Within the last twenty years, how- p’ er, the whole system of medical practice has been »ged for the better. In diseases or complaints 1 by excessive beat, for instance, tho doctors > longer recommend the reduction of the invalid's t by prostrating modicines. The vast suo- which has attended tho use of Hostetter'a Stomach Bitten as a remedy for debility, has given •van tho most prejudiced members of the old school > insight into the only true and rational theory of Cantharidee, calomel, and overpowering *ei of opium, aro now among the obsolete nos- ■ ef another age. The lancet, once as much h ® legitimate weapon of the physician as the sword |^of the soldier, is seldom drawn from ita case. ■ Principle of life is no longer drained from the > by the quart, and wator gruel for tho strength- i invalid has ceased to be considered an appro ve diet Vigor U the motto of the rational mcm- ■ of the profession, and they understand, at at, the value of a sterling vegetable tonic. So, . with tho people at large; and without consul t- c f» medical men at all, they have adopted the bit- * a household remedy, thereby economising ) cash and health. Noto the fact, that Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters is 1 in bottles only, never in bulk, and that the s springing up in various parts of the coun- J< and sometimoe otferod as substitutes for tho t national specific, are all utterly worthless.

Gone East.—Many of our merchants are now east purchasing their fall and winter stocks of goods, and others still are preparing to leave. Bananas.—S. T. <fc B. P. Walker received yesterday among a lot of bananas a single bunch weighing 9G pounds. This is heavy for lively people like the Walkers. Rejected.—We have a communication on our tablo reflecting severely and unjustly, we think, upon tho present city government, and believing that no good would result from its publication, we must rejeet it. Fight with Knives.—Wo aro informed that twonegro men, named respectively Henry Oliver and Luke McCullum, got to fighting with pocket knives on Thursday last at Midway church, in the western part of this county, in which McCnl. lem was dangerously cut. Oliver ran away soon after tho fight and has not yet been arrested. New Boats.—Tho Combination Boat Club of this city have received two new boats from New York—tho one a paper shell and tho other cedar. Both are very light and trim, and the club is greatly pleased with them. Tho cedar boat has been launched and manned, and tho club will now go into regular practice for tho races at the State Fair. Vicksburg and Brunswick Railroad.—This road is now in running order for thirteen miles ont from Enfaula, in the direction of Clayton, the county seat of Barbonr county. John Black made the first trip out over the road, and in tho exuberance of his feelings he gets off tho fol lowing: “We see tho bluehilla ri-ing, The Barbour streams flows deep, And equal to the lightning’s flash Our iron horse does sweep." After that ho is permitted to seek ropose and retirement for one week. l The Printers’ Festival.—A severe headacho prevented us from attending the printers' fes' tival on Thursday night at the Armory Building, and hence we aro not prepared to speak of it as an eye-witness, but if the half wo hear of it be true, it was one of the most pleasant and en joyable reunions tho disciples of Faust in Macon ever participated in. It was understood to be a watermelon party, but it proved to bo a splen did banquet, attended by a host of pretty girls and many invited guests, who joined the prin ters in a merry danco during tho evening and oontribntod much hilarity and fun for tho oc casion. We much regret that it was hardly pos sible for us to attend, much less than to enjoy ourself. Street Railboad.—We understand that the work on this important cily improvement will commence next week. The cross-tics are now being sawed out, and will be furnished as fast as tho road is gTadcd. Tho whole line, so far as is at present proposed, will be completed, it is thought, by tho 20th of October. The portion of the lino which will be completed first, will run to the Fair Grounds, and wo are glad to know that such is the fact, for it will be a great convenience to hundreds of citizens who would like to visit the grounds every afternoon if they bad an easy and cheap conveyance. Posh tho work, gentlemen, with all possible speed. Trout Hill Debating Society.—A number of young gentlemen residing in the Southern portion of tho city, have recently organized a debating society, and hold their meetings every Wednesday night in Troup Hill Baptist Mission School OhapeL The officers of the society are: J. D. Sullivan, President; Eobt. Reynolds, Se cretary, and T. R. Sullivan, Treasurer. Thero was a full attendance of the members of the So ciety on Wednesday night last, and several of the young speakers acquitted themselves credit ably. It is in such societies as this that tho genius of oratory in tho young finds scope for development, and it is here that tho mind of youth first begins to reason and reflect inde pendently. We hope the young men will pre serve their organization and prosecute with zeal the objects and aims of tho Society. Nice Things, such as Northern Irish Potatoes, Cabbage, Quinces, Sweet Potatoes, Eggs, Fresh Chickens, Country Butter, Fresh Water Trout, Bananas, Apples, Imported Crackers, Caramel Cocoanut, and Augusta Watermelons,can always be found at S.
