Atlanta, on the 25th. The object of the meeting

Accident. The aov. rcsidenco c-t—*lr. W. W.
Johnston, ou Main street, fell to the ground on
last Tuesday. The pillars supporting the build
ing were small, and the continued rain so soft
ened the earth as to causo them to give way, and
the house toppled over. We regret this, as the
building was near completion, and the accident
will give the proprietor much trouble and ex
pense.
Doty vs. the Panic.— The Rev. D. J- Myrick
delivered a very able and impressive sermou at
the Methodist church ou last Sabbath. It appears
that the Church at this place had been assessed a
large amount for the benetlt of missions and the
orphans. Owing, however, to the panic, no
call had been made for contributions until last
Sabbath; when, under the influence ol the ser
mon, the sum of two hundred dollars was raised.

Allendale—Slkburßan Villa.— This beanti
lul little villa, on ihe southern out skirts of For
syth, is rapidly increasing in the number of its in
habitants. Situated aa it is in the immediate vi
cinity of the notable mineral well; and being the
most eligible and beauliiul portion of our little
city, there is every reason to believe that in a few
yeais it will be decorated with handsome and ele
gant residences, which will add largely to the im
portance and credit of our city. There are a large
number of splendid building lots now tor sale,
and the geueral partiality already manifested for
this locality, we expect that a large number of
new residences will soon be erected.
Death of Hon. W. C. Rebding.— Our com
munity was startled on last Friday morning by
the report that the above named gentleman was
dead. It appears that on Thursday he w*s unex
pectedly attacked with congestion of the bowels,
and by 10 o'clock be was a corpse. Col. Redding
was in hia 79th year when he died. Over sixty
years of this good man’s life was spent in this
county. Our citizens had honored him a number
of times with their votes for Representative and
Senator, which positions he always filled with
credit and distinction. In all the walks of life he
was honored and respected. Asa Christian he
was pure and incorruptible; as a friend faithful
and unwavering; as a citizen and member of so
ciety exact aud punctual in the discharge of hia
duties, aud as a father indulgent and blameless
The long line of his relations Dave the great
consolation of knowing that his eschutcheon was
without a blemish, and his character exempt irom
those blurs aud stain* which creep upon almost
all of ua through the inbeient corruptions ot hu
man nature. In sorrow, we tender our sympa

The Tax Fight.—The great contest, between
certain ciliz us of Forsyth and the Board ot Cosu
mi&sioners, iu reference to the power of the Boaru
to levy and coll, ct certain tuxes, etc., which b s
been pending lor some time, was called up before
Judge Hall ou list Saturday evening. The coia
plaicants were represented Messrs. Wooten, Hall,
and Jacob ; Council by Messrs. Hammond, Speer,
and Cabaniss. Col. Wooten opened the argument
:or the ccmplainauts, iu a speteli of about one
hour’s length. The points raised were elucidated
with clearness, and the arguments seemed to be
almost unanswerable. Col. Hammond followed
in an argument of about one and a half hours’
length, which for beauty of diction, clearness, and
power, we have seldom seen excelled. Judge
Speer also delivered an able and powerful speech.
The case was then adjourned over to Spalding
Court, this week, when when Co'. Hall will close
the case. We regret that we are not able to fur
nish the decision of the Court this week.
Republic Life Insurance Company.—This
company is conceded by all to be established on
a basis as firm as any in the United States. An
advisoiy board was organized in our city, several
months since, and it was expected by Mr. Good
now, the general manager, to have erected
a large a.aJ costly building. c'roumstances,
however, have intervened which will delay the
matter until the coming spring. This company is
very much on the order of the Southern Lile;
guaringteeing to invest a large amount of its prem
turns in the county. We take pleasure in com
mending this company to the favorable considera
tion of the public. A goodly number of our first
citizens have insured in the company and the
board is composed of some of our best and safest
financiers.
Capt. 8. T. Jenkins, Superintendent of agencies
in Georgia aud the Carolinas, is a gentleman, in
every respect worthy of the confidence of all, and
we take pleasure in reccommending him to our
citizens.

a very exteutive plaining mill, propelled by steam,
all this with th'ir large warehouse, where they
keep stored an irumeuse amount of valuable ma

CatU. Ji. Vt* Miller, Agent at For*ylh, Ga:
Dear Sir—Yours of tbt 25 b uIL, informing m
of tbe attempt by interested parties to injure th<
Southern Life Ir aurance Compiny, by reports oi
heavy losses from yellow fever at Memphis and
dhreveport, etc , and ssklug facts, is before me.
I am informed by the officers of the Memphis
and Shreveport, that our losses from fever are
remarkably light —leas thsu forty thousand dol
lars f940,000j, including both Memphis and
Bhreveport. The amount, you will perceive, is
scarcely appreciable by this Company, whose as
nual income largely exceeds one million dollar*
(91,000,000).
This mode of unjustifiable warfare Is not new
to me. Sice Us organization, the Southern Life
has been the subject of persistent attack, by those
companies which carry money from this section ;
but the efforts to damage it have invariably re
coiled upon those making them.
You must expect detraction of this and of every
Southern enterprise, which succeeds as has this
Company, in checking the long continued drain
ol money from this to other sections. I am very
respecfully yours, J. B. Gordon,
It President.
Mr. Editor: In a late issue of your paper, I tee
it stated that I had received supplies to organize
negro lodges of the Independent Order ol Good
Templars. In publishing that notice, you have
done a great injury to the Good Templar organi
ration—an unintentional injury on your part, I
am fully convinced. I respectfully ask that you
will make the correction.
The organization referred to has been in con
templation tor a year past, and has but lately been
perfected. It is called the United Order of True
Reformers, prepared under the autnoiity of the
Grand Lodge of the I. O. G. T. of Keutucky, and
adopted by the Grand Lodge of Georgia, as a
suitable work to be introduced to colored peo
ple. When I first saw your notice, I thought ev
erybody understood it, or at lecst what it meant;
but having received several letters from members
of different lodges in the State, making enquiries
as to whether it was the same organization as the
jOud Templars; and that evil disposed men, who
aave for some time past b<.en trying to break
down the Ordei, were using that to convince the
people tnat the Good Templars were organizing
vUe negroes on terms ot social equality, is my ex
cuse for making this request. To those busy
bodies let me say chart they will not be allowed to
join this new Order as it is for persons of African
aercent alone, as you will see in the constitution.
So far as the negroes and the I. O. G. T. are con
cerned, it is now settled forever.
All are satisfied with the Ordc-r, at least all that
have bceik informed of the state of affairs.
Hoping that you will give this explanation
space in your valuable paper, I remain, iraternal
ly, James G. THUOWi.it.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Living Advertisements.—A medicine that
has done more than all the prescriptions of the
pharmacofssla to protect the human system
against the bodily ills superinduced by unhealthy
surroundings, is certainly worthy of universal
confidence. It is mainly on account oi its ex
traordinary preventive properties that Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters is so exceedingly popular in lo
calities subject to the visitation of mia-maric fe -
vers and other diseases ptoduced by empoisoned
air. A family that has escaped sickness during a
sickly season in tonsequence of using the Bitters
as a safeguard, is a living advertisement of the
virtues of the preparation. w Tbe whole neighbor
hood realizes the fact. “I couldn’t have believed
it,” says one. “ I scarcely credited the advertise
ments; but one must believe wha: one sees,”
says another. “It is the very thing w: need in
this unwholesome section of country,” remarks
a third. And the result is that the' instinct of
self-defence, the first law of sature, induces three
fourths of that community to obtain a supply of
the great vegetable antidutt before the next sickly
season sets in. In wlntet, when the system re
quires extra vigor and elasticity to to enable it to
baffle the (fleets o* damp and cold, the Bitters
will be found particularly serviceable. Rheuma
tism will not be apt to fasten upon muscles and
nerves that have been braced up by tbi3 excellent
invigorant and nervine ; nor will tbe severi. ies of
the season, wbioh have such a disastrous effect
m the pulmonary organs ot the feeble aod deli
cate, be likely to exercise the same untoward in
fluences in cases where the stomach and the ex
ternal sufaee of the body, (which always sympa
thizes with the digestive organs) have been toned
and stimulated by a course of the restorative. The

which proceed from sufeh sudden enanges -of
weather may always be aferted by a timely use of
the B tters.

That Fayorita Home Remedy,
PAIN-KILLER?
Has been before the public over thirty years,
and probably has a wider and -better reputation
than any other proprietary medicine of the present
day. At this period there are bat few unacquaint
ed v ith the merits of the Pain-Killer: but,
while some extol it as a linimeiit, they know but
little of its power in easing pain when taken in
ternally ; while others use it Infernally with great
success, but ar equally ignrant of its healing vir
tues when applied externally. We therefore wish
to say to ail, that it is equally successful, whether
used internally or externally. It is sufficient.evi
dence of its virtues as a standerd medicine to
know that it is now used in all parts of the world,
snd that its 6ale is constancy increasing. No cur
ative agent has had such a widespread sale or giv
en mere universal Satisfaction.
Davis’ Pain-Killer is a purely vegetable com
pound, prepared from the best and purest materi
als, and with a care that insures the most perfect
uniformity in the medicine; and while it is a most
effective remedy for pain, it is a perfectly safe
medicine even in the mo6t unskillfiji hands.
It is eminently a Family Medicine ; and by
being kept ready for immediate resort, will save
many an hour of suffering, and many a dollar in
time and doctor’s bills. | ’
After over thirty years trial, it is|till receiving
the most unqualified testimonials *o its virtues,
from persons of the highest character and respon
sibility. Eminent Physicians coEmend it as a
most effectual preparation for the extinction of
pain. It is not only the best remety ever known
for Praises, Cuts, Burns, efc., but for Dysentery,
or Cholera, or any sort of bowel ccmplaint, it is a
remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidity
of action. In the great cities of India, and other
hot climates, it has become the standard medicine
for all such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and all other kit Jred disorders.
For Cocgbs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, sad
Rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved by the
most abundant and convincing testimony to be
an iuvaiaable medicine.
We would caution the public against ail imita
tions ot ourpreparation, either in name, or stvle
of putting up. oct2l.lm
