Our Trade-
Last Saturday was a real lively day
with some of our merchants. We
saw at one time near a dozen wagons
in front of one store, (Brunson’s),
loading with provisions, etc. In the
provision and grocery line it seems
that Perry is getting her full share of
the trade of the county, while the
dry-goods merchants nave no right to
complain.
Keep us Posted.
As we desire to publish a county

Southern Rights Guards-
The Southern. Eights Guards were
organized May 1st, 1S53,—incorpora
ted by the Legislature Dec. lith
1859, with Jno. A. Houser, now of
Fort Valley, as Captain, and Jos. Tal-
mer, Dr. J. C. "Gilbert, J. R, Felder
and J. It. Birch, as Lieutenants. It
It .was among tbd flrst to volunteer for
the,defense'of Southern Iibertiess—
with the 1st Geor-
itseH all
through North-western Virginia by
its fortitude and bravery daring the
gloomy campaign of 1861. After the
disbanding of that regiment it imme
diately reorganized as the Southern
Bights Batterry, with Capt. Jos.
Palmer, and served through the bal
ance of the war in the Western Army
with distinction. Were eugagaed in
all the important battles from Perry-
ville to the surrender. It was reor
ganized in the fall, of 1872, but owing
to the anticipated. difficulty of pro
arms, etc., the organization
was not perfected by the regular
election of officers until the spring of
the present year. That gallant officer,
Jos. Palmer, was re-elected Captain.
The coinpauy is composed almost en-j
tirely of the younger brothers and
sons of the old veterans. Tho’ they
have not yet been armed by the Gov
ernor, still as it is the oldest unarmed
company in the State, they anticipate
being one of the companies who will
receive arms at the next distribution
—which is to take place this month.—
The company drills regularly every
Saturday at 4 r. si.,—and a finer body
of men we have rarely seen. Tfie
boys are oil the qici vive to attend the
encampment at Atlanta this summer
if the Governor ordu-s. If they do,
we predict they will maintain their
prestige, and Houston will have cause
again to be proud of the S.B. G. Be
lieving that the surest means of main
taming the dignity and patriotism of
the South to foster and incite the
military spirit of our young men, it is
with pride and pleasure we welcome
the reorganization of this veteran
company, and we hope ere ion
see enlisted in its ranks every young
man in our community.
The. Macon white voluuteer com
panies have organized a buitallion.
Why cannot Houston do likewise?
We have already two fine companies,
another can be formed with e;ise in
the upper part efi tho county; and thus
we can have a battalliou unsurpassed
in the State. (Jouio to the front vet

There are mady advantages to be
gained by such organization; the enu
meration of a few will suffice: The fos
tering of the military spirit of the
country is the surest means to incul
cate patriotism, and maintain- our lib
erties; a regularly disciplined militia
furnishes the surest bulwark of a Re

Pnr Tax Colloator-

We have always regarded Mr. Hous

intent; but rather by a mistake, and
bis prompt settlement justifies our

Mr. Editor:—I notice in your
last paper, a local item in reference to
Col. Samuel Hall being a candidate
for Congress in the Fifth District, and
also as to h:s place of residence. In
the first place, Col. Hall’s many friends
in Crawford, Houston, Monroe, Up
son, Spalding,. Fulton, and through
out the District, with his consent, will
plaee his name before the Democratic
Convention.
It is useless to -turn over Samuel
Hall,s record to prove his ability and
integrity. He is acknowledged to be
one of the profqundqst lawyers, of a
reputation so honorably reaching be
yond the limits of his own native
State, that his election would secure
ability and fidelity to his constituents;
and add lnrtre to" Georgia’s galaxy in
the nation’s Legislature. From facts
(of which more will be said) Mr. Hall
is one of the most available men in the
District.
Secondly, Mr. Hall has been for
years-and ever expects to be a citizen
and resident of Houston county. - But
more upon this point in our next.

Me. Editor:—Thinking probably
that yoii and yonr numerous readers
would be glad to hear from this part
of the county, will be excuse enongh,
propably, for my troubling you with
this epistle. We have had splendid
seasons, crops of corn are looking well,
and generally well cultivated. Cotton
crops are alike grassy in some places,
and as a matter of course, small.
Onr little town is in a thriving con
dition, and peace aud good order is
the rule of the day.
Our Methodist friends met at the
Baptist church on the fifth Sunday in

in the Baptist church until they build
one of their own.-- * -s •-
The Primitive Baptists had preach
ing here on Sunday last, by tne Rev.

behalf of our missionary Baptist friends
for their liberalily towards other de
nominations.
Tho health of onr country is ex
tremely good, so say the doctors.
By the by, Mr. Editor, there is
great complaint throughout this sec
tion of the county in regard to tne
collection of poll taxes. The bailiffs
are collecting two dollars aud "twenty
cents, when it should not" be but one
dollar and eighty-five cents, without a
levy being made. We would thank
some gentleman to give us some light
npon this subject. While we are°of- widow " a ^ - famil y "°“ r "**peetfnl ,»ym-

Dr. 3. Walker’s California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg-
ecableprcparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs fottud on the lower
rauges of tho Sierra Nevada moun
tains of California, the medicinal
properties of which are' extracted
therefrom without the use of Alcohol.-
Thc question is almost daily asked,-
“ What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters'?” Our answer is, that they
vemore the cause of disease, and
the patient recovers his health. They
are the great Mood purifier and a
Jife-giving {. principle, a perfect Reno
vator and JCnyigorator of the system.
Never before in the history of the world
has a medicine been compounded pos
sessing tlie remarkable qualities of Vin
egar Bitters in healing the sick of
every disease man is heir to. They are
a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver aud Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases
The properties of Dr. Walk
er's Vineg ar Bitters are Aperient, Dia
phoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxa
tive, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant,
Sudorific, Alterative, aud Anti-Bilious,
Gratefnl Thousands proclaim
vinegar Bitters the most Wonder
ful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system'.
No Persou etui take these Bit
ters according to directions, awl re
main long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral
poison or other means, and vital or
gans wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and In
termittent V’evers, which are sot

There is no. cathartic for tlie purpose

the bowels are loaded,- at the same' time
stimulating the secretions of the fiver,-
