The Weekly Democrat, Ben. £. Russell, Dr. W. J. Harrell. Editor. Associate. THURSDAY*. O TORKR 23, 1873. ,, .. , ,. 3 following lots of land Mr. minion Lugel died .. -si situate, lvincr an Thomasville Fair" Elsewhere in our columns will he fouml an advertisement of the above exhibition, which gives a maguili-1 cent list of special premiums. Not long ago owing to the financial crash now shaking the country from one extreme to the other, it was, ahout to be deemed wise and prudent to postpone the Fair until next year ; but the Directory and ^stockholders of the association met in convention last week in Thomasville and deci ded to have the exhibition, whether it proved a success financially or not. Thug we see that the parties di recting this purely Sout.,-Georgia Fair, are fully up to the required emergency, and are offering better premiums than ever, and are pledg ing the success of the enterprise to the fullest extent of their means. We trust that the people of Deca tur will go forward and do all in their power to be represented, with the products ol their industry and thrift. Yellow Jack in Bainbridge. We have delayed our paper one day for the purpose of becoming fully con vinced of the presence of Yellow Fever in Bainbridge. to-day of what Dr. Charlton, of Savan nah. who attended him. pronounces \ el- low Fever and nothing else. Whether it will prove to be contagious is a mat ter of still much doubt. Mr. W. T. Worn died this morning, though of a disease of the head, occasioned by a wound received in the arm}'. We may add that Dr. Charlton visi ted other patients with our city physi cians. and says that he sees no symp toms of an increase of the fever, and that it has about exhausted itself. Among our physicians there is consider able difference of opinion. Our citizens need but keep their premises well cleaned and ventilated, and all will be more secure from taking the fever. Administrator's Sa!s. BY virtue of a decree in Clianeery, wall be sold before the Court house door in the tow u of Greenville, in .Uerriwether county, Geor giy on the first Tuesday in Nov., next : The .. ’ . , . ■' * 1 0-7 Tribute of Respect- At the regular meeting of the Oak City Hook k Ladder Company, on Monday, Oct. 13th, 1873, the follow ing preamble and resolutions were adopted : The undersigned committee ap pointed at the last meeting of the Oak City Hook and Ladder Company, have the sad duty of declaring here solemnly in this place, the death of our friend and brother Fireman Mett Bowers. A companion and friend whose fidelity and virtues invoked our admiration, our love ; he is gone from our midst; and our hearts arc extremely sad, as we look upon the the place he filled, at his fireside, in this community, in this Company now vacant. Death discriminates in favor of no age, nor condition, nor rank. The king in the plentitude of his power, in the uncovered presencee of cring ing courtiers, while nations venerate and subjects shout, his majesty, shat tered, trembles, sinks to the earth, and mingles his ashes in common mould with the peasant dust. The gloom ol the valley and the shadow” penetrates the prison cage of the raving maniac and steels his incohc- XCJttt C&.vingg, thence purseing his way falls with equal weight of para lyses on the princely mind ot him who stands foremost in the nations file of genius. Death strikes down the plowman in the midst of his clods, the wealthy in the height of their luxuriance and each succumb to the blow of the unsdtsn arm. Death lays its leaden finger upon the smi- ling’.hps of the sleeping child. His solemn fiat “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes” sounds on the fitful slumber of wrinkled age. To all alike his message conics: “Dust thou art. To dust returnest. Our comrade has been summoned before the great all-wise and just Judge, who has entered ins history and life in that Great Book of Final Account, and we hope and believe that the final account of our com rade is balanced iu his favor. There is really no cause of regret when a good man passes away from this world where we all assume to be judges of each other, and too oft alas! unjust judges to that better world where none sit in judgment but Him who cannot err ; but it be comes us to express our sympathy. Therefore, the committee beg leave to submit the following resolutions : Whereas, It has pleased Almighty _Gixl in the exercise of his inscru table wisdom, to remove from our midst our companion, friend and com rade, Mett Bowers. Resolved—That in the Mett Bowers, a virtuous man a faithful fireman, an amiable friend, and a kind affectionate husband and father has fallen. Resolved—That we extend to the bereaved family our unaffected deep sympathy for which loss they and our company ha? s stained. General News.

Yau Kee, a prominent Chinese merchant of San Francisco, has made application for his naturalization pa pers, and will soon be a Van Kee by nation as well as by name. A private dispatch from Calvert, Texas, says: Fever here is worse than at Shreveport. Seven per cent, of our population have died. Lousvillg says although there have been several cases of yellow fever in that city, not an indigenous case has occurred, all were imported from Memphis or Shreveport. In the river Medway, in England, thousands of fish are dying owing to the offensive mattters discharged in- to its waters from the mills. The dead and dying fish arc generally bream.

A fashionable authority says that “the true woman of ton will endeav or, this fall, by the grace and sim plicity of her attire to show that her husband has neither robbed a bank nor leader of a ring. A Maryland Judge fined a man eleven dollars and a quarter the other day for calling his neighbor a “fawn ing sycophant.” The defendant paid the bill, and remarked that if lie had called the man a hypothenusc that Judge would have fined him fif ty dollars.

The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect ed Solution of the Protoxide of Iron, is so combined as to have the character of an aliment, as easily digested and assimilated with the blood as the simplest food. It increases the quantity of Nature’s Own Vitalizing Agent, Iron in the blood, and cures “a thousand ills,” simply by Toning up,Invigorating and Vitalizing the System. The en riched and vitalised blood per meates every part of the body, repairing damages and waste, searching out morbid secre tions, and leaving nothing for disease to feed upon. This is the secret of the won derful success of this remedy in curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com* plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar rhoea, Boils, Xervous Affections, Chills and Fevers, Humors, Loss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blood, or ac companied by debility or a low state of the system. Being free from Alcohol, in any form, its energizing effects are not fol lowed by corresponding reac tion, but are permanent, infu- strength, vigor, and neio life into all parts of the system, and building up an Iron Con stitution. Thousands have been changed by the use of this remedy, from weak, sickly, suffering crea tures. to strong, healthy, and happy men and women; and invalids cannot reasonably hes itate to give it a trial.
