CONSUMPTION CURED!

Dr. J. S. Pemberton, Atlanta, Ga.: DkaR Sib—
I have received your circulars, and in consequence
of the distribution, I have sold about six dozen
Globe Flower Syrup in the last two weeks. The
Globe Flower Syrup is gaining great celebrity. 1
recommended it in two cases of consumption. One
case was bed-fail; had not laid on bnt one tide for
two years; hemorrhages almost every day; much
emaciated, and expected to die. He has taken six
bottles of Globe Hower Syrup; bis troubles are
all gone, except prostration, which is rapidly im
proving. He will certainly get well. The other
case is similar, with same good results. I can send
you many testimonials if you want them.
Yours truly, etc., O. JACKET.

Act, a new County shall be and i c ? uuties of this State, and the reg-
the same is hereby laid out from « ,ar terms of the Superior Court
the county of Clarke, as follows:
Beginning at a point immediately
opposite the mills of James H.
Thompson, on the Jackson line,
and leaving said mills in said new
county, thence a straight liue to
the old saw mill site ol Nathaniel
L. Barnard, on McNutt's creek,
thence down said McNutt’s creek
to its junction with Barter's creek;
thence down said Barter’s creek
to its junction with the Oconee
river, commonly called Middle
river; thence down said river to
the junction of the two Oconee
rivers ; thence down the Oconee
river to Barnett’s or Neal’s bridge,
on said river; thence with the
public road to Big creek church
to the Oglethorpe county line;
thence with the lines of the coun
ties of Oglethorpe, Greene, Mor
gan, Walton and Jackson, to the
starting point; and that the ter
ritory thus included, shall form a
for said county shall be held on the
second Monday in May aud No

Sec. 8th. Be it further enacted
hy the authority aforesaid, That
whereas there is now an outstand
ing debt against the county of
Clarke, that said new county shall
pay or cause to he paid its pro ra
ta share of said debt to he estima
ted according to the taxable prop
erty in the old and new counties as
shown by the Tax Receiver’s hooks
of Clark county for the year 1874 ;
and the Ordinary of said new coun
ty is hereby authorized to levy an
extra tax for the purpose of pay
ing said pro rata share of said
debt.

after such deliberation, we have
resolved to lay aside aft considera
tions of a personal character—to
waivo all personal preferences—
to consider nothing but the im
periled condition of the country—
the capacity of the man of our
choice to grapple with the mo
mentous questions of the day—to
meet and shatter the sophistries
of Northern fanatics;—to repel the
slanders of the vile culminators of
the South. The lituess of the
man, all things considered, for
the grave and responsible office of
Representative in the Congress of
a great Republic—of vast and di
versified Interests under a govern
ment in the hands of usuipers,
from whom it must soon be
wrested, else plunged into revolu
tion, anarchy aud ruin. We ig
nore the doctrine that any man,
or set of men, have claims*upon
the party or the people, hut hold
that the party aud the people have
elaiins upon men, uud in times of
great peril, as the present, we be
lieve it to he our duty to select
for our standard-bearer, the very
be t talent m the country. With
out intending disparagement to
any aspiniut for Congressional
honors, we express the opinion
that Hon. B. II. Hill is vastly su
perior, intellectually, to any man
in the 9th Congressional District
—superior, perhaps, to any in the
State, and equal to any in the na
tion. The interests of the 9th
District, the State and the entire
South, demand his presence in the
National Assembly, and we should
regard his defeat at this time, nl-
Ncv-
shall he attached to the Judicial
circuit and Congressional and Sen
atorial Districts to which said ter
ritory now belongs.
Sec. 2d. Be it further enacted
by the authority aforesaid, That
the county-site and location of the
public buildings shall he in the
town of Watkinsville.
Sec. 3d. Be it further enacted
by the authority aforesaid, ’J hat
the qualified voters within said
new comity shall, on the first
Wednesday in April next, at the
several election precincts now es
tablished by law, and which arc
included within said new county,
proceed pursuant to the election
laws then in force in said State, to
elect all county officers necessary
for the organization of said new
county, according to the laws of
this State ; and the Ordinary there
of, as soon as practicable, shall re
model tjic three fractional Malitia
Districts, made bv the d viding
line, by adding them to the ad-
make provisions for a jail in said
town be and the same is hereby
repealed so far as the sale of the
court house and Clerk’s office in
Watkinsville, is concerned ; and
the removal of the jail, but re
serving all other power and au-
passed by grAter dangers than at
the present time. Let us send a
man to Congress from this Dis
trict who understands the situa
tion, and can, and will make him
self heard ou all the great ques
tions of the day, upon the deter-
thority therein given to the Town | miuation of which, so much for us,

Sec. 10th. Be it further enacted
by thqauthority aforesaid, That
after the expiration of the terms
of the members of the present
Homjg of Representatives in the
General Assembly, the county of
Clarke shall be entitled to one
member, and the new county of
Oconee shall pe entitled to one
member in the House of Repre

Public
Meeting in Franklin
County.
In pursuance of notice previous
ly given, a public meeting was
held in Carnesville, at the court
house, on Febrory 20th, 1875,
for the purpose of appointing del
egates to the Convention to te
held in Gainesville on the 14th of
April next.
On motion, Rev. W. M. Ramp-
ley was called to the Chair, and
L. K. Burras was requested to
act as Secretary. •
The object of the meeting hav
ing been explained by the Chair
man, it was moved that he appoint
a committee of seven to report
busiuess for the actiou of the meet
ing. The iollowing committee
was appointed, to-wit: B. W.
McCown, Dr. W. C. M(.-Entire,
A. L. Carson, O. A. Holloway,
G. P. Willis, John Lattner and
J. S. Dortch.
After a short absence, the com
mittee reported the following pre
amble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted.
Whereas, In the Providence
of God, wc arc called upon to
mourn the death of Hon. Garnett
McMitlan, onr Representative
elect to the 44th Congress of the
United States; therefore te it
Resolved, By the Democracy of
Franklin county here assembled,
that we sincerely mourn the un
timely death of our gallant staud-
ard-bearcr, whom we have ever
regarded as an affable, Christian
gentleman, and able lawyer, an
unflinching patriot and an uncom
promising Democrat. He was en
deared to us by many sacred tics.
He had met qur * boys in grey’ in
the lonely bivouac—stood side by
side with them nrouud the camp
fire, and shared with them > n deeds
of noble dariug on the gory battle
field. His first triumphs at the
bar were iu Franklin county. He
was the personal friend of many
of our citizeus, by whom his loss
is keenly felt. We tender our
condolence to his bereaved family,
and remind them that though his
sun set early, it shined brightly
from its rising to its sotting—that
he has left a spotless record, and
died in the. faith of the ohristian
religion and in tbe hope of a glo
rious immortality beyond tbe
grave.•
Resolved, That in view of the
