Genuine Peerless Cotton Seed. Fort Valley, Ga., Ang. 1st. 1888. I have about 200 bushels of genu ice Peerless Cotton Seed to spare. I am fully satisfied and can show by the growing crop that it will yield one third more cotton per acre than the common seed planted in the conn try. My price per bushel delivered at Fort Valley is one dollar. Should yon want a few bnsbeJssend me your order catly. I -propose to save all tho early picking for planting seed. By doing so I secure the genuine, as the Peerless is an early cotton, and opr ns before Ibe common stalks that have become mixed with it.

THE YELEOW FEVER REFUGEES OFFEREO A REFUGE The World's Health Resort is Not Scared—Proceedings of the Council. Yesterday's council proceedings threatened to be uniutcrefitiog and uneventful, but just before adjourn ment the Mayor ' made a motion which was unanimously carried and wbicb is worth recording. It was as follow?: Resolved, r i d ns Griffin is sitnat ed in a region \ aere yellow fever can spend itr lace in vain without danger to those who have not been exposed in infectious districts, as was abundantly proven by the txpe rience of 1876, when large numbers of patients came here from Savannah and other points; therefore, be it farther Resolved, That nil psasons now refageeing from •’ scourge which has broken ou. J icksonviile, aro cordially and earnestly invited to make Griffia their home daring the time that they may be exiled from their own domiciles because of the ep identic, and are assured that they can not stop at any better or healthier place. These geo i : n sentiments were heartily ccdo; : but at tbe same time, of course, it will be understood that because of them Griffin is cot to be made the dumping ground of the paupers of any community. It mer ns that now, as always, Griffin is ready to welcome worthy otizens whether they come as permanent res idents or as temporary sojourners, The further proceedings of coun cil were unimportant. An invitation was read asking the city to be represented at the Chatta hoochec Valley Exposition. A petition was read from the butch ers asking protection from people bringing meats and selling on the streets. Tabled. Reports of offiaers read and record ed. An ordinance against blowing whistler in the corporate limits was passed. Several accounts were ordered paid. $95 was taken off the assessment on the J. C- Mangbam place; $100 wa3 taken off the Goolsby place; $250 off tho Georgia Hotel property: and $500 off the George & Ingram corner. Two more bands were added to tho street force. The attention of the nnsiance com rnittee was called to several matters. Adjourned. An Automatic Medicine Dispenser. An American manufacturer of sugar coated pills added to the attractions of an exhibit of his product iu London an in¬ genious piece of mechanism, which might have been intended to represent the pharmacist of the future. It was in the form of a cabinet provided with a series of knobs or buttons, each inscribed with the name of some malady for which a remedy might be asked. The customer puts a coin into a slit and presses tho button calling for the remedy he requires, when immediately a drawer flies out con¬ taining the article sought. This auto¬ matic dispenser of course makes no mis¬ takes. If the customer accidentally presses the wrong button, he alone is re¬ sponsible for the error.

Alexander's charger, Bucephalus, is known to every school boy. He re¬ ceived after death the honor of a mauso¬ leum, and the city of Bucephala was named after him. Celer, the horse of the Emperor Yerus, was also honored with a mausoleum in the Vatican after his death, and while living was fed upon almonds and raisins, clothed with royal purple, and stabled in the palace. The horse of Caligula, Incitatus, was still more highly honored while living. He was made priest and counselor, ate from an ivory manger, and drank wine from a golden pail, —F. S.
