The lt.asou Why, I. W. Harper’s Nelson County Whiskey is preferred above all other Brands is because U is the moat tegular and most perfect Product, inoontratnbly erer made. A long experience in the manufacture ot the Htupcr, the large capital of the Diatilter which cuahlca him to hold his Wbiikev until it haa fully ma tured, together with the fact that the Whiskey is ltought by and whipped me to direct from the Distillery accounts for the unvarying aatiaraelion it haa given those heat educated to a Hue Whiskey. -I.

Tuesday morning the news reached this city that Eb West brook, who lives on Flint river, near Lee county, had died the night before, nt 8 o'clock, of Lee county yellow fever. His death was very suddeu, as he had only been ill a few days. Eb was a bright young fellow ol about 20 years, and managed his father’s plantation on tho river. To Meet in Debate. We are informed that Maj. J. N. Hudson and Hon. W. 0. Murray will bavo a joint debate at the Opera House to-morrow (Thurs day) night, when they will present their claims to tbe people of Sum- ter county. They will also speak in Macon county before tbe elec tion, but the time and place has not been decided upon. Every body is cordially invited to attend III* nesting to-morrow night. inn to tho health of that neighborhood limn the ponds themselves. Tho marsh along the traot of those branches should ! be dried, ufl that als", in our judgment, is j productivecf disease. Marshy bind iu front | ol Milch oils dwelling, nful uot far from j Mrs. Hare’s door, wo think objectionable, j Then tho mill pond of Mr. B. C. Mitchell from the dam to above the railroad at the j old butcher pen, (just below Elbert . Head’s pond), und on tbe north side all the way up to where the street runs uu» j der the railroad, above which point the j water is stagnant, or nearly so, all day j and all night. This pond and its sur- j roundings wo deem very detrimental to j the health of the neighborhood, from ! whom daily we get the complaint that j “thoso ponds are killing u»," and “we j will bo compelled to sell out and leave.” | Next, but not least, is tho fish ponds of Elbert Head, which,iu our judgment, aro absolute nuisances and should he | abated at once. Tho little pond at the j old hath house, and tho one opposite, | emits an itHnvia that is calculated to t make all sick that comes iu contact with j them. The largest poud we think is j equally productive of sickness, as the water is almost entirely stagnant—tho water escape is very diminutive indeed. As wo before stated, tho hacked water from Mr. Mitchell's pond and just below the large pond of Elbert Head’s, with tho decayed and decaying vegetable mat ter that is there, will make it fearfully sickly. It is not onr province to suggest to the City Council what is best to do with these nuisances, but simply to say that in our judgment they do exist, greatly to the detriment of the health of the city. We would respectfully say that a thor ough system of drainage is the only rem edy, and that that cun only be done by a competent engineer, so that when these cess pools are abated it will be lasting. Now tho ponds of Dr. Black and Col. Davenport per re are not so prolific of disease ns the others, but their marsh and mud surroundings render them very obnoxious and unhealthy, much less so, however, than the ponds ef Mitchell and Head.
