cakes, fried meats, hot bread and other indigestible viands, day- after day, and they will need medicines to make them well. Let all girls liaye a share in housekeeping at home before they marry; let each superintend some department bv turns. It need not occupy half the time to see that the house has been properly swept, dusted, and put in order, to pre pare puddings and make dishes, that many young ladies spend in reading novels which enervate both mind and body and uufit them for every day life. Women do not, as a general rule, get pale faces doing housework. Their sedentary hab its, in overheated rooms, combined with ill chosen food, are to blame for bad health. Our mothers used to pride themselves on their house keeping and fine needlework. Let the present generation add to its i list of real accomplishments tlie ' art of properly preparing food for the human body.—Sob TERMS OO per Amituti, in Advance. WHOLE NUMBER 512. Tlie Break of Day. Mrs. Mary Bryan, of the “Sunny South,” in an article on Mr. Stepli | ens’ death savs : Ho died just as the day was breaking. It was the hour he had lately said he looked for death to come. Once, this winter, a friend j took him some flowers. In the con versation that ensured, he spoke of Henry Timrod’s poems—of that saddest, sweetest one—his favorite —called, “A Common Thought,” the poem poor Timrod had whis pered with husky lips just before he died. Mr. Stephens repeated ■ it almost in full: i Somewhere on this earthly planet, In the dust pi Bowers to be— ] In the dewdfnfjAtmf the sntislifnc,' Waits a solemn hour for me. - At tbe wakeful hour of midnight, I behold it dawn in mist; And I hear a sound of sobbing Through the darkness—hist! oh hist! In n dim and murky chamber, I am breathing life away; Someone draws a curtain softly. And I watch the broa Tiling day. As it purples in the zenith, As it brightens on the lawn, There’s a hush of death about me, And a whisper, “He is gone.” “I have always thought I should die at day break,” he went on. “Most people die between mid night aud dawn. Physicians say that the life-forces are (hen at the lowest ebb—the pulse at its lowest beat.” He did die at that hour. AH i through his illness he had beeu un luble to sleep. Morphine brought j stupor but not rest. Late that 'last evening the three physicians consulted and decided to adminis ter a powerful hypnotic. But they discovered that a more potent sleep-compeller was close at hand. The Angel of Rest was hovering over the tired sufferer; and at last *“Tlic quiet eye lids closed, lie hud Another morn than ours." Tstliuagc on Stephens. He was one of the few men, who like James Lenox, of New York, could stay outside of the marriage relation and yet become more gen erous and genial as the yeais went by. His heart was largo enough ; for the whole world to enter. Only eighty pounds of physical weight at any moment the last forty years, the possibility was that through the insufficient bars of flesh flu spirit might fly away. Though he lived iu stormy times be was a champion of peace—the very last man in his State to surrender to the decree of secession, crying out for compro mise, counseling amity. Had there been ten sneb meu at the South, and teu such meu at the North, the grave trenches would never have been dug. Wlmt an example to all ages as to what invalidism may ac complish is this one emaciated man now departed ! Why give up tho battle of life because some of your weapons are captured? Look out for the soldier’s crutch and the old man’s staff if they be wielded for patriotism or Christianity. It is not the number of guns we carry, but the way wo unlimber them. More than ever am I impressed with the fact that the soul is distinct from the body. That man was a fool who thought that the puny creature in the invalid’s chair was Alexander H. Stephens. It was only the shell. Away with agnostip.- talk about the soul being only-the development of the holy ! No, Al exander H. Stephens lives. Ho widens out iuto grander existence. Never was there a grander lesson of immortality. So much soul and so little body. What a relief it must' be to get out of a cri| pie’s vehicle! Wiug instead of crutch! Health instead of sickness! Rapture in-... stead of pain ! Heaven instead of, earth ! lain glad for this addi tional evidence that Christianity is . not au imbecile fabrication, If it had been a sham Alexander H, Ste- . phems was tlie man to find it out. - ' - ■ ■ - - —An encouraging evidence of' the material progress of South Carolina, says the New's and Cou rier, is the attention the farmers are giving tp the raising of improv ed cattle. There are now at least; four flourishing stock farms in tbq State, and In nearly every county there are many fine specimens of registered cattle of royal pedigree.' At the last State Fair there was a larger display of fine stock than has ever before been collected in Sonth Carolina, and the countv papers report the frequent purchase of the best breeds of cattle. This im provement may be attributed tq the adoptiou of the general Stock’ the necessity which has beeu forced upon the planters of keepiug fewer cattle.
