It is certainly gratifying to the public to
know of one concern in the land who are
not afraid to be generous to the needy and
suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, have given away over ten mill
ion trial bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs
are surely cured by it. Call on J. N. Har

But not only do the bird auguries go
by sevens; the number plays it mighty
part in folklore, tradition and Ills

Cod rested on the seventh day and hal
lowed it. In the seventh month Noah’s
ark touched the ground; in seven days
a dove was sent out on the face of the

seven times for Sodom's sake before
Cod smote the city ot wickedness to

The seventh sou of a seventh son is
a born doctor,according to Irish belief,
but he mm I never take money for the
j cures he achieves, and to insure re
' eovery he should be sought before sun
i rise or after sunset on Friday. "It is
manifest by experience that the sev
enth male childe, by Just order (never
a wench being born between), doth
heal only with touching, through a
natural gift, the king's evil; which is
a special! gifte of God, given to kiriges
and queeues, as daily experience doth
witnesse.” There were seven wise
men and seven wonders of the world;
while the ancients not only noted the
importance of seven as an astronom
ical period, but also connected the sev
en metals then known with the seven
planets ami the seven colors.
Thus copper belonged to Venus, and

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor. i
<
Mr. Ethtor: Some years ago I took an '
id.-i that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build, The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to*s4 per acre—saying
altogether,about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre.
Tn the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In Ter w • • i uml rof ai
quan'ity ■ put in a 1 "or lx,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m mey, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at fir less than cost.
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or GO,OOO people, and is
adapted to maiket gardening, and for
northern know howto work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens. I /
It is all together, atfd would make a fine
settlement,having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the ('all will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I me&n what I say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion ol one or two parties for years, and j
• have never be< n questioned and are as I
gold as gold.
I am not particularly xvc'hh’d to this
plan of getting rid of my lauds, but only’
suggest the idea—any better plan xvould
be thankfully substituted.
