Your tnost valuable medicine, (Swift’s Spe

saying this for the bonellt of those who suffer
like I did. I was poisoned by Poison Oak,and
saw not a well day for six years, until 1 used
Swift's Spec!lie. In tie- six years I used al
most every kind of medicine,but none had the
desired otYoct. After using six bottles of
Swift \s Specific I am restored to perfect health
—with not a slen of that awful poison left.

Remarkable Results.
I have had remarkable success with Swift’s
Specific; hvccured s< vie.il eases permanent
ly in a very short-time. One case which 1 am
now troutine was given up to die, and after
usinat three iKittles is so far recovered that I
think one more bottle will cure her. The
most remarkable ease of all was a lady with
medulary cancer of the womb, for whom I
had no hope whatever. A Perusing one bottle

Editorial Correspondence.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 14th.
It was our desire to be present at
the grand demonstration hereon
Tuesday night having received a
special invitation. But the task of
bringing the Gazette out of the ash
es of the late fire prevented and
robbed us of much real pleasure.
Being called here today we have
had the pleasure of witnessing some
very interesting signs of the occa
sion. From all accounts the dem
onstration was certainly the grand
est offered by any city in the
state. We are pleased to note ma
ny improvements and progress in
building in the past few months.
One of the most important build
ings now being erected is the new
hotel by Mr F. Guernsey on the the
site of the old “Dixie works”
lot. In the past few years some of
the handsomest business houses in
the state have been built here while
talking to a warehouseman he said
the present crop of cotton is the
finest Georgia has ever raised. He
was asked to explain and did so
by saying he had not seen in
all the crop a single stained bale
it was all clear of stain, white and
beautiful, it a little remarkable
that in the principal cotton rais
ing part of of the state no rain has
fallen since the cotton begnns to
open. Such weather lias not been
recorded before. Cotton has been
spurring up in prices since the elec
tion of Cleveland. The figures
ran up to 9gc.
The young business men of Ma
con are live and wide awake to
their interest and seek every avail
able method to build up a trade.
They are abreast with the ago. We
note with pleasure the large bus
in ess of,
T. G. Burke.
successor to <0 Burke & Son Mr.
Burke is in every sense a first class
business mail and liberal in deal
ings. lie has one of the handsome
eat buildings in the city thoroughly
stocked from cellar to first story
with material and builders hard
ware including a stock of every
thing that constitutes a first class
business. Paints oils and brushes
from the cheapest to the least used
by artists he succeeds the old firm
with the ha-ppiest prospects for sue
cess and prosperity.
Ohme & Reynold-!
Both these Jyoung men are live;
and enterprising. Only a few
mouths arc needed to bring them
to the leading houses in the city.
Our readers;will remember that Mr
Reynolds but a few months
since came to Barnesville and car
ried to Macon one of our most
('farming young ladies. Wo were
pleased to see from his crowed
store and handsome line of goods
that he is on the road to success
| and prosperity. Those who are
now erecting buildings in Barnes
j vide would consult their interest
by calling on the firm, They are
■ prepared to make figures on time
and iron roofing fitting up for gas
and water works. They carry too a
handsome line of stoves and espec
ially the oil stove now so much
earring into use. Another promi-
nent firm is.
Hays &Manfild
dealers in rough anddress'od lumber
moulding, shingles laths and build,
ing mnierials. Orders sent to this
firm will be promptly filled in the
| most satisfactory manner.
We bad the pleasure of dropping
|in at the Macon City Bakery no 4l
I cotton Avenue. 1 fere wc found Mr.
M Ncwmantl e “Barnesville B iker
who unfortunately lost all by the
tire here. Wc were pleased to sec
a neat room with the counters crow
ed with confections, fruits and
cakes With the aidofhis charming
wife he said he was goingalong and
hoped soon to buildup a trade that
would support his family. The
good lady expressed regrets that she J
was so crowded at the time that si e |
could not send a handsome cake to
Miss Fannie Blalock for her wed-1
ding present. Mr. Newman and I
family made many friends in Barne !
ville who regret the fire forced them
to seek another place for their fu
ture home.
P E DINNIB JR.
It was our pleasure to be in the
office of Mr PE Dennis jr Macons
prominent architect and engineer.
He took a thorough course in the
department at the state University
and is well qualified to meet all de
mands as an architect or engineer.
If such service is needed by our peo
pie in rebuilding the; town so recent
ly burnt it will be to their interest
to call on him.
a \v TUP NEB
One of the handsomest business
rooms we saw in Macon was the
store of Mr A W Turner near the
book concern of JAY’ Burke & Co.Mr
Turner has a complete stock of ci
gala; and tobaccos and wholesale
to the trade, when you need to
bacco or cigars give him a call.
Atlanta, Oct. 18th, 1884.
J. C. McMictiael— Dear Friend —
Wo live in a world of change, of
misfortune, of sorrow and disap
pointment. He who sows to-day,
knows not whether he shall reap
good or ill for his labor. A breath
may sweep away reputation, or send
it flying to the corners of the earth
on the wings of scandal. The fruits
of a life of toil, devoured in a mo
ment of apparent security, by the
very clement upon ■which life is pro
tectedlrom cold,and without which
the food of civilized man could not
he prepared, nor commerce across
continents propelled. A fair form,
full of life, of hope, of noble
thoughts and lofty aspirations, in
stinct with love and sympathy fbr
all that is good and pure in life on
earth, to-morrow is cut down like a
sheaf by the reaper, and becomes
but a clod, such as the “ploughman
turns with his rude share and treads
upon.” The noble ship which to
day' plows its way through the
waves like a thing of life,hearing to
distant shores it may be, bread for
perishing thousands, or abundant
wealth for a fortunate few, to-mor
row sinks beneath the very ele
ment upon which it depended for
buoyancy and progress, oris dash
ed to pieces upon rocks which
guard the entrance to its port of
destination ! The thriving City of
to-day, becomes the charnel house
of some deadly plague, to-morrow.
The lovely village, or town of busy 7
and prosperous commercial life,
with its stores, warehouses, hotels
and all that enter into the make
up of an attractive home and well
to-do cammunity 7 , presents to-day
its lovely exterior to the ey 7 e of the
gazer. To-morrow the blackness
of desolation marks the spot, and
wreck and ruin sit in grim ghastli-
ness, as the presiding Deity over
the scene. Alas ! tor poor human
hopes. “What shadows we are,
what shadows we pursue!” How
my heart goes out in sympathy to
all the sufferers in Barncsvillc but
more especially and particularly
to yourself. A beautiful little city
of yesterday, a mass of cinders
ashes and ruin today! Types,
which but a few days since, and
for weeks, months and years past,
spoke through the columns of the
Gazette to its thousands of read
ers, o life and death, of hope and
fear, of trade and traffic, of religion
and morality, of crops and prices,
of seed time and harvest, etc., a e
today but a mass of molten meta',
silent, voicch so dumb ; like the hi -
man tongue when still in death, it
will be heard no m ire, until re
cast in another life, beyond the
resurrection and grave of earthly
hope's. So the type will never weave
again into words, until they come
forth once more from the moulds
of the founder—their resurrection
to anew life of activity, of thought
and of word. I was surprised an it
grieved to see you had no insur
ance. How was that? Insurance
in a good company, is the resurrec
tion of property to life and useful
ness again, just as repentance and
faith in Christ, is the only insur
ance for the human soul, and of its
resurrection from the grave to a
newer, brighter, and more glorious
life beyond. While it is human to
grieve over earthly losses and dis
appointments, afflictions and be
reavements, if we have taken out a
policy in the kingdom of Christ,
it will matter little in the end wheth
or we were worldly wise or not.
“All things work together for good
to them that love the Lord, who
walk not after the flesh but after
the spirit.” 1 know you well
enough to believe you will not de
spond or cry over spilt milk, but
"pick your flint and try again. In
Gods own good time Ho will pros
per you and give back your loss, if
he sees it is for your good. He is
the best judge of what is best for
us. \W know not. Wo can ■ only
plan and fail, and plan again and
fail again, but His plans never fail.
In hours of gloom and darkness,
our chief, and in fact, only conso
lation comes to ns from looking up
to Him ; and in answer to the pray
er of the soul for submission to
His will in all things, comes the
blessing ofthe Spirit, which enables
us to repeat triumphantly, “though
he slay me, yet will I trust in Him ;
the Lord gave, the Lord has taken
away, blessed be the name of the
Lord. * * * *
I did not hoar of your calamity
and that of your little city, until I
saw it in the morning paper. I
shuddered as I read. I felt a per
sonal interest in the loss, as I al
ways do sympathise with my
friends in misfortune and' rejoice
when I hear of their good fortune.
When I took up my pencil, it was
simply to let fall an expression of
my heart-felt sorrow and grief at
your misfortune, calamity or Prov
idential visitation, nr whatever it
may he. My thoughts run away
with my pencil, and the reflections
which precode are the result. I
beg pardon if they bore you, they
at least, are not premeditated —
they come warm and gushing from
the heart. I wish they were coined
dollars to aid you In rebuilding,
instead of coined words. Su di as
I have I give unto thee. May G ed
ifies sand prosper you in rich spir
itual blessings to more than com
pensate for the loss of that which,
perisheth by the breath of the
flame. You have wile and child
dren, home and love, to say noth
ing of health, and hope and energy
left you. You are far from being
desolate.
This is written in much pain. It
is more than I have written in sev
eral months. My right shoulder
has been much out of gear this
whole year, in fact for several years
some detect in the shoulder lias
produced extreme nervousness and
partial paralysis of the hand and
lingers, But this year it has pained
me at times and gets worse each
week. Now I have no strength in
my right shoulder, cannot lift any
weight higher than my head. It
took a great occasion, or such an
excitement as your misfortune
furnished to nerve me to the effort
of writing even a page.
