As was anticipated, yesterday morning's mail brought in news of damage done by the storm of Tues day night in the northern and south ern parts of the Stale, all hough Cen tral Georgia eecaped almost entirely from any serious mishap. The only fat;.! casualty reported was uear Lniultt City, down on the East Tennessee road iu Telfair conn ty, where four men were killed. W. B. Whiddon and D V. Holland were killed at their tuipentins woiks, aud Joe Turner, of Virginia, anil a Mr. Neible, of Indiana, vmo killed in the same locality. Turpentine woiks, houses, shanties and saw mibs were blown down iu this locality. A nmn ber of others were injured. In North Georgia the storm seems to have been most geDoral. In (Jal houn not a single business house es eaped, while churches were dernol ishel and the courthouse ruined- After the rain had passed a sevvre bail stoim poured down, doing fur tber damage. The storm swept over mountains and livers from CalhouD to London, Tenn., a distance of ono hundred miles in about thirty min utes, and must have left much de structiou and loss of life in its path. In Rome the wind blew a hurri cane and indicted some damage, though nothing very serious. The African church at Hogans- ville was destroyed, and Ixrtb the colored churches demolished at Fair- burn. The wind swept over many other points, inflicting slight damages. IN OTHER STATES. In East Tennessee and along the Tennessee river the storm was as violent as anywhere, farm houses and barns being blown down and much stock killed. In several instances the inmates were cushed beneath the houses. In the far Northwest, dispatches from Montano, Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa point to the severest storm of the season, with rain, snown and heavy ice gorges forming. Professional Etiquette prevents some doctors from advertising their skill, but we are bound by no such conventional rules and think that if we make a discovery that is of benefit to our fellows, we ought to spread the fact to the whole laud. Therefore we cause to be published throughout the land the fact that Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” is the best known remedy for consumption (scrofula of the lungs) and kindred diseases. Send 10 cents in stamps for Dr. Pierce’s complete treatise on consumption, with nnsurpass ed menus of self treatment. Address, World's Dispensary Medical Association, 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y.

C. LYONS, HOW HOTELS PAT. Some Figures That Are Interesting if Not Profitable. From an exchange we clip the fol lowing item as one which will be of iuttrest to the people of Griffin, who have so long been talking about erecting a winter and summer re sort betel : Thomasville bns 1,500 visitors who spend an average each of $3 a day in the town—$4,500 per day, $31, *• 500 per week—$135,000 per month, $540,000 per season of f^ur months. Read over these figures slowly, consider them well, remembering that this money finds it way, through the channels of trade, into every man’s pocket, and then you will more clearly understand how large hotels pay a town. Half a million dollars every year would help out Griffin, and we could have it by do ing what Thomasvillo bas done— going to work ourselvm and erecting a couple of fine hotels. The fact is that wo are getting very tired of the talk of people who loudly acknowledge the need of a good hotel, but whisper that it would not pay. Five years ago the president of our cotton factory thought that cotton manufacturing by steam power would not pay as against the water power so general ly used ; but upon investigation he became convinced otherwise, and the result is that today we have one of the neatest and be8 f , paying mills in the South, and another one to go up in a few months. Running a hotel in Griffin, like aDy other business, will pay with good management and pay well. It would certainly pay the people of Griffin, and they would woik for their interests in seeing that it paid the landlord. Instead of one brief season, a resort hotel here would have two seasons—winter for North J3H50 pieces iovely colored Stripe Law ns at5 cents. Just take time to examino this line before leaving the store. j : pieces English Twilled Woolens, j decidedly the BIGGEST OFFERING in the store. They embrace a line of gray, mixed, brown mixed, and g ay and brown stripes, and cost to manufacture doubl what we ask for them. But Lvo.vs bought them Have cheap and they go the same six dajs, way. had them in the store but and half of the line have been sold without a word of Advertising to Push Them. It’s a ten str ke, but ihey g* at 15 c. a yard all the same. You will open your eyes when vou examine the goods and get the prices, v on 40 touch the quality elsewhere for less than c. erners and summer for Southerners and, practically, the whole year, since it could easily be made a half way point between the North and Florida. Even ODe-half of 540,000, if that were all, is not to be lightly turned aside without a second thought You may cut toe figures dowu as much as you can in a legitimate way, but there will still be enough left to be worthy of attention and thought.

Ah, if our dreams only came true, sighed the young man that boards on South Division street. Last night I dreamed that I called on a t lord. I find that I can control my visions to a considerable extent by dieting. For instance, if I wish to enjoy a calm night with dream* cf a pleasant character, I eat toast or bread and milk just before retiring.
