The largest suit ever brought in Dooly county was filed in our Su perior court a few days ago against Mrs. Geo. W. Marvin of Cordele by Mrs. Helen Hardy of Atlanta for the sum of$100,0#0. It seems that this suit is brought to com pel compliance with the terms of a suit settled in 1SS9. This same party brought a guit some years ago against Dr. Marvan for certain very valuable property in Atlanta. That case was settled by the Dr. making her a deed to certain property and promised, she claims, to make his will, leaving her the property now pued for. It seems the t he died leaving no will and she now conies in asking that liis widow, who was his sole heir, be compelled to carry out this agree ment. Tho suit as filed contains some very spicy reading and is not only for a very largo amount but is in teresting throughout and will be watched with interest. fEACHEKS, INSTITUTE.

A Peculiar Remedy. _ „ , t'res. insui Last week young George Hudson j >B Lo!iG Scc y of Sumter county went to tho ’ woods to dig gensang root for his father to make a remedy for rheu matism, from which lie was a great sufferer. When he returned his father told him that lie had made a mistake and got the wrong root. Tin son was sure he had gensang and made a tea of it. His father refused to drink it and the son Clay, now in attendance upon the Institute of Southwest Georgia, in the city of Albany, that the thanks of this body are due and are here by mast cordsally extended to Hon. II. W. J. Ham and other members of the last General Assembly, of said State, for their active efforts in trying to have said teachers more promptly paid. Resolved further, That we ear nestly request the next Legislature to enact some law to remedy said wrong. Resolved further, That wc re quest the following dailies, the News and Advertiser, the Albany Herald, the Atlanta Constitution and the Atlanta Journal and all the weeklies in said enumerated coun ties, as well as the Georgia Teacher and Southern Educational Journal, to publish these resolutions. S. D. Bradwell, Pres. Institute and S. S. C. Bills Payable $5,000.00. $64,699.33. A Card. A Popular Office- Every male citizen of the town is now very envious of the office held by Mayor pro tem J.

This was ail took a big swallow to convince his , 6c I , . ... * brought about in this manner. Last FridayJtwoJTurks, man and woman, were reported to be ped dling in the town without license. father. In a few moments the boy took convulsions and died. We were speaking of this with Judge J. D. Hargrove and the con versation naturally turned on tiie usefulness of many herbs and weeds and how easily we could physic ourselves if we only knew how to prepare them, when he told us of this war time remedy. His father lived near Flint river and at certain seasons oT tho year they all, negroes and whites, suf fered with chills and fever. Dur ing the war no quinine was to be had." Nor were many patent nos trums sold for chills and fever, as there are now. When any one on the plantation began to have chills, his mother, who was both physi cian, mistress and nurse, would send some one to the corn crib for a few fresh shucks off the corn.. From these she would make a strong shuck tea and make them drink of it very liberally while it was hot—and it would stop the chills every time. In the absence of Mayor Heard, Mr. Lashley, as is his duty, took the matter in hand and had them to come before him. The license for peddling iu the town is $5,00. Acting Mayor Lashley demanded this sum of them but they could not under stand English, especially to the tune of $5.00. Finally he told them if they would pay $1.50 and leave town at once he would let them off. They began to under stand English now. The woman who seemed to be treasurer, paid tiie $1.50, grabbed Mr, Lashley around the neck and before he could protest (the boys say he didn-’t try to stop it) gave him several kisses and a good hugging and was soon out of sight down the railroad.

Mrs. E. A. Mchlreath. In consequence of certain ru mors being circulated to the effect that the death of Mr. N. T. Christ mas’ little girl, Carrie, on the 2nd inst. was caused by his whipping or otherwise mistreating her; and in justice to Mr. Christmas and family, I desire to state, that, as his family physican, I was called to see her Saturday afternoon and returned the game night and re mained with her until she died. That her death resulted purely and entirely from natural causes, her disease being dropsy, resulting from a debilitated and anaemic condition of the system, which harf been pending for some time, and the immediate cause being a col lection of the dropsical fluid around the heart. How any one can be so thought less, cruel and unkind as to either circulate or believe such reports as are now out, it is hard to under- tand. Tho heat-broken parentss have already suffered enough in the loss of their little one, and deserve the sympathy and condol ence of every-body, in their sore affliction. C. T.
