Mess. O. Barrett & Co :
This is to certify that my son
was greatly afflicted with Dyspep¬
sia, and after trying several physi¬
cians and everything I knew of
without any relief, I was persuad
ed by Dr. Reid to try H. II. P.
After using one bottle, I saw quite
an improvement in bis condition.
Being so much gratified with this
result, the use was continued.
After using one-half dozen bottles
he gained thirty or forty pounds
in weight, and was entirely restor
odto health. 1 fully believe it
saved my son’s life, and 1 cheer¬
fully recommend it to those suffer¬
ing with Liver Complaint, Malaria,
and Dyspepsia.
Respectfully,
JESSE I’ORTWOOD.

GENERAL. GORDON.
Extract From a Letter to tho
Sparta Isbmaelita by Col. J. T.
Jordan.
The writer marched with the “man
of tho twelfth of May,” stood beside
him on the seventeenth following, was
trusted by him in bis last sortie on
Hare’s Heights, hence can entertain
none but the kindest feelings for him
personally. But in this matter no
thinking man should be controlled by
a sentiment* It is to the good of the
State we should look, and not to per¬
sonal preferences.
The very characteristics which
stamp Gen, Gordon as a genius at the
head of Ins serried legions, disqualify
him for routine ollice work, like that
required of tho Governor in the man¬
agement of tho business finances of the
State.
Ilis mind and habits of life are too
meteoric. They lias!) with splendor
to-day, but to go down in the gloom
of disappointment cm tho morrow,
Indeed history teaches us that bub
few great soldiers are good business
men, The nerve and dash which
would iuduce them to stake the fate of
an empire on one forlorn hope or a
midnight assault may do in marshal¬
ing battalions but always fails in hus¬
banding dollars.
It is Georgia’s resources now that
require tho attention of a cool and
calculating head and not tho memories
of the past. The latter we will trust
to our wives and mothers, but for the
former giye us a man of affairs.
Have you not been struck with tho
remarkable parallel of two groat sold¬
iers in our late war—Grant and Gory
don?
* * * * # *
Af ter the war General Gordon was
much the idol of Georgia as General
was of tbe Northern people,
Both had inspired confidence by the
use of their swords. General Grant’s
was more taugible. Gordo *
Vlyi' in tb*s grateful pride
A'y-'tv Srf t t
leiii gathered together their i
and entrusted them, to his kec t «
with the same love and confidence with
which they had marched to his com¬
mand. Unfortunately for them, they
were sunk in a saw mill, and when
asked for an explanation General Gor¬
don informs them that they were in¬
vested in developing the pine barrens
of Georgia.
We next see the General at tbe head
of the Southern Life Insurance Com¬
pany, his name and fame again extort¬
ing money from his old soldiers. Their
confidence in him yet unshaken, they
invest their hard earnings from daily
toil in Iiis company,that at their death
their widows and children might be
provided for. This was truly a noble
confidence, theso old veterans com¬
mitting to their General’s honor and
business capacity the fortunes of their
families, and paying him for the
privilege.
It was a sad day for the heart¬
broken, widows with needy child) en
at her skirts, with policy in hand,
asking the General’s company to re¬
deem its promise. Sad as it was, the
reply was amusing, to-wit: My
good woman, the reason we can’t pay
you is your husband died. And this is
the only excuse ever rendered for tho
failure ot the company, that the insur
eddied.
We next see him in the Senate, still
the object of tbe State’s affection and
co ifldenee. I liave no censure for his
course there, nor for bis resignation,
and if either one of the many reasons
he has assigned are true, lie ought to
have resigned, but I can’t well under¬
stand why lie could not hold on three
Legislature i
weeks longer, and let the
elect his successor, especially “since
his mission had ended, and there was
nothing for him to do but vote.”
He could have readly obtained a pair
and thus saved his yote and three
thousand dollars. j j
We next see him as the feel counsel
of the Louisville K L. i
When employed, tho stock was ! 'tty !
per cent, above P« u i aB' f three j
months of counsel the stock was off a j
hundred per cent, I

cess because it has reduced the price j
of coal one-half. It is true the State |
is now realizing a l>enefit,but did the ;
men whose money he invested intend
jt as a charity? They can’t realize fifty j
cents on their stock to-day.
Next we see him at the head of the
Belrnonl coal mine. He says that it is

Chaos -Again
Until 18S0 thoro was complete har¬
mony in tho Democratic party. Wo
were a united band of brothers—ono
in feeling, one in sentiment, ono in
policy* Wo were like tho members of
one family whose hopes and fears and
ambitions were in common. But tho
tempter came n 1880. The party was
given no no) .nee, Men were prefer¬
red to p^rty unity. During tho part
five years, this storm within our own
party,so violent and destructive for a
short while, has subsided. It was an
unpleasantness men were willing to
bury. Even the political proscription,
ui, der Democratic ascendency thought
producing somo restiveness, lmd not
disturbed the quiet return to our for¬
mer conservatism. But all is chaos
again. Men are on tho tip too of re¬
volt. War rages again in our own
ranks. The futuro is lost sight of.
And what is all this furore about?
Simply this: Men must he honored
or vindicated at whatever cost.
It looks as if our farmers, as a class
were tbe most easily swindled people
in tho county. Some of them are
shrewd enough, but many of them are
gulled by every hum that comes along.
The other day a man went through
Webster county with a lot of colored
salt put up in jars which lie represent¬
ed was a stump consuming powder.
His instructions were to bore a hole in
the stump, fill it with powder, plug up
the hole, let it stand for six weeks and
then fire the stump and it would burn
way down below the ground. Tho
f arm ( ;r8 bought it readilv, those that
fjad (ho moiiey> rhe six weeks time
