Boys, Stand Back.
Selfishness is always seen where a
crowd congregates. The Post office
window, about mail time, affords a
striking illustration of this fact. In*
stead ot waiting quietly until then
mail is passed to them, everybody
crowds around the window, exclud
ing air and light, and delaying the
Postmaster in his work. Bill Bal
dwin is one of the best P. M s. in the
country, and the people should show
some consideration for him this warm
weather. Stand back from the win
dow, boys.
A Liberal Contribution.
Mr. T. J. Hart, proprietor of the
Dawson Carriage Works, on yester
day handed us $22 00 with the re
quest that it be sent to the yellow
fever sufferers at Memphis, Tenn.
This contribution is made by Mr. 11.
and bis employees. The funds will
be forwarded by express to-day.
Such liberality speaks well for Mr.
Hart and his employees and deserves
imitation. Who will do likewise ?

For Tax Collector and Receiver.
Mr. E. B. Loyless announces him
self in this issue as a candidate for
Tax Collector and Receiver, subject
to the action of a democractic nomi
nating convention if one is called.
Mr. Loyless is well known to all the
citizens of the county as a worthy,
capable and upright man, and, if
chosen by the people, he will make
a faithful and efficient officer.
Calhoun Superior Court.
We went down to Morgan last
Monday to be in attendance upon the
Fall term of Calhoun Superior Court
and to collect a few dollars due the
Journal by some of its subscribers in
that county. We had a long weari
some ride, and on arriving learned
that, owing to sickness and other
causes, Court had been adjourmd to
the first Monday in next December.
Judge J. J Beck is our agent at
Morgan, and we hope those who
are due the Journal will call on him
and settle.

Meeting of the Agricultural So
ciety.
The Terrell County Agricultural
Society met in regular session at the
Court-house on Saturday las'. Dr. C.
R. Moore was in the chair and C. A >
McDonald acted as secretary. After
the adoption of the minutes of the
previous meeting the regular order
of business was suspended to hear re
ports from committees appointed to
make arrangements for the fair. Mr.
H. S. Bell, the committee to secure a
band of music for the occas on, report
ed that he had heard from only one
place (Albany) and that the Band
there declined to come on account of
business engagements. The Society
then adjourned till 2 o’clock, at
which hour, Dr. J. R. Janes took the
Cos air. None of the committees
being prepared to make reports, it
was decided that, owing to the indif-
ference of the people in
the matter, it would be inexpedient
to hold a fair this fall.
The Society then adjourned to
meet on the first Saturday in Octo
ber next at 10_ o’clock a. m,

Relief tor tlie Sufferers.
Our city authorities, on last Mini
day night, considered the question of
raising funds for the relief of the
Yellow Fever sufferers in the West,
and decided 'hat our little city ought
to do something in the humane cause.
They accordingly appointed a com
mittee of eight to canvass the city
and solicit contribut ions for said cause.
This is truly a noble act on the part
of the city authorities. Not only is
the act of the city council noble in
itself, but the manner in which they
propose to collect the funds is a wise
one. In this way all of our people
may be approached, and be interested
without regard to cast or sect. Ibis
is a subject in which all our citizens
should feel interested. It isoiie which
commends itself to the humane feel
ings of man as well as to ids relig
ious sympathies. Let all our people
come up and respond cheerfully and
liberally as they are able, to this call
for relief. Hundreds of thousands ol
dollars have been contributed
throughout the country both North
and South, but the cry is for more,
for the suffering is great, indescriba
ble. Let each one feel called upon,
and come forward without waiting
for the committee to call on h'm, and
contribute his sum, whether mall or
large, to the noble | urpose.
And let it be understood that this
call is not made upon the cibzens of
the town exclusively, but upon those
of the country around as well, upon
all lovers of humanity. Let our
friends from the country leave a con-,
tnbution to help the sufferers. Provi-,
dence has smiled on us this year. V' e
are healthy, business is going on, we
ought to show our appreciation of
these benefit by helping those who
are in such great distress. Come,
friends, whether in the town or coun
try, and thiow your gift into this
treasury of humanity, cot to say
Christianity. Help, help the sufferers !
“As ye would that men should do to
you, do ye also to them likewise.”
The names of the committee are, J. G.
Parks, S. R. Christie. Mrs. C. A.
Cheatham, Mrs. T. J. Hart, Mrs.
Judge Rogers, Mrs. R. F. Simmons,
Miss. Fannie Loyless and Miss Lizzie
Anthony for the whites, and Rev. Mr.
Gaines aud Rev. Mr. Walker, for the
colored.
An Elegant Box.
On yesterday one of the busiuess
men of our city placed a contribution
box in front of his store, with these
wuids placarded above; ‘‘Drop in a
dime or a nickle for the yellow fever
sufferers.” Anoth-T one of the bus
iness men of the town passing, saw
the bos, aud thinking this a slow way
to help the suffeiers, went to
his place of business and among his
employees, raised, in a few moments,
the handsome little muuj of twenty
two dollars. That was an elegant
box. Will not someone put up an
other little dime or nickel box. Who
will follow the example of the gentle
man who was moved by the silent lit
tle box to do so clever a thing ! Let
him come forward and add his twenty
two to the amount already on hand.
Who w ill be the next ? Where is the
comiuitte appointed by the city coun
cil last Monday night ? Gome friends
let us bestir ourselves in behalt of the
helpless.
The Stepping Stone to Health.
The acquisition of vital energy is the step
ping stone to health. Wheu tie system
lacks vitality, the vaiious organs flag in
their duty, become chronically irregular, and
disease is eventually • instituted- To pre
vent this unhappy stale of things, the debili
tated system should be built up by the use
of that inimitable tonic, Hoatetter's Stom
ach Sitters which invigorates the digestive
organs, aud insures the thi rough conversion
of food into blood ot a nourishing quality,
from whence every muscle, uerve ana fiber
acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, aud the
whole sy-tem experiences the beneficial ef
fect. Appetite returns, the system is refresh
ed by healthful slumber, the nerves grow
strong and claim, tke despondency begot
ten of chronic indigestion and an uncertain
state of health disappears, and that sallow
appearance of the skin peculiar to habitual
iuvalids, and persons deficient in vital ener
gy, is replaced by a more becosriug tinge.
Liver is King.
The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,
health and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailmeus are the natural result. The diges
tion of food, the movements of the heart and
blood, the aeiiou of the brain and nervous
system, are all immediately connected with
the workings of the Liver, It has been sue
cesslu.lv proved that Green’s August Flower
is unequalled in curing all persons allLcled
with IHspepsia or Liver Complaint, and all
the numerous symptoms that result from au
unhealthy condition of the Liver and Stom
ach. Sample bottles to try. Id cents. Posi
tively sold in ail towns on the Western Con
tinent. Three doses will prove that it is just
what you want.
