“Women are a necessary evil,” he said, bring

size the heartless remark. It was in the village
store at West Milton, Saratoga comity, aud the
speaker was the central figure of a group of
bucbolic philosophers. He was homely, sloven

“There’s where I differ from you altogether”
said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same place,
“Women are mostly what men make ’em. Whn
husbands are brutes wires will fall ir to submis
sion or make home hot for the men; and they’re
unnatural in either character. Love them, and
especially be good to them when they’re sick,
and you’ll have no trouble. There’s my own
wife, now. She’s suffered a good deal with dys
pepsia, nervous prostration and other ailments
that took the bloom off her cheeks aud the spring
out of her steps. Well, she saw an advertise
ment of PARKER’S TONIC, and thought it
would be just the thing for her case. Gentlemen
1 sent five miles after a bottle. She took it. I
sent again after more. So several times. Trou

has done her you would say that wsrnen are the
greatest of God's blessings, and PARKER’S
TON IC is next.”
This preparation, which has been known as
Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be called
simply Parker’s Tonic. This change has been
rendered necessary by substitutes imposed upon
their customers by unprincipled dealers under

very disagreeable itching, particularly at night

Bowed knees and beautiful words can
not make prayer; but earnest desires
from a heart bowed by love, inspired by
God’s Holy Spirit, and thirsting for God,
the living God, will do it, anywhere, or

A SAVaNNAH MURDER.
New Orleans, Dec. 22.—This morning
a man giving the name of John F. King,
went to the Fourth precinct station and
gave himself up. saying that he had mur
dered his partner, Frank Willett, in No
vember, ISB2, on the Savannah river, op
posite the city. The prisoner was ar
raigned and remanded to the parish pris
on without the benefit of bail. King
said that he wanted to be taken back to
the scene of his crime and was willing to
sutler the penalty of death for the deed.
He said that ha had taken in Willett,
who was somewhat of a stranger to him
as a partner in his fishery business on
the Savannah river. They were to have
worked on shares. About November 27
Willett accused him of swindling him,
and they had a quarrel. In the heat of
passion King picked up an oar and struck
Willett over the head and killed him.
King then picked up the body of his vic
tim and threw ft into the river. The
body was found some days after, and as
the man was a stranger, the coroner re
turned a verdict that death was caused
by a blow inflicted by an unknown par
ty-
King remained in Savannah for some
time after the murder, and no one sus
pected him of the murder. After satis
fying himself that he would not be ar
rested he left the place, and after travel
ing through 'different towns, working a
few days at each, he finally reached this
city. About a week ago, Tuesday night,
a feeling of remorse came over him, and
he concluded that the only way in which
he could set his mind at rest, and to ex
piate his crime, was to surrender him
self, and he accordingly walked to the
nearest police station and made a clean
breast of the whole affair. lie will be
gent back to Savannah as soon as the
authorities of that city *ay that they want
him.

In consequence of the great rush for
Holiday Goods before Christmas, Wikle

orders, which proves that they are equal
to any emergency.
THE GRATE OF JBFFERSON.
Liet.-Col. Thomas L. Casey, who was
charged with the execution of the reso
lution of Congress providing for the erec
tion of a suitable monument over the
grave of Thomas Jefferson at Montieello,
announces the completion of the work.
The grounds were surrounded by a wood
en fence, and the old monument to Mr.
Jefferson was much worn by the weather
and disfigured by relic hunters. The
work just completed consists in the grad
ing, seeding and sodding of the surface,
the erection of anew monument over the
graye of Mr. Jefferson, and the building
of a strong and handsome fence abou£
the burying-ground. The monument
consists first of two foundation courses—
the lower 12 feet square and the next 6
feet square, and each 9 inches in height
which cover the grave of Mr. Jefferson
and four of his kindred who are buried
at hi* head and feet aud on either side.
Those foundation stones are surmounted
by a die, 4 feet 2 inches square at th
base and 3 feet 7 inches in height, and
this by a granite obelisk 3 faet 2 inches
square at the base and 12 feet 11 inches
high. The total height of the monument
above the ground is 18 feet.
The inscription composed by Mr. Jef
ferson and in accordance with his direc
tions, placed on the obelisk is as fol
lows :
“Here was buried Thomas Jefferson;
author of the Declaration of Independ
ence, of the statute of Virginia, for re
ligious freedom, and father of the Uni
versity of Virginia.”
Upon the die is inscribed: “Born
April 2, 1743, O. S. Died July 4,182 G.”
On the upper surface of the four sides
of the lower foundation step are inscrip
tions marking the four graves surround
ing that of Mr. Jefferson—the grave of
Martha Jefferson, his wife, those of Mar
tha J. Randolph and Maria J. Eppas, his
daughters, and of Governor Thomas M.
Randolph, his son-in-law. The total ex
penditure was $8,352, leaving $1,648 of
the appropriation unexpended.
The Lord Mayor of London was only
a porter in a warehouie, but he persever
ed in the face of all opposition and rose
rapidly. It is only persistency and merit
that has made Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup
the greatest family remedy for coughs
and colds now offered to the suffering
public.
An iudi*creet man is like ah unsealed
letter, everybody can read him, but the
wise man secureth in time what in time
he will surely need—a bottle of Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup.

A WONDERFUL OLD MAN AT 118.
The grandfather of Dr. W. 11. Peebles,
an eminent physician of Georgia, recent
ly made the following statement: His
grandfathei on his wife’s side, Micajah
Brooks, was only seventeen years old
when he was married to a girl of fifteen.
They lived happily together until his
wife died at the advanced age of 100
years. After her death at about the age
of 104 years, he was remarried to a Miss
Watson, of Paulding county, she being
about fourty years old at the time. Two
sons were born to them, an in the year
1867 he died at the advanced age of 118
years. He was a Virginian by birth but
was one of the earliest settlers of North
western Georgia. He was a great trader
with the Indians, and at one time owned
nearly the whole of Paulding and adja
cent counties, which he bought from
them. His second wife is still living,
which makes her at this time seventy
years old.
“My Back I> Now Well.”
This is what Mr. Clough, of Lowell,
Mass., was happy to say after his wile
had given him a good rubbing with Per
ry Davis’s Pain Killer, and adminis
tered a dose inwardly. For four years
he had been crippled with rheumatism,
and suffered agony in his back. After
using Pain Killer, he went to his busi
ness with comfort, and Is now as well as
ever he was.
NOT PREPARED FOR THE DANCE.
Lafayette, at the#ge of twenty left his
young wif£and flew to aid Washington.
He loaded a ship with supplies which
were mostly needed by American troops,
and helped them with the prestige of his
name, with scant military experience,
and all the cash he could command. He
not only drilled his soldiers, but clothed
and fed them ; and when his ow n means
were exhausted he appealed to the gen
erosity of others. When the ladies of
Baltimore proposed to give a ball to the
gallant Frenchman, he said to them, —
“Ladies, I should be delighted to dance
with you, but my soldiers have no
shirt*.”
The ball was postponed, and the belles
of Baltimore made shirts for the soldiers.

The Athens Banner-Watchman says:
“There was a young gentleman in our
city Saturday night that had taken a
little too much of the amplifieating before
going home, and after making a little
preparation for his Sunday headache, he
sought for his little couch. After put
ting his coat, vest and pants in the bed
and covered them up nicely, went and
sat down in a chair by the fire and sood
asleep. He claims that it is only absent
minded ness that made him put his
clothes in the bed.”

The Cum ruing Clarion says: “The
Milton Democrat says a murder has been
committed in Wild Cat district, Forsyth
county, periodically every seven years for
twenty-eight years. This is certainly a
mistake—one calculated to do* the good
citizens of that district an injustice. If
the statement had been that four homi
cides have been committed in that dis
trict since the j r eur 1857 it would have
been true. In the year 1858 the celebra
ted case of Vaughn occurred, for which
Freelaud and McGinnis were hung, one
other convicted of murder and two sent
to the penitentary. In 1868 and 1869
Dick White, colored, was shot and killed
by some person or persons unknown.
March 1, 1573. Bone killed Burton, but
the killing was pronounced voluntary
manslaughter and not murder. A simi
lar verdict was found in the case of Dan
Rodgers colored, for killing Moor, col
ored, on December 2, IS7S. So it turns
out that there has been only one murder
case, two homicides of voluntary man
slaughter and one other killing, the fact
of which have never transpired.”

The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
says: “Collinsville furnishes a bit of
sensation. Old Aunt Mary, a negro
woman about 80 years old, and so decrep
it that she walked with a stick, was en
gaged to be married to a lover almost as
old as herself. The nupitals were to be
celebrated on last Saturday, and the bride
baked the cake and meats and spruced
herself up to look charming as her age
and wrinkles would permit. The guests
assembled and there was a prospect of a
time but the groom came not. The hours
went by and still the lover did not turn
up to wed his promised bride. Sunday
Monday and Tuesday passed away, and
still no tidings from the absent one.”

To The Women of Geo' *la.
* {Dear Sisters: —ln view of the demorali
zation, suffering and crime caused by
the use of strong drink, and realizing
the truth of the adage that “Prevention
is better than cure,” we appeal to you to
organize in every town, city and village
throughout tins glorious empire a “Band
of Hope,” in which the nature of alcohol
as a poison, and its disastrous effects
should be taught, that the rising genera
tion uiay be so instructed in the impor
tant truths presented by the leading
scientists of the day as to its effects upon
the human system that they may not
only grow lip Total Abstainers from all
that contain alcohol, but able also t give
an intelligent reason for such abstinence.
The “Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union” (ever alive to the needs of the
hour, and ever ready to work for “ God and
Home and our Notice Land”) appeal to
their country-women to save the children ,
gather them into Temperance Schools,”
“Cadets of Temperance” and “Bands of
Hope”—boys, that they may be saved
from the danger of the first glass, ana
girls, that their influence, in their sweet,
early womanhood, may be on the side of
purity and wisdom. An admirable
little “Catechism” is prepared, also a
Teacher’s Manuel,” for the use of Tem
perance Schools, by our National Super
intendent of Temperance Literature, Miss
Julia Column. It can be used also in
Sunday Schools. All respondents to our
call are earnestly invited to communi
cate with Mrs. Richard Webb, of Savan
nah, Ga., who will furnish all needful
instructions, as how to commence and
carry on this proposed and important
work.

Tolisliing the Wrong End.
Many men daily polish their hair, ex
cept to harrow it casually with brush
and comb, or submit it to the paralyzing
attentions of the average barber. What
happens? Why, this: From neglect,
mental axiety, or any of a score of causes,
the hair turns prematurely gray and be
gins to fall out. Parker’s Hair Balsam
will at once stop the latter process an l
restore the original color. An elegant
dressing, free from grease. Dec.s,l in
Dr. H. H. Cogburn, living in Putnam
county, has gathered, ginned and baled
from a patch of five acres, cotton enough
to make fifteen bales, weighing 426
pounds each. From the patch he will get
enough to make 500 pounds lint, and
this will make the five acres yield fif
teen bales weighing between 450 and 460
pounds apiece. The land on which
this cotton was raised is in a high state of
cultivation and was heavily manured.
The doctor says that he intends to plant
in corn onother year, and expects to
make 100 bushels per acre.

“Mr. W. F. Williams, living about four
miles from this place, discovered a fine
setter dog in a woods near his home that
became wild. He ran him down with
a lot of hounds and caught him. T 1 e
dog has a very large Game, but was very
lean. lie eotnes by the name of Shop,
aid seems to be well trained. After
being caught he became tame. It is sup
posed that at some time he had jumped
from the train and was lost. Mr. Wil
liams brought him here and gave him to
Mr. Casper Myers.”

dier living in Madison county who went
to Mississippi during the war and joined
a regiment from that State. Vfter losing
his leg he moved back to Georgia. He
has never received any pay as a maimed
confederate soldier, nor can he get it,
owing to the fact that nearly all his com
pany were killed, and he cannot get two

was in the war. All of his officers
were killed, and he don’t know where to
to get a certificate.
