Help for the Nervous Whore is it to ho found?
cries tho trembling victim of nervous debility. Not
in the tavern dram; that fires up the circulation for
a moment, and is Buoceeded by collapso. Not in pur
gative pills, or a Lenten diet, but in an invigorant
and restorative in whioh tho tonio elements are
united with general apeTiont and alterative proper
ties. When Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters was intro
duced nearly twenty years ago, this important ob
ject was first attained. This poacefnl and active
vegetable specific is as j ustly colobratod for Us cures
of nervous diseases, as for tho absolute certainty
with which it relieves dyspepsia and biliousness.
The hot weather toward tho closo of summer gene
rally aggravates diseases of a nervous type, creating
a degree of f ooblonoes which is boyond measure
distressing. Under such circumstances rally the
bodily energies with a course of Hostettor’e Stomach
Bitters. Of all tonics, it is tho most satisfactory in
its operations, and tho loast exciting. It braces
tho nerves np to their natural tension, bnt not be
yond it, so there is no reaction. It has other
properties, however, than those of a nervine, and
M a blood depnrent and moderate aperient, is
superior to any other medicine of tho day.
Fraud, however, Is on tho alert. The colebrity
of the original medicine has given rise to scores of
counterfeits and imitations. Examine tlio label,

New Cotton.—Tho second bale of new cot
ton was received yesterday by Messrs. Jonathan
Collins & Son, from Messrs. J. L. & R. H. Cobb,
of Cuthbert. It was from the plantation of R.
F. Ivey, of Baker county, the same place from
which the new bale of tho day before was re
ceived. It weighed 338 pounds and classed low
middling. It was sold to It. B. Watson at 17
cents.
For the Ladies.—Brown & Co. received yes
terday their nsnal Saturday evening’s supply of
late news and literary papers, magazines, &e.
Among the latter are Gody’s Lady’s Book for
September, and that brilliant foreign fashion
publication. Die Modenwelt, for August. Call
at any moment this morning till 10 o’clock, and
supply yourself.
A “ Varmint.”—Mr. James Speights, of this
county, killed a wild cat tho other day near this
city, on tho opposite side of the river, which
weighed twenty-seven pounds. A friend brought
us its fore-feet and claws with which wo hope
to mako a lucky “scratch” of some sort before
long. If Red-head Hams don’t behave himself
while in town, we’ll rake him a time or two
with them.
Cbanoes of Food in the Mouth.—Man, if he
would preserve the fabrie and maintain tho func
tions of his body, must consume food. This must
be converted into blood, upon which tho whole sys
tem draws for whatever it requires. To make blood,
ths food must bo completely transformed. First it
U subjected to tbe mechanical action of the teeth.
Bat no mechanical action can liquify solids. There
fore during mastication the saliTa is poured into the
mouth. The saliva is alkaline, containing salts of
•oda, potass and limo. It servos to lubricate the
mouth and moisten tho food, so that it may assume
the pasty condition. Its chemical constituents are
needed to convert tho starchy elements (useless as
starch) of bread, potatoes, etc., into sugar. Thus,
ifa little pure starch be chewed, it will become
**Mt, being converted into sngar by tho saliva.
The saliva also converts sugar into lactic acid,
which the stomach demands as a condition of its
action. If food is swallowed listlessly and without
appetite, it is certain that the first conditions of di
gestion have been violated. The food is thrown
“prepared into the stomach. Tho gastric juice
cannot do the office of the ealiva. Tho result is
dyspepsia. Now by a thorough knowledge of the
natural laws governing digestion and nutrition, and
by a skillful manipulation of carefully selected
stimulant and tonic herbs, Dr. Fisch, in his Bitters,
has provided a remedy which, acting directly upon
the nervous system, stimulates appetite, and, as the
resulting reflex of this, promotes the secretion both
of ths gastric juico and of tho saliva, thereby on
nbhng the alimentative organa to convert the mate
rtola of the food into nutritions blood, and to trans
form the quiescent forces of the food into the active
forces of vitality. auglleod&wlw

Fine Chewi q Tobacco.—We have from tho
wholesale drug establishment of Messrs. Hunt,
Rankin & Lamar, a few samples of the cele
brated Granby chewing tobacco, and as a devotee
of the weed, we pronounce it equal to anything
of the kind in use. It has a beautiful color, is
very pure and delightfully flavored. The use of
tobacco is said to bo an evil, bnt if people will
indulge in its use, they should get the best, and
they will find it at Hunt, Rankin & Lamar’s.
Strange but True.—At the beginning of tho
summer every one was predicting a very sickly
season, or, in other words, a rich harvest for
the doctors or “ pill rollers,” and yet our city
is much healthier than it was this time last
year. How now are wo to account for these
false prophecies ? There is bnt one way, and
that is this, Messrs. J. H. Zett.tn & Co. have
been selling the pnrest and best medicines at
very low prices, and thus enabled every one to
bny enough medicine to ward off the coming
dangor. Take heed!
Macon is not only tho best cotton market in
Georgia, bnt it is also the best drag market. It
is a fact worthy of notice that the wholesale
Druggists, Messrs. Hunt, Rankin A Lamar, are
determined that no trade shall pass by Macon
which legitimately belongs to her. This es
tablishment is now furnishing Kerosene Oil,
Window Class, Putty, and nearly everything in
their line of business as low os the same can be
brought here by retailers. Dealers and others
should call to see them before Bonding North
for goods.
Spotswood Hotel.—We see that the quiet^
bnt once watchful and enterprising proprietor
of this splendidly kept house, has secured the
services of Mr. J. M. Hunt, a gentleman well
known in business circles, and, being a native
of Georgia, is widely acquainted with the best
families in our good old commonwealth, with
his able assistance in the office, and the veteran
caterer, MajorMaclellan, in the commissary de
partment, selecting, cooking, carving and serv
ing in his own invincible style, there can be no
doubt of the success of the Spotswood in the
hands of our friend Captain Tom Harris.
Our readers have no doubt noticed the regu
lar and extensive advertisements of our principal
druggists, which appear every Sunday morning.
It is a fair criterion of the heavy business in
this line dono in Macon. Oar popular Mulberry
street druggist, Dr. G. Sussdorff, a few days
since from New York, has been followed by his
select purchases, which being attractively dis
played, together with his previous large stock,
have made his store a perfect gem, and we can
now boast as fine a drag store as any in the
State. Call at the comer of Third and Mul-
bery streets, and see “how it is yourself.”
Hazor.—Another lot of that choico Hazor
flour receivod at Small & Gamble’s wholesale
flour house. Most of our retail merchants aro
selling this splendid flour now, and in a short
time, we predict, the Hazor to be acknowledged
tho standard flour. Messrs. Small & Gamble
aro the sole agents in this market, and all or
ders should be addressed to them. In buying
flour do not forget the Hazor, for it is guaran
teed to be the best. Merchants aro especially
invited to call and select from tho large and
varied stock of flour, now on hand at Small &
Gamblo’e, Third street.
Hotels are either overgrown nuisances, or
else large families where every wish is gratified
by accommodations which a smaller menage
could ill support. The Messrs. Rice, of the
American House, Boston, keep this fact con
stantly in view, and their hotel constantly in
creases in public favor.
Don’t Forget these Two Facts !! That
Wing & Solomon are the agents of tho Grover
& Baker Sewing Machines and of the L. & M.
Spectacles—the best in use.

Miss Balkley’s Young Ladies’ Seminary at
Tarrytown, N. Y., held its annual commence
ment on Thursday, 22d nit., and the Argus of
that city says the andienco room was crowded.
The graduating class consisted of seven young
ladies, one of whom was from Washna, N. H.,
and another from Savannah, Ga. The exercises
passed off to the great satisfaction of the assem
bly present, and were closed with a parting ad
dress, by Rev. Dr. Todd. The Argus says the
school is a very fine one. We see that Rnlzer’s
French College, in New York, conferred upon
Miaq Bulkley tho other day the honorary de
gree of Doctor of Philosophy. It was an honor
well deserved, says the Christian Intelligencer
of that city.

Gentlemen:—Your communication of the
24th inst. in behalf of the “Bibb County Agri
cultural Society,” asking the assignment of a
suitable room in the new Court-house for the
use of said society has been received to-day.
In reply I have the honor to state, that as an
individual and in my official capacity as Ordinary
of Bibb county, I will be pleased to do all in
my power (when compatible with the public
welfare) to advance the interest and enlarge the
usefulness of yonr society. If there is a suit
able room in the Oonrt-housa not already dedi
cated to publio uses, I will be pleased to assign
tho same to the “Bibb County Agricultural So
ciety,” for the use3 set forth in yonr favor of
tho 25th inst.
I take pleasure in extending to you an invita
tion to call and examine with me the building,
and mako your selection of a suitable room,
when I will be able to give you a definite an
swer. I have the honor to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
O. T. Ward,
Ordinary Bibb county.
Macon, Ga., August 11, 1871.
In accordance with the purport of tho above
letter of the Ordinary of Bibb county, a room
has been assigned by that officer to the Bibb
County Agricultural Society in the new Court
house for a museum, and one also for a place
for holding their meetings, ana tuo order tnere-
for issued and entered on the minutes of the
Court of Ordinary.
The design of tho Bibb County Agricultural
Society in occnpping this room, is to use tho
samo as a place for the exhibition of rare and
valuable products of the soil of all kinds that
may be produced in this county, and to intro
duce and test, in a thorough and proper man
ner, the seed and plants of the earth, and to
improve those products adapted to this climato
which may be both profitable and useful to the
producer, and to forward and assist any enter
prise calculated to advance agricultural interests.
The latititndein which wo live, and the coun
try around us is more capable of a diversity of
products, and producing them in a higher state
of perfection than any climate or country in
the world. All of the products of the Temper
ate and many of the products of the Torrid
Zone may be produced in a great degree of per
fection in this climate. As an illustration, there
may bo seen now in a garden growing in the
open Mr in the city of Macon the most impor
tant frnit of the tropic, a bananna plant twenty
feet tall, bearing fruit. And the farmers of
the county of Monroe, adjoining us, have fully
attested and proven the fact that clover and the
grasses can be grown to as great perfection in
thi3 climato as they can be North of us.
It is farther deBired, as a material addition, to
connect with thiB society a museum of speci
mens of wood, minerals, soils, relics, and any
geological specimens of importance appertain
ing to the soil of this country. There lie un
heeded in the soil of most of the counties of
our State materials which need only the ener
getic power and attention of onr people to add
much to their wealth. We are informed by an
intelligent and old citizen of the city of. Macon
that there lies in this county a large bed of
coral from which has been burned a fine quality
of lime, and might now be worked to advan
tage ; and that also, in the lower part of Bibb
county there lies a large bed of kaolin clay,
from which a good article of fire-brick, tiling,
stoneware, and other articles may be manufac
tured. This same bed of clay runs through a
portion of Baldwin county near U3, and is now
being worked and developed by an enterprising
citizen of that county, Mr. Henry Stephens, and
and we notice that the firebrick now used in our
grates, and the tiling used in the sewers of this
oity and Atlanta, aro being purchased from hi3
furnace; and in quality and price they are said
to be equal to the same article of Philadelphia
manufacture so long used by our people. We
are glad to hear that tho enterprise of Mr. Ste
phens is being carried on so profitably and suc
cessfully. There are large quantities of yellow
ochre in this county which may be obtained
with but little expense; fine specimens of crys-
tahzed garnet stones have been found in the
limits of the city of Macon, which are capable
of being manufactured into beautiful orna
ments. Also, near tho cemetery lot in this city,
some years since, an industrious man, with no
implements but a pick and spade, obtained
gold, by the simple way of panning tho earth,
at the rate of forty cents per day for his labor.
It is further desired for this mnseum to ob
tain a specimen of the various soils of different
portions cf the county, so that they may be
chemically annalized by a competent chemist
for the purpose of ascertaining the proper in
gredients necessary to enrich them, and the
proper plan for their cultivation.
It is also desired to annex thereto a cabinet of
the different woods of the growth of this county,
to show their capacity of sustaining a high pol
ish and their use for the manufacture of fur
niture and other materials in daily use amoDgst
us. The forest below us on the river abounds
in ihe finest quality of sweet and tuplar gnm
timber suitable for making furniture, and sus
ceptible of the highest polish. Also oak, capa
ble of being manufactured into barrel staves
and other articles of great use among us. A
short time since an enterprise for the purpose
of manufacturing the oak timber on the river
into staves was commenced with a prospect of
great success, bnt by carelessness of the engi
neer in charge of the works, a large part of the
property of the company was lost, causing the
enterprise to be abandoned.
Many articles of historic interest might be
added to this collection concerning the imple
ments in use and the life and habits of the orig
inal inhabitants of onr county and State, whose
home we now inhabit and whose name and race
will soon be lost forever.
It is the hope of the Bibb County Agricul
tural Society to so foster this undertaking as
to add much to the practical benefit of onr cit
izens and tend to develop the wealth and re
sources of our county.
An organized system tending to the develop
ment of the agricultural and mineral resources
in different counties of our State would cer
tainly add much to our wealth and distribute
our money at home. Planter.

Synopsis or Weather Statement.
WarDep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,)
Washington, D. O., August 12, 7:40 F. u. >
The barometer remains without material
change at the Rooky Mountain stations. The
high pressure north of Wisconsin Friday after
noon now extends from northern Michigan east
ward into Canada. The low barometer in New
England is central in Massachusetts, with
threatening weather and rain southwest. The
barometer has fallen very generally from Min
nesota to Kansas, and in tho Gulf States. The
temperature is lower than yesterday in Lakes
Erie and Ontario, bnt has risen somewhat from
Louisiana to Georgia. Rain has been reported
from tho Southern and Gulf States and from
the Lower Lakes to Tennessee. Partiallycloudy
and clear weather now prevails west of the Ale-
ghany and Blue Ridge. Smoky haze continues
at Detroit. Probabilities: Tho barometer will
probably continue to fall north and west of Illi
nois, and to a less extent from Texasto Florida,
and local rains aro probable for these regions
on Sunday. A disturbance of some extent will
probably be developed in central Florida. The
light local storms now prevailing on the coast of
North Carolina and Now England will probably
be dissipated, and rising barometer with warm
weather prevail on Sunday, from Virginia to
the Lower Lakes and New England.
San Francisco, August 12.—Advices from
Tuczon, Arizona, state that Gen. Crook’s cam
paign against the Apaches is proceeding rigor

Paris, August 12.—In tho Assembly to-day,
M. Kent, of the Left Centre, moved that the
title of President of the Republic be conferred
npon Thieis, and that all powers that he has
heretofore exercised as Chief Executive bo pro
longed for a period of three years; that he
moreover be entrusted with the promulgation
of and execution of tho laws; that he be author
ized to remove embassadors; that his official
residence be at tho place where the Assembly
may sit; that he be lodged at the expense of

point members of council, ministers, diplo
matic agents, and military and naval command
ers, and that ministers appointed by him shall
be responsible for their acts to the Assembly.
M. Ader, of the Right, made a counter mo
tion, expressing confidence in Thiers and con
tinuing his present powers. Thiers, who was
present, asked for a vote of urgency on both
proposals, and amid great excitement they were
declared argent. The court-martial holds long
