XE ill ITT ON COFFEE.
Hon. Robt. Nesbitt, Commissioner
of Agriculture, in his new book on the
Resources and Possibilities of Georgia,
lias this to say of Coffee county :
Coffee county was created in 1854 out
sf Irwin, Telfair and Appling, with Tel
fair north, Appling and Pearce east,
Ctiuoh South, Irwin and Berrien west,
[lead waters of the Satilla river are in
in this county. Douglas is the capital,
located near the center of the county, a
small town of little importance in a
commercial way. The county waR nam
ed for General John E Coffee of Telfair
oounty, a member of congress in 1838-5
and • who had taken an aotive part in
the war of 1812. The Oomulgee river
is on the north boundary of the county
with the headwaters of the Satilla river.
The lands in this eounty are mostly
piney woods, gray except on the borders
of the river. The productions are cot
ton, corn, sugar cane, potatoes, melons,
peuches and grapes grow well in this
oounty with proper attention. Rosin,
turpentine and lumber are shipped to
Brunswick at remunerative prices. On
account of the large amount of wild
laud in the oounty the raising of stock,
cattle, sheep and hogs is a profitable
business. The Brunswick and Western
railroad runN through this county and
affords means of travel and transporta
tion of the produce for market.
Population it) 1880 10,483; school

It is evident that Mr. Nesbitt extract
ed his information about Coffee front
the history of the county ns it was
•ome years ago. If this bo what lie
claims for hie work, a history of the
years now dead, we are willing to ad
mit that it, in the main, is correct,
llut if lie intends it for a book of pres
ent information, claiming to set forth
tho "resources and possibilities" as
they are now—in other words, if he
have sent forth his work to the public,
claiming it to be an up-to-date book,
he is sadly behind in his information,
and be has done Coffee county an in
justice which her people will not ap
preciate.
In the first place, Dougins is far
Irom being “unimportant town in a
commercial way.” To be convinced
of this one must only stand by the de
pot of hor, as yet, single railroad and
watch the hundreds of wagons that
weekly draw freight to the small towns
in proximity to Douglas. Hundreds
more bring rosin, spirits, lumber, cot
ton and wool to this pout- for ship
ment, and we believe if Mr. Nesbitt
could have had a jiersonal knowledge
of our commerce lie certainly would
have given us credit for being more
than an "unimportant commercial
town."
He also implies that the B. A. \V. is
the only railroad in the county. He
ought to know that the great South
ern passes 'hrough the northern part
of its boundary, and recjiyes quite an
extensive business from the county.
Three other short lines—T!te McDon
ald Mill and Douglas, the Waveross
Air Line, and the Bewick railroads,
extend far into tire interior, (it should
be remembered that Coffee is the
third or fourth largest county in the
state) and they all do a nourishing
busiues*. Mr. B. B. Giay will soon
complete another road from Fine
Bloom to Fitxgerald, and still another
irom Pine Bloom to Valdosta is con
templated. This will give us Seven
railroads in the county and wc al
ready have five.
The population since 1390 has near
er quite doubled itself, and conserva
tive estimates now place it at 15.000.
The lands of Coffee county are as
productive as any lands in the state
and decidedly more easy to cultivate
than the stiff clay lauds to our north. I
The central and northern part of the
county, contrary to the general opin
ion, is high, rolling and even hilly in
some places. Our farmers are a pros
perous class of people and live with as
little effort as any people on the globe.
There are ten progressive towns
in Colfee county, betides numerous
villages where turpentine and lumber
are manufactured. Indeed, the re
sources and possibilities of Coffee
county are not to he enumerated in a
limited space, and we presume that
the commission did the best he had
room for.

A Miracle in Texas,
' INVESTIGATED BY THE TEXAS
- CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE AND
VOUCHED FOR BY DR. C.
H. STANSBURY.
" (From the Texas Christian Advocate.)
Our representative has made a careful !■
veatlgation of the H. E. Spauiding ease at
Longview, which ia here published for tha
first time, and which will be read with
freat interest by medical men everywhere.
n replv to the Christian Advocates ques
tion, Mr. Sf.uldingsnid : About eight years
ago while running a locomotive I contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left aide from my
hip down. It came on alow but sure and in
a few montha 1 lost control entirely of that
member, it waa just the same an if it was
paralyzed, I wan totally unable to move out
of my room for a year and a half, six
montha of which time I wee bed-ridden. I
tried every remedy suggested, and had regu
lar physicians in constant attendance on
me. I was bundled up and lent to Hot
Springs where 1 spent three months under
the treatment of tne most eminent special
ists, all of which did me no good, and I
earns back from the springs in a worse
condition than when I went. I came homa
and laid fiat on my back and suffered
the most excruciating agonies, screaming in
pain every time anybody walked across tha
room, the only ease I obtained being from
the constant use of opiates. After three
montha of this kind of agony, during
which time my entire left leg perished away
to the very bone, my attention was called to
anew remedy called Dr. William*’ Pink
Pills for Pale People, by Mr. Alliaon who ia
cow train dispatcher at Texarkana, and
who was relieved of locomotor ataxia of
twenty yean duration. At hia urgent and
repeated eolicitation I consented to give
them a trial, after taking a few doses I
began to improve. I continued taking tbs
pills and kept right on improving until I
waa finally cured. My leg is just ths same
lize now as the other one, and I am sure
that Pink Pills not only enred me but saved
my life.
The reporter next visited Dr. C.H. Btana
bnrv, a graduate of one of the medical
schools of Kentucky, and a man who enjoys
the confidence of everybody in Longview.
He said : “ 1 know that Mr. Spaulding had
n terribly severe attack of sciatic rheumatism
of which I tried to cure him; used every
thing known to my profession in vain, and
finally reoommended him to go to Hot
Springs. He came back from the spring*
worse than when h* went and I thought It
was only a matter of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die. I also
know that his cure is the direct result of tha
se of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”
“ That ia rather an unusual statement for
• regular phyalclan to make, doctor."
“I know it is, but a fad is a fact, and
there are hundreds of people right here in
Longview who know what I aay is tha
truth. I also know Mr. Allison and know
that he was relieved of a genuine and sever*
esse of locomotor ataxia of twenty yean
standing.”
