Warren couuty narrowly escaped losing her jail on Monday morning. On last Sunday week we were sad¬ dened to haar that the spirit of Mr. J. R. Spence had wended its flight.

Mr. T. W. Hill has a flock of one hundred and forty in number, and some of the fattest and largest oxen in the county. Mr. Ilill has one thou¬ sand acre3 of land devoted to pastur age. The gras in many fields has ly ruined the corn and cotton, negro croppers in this section speak of working for wages next year. This would be a very wise decision on their part, for very few of them are cap¬ acitated to take charge of a one-horse farm. OGLETHORPE. Echo, 16, inst. We’ll chronicle a big wedding week.

It was old enough to vote in a primary election, and was large for its age, at that. The rain of last Sunday evening was one of the heaviest of the year. It washed down stream, on Mr. John Turner’s piace a foot log which had never before been j ostled by floods. A tablespoouful of salts and a tea¬ spoonful of paregoric in a glass of wa¬ ter given in small quantities until re¬ lief is obtained, is a specific for diar¬ rhoea and dysentery.

Dunlap, Almost three score years and ten have passed over the head of James 0, Dunlap) the frosts of seventy winters have served to whiten his locks, and the warnuh and gladness of as many summers have pre¬ served in him their geniality aud friendly spirit.

He lives at 204 East Cain Street, Atlanta, with his worthy wife JffSs&idJJP: and family. Dfinlap, - 1 - cently, ‘‘for the past three years been a great sufferer from rheumatism. The disease attacked her in the sciatic form, and caused her terrible suffering. She was tortured almost all the time, al¬ though we did everything her “pains. in The our disease power to alleviate appeared to have a firm hold upon her, and last summer and fall she suffered the most excruciating pains and agony. Her system offered little or no resistance to the ravages of this disease. We almost despaired of relieving her of its clutches, and it was with heavy hearts and little faity we began the use of liunnicutt’s Rheumatic (Jure, at the earnest solicita¬ tion of our friends, last December. The effect of the medicine was almost mirac¬ ulous. She began to improve at almost the first dose, and although at this time she has only taken three bottles, I can trouthfully say that thousands ot dollars would not express the good it lias accom¬ plished for her, Her rheumatic pains and t winges have entirely disappeared. It is certainly a wonderful remedy, and I desire to be put upon record as saying that any person who allows a friend to suffer from the ravages of disease when a specific of this kind can broad be procured land of from any drug store of this ours, at the trifling price of one dollar a Dottle, within the reach of even the poorest is naught but a criminal.” Manufactur¬ ed by J.
