One of the most marked signs of our progressive age is the growing demand for Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as a Spring Medi cine. It shows not only that people are rapidly abandoning their “yarbs” and bitters, but, still better, that they ap preciate the difference between a genu ine pharmaceutical preparation and the much yaunted nostrums of quackery. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is not a transient tonic, causing one to feel good for a while, nor merely something to stimulate a weak appetite, nor to afford a tempor ary bracing up, it is a constitutional medicine producing a radical change in the system by renovating every particle of the blood, and so building up from the foundation. After using this rem edy the stomach, liver bowels, heart, kidneys, and even the brains and nerves acquire uuwonted strength and efficien cy. enabling these vital organs to per form all their functions with wonderful vigor and satisfaction. Therefore, as a spring medicine, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has no equal in the whole range of pharmacy. The only Sarsaparilla judged worthy of exhibition at the Chicago World’s Fair. DeLean, Texas.

On Wednesday, 10tli inst., I received an invitation from Rey. J. S. Askew, pastor of Jenkitisburg circuit, to spend Thursday with him at the parsouage, there was to be an old fashioned quilt ing. So Thursday morning wife, myself and two boys were found on our way to the hospitable little town of Jenkins burg. The crisp and bracing atmosphere of a bright October morning made our ride of five miles very pleasant. On ar riving at the parsonage we found quite a company of good ladies of the church and community had assembled, they had been considering some time, no doubt as to bow they would add other comforts to their faithful pastor and more faithful wife. So they decided with the delicacy characteristic of these noble ladies that their pastor and loved ones should not suffer with cold during the coming wiater, so two nice new quilts had been peiced and all were met together having a pleasant day with the pastor and family and finishing the beau tiful handiwork into something not only beautiful to the eye but of great useful ness. And such a dinner. The table lit erally groaued under its weight of good things, showing that these noble ladies of Jenkinsburg are not only skilled in quilt making but are equally skillful in the culinary art, there was nothing that the human body needs or could be rea sonably wished for that could not be found on that table, at least a dozen or more of these good ladies had prepared dinner before leaving home and when a dozen such dinners, Mr. Editor, as these good ladies can provide are brought together on one table and into one room you can form some idea of the stacks of good things that this writer not only looked at but. Well but I tried to be temperate but I am sure I acted my part well. We return many thanks to Bro. W. M. Mallet for a nice conveyance furnished us so generously and kindly that it made us feel just like it was doing him a great kindness to use it. God bless him and his, and we are indebted to Rev. J. S. Askew for the privilege of being pres ent aud to his good wife and the ladies of Jenkinsburg for as good dinner as lias been our good fortune to enjoy in a loag time. May the blessings of our God abide upon them all forever. W.T. Bell. CONTRACTORS NOTICE.

Collier passed from earth to Heaven Saturday night, Oct. 13th, at his home at Indian Spring. His last day on earth was a perfect day and a very happy one to him. He was unusually bright and cheerful and spoke of the many reasons ho had for gratitude and thanksgiving. He was busy during the day attending church, and looking after the finances of the church, and the comfort of his pas tor. He retired in his usual health about 9 o’clock. Soon after retiring pa ralysis of the brain attacked him, and in an hour his soul was in Heaven He leaves a devoted wife, six sons and three daughters, besides several grandchildren who all love and reverence his memory. No children were ever more devoted to a parent than were his, and if any differ ences ever arose, his wise counsel always prevailed. He was truly a peacemaker. He used his life for others, thinking little of himself. His children were all pres ent at the funeral except three who have homes in the far west. Four sons and two grandsons acted as pall bearers. He w r as followed to the graye by a large number of mourning friends, where he was buried with Ma sonic honors, the funeral having been preached by Rev. Mr. Hurst, a student of Mercer and pastor of the Baptist church at Indian Spring. Mr, Collier was for many years before the war well known all over Georgia as the proprie tor of the celebrated Mclntosh House, which was destroyed by fire about four teen years ago. Since which time he has lived in retirement, surrounded by his devoted family and ahvays tenderly cared for by them and their saiutly mother. Vistors to the now famous Wigwam, presided over by sons of Mr. Collier, never failed to seek out the genial and venerable patriarch, who was always de lighted to talk of the former glory of Indian Spring and of the virtues of the water. No man was better posted in the history of Georgia, and he numbered among his acquaintances and friends many of her most illustrious sons and daughters. His cordial greeting and pleasant smile will be long missed by the visitors to the Spring and many will doubtless feel that much of the charm of the place has vanished with him. The beauty of his Christian character shone more respleudently in his own home and in his own family. Those who by marriage or otherwise were members of his family, always re ceived the tenderest consideration. The writer can give cardinal testimony to this fact, after a membership in the family extending over more than a quar ter of a century. NEW OPENING, NEW OPENING . SPRINGER BROS.
