Columbus,Sept.3.—A large shipment

Jefferson, Irom North Carolina. It
sold in a short time at the usual jute
price. It seems to be a good substi
tute for the “tiust” material.

It is asserted that a negro is as
good as a white man in Ohio. It the
negro is not better than some ot the

The New York Advertiser says:
half a million of dollars a year
can become known as a large adver.
ttiser in American newspapers; but
many an advertiser lias expended
more than $50,000 in a single month
without using a single papers publish
ished outside the twelve or fifteen
largest cities. A page advertisement
inserted once in all the New York
dailies would cost not less than $3,
000.”
The Georgia larmers attended an
entertaiment in Cincinnati, in which
one hundred and twenty ballet girls
figured. A correspondent, in describ
ing their costumes, says: "Their cos
tumes consisted ol fascinating smiles
and satin slippers.” Rather airy
costumes these. We arc surprised at
the staid, steady hay seed men of
Georgia. Some curtain lectures arc
down on the bills, when they return to
their wives.
Only five lawyers from Georgia were
present at the session of the American
Bar Association held last week in Chi
cago. They were Mr. W. I!. Hill, of
Macon; Mr. J. W. Aiken, of Carters-
ville, and Gen. A. R. I.awton, Col.
George A. Mercer and Mr. P. W. Mel-
drim, of Savannah. At the banquet
of the association there were seated
nearly 600 attorneys and counselors.
Gen. Lawton responded to the toast
to the bar.
The No Fence Law.
For the first time in the history of
Thomas county, or any portion of it,
a vote will soon be taken on the “no
fence” law, if the hill now pending
before the legislature becomes a law,
and we presume it will, as there can
he no objection to the free holders of
the section of the county south of the
railroad, voting 011 the question.
Wherever the experiment lias been
tried, it lias the universal endorsement
of the farmers. Counties in Middle
Georgia which have adopted the “no
fence” law, would not have the law
repealed for any amount. Ileal estate
has advanced heavily in every section
wlaft-e the law has been enacted. The
expense of keeping up fences is enor
mous. Few farmers, perhaps, have
correct idea of this drain 011 their
resources and time, unless they have
given the subject special study. Tis
said that the annual cost of keeping
up the fences in the United State:
amounts to a sum equal to the
interest on the national debt.
These ase startling figures, but
they are doubtless true. And then,
the growing scarcity of timber-
timber which is now becoming more
valuable every day—is another and
strong argument in tavor of doing
away with the fences.
The writer was, some months since,
driven through sonic of the farms in
the vicinity' of Fort Valley. Hous
ton county has for years had a 110
fence law. Instead of the ugly, un
sightly rail fences, with corners grown
up in weeds and bushes, these same
fence rows were green with growing
crops, the corn, oats and cotton grow
ing right up to the very edge of the
roadways. The farmer thus, not only
saved the expense of keeping up miles
of fencing, but he was utilizing 'every
inch of his ground. It was a goodly
sight. And then, while they did not
have a great deal of stock, it was good
stok. There wore no runts, 110 knotty
yearlings, piney woods rooters or razor
back hogs in sight.
We arc very sure that if the land
holders of the section referred to in
our county, could see sonic sections
where the law is in force, not 011c of
them would vote against the law.
We venture this prediction: Tf the
no fence law carries in the coming
election, that portion of the county
will soon be as noted for its thrift and
prosperity, as some portions of it are
now noted for being behind all other
sections of the county. The Duncan-
ilie district, the Glasgow district, and
that whole section, would blossom like
the rose.
Vote for the “no fence” law.
Geronimo’s Confinement.
Washington, Sept. 3.—It is not
probable that the war department will
take any steps in the matter of remov
ing the band ot Apaches from Mount
Vernon barracks, Alabama. Secretary
l’roctor said this morning that there
is a mandatory statute providing for
the confinement of these Indians at
some government barracks, and there
is no better place than where they now
arc. The Indian Rights Association
lias made a proposition to purchase a
large tract ot land in North Carolina
to which the Indians could be remov
ed, and where they could live’in partial
freedom, headed by that old warrior,
Geronimo, but Secretary Proctor is
not disposed to act until thepurcliasc is
consummated. In fact it would seem
that he is inclined to think that the
tribe is pretty well cared for now.
Georgia’s Mammoth Caye.
Rome, Ga., Aug- 30.—While a well
was being dug three miles in the coun
try yesterday, and when the workmen
had reached a depth of 25 feet,to their
consternation the bottom of the well
suddenly fell out, dropping them ten
feet and lodging them in a cave. An
exploration was the next tiling in or
der, and it was found that the cave
was several miles in length, with
chambers of various sizes here and
there. Finally the cave parted,several
apartments leading in various direc
tions. When the party returned, an
exploring party was formed, which will
thoroughly explore all parts of the
cave.
The explorers found many stalactites
and the bones of unknown animals.
The subteiranean passages are without
end, seemingly, and lead, perhaps, to
an immense cavern under the Laven
der mountains. The exploring party
consisted of Alfred Harper, J.B.Nevin,
Dr. Dozier and II. R. Harper.

heretofore to accommodate the trade, and 1
bespeak for him that support that has been
so liberally extended this mill in the past.
Very Respectfully,

Every third person you meet is
troubled more or less with biliousness,
and don’t know how to get rid of it.
The causes arc easily recorded. A lack
of sufficient exercise, eating too much
by persons of sedentary habits, indulg
ence in too rich food, a sluggish torpid
liver where the blood does not do its
duty, and bile is allowed to accumu
late; these cause the whites of the eye
to turn yellow, the skin to look thick
and coarse, and the complexion yellow
or dark. These are sure indications
of biliousness, llrown’s Iron Hitters
is the remedy you want. It acts di
rectly upon the blood, cleanses and
purifies it, and sends it on its journey
through the channels of the liver, giv
ing to it activity and clearing out the
bile. It will remove the yellow tinge
from the eyes and the complexion,
leaving the latter fresh and clear.
