;eb Old and Valuable Citizen

Those HjySitAUEs.—We are glad to note
the fact that iir friend Dr. M. L. Battle’.shat
shade inventjtfia comitfg into pretty gener
al use berea|nts. Tt is undoubtedly one of
the practical iventions of the age, and we
wish that thamergetic Doctor had capital
commensurate with its merits, so that he
could get thafremuneration he so justly de
serves. ’ t
Bitten btL- Moccasin.—Friday evening
last*, Dr. W. J. Harrell, in company with J.
R. Griffin ant E. R. Peabody, went fishing
to like Dougass, near thi* city, and as the
Doctor was puhing the boat from the shore
he was Bitten -in one of his forefingers by a
large water moccasin snake, which lay coiled
underneath the bow. The wound swelled
very fast, but a judicious use of brandy, and
an efficacious balsam, prevented its being
fatal.
Laconics.—The weeds, the fleas and the
mosquitoes, are luxuries we could dispense
with.
How to get hash for the next two months
is the latest social problem here.
Parties owing this office needn’t be afraid
or Muring to tithe the homestead yet a while.
Bill Harp puts un rho Hf-it
section. We bought some last week, and
our folks have licen harping on it ever .since.
The aristocracy of Bainbridge propose go
ing to the Springs this summer—the Harts-
field, Lucas and Arnett Springs.
Sol Munson is to deliver a Fourth of July
speech. The following is a specimen: “Be-
lubbed Bruddcrs: Who am Jack Nasty
Shack? echo exponds, whom am she?”
Is it a fact that those young men had their
clothes consumed in a recent fire? Any in
formation on the subject will be thankfully
received.
The Sickly Season.—The present hot
weather aided by the wet season is produ
cing Us fruits of sickness all over the coun
try. Cholera in its most virulent form is
dealing death in many parts of the South.
Inconsequence all the larger cities and
towns are improving tdieir sanitary condition
by very available means. No effort, how
ever, is being made in Bainbridge to clear
the accumulated filth from its limits, yet the
sallow faces, and dull sleepy eyes of its citi-
zt-us show too plainly that a crop *of disease
will soon.be ready for harvest. Our streets
and by ways, and waste places, are all grown
up with rank, poisonous and offensive weeds;
while decaying vegetation in gardens, and
the filth piles in rear of store houses, all help
to create a putrid atmosphere in which health
is a stranger. We respectfully and earnest
!y call the attention of the proper authori-.
ties to this matter.
Better tiias Chromos.—Every new sub
scriber to tbe Southern Musical Journal
(81.00 a year.) is entitled to a premium of
sheet music, of their own selection, to the
value of fifty cents. This is in addition t>
the fifteen dollars worth of music published
in the Journal during the year, and makes
the expense really but fifty cents » year. A
mere trifle! Who can refuse such an offer?
The Journal is a model magazine in every
respect: equal to any wo have seen, and
worth its sinarrsuoscriprion price ten times
over. Every musical family iti the South
ought to read it regularly. The June num
ber, just at hand, has the following choice
music, viz: “Milly’s Faith,” Claribel;
“Weary,” Gabriel; two fine and popular
songs. “One ileart, One Soul,” I’olka, Ma-
zurka, Etrausst “Hirst Bud,’ Waltz, Mer
rill Specimen copies free to any address,

. Savannah, Ga.
ble. The compositions of the girls were fine,
and the declamatory efforts' of the boys were
worthy of all praise.
The “Introductory Address,’.’ by a pretty
little Miss was well delivered, and loudly
applauded.
The young hero who spoke so earnestly
and eloquently in “Vindication of South
Carolina,” elicited the admiration of all who
beard him. Only a boy of scarce a dozen
years, beseemed to exactly comprehend the
situation of the brave people he was defend
ing* and delivered his address as if he was
one of the sufferers of that glorious, though
down-trodden State.
“Spartacus to the Gladiators,” was one of
the longest addresses delivered, yet the
youth who undertook the task did himself
great credit. In some of the most earnest
passages of the piece, we could see the
marked resemblance he bore to his lamented
father. May he be destined to fill as worthy
and as useful a position in life as that emi
nent man.
“A Beautiful Allegory,” “I Can’t and I
Can,” “Human Excellence not Self Born,”
“Fame,” “The Color Bearer,” “Female Edu
cation,” and “Vindication from Calumny,”
were among the jnost noteworthy ‘ speeches'.
We may add just here, however, that every
speech was good, and had the ring of the
true metal.
The Shakesperian Scenes were cut and
slashed up in regular schoolboy style. Billie
Scott, as the dead Ceasar, lay as still as the
bench that supported his royal corpse. Bil,
acted his part as well as Ceasar or any other
man could h^e done.
The tableaux scene was very beautiful.
The music by Prof. Uosenfeld was done up
in his usual superb style.
Taken altogether the exhibition was a suc
cess. '
The Aldixe for July is a capital number,
both as regards its Art and its Literature.
It epens with afull-page illustration,printed
in tints, and entitled “Catch Him!” It rep
resents two children, the elder of whom, a
girl, is holding her little brother up to a rose
bush, on which a butterfly is about to alight.
This is one of Mr. John S. Davis’s studies of
child life, and a very excellent one, too.
“Moonlight on the Shenandoah” is the title
of the first of a series of five illustrations
drawn by Mr. J, D. Woodward, whose themes
are the scenery of the Old Dominion, which
is chiefly selected in this instance from the
region around Harper's Ferry and the Shen
andoah. They are picturesque and beauti
ful." Mrs. Eliza Greatorex transports us
back to Old New York, in her spirited sketch
of “Hell Gate Ferry,” which is one of the
mast characteristic local drawings ever con
tributed to r 11ie Aldiue. “A Dainty Bit,”
after Otto Meyer, is delicious enough to pro
voke an efticure and a lover. Ot^pr figure-
pieces tro the “Morning Bath,” by II. Wer
ner, and “You Naughty Children!” by A.
Gable. There is a noble portrait of “The
Frauenkirche, Nuremberg;” a woodland
scene entitled “The Onset,” by C. Kroner:
*,,<! « uK» nf a hittera. as we sup
pose, standing atone in a desolate marsh up
on which the moon is just rising. This,
which- is alter Dahl, is a most poetic and im
pressive realization of “Solitude.” The Lit
erature of The Aldino is aiways as excellent
as; and generally more varied, than the lit
erature of any other American magazine.
There are. in the present number lour good
stories. “Sugaring Off,” a study of New
England life, by Mrs. If. G. Rowe, whose
mime is new to us: “Return in Peace,”
a study of old home life in the State of New
York, by I.ucy Ellen Guernsey; “The Com
et,” by Erckrnann-Cbatrian; and“TheTurk-
ish Slipper,” by • Maurice Hartmann. The
more solid articles are a readable editorial
on “The Old Dominion,” apropos to Mr.
Woodward’s illustrations ; another on “The
Frauenkirche, Nuremberg;” and “A Life’s
Romance.” a brief memior of The Countess
Potozki. The poems are “The Song in the
Dark,” by Mary E. Bradley; and “Sebas-
tiano at Supper,” by Margaret .J. Preston.
Music, Art, and Literature are intelligently
and independently discussed. Altogether
the number is remarkably good. Subscrip
tion qrice S5.00, including Chromos “Village
Belle” and “Crossing the Moor.” James
Sutton ,S Co., Publishers, 58 Maiden Lane,
N. Y.
Mr.. P. J. Mobbison’s Twin Boys.—These
little cherubs, so perfect in form an feature,
made but a brief visit to our sublunary sphere
to gladden for a few short minutes the exul
tant hearts of fond .parents, and welcoming
smilesof earthly friends. Children of the
hour, they returned their breath to the Ma
ker who gave it, and then girded on their
invisible wings and took their angelic flight,
to those celestial mansions which their Heav
enly Father has prepared for them.
To gaze upon their sweet and innocent fa
ces as they lay so snugly nestled in their
burial casket, would remind one of a picture
of two little Cupids in cunning repose after a
day’s work of love had been finished, with
their tiny bows and arrows secreted under
tbe snowy drapery and bidden lrom human
view. Thus is written the history of these
twin brothers, in their brief look upon life
while passing to “the sinles3 realms above.”
They were buried at Green Shade Church,
Fowlstown.
Eclectic Magazine.—The Eclectic for Ju
ly is on our table, and is probably the most
brilliant number of any magazine that has
been issued during the year. It has contri
butions from writers no less eminent than
Professor Tyndall, who writes of “Niagara
Falls;” Professor Huxley, who discusses the
“Problems of the Deep Sea;” Prof. Max
Miller, whoso “Lectures on Mr. Darwin’s
Philosophy of Language” are the most im
portant of recent attacks on “Darwinism ;’
and Mr. Tom Hughes, who treats in a most
suggestive manuer of the various “Problems
of Civilization.”
Other valuables papers are: “Charles,
Comtede Meutalembert;” -Louis Napoleon,
Tainted by a Contemporary:” “Homespun [ man p^bice Diawmg-Bn>m Sleeping Cars j

TO THE WEST! TO THE WEST!
Before making our arrangements to fol
low the advice of the “thousands who have
already gone,” it would be well to consider
what has been done to make the journey to
your “Homes in the West” as pleasant and
as free from danger as human skill and fore
sight can accomplish.
By consolidation and construction a road
has been put into operation on the shortest
possible line from Nashville, Tenn., to St.
Louis, “the future great City of the world.”
This line, tbe
St. Morris & Southeastern Railway,
has, daring the past year, earned an envia
ble reputation by its smooth track, prompt
time, sure connections, aud the magnifi
cence of its passenger equipment. Its trains
are made up of new and commodious day
cars, provided with the celebrated M.Per
^coupler and platform, and the westinghouse
! air-brake.
It is positively the only line running Pull-
Jot to the World! Woman is Free I—
Among the many modern disqov tries looking
to the happiness and amelipmtion of the hu
man race, none is entitled toTiiglipr consid
eration than the renowned remedy—Dr. J
Bradfield’s Female KegiOaior, Woman’s Best
Friend. By it woman is emancipated from
numberless ills peculiar to her sex. Before
its magic power all irreglarities of the womb
vanish. It cures whites. It cures suppres
sion of the menses. It removes uterine ob
structions. Itcuresconstipation and strength
ens the system. It braces the nerves, and
purifies the blood. It never fails, as thous
ands of women will testify. This valuable
medicine is prepared ami sold by L. H. Brad-
west-eru bank, near the water-edge, of
the mighty Mississippi. Twenty—thir
ty miles, or more, we proceeded along the
water line of this magnificent stream,
overtaking or meeting now and then,
one of those splendid steamers that

BRADHELD S CO., Atlanta, Ga.—Dear
Sirs: I take pleasure in stating that 1 have
used for the last twenty years, the mtdicine

Best Friend, and consider it the best combi

familiar with the prescription both a4 a prac
titioner of medicine and in domestic practice,
and can )y>nestly say that 1 consider it a
boon to steering females, and can but hope
that ever™ady in our whole land, who may
be suffering in any way peculiar to their
sex. may be able to procure a 1 Kittle, that
their suftering not only be relived, but that
they may be restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
From Bainbridge to Colorado-
Denver. Colorado.
June ,16th, 1873.
Mr. Editor:—Seven days after leav
ing home I have reached th s El Dorado
of my fancy. Five days and nights,
however, are sufficient in whieh to make
the journey.
I stopped one day in Atlanta, p.nd
spent the day meeting old fric-nds and
viewing the pjaee. Atlanta impressed
-*-> Wtmj gK-wil, Mid fOT tlt»
present, at least, I think there will be a
quietus of her hitherto indomitable en
ergy and progressive spit it. But. not
withstanding. she it) destined tti be the
reigning city of the .State and the pride
of all Georgians. Ilerc, as in our own
immediate section. 1 found business dull,
money “tight” aud the people despon
dent.
A night’s ride on the State Eoad
brought me to the mountainous country
around Chattanooga. As the shades ol
night were lifted by the dawn of an un
rivaled sun, Look Out Mountain,stern
and solitary, rose in grand prospective to
the view. The meandering streams and
tempestuous river, rugged hills and
lowly vales, ' lowing heards of grazing
cattle, and the shrill, clarion of chan
ticleer’s early notes, presented a varied
picture of Alpine pasturage and farm
house beauty. The scene so- lavishing
to the eye, like the magic influence of
champagne wine, invigorated me after
my night’s unrest fir the travel of the
day. Around the base of Look Out,
with her perpendicular side .rising in
frightful grandeur on the one hand,and
the foaming, dashing river far beneath
us on the other, we sped on our way
with electrical speed.
From this point westward to Colora
do, I found not much difference in the
advancement of vegetation, but aH con
siderably behind those in Decatur.
Corn was coming up, and none more
than a half leg high; oats green with
their early growth and no tendency to
head, while whe it, however, was here
and there bountifully beading.
Night-fall found us at Columbus,
Kentucky, on the banks of the Missis
sippi river. 471 miles from Athnta—it
being 138 miles from Atlanta to Chat
tanooga. 151 miles from Chattanooga to
Nashville, 156 miles from Naslville to
Uni m City, and 26 miles from Union
City to Columbus, and to estead my
monopolizing ip the West the trade of
New York; and with a back country,
more extensive, richer and inexhausti
ble, she is destined in the opinion of
many ere long, to be the largest city on
the continent. She is the favorite city
in America with the German immigra-'
tiim that is daily flpwingto our shores.
This intelligent and thrifty people seem
to predominate upon her streets; for at
every turn, large, handsome side-whis
kered men and red-faced, chubby wo
men remind us strongly of Germany.
Her places of public' resort, Lafayette
Park and Shaw’s Garden, are already
famous, and in real beauty and artistic
display cannot be excelled in this coun
try. Her buildings are large and sub
stantial, with a due regard to architect
ural beauty, and as wewall^ along her
broad and extensive streets her wealth,
her power, her magnificence become
really oppressive.
A fter a sojourn of two days in St.
Louis, I continued my journey* west
ward through the State of Missouri. A
more prosperous, fertile, and wealthy
country I never saw. Large fields of
waving clover, wheat, oats, corn, barley
and potatoes, greeted the eye in every
d irection. The crops were luxuriant,
and green, someth darknesss, and looked
alike—none j^or, all good. There were
no fields lying out, and waste-places to
eyesore the farmer. Every foot of the
ground was occupied by growing crops,
orchards, cow sheds, farm-houses aud
artistic residences of the land lords
Missouri is .a beautiful country, and
surely the delight of agriculturists and
dairy-men.
After a journey of 281 miles from
St. Louis on the Missouri Pacific R. R.
I arrived at Kansas City, on the east
branch of the Missouri River. Kansas
City is called the “Magic City,” because
of her rapid and unprecedented growth.
No other place in the known world has
grown more rapidly, or has so soon ta
ken and held her place in the front rank
of preat cities. Wafted 1 *»«*» being as
it were by a magician’s wand,she has by
qne sp mt ineous growth rose from the
humility of a tteam-boat landing in
1865, to a magnificent city of 32,000
inhabitants in 1870; and now her pop
ulation numbers considerably over 40.-
000 But the only charm I found
about Kansas City, has been her won
derful growth. I do not like her local
ity or people. There is too much mud
and marsh, and her citizens have not
the refinement and the city manners her
size and pretensions demand. But I
suppose she is excusable, as she has not
been out of the swamp sufficiently long
enough yet to learn the ways of the
world. ,
Twelve hours stay in Kansas City
was enough, and then on the Kansas
Pacific R. R. I commenced in earnest
my journey across the State of Kansas
and through-the Great American Desert.
Fnough for the present. My passage
on the plains should be the subject for
another letter.

DR. TUTUS PILLS
Increase the powers of digestion, and excite
the absorbents to action, whereby all impuri
ties of thwsysfem are carried off. The old
stereotyped opinion that calomel must be used
to “carry off the bile,” has given away be
fore the light of science. The vegetable king
dom furnishes a remedy, free from all dele
terious effects.
They act as kindly on the tender infant,
the rqost delicate female, and infirm old age,
as upon the most vigorons system, eradicat
ing every morbific agent, invigorating the
debilitated organs, building up the flagging
nervous energies. •

LA AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT which con
sists of the curative elements implanted by
the Great Physician in these hygean roots,
fully developed and eoneentrated, is known
tar and wide by the effects it has produced.
The unfortunate prey of Scrofula, whose
body was once honey-combed by that foul
disease testifies to Us value; the Rheumatia
patient who has cast aside his crutches ac
knowledges its.benefits with gratitude; tbe
victim of Syphilitic taint and mercurial poi
son resounds its praise; and the cicatrices of
unnumbered ulcers of every type, had they
each a tongue, would bear witness to its ef
ficiency.
Loss of Appetite, Indigestion, Dyspepsia,
Heartburn, Female Irregularities, Whites,
■fallow Complexion, Eruptions and Blotches
in the Skin, White Swellings, Safe Eyes, Dis
charges from the Bears, Scald Head, Cancer
in tbe Womb, Night Sweats, Nocturnal Emis
sions, Rheumatism, all proceed from the
•tame cause, viz:
IMPURE BLOOD AND UNHEALTHY SE
CRETIONS.
For those and kindred diseases a remedy
has dawned upon the world having for its
'object the relief of suffering humanity,
Dr. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla
and Queen’s Delight,
•an entirely vegetable compound, is'in- its op*
eration peculiar, entering into the circulation,
thus coming in contact with the gem or
cause of disease, and displacing unhealthy
secretions by extending its influence to ev,
ery part of the body, and causing a general
reaction whereby health succeeds debility
and disease. •
Under the influence of this valuable Med
icine tlie eye grows sparkling, tbe complex
ion clear and roseate, unJightly Blstcbes,
Pock Marks, Worms in the Flesh, Pimples
and Roughness of tbe Skin disappear, and
tbe entire organization grows redolent- with
health. It gives toneta the boby, and causes
it to gain in flesh and increase in weight.
Price, $1,00 per bottle, or 6 bottles for $5,00.
