and some of them afforded tempo
relief, but it was only temporary, mid I
began to despair of finding a cure. I
had heard several gentlemen speak of
Rheumatism cure manufactured
at Waycross, and while I listened, I
doubted. Finally, I met two or three
parties who had tried^ this new medi-
! and had been cured, and I decided
that I had been benefitted. Well to
make a long story short, I continued to
Uikc the medicine until I had used
three and a half quart bottles, improv
ing all the while in my general health,
and noticing a steady decrease in the
Rheumatism. When the half of the
fourth quart was finished, I felt as well
ns I ever did in my life, with only an
occasional touch of Rheumatism, and
since taking the first quart I have been
able to attend to my duties in the office,
not having lost a moment since on ac
count of my former enemy.
I shall taice two or three quarts more
from the time
am confident that the last"vestige of
the dreadful malady will be driven from
I do not say that P. P. P. wrought
this wonderful cure, but I do assert
most emphatically, that I derived no
permanent relief until after I took the
first bottle. Yours trulv,

Dr. Whitehead : In the year 1878 I
was attacked with a severe case of
Blood Boison that defied all treatment.
I went to several Physicians but found
no relief. Finally I went before a board
of Physicians at Tallahassee and w
examined and my case was declared to
be a virulent case of Blood Poison, and
all the medicines they gave me failed
to eradicate the dreaded disease and
my life was in danger. I lost the use
of my left arm and a physician at this
place said rav arm would have to be
amputated. The corruption that came
from the various sores was so offensive
that I disliked to come in contact with
-friends and neighbors. I toon 32 bot
tles of an Atlanta Blood Purifier, also
a lot made in Baltimore, and in fact
everything that I could hear of but re
ceived no benefit. I had entirely de-
came here advertising the
P. P. P. (Prickly-ash, Poke-root and

and one and a half small ones, ami the
various sores have healed entirely and
the new skin has a clear, healthy color,
and my general health is better than it
has been before in ten T :J

A BEAR HUNT.

pervious. Mr. Ilickox was cutting
some timber in the swamp when
his dogs “treed” a bear up a tree,
but being armed with a shot gun
loaded with bird shot, the animal
^ot away. With spine friends the
hunt was renewed the next mo v n-
when the hear was found and
killed. He weighed 450 or 500
pounds.

ROBBING THEIR EMPLOYER.
Two young men, William and
James Dent, of Coffee county, who
were charged with taking goods
from Seward Lott’s store, in Irwin
county, were sent to Albany jail
for safe keeping. Mr. Lott had these
young men in his employ—work
ing on his place—and had been
missing articles from his store
about five weeks. Suspicion resting
upon these young men, he procured
a key to tiieir trunks, and during
their absence made the search. He
found two pair of boots, twelve
pocket knives, six suits of clothes
and a lot of jewels, amounting in
all to about $95. The entrance
into the store was made through a
window.

colored boys twelve or fourteen | we can depend upon to build up

powder, they loaded thcr guns with
powder and got to bantering and
pointing their guns at each other.
TheJjalance oft he story is soon
told. Standing a few paces apart,
the boys fired at each other. Lloyd
had forgotten to take his ramrod
out, and it struck Willie in the
forehead, passing on through one
of his eyes, destroying the eye and
passing on through one side of the
skull and coming out just below
the ear. Dr. Strother was called to
attend the wounded boy, and pro

though not necessarily fatal. Sher

The post office at Fernandiua

The Buaswiek Breeze does not
appear to be on amiable terms with

Our dandy mayor and council

and sentence us on the chain gang
for thirty day—because we know
too much—but as they cannot do
this the next best thing to do is to
bring a libel suit again, t the Bret z:
and give us an opportunity to
prove, before a court and jury what
we assert. We shan’t even
employ a lawyer but will argue the
case ourself and when we sum up
the evidence before the jury \ve
will make the heads of our dandy
I Mayor and Council swim.

when the facts, «s they exist, are

ance Company (or Association)
was arrested in Abbeville Ga., last
week by the Sheriff of Wilcox coun
ty, and whs brought to Hawkins
ville, It seems that the company
is doing buisne83 in Georgia with
out authority of law. The agent
who was arrested had been insur
ing the lives of a persons in
Pulaski and Willcox counties
during the lost Jew weeks, and
for warding the names to the com
pany’s office jn Nashvile, Tenn,
The lives of the parties were insur
ed without any examination of
the applicant by a physican, as re
quired by all life insurance com
panies of and standing. Policies
wertf issued to Rev. Thomas J.
Adams and wife in this county,
and they paid assessments amount
ing to $15 or $26. A short time
ago the ugent insured one old lady
who, it is reported, was nearly
dead, and a tew weeks ago she
died. Iler people called upon the
agent for the amount of her policy,
but it i& not likely they will get
enough to cover the burial expenses,
In fact, the Standand Life Associa
tion appears to be a curious
affair, and its policies and obliga
tions are such that a person would
have to die five or six times to
beat it out-of $100.
