The cotton yards of our town pre sents a lively appearance, though we see but few country pconle in town except on Saturdays. The planters are very busy gathering their cotton and sending it to market. Dawson is, for the first time in years, getting all the cotton to -which she is legiti mately entitled. She has been so oppressed by railroad discrimination during the past few years as to be come almost 'paralyzed ; but now, that unjust oppression lias been re moved, is herself again. She is giv ing as much for cotton and selling goods as cheap ns any of her neigh bors, and is bound to do a lively busi ness. Judging from what we see at present, we think that some of our business houses will have to employ additional clerks before the season is over. When the farmers have gath ered and sold their cotton, paid their debts, and counted the money they have left, we predict that there will be such a rush of trade as -we have not had for years. Some of our wise merchants are preparing to take the \ tide at its flood, and, with proper enterprise, will surely be carried on to fortune. We would like to see a few large trading houses here such as we know of at situations not more favorable than this, and now is the time to com mence building them up. Which ones of our business houses will take the lead. We shall see. The County Olliees. It is only three months until the election for county officers takes place We notice that, in some of the counties a large number of candidates is announced. In our own county there seems to be but little interest taken in the matter.— We have lour candidates announced for Tax Receiver and Collector and hear other names mentioned occa sionally. All the county [offices are to be filled, in January, next, except that of Ordinary. We do not know whether the Dem ocratic Executive Committee will or der a nomination for these offices or not, — having heard nothing from them on the subject. A e are likely to have a very quiet race for Congress in this district.— Since Seward failed, after a fair trial, to get up any steam down in the lower end of the district, where there was supposed to be some dis satisfaction with the democratic nom inee, we presume that no one else will have the temerity to try the rad ical or independent track. The Grand Jury of Giiinnett conn ty claims that Emory Speer, the jn-- dependent candidate for Congress in that district mves’the county a few hun dred dollars, growing out of a former administration of the office of Solicitor General for the circuit, and have ordered their present Solicitor to take hold of the matter. During the month of Sept ember, just passed, we collected more money for subscription and entered a great er number of new subscribers on our books than we ever did tie fore in the same length of time. We are thank ful to those who have so promptly paid us, and ho >e all others who are due us will do likewise. N at Hammond, the deinoeniliecan , dididate for congress from the fifth district, made a s|teecli at Knoxville, < raw ford county,last week. Arnold, tin- greenback candidate, was present and tried to speak, but the people left flu* court-house and refused to hear him. Two men named Langley and Wright were recently arrested in Atlanta for stealing a steer in Gwinnett county, and the proprietor of the animal, who lives near Duluth, sent n Mr. L. B. Etcher son to Atlanta to take the prisoners to (Jwinnett county for trial. A special to the Constitution from Duluth says, under date of the 28th inst. ‘‘They left the city early this morn ing walking, the two prisoners tied to gether. This evening about three o’clock, when about half way between Norcross and Duluth, the two prisoners rushed on Eteherson, threw him down and tried to kill him. One of the pris oners had him by the throat and the other was trying to undo the rope.— Eteherson managed to get out his pis tol in the scuffle and fired, shooting Langley through the neck. Ho fired again in an instant, and the second ball entered Langley’s body under the right shoulder. Wright immediately desist ed and begged for his life A few minutes after the shooting a wagon came along and the wounded man was carried with the other prisoner to Dul uth. Dr. R. S. Adams was called to see Langley, and pronounced the wounds fatal. He will die without doubt, as he is bleeding internally, and the doc tor has been unable to find either ball. Eteherson was not to blame, for it was a life and death matter with him. Wright is still in the custody of the officers, and is secure.” Warrenton Clipper 20th.- “Mrs. Jabez Thomson, well known in Warren, is traveling from house to house warn ing the people against a universal scourge that is to come in twenty-eight days from last Monday. She claims to he inspired and says she has been hunting for five righteous men to make an ex curse for the Lord to pass the world by. The other day she said she receiv ed a message that if the five men can not he found to find that many women. She astonished one of our townsmen with whom she was stopping, when last Tuesday morning she came from her room with an open Bible in hand, and asserted that Solomon had just sent her a message to go forward. She said she must hunt up Rev. Thos. Philcher at once, and off she went Tuesday morn ing on foot to find and consult with him. She is a daughter of Rev. Rad ford Gunn, deceased, a Baptist minis ter of great natural abilities and of much prominence in this section.” Our yellow fever report of Satur day shows the disease generally on j the decline, though its ravages are still heavy. Reports to I)r Wood worth, Surgeon General of the Uni ted States Marine Hospital Service, I show the total cases and deaths up to \ Saturday night to be as follows: New' Orleans 8,404 oases, 2,700 deaths; South Pass 42 cases 2 deaths ; Mor gan City 145 cases 20 deaths; Baton Rouge 893 cases, 40 deaths, Plaque mine to the 15th inst 305 cases, 53 deaths; Biloxi 25 cases, Ocean Springs 00 cases, 17 deaths; Bay St. Lewis 78 eases 20 deaths; Mississippi City 8 cases, 1 death; Water Valley, Miss., 21 cases, 7 deaths; Vicksburg total deaths, 779 ; Greenville 227 deaths 779: Port Gibson 620 cases, 110death#; Memphis 2,428 deaths; Brownesville, Tenn., 19T eases, 60 deaths ; Cairo 140 cases, Louisville, Ivy., 95 cases 36 deaths, Gallipolis 31 cases, 17 deaths, Chattanooga 41 ca ses 26 deaths; Mobile 11 cases 7 deaths. —Savannah News. The jealous wife of a Cincinnati shoe maker admitted that it was necessary for him to put on women the new shoes that they bought, but she objected to his performing that service in the case of old and consequently easy shoes. A young woman went into his shop to have her shoe mended while she wait ed. When it was finished she placed her foot in his lap to have it put on and buttoned. While he was absorbed in this his wife came to the door, and the scene aroused her ' 'Mousy. She went out and got a clothe* 'me, doub led it to convenient length, ea. back, and remarking that she had been carri ed to him fifteen years, and he had nev er offered to put on her shoes, she gave him a lashing with the rope in the pres ence of the innocent customer. A well-known cotton merchant of Augusta a few days ago inadvertently put a lighted cigar in his coat tail pock et along with his handkerchief. In a few minutes he thought he smelt some thing like old rags burning and began a search for the fire. Not being able tc discover it ht abandoned the search and sat down. He had hardly touched the seat, however, when lie suddenly (we let the A 'ews tell the rest) “clapped both hands to the region of his hip pocket and fetched a yell like a Com anche Indian. After dancing around a little he thrust his hand into his pocket for his handkerchief, but brought it out with another yell. Fortunately the re mains of the handkerchief came—with it also about half of the cigar, which was still smouldering.” O From Wade Hampton’s Last Speech: I was told the other day by a distin guished clergyman that he had had a discussion with one of his old colored friends, and had asked him, among oth er things, why he was not a democrat. The old man said that he had been taught that it was contrary to the teachings of the Bible. The clergyman wonderingly asked where that doctrine could be found, and the old man repli ed that as the good book only spoke of two political parties—the ’publicans and the sinners—he thought lie must choose between them, and be either a ’publican or a sinner, which was the Bible name for a democrat. The old man had evidently never observed how many of his party were both ’publicans and sinners. We leant from a complimentary tick et kindly sent us on Tuesday last, that the Americas fair will begin on next Tuesday, the Btb instant, and continue four days. Yellow Fever. Chattanooga, October 1. Two deaths from the fever in the past 24 hours and no new cases. The citizen’s relief committee publish a card saying the funds and supplies on hand are amply sufficient for all immediate needs. Southwest Pass, October I.—One death and one new case to-day at Pilot town. Baton Rogue, October I.—Eigh ty-eight cases and two deaths reported. Port (iißsox, October I.—The epi demic has generally abated, but is spreading to an' alarming extent in the country and forcing refugees back to town. Six hundred cases are here. The remaining population is sev en hundred. Deaths one hundred and sexteen. New Orleans, October I. The Howards refuse to furnish aid through other associations and reiterate their former statement that they have suffi cient funds to meet every demand upon them for relief of tho destitute sick. Daldonega Signal: In the early part of last week two United States deputy marshals, Henry Robinson and Tom Smith, were sent to execute a warrant against an old gentleman by the name of Long, residing in Fannin county, whom they arrested and were on their way back to Dahlonega when the sons of the prisoner confronted them in the public road, and, with leveled guns, commanded the officers to “stop right tliar” and release their man. Messrs. Smith and Robinson seeing that the parties who emerged suddenly from the woods had the “drop” on them, deliv ered up their man as the only alterna tive, when they proceeded on their way without further molestation.

Soon after ward the jailer heard their voices.— Peeping into the cell, he saw both on their knees. “O Lord, please let us out of this place, and we’ll never do it again, never, never,” prayed one sob bing culprit, while the other was repeat- ! ing the Lord’s prayer. “Pray harder,” I said one of them, “and speak your words plain, or the Lord won’t understand you.” “1 try to Jimmy, but I’m cry ing so I can’t, said the other, and then . both redoubled their prayers. The jail er let them out. — One of our merchants told us Thurs day morning that he sold $125 worth of goods to a gentleman from Dooly | county, on Wednesday last, who had \ never traded in Americas before. He stated to the merchant that he was induced to come to Americus from seeing his advertisement in the Sumter 1 Republican. This shows whether ad- I vertising does any good. The mer chant made us a handsome present.— Sumter Republican. Anew story “Azalia,” writen by Mrs. M. E Morrison, is now being published in the Savannah Weekly Acti’s. Tne JV "ews is the largest [ta per published in the south, and we commend it to the patronage of our readers. Several over confident physicians have gone to New Orleans with what they thought a sure cure for yellow fever, discovered by themselves In every instance of the kind that we have noticed they have taken the fe ver and died, promptly. A Virginia woman offers to sell her husband by auction, and apply the proceeds to the liquidation of the State debt. “I ean recommend him to pur chasers,” she adds, “as a man possess ing all the qualities a woman capable of controlling him could desire.” ♦ The Howard Association, Citizens Relief Committee, and Mayor of Memphis announce to the world that they need no more contributions for the relief of fever sufferers. They say that they have enough to carry them through the epidemic and some to spare for other places. A fire in liainbridge, last Friday night, destroyed the business houses on one side of the square. Loss sev eral thousand dollars. Supposed to be the work of a negrowho has been arrested and jailed. — Extra Liability to Malarial In fections. Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak and liver sluggish, are eura liable to the attacks of malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may, under such condition infect a system which, if healthy, would re sist the maUsmatic taint. The only way to secure immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevailent, is to tone and iegu late the system by improving weakened di gestion, ecritchicg Ibe blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliarv secretion.— These results are accomplish by nothing so effectively as Hostetler's Stoniac Bitte-s, which long experience has proved to be the most reliable safeguird against (ever and ague at.d kindred disorders, as well as the best remedy for them. The Bitters are, moreover, an eqceleot iuvigorant of the or gans of urinantion, and an active deparent elimination from the blood those acred im-. puiities which originates iheumatic ail ments. Dr. Carver, the noted marksman, will be at the state fair at Macon and give an exhibition of bis skill with tho rifle. The yellow fever is abating in the cities, but spreading in the surround ing country. THE GENUINE DR. C. McLANE’S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and leaden colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eve-lid ; the nose is ir ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds; a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stom ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and vomiting; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels ir regular, at times costive; stools slimy; not unfrequently tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard; urine turbid; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive ; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth ; temper variable, but gener ally irritable, &c.

McLANE’S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy “for all the ills that flesh is heir to,” but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. Asa simple purgative they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C.
