Entered at the Postoffice at Douglas j Da. as sec lid-class mail matter. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 18'JO. 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 fund, $6,936.75; improved lands, 633,- •04 aores; wild land, 207,916; avorege value per acre $1.29 and 74 cents; city property, $69,711; money, etc., $26,004: iron works, $7,240; value household fur niture, $236,060; horses, mule, sheep, cattle, etc., $293,730; plantation and mechanical tools, $53,251; watches, jew elry, etc.,55,472; real estate, $939,907: personal estate, $1,203,421. Property returned by colored taxpayers—numht r acres land, 22,171; value, $81,136; city property, $3,255; money, etc., $6,372; household furniture, $5,900; horses, mules, cattte, sheep, ete.,520,C03; p’au tat.... n* 1 mechanical tools, $3,634; rate of county tax, 3.07 mills. 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.

This Februar stli, lt*jt>. ’ W M Tassxk, Sheriff. 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.” Georgia, Coffee county; Will be sold on the first Tuesday in March next at the courthouse in said county within the legal hours of sale to tho highest bidder ter cash the following described property to wit; 20 acres of lot of land number 137 in the tith district of said county, said 2d acres being bounded as follows; on the soutn and west by lands of B<-ii Morris, on the north by lands of Jitn McKinon and on the east by lands known as the Jim Stephens’ place.
