THE CITY.
WEDNESDAY. MAY 12. 1875.
Tka Weather.
Yesterday was as fine a day as often
occurs at any season of the year. It was
entirely clear and warm enough to give
vegetation a good lift and improve the
demand for ice.
Tearing Away M Retail*.
Workmen are now engaged m tearing
away the rains of the residence of Mr.
E. J. Johnston, which was burned some
months ago. in order to make room for a
new residence which is to supply its
place.
Memorial Association.
A meeting of the Ladies’ Memorial As.
sodation will be held in the Pablic Li
brary rooms, at o’clock Thursday af
ternoon. All interested are invited to he
present, as business of interest will be
brought to their attention.
First a tree t Methodist Church.
Service is being held in the First Street
Methodist Church every night during
the present week, and will be continued
aa long aa any interest is manifested.
The nights are magnificent for going out,
and consequently good congregations at
tend these services.
Liberal.
There is one gentleman in the city who
has purchased one hundred dollars worth
of tickets in the Jackson Artillery Con
cert, and gives back to the company
whatever prizes his tickets may draw.
This is a very excellent liberality and it
is to be hoped that each of his tickets
will draw a prize.
Aid the Orphans.
The strawberry festival in aid of the
Orphan’s Home, will take place on Thurs
day evening, at Ayres’ Ball, beginning at
4 o’clock. Ladies contributing refresh-
meats will please send them to the hall
by2 o’clock. The young ladies of the
Orphan Home Society will hold a festival
Saturday afternoon at the park.
Wilt cael Them Off.
Boland B. Hall will keep his store open
nntil after the Jackson Artillery Concert
to-night in order to cool off the crowd
with soda water after the excitement of
the drawing. He 'mys If he drawB the
three hundred dollar prize he will treat
every one at the concert. As he is known
to be a lucky follow you had better go
round prepared to take a glass. If he
does not draw the prize yon can get the
soda water anyhow.
. “We and Our Neighbors.”
This is the title of a new book by Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, published by J.
B. Ford A Co, of Hew York, and a copy
of which has been received through
Messrs. J. W. Burke A Co. of this city.
We have .had no time to examine this
book, but presume that, like all the works
of its author, it contains a good deal to
praise and much to condemn. Mrs.
Stowe is a strong, vigorous thinker and a
good writer. Her books are readable,
even when we do not accord with any of
her sentiments. She has a way of stat
ing her points which makes them at
tractive even though we repudiate them
wholly. This accounts for the popularity
of her books, and she meets with a
readier sale than most authors do.
Messrs. Burke A Co. have this book for
sale.
The County Court.
Judge Best keeps his court going
whenever there is work for it to do. He
tried two criminal cases yesterday.
One party was charged with keeping a
tippling house open on Sunday; but he
established the fact that he did not go in
for the purpose of vending liquor, and
did not sell any while in; but simply
treated a few friends who followed him
in, and a verdict of not guilty was ren
dered. It was also shown that the prose
cution was a malicious one, and the prose
cutor was burdened with the costs.
A party charged with assault upon a
colored woman, was tried and found not
guilty.
A number of bills of indictment found
by the present grand jury wero sent
down to the County Court yesterday, and
will be disposed of some way or other
to day. Some of them may not be tried
until the Jnno term.
The Jackson Artillery. .Concert,
The pablic will bear in mind the fact
that the first gift concert, for the benefit
of the Jackson Artillery of this city, will
take place in Balaton Hall to-night. The
tickets are nearly, if not quite all sold,
and the distribution of prises will take
place precisely as advertised. There will
be bo scaling of prizes, bnt every one will
bo drawn by some one or other, and the
whole will be promptly paid.
The management of this scheme is in'
the hands of gentlemen who could mot be
hired to lend themselves to anything
that is fraudulent, or even unfair. The
plan has been adopted as the surest
means of arming and equipping a volun
teer military company to be organized
and located at this place, and it is con-
ducted under a charter granted by the
General Assembly of the State.
The novelty of the affair will doubtless
attract a large audience at Balston Hall
to-night, and the distribution of gifts
will create no small amount of interest.
Company B Prizes.
Two prizes will he competed for by
Company B at their anniversary on Sat-
nrday. One of them is a superb gold
badge, designed by Mr. Jos. E. Wells,
Jr., and made in Hew York. It is in
form of a Maltese cross, surrounded by a
wreath and with the coat of arms of
Geo^a in the center. This is pendant
to a finely ornamented bar, bearing the
words “Macon Volunteers.” On the
anna of the cross are the words “Co. B.
Organised May 15, 1874. Prize medal.”
The lettering and coat of arms are all
enameled. On the reverse side are the
woeda "Won by , 1875,” with blanks
for six years. It is the handsomest medal
yet offered by any of the companies. J
The other prize is a gun to be awarded
to the best drilled man. It is a Reming
ton rifle, with barrel, lock, bayonet and
guard beautifully sickle-plated and the
gold-plated. A silver plate is let
into the stock bearing the words, "Com-
pany prize for the best drilled member
of Mioon Volunteers Company B, won by
May 15; 1875,” and space is
left for ten years.
These are both company prizes, and do
not become the property of the winner,
but are borne as a mark of honor, by the
winners, for one year after being won,
or until they «buTI have been beaten in a
subsequent contest. The plan we think
is a good one. The members we pre
sume will not desire to wear honors to
which they are sot entitled, and they are
only entitled to them, until a more fortu
nate contestant takes them from them.
The prizes will then pahs around among
the boys, unless the winner this year be
also the winner next year. To win the
prize for three consecutive years vests
the ownership in the winner, and the
company will purchase a new one to sup
ply its place in fntnre contests.
A Strawberry Farm.
We had the pleasure yesterday, through
the kindness of Dr. A. P. Collins, of vis
iting Mr. O. C. Collins’ strawberry farm,
near the city. The berries grown upon
this farm have become noted in this and
other markets for their size and excellent
flavor. We do not think their equal finds
their way into this market, and we had
some cariosity to see how they are grown.
Mr. Collins’ farm is to the right of
VineviUe, nearly north of the city, and
just beyond the VineviUe branch. It is
on the side of a hill, sloping a little north
of east, and reaching down to the branch,
where there is some very good bottom
land, which is only partially drained and
utilized. The land on the slope, where
the main portion of his vines are, does
not appear to be very fertile; but has a
fair body, though it is somewhat rocky
and sandy like most of the soil around
Macon.
Mr. Collins has about three acres of
this laud in berries and now bearing, and
an additional acre and a half of vines, very
handsome and thrifty, are coming on, and
will be in bearing next year. His selec
tions of varieties are the finest to be had
after an experience of several years in
their culture. A few years ago Mr. Col
lins ordered out nineteen varieties of
strawberry, aU of which were highly
commended. Several of these varieties—
in fact a majority of them—he found,
after a fair trial, to be worthless, and he
discontinued their culture. Those which
gave him entire satisfaction, and which
he propagates most largely are the Col.
Cheney, the Jucunda, the Wilton Albany,
the Triompht De Gaud, the Peak Emperor,
and Barnet’ Mammoth. All of these he
finds to be hardy, prolific and finely
flavored—in fact they answer aU the re-
quirements of a good berry, and he finds
their cultivation profitable.
Mr. Collins is now gathering from 400
to 600 quarts of berries a day, which he
finds ready sale for in Macon, Savannah
and Atlanta. He employs twenty hands
in picking them, consisting mainly of
women and children. The vines aie
loaded with berries, and look as if they
will be for two months to come. His
finest variety—the Jucunda,—wiU not b£-‘
gin to ripen fora fortnight yet.
Some of these vines bore freely during
the winter. Mr. Collins marked some
that yielded the greatest number of her-
ties on the first of January, and those
vines are fullest now. This fact contra,
diets the opinion entertained by some
that the bearing of the vines in mid-win
ter, operates against an abundant yield at
this proper ’season, i Ll /i. i\.
The County Hospital.
.Probably not oae : tenth of the people
of the bounty-are aware of what an excel
lent home those persons have whose in
digent circumstances throw them upon
the county for a support. A hospital is
looked upon as a place more or less loath
some, because of the many forms of dis
ease with which the inmates are afflioted,
and an almshouse is, at best, regarded as
the home of squalor and wretchedness
and never over cleanly. But the Bibb
county hospital, while answering the
joint purposes of an almshouse and a hos
pital, is neither a loathsome nor a squalid
looking place; hut on the contrary is one
of the cleanest and tidiest places in Ma
con. A lady may dress in white muslin and
walk through every building on the prem
ises without ever soiling her trail. The
floors are as white as scouring can
make them; 1 the wards are pictures
of cleanliness; the kitchen is clean as
most parlors are; the bunk3, with their
snow-white sheets and pillows and clean
spreads, almost tempt one to lie upon
them and take a snooze. This same air
of cleanliness is apparent in the white
and black, and male and female quarters
and extends to the inmates themselves
and to all the grounds belonging to the
hospital; and to finish the clean appear-
ance of things all the buildings of every
kind on the premises, and all the fences
are as white as lime can make them,
inside and out, and are kept so all the
while.
The garden attached to the hospital is
the best one in the county. We know
of no market garden that equals it. It
gives every sign of the must skillfnl cul
tivation, and the season never produced
finer vegetables than are now growing
luxuriantly in it. There are cabbages
two feet and a half across, beets four
inches in diameter, onions almost
as large, and all other vegetables
proportionately luxuriant. There is an
'acre and a half in this garden. We
passed over the whole of it and did not
see a weed. Cleanliness reigns there
also.
Mr. S. S. Harman, the steward of the
institution, is unquestionably the right
man in the right place. The excellent
management of the institution is mainly
duo to his untiring indnstry. He seldom
leaves the premises upon any pretext
whatever, but gives his whole time and
labor to it, and manages everything with
the strictest economy. He gives an ac
count of the disposition of everything
that goes there, and by his care and
thrift materially lessens the expense of
the support of the poor.
We have never been more agreeably
surprised than when we visited the in-
stitntion, for we were not expecting to see
anything half so excellent in all its ar
rangements, so beneficent and liberal in
its charity, and so completely fulfilling
all the ends aimed at. More of the pec-
pie ought to Tisit it.
To tfce Stockholders of the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad.
Macon, Ga., May 5,1875.
For the purpose of ascertaining wheth
er any joint action of this company can
be secured for the purchase of road ad-
vertised for sale by the State on the first
Tuesday in Jane, a meeting of the stock
holders will be held on Thursday, the 20th
day of May, at the City Hall, in the city
of Macon.
In publishing the call for this conven
tion, it would seem appropriate that some
information should be given in advance
in order that you may bestow some
thoaght on the subject, and be thus bet
ter prepared to act understandingly on
the questions which will then be brought
forward.
The terms of purchase are cash or en
dorsed bonds of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad Company, first issue.
A bid on our part looking to'paying
interest semi-annually on amount of
bonds proposed to be given for the road,
and final payment of such bonds at ma
turity, the State holding the property
i aeon while as security, would be more
within our ability to have accomplished,
and would at the same time, it is believ
ed, have been of more signal advantage
to the State as ensuring a higher bid.
Bat inasmuch aa this would be & lease to
all intents and not a sale, as instructed
by the Legislature, we must assume this
.to be impracticable, and be prepared to
comply with the strict terms of the Be-
ceiver’s advertisement.
As the best criterion as to the present
value of the road, it may be stated, that
the net earnings for twelve months from
July 1,1873, to July 1, 1874, amounted
to fA9,000. The iron, equipments, etc.,
being comparatively unworn and new, a
proper allowance most be made for in
creased expenditures in these items
yearly, which would absorb the net earn
ings. On the other hand, however, it is
believed that the increase of population
and business on the line will, in course of
time, meet the depreciation. If thi3 be
so, the $49,000 net earnings would repre
sent the interest on a certain amount of
capital, which capital may therefore be
assumed as present absolute value of the
road.
In these days of high interest, scarcity
of money and uncertainty of railroad in
vestments, the purchase of the property
at even low figures can scarcely be rec
ommended, unless coupled with an exten
sion north of Macon. The entire failure
of our rood is due to our having been
blocked at Macon. The road never could
have been built had it been supposed
possible that the tinea north of that
point could have been closed so effectually
as has been done by the leases and
amalgamations of these outlets north
ward.
A favorable connection with the Geor
gia railroad can be made in a distance of
GO miles, at either Social Circle or Cov
ington, or a further extension oi 40 miles
to the Air-Line road, or to Athens, would
thus give us access, not only to Atlanta
and the great Horthwestem country, hut
to Baltimore, Philadelphia, Hew York
and the Eastern cities. The grading
over this entire extension of 100 miles is
exceedingly light, and the country tra
versed rich and needing railroad facili
ties.
It is evident that, with the road sold
to other parties than ourselves, we lose
the large amount of money invested.
The road has cost over $4,000,000 in cash,
not one-half of which has been met by
sale of the State endorsed bonds. The
balance has been paid out of our own
money. The State will, in a great meas
ure, be made whole by the sale and the
contingent advantages of the road, bnt
our loss is irreparable.nnless we can pur
chase the property.
Our Horthern stockholders, on whom
the loss is still greater than ourselves,
had instructed the purchase of the road,
even to the extent of the limit affixed by
the'State, at the sale advertised last De
cember, with the understanding that all
stockholders. South might participate in
the ptfre&aSa if'so inclined.' The with
drawal of thb road from sals defeated
this project,-and (the unjust (repudiation
-since df $600,000 of State endorsed bonds
by the Stated mostly held by these stock
holders, has “bo' discouraged them that
they evince tittle disposition to invest
more money here. Still, as the only
chance to save even a portion of their
losses is to combine in the purchase, we
have' still hopes of • their co-operation.
Their great financial strength would not
only enable the purchase, but also, make
the necessary extensions.
However great may be our anxiety to
preserve our property, if oompelled to
look to our Southern stockholders, and if
forced to pay cash or bonds for the same,
we confess honorably we can see tittle
hope of our doing so. Yet the directory
feel that they would be remiss in their
dnty if any and all means were not tried
ere the attempt be relinquished in de
spair. You are therefore respectfully so
licited to meet in convention at the time
and place specified, and it is hoped there
may be a full attendance.
On behalf of the Board,
Gxo. H. Hazlxhubst, President.

Wiebor’s Compound op Pure Cod Liver Oil

oil has long acted as a prominent objection to its
use; hut in this form the trouble is entirely ob
viated. A host of certificates might be given
here to testify to the excellence and success of

fact that it is regularly prescribed by the medi

read in the newspapers of the grand success of
medical compounds put up at the North and else
where. Many of those medicines have had their
day. an 1 we hear no more of them. Their pro
prietors have made fortunes, not so much from
the curative powers and virtues of their mix
tures, as from the notoriety given them by adver
tising. by which people were made to believe all
the good that was said of them. A preparation
is now before the public which is becoming very
popular, and is known as Bradfield’s Female
Regulator, put up by L. H. Bradfield, of Atlanta,
6a, at $1 SO per bottle. Such is its curative vir
tues that it has gained wide-spread popularity
all over the country where it has been made
known, and it is being introduced everywhere.
We are informed that immense quantities of this
medicine are being sold in all sections of the
South ind Southwest, especially in the city of
New Orleans and in Texas.
This much we say in justice to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would

A Pleasaxt Hbmbdt.—The change in the
weather has given a great many persons colds,
coughs, bronchitis, sore throats, hoarseness, etc.
Instead of nauseous medicines, stews and villain
ous compeunds/mr citizens »re using that pleasant
and delightful remedy. Globe Flower Syrup,
which always effects a core in a few days, and
sometimes in a few hours. Neglect a cold and
pay either a doctor’s or an undertaker's bill. The
list of diseases and the great number of deaths
resulting from a simple cold are frightful, and
may be avoided by having always at hand a bot
tle of Globe Flower Syrup, which is equally and
certainly remedial for all stages of lung and bran
chial disorder, from a simple cold to a confirmed
consumption. Be wise in time, 'tis madness to
defer. Next day the fatal precedent may plead
and you may drop into an early grave—all for
want of one bottle of Globe Flower Cough Syrup.
Mi there, remember that Globe Flower Syrup
is a specific for croup, and children love to take
it. Never be without this invaluable remedy, to
administer on the first alarm of croup. Cut this
out. It may save your life, and with sound lungs
and a healthy organization, live long to bless its
discovery and praise its great merits.
It is sold by first-class druggists and chemists.

Dr. Schenck’s Standard Remedies.—The
standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are 'Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and,
if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schonck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex
pectoration. for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe a slight cough will throw it off. the patieut
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
liver is soon relieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu
lant and alterative: the alkali of which it is
composed, mixes with the food and prevents
souring. It assists the digestion by toning up
the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the
food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood ; then the lungs heal, and the patient will
surely get well it care is taken to prevent fresh
cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do so at his principal
office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia, every Monday.
Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the oountry.
