Amusements.
The performance of the Japs last
night at the Opera House, was a very
fine one, and the audience evinced their
appreciation of it by continued ap
plause. They will give a matinee per
formance this afternoon, and also per
form in the evening. Mr. Fred Berger,
under whose management these Japs
are performing, is to be congratulated
upon the success which has attended
the troupe.
St. George’s Society.
The monthly meeting of the St.
George’s Society was held last night in
their hall. The meetings of this society
are attended with great interest by the
members. It is not only a financial,
but also a social success. And when
we say it is a financial success, it shows
that even in the monetary crisis we are
passing through, what can be accom
plished by good management. Socially,
it is all that can be desired, especially
if we may judge from the manner in
which the members enjoyed themselves
last evening, although the weather was
anything but propitious.
Port Royal Railroad.
It will be seen by reference to the
schedule published in our advertising
columns, that the above road, is now
running two daily trains, makiDg close
connections with trains for Savannah,
Charleston, Jacksonville and other
important points.
The trains leave Augusta at 7:30 a.
m. and 8:45 p. m., and arrive at 7:20
a. m., and 5:20 p. m. Passengers will
find on this road every convenience
and comfort, together with fast time.
Let Every One Give Something.
The ladies of the Memorial Associa
tion met on Thursday. The most im
portant business was the appoint
ment of a committee of ono mem
ber for each ward and Sum
merville, for the purpose of raising
funds with which to purchase a
memorial home for the widow and
orphan of the lamented Stonewall
Jackson. The simple announcement of
the appointment of the committee and
its praiseworthy object is, we feel, suf
ficient to ensure a generous subscrip
tion. No person should neglect to give
something, and should the ladies fail to
call, a communication with a generous
contribution would not be refused if
sent through the Post Office, directed
t > the “Ladies’ Memorial Association,
Augusta.”

old fogy salesmen!”
Proprietor—“ Ye-es ! they ain’t much
to ‘flirt’ with, but if you want to ‘buy’

happiest mood, and will please and de
light everybody.
The illustrated papers for this week

We hear that the Lady Washington
tea party, next week, promises to be a
decided success. The interest taken
in the matter by the ladies has given
great impetus to it, and our citizens
will enjoy a treat such as has never
before been afforded them.
The only cases before the Recorder
yesterday, were : George Blees for in
toxication, fined two dollars and fifty
cents ; Richard Bostwick (colored), as
saulting Henry Doyle with a knife was
fined fifty dollars.
Every Evening, of Savannah, says:
“We learn from a gentleman who came
down on the Central Road this morn
ing that when he left Augusta last eve
ning it was generally conceded that Mr.
Estes had been re-elected Mayor by a
handsome majority. It is certainly a
high compliment to Mayor Estes to be
re-elected, in spite of the canal argu
ments and the popularity o! his oppo
nent.”
All kinds of poultry and meat can be
cooked adding to the water
in which they are boiled a little vinegar
or a piece of lemon. By the use of an
acid there will be considerable saving
of fuel, as well as a shortening of time.
Its action is beneficial on old, tough
meats, rendering them quite tender
and easy to be digested.
Don’t inspect odd looking breast
pins, or you may regret it it. The last
practical joke comes in the shape of a
breast-pin squirt: This beautiful work
of art costs about twenty-five cents. It
consists of a hollow breast-pin, con
nected by a rubber tube w 7 ith a small
globe filled with water, and concealed
in the pocket of the wearer. The pin
is generally in some grotesque shape.
When the attention of any one is at
tracted to-it, and he leans over to ex
amine it more closely—whiz! fiz! a
small stream of water proceeds from
the staring eyes or gaping mouth of
the pin head straight into the face of
the inquisitive person.
Church Festivals.
The last’parlor concert and festival
of St. Janies M. E. Church was so suc
cessful, it will (be repeated on next
Monday night, a%the residence of Mr.
W. L. Sherman, Elbert and
Telfair streets. There will be an entire
change of programme.
The congregation of the First Bap
tist Church had a parlor concert and

dence of Mr. Nathan Davis, No. 42
Broad street. The concert programme

The concert closed about 10 o’clock,
when the refreshments were served.
There were oysters stewed and fried,
ice cream, cakes, fruit, etc. A novel
feature was an egg tree. A number of
egg shells filled with candy were sus
pended by strings from the branch of a
small tree. Each person who took a
chance, had the privilege of taking an
egg, with the opportunity of drawing a
gold ring which was placed in one of
the egg shells. There was also a prize
cake. There were over a hundred per
sons present, and all went home at
midnight delighted.
Serious Accident.
On Wednesday, Thomas Wilds, our
well-known Superintendent of Public
Roads of this county, was riding
towards his home in a buggy, e.nd had
reached a point about six mile® from
the city, on the Milledgeville road,
when the horse became frightened and
ran away. Iu the horse’s flight, he
came in contact with a tree, and Mi*.
Wilds, together with his daughter, who
was riding with him, was thrown out.
It is feared Mr. Wilds has received
severe internal injuries, but his daugh
ter escaped with a few slight bruises.
THE SOUTHERN PORCELAIN
COMPANY.
Its Re-organization and Prospects.
At a meeting of .the stockholders of
the Southern Porcelain Company, yes
terday, a complete re-organization was
effected. The. following officers were
elected:
President—Thomas J. Davies.
Directors—Charles J. Jenkins, W. H.
Harrison, James Hope, C. R. Stone,
Thos. J. Davies.
This company was organized in 1856
with Hon. Charles J. Jenkins as Presi
dent. The capital stock is SIOO,OOO.
The property and works of the com
pany are situated near Bath, South
Carolina. Upon their premises is an
inexhaustible supply of kaolin which
is of a rarely pure character. This
porcelain clay is found in few places in
the United States and nowhere out
side of the South Carolina ridge, near
Augusta, in such quality and quantity.
In late years, the shipment of clay to
the North has assumed huge propor
tions as it enters into the composi
tion of many fabrics.
The newly elected President, Mr.
Thomas J. Davies, is well known in
this community. He claims, we be
lieve, Beech Island, South Carolina,
as his residence, but is equally at home
on this side of the river. During the
war hiSj attention was turned to the
discovery and utilization of kaolin beds,
and it is safe to say that no man is
more familiar with this line of business
or better known to purchasers of the
clay. Mr. Davies is the epitome of
energy and tenacity of purpose. His
business qualifications are of the first
order. An extensive acquaintance
amoDg Northern dealers gives him
great advantages. He is eminently
fitted for tho position to which he has
been elected, and we confidently be
lieve that, under his vigorous adminis
tration, the Porcelain Company will be
sure to prosper.
Augusta Ice Company.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Augusta Ice Company,
was held yesterday afternoon in the
Directors’ Room of the Augusta Fac
tory, on Broad street.
The meeting organized by the choice
of Dr. L. A. Dugas as Chairman, and J.
L. Fleming as Secretary.
A Committee on Proxies reported
that of the 2,078 shares of the com
pany, there were represented by the
gentlemen present, or by proxies, 902
shares, more than the one-third re
quired by the by-laws.
W. H. Barrett, the President of the
Company, read the annual statement,
from which wc make the following ab
stracts:
ASSETS.
Ice House and two machines com
plete $51,950.00
Store house and lot 1,650.00

1873 2.251.60
1874 5 367.17
1875 2,633.60
$12,708 45
J. O. Mathewson said the statement
just received was a gratifying one;
profits were usually promised in
the indistinct future, but in this case
it was different. On motion, the report
was received.
James A. Gray reiterated the senti
ments of Mr. Mathewson and suggested
plans which would aid in promoting
the future prosperity of the company.
On motion, the old board of officers
were re-elected by acclamation, with J.
O. Mathewson as a director in place of
Dr. Lawton removed from the city.
American Genius— Moody and Sankey.
—The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and
Sankey, who electrified staid old England
with their eloquence and enthusiasm, are
fair samples of American genius. Spring
ing lrorn among the common people, their
sympathies are alive to tho wants of the
whole people, and herein lies the secret of
their great success. Those who seek to be
popular must study and be familiar with
the wants of the masses, and prove loyal
thereto. To this fact wo may trace the
grand success in business, as well as in ri -
ligious undertakings, which many Ameri
cans have achieved. Strikingly illustra
tive of these suggestions is that great es
tablishment. located at Buffolo, N. Y., and
known as the “World’s Dispensarya
most appropriate name indeed, for that
vast institution, within whose wallg are
manufactured remedies which are in de
mand in every quarter of the globe, and at
which a corps of distinguished physicians
and surgeons, under the personal di
rection of Dr. Pierce, are constantly
administering to the needs of thous
ands of sufferers everywhere, and whose
success in the treatment of all forms
of chronic ailments has become so well
known that there is scarcely a hamlet in
the land in which his name is not familiar.
Its proprietor, says the Herald and Torch
light, of Detroit, “is a man of llie people,
writes for them, and to them tenders his
eminent professional services.” His ad
vertisements are earnest exportations.—
Like the great revivali-ts, his enthusiasm
is muiiiplied by the unparalleled success of
his enterprise, as well as by the efficacy of
his remedies in curing disease. The people
believe in him and his remedies, because, as
the New York Tribune says, *• he sympa
thizes with them in all their afflictions, ef
forts and attainments.” Hence, Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is to-day more
largely employed as a blood and liver med
icine, and also as a cougli remedy, than any
other remedial agent in the world. His
Favorite Prescription, he does not recom
mend as a “cure-all,” as is so often done
by compounders of worthless, humbug
nostrums, but for ail diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women it has proved it
self so much of a specitic that it now en
joys great popularity and universal confi
dence. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, “scarcely larger than mustard
seed,” have proved so agreeable and re
liable as a cathartic that they are rapidly
taking tho place of the largo, nauseous
Eills heretofore so much in use; while his
oinpound Extract of Smart-Weed is a fa
vorite remedy for Colic. Cramps, Summer
Complaint, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera
and Cholera Morbus, and also as a liniment.
Of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and Dr.
Pierce’s Nasal Douche, little need be said,
as they are known everywhere as the
greatest Specifics for Catarrh and “cold in
the head” ever given to ; ' public. And
besides This large measure of success, Dr.
Pierce seems iikely to achieve as great re
nown as an author as he has as a physi
cian. His Common Sense Medical Ad
viser, a book of about 900 pages, which he
sells at the un: ar,tiled low price of $1.50,
has already been sold to the extent of ex
hausting two editions amounting to forty
thousand copies. The secret of Dr.
Pierce’s success, as well as that of tho
great revivalists, and scores of other Amer
icans, who by their genius have advanced
step by step from obscurity to affluence
and distinction, consists in treating the
people with consideration, sympathy, can
dor and honesty. No man, who hopes to
attain either wealth or distinction, can
afford to deal unfairly with the world or be
indifferent to the wants and best inter
ests of numanity. nov3o-tuthsa&c
Soft hearts often harden, but soft
heads never change.
Hephzibah.
Richmond County, Doc. 2, 1875.
Mr. Editor: —The weather continues
perfectly awful. Not a clear day, lo !
these many days, and co-day has been
raw, cold, drizzling rain most; of the
day, and with the advent of night came
cold, chilly winds from the northeast,
sending chilly sensations through the
system. The leading question now
should be, how will the poor be proper
ly cared for during the cold reign of
winter? Many are out of employment
who depended entirely on their daily
labor for a support, anil while I sit by
the warm fire I cannot help wondering
how such a large class of our people
will pass the winter. May God temper
the winds and lead those who are well
to do in this world’s goods to provide
of their abundance for those not pro
perly provided with food and clothing.
Notwithstanding the low price of
corn, I see many poor hoises and
mules poor indeed, and hard of heart
must the man be who will permit the
dumb animal to suffer. I see posted in
places a notice, of which the following
is a copy:
“Concert—Charades and a supper.—
There will be a concert, several cha
rades and a supper given by the ladies
of the Missionary Society, at Hephzi
bah, Ga., Friday night, December 10,
1875. Doors will be oped at six o’clock.
Exercises will commence at seven
o’clock. Admission to concert and
charades, twenty-five cents; admission
to supper, fifty cents. Oysters will be
served.” .
The Society has for its object mis
sionary purposes, such as are acknowl
edged by the Hephzibah Baptist Asso
ciation. It is hoped the receipts will be
large. Occasional.

Popular. —So popular liave Dr.
Price’s True Flavoring Extracts and
Cream Baking Powder become that but
few kitchens cau be found where they
are not used, and their introduction io
any household is the advo ;<t of new
pleasures at the table and higher de
light in the lighte** edibles supplied by
the careful ho jse-keeper. Dr. Price
has succeeded in both these important
domestic necessities, in producing ar
ticles hitherto unequalled. H ! s fla
vorings are peculiarly delicious, and so
highly concentrated that it t ikes but
a small quantity to impart the r aturai
flavor of the fruit. His Cream Baking
Powder should be bought only in cans,
as loose powder is largely adulterated,
and often sold as Dr. Price’s when it
is not. nov3o-tuthsasu&c
Prompt Reinforcement. —When the
physical energies are overtasked or
flag through weakness or disease, they
need prompt reinforcement. Renewed
vigor is most speedily supplied through
the medium of tonic stimulant, and
among medicinal resourced of that
class, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as
suredly deserve a pre-eminent place.
Weakness, whether constitutional or
arising from disease or ovur-fatigue,
cannot be better compensated for than
by a resort to this prime strengthening
cordial. The enfeebled invalid, the
convalescent and the aged and infirm
find that it is an unfailing source of
vigor and comfort. Its combined toni*
and alterative properties also consti
tute it an invaluable remedy for indi
gestion, weakness of the organs of
urination, constipation, torpidity of the
liver, and many other irregularities
and disabilities, and rendei it an in
valuable protection against malaria, as
well as disorders of the stomach and
bowels. nov3o-tiithsa&c

In Cotton, the market has been somewhat
dull and prices have gradually declined.
The only demand has been for the be.ter

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that i often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they yiay be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney 7 Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by 7 them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.

alter reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
Savannah, Ga , April 28,1872,
Dii. Tiitt In gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wi h great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am how per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me: I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have,lung
or throat disease. Very respect fully,

OYSTER SHELL LIME.
The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in
Use in Georgia.
NOTHING ill the way of a Fertilizer and
Renovator of old soils has been found
equal to PUKE OYSTER bHELL LIME.
It is not only for one year, but its good
effects are seen and continues for eight to
ten years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all
Giam Crops, applied as a top dressing, and
also to Potatoes and all root crops, and
should be applied in quantities not less
than sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost
Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters
of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci
ally recommended to bring up our State to
the front rank in Agricultural matters. The
cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME
will recommend it to every farmer who has
used fertilizers largely for the past few
years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its
long years of service, actiug as it does for
years after its application has been forgot
ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub
stances the manunal quality in Lime is
more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds
in all soils of common fertility, but little of
it is available—Lime uulocks this store
house of Nitrogen and renders it readily
available for plant food. A splendid and
econo i ical compost fertilizer may be made
by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt
and three of Lime, and let the mixture
stand six to eight weeks bofsre using. This
is specially adapted to using in drills for
Turnips. The cheapness and facility of
procuring this wonderful renovator of the
soil ought to make it one of the first objects
of the farmer (who desires to improve his
land) to obtain it. Nothing in the way of a
fertilizer or renovator has been found equal
to it, as proved by the increased yield of
crops and permanent improvement of the
soil at a cost less, by far, than any other
manure. Wo are prepared to furnish PUKE
OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity
at $lO per ton of 2,000 pounds, free of cart
age, on cars in Port Royal, S. C.
We also have a Compound for Prevent
ing Uot in Grapes for sale at SSO per ton.

“THE BOYS IN GREY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore 'she grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous hearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a fine head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers !—very few. We all love admira
