A prominent Bepnblican Benator, wbo has
lately bad tbe opportunity of seeing the South
for himself, hoe remarked sinoe hit return <N»*
if the present condition of affairs continues,
rach Stales it South Carolina and Florida, for
instance, mu»t inevitably be Africanized. The
result, of course, must be the exodus of tbe
whites, the niter decay of material prosperity,
and ultimately tbe relapsing of those States Into
o wilderness. These observations apply equal
ly as well to Louisiana as to the States men
tioned.
Yes, and this “ Republican S.nttor ” and bis
party friends were warned that such results
would surely follow their Infamous legislation
known as tbe reconstruction acts, bnt with what
success? They were told, et the time, that
they wonld reap this very whirlwind from" the
seed they sowed with each cruel ingenuity and
pitiless persistency; bnt those who so warned
them were peopled, and scorned, and anathema,
tired as “rebelsand traitors” who onght to be
thankfnl that tbeir miserable lives were spared,
without presuming to question or criticfxa tbe
wisdom, and moderation, and magnanimity of
the immaculate party of “great moral ideas
and “ Christian statesmen." e
And furtherance: This Benator and his
friends, from Grant to Oakes Ames or Colfax—
up or down, as the cate may be—have never
failed to denonnoe and defeat any and all meas
ures that have been proposed in Congress to al
leviate the eonditlon of the Southern whites,
and to prevent this very Africanization they
now think inevitable if matters do not mend.
That they will ever mend by the oonsant or aid
of the 8enator and tho Radical party, is as hope
less as tho fatnro of poor Soath Carolina or
Florida, That party, as we honestly, land shall
always believe, intended by their reconstruction
iniquity to bring abont Jost such results—to
drive the whites to desperation or foroe them
to leave the oonnlry to the viotorions possession
of the blsok barbarians, whose feet Radicalism
with swift aod willing energy hastened to plant
on tbe cook of tbe lords of the soiL That party
is abont to see the success of its schemes, and
sbonld neither be surprised at, nor maudlin
over it It stands to day at tbe bar of hlatory
and the jnat judgment of an indignant, horror-
stricken eivllisation convioied of the gravest
erlmo in the oalendar of the oentnry, and it is
entirely too Iato to plead astonishment at tbe
oonseqnenoes of that orime.
Chalfanooga on tbe Situation Again.
Tbe Chattanooga Times is scandaliz.d at a
paragraph on “Rained Towns,” oopied from
tbit paper, and proceeds to lambaste tbe Tele
graph for it. The best remedy we can offer
for oar “ ntter ignorance " in tbe premises is
to give oar readers tbe benefit of tbe Times'
knowledge, which we do aooordingly:
This article (says the Times, referring to tbe
paragraph oopied from onr columns,) betrays
:bfl niter ignorance of the Telegraph as to what
is happening here or elsewhere. Its feeble at
tempt at wit can be compared only to the fid
dling of Nero whilo Rome was burning.
The clipping is unworthy of tbe former blgb
reputation of the Telegraph for brains fend can
dor.
Let tbe TiLros^w -and Hxsszsokb call on
anrh railroad men oa will look aolely to tho beat
interests of Msoon, and get tbeir views as to
this narrow gaage line. The Times la willing
to leave the question to the Intelligence of
Msoon. There have been several ways proposed
by which to build ibis narrow guage railroad
from Columbus lo Chattanooga. Onr people
prefer that Macon, Atlanta, Chattanooga,
Colnmbns aod Romo control it. Onr people
think if tbere is a combination of theso cities,
the road can be completed easily and within a
short time. Bat oar people also think that we oin
oontrol the chartor for this end of the line. We
intend to bnlld the road. If neoessary, we
shall ask Mr. Wadley, of the O. R. R, to take
a controlling Interest. If Macon can “stand
It,” with Mr. Wadley controlling to Chattanoo
ga, onr people think we can. Let the Txlx-
oBArn and MxssENaxn call on the business men
of Msoon and ask them to oontemplate tbe pic-
taro. Macon has never offered a chance to
free herself of tbe iron hand of the C. B. B.
She con take advantage of tbo offer or decline
It as may aoem best to her interest. Bat why
the offer Bhonld give rise to each an artiole as
that dipped from the Teleobaih and Messzn-
oxb is beyond onr human nainre to fathom.
Tbe people of Maoon will realize within a very
few years several important faots.
1st. Gbattlanooga as tbe head of steamboat
navigation (when Muscle Shoals aro opened) af
fords tbe most Eastern water distribution to
tbe Booth of the prodacts of tbe Northwestern
end Middle States, as all the States west of tbs
Mississippi.
2nd The heavy prodnets of these States seek
ing a southern market will naturally be oarrted
by water as far towards tbe South and East as
possible.
3d. Msoon has a remote bops of tbe Atlantlo
and Miosissppi Canal scheme. Tbe building of
which opens Utis trade to Chattanooga.
4th Bnt tbe Mnsole Shoals aro now being
oanalled by the Government.
6th Maoon and a greater part of the Sonth
will find, when tbe Mnsole Shoals are oanalled,
that Chattanooga offers them the nearest and
oheapest market for heavy articles.
It the TxLzosArn and Mxsbznoes eannot see
this matter so oar people do, Maoon will be
satisfied of it very soon, even If the Txlxobafb
and Msssrsan falls to admit it.

Reports of destructive frosts last Saturday
eorne to ns from the ooast of Georgia and the
Oarolinns. The early vegstablei, whloh make
np the “Truck Trade,” so called, with the North,
and oonstitnte, indeed, the most profitable crop
of that socTon of oonntry, were ont off, and the
trade Is done for this yesr. The Texas frosts in
the eirly part of the month, although no men
tion has boon made of them in the crop reports
of the New York Chroniole, were sweepingly
destructive. A Hempstead correspondent of
the Enfanla News says:
Tbe frost did Inoalonlable damage the night
of the 8th instant. Much of the eorn on the
black lands bad to be plowed np and planted
over. Cotton everywhere that was np had to be
planted over. Thistia my eighth spring in the
State, and the oddest, beyond all comparison,
that I ever witnessed here. Bnt the way farm
ers are working to retrieve the disaster of tbe
odd, gives unmistakable evidence that they will
■
win.
A Fretlj Spectacle for Enrope.
Jost aa we expeoted. Tbe following dis
patches to the Western Press show that a big
••job" has cropped ont in the Vienna commis
sioners business, and so flagrant is the thing
that the authorities at Washington have been
foroedto suspend the commissioners heretofore
appointed to represent the United State# at the
Exposition. If there is anything that Radical
rascality and cunning can't tarn to acooant for
the lining of individual pockets, we shall be
greatly refreshed to know what it la:
Nxw Yosx, April 24.—An examination of the
boed of Col. Tan Boren, Commissioner to Vi
enna, shows it ia not signed by him nor properly
sealed, and tbe State Department will not honor
his drafts till the mistakes are rectified.
Washington. April 25 —The Commissioners

A Very Encouraging Statement.
Tbe New York Sun sejs s Northern "Repub
lican member of Congress as oonspicnona for
integrity as he is for independence, says that In
the last House there were between thirty and
fort; members who oonld be ooanted upon at
all times to resist stealing, and that they were
abont equally divided between the two political
parties.'*
Whioh elatement the Sun thinks very enoour-
aging, as if ten honest men oonld have saved
Sodom and Gomorrah, thirty onght to be able
to save the American Government.
Ir the French can be more complimentary
than any other people, they also can be very
mnoh the reverse. A Faria journal says that,
reoentiy, at the Closerie dee Lilas, a lady in very
bad humor, said, savagely, to a gentleman who
had fixed his eyas on her for some time, “Why
have yon gaped at me for an boor, fooif’
"Ah Madame,” replied tbe gentleman, bowing
vary respectfully, “ if you only knew bow mnoh
you reoembU my poor monkey whioh I loved so
mnoh ” . The sequel is loft to oonjeeture.

Bad Outlook a Dxoatus—The Bain bridge
Democrat e.ya: “ Grope in this section are
doing as well as can be be expeoted. The late
oold weather has retarded their growth some
what, though not materially. Owing to the
suicidal “all cotton " plan, many formers are
reduoed to deeps rate straits, having their eorn
and baoon to bay, and no money to procure it
with. We most say that the proepeote for our

Thi La Grange Reporter Is credited with the

‘Judge Loehrane, who Is engaged inteeteot-

Georgia appointments or polities.”
The above is a press dispatch, and Is consid
ered of enough importance to be telegraphed all
over the country. Loohrane's self denial in re
fusing to throw the ponderous weight of his
inflaenoo into the matter of appointments and
polilios, will never be appreciated by the
people of this generation. We imagine we see
Grant with old aeeretary Sardine and the other
Cabinet nobles, pntnoing around tbe Knight of
the Crimson Oonn’enanoe, or kneeling before
him with eyes snffased with tears and hearts
quaking with agony, beseeching him with heart
rending tones to tell them whom to appoint;
while the magnanimous Judge with a stoioism
whioh oontemni all temptations that have not
the savor of brandy oocktails, bids them depart

of them:
We have read in many papers a request
made by some committee of some society (the
name* of both have escaped u-0 of the citizens
of tbe different counties to forward them
thoughts and suggestions as to the best mode
and manner of preventing negroes from emi
grating from the State. Wa hope tbere will
not b«j a single response. In the first plaoe,
abont all of the negroes.who, have .emigrated
are tbe most indolent, thriftless and worthless
of their raoe, whose room is preferable to their
oompsny. In tbe seoond plaoe, every negro
voter who leaves Georgia increases the ohanoes
for htr remaining permanently Democratic,
diminishes tbe number of prosecutions in
tbe United Slates District Courts for alleg
ed intimidations of voters. Ia the third place,
tbe negro's value as a laborer is almost counter
balanced by bis evil deeds and influences as a
politidan. Look at-Carolina and Louisiana.
Estimate, if yon can, tbe bnrden the people of
thoeeSt&tes are bearing in the form of taxes.
Oontemplate tbe horrors of the late Kn Klnx
promotions in Sonth Carolina; of the riot it
Colfax, and conceive, if you can, what a mon
itor tbe negro beoomes when hla race Is in tbe
majority and backed by the Federal govern
ment. If It (the negro) had not been in our
midst we oonld have laughed at reconstruction,
starved tbe oarpet bagger, been u peaoefnl and
happy as heart coaid desire; moreover, the
whites would have learned thoughts and habits
of self-dependence, whioh bring prosperity, con
tented minds and healthy bodies. We all know
thkt the negro, at heart, is the bitter enemy of
Die white raoe in tbe Sonth, is a spy upon onr
sots, reporter of onr words and rejoicer at onr
troubles. No man is so blind snd ignorant u
not to see and know these things. Then
why seek to relain him in onr mid<t if he
wishes to depart? Are the whites in Georgia
so worthless that they cannot live without
the utisUnce of the negro? -The thought is
the foulest injustice, and its publication a libel.
Look at the Nortbem States—where can be
>d on tbe earth’s snrfsoe a more prosperous
s _ s ile? Thsy have no negro laborers. Have
not onr people every element of true manhood
to be found in them ? Yes, traly. Then if the
negro wants to leave, let him go. while if he
prefers n home in Georgia to a home elsewhere,
let Urn slay in peaoe, fully proteoted in all his
rights, for he Is free snd we have no right to
drive him away, and it Is onr doty to be jost to
all men. All snch publications as the one re
ferred to in tbe beginning of this artiole, breed
In tba minds of tbe negroes reading it, a oon-
tempt for tbe white raoe, and otherwise result
In nothing bnt evil. Let there be no responses.
The Bobbery of Mr. Colfax.
The robbery of Mr. Oolfax's trank, while he
is wrestling with tbe Credit Mobilier commit
tee, says the St. Lonis Republican, was a coin
cidence, snd tbe manner in which the robbery
was treated wss jost a little bit mysterious. Mr.
Oolfax was a poor man, and the bonds stolen
from his trunk amounted only to a thonsand
dollars or so. It wasn’t worth making mnoh
fuss abont, and statements calculated to stifle
all interest and cnriosily In the matter were
soon forthcoming. At last it was announced
that the pro port; had been nearly all recovered,
and nothing was said abont the thief. Bnt now,
when the affair has been generally forgotten,
somebody in Booth Bend writes to the New
York Son that the bonds stolen on that occasion
were worth between ninety and one hundred
thonsand dollars; that Mr. Colfax bad them
in his lodgings became he dared not deposit
them in a safer plaoe, lest they sbonld reveal
the story of his wealth and expose his methods
of acquisition; that a fellow-lodger took advan
tage of Mr. Colfax’s troubles to rob him of those
bonds, knowing that he would not oare to ex
pose or prosecute the robber very vigorously;
that the Utter has been induoed to compromise
and disgorge most of the plunder which has
been returned to Mr. Colfax by polios authori
ties who are cognizant of the facts, bat are
keeping Mr. Oolfax's secret and permitting the
thief to avoid exposure, trial snd punishment.
In other words, it is charged that Mr. Colfax
has his oongressional profits salted down in the
shape of first-olaas securities to the valae of
$100,000, and that be wonld 1 rather lose this
handsome sum by surrendering it to Oakes
Ames or anybody else than to place it, or the
fact that he possesses it, within the reach of
impertinent investigation. This is ii very
strange story, and no proof of its troth haB been
made pnblio, yet tbere is every reason to fear
that eircnmstsnoea trill lend it both onrreney
and credit nnless it Is met and crashed by an
anthbriUtive denial.
The Beit ©overnment the World
Ever Saw.
The Tribune to evidently getting disgusted
with tbe drift of pubtio affaire. Says that pa
per in tbe Introductory paragraph to an article
upon “A Government runs itself: ”
Thto to an easy Government to ran. The ef
fete monarchies of the Old World, the empires,
the kingdoms, and principalities and powers of
the other hemispheres, the petty republics of
Oen'Tsl and Sonth America, and even Ibe mixed
Government of King Bill, require a constant
oare and attention, bnt here is a Government,
“the best"—we remember some time to have
heard it remarked—“tbe world ever saw;”
with a civil servioe described by the foremost
statesman of the party in power as “the best
on the planet; ” a oonntry illimitable in reeonr-
cee, where tbe seats in the Senate are worth
from fifty to six‘y thousand dollars, and rail
road companies can afford to pay $10,000 apiece
for Senators; a oonntry with an elastio currency
and a plastic finanoe minister, a national debt
of magnifisent proportions, a syndicate, a peace
policy, and a Modoc war—and it runs Itself.
Early in March one House of Congress yawned
and said: “Our daja are &9 the grass. Let us
grab and go away; ” and they grabbed a mtl-
ion and a half and retired to their constituents,
each man with a smile on bis oounienance and
$5,000 plunder in bis hand. A few days later
the Senate, which had remained over for intro-
speotion, fligellition, and possibly purgation,
after it had maundered and mumbled awhile, be
gan to braid straws in its bair and take on aira
of madness, and to say, “ This to lonesome and
melancholy, and tbe oonntry wants rest; ” and
then having does nothing, it “ folded ill tents
like the Arabs, and aa silently stole ’’—the rest
of the quotation to impertinent
A Cheat Lzoixlatuxz.— Speaking of the
aoooomv with the Mississippi Legislature can
be managed, a Jackson correspondent of the
pjoaynne says:
The whole Legislature, that to a majority,
oonld bo bought, we are told, for abont $5,000
sometimes $1,000—prices of individual mem
bers ranging from twenty-five to one hundred
dollars. Senators are worth front one hundred
to two hundred and fifty. This, in comparison
to Louisiana' bayonst crowds, to cheap, but
money, it is said, is soaroe and members would
sooner have five dollars than nothing, and so
they go. There have been several railroad men
in Jackson tbo past winter for venous porposea.
and they have been enabled to procure what to
dsrtwd at moderate prioea."

A Hsrrisburgh correspondent of Forney’s
Philadelphia Press discloses some faots in refer

which plaoe it on a par, in a morel point of
view, with a gathering in Florida which goes by
that name. Says he:
Several bills were fonnd passing from one
honse to the other with interlopated amend
ments. How many such eseaped notioe will be
known only as tbe tows are priated. Senator
McClure commenced two days before tbe oloee
of tbs session to stand before the clerk's desk
and personally inspect every bill and amend -
ment of publie interest, or relating to Philadel
phia, as it eame from tbe House. He cut one
surreptitious amendment from a bill before tbe
clerk, and said to him that if complaint waa
made by any Benator, to answer that the amend
ment was in tbe hand* of the Senator from the
Fourth District, and would M prodnoed in open
Senate if ealled for. - Of oourae no one wonld
call for it, for that wonld have been a confes
sion of tbe author of the fraud. Three of his
bills were stolen in the Honse, and he dupli
cated them in five minutes, nnder a suspension
of the rales, and sent a clerk to follow them
through all tbe stages of the Honse.

Ibe Rev. Hr. Spsrteeu ud Hla
American Offer.
It appears from a statement made by the
Rev. O. H; Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tab
ernacle that he has had a tempting offer from
the Amerioan Literary Bureau to pay a visit to
Amsriea. The following to Ms version of the
matter: “I will jurt ted yon one little thing
whioh happened to me this afternoon. I bed a
letter from a gentleman well known in America
giving tne thto offer—$25,000 for twenty-five
lectures—that to X200 for eaeh leoture. On
^theee terms the twenty-five nights wonld give
me -£5^000, and in one hundred nights I should
have .£20,000. Betides thto I should be allowed
to leoture for aa many more nights as Ichoae,
so that I might, in the course of a year, M
worth 40,000, and no doubt the persona who
undertake thto would earn ten times the
amount. I have nothing to do bnt to leave
you for a year and oome home with X20,000 or
.£40,000, while if I stay here I (hall have noth
ing like that. What do you suppose was my
answer to this offer ? I wrote, ‘If you were to
multiply that offer by a hundred times, and
again a hundred times, I shoold feel it as easy
to decline as I do now, when I say I oannot
cross the ocean to leoture upon any subjeot
whatever. I am a minister of tbe gospel, and
never leetnred for money, and do not Intend
to do ao now; and if my people oannot sup
port me it to a pity. Some people would aay,
'Why not go over to Amerioa and get the money
to build tbe college ?’ I shall not do so, be
cause I would not do one thing to degrade my
self nor diagram yon. I shall not make any
appeal to another oonntry to do what you can
ana onght to do. There are two brothers here
to-night who have received offers from Amer
ica. Each man can lecture as well aa preach,
and there to no harm In their having £500 and
a month’s holiday. - If I were in their position
I would do the seme thing, bnt as I am I oan
not leave yon. I oannot leave the oollege nor
the orphanage, not if my honse were filled with
silver and gold from top to bottom. There are
two things whioh I should feel if I went to
Amerioa. The first ia that I should go. not to
preach the gospel, bnt to leoture, and I cannot
do that, not for the national debt.”
XHB LOG KOLLINB. -
Scenes from Plantation Aire in Georgia.
Rochester Union Georgia Letter.]
We lately felled soma twenty sores of heavy,
seoond growth pine timber, and tbe logs being
too heavy for the help on the place to handle,
we made a log-rolling. Tbe freedmen of tbe
neighborhood were invited to help, and
promiaed plenty to eat and drink, and a dance
after the work was finished; three considera
tions as hard for them to withstand as Credit
Mobilier is for those who are not negroes, bnt
are less happy.
By sunrise the hands are marching toward
the field singing,
"God He made tbe trees to grow,
5 Mazes cat 'em down;
Niggars dey de cotton boe,
An’ plow de metier ground,
An' plow, an* plow.
An’ plow de metier ground ”
“De (host am on de coils,
De ticker's pasting round;
God bress de master’s soul,
God brees de muter’a ground,
-De ground, de ground,
God brees de muter’a ground.”
The field being reached, they divide them-
selveB into squads of six, and with a will com
mence piling the logs into great heaps; each
squad singing some one of tbs many work
songs they learned in Blavery times; snd with
out tbe singing of whioh their labor wonld seem
hard and onerous. It to Impossible for ns to
describe these songs. They are often witty,
sometimes vulgar, bnt tbere is something In the
mnsic of them all that penetrates the soul like
the sod tones of Alallanbarp—a certain weirdness
of aonnd—minora bora -of tbe winds; and to
the imaginative, telling tbe sorrows of a cen
tal; of servitnde; to them bat tbe natural ex
pression of feelings tinged with happiness and
oontent ment.
Here and there over the field stood mammoth
trees, monaroha of the forest, and when the
logs from these are reached by any of the
squads they coll for help in tbe following man
ner :
“Corns, oh come, an’ help we niggare,
Here am one we con not tote;
Muss, you most pass de tickers.
An' for onr dinner gib us shoat.”
The two squads nearest come to their assist
ance, the great log to raised with a shout, and
away they maroh with it, singing:
“Musa, dls am mighty long,
Musa, this am mighty big;
Fare tbe lioker, moke urn strong,
An* don't forget de routed pig.”
At noon the horn blows, telling that dinner is
ready and waiting to be eaten. They eat it as
if they enjoyed ir, and then there is an hour of
boisterous sport. First, a foot-raoe, in whioh
tbe yonnger ones indnlge, the winner-being a
half-demented hnnobbaok. He reaches the
goal, and with a horrid kind of grin exolaims,
“I beat!” and with a chuckle of satisfaction
rolls himself into a ball and then rolls out of
sight. Then they tell how he outran the Major’s
fox-hounds in an all day chase, and caught and
killed tbe fox witb his “own hands.” There is
a wrestling match, a rough-and-tumble squab
ble, jumping and tumbling, and some very sharp
marble playing by tbe older ones. Again tbe
horn blows, and with a song they start for tho
field.
Before sunset the logs have been rolled,
“Mena” being compelled to take a free ride on
the tost one one of the field to the following
song:
“Now de logs hab done been rolled,
Niggare dey feel mighty frisky,
- Maras, yon mnst nebber tcold.
Bat gib de roliera mote corn whisky.
I ho, corn whisky, ho—
I bo, corn whisky, bo.”
The more com whisky being compromised by
a good and substantial supper, and tbe oolored
women and girls of tbe neighborhood having
arrived, they adjonra to the largest oabin on
the plaoe, where they rattle their heels to tbe
musio of tbe “quills”—reeds—until the gray
blush of morning mantles tbe Orient and bids
them to their homes retnra.
Gilbzbt Dbaxe, of Connecticut, oonrted a
girl ten years, snd then she married another
man. GUL said he did not wonder that so many
marriages turned ont unhappily, sinoe girls be
trayed suoh irrepressible haste in getting
“splioed.”

Remarkable akd Great Cube of Diabetib—(Sn-
uab is the Uam*)—bx Db. J A. Jcseb.—For near
ly three year. 1 wan ah-k unto dt.uh with that
dreadfal dieoaso diskette—sugar in the ttrine— dur-
icg which time my enfforinga language oonld not
describe. My disoaso was contracted in September,
1870—neatly throe years sge—while ia the employ
of Col. Edmond liainson, in Montgomery, Ala.,
who knows of my cue well. I woe treated by all
tbo boat pbyeioians of tbe principal Bontbern cities,
and nearly all of them gave up my cose os incura
ble, after treating me for weeks or months. I also
tried tbe mountain air of Birmingham, Ala., and
tried bitters and all kinds of patent modicines.
Nothing reached my disease, or touebod tbe root
of it, or changed my nrino. wbicb was white, and
soon after being voided in tbe son crystalled into
sugar. I had to got up evoiy hour during the
night to drink and void water. Everything I ate
and drank turned into sugary urine; and thus, by
ouncoa, I waa wa<dod aud reduced from a strong,
healthy, Btont man of 170 poanes lo a skeleton of
69 pounds. Forty-eight hours after I commenced
Dr. Jones' treatment my urine changed to a natu
ral color, witb the natural odor, and in a few days
my pains and ills left me- I feel as well as I ever
did in my hfo ; h&vs good, natural appetite, natu
ral and regular bowels, and am gaining my former
activity and strength daily, bnt my teeth are loose
and discolored from tbe bad effects of the mercury,
iron, arsenic, eto., givon me before I saw Dr. Jones.
I have not taken over on ounce of medicine from
Dr. Jones, and it was pleasant to lake, and be
never changed bis remedy, and be never gave me
but one small bottle of that, bnt it went to the very
spot, and I and my wife both saw that I was cored,
and I felt and Baw it after the first twenty-four
hours 1 use of Dr. Jones' medicine. I feel tbat I
owe my life to tbe skill of this great physician, for
my shroud was prepared and at my bedside, and
my disease was pronounced Incurable by so many
ihyaiciana, some of them stating tbat no person
iad ever been cured of diabetis.
B. W. White, Maoon, Ga.
I know Mr. White; havo known him for many
years, and can testify to tbe troth of tbo above re
markable cure by Dr. J. A. Jones.

It is well known by the people of Crawford
eonnty, tbat I have been blind with amost distress
ing disease of tho eyes, purulent opthalmia, with
all tbo Bcalding tears, swelling, burning, scratching
of tbe lids, opacity of tbs cornea, neuralgia, aching
of the forehead, and most distressing blindneta for
seven years past, daring which time I employed tbe
skill of doctors here and olaewboro—all to no pur
pose. Finally, all my hopes of tbo fntnre bad de
parted, until I was mtdeacqnainted witb Dr. Junes’
unparalleled skill. With but a ray of hope I placed
my.olf un.ier hi- tr. ntuu-ut a month ago, ana Pom
that day my core wA.no longer doubtful; for by
bis peenhar treatment, and a few doses of medi
cine, be has restored my eyes to tbeir natural ap
pearance end sight, and day by day my eyes have
regained tbeir lateral strength, until now I
am for tbo first Hue n seven long years, attending
to my plantation, end «m at worm From blindness
he has brought n» lu ree. Out of seven long
years of groping, suffering, darkness, in less than
one month he has restored to me gooa sight and
good health again- Dr- Jones, yuu are indeed a
God send to us Jb, that yon would forever re
main witb ns. Any cne wbo wishes to see me can
find me at work on my plantation, near Knoxville,
Crawford county, Ga. W. G. Wildes.
I was badly cross-eyed fifteen years Dr. Jonet,
by a skillful operation, has made my eyes perfectly
straight. I would not take any.money for the ben
efit this skillful surgeon has done for me. I live in
Macon, and refer any ono to tbe Professors of
Mercer University for the troth of this statement;
also to my father, Davis Smith, a well-known resi
dent of Macon. Wm. Ira Smith.
Nebvocs Debility, Losb of Vital Fluid, Semi
nal Weakness, etc , Cubed.—Dr. Jones—Dear Sir;
When I first employed yonr skill, I was indeed a
sufferer with all the Ms that follow the violation of
those laws of onr existence, tbe abate of whioh
leave their terriblo tale too plainly told. My mem
ory was impaired, my body nearly rained; I bad •
gone, iangor feeling, neivous debility, irregular
sleep, startling and wasting dreams, weakness of
tbo back, floating epota before the eyes, sometimes
like webs, forgetfulness, inability to ooncentrato
my mind, awful forebodings, desire to avoid oom-
pany, dull, heavy feeling. I was wasting away and
despondent. I have been ueing yonr wonderful
remedies now two months, and have regained my
former vitality and vigor; my nnnd and body are
Improved—I am, indeed, a new boing, with nearly
all my former vigorous mind and body. I am now
able to pursne my occupation, and feel that I am a
man again, and know bow to shun, in tbe futnre,
that awful secret habit which wonld have rained me
bnt for your tkiti. I am yonr friend,
Josxrn W. Joslyn.
My address for tho next year will be Yale College.

rated npon my eon and daughter for two hundred

sand dollars for the good be has done them.”
Mr. P. J. Howard, a well-known planter of Cola-
parcbee, Ga., writes: Dr. Jonee: Sir—I have been
nnder your treatment tor several difficult chrosie
diseases, and tbe benefit derived to worth mnch
more than tbe money paid.
Dr. Jones’ Fees vary from $100 to $6,000. Bis
