There being such a great demand for Fever remedies in this country, I have been making a special study of the different remedies used in malarial troubles ever since I have been in the drug business. I de termined last Fall upon putting up some preparation that would cure the majority of eases of Fever, Ague, Chills, etc., and that would take the place of a great number of Northern and .Western Fever and Ague remedies, believing that one living in this section \s capable of preparing something that is better for the peculiar class of fever and the debilitating condition of the system that prevails during the Summer months.

JudgeJoel dranhnm, of the Rome Circuit, is presiding this week in trying some railroad cases lit which Judge Brownii disqu lifbd. Judge Brown is holding court at Cedartmvn foj Judge Branham. Solicitor Gober is on hand as usual and is inde fatigable in tho performance! of iris court duties. The charge Judge Branham to the grand jury was strikingly forcible, and par ticularly so in expounding the duties of working the public roads. In regard to breaking up tlio prac tice of carrying concealed weapons, lie gave an illustration that came under his observation while a practicing attorney iu Rome. He had a clerk in his law office who was in the habit of carrying con ceal weapons in each of his vest pockets. This he tried to persuade ilic clerk not to do, but ho was persistent in his purpose. A client made a remark to the clerk after he (Branham) had lest his cr.s tliati he made no effort to do his duty in the matter. On accosting tho client about it ho denied mak ing the statement. The clerk and the client and Judge Branham all met in the law office, when the clerk wanted to Jiriotv of the client if lie denied, making the aforesaid remark. The client emphatically denied it, when the clerk, who was seated at a table waiting, looked up and sim ply remarked: “Well, you have riej, that’s all.” The client, a large, muscular fellow, picked up the tongs, and was intending to brain the clerk, when the aforesaid clerk pieced his fingers ir his.vest pocket and palled out a derringer, aud without getting up from his seat rested his hand ou the table arid exclaimed * -“You put down those tongs!” Tho man verry prudently- put down the tongs. When l.e had left, the clerk said to Judge Bran ham, “You havo always insisted that I should not carry a pistol as I would have no need of it. Nojv, supposethat I -had not. had that’ woapan,. that fellow would have killed in; with those tongs.” "Nut all probable.” replied Judge Branham. “Why?” interrogated the surprised clerk. “Because,” replied Judge Branham, “if you had been without a pistol, you would not have called the fellow a liar.” This was a revelation to ' the clerk and he abandoned the practice qf currying concealed weapons,—Marietta Journal. Indianapolis, Xoy. 25.—Vice- President Hendricks died very suddenly at his residence a few minutes before 5 o’clock this after noon. *n)r. Mr. Hendricks died under cir- were particularly __ ifoOiilyr apd friends, insomuch as they Jiad riot anticipated a fatal termination of his brief illness, and nobody was with him when the end came. He returned from Chicago on Satur day last, nnd since then had been complaining some what of pain in his head and breast, but nothing serious was thought of it. Last night he and Mrs. Hend ricks attended a reception given at the residence of lion. John Cooper, treasurer of the State, returning home in their carriage about midnight. Mr. Hendricks had taken off the heavy clothing which he usually wore, and put on a dicss suit of lighter material, nnd before he got home he com- plainc d of chilliness and « certain degree of cxhauiffion, hut attribu ted it to malarial influences. He sat by the fire for an hour or more before retiring, hut declined to send for a physician although urged to do so. He slept restlessly until about 8 o'clock this morning when he arose, dressed himself and ate quite a hearty breakfast, say ing that lie felt much better and would attend to considerably K.v layed business during the day. He and Mrs. Hendricks walk ed out'for nearly half an hour, and he had apparently regained his phisical vigor and cheerful ness. An hour later, however, he began to bo troubled with pains in the region of his stom ach. Mrs. Hendricks sent for the family physician, Dr. W. C. Thompson, a life-long and con fidential friend of the Vice Pres ident, who relieved his pain. He arose from his bed, in which lie had lain only a few minutes, and read the morning papers, talking cheerfully-with his wife and an old house servant. J ust before noon to had a relapse however,_and tho physician was again summoned and adminis tered the usual remidies, besides bleeding the patient, and Mr-. Hendricks again expressed him self as being greatly relieved. He remained in his room all the afternoon, occasionally ris ing from his bed, to which he was compelled to return by a re currence of the abdominal pains. To all callers who came, and they were numerous, ho sent word that he was indisposed, but would be glad to seo them tomorrow. About 4:30 o’clock Mrs Hendricks who had been at bis bedside ail day, went down into the parlor to see a caller who had come to consult with her regarding the affairs of a re- formitory institution of which she was one of the managers, and she remained with him about 20 minutes. “Tom,” a-colored servant, and Harry Morgan, Mr. Hendricks’ nephew, and a page iu Washing- ington, remained with him. The servant went out aud Mr. Morgan stayed. Mr. Headricks tossed uneasily in his bed, and J. L.

Thomas Shaw lias made a bale to the aero on some of his land in Cobb county. ; A somewhat curious anecdote is related among the vaccinators of a young woman whose curi osity has outrun her judgment. She investigated the contents of one of the vaccinator’s recepta cles in the house in which be lived, and whorein she was a servant. They were nice tooth picks, she thought, so sharp- pointed; a little wide perhaps, and clumsy. She was going to have one, anyway. * She took one of the vaccine points, which arc ivory, and easily mistaken for tooth-picks by a servant who knew nothing of vaccination. She picked her teeth with the. point, and before long could not. tell what was the matter with . her. Neither could any one else, until she showed the doctor the tootli-pick. Ho knew then what he had to deal with. The result is better imagined than - descri- ben, as the vaccination “took.” nty, to complained of great pain, but suddenly it seemed to cease, and he said to his nephew: “I AM FBEIC AT LAST, SEXD FOE ELIZA,” meaning bis wife, and these were his last words, for the young man not realizing the u:- gency of the message, did not deliver.it at once. Just before 5 o’clock Mrs. Hand ricks came Last Sunday a hale of goods was discovered iu tho swamp about 100 yards south-of the railroad. On examination tho package was found to be marked to' D. S.

The low price of cotton is causing many farmers to keep baek their cotton from the mar ket. This will account largely for the general stringency that prevails in the money market.
