follows:
“Replying to your favor of the 9t.h inst.,

River Junction to New Orleans aud Return

The Savannah News, in iliseniwing
the new hotel project in Savannah says:
The little city of Thnmasville has two
large hoMs—elegant Mitchell Hons-,
recently rebuilt, and the Pinev Woods
Hotel, one of the handsomest structures
in the country. Both of these hotels were
bn fit dv citizens of Thomas vi lie, not a
dollar having been received from any
other source.
Binee these baidings were beirv.u the.
population of that city Las increased from •
2.500 to 4.4 rL The hotels are nut the only
buildings that heve been erected iu the ;
eity men'if.lied. Elegant private resi- :
donees aud fine business houses have been ;
built. The surrounding country has felt j
the influence of the spirit of progress that (
has been displayed iu the town. Persons j
who came to stop only a shott while have ]
been so impressed by their surroundings i
and accommodations that they remained j
longer than they intended, 'and, being ;
plepsed ou further acquaintance with the 1
jieople, made investments aud became
citizens.
The fact while Savannah has been talk
ing about putting up a new hotel, Thoin-
asville has put a quarter of a million into
two large hotels, should be a good exam
ple to Savannah. That city to better able
to put two millions into hotels than is

I have just received a letter from my
brother, Major G. A. Wight, Cairo, Thomas
county, Ga., which shows very plain'y
that it is better to grow some other ar
ticles besides common cotton. Ho says:
“I planted six acres last year in sea island
cotton, which tinned me out three bales
or sacks, which I have just sold for S330.”
Besides this he had 800 lbs. of Georgia
callurd seed grown on four acres. These
were sold at 40 cents pec pound. That,
you see, is much better than an all-cotton
crop. S. B. Wight.

CANCER CURED.
Mrs. Oliver Hardeman, an old resident
of Walton county, and a lady of culture and
prominent-#, has this to say of the treat
ment of cancer with Swift's Specific:
Over ilitcen years ago a cancer made its
appearance on my face. It was treated
with plasters, and the core came out. The
place healed up after some time, and
seemingly my face was was well. How
ever, in a few years it returned again with
more violence than ever. It gave me a
great deal of pain. The former remedy
seemed to do it no good. Knowing the
diseasease to run in the family, having had
one sister to die with cancer, I became
seriously apprehensive of my condition.
It continued to Increase in size and
virulence. I almost gave up all hope of
ever boing cured. The physicians advised
the use of the knife and caustic. This was
more than I could bear, and refused to
have-it operated upon in that wav. All
other remedies were used, but the cancer
continued to grow worse. The pain was
excruciating, and my life was a burden.
Iu this extremity my son, Dr. Hardeman,
recommended me to try Swift’s Specific.
It was tho last resort, but I was so
prejudiced against the use of patent medi
cines, and especially this one, that I
hesitated some time. At last I gave my
consent, not believing there was any virtue
ia it. The first bottle only increased the
size of the sore and the discharge from it,
and hence did not ins;lire me with any
hope. On taking the second bottle there
were signs of improvement, and ni\ faith
strengthened just iu proportion to that
improvement. The spot on my face began
to decrease, as well as. the di ■■•h u ge, ana
hope sprang up in my heart. Could it be,
I asked myself, tb it I was at last to be
relieved of this disease ? It has given me
so many dark hours in the past that the
idea of being well again almost overpow
ered me. There was a contest between
hope and fear for a long time. It was a
long night of weeping, but joy came with
tho moritig. There is nothing left to mark
the plaee but a small sear, aud I feel that
it is impossible for me to express my grati
tude for this great deliverance. It is a
wonderful medicine.

adopted a very reasonable schedule of
prices for the summer. They are as fol
lows : For offices, 10 pounds daily, 40 cents
per week; 15 pounds, 50 cents; 20 pounds,
60 cents; 25 pounds, 70 cents; 30pounds
and upwards, 4) cents per 100 pounds.
Families—13 pounds daily, 30 pounds
Saturday, oOceuts per week; 20 pounds, 40
pounds Saturday, 70 cents; 23 pounds and
upward, 49 cents pur 100 pounds. These
are substantially the same as last year’s
prices. The consumption of ice in New
York is over 1,030,ouo tons a year, and, al
lowing for waste, this requires a harvest of
near 2,000,000. Ice ought to be cheap in

On the day that the news of the fighting
oa Kuskh river was received wheat rttn Up
in New York ffom 92% cento a bushel to
one dol'ar a bushel; hog products were
excited and higher, and stocks were active
at a higher range of price#—but cotton wag
lower. It fall 15 points at the opening, and
the loss was not recovered during the
day. The story of the days business in
New York is the story of the effects npon
business in this country of great European
wars in general business in this country of
great European wars in general. The
North gains from them while the South
loses. Such wars invariably derange and
depress tin? cotton market; and why such
should be the effects is not easily explain
ed. A war between two great powers of
Europe cannot be said to lessen the con
sumption of cotton goods, and it rarely
interferes with any considerable number
of cotton mills, in case of war between
England and Russia, the former might
blockade the Russian ports, but she could
not prevent the introduction of cotton
goods or of raw cotton through the other
European countries. Russia would con
tinue to use cotton, and there is no reason
why the declaration of war should have a
depressing effect upon our grertstaple;
but nevertheless.it will have, or rather it
already has had, such an effect. The
points" lost will bo recovered if there is no
war. but if war follows, a still further fall
need not be surprising.
The South will, therefore, in case of a
long and stubborn war, get less for her
cotton, and have to pay more for the
wheat, corn, oats and hog products that
she buvs from the Northwest. The
farmers'of the North will be benefitted by
a great war in Europe; many Northern
manufacturers will receive heavier orders,
and speculation in the Northern money
centers will receive a new impetus; but in

to a renewed and intensified
appreciation of our ability,
willingness and determined
purpose to be recognized as the
most substantial and business
like establishment of the place
and section.
Ours is no little concern of a
few .weeks growth, planting its
glaring catch-penny baits, but
is in its entirety and its every
detail a solid and substantial
business establishment, found
ed upon and backed by an
ample capital and controlled by
the gathered wisdom of fifteen
years experience.
Every citizen of the county
and section is urged to call and
examine our immense sto:k
Spring and Summer Goods. It
is noted for its variety, and
superb in its dazzling array of
seasonable novelties.
As it is to the interest of
every purchaser to buy goods
ffom the largest and most sub
stantial business establishment
accessible fo fbelky and as we
occupy that proud position in
this section, we can see no
reason why this should not be
a year of prosperity to us and
of happiness and satisfaction to
our customers.
