The Grasshoppers.
Their |l)rcu<lful Ravages—A Graphic
Description.
The following letter was not written for pub
lication, but treating, as it does, of matters of
public interest, wo take the liberty to publish
it. The writer was formerly a citizen of White
county, Ga.:
Weston, Platte Cos., Missouri, j
May 30th, 1875. J
M. P. Caldwell, Gainesville:
Dlah Sib— Through the mercies of a kind
Providouce, my family are yet all on the land
of the living aud enjoying moderate health.
We have, iu all this section of country, a very
distressing time on account of grasshoppors.
It is impossible for me to give you anything
like a correct idea of them and their destruc
tion. You can scarcely realize how numerous
they are. I planted fifty acres in corn this
spring, and forty of it are eat off into the
ground, and never can come up nguin. Thou
sands of acres of the surrounding country in
the same condition. Tho farmers have quit
plowing their corn—you can ride all day aud
not soe a plow running.
If the grasshoppers do not leave here jn
tiiuo to plant lato corn, there will bo no corn
made in this country, and ureat suffering must
inevitably follow. They have devoured the
wheat the same as corn. My crop would have
been good for fifteen hundred bushels of wheat
had nothing happened, now I have not tho
surely of u bushel, and I think thoro are at
least fiftoou hundred or two thousand bushels
of grasshoppers now in my wheat field, and I
tell you now it is the most alarming and dis
couraging time I ever experienced. Ido not
believe now we will make anything, aud if we
don’t, people will be bound to go to the grain
or suffer.
I see the Gainesville Eaole is complaining
of moles and crows. Tell the oditors I will
swap them grasshoppers for them, aud take
all they have in Georgia.
I will give you further details in my next.
Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain truly
yours, etc.,
M. M. PATTON.

A (lartl—To flit* Public.
Some timo ago, James IT. Vincont was ar
raigned before the Mayor’s Court on a charge
of assault and battery. His Honor, 11. S.
Bradley, the Mayor, being disqualified from
presiding in the case, it was brought up be
fore the undersigned. Mayor pro tern. The
evidence was conclusive of tho guilt of
of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.
In fact there was nothing adduced to vary or
contradict the plain statement of the prosecu
trix, except the statement of the defendant
not under oath. It was not to be expected
that any man making pretensions to respecta
bility should confess that he was guilty of tho
act charged. He admitted he did talk to her
upon the subject. The only sworn testimony
introduced by the defense was negative; that
is to say, three persons who occupied rooms
near by the one in whieh the offense was
charged to have been committed testified that
nothing of the sort took place, that they heard.
And further, that the uegress did not enter
de'endaut’s room, when he admitted that she
did, and corroborated her statement as to
time, place and subject, and only disputed the
assault and battery.
Acting under the sanction of an official oath,
I could not do other* ise than find defendant
guilty, and I nevor yet have questioned the
correctness of the conclusion from the evi
dence, as well as from all the subsequent
transactions.
The offense was committed in 11 room in the
liichmoud House, and on the evening after
the verdict was rendered the defendant and
certain of his apologists and adherents pre
pared for a high indignation meeting, and
proposed an effigy to represent me, to be
burned publicly.
Some persons, more considerate, perhaps,
induced the very indiguant defendant and his
supporters to abandon the idea ot effigy burn
ing, and in its stead to substitute some reso
lutions of censure and indignation. The de
fendant penned the resolutions, and making
them a little too strong, they were copied by
another, aud some of the most objectionable
features left out.
These resolutions, which reflected most se
riously and injuriously upon the character,
both private aud official, of the undersigned,
were circulated aud signed by the persons
hereafter named, as well as by seventeen gen
tlemen who, seeing the great injustice done
me, took occasion to subscribe a resolution
which was several times published, and which
disclaimed all intention to censure or reflect
injuriously upon me. The last mentioned
resolution was kept in the office of the Ordi
nary for about two weeks, that an opportunity
might lie afforded to every one to correct any
error he had made, or to disclaim, or wilh-
draw any Offensive charges tiauo against rue.
That no excuse could be left for lack of op
portnnity M do me injustice, and as I was un
willing to believe that any man in onr com
munity would willingly and wilfully endeavor
to break down the good name and character
of a man who is now in the very town where
he was born and raised, and who is amongst
the very people who have known him all his
life, and that, too, too, to uphold a man in
the commission of an offense against his race,
against decency, committed in a public hotel,
in open day light, I addressed a respectful
note to each one of the persons hereafter
named, and put them in the post-office, and
I have every reason to believe they were all
received.
I therefore having offered an opportunity to
each to do me justice, and each having failed
to avail himself of the opportunity afforded, I
can bat conclude that each ot the following
named persons willfully intended to ruin my
character, if iu their power.
I, therefore, give the name and occupation
of each, and the facts and circumstances, and
the occasion which induced this unjustifiable
and wanton attack, or rather secret stab of a
man who honestly believed he did his duty,
and whose decision, if erroneous, could be re
viewed and corrected by a higher tribunal
—but rather than do which the defendant has
been pleased to abandon this town and com
munity—in order that an unprejudiced public
may judge between me and my traducers:
O. R. Simmons, attorney at law (?) and Phil
R. Simmons, attorney at law(?), W. L. Marler,
attorney at law (?), all of whom were defend
ant’s counsel upon the trial.
T. J. Hunt, proprietor of the Richmond
House, at which tho offense was committed,
and who would have been expected to try to
the character of his house.
J, M. Hnnt, brother of last named, aud joint
proprietor of the Richmond House.
J. J. Mayne, who has beeu honored with
the office of Clerk Superior Court for many
years, and supported by no one more eordially
than myself and my friends.
W. J. Shockley, a merchant (?).
■J. D. Kendrick, of the firm of Smith & Ken
drick, proprietors of a livery stable in Gaines
ville.
Respectfully,
W. A. BROWN.
Gainesville, Ga., June, 9th, 1875.

The Mechanic* vf GaDn svJ e.
No place iu our State can boast of a better
set of mechanics than Gainesvi.le. They are
industrious, punctual, prompt and, as a set of
men, are sober and reliable. Promptly at the
sound of the wLutle—at seven, twelve, one,
six - they are at their post, and we scarcely
ever see one of them on the streets idle. Most
of them own their homes, and consequently
are not the slaves of merciless landlords. The
mechanics of any place are the heart'and soul
of the place, the main stay and dependence,
and no class of a community are more impor
tant. Gainesville may well be proud of her's.
We propose to publish for the information
of onr citizena a complete list of the mechanics
of the city, and if we omit the names of any
in this list, we will cheerfully add their names
herealter.

Vinegar Hitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, made
of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquor*
doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the taste, called
“Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” &c., that lead
the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the
Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per
fect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying
off all poisonous matter, and restoring the blood to a
healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating
both mind and body. They are easy of administration,
prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and
reliable in all forms of disease.
No Person can take those Bitters accord
ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain
in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizzi
ness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the
Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, In
flammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kid
neys, and a hundred other pain Ail symptoms, are the off
springs of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no
equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
For Female Complaints, m young or old, mar
ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn
of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influenca
that a marked improvement is soon perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheu
matism and Gout, .Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Bilious,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood,
Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most
successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
They are a Gentle Purgative a well si
a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and
Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, ara
literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short
time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such
cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative
effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples.
Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the reins; cleanse k when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep tha blood
pure, and the health of the system will follow.
Grateful thousand* proclaim Vinegar Bit
ters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worm*, lurking m ths
systeiq of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist: There
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whoso
body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not
upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist,
but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that
breed these living monsters of disease. No system of
MedilSe, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free thq
system from worms like these Bitters.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged its
paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,
Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, will bo
subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard again&t
this take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters once
or twice a week, as a Preventive.
Biliou*, Remittent, and Intermittent
Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our
great rivers throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten
nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos,
Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,Roanoke,
James, and many others, with their vast tributaries,
throughout our entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual
heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by exten
sive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other
abdominal viscera. There are always more or less ob
structions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state of
the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat
ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There i
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the
dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels arn
loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of tha
liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the
digestive organs.
Scrofula, or King’* Evil, White Swellings,
Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous
Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes,
etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases,
Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great
curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable
cases.
Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters
act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away
the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits)
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure
is effected.
Tlic properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar
Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative,
Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant,
Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti Bilious.
The Aperient and mild propgnieT'of~
Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are the best safe
guard in all cases of eruptions and malignant fevers, their
balsamic, bailing, and soothing properties protect the
humors of the fauces. Their Sedative properties allay
pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels, either
from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their
Counter-Irritant influence extends throughout the system.
Their Diuretic properties act on the Kidneys, correcting
and regulating the flow of urine. Their Anti-Bilious
properties stimulate the liver, in the secretion of bile,
and its discharges through the biliary duct's, and are
superior to .ill remedial agents, for the cure of Bilious
Fever, Fever and Ague, etc.
Fortify flic body against disease by puri
fying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic
can take hold of a system thus forearmed. The liver, the
etomaoh, the bowels, the kidneys, and the nerves ars
rendered disease-proof by this great invigorant.
The Efficacy of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bit
ters, in Chronic Dyspepsia, Fevers, Nervous Disorders,
Constipation, deficiency of vital power, and all maladies
affecting the stomach, liver, bowels, pulmonary organs,
or muscular system, has been experienced by hundreds
of thousands, and hundreds of thousands more are ask
ingfor the same relief.
Directions. —Take of the Bitters on going to bed
at night from a half to one and one-half wine-glassfull.
Eat good nourishing food, such as beefsteak, mutton
chop, venison, roast beef, and vegetables, and take out
door exercise. They are composed cf purely vegetable
ingredients, and contain no spirits. •*
