TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
j • - - Fort Valley Lodge, No. 110, F. A. M.1
Regular meeting, May 11,1870. i
The following preamble and reeoltuions were un
animously adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased the Great Architect of
tho universe, in the dispensation of His alwise pro
vidence to snmmons from us our highly esteemed
and much beloved Brother William J. 8loase, who
departed this life on tho morning of the 6th of May,
1870, aged 43 years, 4 months and 20 days.
Although he was cut down in the prime of life
and in the midst of his usefulness, yet he gave the
most satisfactory evidence of a well grounded hope
of eternal life beyond the grave. His trust was in
God. He was an acceptable and exemplary mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, for
many years, and a worthy and much beloved broth
er of the Mystic Tie, always ready to respond to the
wants of the distressed and the relief of human suf
fering. Hence we are happy in believing that he
has been called from the perishable objects of this
world to the enjoyment of the eaints everlasting
rest. And, that, although his earthly house of this
tabernacle is dissolved, he has a building not made
wjth hands eternal in the Heavens. Therefore we
would submissively bow, with humble resignation
to Thy providence, Oh! God; and trust that through
Thy mercy, our Iobs is his eternal grin.
Therefore Resolved, That we regret and lament
>tho deep affliction that has fallen upon the relatives
and friends of our departed brother, and we hereby
>offer them our sympathy and condolence for the
great loss they have sustained.
Resolved, That we wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days, and the furniture and
jewels of the Lodge be clothed in mourning tie a
token of respect for our deceased brother.
Resolved, That these preamble and resolutions be
spread upon onr minute book, and a blank page of
the same be reserved for the rccoidof his name,
age and degrees.
Resolved, That a copy be furnished his sisterun-
der seal of our Lodge—and also a copy be furnished
the editors of the Macon Telegraph and Messenger
for publication.

The Popular Tonic of the Age.—The day has
gene by when a medicine without merit could com
mand and retain the confidence of the world. Ad
vertising induces the public to by many things, hut
in this shrewd and thoughtful age words will not
suffice without proofs, and it is by the exercise of
their private judgment men determine the rela
tive value of the various articles recommended to
their notice through the business columns of news
papers. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have now been
subjected to this searching ordeal for more than
eighteen years, and the result is that it. stands at
the head of the class of rcme-lies to which it be
longs. It has distanced and lived down innumera
ble competitors, and is to-day the Standard Vegeta
ble Tonic of the Western world. Tho 1 ippy effects
which have followed its use in cases if dyspepsia,
biliousness, nervous affeotions, in term, t tent fevers,
and general debility, and as a constitutions! invig-
orant, have entitled it to universal, confidence.
Nothing can ever shake its repn : ;< . r it is based
on the individual experiences oi *... yi thousands
of witnesses, embracing prominent and well known
citizens of every profeeeion, occupation and class
There is not a city, town or settlement in the United
States where it is not a medicinal staple. No drug
gist or general dealer would consider his stock
complete without it, and the returns of the interna;
revenue department' show that its sales exceed
those of any other proprietor restorative manu
factured on this side of the Atlantic. The beaefi
cial results derived during a long series of years,
from the use of Hostetter’s Bitters, have convinced
the whole community, that the only true way to
restore to health a broken down or debilitated sys
tem, or to put the human body on its defense when
exposed to unwholesome influences, is to invig
orate, regulate mi purify it at one and the same
time.

I.ii pman's Great German Bitters are simply
medicinal cordial, in which are the concentrated ex
tracts and juices of some of the rarest and beat
herbs and barks known in the medical kingdom, and
are expressly imported by the proprietors of these
bitters, put up carefully by German chemists, and
impregnated with choice epirita to prevent them
from souring. They are daily winning golden opin
ions from onr leading men, and ladies wiU find them
the beet strengthener and invigorator known, bring
health to tbe sick, and despondent will be made
heerful by a timely use of them.

Complicated Mechanism.—Are you aware that
you are wonderfully and fearfully made, and that
the complicated and delicate mechanism of the
human body can be entirely disarranged by one
part being out of .order, justaS the springs, wheels
and cogs of a clock refuse to go, if even an infiitesr-
mal portion of tbe works is wanting.
being acquainted with this fact, how surprising it
is to see hundreds of'sensible men and women going
through life like a creaking door, always complain
ing and yet never resorting to any means of im
proving their health.
Any little violent exercise for a few minutes will
occasion great distress, beating of the heart, throb
bing of the temples and labored and impeded res
piration—this is weakness or debility, a thin and
impoverished condition of the blood, the pabulum
of life. ”. "■
Mature, by these symptoms, is making & requisi
tion for assistance and support. The machinery is
out of order—a screw is loose somewhere in the
animal meebanism—won't you repair it ? Won't
you raise up the digestive apparatus to a healthy
condition, by a tonic and strengthening medicine.
Invalids, dyspeptics, nervous and delicate women,
nursing mothers, listen to a word of adijoe! Take
a course of Solomons’ Bitters and you will be most
aesuredly restored to your wonted health. •: r

medicine, leaves no doubt that, it »• a safe and re

from Prof. R. S. Newton, M. D., President of the E.
Medical College, City of New York, that speaks in
high terms of its curative properties, and gives a
special recommendation of Koskoo to the practi
tioners of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been officially
endorsed by the Faculty of any of the medical eol-
eges, and reflecta great credit upon the sMl of Dr.

The Wife, both before and after she has become
a matron, will., find Plantation Bitter* literally a
present help in time of trouble; and under no cir- •
cumslancesor conditions can it-prove otherwise
than beneficial. During rlursing it may bo taken
as an invigorant, with great advantage both to moth
er and infant; and when maternal anxiety is awak
ened by the failing appetite, unnatural languor and
general indisposition of a delicate daughter, there
is no tonic or alterative which will work s»ch a
rapid and healthful change in the condition of the
fair invalid as Plantation Bitters. For the morning
lassitude and depression of spirits, caused by late
hours and what is called fashionable dissipation,
there ia nothing comparable with ihi« famous veg
etable restorative.
Persons who have onoe tasted Blanc
Puddings, Custards or Creams made from Sea Moss
Fariue, and served with good rich cream or milk,
will never need coaxing to use it, as it makes ono
of the most delicious, nutritious, economical and
health-giving articles of food ever provided by a
bountiful Providence.

Why Will Ye Die?—Death, or what is worse, is
the inevitable result of continued suspension of
the menstrual flow. It ia a condition which should ‘
not be trifled with. Immediate relief is the only
safeguard against constitutional ruin. Iu all cases
of suppression, suspension or other irregularity of
the “courses,” Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator
is the only sure remedy. It acts by giving tone
to the nervous centres, improving the blood and
determining directly to the organs of menstruation.
It is a legitimate prescription, and the most intelli
gent Doctors use it. Prepared by L. H. Bcadfield,
Druggist, Atlanta, Ga , at 91.50 per bottle, and sold
by respectable Druggists everywhere.
