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, and the fae simile of tho signature of the firm; soe that the spelling is all oorrect, and thus mako sure cf the genuineness of the article you buy.

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 Brown & Co., have just received: Harper’s Weekly, Frank Leslie’s, Every Saturday, Waver- ly, Scottish American, Golden Age, Rural New Yorker, Scientific American, Yankee Notions, Clipper, Varieties, Police Gazette, and the late doilies. Godey for September, World of Fash ion and Die Modenwelt, Sunday Magazine, Good Words and Good Words for tho Young for An. gust, Braithwait for July, A Terrible tempta tion. 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. A LADY, "POSSESSING some capital, and desirous of in- I vi:rt.:.g it in r. first-class business, well eetab- naned and prosperous in all respects, will find it to her advantage to address at once, MAOON. ftngSeodtf Box K. K., Macon, Ga. 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. McLean’s Cordial and Blood Purifier is the best tonic and blood alterative in the world. jnne4-Cm. Comity Agricultural Office and Museum. Macon, Ga., July 24, 1871. Hon. G. T. Ward, Ordinary of Bibb County, etc., etc., etc. : Sib—We, the undersigned, the President and vice-Presidents of the Bibb county Agri cultural Society, representing the various sec tions of the county, anxious to enlarge the use fulness of the society desire to establish a libra ry and mnseum of agriculture, as well as a read ing room where onr members can hold their regular meetings, read the agricultural newspa pers and periodicals and interchange views and experiences. We feel assured that you take an interest in the success of our undertaking, as promotive of the welfare of Bibb county, and therefore feel encouraged to ask you if you deem it compati ble with tho public interests to assign a suitable room in the new Court-house for the use of the Bibb County Agricultural Society, for the pur poses above enumerated. We have the honor to remain, Very respectfully yours, T. G. Holt, Jr., John P. Fort, Wm. M. Browne, J. A. Whitesides, James Lloyd, S. L Gustin, James Tinley, Wm. Lundy, W. Cleveland. Ordinary’s Office, > Macon, Ga., July 27, 1871. j Capt. T. G. Holt, Jr., Jno. P. Port, Esq., Gen. Wm. M. Browne, and others : 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.

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.
