Few are aware of the importance
checking a cough or common cold in
first stage. That which in the
would yield to a mild remedy, if neglected,
soon preys upon the Lungs. Dr.
Cough Syrup affords instant relief Price,
25 cents.
The PrintingOffice.
_. The printing ... office , K , has , . been „ the t , „
sensation of the week in our town, and
many has called in to see tbs
that makes tlie“newspapers. ” Comein,
friends, and see that machine which

and when you go away, be sure to
your names upon our subsription book,
so that you may have the weekly
of The Democrat to inform you of all
the news of your county.
Free of Charge. Your Druggist will

Syrup does not give you satisfaction
cure your cough.
Apologetic.
The general chaos of things
epuent upon our removal, the bad
er, and many other difficulties,
.-Hwnerous to mention,” has given
hard work to bring The Democrat
this week. Many things have been
looked on account of the hurry and
fusion of things, and we hope
patrons will pardon us for any
comings, and we promise to be on
in the future, The Democrat
and shall rank with the best
papers in the State.
The Colossal Bronze Statue of trt
which stands in the Park, at Lowell,
the tomb of the first soidiers that fell in
the revolution, is a lasting and
tribute of art. It is one of the first
sought by strangers visiting our sister
which indeed many visit purposely to
this elegant object of high art. It
obtained from the King of Bavaria by
J. C. Ayer, to whom his majesty
especially gracious in acknowledgment
what his remedies are reputed to have
for the suffering sick. It was donated
the Doctor to the City of Lowell as a
manent and speaking emblem of the
ries both of Science and Arms—
J*reat-
l*« r»ml Acknowledgements.
We would take the present opportunitv
to return our heart-felt thank, to Mr.
Charles Bergstrom, Mr. Trope and fam¬
ily, Mr. Golucke, and Col. W. F. Holden
for the very great kindness extended to
ourself and family under very trying
circumstances upon our arrival in Craw
fordville. The names of these friends
will ever hold a high place in our esteem,
and we hope they |may ever meet with
the kindness that they were so ready to
extend to others. Crawfordville is
famous sor its generous-hearted people,
and we are ready to testify to Jth« noble
8 enerosit >’ of her citilens in our own
half, and hope the sunshine of prosper
ity may ever rest upon her, and that her
borders may be enlarged.

We are pleased to learn that the Craw
fordville Male and Female Academy,
under the direction of Mr. J. T. Chap
man, Principal, and Mrs. E. A. Shields,
Assistant and Instructress in Music, is
in a most flourishing condition. Not
withstanding the very inclement weather
of the present season, the Academy
at the present time 42 pupils in regular
attendance, and will doubtless receive a
large * increase in numbers as soon as the
ther wil , Mrtnit Thp course of in .
struct ion . m this Institution is . thorough ,
and DracticaI Praetical, and and there there is is probably nrobablv no no
better school to be found in the State—
Mrs. Shields has a high f,, reputation as a
teacher . of , . and the rapid ..

and . proficiency . . of her pupils give ample ' ,
evidence of ., her capability ,. in tins ... depart- ,

In Jail.
Our county boarding house is now oc
cupied by four colored gentlemen, Fred,
Biggers, charged with misdemeanor ;
Jim Simmons, charged with too great
fondness for other people’s swine; Jim
Stewart charged with making a mistake
of houses, and as he found the door clos
ed, broke in, which so pleased the prop
er owner that lie caused the aforesaid
Jim to lie put into a house, the door of
which, so far, has wpvcn too strong for
Jimmy to break down ; and last, but
not least, Nelson Battle, charged witli
murder. Judge Pottle is appointed to
I* here next Monday week, and will
doubt give these tel.ows the attention
their various accomphsliments deserve.

ent winter i called in our office a couple
of weeks ago, and was much interest

50 inches in height, and was eight years

The present was truly a nice one, and

’
cially to Mr. M’Leester for the beautiful
P re sent> and for the interest the has taken
> n a little stranger boy, who is striving to
make himself master of the great “art
preservative,” so that in future years
he may become useful to his fellow man.
We would take this occasion to recoin
mend the firm of Collins & M’Leester to
any of our brother craftsmen who are
contemplating the purchase of new ma
terial. Their type are beautiful and are
perfect in make and finish, and they are
careful to send just what you order, and
do ,___, not put off „ „ a lot , , of . old-fashioned, . 1,1
useless material on their customers as
is the custom of some type founders.—
Send for their large specimen book and
see for yourself.

advertisement, and go immediately and
see him.
In another column will be found the
advertisement of Mr C E. Smith in
which it will be seen that he is offering
the Patapsco Guano to our farmers upon
the best terms. The Patapsco has prov
en its fertilizing properties to the satis
faction of all who has heretofore used it,
and by reading Mr. Smith’s advertise

See Rev. J. W. Ellington and Mr. J.

School, located in Thomson, Ga. We
are personally acquainted with these
and know there are no let¬

citizens are desirous of sending their
children away from home to be educated,
they could not do better than put them
under the management of these gentle
men. Address them at Thomson, Ga.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Mr. S.

of to-day’s issue. He is offering the
celebrated Burton Cotton Planter
sale, and is prepared to prove its
b y oert.ficato, from some of the best far

do much work in a little time, do it cor
