So often have they been deceived by tire adver tisements of worthless compounds, that many arc discouraged, and refuse to believe anything they read in tire papers. Therefore, the best advertise ment of a really good medicine is the reputation it has gained in places where it is being sold. No other remedy ever discovered has grown so rapidly’ in pubic fa\or as that true medicinal tonic called Brown’s Iron Bitters. In localities where its extra ordinary merits have become fully known and realized by those who have been in ill health, the sale is unprece dented. One druggist in our city reports the sale of 238 bottles in one week. It is, indeed, a wonderful, health giving, life-saving preparation. It is soothing and refreshing in its effect, and strengthens every part of the body’, and creates healthy appetite and digestion, even when the system is almost destroyed by the many hurt ful cathartics so commonly' used. Reader, beware I duty demands that you try Brown's Iron Bitters, if your l health is poor from any cause.—En ! quirer.

There was a large crowd present and they danced all night. Mr. James K. Randolph returned from the Exposition last Sunday’ sick, and has been confined to his Lied all the week. Harry Bell is in love with one of the girls that runs the machinery of the Williinaiitio thread company at tire Exposition. A Jefferson belle keeps a deck of cards in a convenient place in her parlor, and she knows how to use them in a game of seven up or casino. Zaek Howard carries a scar across the bridge of his nose. It was caused by an car of corn thrown at him by a y oung lady at a corn shucking. Mrs. Brock, of Gainesville, will have charge of the school at Apple Valley next year. We think Hie citizens of that place have made a good selection, as we learn that. Mrs. Brock has an excellent reputation as a teacher. Dave Bailey’ and Frank Duke lost their mule out at the frolic at Sam Potts' the other night and had to foot it home. The best of the joke is that the mule had broke loose but had strayed off but a short distance from the place where he was hitched. The Rev. 11. S. Bradly preached his first sermon to our citizens on last Sunday. Considering that it was no set sermon, the reverend gentleman made quite a favorable impression upon his congregation, which, from his reputation, wc are satisfied he will maintain during his stay amongst us. One of our most charitable young ladies, while out seeking money’ for a benevolent enterprise, came across f>ne old sinner and made him shell out his last nickel, and he gently r eminded her of the fact. The statement made such an impression upon her that she went home and cried about it. But she <1 id not return the nickel, and it is presumable that she was just sorry because she could not get anything more out of him. Foster Dainel struck up with the only first-class fraud at the Hxj osition that we have heard of. lie proposed to take his photograph lor fifleencents. Looking around for his apparatus, Foster could see nothing, and, just for curiosity, lie agreed to pay the chap to take his phis. After some posing and fixing, he presented Foster with an exaggerated outline of himself cut out of paper. lie had simply copied Foster’s shadow from off the wall and reduced it in k : z>. You can i is! imagine how proud Foster is oi' that picture. Cause and Effect. The main cause of nervousness is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach. No one can have sound nerves an 1 good health without using llop Bitters to strength en the stomach, purify the blood, and keep the liver and kidneys active, to carry off all the poisonous and waste matter of the system.— Advance. Walton News says : “ Last Sunday morning before day seven masked men went to the house of old man Wallace, who pves two nvles from Lawrence villo, dragge I him out of bis bed. stuff ed his mouth full of old rags and after choking him nearly to dearh with a trace chain beat him severely. Seven men have been arrested, and if they are the guilty parties the sentence of the law should be that they should suffer the same punishment they in flicted on the old man. There is no justification for such conduct.” This Is a Progressive Age, And we are proud to see so many of our people securing themselves and property against fire by having their roo's painted Willi W.

The Human c mtraet will supply the road with cross-ties to the river. Capt. Sage is working about twenty hands on the Jug Tavern line, and is nearly to the Mulberry river. He is away past lloschfon. Mr. Blackstnck has been at work for the last week on the deep cut a! the upper end of his section. He has been running from twenty to thirty jhands. Just as soon as the weather will permit., he will commence down at this end of the line. He will estab lish his quarters on the line near where the survey crosses the Gainesville road. Capt. Collier has laid off the Long land that was bought by parties in Gainesville into town lots. While there has been no ‘ authoritative an nouncement of the fact, yet it is plain that the Gainesville Directors intend to locate a town at that place. We have no objections, but don't admire the way the matter has been managed. Capt. Collier writes to Judge How ard that it will be impossible for him to come down on this end of the line for the present, as he is crowded with work, lie has to attend to the track laying office work, has the Finger trestle under his eye, and lots of other things, lie says that he is worked down. We learn that he has made some material changes in the line up above the junction and has anew force of men at work. We arc glad to be able to state that Mr. 11. D. Human lias settled his dif ferences with the company in a satis factory manner. He has closed a con tract with President Candler to fur nish seventeen hundred dollars’ worth of cross-ties and has already com menced work. On last Tuesday lie passed through this place, on his way to Athens, to buy an engine and saw mill to cut the ties, lie thinks of taking the contract to furnish the Lim ber to build the bridge across the riv er. John Messer and several others are interested with him. The last week has been one of great interest to our railroad enterprise in several respects. Most of our readers know that there has been considerable trouble with some of the stockholders who lived out in the country near the line of the road. They have all along refused to pay’ their assessments, and have thus delay ed, to some extent, the progress of the work. Several of these delinquents have been sued and judg ments have been obtained, while oth ers have, for cause, had their cases continued. Incidentally, we will re mark that in every case that has gone to trial upon its merits the road has come out victorious and its attorneys arc confident of success in the remain ing cases.

Covington Star: One of those ter rible accidents which come of boys handling deadly weapons happened at Social Circle on last Friday evening. It is almost enough to freeze the blood in our veins to think of it. Two little boys were out shooting at the f oid below the Spencer House, When lh< ) g ia of one of them was accidentalL j and sc’iarged 1 y the hammer catching! in his - leevo. and the contents t<oU e‘fe t in the left side of the other, in tbcLing such a severe wound that lie) died in three hours. The name of the little boy killed was Charles Brown, the name of the other was Sam Avery. Young Brown was a son of Mr. Joseph T. Brown, wlm was i<? Atlanta at tlie Lime the dreadful accident occurred. This is another sad warning to pa rents who allow their children to carry guns and pistols before they have judgment enough to know how to use them.” The Americus Recorder says that the dogs of the Fifteenth district of Sumter county having cleaned out most, of the sheep in their sect'on. have taken to the calves. Mr. \\ il liaiu LI.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the chief causes of so many watches not being good time pieces. The cases being thin and not fitting well, admit dust and dirt to the m n'envuf. which so mi interferes witii t!o running pu ts of the wa ch, ne cessitating cleaning, repairing, &c.. and the amount thus paid out, if applied to ward buying a good case in the beginning, would have saved all this trouble and ex pense, Wc have recently seen a case that meets all these requirements, it having been carried for over twenty years and still remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS’ Patent Stiffened Bold Case, which has become one of the staple , ;u lidos of the Jewelry trade, possessing :<n ,i does so many advantages over all oLlier watch cases, being made of two heavy plates of solid gold over a plate of composition, and wc advise all our rea ders to ask their Jeweler for a card or catalogue that will explain the manner in wh’cb thev are made.
