They have organized a club known as the “Patrick Wild Game Club,” and have rented about 3,000. acres of land in Cabins district, which they will stock with all kinds of wild game. The land will be posted and all per sons caught trespassing upon the same will be prosecuted. The tract which • bey have rented for five years lies within the bounderies of Wolf creek and Towaliga river on the north, .he public road from the old Walker Mill to A. J. Walden’s residence on the east, the Jackson and Griffin public road on the south, and MeDonough and Griffin public road on the west. This is the finest game reserve in Georgia, and will afford -some rare sport to the members, of the “Patrick Wild Game Clab” and such of lleir friends as may be invited to spend a day in its fields or forests. Today's Election- The primary for nominating a mayor, four aidermen and clerk and treasurer for the city of Griffiu will be held today. The polls will be opened in the city hall over police headquarters at 7 o’clock, sun time, and close at 6 o’clock. While the candidates who have op* position have worked unceasingly for some lime, no ill feeling has been en gendered, which has always been done heretofore when the negroes were al lowed to vote. That Joyful Feeling With the exilarating sense of renewed health and strength and internal cleanli ness, which follows the use of Syrup of Figs is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old time medicines and the cheap substitutes sometimes offer ed but never accepted by the well-inform ed. O . Bean the The Kind You Haw Always Bought - Notice. The ladies of the Baptist church will serve dinner from 12 to 3 o’clock on Wednesday, and supper from 3 to 600 Thursday at the rooms formerly occupied by G. W. Clark A Bon. The meals served will be well worth the email amount charged, which will be used for the improvements now being made on the church building. Come everybody and be happy. OABTORIA. Beanth. Kind Yog Haw Alwayt Beuttt Mr. H.A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes: “One of my children was very delicate and we despaired of raising it. For months my wife and I could hardly get a night’s rest until we began the use of Pitts’ Car minative. We found great relief from the first bottle.*’ Pitts’ Carminative acts promptly and cures permanently. It is pleasant to the taste, and children take it without coaxing. It is free from injurious drugs and chemicals. Bwwths .p Th* Kind You KawAlways Bought WILL COL CANDLER RESIGN! » It Is Rumored He Will Give Up His Commission- t The Atlanta Journal of yesterday t contains the following bit of gossip I about the officers of the Third Georgia t regiment: • It io reported here and in Griffin i that there io aome doubt whether Col. John 8. Candler will resign the judg > ship of the B&ne Mountain circuit or , the colonelcy of regiment. It io stated that Col Candler, on i Saturday evaaing, after dress parade, remarked to a gentleman that ho in , tended to resign the colonelcy of the . regiment. The gentleman through , whom this information comes is not , certain whether Col. Candler was io , jest or in earnest, but there memo to be no doubt that he made the remark. The rumor that Col. Candler will resign is quite current already and seems to be credited in well informed circles. In case Col. Candler resigns the colonelcy of the Third regiment will become a dazzling prize The next in rank is Lieut. Col. Robert L. Berner, who is said to ht-ve devoted himself with great ardor to the study of military tactics and art and science of war. The fact that Major R. E. L Spence, third in rank, is a veteran of Santiago, bearing a scar from the battle of the let of July, and a graduate of West Point military academy, makes him an interesting factor. There are already two vacant cap taincies in the Third regiment, and the filling of these and other places made vacant by promotions will give the governor a good many plums to distribute. If to these a colonelcy is added there would be a great flutter in military circles. This morning the governor received a call from Major Marcus W. Beck, Judge John T. Allen, member elect to the legislature from Baldwin, Captain Aaron J. Burr and Lieutenant Joseph E. Pottle. Major Beck was asked about the report in regard to 1 ' Colonel Candler, but said thaths was unable to give any information on the subject. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the pub lic to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The propria etore of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bot tles 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 Harris & Bon, and Carlisle A Ward, Druggists, and get a trial bottle free. Regular size 500 and Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. Another Spurgeon Story. Here is another story about Spur geon. He once passed a stone mason who, after each stroke of bis hammer, cursed and swore. Mr. Spurgeon laid his hand on his shoulder, and looking kindly at him, said: “You are an adept at swearing. Can you pray?’’ With another oath be replied : “Not very likely.” Holding up five sbiliogs Mr. Spurgeon said if be proms ise never to pray be would give him that. “That is easily earned,” said the man with a fresh oath, and put it in bis pocket. When Spurgeon left the man began to fee! a little queer. When he his wife asked him what ailed him, and he told her. “It is Judas’s money I” said the man, and on a sudden impulse, he threw it into the fire. The wife found it, took it out, and discovered who bad given it to him. The man took it back to Spurgeon, who conversed long with him, warning him, and at length was the means of saving him He became an attached member of bis flock. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure him self right away by taking Electric Bit ters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures Constipation, Headache, Fainting Spells, Sleepless ness and Melancholy. It is purely i vegetable, a mild laxative, and restorea the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bot tle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at J. N. Harris & Son’s and Carlisle A Ward’s. &KIFFIN, BEORBIA, TUESDAY MORNIN&, OCTOBER 11, 1888. FEVER RAPIDLY SPREADING Only One Section of Mississippi Not Now Infected Jackson, Miss., Oct. 10—The yel low fever situation in Mississippi grows repid’y worse, and unless ecol weather comes soon,- nearly the entire state bids fair to become infected. Harrieton, in Jefferson county, has a population of only 150 people, yet 19 cases developed there yesterday and last night, Dr. Harrison being among the number. # Hattiesburg, in Perry county, now. has 14 cases. In Jackson the little yellow fever flags marking the pres ence of infection increase rapidly. There is only one notion of the city without a case the disease, north Jack son, and there are two or three suspi cious cases there under surveillance. Two new cases this morning added to the record Both are on Capitol street, Miss Minnie Gordon and Mr. Ed Har bert. The Storm Damage. No reliable estimate of the damage done by the two storms which have visited the southern part of Georgia, particularly tbe coast section, this fall has yet been made, and it is not prob able that one will be made that will be at all satisfactory. In fact, it is not possible to make an approximately correct estimate, because of the im mense territory covered by the storm and tbe great variety of property de stroyed. Estimates vary as to the amount of damage that was done to cotton. Tbe chief reason is that tbe damage in some localities was much greater than in others. Each one who makes sn estimate is guided by what be sees in tbe territory within the scope of bis observation, The same thing is true in respect to naval stores. Some of tbe turpentine farms were almost wholly destroyed, while others suffered very slight damage. Tbe majority of them that were in tbe track of the storm, it is safe to say, weie damaged from leu to fifty per cent —that is, from ten to fifty per cent, of the trees on them were blown to tbe ground. But there is no reliable data as to what percentage of tbe turpentine forests was struck by the storm. The lumber men were hit pretty badly in many localities, but they have not so much to complain of as the turpentine far mers. Probably the rice planters are the greatest sufferers by tbe storm. They lost pretty nearly their entire rice crops. Tbe outlook was bad enough for them alter tbe first storm, but tbe second storm completed tbe ruin of the rice yet in tbe fields, and all of it was there except tbe little that was saved before tbe second storm came. In addition to tbe losses which the farmers, turpentine operators and mill men suffered, there were heavy losses in towns and villages and by tbe ship ping interest. Tbe losses from the storm will be felt through all that part of the state where it was most severe for a long time. Many of the sufferers could ill afford tbe damage inflicted on them, and it will take -them a good while to get Into fairly comforta ble circumstances again.—Savannah News.

When Caleb Cushing was our min ister near the court of Madrid says tbe Pittsburg Dispatch, he had this little experience, whisk he wee fond of tell ing on himself Shortly after he had become settled in his new home he was bidden to a elate ceremonial where be wae to be presented to the King His knowledge of languages was limited to English and French, and being desirous of addieaelng tbs sovereign in his own tongue he took paios to “coach” for tbe occasion. Several phrases were rehearsed until he felt that be bad mastered them. When tbe critical moment arrived be saluted tbe King with great dignity, epoke a few words in Spanish and passed on. “What did you say? ’ asked sn Eo lith gentleman. “I spoke in Spanish,” was the reply. “I said *1 cast myself at your feet,’ which lam told io tbe most respectful form to salute.” “Ab, no!” corrected a Spaniard, who bad been observed to smile at tbe ambas sador’s greeting. “You are mistaken ; you transposed your words and quite altered tbe meaning.” VWhat did I say ?” asked tbe American diplomat. With a twinkle in hie eye the Span iard made answer. “What you really said was, *1 throw my heels at your head.' ” But the King bad not be trayedAjkoo much as the fluttering of an eyelid, that anything unusual bad occurred. THE EXCELLENCE OF SWJP OF FIOS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all tbe importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the Caufornia Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cat.i fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.
