Vs., ami Mr. James Pricker, who
beard them, informs us that they
were exceedingly interesting. The
Danville paper speaks of these leu-
lures as follows:
“Rev. Ur. Crawford, who has
been lecturing in tbe Baptist church
on the races, is one of the most en
tertaining speakers of the time and
his views have a delightlul smack
of originality and novelty.”
Rev. I)r. Martin, Presbyterian
pastor of Danville, Va., declares
Dr. Crawford to be “a better lec
turer than Talmage,”and Dr. Good
win, the Baptist pastor, says he
“never saw Danville so shaken up
as it has been by Dr. Crawford.’’
Dr. Crawford will lecture Sunday
night on missions, but no col
lection will be taken up. If our
citizens desire to hear him, he will
deliver bis scries of lectures iu this
city, beginning a week from next
Monday, lie asks no pay for bis
services other than a collection
taken up to meet his expenses. We
are sure our people will tind in his
lectures a most delightful treat, and
we advise all to attend them.

The Tournament.
The Wide Awakes had their
regular practice last night.
It is pretty definitely settled that
Americus will not lie represented
iu the Macon tournament.
This from the Montezuma Rec
ord: “Wednesday the boys were
out practicing for the Hawkins-
ville tournament, and made the
time which took the sugar at
Americus last ypar. They made
in 23 and 24 seconds. This is
hard to beat.”
The Kufuuia Mail says: “It Is
rumored among the lire boys that
the Youngs will accept an invita
tion to the Americus tournament
which lakes place on the 13tli of
May. This, though, is presumed
to be dependent upon some assur
ance Irorn the Americus compa
nies that they will accept the invi
tation to our tournament. It is to
bo hoped, in view of the fact that
the Youngs and one of the Amcri-
cus companies were disposed last
spring to have a little tournament
of their own, that some arrange
ment can be made to bring them
together. It the Youngs go to
Americus a large delegation of our
citizeos will go with them."
If the Youngs will come to
to Kufuuia—so they say.

realize the fact, that mental superi

even elevate the plebeian above the patri
cian. If any young man is ambitious f

from J. Swinton s paper, and given by so
many uneducated, to the young, just
starting out in life. “My son, knowledge,
science, art and culture are all very good
things, but you may have all of them and
yet starve. First, get money enough,
and then devote yourself to culture and
ornamentation of your nature.” He says
truly, that it has wrought more ruin to
the human soul than all its vices put to
gether. Oh! the pity of it, that so many
ure in the valley, when they should be on
the heights, if it bad not been for such
leaching as this. How many a young
law student “to fame unknown” would
be equal to a Littleton or Cok*? How
many a printer s apprentice would be n

would rival Raphael? How many a youth

advice from an ignoble mind. No wonder
we have degenerate sons, of degenerate
fathers. No wonder, young hearts heav
ing with great purposes, become callous
and turn!. No wonder, that eyes, gleam
ing with the fire of enkindled souls, be

civilization but education, but make
money first, and civilize yourself after

AX UVTF.RF.8T1XU STORY
io - Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
to j George Fickland, 41 McAfee street, At-
I lanta, Ga., and from her own lips a Con-
1 his stock to j stitution reporter learned the following
appalling stor\ :
Several months ago she bfl’nrao almost
totally blind and deaf, aud cou d not
taste anything except salt. Her bones
of intense pain, her
joints were swollen and painful, and
eventually her whole body and limbi
became covered with splotches and small
Rores. Her appetite failed, and she grad
ually lost flesh and strength, and had
but little use ot herselt, as her limbs aud
muscles were paralyzed. She, as well as
uer friends find those with whom she
lived, despaired ot her recovery. Her
sufferings, combined with loss of hear
ing and taste, and blindness, w ere truly
Leirtrending
All treatment from physicians aud the
use of medicines seemed powerless. Her
disease was blond poison and rheuma
tism. -
As she now seemed well and hearty
tbe reportei asked what wrought *nch a
wonderful change.
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and beiore one
bottle had been taken I began to see and
hear. The second bottle relieved all
rheumatic pains mid improved my ap-
le.ite. When i had completed the use
of six bottles my eyesight and hearing
were fully restored, sense of taste retain- j
ed, nil splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, ami niv strength and flesh re
st >red. I now feel as well as 1 ever did,
and my friends, as well as myself, are as
tonished.”
“What was the medicine? asked the
reporter.
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B.—was
he great remedy that acted so powerful
ly on my disease aud cured me. 1 never
experienced any unpleasant symptoms
from its use, audits action is so quick
that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician
who knew the case, wheraupon he hand
ed us the following lines;
“I examined the above case of blood
poison and rheumatism, before ami after
being cured, and certify to the mein facts
as above stated, and must acknowledge ;
that the B. B. B efleeted a most woDder- j
ful cure in this well-known case.
