Extensive preparations aro going for ward for tlio observance of decoration day at Atidorsonvillo. Thousands of people from this section of Southwest Georgia will attend tho exercisos, and tlio usual contingent from Americus will go up hy special train. Next Saturday is tlio day sot apart hy the grand army of tho republic, and universally observed as momorial day, in honor of tlio dead of tlio union army.

How n llrautlful Flower Was Named. An old legend tolls of two lovers, walking by the river Rhine. TJiu lady begged her suitor to pluck a litjfle pale- blue flower, growing on tho bank. In doing so, lie fell into tho water, and w’ns drowned; hut while sinking, ho threw the flower to hor and cried: “Forget me not!” Thousands of women will never forgot what I)r. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription has done for them. It is pre pared especially, to cure those diseases from winch they alone suffer, and often in silence, rather than consult a physi cian—as periodical pains, weak back, prolapsus, and all uterine troubles Purely vegetable, and guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or money refunded. The Oldest Citizen*. “Do you know how many white citi- zens of Americus aro fifty-seven years old, and more?” was the question asked the reporter yesterday. Of course he did not, and candidly confessed tho truth. Tho question was asked by a party of gentlemen w ho had counted up at ran dom such of their acquaintances as were known U> be over lifty-seven years of age, and on up to the nineties. The list presented showed the names of fifty-three well known citizens, not ono of whom was under lifty-seven. There are, of conrse, many more, but this number served the purpose in tended. Several days since gentleman fifty- seven years old w’as referred to in those columns as an “aged citizen.” A num ber of his associates, it seems, did not so regard him, and made up a list of gentlemen of their acquaintance equally as old, but who by no means are consid ered “aged.” Tills showing is certainly creditable to the health of Americus. The (Irratcjit Dlitrovery of tho Age. Dyspepsia is perhaps the most preva lent of all chronic diseases, and one too, up to the present time has haflled the skill of tho most eminent physicians, nearly all the proprietary medicines have been tried and failed. After spending years of study, Dr. Holt lias at length succeeded in getting up a remedy (Dr. Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir) that has never failed to cure in a single instance. If you suffer with this dis ease, try ono bottle and be convinced, It is one of tho best liver medicines known to the profession. Liver com plaints. constipation, jaundice, head ache, chronic diarrhoea, yellow skin, brown splotches an asthma, if compli cated with indigestion, if you aro troubled with any of those diseases it is a safe and certain cure.

Patent flour, and high seasoned fond and strong drinks, have taken its place, and as a result, dyspepsia, impure blood, and diseases of the stomach, liver and lungs are nu merous. The great change has led one of the most skillful physicians of the age to study out a remedy for theso modern diseases, which he has named his Gold en Medical Discovery. I)r. Pierce in this remedy has found a cure for Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Asthma, Consumption,in its early stages, .and “Liver Complaints.” William Wheeler, young man a of Nor walk, O., choked to death while eating a piece of meat at supper the other night.
