TIKE COON HUNTER’S SONG.
Tusk—'• Oh, its my delight,” bee.
Come all ye jolly hunters.
The time is not too soon—
To make full preparation
Tohuntthat “Same Old Coon I"
It is the same “old varmint,” boya,
That fooled us once before—
Then let’s prepare,
The sport to share,
la Eighteen forty-four!
Then, lads, draw near, and lend an eatf.
While we rehearse a song;
Tho’ homely words, they still are true,
And to hist’ry now belong—
The history of MO, boys,
Of Coons and lies a score—
None can forget—
We'll pay them yet.
In Eighteen forty-four!
The “ Better Times” they told us of—
The certain sure “ relief”—
With “two dollars” in our pockets, boys,
And our bellies full of “ beef 1”
These things they freely promised uj.
As well as msny more— *
But don't regret—
We’ll pay them yet,
In Eighteen forty-four!
These, in mem'ry, still are fresh.
But no where else we vow—
And many's the lid looked smiling then,
Who's broken hearted now 1
Suc h disappointments ue'er were felt
In any “ times” before—
But, boys, don'r fret—
We'll pay them yet.
In Eighteen forty-four!
The “Confidence" they preach'd about.
There's noue of it in vogue.
Except upon the brazen face
Of some defaulting rogue;
And of this class—'' it’s no mistake,'*
There's daily growing mure-—
We firmly swear
For vengeance dear.
In Eighteen forty four!
The “Better Waoes," where are they!—
We ne'er have seen the likes—
Instead of “ two a day,” my boys.
We’ve nothing else bat “ Strikes !'*
They sue us for “conspiracies”—
To the Sheriff hand us o’er;
But pretty soon.
We’ll thrash the Coon,
In Eighteen forty-four!

per acre—as an examination of our Farms, at this time, up
on the Oustanaulee and Ktowah. will fully prove. One acre

are well supplied with ashes) from the lstof October to 1st
April. Five bushels (with one lerge, or two small loots to
a hill) will plant one acre—and tvro ploughings and hceings

I have seen your advertisement, and in compliance with
your wishes, take this opportunity to state, that l have culti
vated the Jerusalem Artichoke for the last two years, and
was, I believe, tlie first to introduce it into Georgia from
Tennessee.
There is no exaggeration in the account you give of it, ac
cording to my experience; audits introduction into Geor
gia, will create an important era and readerour citizens, in
a short time, in a great measure, independent of western
supplies of pork.

COUGH LOZENGES
D is. m 4.i s < t,o/,i \i.i:> are now
rat
rapidly snpercediug all other prepartious for the re-
liet of Cough, Colds. Asuima, Whooping Cough. Catarrh
Tightness of the Chest, Bronchitis, and similar Pulmonary
affections.
Hundreds Of persons could now be pointed out. who have
been troubled with an old lingering Cough from five to
twenty years, nnd who hart been entirely Cured by usiug
two or three boxes of theie Lozenges. In fact, the proprie
tors have never known an instance where they did not give
perfect satisfaction.
Sudden Colds snd Coughs are cured by them in a few
few months,'restoring to health persons in almost every stage
of Puiiuoiiary affections spd those laboring under the mo3t
distressing Colds and Coughs.. They do not check and dry
up the cough, but redder it easy, promote expectoration, re
lieve congestion, allay tlie tickling or irritation, and remove
the prokintate or exciting cause. They are made from a
combination of tlie most valuable expectorant, or Cough
Medicines, and are undoubtedly superior to every thing in
use fnrthase complaints. Hundreds upon hundreds bl cer
tificates have been offered of tbeir wonderful virtues, from
those who, it is justly thought, have been saved from an un
timely grave, and restored to perfect health, by using them.
Death itself lias already deprived of life iu hundreds and
its thousands, whom this valuable medicine might have sa
ved. if it had only been taken in time. How important it is,
then, that e very individual should attend to the curing of a
Cough, which lias such a powerful tendency i> undermine
the constitution before the least danger is suspected. Ado-
lay Of a few days often proves fatal. No medicine will be
found mor* efficacious than these Lozenges j they are as
pleasant to the taste as sugar Candy.

^RE the surest ami safest Wobm DkstkuTing Midi
cine ever discovered. It is estimated, that, in the U-'
nited States, ONE IIL'XDUKD THOUSAND CHILDREN DIE AN-
NPALLT. FROM THE EFFECT OF WORMS ALONE. This vast
mortality can be almost entirely prevented, by the use of
IlUfofo’S CEIiEBRATIiU LOZIHGBB.
Grown peisons are very often afflicted with Worms, and
are doctored for various conplaints. without any benefit;
when one or two doses nf the Lozenges would speedily cure
them. They ar< tin infallible remedy, and so pleasant to
the taste, that children will take them as readily as they
would a common peppermint lozenge.
Thousands and tens of thousands pine away ahd die of
Wnitus. without suspecting the real disease. The follow
ing are a few of the symptoms—Hendache, pale lips, flush-
ed cheeks, disturbed dreams, feverishness, thirst, bad taste
in tbe mnutb, offensive breath, itching of the nostrils, pain in
the stomach, nausea, unnatural appetite, swelled stomach or
limbs, sense of some tiling-rising in the stomach, Ac.
To. parents we say, do uot be without these Lozenges at
nny time—attend to these suggestions, as you value the lives
of your children.
