LANIER. & YOUMANS, Proprietors. Temperance, VOL. 2. WAYCROSS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27. 1886. ct=> Southern Chill and Fever Remedy Valdosta* $4a. SASP, DOORS, BLINDS, Paints, Oils, Rruslies, Pure White Lead, And Colors, There being such a great demand for Fever remedies in this country, 1 have been making a special study >f the different remedies used in nalarial troubles ever since I have teen in the drug business. I dc- ermined last Fall upon putting up omc preparation that would cure [She majority of cases of Fever, Ague, ('hills, etc., and that would ake the place of a great number of Northern and Western Fever and Ague-remedies, believing that one living in this section is capable o preparing something that is better for the peculiar class of fever and. he debilitating condition of the system that prevails during the Summer months. I lfave far ex* 1 my expectations— Last Spring I began to manufacture JENNINGS’* FEVER TONIC' Since which time I have put uj and sold several thousand bottles. und IT HAS .NEVER FAILED TO CERE in a single instance. Meeting with this unprecedented success I feel pcrfeetlv safe in placing a GUARANTEE upon EVERY bot tle; so, when it is taken according to the directions and it does not ef fect a cure the money will be re- (funded. The regular practicing phvsi- inns of the country have exninin- 1 the formula of Jennings’ Fever onic, and pronounce it efficient j muL harmless. I place before the public only a jfew of the great number of unsolic ited certificates received in regard its cures. Sarah A.

I for a few minutes. It has a fasci- ter entered. On the other side Decaying Fvu its. It is a grief to go through our great fruit markets to see the enormous waste and think of the disappointed shippers, says the American Agriculturist. All over the country, people who send fruit to New York or oth r markets expects the top price. They often get a bill of expense. Why? The fruit was packed carelessly, biuised in the hand ling and packing, and worse than all. great quantities pack ed too ripe. Thousands of crates and baskets of peaches and pears, tens of thousands of crates of tomatoes, thousands of barrels of apples and melons are thrown away every year, and this year has Leen especially hard on fruits of all sorts. The moist weather has forced a suc culent growth, which is, perhaps the reason for the rapid decay. The lesson to be drawn from this state of things is, not to ship fully ripe fruit; to pack with great care, handling every article separately, even though they may be apparently hard. Time thus expended is money saved. Do not unjustly blame the commission merchant for what is vour fault. It matters not, if year after year vou have shipped in the same manner and received good returns. In some conditions of the market anything that is fruit will seli well. In times of abundance, the case is quite otherwise. The prime article sells at a fairly good price, while inferior goods rarely pay expenecs, and some times even net a loss. Mr. Beall 9 s Suicide. The suicide of James A. Beall, at Albany, Ga., Friday, has about it a tinge of pathetic sadness, despondency, as stated in the News dispatenes, over financial reverses prompted.the deed. Fri day afternoon Cnpt. Westbrook found in Mr. Beall’s pocket-book two careful folded sheets of letter paper upon which were written the following “memorandum,” which contains the last requests of the deceased, and which, so far as is known, is the only communica tion he left for his family or friend: memorandum. To a man of birth, education and refinement, three things are essential to happiness—health, wealth and pleasant domestic re lations. Any of these lacking, life is not worth living. To my true friend, “Lashe.” Meaning, Hon. A C. Westbrook of the room was Sum Small, writing at a table, his glasses slapped jauntily over his nose and his hair looking like a last year’s bird’s nest. He was puf fing vengefullv at a cigarette, which lie held in a meerschaum lioldci. This is the way Sam and Sam spend their mornings at the hotel, except that Mr. Jones generally gets a Bible af ter awhile and reads a chapter or two, which he and his co-la borer discuss. There is nothing striking in the personal appearance of* either of these men, who have made such wonderful reputa tions in the religious field. In act, they are both very much ike ordinary men, and would lever attract attention in a •rowcl or be looked at twice on the street. Sam Jones impress es you as a man of firm will and determination. He is continu ally closing his lips tightly, like x inan who is about to take a desperate jump. Some people say this is affectation, but if there is any affectation about Sam Jones, it is very inconsist ent with the rest of his charac ter. He is a t-elf-reliant man, of course, and he talks to you with confidence. But isn’t this nat ural, considering the remarkable success of the man? Sam Jones laughs a great deal. He laughs particularly loud when he says anything fun ny himself. And when hd laughs he makes you laugh, whether you see the point or not. This is because he laughs so much like he enjoyed it, and so much like he meant it. Sam Joiit-s is forever plauging Sam Small, and Sam Small never loses an opportunity to tell a joke on Sam Jones. And' then they both laugh like savages, and slap their knees, and tell it all over again. Mr. Small is a stubbonly hard worker, nervous and rest less in strength, and endowed with a mental capacity that never tires. He is a younger man than Jones, has a much better education and superior advantages in many respects. Sam Jones is a great lover of music and nature and eloquence. These things thrill him and stir him, and what he says about them is the struggle of strong impulses and natural emotions to assert themselves. Sam Small loves books—books of art, language and science.— He is an exhaustless reader and a faithful student. He spends much of his time over the Bible, and reads chapter upon chapter after Sam Jones is asleep. In short Sam Small makes his power, and Sam Jones found his already made. Sam Small is a student and Sam Jones is a genius.—Cin cinnati Times-Star. ! nation forme which I cannot shake. I was at the battle of Gettysburg myself, and an incident occured there which largely changed my viewe of the Southern people. I had been a most bitter anti-South- ern man, and fought and cursed them desperately. I could see nothing good in any of them. “The last day of the fignt I was badly wounded. A ball shattered my left leg. 1 lay on the ground not far from the Cemetery Ridge, and as Gen. Lee ordered his re treat he and his officers rode near me. As they came along I recog nized him. and though faint from exposure and losr of blood, 1 uised upon my hands, looked General Lee in the face and shout- loud aa 1 could ‘Hurrah for the Union!’ The General heard me, looked, stopped his horse, dis mounted and came toward me. I comess that I first thought he meant to kill me. But as he came up lie looked down at me with such a sad expression upon his face that all fear left me and I won* acred what, he was about. He ex tended his hand to m<$, and grasp ing mine firmly and looking right into my eyes., he said : “My son, I hope you will soon be well.” “If I live a thousand years I shall never forget the expression in Gen. Lee’s face. There ho was, defeated, retiring from a field that had cost him and his cause almost their last hope, and yet he stopped to say worcw'likc those to a wounded soldier of the opposi tion who had taunted him as he passed by. As soon as the Gener al had left me I cried myself to sleep upon the bloody ground. A Wife of the Right Stamp Wc met ’Squire W. Jl.

A. Beau. Paper Railroad Cars. ’ A technical journal on car building says: “We do not expect to sec passen ger or freight cars entirely of metab There are many cerious objections to mctalic siding, but paper in some of it forms, will doubtless be used instead, al though for many years wood, from its cheapness, will hold its own against any other substances. We do riot apprehend that there will be any considerable difficulty in covering cars, but so long as the wood is cheapest and sufficiently strong and durable to answer the purpose we must content our selves with speculation in regard to the future. When straw board can be obtained at anything like thc price of wood, the siding of passenger cars at least will l>e much better made of paper than of wood. The size of the sheets which is easily obtainable, and thc firmness with which* they can be fastened to the posts, are some of the advantages in its favor. We suppose, from what we have heard in regard to straw board and straw lumber, that in times a single paniel extending from the door around the corner and to the entire of the car, and reaching from the window sills to the botr tom, can be used to good advan tage. Such a canstruction would, of course, greatly increase the strength of the car, would lie en tirely free from splintering incase of collisions, and would show sev eral other material advantages.
