and is darker than usual, Costiveness, Melan

will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and thus cure all
diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac
tion.
it has been used for a great number of years,
and has given universal satisfaction.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origional recipe. It is put up in both Pow

Fairbckn, Ga., Sept. 4, 1868.
DR. O. S. PROPIIITT:
Sir: My wife has been an invalid for fifteen
years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis
ease.” In connection with their practice she
used various and noted remedies, none of which
seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I pi-ocu

agent here, C. A. Harvey, which being given ac
cording to directions, has affected a comolete

CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Sept. 24,1868.
I have used T)r. 0. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi
cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and
efficacious. It is excellent for functional de
rangement of the Liver or constipation of the
bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of medicine.
E. J. MEYN ARDIE, Pastor Tryon-str. C’h.
Marion County, Texas, Aug. 1,1869.
DR. O. S. PROP HITT:
Dear Sir: I write you this to inform you that
I have been troubled a great deal with indiges
tion, but after using one bottle of your Liver
Medicine, I find great relief, I cheerfully re
commend it as a good Family Medicine, and feel
confident that it is good for anything for w hich
it claims to be an antidote. Very respectfully,

Dr. Prophitt’s Dysentery Cordial,
Is one of the most valuable compounds now put
up for Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infantum,
or Cholera Morbus.
This medicine has been in use for years, and
gives uniuersal satisfaction.
The most delicate child may take it with im
punity.
Covington, Ga., Nov. 9,1867.
I)R. PROPHITT:
Having a severe attack of Dvsentery during
the past summer, I was induced to use your Dv
sentery Cordial, and derived therefrom irnmedi
ate and permanent relief. It gives me pleasure
to recommend this remedy to all who may be so
attacked, believing that, should the directions
be followed, relief would surely be obtained.—

It is a complete success. J. L. WHITTLE.
West Point, Ga., Aug. 11,1869.
This is to certifv that 1 have used Dr. O. S.

family, for twelve months or more, and I unhes

Family ’Medicines in use. M. T. WALKER.
PROPHITT’S
Pain Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’ Pain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Propbitt change the
name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT.
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any
kind it has no equal.
For Cuts, Bruises, Burns, or old Sores, it is the
best thing you can use as a dressing.
For Snake Bites or Stings of Poisonous Insects,
it is a perfect ANTIDOT E.
It is good for Colic, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel
Complaints. Its name indicates its naturefully.
It is truly DEATH to pain.
Manufactured and sold by BRADFIELD A
CO., Atlanta, Ga., and for sale by all druggists.
DOOLY Bounty, Ga., April, 1867.
This is to certify that I was confined to the
house, and most of the time to my bed, and suf
fering the greatest agony imaginable with Rheu
matism, for five mouths, and after trying every
available remedy, with no relief, I was cured
with two bottles of Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Auodyne
Pain Kill It; each costing fifty cents only. It
relieved me almost instantly. I therefore re
commend it in the highest degree to others suf
fering from similar disease. I can say that it is
one of the finest Family Medicines now out, cer
tain. Yours, truly, W. A. FOREHAND.
Dooly County, Ga., Oct. 27, 1867
DR. O. S. PROPHITT:
I have, during the last eigeteen months, used
your Pain Kill It, and I consider it unequaledby
anything for pain in the head, breast, back or
side: and for colic nothing gives relief half so
quick as your Anodyne Pain Kill.
It is doing much good in the community in o*
ther families as well as mv own. Yours, Ac.,

The following article we pu!>-
lisb. by request of cue of our staunch
old citizens, who says ho “wishes to
see it in several numbers of the Ex
press
What tlie Hardsliells Say.
Advice of the Ipetoic Association
to ttic Oinreheji Composing' l»e r
Body, in Regard to the Home
stead.
There is a clause iu the Constitution
of the State of Georgia which grants
any citizen of the State the right to
withhold from the payment of his
debts the sum or its equivalen of SBOOO
iu gold. This is a privilege of which
we may naturally and reasonably ex
pect the “world” will take the benefit;
aud some members of the Church have
been so inconsiderate as to suppose
that it was not wrong for them to take
the benefit of it, inasmuch as it is the
law of the land. But we hold that no
Christian can take the benefit of that
law without violating the law 7 of Christ.
even if he is not in debt. For if he is
iu debt, and takes the advantage of
that law with the purpose of paying
his debts, he is taking an undue ad
vantage of his creditors, in using their
money against their will; for if he had
the consent of his creditor, there
would be no necessity to resort to the
Homestead. The Word of God de
clares that the “borrower is servant to
the lender,” but the Homestead makes
the lender servant to the borrower; it
places the creditor at the mercy of the
debtor. It is a further violation of the j
law of God, which requires us to do
unto others as we would have them
do unto us. We would advise breth
ren to note the fact, in the first chap
ter of Daniel, that the Hebrew chil
dren would not eat the portion of
meat and wine provided them, by, the
King of Babylon, because they could
not do so without defiling themselves;
nor do we believe that a Christian can
under any circumstances take the ben
efit of the Homestead without defiling
himself, even if he is not in debt; for
one not in debt has no excuse to re
sort to the Homestead, and hence
must be influenced by a spirit of “pro
viding for the things of to-morrow,” in
violation of the law of Christ. And if
it ia wrong to resort to the Homestead
to stay the payment of his it is
of course, wrong to resort to it to es
cape them wholly, whether it be as
principal or security; because in this
case as in the other, it is a violation of
contract. We believe that we fully
appreciate tha difficulties by which
some brethren are surrounded, who
are in debt and who have lost their
property by the late war, but we still
hold that they are not thereby justi
fied in doing wrong; but that they are
not required by the 1;w of Christ to
turn the other cheek, and, to give the
cloak also, that is, that the loss of
property is not to move them from right
nor even life itself. For we know
that these trials have not been permit
ted to come upon us to drive us from
the sanctuary of God, to trust in an
arm of flesh, and to make us worse,
but they are designed rather to cause
us to amend our ways and build up
the breaches in the wall that separates
us from the world. We are command
ed by Christ to “seek first the king
dom of God and his righteousness and
all these things (food and raiment)
shall be added unto us.” We are
taught by Him that He cares for the
sparrows, that the hairs of our heads
are numbered, that he clothes the
fields and that his care is much great
er for us; that no good thing will be
withheld from them that walketh up
rightly. Surely then we depart from
sure promises when w e violate his law
in taking advantage of our neighbor
(exhorting his consent) to stay the
payment of our debts, or to escape
them entirely, or if out of debt to
provide before-hand for escaping our
obligations in future. We khiuk it an
erring from the faith, hence disorder
ly, and as such we are commanded to
withdraw from it. Nor is it resistance
to the law of the land to decline avail
ing ones self of the benefits of the
Homestead, for none are compelled by
law to take it; and even if they were,
we hold that it would be wrong for
them to do so, but still not to resist
that or any other law of man by force,
which is the kind of resistance we are
forbid to resort to and which brings
damnation. We are commanded to
resist the devil in any guise he may
present himself. But Christians are
required to submit to any Lsses they
may incur by the people of the world
taking the homestead. We are com
manded to love one another, and
Editors and Proprietors.
j should manifest that love iu a great
(measure to our brethren who, rather
than violate the law of Christ in tak-
S iug a homestead, should render all
they have to their creditors; and this
we believe, brethren you will do.
Therefore, we advise that any mem
ber who resorts, under any circum
stance, to the homestead, be dealt
with by the church, not as an enemy
but as an erring brother; and that all
Scriptural means bo used to retain
and reclaim him. Aud we advise all
brethren who have resort ul to the
homestead to renounce it and return
to the bosom of the church, and we
believe that it will be well with them.
Brethren, let us remember that he has
promised never to leave nor forsake
us; that He has loved us with an ev
erlasting love, chosen us to salvation
before the world began, redeemed us
by His Son, and quickened and taught
us by His spirit, and that we are to
glorify Christ as the light of the world
and the salt of the earth; and seeing
such unspeakable mercies are bestow

Pasture with Sliccp.
The Farmer and Fireside says it
may “not be known to farmers in gen • j
eral that it is a common practice in some
of the potato growing districts to turn
a flock of sheep for the purpose of eat
ing down the weeds. The sheep will
not touch the potato vine. This pas
turing with sheep is very advantageous
w hen the crop is a late planted one, so
that the hoeing cannot be completed
until the haying or harvesting is fin
ished. At the growing season it is
the farmer’s aim to keep down the
grass and weeds, so that they may be
covered by the cultivator and hoe,
wnen these are used. Pasturing the
sheep will attain this object. Early
planted crops, the cultivation of which
is complete iu the early part ofthe sum
mer, frequently becomes grassy and

the size of the tops precludes cultiva
tion. Ia this stage the sheep areeco.
nomical weeders. It is hardly neces
sary to mention that the feed thus giv
en to the sheep makes a double profit,
inasmuch as it costs absolutely noth

prevented from seeding.”
A ROMANCE OF THE EAST.
llow a Beautiful white Girl Be
came the Slave of Two Black
Women, and then the Wife of
Count Benedetti.
Louise Muhlbaeli, in her “Letters
from Egypt,” tells a very romantic sto
ry about the wife of Count Benedetti,
the French Minister Plenipotentiary at
the Prussian court before the outbreak
of the present war.
Avery rich Greek merchant, resi
dent in Alexandria, had two black
wives, whom he loved dearly, and for
whose service he provided a large ret
inue of beautiful girls. One of his
wives, one day, chauced to see a charm
ing white girl, aud was so pleased with
her that she coaxed her husband into
buying her.
The beautiful slave became a confi
dential servant and companion to her
mistresses, and conducted herself to
wards them iu such a sagacious man
ner that she became indispensable to
them. She sang to them, aud gossip
ed and frolicked so gracefully that en
nui was banished completely. She
won their affection, and through them,
also, the affection of her master, the
venerable Greek merchant.
But unfortunately, the black wives
suddenly fell sick one day, and before
nightfall they were both dead. Their
disease was known to nobody, and
they were hastily buried. The beauti
ful young slave, who had not left their
side for a moment during the few
hours of their illness, seemed incon
solable. She did her best, however, to
; assuage the grief of the aueient mer
chant, and in this way so endeared her
self to him that he adopted her as his
child and heir, since he was just a lit
tle 100 old to marry her. In course of
time the venerable sage rejoined his
swarthy wives in the other world, and
the fortunate nymph came into posses
sion of his millions. At this stage of
her exist nco Count Denedetti, who
was then only a penniless attache to
the Trench consulate in Alexandria,
offered her his hand and heart, and
having married her, with the aid of her
wealth cut for himself a road to fame.
In this way, she who was once a slave
to slaves, beearno a star in tne circles
of the French world of fashion.

bor darts down here and there, aud
sips elegantly wherever he can find a
drop of ready nectar; but this dingy
plodder makes a point of alighting ev
erywhere, and everywhere he alights
he either finds honeY or makes it. If
the flower-cup be deep, ho goes down
to the bottom: if its dragon-mouth be
shut, he thrusts his lips asunder; and
if the nectar be peculiar or recondite,
he explores all about till he discovers
it, and then having ascertained the
knack of it, joyful as one who has

Header, to which do you belong ?
the butterflies or bees? Do you search
the Scriptures, or do you skim them ?
Do you dwell on a passage till you
bring out some moaning, or till you
carry away some memorable truth or
immediate lesson ? or do you flit along
on heedless wing, only on the lookout
for novelty, and too frivolous to explore
or ponder the Scriptures? Does the
Word of God dwell in you so richly
that in the vigils of a restless night, or
in the bookless solitude of a sick room,
or in the winter of old age or exclu
sion from ordiances, i t s treasured
truths would perpetuate summer

JWarThe Louisville, Courio'-Journal,
speaking of tho election in this State
says;
‘‘Georgia, tho thrice reconstructed
Empire State of tho South—Georgia,
the victim of Forney’s slanders and
Bullock’s gang of plunderers—Geor
gia, the supreme object of Grant’s so
licitude and Akerman’s cunning statu
tes and partisan construction—Geor
gia, so long the subject of Terry’s gen
tle dominion— has gone Democratic
by somewhere between thirty and fifty
thousand. There is no use of putting
too fine a point on a victory so over
whelming. There are 200,000 voters
in that State, of whom perhaps a bare
majority are white Democrats, the re
mainder being about ninety thousand
colored voters and seven or eight thou
sand Radical office-seekers. It is there
fore plain that tho colored troops have
fought nobly under the old Democratic
banner. If this doesn’t put an end to
Radical deviltry in the South, nothing
short of a Red sea catastrophe can
reach their case. Tennessee, Alabama,
East and West Virginia, Missouri,
North Carolina, and, at last, Georgia,
redeemed, ought to teach even a more
obstinate and thick headed, man than
Grant that no chains can long shackle
the people of this country.
Living Beyond their Means.
Buhver says that poverty is only an
idea, nine cases of ten. Some men
with ten thousand dollars a year suffer
more for the want of means than oth
ers with three thousand dollars. The
reason is, the richer man has artificial
wants. His income is ten thousand
dollars, and he suffers enough from
being dunned for unpaid debts to kill
a sensitive man. A man who earns a
dollar a day and does not run in debt,
is the happier of the two. Very few
people who have never been rich will
believe this; but it is true. There are
thousands and thousands with prince
ly incomes who never kuow a mo
ments peace, because they live above ■
their means. There is really moro
happiness in the world among the
working people than there is among
those who are called rich.
