No other complaints tire so ijuidiom in their attack aa those affecting the throat and lungs: nono so trifled with by tbo majority of suffer er*. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex posure, is often but the beginning of *a fata* sickness. Ayer’s Cherry Sectoral has well proven its cttlcacy in a forty years' Jght with throat and lung diseases, and should bo taken iu oil cases without delay. A Terrible Cough Cured* '* In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Ayeh’k Cdkruy Pec- TOBAL, which relieved my lungs, induced Bleep, nnd afforded me tho rest necessary for the recovery of my strength.

Let mo tell you, Mr. Kdi- tor, ..tintil the people of Georgia learn’ either to raise what we cht or else be content to eat what we raiso, we will always he the B'nvcs and bondsmen of the “crop mort gage.” If wie can’t raise bacon, we must learn te eat something else besides bacon. Ponder on these things, men of tho South, and let us make a mighty effort to rend the Shackels of the tyrant. Not by repudiation^ hut by steady liquida tion. Save everything, and then moke everything. Don’t wait till you make to begin saving,, but be gin saving first.’ We may not be able to cut tho links immediately, but if we’ll but try our sympathetic brother will assist us to uncoil the suffocating form of the Anaconda, and forever free ourselves from tbo terrible “orop mortgage.” After drifting so long in the current our crafts may not lie nblcj'to wheel about and stem the current^ up ■stream, but we cau cast out the ah- Ihbtfr and gain a little strength to Ascend the stream ere we reach tho terrible cataract of ruin and deso. lation that lies before.'- This ap peal comes uot from s theoretic and ‘ peon Inti ve view, but from uu unfortunate personage who has experienced the misery that is suf fered by thoso who become suffer ers of til, relentless “crop mort gage. 5L M.

We all gathered and waited until four o’clock, but no Bro. Smith. Key. Wm. Crymes, being present, preached for us a short but most exosllent sermon. Rer. Ware, preacher in charge of tho Weston cirouit, requests os to say to the people of Preston and Tlcinity that he will preach there next Sunday evening at or 4 o’olock, as soon as he can get through with his service at Wes ton and getjtherc. We hope every body will turn out and hear him. He is a splendid preacher snd yon will be glad yon came. Mr. S. P. Kimbrough, w.ho has been dangerously ill for the past week, we are glad to say, is a little better, but not out of danger. We hope iu our next to report him much better. Mrs. Sallie Bostiok and children are visiting Mrs. Crymes of the vllle. Dr. Thomas, of Florida, was in the ville Sunday. Dr. W. C. Paschal and wife, of Dawson, are visiting at Mrs. S. P. Kimbrough’s.

We see the l|zartls crawl ing about; that is a good siga of spring. We had a fine rain on Sat urday Inst. It was heeded .and welcomed by all. The early corn is coming up and looks as if we will get a good stand. The birds are pulling up a good jleal of It, and the moles also destroy a good deal of it on sandy lands. The oats are improving somlf 'Since the rain. We liayc the poorest pros pect for an oat crop that 4rh had in several years, but.an old shying is that a bad beginning for a good ending.

Tho eyclone of mar riages are passed, the Leap-Year party over, the Oolden Troupe gone to parts unknown, artesian water still in tho depths oftbe earth, and our visiting young ladies wing ing their flight gradually to the homes they love so well, but prom ising a glimpse of their bright faces and the sound of their musical voices during Commencement week. Their presence has added much to the gayety of our “gay little city” and we shall be glad to sec them “when the rosea bloom.” Winter, bleak and cold, has den us a long adieu, and though the wind was raw a day or two this week, and the ground frozen, tho trees arc budding, tho flowers are blooming, and the lender grass covering the earth with a carpet of delicate green. The farmers are busily engaged planting their corn and getting ready to bed for cotton. Cares seem to grow lighter, and burdens more easy to be borne when the sun shines and the birds sing. Nature wishes her children to be merry, and she calls to them in a thousand different tones to bo “up and doing.” Our merchants arc making their stores attractive by the tasty ar rangement of beautiful new goods iu great variety. Their prices are modersto, too. Some of their drees goods cannot be surpassed, even in our large cities, such as elegant silks, laces and ribbons of latest pattern an£ style. Mqney, how ever, ecems to bp scarce, and the ladies hearts ache for the possess- state and although anxious tashnf- _ wishes and prayers $jf‘‘ * over tho state, who rejoh of his conyalssoence. . From tho number ef commercial tourists in oar miast,.one would suppose that Dawson was a favor ite resort. We are sure that in no place would they be mere, ktnciiy treated or fare better. Their ac commodations at the betel cannot bo iatproved, and oar merchapte. are reliable and liberal , , (>M ' We were present at the coliege exercises on Friday evening last, and were delighted. It is really a treat to listen to the recitations, readings, speeches and mqsio. one bears. The “Telephone” is p spify sheet, edited by the young, indies, and though a burlesque, contains, reading matter of no inGrior grade. An original pieee ot poetry to one. of the young ladies, or rather girls of the South Ga. College, was. a gem, and we pouted our brain* to And out to which one it was ad dressed. We foiled.

He also broke bis foot by eating a flap-jack, which be claim* to hive been the oaly food he had eaten in nearly a week. Hiamlnd seems to bo in quite a-turbulent ion of “gold, gold, gold.” Several of the citizens are mak ing preparations for the next cy clone, by having “pits” dug upon their premises. We sincerely hope that they will never need to use them for tbe proteetion of them selves or families. The health of Dawson was never better, and tbe physicians have generally’ a lean and hungry ap pearance, which will not permit u Comparison to Apollo, yet, they one dky* will do. ,Ool. J. G.
