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 ? New Goods ! New Goods J. 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. n 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, i— • w 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. IF The Woman who rejoices in salad and ice cream, Out cakes and warm pie; IF The Student who eats hastily and sits down at once to active mental labor ; IF The Business Man who bolts his food iu eag- r haste and hurries to his counting-room ; IF The turd Drinker cou’d lock at the deliea e glands, swollen and festered with dbease, that cause the '.blobbing braiu; IF The Lawer, the Minister, the Mer chant, end all who lead sedentary lives and are subject to DUpepsia or Indigestion,Constipation and Head ache : IF These only knew what Mbsukli’s H epf.tine fob the Livek will do for their relief, and how quickly it cures —there would be much less suffering than at present- The great Liver Med tines far eale by Dr. J.
