WAHHiNimW tSAZKTTE J. W. CHAPMAN. Proprietor. r t FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1885. i-jiu*4~u ■ u obi* siw prwudktk. The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution writes: One i of tlife Inony remarkable things about the new president in hie power of physical endurance. He had a stout constitution to start with. This he lms preserved and improved by his active and atheletic habits of life. He was in early manhood fond of the society of congenial spirits and, to a degree, eonyival, but he has always been remarkably regular in his habits. His firm brawn and hisex < -client disgestiun are powers back of hie imperturbility as well as his lo gocul mind and his firm will. Nature generally mates the qualities of phy sical and mental composure. The very appearance of Mr. Cleveland on the day of his inauguration inspired faith in the strength of his character. A serener man was perhaps never scon. He walked into the senate chamber as if he had .performed the same aet every day for a year past. He delivered his inaugural as if he were giving a daily report of the condition of the government. He went through the slow procession to the capitol, through the ceremo nies attendant on the inauguration of both president and vice-president, and the long tedious ride lmck to the white house through the narrow aisle which was, with difficulty, kept op on in the dense multitude of cheering sovereigns to whom we had to bow, right and left, ns his tardy coach proceeded. Then he stood for near ly three hours reviewing the march ing host, and when he finally entered the white bouse had to sit out an honra’s social acrvlec si the elaborate lunch prepared by the commander Mr. Arthur In honor of his aucceaaor. Then came the lingering horror of the inaugural iihamitm]. guests pushing and crowding around him until 2 o'clock In the morning. There were fourteen hours of lnces • ml strain upon mini and body -quite enough to lay oui *n ordinary man. The ordeal dUTTTU, uhnso the preal t dunt. iHo wa* In hli flfJ e' ready Vork ijy nine o’clock next wboivtnoKt of the men and; KWl| who bad elbowed each other, ami ] creased their nocks to sec him the n’ght before, were snoozing them selves to physical reflation. 0011X0 BLOW. A recent dispatch from Waahlng ion city aaya: It l not tumioinlily expected the new President will begin 14* W*} 1 ’ 1 * 4M i but those Who export to see faint art hastily will he disappointed. >Some of llie Dento orntt here, Whtt may bo animated by the best and most patriotic motives, ai-o becoming feoitvinced that there ts a man of strong purtoso at the gov ernment and that it will not do to hope for a rapid and reckless swing ing of tlio Excntive axe. It Is said that a delegation from a Southern State called upon him to day and kindly Informed him that it had ar ranged how tho Federal ofliers in their State should pe distributed. The President t reported to have heard the programme or the visiting party, after which ho told them that ho did not propose to move with inconsiderate hsste, and that ho in tended to bn governed by tho princi ple* enunciated In his leltor, written after the election, on civil service reform. DEATH or DR. THOMAB P. JAMES _____ A dispatch of the 10th to the Au gusta Chronicle, freui Greene, boro, <>*.. says; Dr. Thomas P. Janes died at his rokideneo, about seven miles from Greene shore, this evening. About twelve o'clock the hinds Marking an Ids farm found him ly ing in the Held in an unconscious ♦•million. They removed him to Ids homo, but he died before medi nd assistance eon id reach him.’ Tho report ia that lie died from an over dose of morphia, but whether admin istered with an intent to kill himself is not known. Dr. Janos has been stiflbring for seme lime from nervous affection, brought on by financial anxiety and it is thought that he took the morphia to easo Ids nerves. Dr Junes wra formerly a very woalthv man, hut ha* been very imfor lunate and in a few years has lost much monev, although Ills property is still estimated as being worth from 125,000 or $30,000. lie was at one time Commissioner of Agriculture far Georgia, and was a man who had done much to advance the farm ing bushiest of the State. He was a kind and affable gentleman, end a mauoflarge experience. His death will be feit in the county and will cause much regret. E. • azOSGIAA WBW'taSTOBIAir.'* (AtUnt* Ctjntltnticra.} Under the caption.of “Georgia’* New Historian,” the New Orleans I’icayune hae the lollowing: “The Picayune hae received a small patn piiietofa little more than a hundred pages, entitled “The Commonwealth of Georgia; the Country, the People, the Pi eductions.” Thiawork bearing on it* title page the name of llie very able commissioner of agriculture, is with reference to Georgia, the com plement of the Texas publication. In other wordt, if the Texas commis sioner had a general introduction such as the Georgia Pamphlet con stitutes, or if the Georgia commis sioner had a supplement such as the Texes boek, the result would be the most, perfect issue yet made by any state, This is not saying half enough for the Georgia official. It requires four times as much brain to write a general introduction worth preserva tion aa it does to write up detailed atatistics ofcounliea; and the Geor gian's work ie so excellent that we can conscientiously recommend it for use at a standard text book in the public schools. It ie the first work of the kind of which we could say much. It is written belli lucidly and alao with discretion. The utmost censure we can bestew on it does not strike at half a page.” Our contemporary earnestly advocates the policy of writing and distributing pamphlet* descriptive of the resources of the southern slates. It claims thai they will do more to attract the right sort of immigrants anything else. Min nesota and other stale* have advertis ed themselves lu this way with the most beneficial results. A Ul'ttK tl AT a MOUNT (From Ua McPofll*. o*., JotmmJ.) A iwsmp of Germany creek, In this county, about seven or eight miles from Thomson ha- fe*ti ■Minmi *>i ■ illllUfil'rbl "years at the home of wildcats and catainaunts and thesheepfolds of those residing in the vicinity have sufTered many depredations from I hose animals, Gael year Jfr/B.

A special dispatch Train Fayetteville, W. Va., say*: Among the oldest families in Wyarning county ia one which hae hitherto bean considered eminently respectable, but a ‘Tegular war” is now said to be raging over tha misdeeds of one of them, who i* a rich farmer. A year ago he tent Ills mother, who waa helpless, to the poor house, hut the authorities, knowing that Iter son was able to give iter better arct mmodations than she could get at Iho infirmary, compelled him to take her home. He then built her a pen jit his yard and gave her the same care as he gave his horses. Dining (he extreme oold weather of tho wittier sha antlered much aud her limbs wore frozen. Oue night in the cold weal her "The crawled from her cold pen to her sen’s door and begged admission, which was refitted, ac cording to the •torflolil by one of the grandchildren. The next morning sho was found in the yard frozen to death. As Soon as the neighbors learned those facts they organized to lynch the matt and tar and feather his wife. He barricaded his house and resisted. In the tight he wound ed on* of his assailants. A messeng er left the place on the night of the first fight for Ihi* place, and saya that there is no doubt that by thia time the man has been lynched. The extraordinary popularity of Ayers Cherry Pectoral is the nat ural result’ of it* use by intelligent people for forty year*. It has in disputably proved itself tho very best known specific for ail colds, coughs, and pulmonary complaints. THE EXPOSITION The nnvarying*talemei:l of every late visitor to the World's Exposition at New Orleans Ie that it is the great est nd grandeslexposiliouever held. In magnitude it is simple Immense;! while in variety of exhibits and com prehension of subjects it has never been rivalled. The earlier reports, its incomplete (ml un finished condi'ion, and influenced by the execrable weather which pre vailed for some six weeks aftir the opening, did the Exposition great injury, and will tic a source of regret to many people wlufin they deterred from viritiug it ami who may not now have the opportunity. Not withstanding the difficulties and dis appointments of the opening anil the first weeks of the Exposition, and the serious financial onbarrassmenu which ensued, the work of complet ing and perfecting iu every depart ment has eteadly progressed until now the Exposition le pronounced com plete in every detail, exceeding in magnitude, scope and interest any exposition ever held. 'j Whtii it is recalled that the diffcl? rnt Exposition buildings cover ninety acres of apace, end that all of Ihiu space ie utilized by exhibits, anil lho*e of the richest, rarest and most jierfect of their kind, our readers can form some (idea of the attrctlon and interest of the World’s Exposition. It will probably be the only industrial enterprise of this kind that the pres- ent generation will hive an upportu nity o' visiting. The financial em barrassments attending the creation of lhU(uow happily relieved by Con gress), and the improbability of any future assistance by Congress to any similar enterprise, will undomitodiy discourage any effort in this ago to establish another. Hence, the opjnr unity of visiting this ought not tube passed. The United Btetos Commissioners for the different States in conjunction with the management have desig nated different days to be kept ami celebrated as the special Slate days of llie various States. Covering these dates the railroad companies have agreed to make a specialty tow excursion rate, lower than any here tofore given. This is done for the purpose of encouraging the fulleet possible attendance. Tlie rates of sccommodation ami entertainment lu Now Orleansjare saifl now to bo-a* low and aa read able as at any prioy season and it 1h any city 6! fit size In the couihtw. The weather Is now perfectly char ming and every visitor returning from there expresses the utmost grat ification and delight at hie experien ces. Our readers should c*6ider well before they permit this opportun ity to pass away. THE KUBB TO WABHXEGTOM CITT. The records of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad show that during inauguration week tho road moved into Washington 401 trains, avera ging 14 cart o the train and 41 per sons to the ear from point* north, east and west. During the same period there ar rived 184 trains from the aonth, averaging seven cars to the train and 52 passengers tothe car. Four hun dred aud twenty-two Pullman cars were handled at Washington by this road during inauguration week. Superintendent Baker saya that thia ia thirteen more cars than the whole number of roads centering at Cnicago ran into the city during the deme eratlc and tepublicau conventions. Thk smai.l nzi-REAsr. ot the public debt during February, which was only a trifle more than three million; shows that in tfae present condition the surplus revenue is not going to be a very perplexing affair. While the iotai decrease for the past seven monhta of the present fiscal year ex ceeds forty-four millions, the most of the decrease occurred during the first three months. If tue present Con gress could have had a little more timo it would have takeu good earft that there should lie no surplus, and it wouldu’t hive reduced tsxttien, either. Perhaps the now Congress will have time to catch it* breath and find out what the country de mands before it goes into the busi ness of voting away the surplus. Waste no time; delays have dan gerous ends! If a member of vour family is suffering with a slight cough or cold, don’t wait until it develops itself iuto consumption, but procure at once a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup and euro that cough. Take Ayer's Sarsaparilla in the spring to purify the blood, invigorate the system, excite the liver to action, end restore the healthy tono and vfg ■ or of tho wholo phymcial mechanism. AYER’S PILLS. A Urge proportion of the diseases which cause human sailering result from derange ment of the stomach, hovels, and liver. A yes’s Cathartic Pills act directly upon these organs, and are especially designed to care the diseases caused by their derange ment, including Constipation, Indiges tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sore, prompt, and pleasant temedy. llie extensive use of these PILLt by eminent physicians in regular prac tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profes sion. These Pills are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from calomel or auy other injurious ingredient. A Sufferer from Beafadis writes: *'Aveb’s Pills are invaluable tome, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your Pills are the only thing 1 could look to for relief. One dose will quickly move my bowels and free my bead from pain. They are the most effective and the easiest physic I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to •peak in their praise, and i always do so when occasion offers. W. L.
