I U Hljl alifill’s SPECIAL NOTICE.
■ re i large number of persons iridebti
toTne Fijee Press for subscription and advei -
Some have beett taking the paper evei
since it was commenced and have not paid out
cent for it* Many have promised to pay up al
harvest time. Now, we have to say that we art
very pressed for money to pay what we owe to
parties who have favored us, and we want every
<:■ nt flue us within the next twenty days.
It has been a severe and constant struggle to
~ p the paper in existence. We have waited
patiently for our friends to come to our rescue;
and, now, will they fulfill their promises and ob
ligation' to us? It requires a constant outlay of
cash money to publish a newspaper. We cannot
afford, and will not send the paper to any one
longer than a year on a credit.
The first year of The Free Press will expire
on the 18th of July, 1879, and we hope all will
come forward, settle up for the past and renew
with the cash.
Those owing for advertising must settle. We
have waited on some of them too long already.

| Tli© 3luch*M At*rit k and Memmler.
j About the 12th of August ho t thr-n
hunchbacked German and registered him
| *]f as “Dr. F. William Memmler, St
Louis, Mo., ’ at the Birtow House. Whei
j hunchbacked gentleman was unmen. -h
' c.iiiny, worm his hundred- of thons-
I tods of dollars, and that he had come
amongst us to establish a bloomarv i
created a commotion in our community,
fhe little man dressed in <y>w\ style,
drove a fine horse and was, withal, a
real dashing fellow. His perfumed toi
let indicated that money was no object
in the adornment of his person. Gold
watch and chain and dashing shirt but
tons dazzled our people, and they ex- j
peeled to see, ere long, “barrels ol i
money” afloat in the building and opera
tion of a great enterprise. In time a 1
small bloomery, costing two or three
thousand dollars, was constructed and 1
Put in operation, but is now stopped.
The little man was not content with
this single enterprise. He was a great
doctor. He could cure cancers, scrofula
and the worst forms of the most obsti
nate diseases. Indeed, tfiere was no dis
ease “to which flesh is heir to” that was ;
not compelled to succumb to his medical 1
skill, superior to that known in the his
tory of the medical profession. He had
been tlie proprietor of a great infirmary
in St. Louis, where he left scores of men
and women formerly diseased to bless his
memory. The result was he undertook
to and did establish a sort of infirmary
here, advertised it largely and the af
flicted came to him by scores. They
came with cancers, scrofula, etc., and
such was the magic of his treatment that
many came, paid heavy fees and left—-
uncured. But, fortunately for human
suffering, the little so-called doctor began
to wane in medical reputation. Some of
his patrons have died and others still lin
ger in hopeless disease.
In the meantime, the little man, trying
to do all the good he could (for himself),
although an atheist when he came to our
town, suddenly became very pious,
united himself with the church, and, for
a while, “a shining light thereof. The
arrows of Cupid struck him in the mid
dle of the heart, and the warm and fervid
rays of love reached out and cast their
light in the direction of matrimonial as
pirations, and found expression in the
wooing of a most estimable lady, belong
ing to one of the best families of the
county. He was successful in bis ad
dress, and hymen’s knot was soon tied,
only to be broken, as vve propose to tell.
A few weeks ago a warrant was is
sued by Esquire Pritchett on the charge
of bigamy, it being alleged tint be was
the tender husband and father of a de
serted wife and two Children in Missou
ri. For reason the w arrant wa ; not exe
cuted until about ten days ago. when be
was permitted to remain at heme under
guard. On Monday last the grand jury,
on the testimony of proper papers and a
witness in person from Missonii, found a
rue bill against the little doctor for big i
;ny. On Tuesday the case was brought
before the court and he was bound over
in the sum of two thousand dollars, when
he managed in some way to give the re
quired bond. The grand jury has also
found a true bill against him for adul
tery in living with his last victim unlaw
fully as his wife.
It appears that our little hunchback
hero did not hail from St. Louis. The
first we hear of him is that he came from
Wisconsin, where he had an infirmary.
That was burned up and the insurance
money paid upon ii. From there he
went to Kansas and established another
infirmary. We are not informed wheth
er the doctor lost anything by fire there
or not. At any rate, a few months found
him at Joplin, Mo., at the head of an
other infirmary. There he had the mis
fortune to be burned out, at least, the
second time, but fortune smiled on him
again through the lenses of an insurance
company and lie was saved again from
ruin. Cartersville was bis next place,
and, after passing through several fiery
ordeals unscathed, he finds himself in a
Bartow court being reviewed in a judi
cial way for too much marrying. When
the final trial will come we cannot tell.
“May the Lord have mercy on his soul”
if justice does not spare the corporeal
man!
A Splendid Organ to Baffle,
We have been advertising for several
weeks a splendid White So 3V ileox organ
to rutile, the price of which is $200.ol).
We propose to raffle it at $2.00 a chance
with only sixty chances, putting the
price of the organ down thereby at $120.-
00. It is a splendid instrument andean

it is represented to be, we copy the fol
lowing extracts:
From Prof. R. M. Mclntosh,'profes
sor of music at Emory col lege: “Send

for our commencement. I think that
the best of all reed organs for family.
Never saw the equal to it, etc.
From Prof. Schoeller, Da,ton female

From Prof G. 0. Looney, Jonesboro:
“All seemed well pleased in selecting

Obituary.
Balaam Bridges, Esq., of Bartow couii
ty, departed this life at his residence on
the 9th of July. The deeased was born
January 31st, 1847, was 32 years, 5
months and 9 days old at the time of bis
death.
4’he writer has known 3lr. Bridges for
many years, and takes pleasure in testi
fying to the sterling worth of this good
neighbor and friend. He joined the
Baptist church at Rowland springs eight
or nine years ago, and he remained a de
voted member until he died. lie was a
truly consistent man, always ready and
willing jn every good cause. Asa hus
band and father he was devoted and fond
—as a son, his mother remarke i “he was
always a good boy.” Ills engagements
were always promptly met—his word was
as good as his bond, lie had n any beau
tiful traits of character, and the writer
has never known a man in any rank o;
life who tried harder to do hi - duty to
society and to ljis family th m ' r. Lkie -
es. His neat little home was the result
of his toil and skill, and his industrious
•haracter is a good example to liis neigh
bors ang friends. When death came he
was resigned and patient, willing to give
his spirit to God, who bestowed it. Rev.
Mr. fleadden discoursed at hi- grave in
the most touching manner, end every
heart was filled with syn arl y fir the
bereaved family who mourne 1 his un
timely death. Our loss is his gain, and
we have ime brightest evidence of his ac
ceptance with God.
Earth is poorer in giving up such a
good citizen, but heaven has gained an
other saint, who awaits a re-union with
the loved ones he left behind to struggle
with the cares of this world. He had
faith in God, who has promised to shield
, ;; e fatherless and the widow, and to an
swer the prayers of his believing ehil
hvn, and we rejoice in the hope that the
example and precepts of this good man
will bear fruit in another world,

The Weather and the Crops.
The farmers are in great distress on
account of the dry weather. We have
not had a good rain since the 14th of
May. The corn and cotton have held
their own pretty well until within the
past tea days. Our corn is all fvjsted
and still there is no prospect of rain.
Nothing like a good crop can possibly
be made with the best seasons. The u-
Laois aim vbry despondent.
