The Well.
Since last Friday the artesian well men
have been boring in rock. At one time
they struck a small stream, but not of
sufficient size to warrant stopping for it.
The well is now about niuo hundred and
fifty feet deep, and water is expected
every hour, or as soon us they get through
the rock.

Arsenic for Hors and Thieves*
New* nnd Advertiser.
A prominent Lee county farmer who
woe in the city yesterday reported that
nearly half of his stock of hogs had been
stolen ’during tbe last few weeks. There
bos been very little hog stealing going on
been badly demoralized by the failure of
lost year's crop, and many of them have
gone to stealing. The Lee county farmer
above referred to carried a supply of
arsenic home with him, and said he in
tended to feed enough of it to his hogs to
kill anybody that eats a piece of one of
them. Hogs can cat arsenio with im
punity, but the flesh of a hog that has

Don't Give up.
7 he Marcs are all in your favor. Tliou-
sacds of cases of Consumption, Catarrh,
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Bronchitis, and
other chronic diseases—some of n most
painful and desperate character—have
been cured in tho last thirteen years by
Compound Oxygqp. If you are a sufferer
from any disease which your physician
has failed to relieve, don't despair. Write
to Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1100 Girard
Street, giving them a clear statement of
yonr case, and ask an opinion as to your
cliances of recovery under their new
Vitalizing Treatment. It tcill cost you
nothing, at they make no charge for con-
notation. Accompanying their reply you
will receive such documentary evidence
of their honorable character os physicians,
and euoh direct and emphatic testimony
In regard to what Compound Oxygen has
done and is doing for suffering humanity,
that you will be able to decide for your
self the question whether or not to put
faith in them'aud the new.remedy which
they ore so widely dispensing.
If, however, you do*not wish to consult
them at present, drop a postal-card and
ask them to send you their Treatise on
Compound Oxygen. From this you will
gain all the information required to get
an intelligent idea of the nature and
action of this new remedy for chronic
diseases, and so be able to judge for your
self whether or not it will be beneficial
in your own case, as it has been in-tbou^

scope and meaning of what wo say, that
every job of any consequence in our
cemetery exhibits the same glaring dis
crepancy between cost and value. These
are facts which any ono interested may
easily verify; but these nra not nil the

The Missionary Anniversary.
The sixteenth anniversary of the Metho
dist Sunday-School Missionary # Society
was celebrated at the Methodist church
Sunday evening last The exercises con
sisted of short recitations by membors of
each class, beginning with the infant class
of girls, “Lambs of the Flock,*’ under the
supervision ot Mrs. G. W. Hancock.
Thirteen classes participated in the exer-
io this region of late years, until quite rc^. eisen, aiul as the name of each clasp was
cently. Tho negroes in this county have called by tbe Superintendent, one scholar
would rise nnd give the scriptural motto,
and then another would recite an appro
priate poetical verse. The recitations
were interspersed^with beautiful and ap
propriate songs by tho school. Especially
admired was the singing of “Jewels," by
the infant classes, and the song “Must I
Go, nnd Empty Handed," as rendered by
Mr. Granberry’s class ot “Reapers,” with
chorus by tho school
The report of the Treasurer showed
that the schoolj had raised] tho sum of
$103.10 for Foreign Missions during tbe
past year.
Tho beautiful Missionary banner was
then awarded to Mr. S. 8. Sullivan’s class
of “Standard Bearers," by tho pastor,
they having contributed tho largest
amount to tho general fund during tho
last quarter.
After a short address by Mr. Cook, und
a closing song by the school, the large
congregation dispersed, well pleased with
the interest and success of the occasion.
For several years Col. F. E. Burke, of
this city, has been engaged in loaning
money on real estate . in this section and
bus built up a large business in this line.
As tho money was procured from the
North aud nil papers were subject to the
approval of these parties, there was often
great delay in procuring the money. To
j obviate this difficulty Col. Burke lest win
ter secured from the legislature a cuirter
for the Georgia Lum and Trust Company,
with office at Americas, sn that the busi
ness might be done here at lionu*, satisfac
torily und expeditiously. A few weeks
ago Col. Burke went North to Bridge
port, Coun., and securing the co-opera
tion of a number of c&pitnl'sts organized
bis company with a capital of $100,000,
and the following boird of directors were
elected: F. E. Burke, of Americus Ga.;
S. C. Trubeo, Alex. Hawley and E. Burr,
Jr., of Bridgeport."Conn.: H. II. Knapp
and Benjamin lietis. of Fairfield, Conn,
and A. O. Coleman.of Baxter 8pringH t Kan-
sin. At a subsequent meeting F. K Burk
elected provident, F.. Burr, Jr., vice-
president, and A. O. Coleman secretary
and treasurer.
Wc are pleased to see this organization
as it will bring into this section a large
amount of Northern capital nndaff'rd our
people an opportunity to secure loans on
real estate upon tho most advantageous
terms, enabling them to make many need
ed improveiuon's. It cannot but have
the effect of materially assisting in the d
volrpment of this country, ns tho same
ay stem of Ioann assisted in the develop
moot of the North western States.
The character of tho gentleman com
posing the directory of this company is
sufficient guarantee that the company
has strong financial backing, while the
known business ability of Colonel Burke
is a guarantee that the business of the
company will be energetically and suc
cessfully conducted. Ono of the first to
introduce this system of loans in South
west Goorgia, Colonel Burke is eminently
fitted for the portion he occupies. With
a thorough acquaintance of the business
and of the people of this section, success
ful in every business enterprise he has
uudcitaken, tho company is to be con
gratulated upon hAVing such a head. The
fact that ho him within tho past few yearn
placed thousands of dollars of loans in
Georgia for Northern investors without a
single default in the payment of interest
is a guarantee to investors that their in
terests will be carefully guarded, and will
command for the company ample fnnds
for investment. We wish the oempaoy
success, believing that its operations will
be beneficial to our people and to our
city, making set stronger its claim of
being tbe commercial capital of South
west Georgin.

A Noble Donation.
Below wo give a communication made
by Col. S. H. Hawkins to the churches of
this city, in which bo proposes to donate
to them a tract of the Furlow Lawn prop
erty, they to dispose of it to tbe city for
park purposes und use the proceeds for
clothing needy clildron, that they may
Attend Sabbath school. The purpose of
the donation is a noble one and reflects
credit upon the Christian character of tbe
donor. There is no spot in the oity
more appropriate for a park than at the
Lawn, and we hope to see the donation
accepted by the churches and the city;
A\fKUlcus, Dec. 7th, 1883.
To the Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Jiap-
tint, and Methodist Episcopal\ Churches
of Americus:
If your respective Churches will select
three proper persons as Trustees to rep
resent the interest of each Church, I will
donnte to these Trustees thus selected a
tract of ground on Furlow Lawn, for the
purposes hereinafter named.
They are to sell said ground for a fair
price, if they can, to the city of Americus,
within the next two years, tho same to be
nsed by the city exclusively for a City
Park, and to be paid for in three annual
installments. When the first installment
is*-paid, it is to be divided among said
Trustees as hereinafter stated. The Trus
tees of each Church shall be entitled to
receive of such installment in proportion
to the average attendance of scholars
in the Sunday Schools of said several
Churches during the six months proceed-
iug the date of such apportionment, and
tho second and third apportionments
shall be made in'liko manner.
The said Trustees selected*by the said
Churches, and.* their successors to be
selected in same way, shall hold titles to
said lot until said city may agree with
them upon terms of purchase, provided
this may be dono within two years, and
in that ovent the deed of conveyance to
tho city shall limit fand restrict the use
and occupancy of said lot t a public
Park—tbe said deed of conveyance shall
further stipulate, that in case sold lot at
any time may cease to be nsed as a public
Park, it shall thereupon revert to the
writer or his representatives.
If said city shall not within two years
see proper to purchaso.said lot from said
Trustees, they thereupon are to reconvey
titles to said ground back to the grantor
LOVI8 BRir, JR.
I h*ve heard any number of young men
exclaim: “I wish I knew of some way to
make money without investiog any.” I
think I can tell them. Fat pine wood is
very costly in cities,and it sells at a good
price. Iu Southwest Georgia, a short
distance from towns, it can be bought for
a mere song. It seems to me that a man
could buy fifty ora hundred loads, out it
up. ship it by the car load to AtUnta,
Macon, Home or any North Georgia city,
and sell it out in small quantities at an
enormous profit. For starting fires quick
ly there is nothing in the world so gond
as fat pine, nnd housekeeper# would wjj-
liugly pay a good prico for it. This is
merely a suggestion, however, and can bo
taken for what is worth.
Speaking of young men reminds mo of
an energetic and learned Professor who
is now living hero. He is undoubtedly
tho most energetic man in Southwest
Georgia. He had $.ot been here two days
until he had walked Americus over, and
knew every alley aud by street in it. Ho
gradually extended the breadth of his.
morning walk until one Saturday he
walked up to Andersonvillc and bade be
fore breakfast—tho next morning, and it
is to be feared that he will use up all tho
territory before the term for whioh he is
engaged is ended. Ho takes his hardest
jaunts on Saturday, and tho last Saturday
ho was heard from he was in Smithville,
enquiring how far it was to Montgomery
nnd back.
It is lmrd to always reach public opin
ion,but if you know how, it takes nothing
longer than a pin head to stir it into life.
No one evor thought there would bo any
contest for aldcrinanic honors tliis year,
and it seems odd to. know that a little
communication, signed “Voter," publish
ed in the Recorder of Sunday, Nov.
23th, nnd containing only a dozen lines,
should have caused all tho trouble now
going on. Of course side issues grew out
of it, and personal feelings were touched,
but that communication was the little
fire that started the blaze which is now
burning.
A terrible PROPHECY, f.
•Alev—How to Moot It?
The recent mysterious appearances fol
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise have
attracted wide attention from students of
the skies and the people generally. Dur
ing the days of recent weeks tho sun
seems to have been obscured by a thin
veil of n dull leaden hue which, ns the
sun receded toward the horizon, became
more luminous, then yellow, then orange,
then red; and, as night settled do * n upon
tbe earth, a dull purple. At first it wus
thought these Appearances w*re ordinary
sunset reflections of light but it is now
pretty certain that they are either the
misty substance of the tail of some un
seen cornet, in which the earth is envel
oped, or a surrounding stratum of world
dust or very small meteors. Professor
Brooks, of the Rod House Observatory,
Phelps, N. Y., has turned Ins telcaoco
upon these objects and discovered what
ho thinks are myriads rf telescopic
meteors. If it is unorganized world dust,
or decomposed vapois, as the Democrat
and Chronicle, of Rochester, N. Y., re
marks: “How is this matter to bn disposed
oi? Will it settle and form a deposit upon
tbe earth, or remain a partial npnquo
shell about the earth to cut off a portion
of the sun’s light upon it?"
Whatever the mystery is, there is no
denying that some very strange forces are
at work in the upper airs. The terrible
tornadoes aud cyclones wbicti have swept
our own country, and the fearful volca
noes and earthquakes which liavo de
stroyed so many cities and thousands of
people—tho tidal wav».s which mysteri-

Tho influence that lotteries have over

COUNCIL HEETIXti.
Monday. December 10, 1880.
Present, Mayor Felder, Aldermen Wil
liams, Watts, Burt and Cobb. Absent,
Aid. Bell and Morgan.
Tbe continued appeal case of Munro
Adams on the charge of disorderly con
duct was dismissed on motion of Alder
man Williams.
Upon the minutes of the last meeting
being read, Alderman Bart moved for a
reconsideration of that part which related
to thecaso of T. B. Gowan and the cotton
tax in his case, which motion was lost
and the minutes confirmed.
Aldermsn Watts reported the new cis-
ousfy rise and full on coasts hitherto mi-
vexed by tbcoi—the tremendous activity
whioh is evident in the snu by the roa
sts ut revelation of enormous spots
upon its snrfuc'e—all indicate unusual
energy in the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Professor
Grimuter's prophecies thnt from 1881 to
1887, the passago of the five great planets
—Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus aud
Saturn—around the sun would produce
strange and wonderful phenomena, lie
says: “Thu waters of the earth will be
come noire or less poisonous. The utr
will he foul with noisuuio odors. Ancient
races will disappear from the earth.'’ He
attempts to prove his prophecy by the
fact llrut lit 17:10, when Mura nnd Sal
made their passage around the snn u.
cidcntally, great destruction und mortali
ty visited nil parts of tits globe. Ho nine
found tbo same results in previous pt-re-
helion passages of the planets, and argues
that these circumstances always produce
epidemics and destructivo discuses which
will luitllo the skill of tho most eminent
physicians; that the poor will die by
thousands, the weak and intemperate full
ing first, those whose blood 1ms been im
poverished by excess of work or dlssipa-
tion next and only those who are in coin-
parutive vigor shall escape to e- joy tbe
era of renewed activity and prosperity
which will follow the period of destruc
tion.
Inasmuch ns the entire world seems
subject to the sway of the heavenly bodies
no part of tbe earth, he thinks, can
escape scourging. He even prediuta that
America will los. over ten millions of
people; thnt fanners will t e stricken with
fear nnd cease to till the soil; that famine
will make human misery more wretched.
That hundreds will fleo to overcrowdod
cities for aid in Vdin. That sadden
Changes in ocean currents, tempera: ure
and aurroundings will entirely transform
tbe face of nature and climnto of coun
tries; thnt the air will be so foal with

those who survive will he troubled frith
disorders of the digestive organs. That
many who escapo other ills will bloat with
dropsy and suddenly pass away, while
other, will grow thin and dreg out a
missrabloexistenoe in indescribable agony
for week.. Neuralgic pains iu different
parts of tbe body will tnrmant them,
They will easily tire and become de
spondent. A faint, hot feeling will be
■noeeeded by obilly sensations while
hallaeiations and dread of impending ill
will puralizeall effort. ‘‘The bird*iu tbe
air, the beasts of tbe field and even tbe
fish of the sea will become diseesed,
poisoning tbe air nnd pollening the
waters of the globe." Wo are told on the
other band that those who shall pass
through this period of trinl will have
larger enjoyment at life and health. Tbe
earth will yield more abundnntly than
ever before, The animal kingdom will
bo more prolific and life prolonged very
materially. This prolongation of life will
ho owing to the healthy electrie and mag
netic influences that will pervade the
atmosphere. It wonld perhaps seem
that the present redness ot the snn, and
tbe presence of a holt or veil of cosmic
matter, justified, in a measure, the pre
diction of l’rofessor Grimmer, bnt dis
turbing as bis prediction may be we are
told tor our oomfort that the atrong and
pure blooded need have little to fear in
these calamities, that those who are deli
cate or indisposed should adopt moans
to keep the system well supported and
tho blood pure and that tho most pbtlos-
phicnl and effective method of accom
plishing this is to keep the kidneys and
liver in good condition. From the testi
monials of such men as Dr. Dio Lewis
and Professor It. A. Gunn, M. D., Dean
of the United States Medical Colloge,
New York, and thousands of influential
non-professional people, it seems almost
certain that far this purpose there is no
preparation known to soicnce equal to
Warner's Safe Cure, hotter known as
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
This medicine hss acquired tbe Unset re
putation ot any preparation that wee ever
; put upon the market. It is a radleal blood
purifier, which soothes and heals all in
flamed organs, strengthens the nervosa
system, washes out nil evidences of de
cay, regulates digestion, prevents raalas-
similntion of food in a philosophical and
rational manner, fortifies the system
against climatic changes and malarial in
fluences und the destructive agencies
which seem to bo so abundant in these
"evil days.”
It is not our purpose to dispute tbe
correctness of Professor Grimraer's pro
phecies. As we have said, the marked
