We are in the mid at of the aeaaon of chiUa and fever. Tbo anro preventive af this diatreoaing mal ady ia Hoatetter'a Stomach Bitten. A emote of that wboieaome vegetable tonic will render an attack impoaaible. Take the bint and drop an anchor to windward. Weak atomic ha are meet liable to be (Reordered late in the antnmn, when the change# of tempera ture are marked and frequent. Hoatetter’a Bitten fortifies the etomach against the effect* of thete va riations. Ret dyspeptics make a note of the fact and drop an anchor to windward. The liver ia more eenaitive when the weather ia continually alternating between the warmth of snm- mcr and the cold of winter than at any other pe riod of the year. This ia peculiarly tho aeaeon of such alterations. Let the bilious remember *n., Hoetetter's Stomach Bitten is essentially an anti- bilious medicine, and drop an anchor to windward. The wisest plan ia to forestall eviL Tbo next beet thing is to arrest it. For disorden of the etomach, irregularities of the bowels, and all periodical feven, take, as aoon aa the complaint developea itself, Hoe tetter's Stomich Bitters.

Tn* PnmosoniY or Toxic Sttxct.uxts.—Some enbatancea have tbe power of influencing the changes which go forward in the human tisanes, witbont themselves taking any integral part in these changes. Salt, for instance, hastens transforma tion and waste,and consequently creates tbe neces sity for a more liberal diet; while, on tbe other band, alcohol retards change and waste. On this principle, Dr. Fitcb, in hie Bitters, lias furnished a preparation having among other properties that of preserving both tbo materials and tbo forces of the system; and in this, as in othor things, ’’A penny saved ia a penny gained.” But it is not only in this negative way that Dr. Fisch'a remedy works for the building np of tbe physical man. While it holds back tbo wasting processes, it spars forward tbe repairing processes. It promotes tho flow of tbe aUmentstive juices in tbe month, tbe etomach and tho liver; and thus enables tbo system to utilize more food—to mako moro blood. The scriptural assertion that “tho blood thereof is tbo lire there of," is tbo expression of a physiological fact: and the amount of food which a man can eat with relish, and digest, affords the exact measure and index of tbe man's strength. And when once Dr. Fiscb's remedy baa given tbe start to an improvement in ttiia direction, the nnaided energies of nature take np the work and carry it forward, and thus render tbo amelioration permanent.

The Chicago Fibe.—In onr yesterday’s issue we said that the Queen Insurance Company, of Liverpool and London, stood alone in the fact that it sustained no losses in Chicago. We since learn that it was a mistake, as Captain W. W. Carnes informs us that he Is representing two (one English and one Georgia) companies that had not one cent of risks in that ill-fated eity.

Visitors should not fail to see this novel sight. The Florence Maehine has won quite a repnta- tion among the ladies for durability, rapidity and nest and substantial work, and we have no donbt will, in dne time, find a place in almost every household. _ _ One Thousand pounds Catawba and Isabella grapes, to arrive in time to supply frnit dealers for the Fair, at Corpnt's.

Some folks only seU whisky by the hundred dollars worth at a time bat onr live young friends Campbell 4 English put it out by tho thousand dollars worth. Mr. English was in onr office yesterday afternoon with one of the most pleasant smiles on his good-natured face we ever saw. He had done a big day's work—had made good sales, and was tickled highly by bis lack. We are glad to know that they are doing so well, and believe them to be entirely worthy of every bit of patronage that may be given them. Fbesh Oysters always on hand, at S. T. 4 B. P. Walker's. _ The Weathxh.—If it would only rain a small shower to settle the dost, this weather would be decidedly lovely. It is neither too cool nor too hot, bat after the business of the day opens the dust is really stifling. The wagons and drays pass np and down the streets raising a perfect cloud behind them, but despite it all, there still continues a grand rush at the saloon and groce ry establishment of W. P. Carlos, on Mulberry street His business has been better for the past few days than at any time daring the sea son, and so long aa be keeps folly up to his pres ent standard, (which he is snre to do) an in crease, rather than a decrease will snrely fol low. Visitors to the Fair who wish to be treated in elegant style to every delicacy tho Northern and Southern market affords, would do well to call upon him. Feesh Black Fish and Mullet.—We will have for sale this morning a fine lot fresh. Call early and secure some. S. T. 4 B. P. Walker, 88 Cherry street. A Woed to the Business Men ox Macon.— We may perhaps be presuming a little when we offer a suggestion to business men, but we mean it in no dictatorial spirit nor do we mean to in trude onr own pi irate notions upon them. Bat in this instance we cannot be accused of very great presumption, ss the subject upon which we propose to make a suggestion is one of gen- end interest to elk Most of the yonng men in the city who are employed in the different bus iness bouses are anxious to be present, for a short time at least, at the Fair and witness the boat and trotting races that are to take place on Thursday and Friday. Not a few are members of tho different boat clubs. The business men of Atlanta closed their doors for one entire day, and snrely onr employers are as liberally in clined toward their employees as those of the Gate City. Bnt the suggestion we wonld make is this: That instead of dosing one whole day the business houses be dosed at, say 1 o’clock p. M., on both Thursday and Friday. By so doing (dne notice being given to that effect) parties coming from the country near by, and also from a distance, could make their pur chases sad transact all their business in the forenoon, giving the afternoon to the worn-down employees for recreation and profit to them selves by inspecting the many curiosities and material improvements that will be on exhibi tion, and witnessing tbe races that are to take place on each of those days. We verily believe that nothing will be lost to the merchants by so doing, bnt on the contrary the yonng men will feel a debt of gratitude resting npon them that will retnm them to their duties with redoubled energies, more fnlly resolved to do their whole dnty than ever before. We believe the sugges tion a good one, and hope onr merchants and other business men will take it into considera tion. Ths Fun Gbouxds.—Yesterday was a lively day at the Fair Grounds. Hundreds of ladies were engaged in the decoration of Floral Hall with wreaths, festoons, flsga and banners, and the result was simply superb. Parties exhibit ing goods were like bees in a hive, each endeav oring to render by extranions appliances, bis own particular assignment of spaoe as attractive as it could be made, and the taste displayed in this direction in many instances was of itself worth; of a preminm. Tho interior of Floral Hall (as yet but half filled with goods) presents a “grand spectacular appearance.” A large number of life-sized statues, busts, ete., were placed in position to-day. Among them were copies of the celebrated Venus di Medici, Ceres, Bachanalia and other antiques, statuettes of Flora, the Greek Slave, Henry Clay, boats of Washington, Franklin and Sir Walter Soott, and numerous fancy figures. Many fine paintings have been hung on the walls of the piotnre gallery, and numerous en tries that have been made in this department are waiting to be hung. The gronnds will be lighted np this evening to learn if any imperfections exist in the pro posed plan of so doing. Workmen are engaged in laying down the track for tho “one-legged looomotive” in the enclosure of the half mile track, in the centre of which Mayor Huff has caused a fine statue of Mercury to be placed. The telegraph office will be ready to receive messages this morning, and with a branch ex- press office and a special post-office will prove a great convenience to tho visitors to the gronnds. The Society flig has been hoisted over the main entrance. It simply bears tho name of the Society in bine letters on a white ground. As an instanco of the rapidity with which work ia done there, a large sign was placed on Pre minm Hall last evening, the wooden portion of which was sawed from tho log in the morning. A fine foot, bridge has been erected over Woodruff Creek to Regatta Island, thus giving the ladies a chance to visit it dry shod. Tho two fountains will be finished this morn- ing, and will add greatly to the appaaraneo of the gronnds. Tbe sprinklors were at work all last night, and this morning the dust will be nowhere. Weston, the champion walkist, reaches the oity this evening at 8:20, and wiU commence walking on Monday afternoon. You can get a genuine imported Havana Ci gar for only 10 cents, at the New York Grocery Store. . Lots of nice things jnst received for the Fair, at 8. T. 4 B. P. Walker's, 88 Cherry street. BY TELEGRAPH. Gband illumination at Pike’s Dollar Store to- night. Lite Insdeance.—How many poor widows and orphans are left unprovided for by thought less husbands and fathers. The system of life insurance, as practiced at the present day, has placed it within tho power of every man, by laying aside a small snm each year and properly investing tho same in a policy in some safe and reliable company, to provide a handsome sup port for tbe dear ones after he has departed. The old, old story of the uncertainty of life has been heard until men become indifferent. After providing for a man's own spiritual interests the most important objoct upon which his every energy can be bent is that of leaving a com pliancy for wife and little ones when he shall be called away from them. The only point to be settled is as to tho most prompt and substan tial company in which to invest their yearly savings. We can bnt judgo tho fnture by the paBt, and when a company has always here- tofoio paid its losses without delay, other things being equal, it is reasonable to sup pose it will continue the same. Hero let ns call attention to the St. Lonis Mutual, of which Messrs. Burke 4 Cobb are agents in onr city. The subjoined letter from Col. Hardeman will explain itself, and we offer no apology for i's Insertion in onr local colnmn: Macon, Ga., October 14, 1871. Meurf.

Commend ing your company to favorable consideration, I am, sirs, very respectfully, Thos. Hasdeman. DAY DISPATCHES. Philadelphia, October 20.—The Ledger says the faiinro of C. T.

Mob* Entbies.—The entries for exhibition at the State Fair may be classed tinder two heads —the Useful and the Beautiful. To many the “usefnl” department will be most attractive, while to perhaps a still larger number the “beau tiful ’ will be specially so. Prominent among the latter class will be found some fine speci mens of art produced by our friend Pngh. He is a genius in his line, and all who wish life-like pictures of any kind, from the smallest gem to the fall life-sized portrait, wonld do well to give him a call, corner of Second and Mulberry streets.

The Billiard Saloon is separated from the bar so that parties who do not desire to visit the drinking department, cun have a social, quiet game of billiards. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Eating too Fast.—There is a groat deal more danger in eating too fast, than in eating too much. In fact, if the food is sufficiently mas ticated, before swallowing, it is almost impossi ble to overload the stomach. We American people are always in a hurry. We never have time to eat. Everything we do is done in n trot. The consequence is we are a nation of dys peptics. But nature has kindly furnished ns with remedies gashing from onr hill and mountain sides. The mineral waters that glide so softly away through field and woodland are laden with treasures, whose vslne can never be estimated. Prominent among these is the Excelsior Spring at Saratoga, whose healing virtues can now be enjoyed by all, whether able to visit the spring or not. At the drag store of G. E. Sassdorff it can be found as pure as when it gushed from native rock*. It is a mild and gentle aperient, and persona needing such a medicine would do well to give it a trial. His house is also sup plied with chemicals, paints, oils, fancy toilet articles and everything else kept in a first-class drag establishment. All the delicacies of the season, at the Geor gia No. 2. ^ Oua Peices Ccbexnt.—We give a brief daily report of our grocery market, and once a week we try to mike it out in foil. It will be seen that only the groceries are qnoted, for the sim ple reason that to give a detailed report of prices of dry goods, etc., wonld occupy too much space. But dealers below and purchasers must not infer thorefrom that our market is not sup. plied with acrytiung that they want. We have some very Urge wholsalo dry goods houses who can famish any and everything wanted at New York prioes. Prominent among these is tho honso of J. B. Ross 4 S. T. Coleman, whose advertisement appears in to-day’s issue. Wo have looked through their stock and find it to I A fine selection of Rogers’ scissors, pocket- be very full in both dry goods and shoes. Call I knives, razors and straps, portmonaies, walking and seo them. * canes, etc., at E. J. Johnston’s. octlO lOt Race this Evening.—A pacing match will take pUce at tho Fair Gronnds this evening be tween the horses of^Messrs. Foonds and Marr. The programme is mile heats—best two in three—and the hoar sharp four. Sebious Accident.—We regret to learn that at a late hour last night, Mr. Geo. F. Wing, a printer of this city, while working off a job, had his left hand caught in the press and in jured so severely as to necessitate the amputa tion of three of his fingers. Dr. Fitzgerald is in attendance on the sufferer. Roow Foe Axotheb on the Street Railroad Cars daring Fair week, bnt notice is given in onr advertising columns that no money will be received on the cars. Tickets are for sale at several business houses in ths city, and at all the hotels. Persons wishing to ride wonld do well to notice the advertisement, and save trouble, by procuring tickets in advance. One Mole All Bight.—Wo hear occasional ly of an insurance company coming ont whole footed from the Chicago fire, and it will be well for onr business men to watch with a hawk’s eye for those tint are most solvent The fol lowing dispatch was received on yesterday by Mr. S. M. Farrow, agent in our city for the Pacific Insurance Company, of San Francisco, California, dated October 19: “We make provision for payment of all losses and resume business immediately. Assessments will make good all impairments ol capital. Act with promptness accordingly. A. J. Ralston, Vice-President. Yon will accept risks.
