Yellow Fever Report.
Jacksonville, August 22.—There
have been nine new cases of yellow fe
ver during the last twenty-four hours,
four firemen being among the new ca
ses. There have been no deaths for
thirty-six hours and none of the pa
tients now under treatment are report
ed dangerously ill. Six of the eight
deaths which have occurred were of
persons addicted to the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors, and the other
two were already in poor health from
other diseases when attacked by the fe
ver. All cases are now promptly isola
ted, and sanitation and disinfection
carefully looked after, ltisintemled to
keep up the light against the epidemic
with every means known to science. A
thousand pounds of bi-chloride of mer
cury lias been received from Philadel
phia. This, with other disinfectants,
will be used on the streets, in houses,
etc. The citizens’ committee on sanita
tion is going over the city a second time
with several hundred scavengers.
There are now about four centres of
infection, the greater part of the city
being apparently free from infection.
The atmosphere seems to be purer than
ever before.
While the increase of new cases nat
urally makes the people nervous, it was
expected by the authorities, who have
not by any means given up the hope of
controlling the disease or materially
checking its ravages. Indeed, confi
dence is rather on the increase. It lias
been recommended that surveillance
be maintained over travel from the
eoutli to intercept persons from infec
ted parts, and the board of health has
taken action accordingly. It is not be
lieved that there have as yet been any
cases of yellow fever at any point in
Florida except this city, Manatee,
Plant City, and Tampa, which last
place is now reported free from the dis
ease.

FOR TREASURER.
I am a candidate for the office of Treasurer
of Coweta county, eubject to the action of the
Democratic party. In making this announce
ment 1 wish to state to my fellow-citizens
that in 1887 my crop was ruined by the over
flow of the river, and this year the hail
storm has destroyed a large part of my cotton
crop. I am sixty-five years of age and too
infirm to repair my loss by manual labor, and
ask for the office of Treasurer to relieve me
of the financial embarrassment consequent
upon the disasters which befel my crops this
and last year. G. H, SANDERS.

Columbus and Her Exposition-
October 4th, 1888, will be a day of
wonderful note to the people of the
Chattahoochee Valley. Thousands are
looking forward to the pleasure of a
visit to the Lowell of the South, and
the enjoyment and instruction that will
be offered within the gates of the Expo
sition Park. The premiums and purses
are remarkably liberal, aggregating
$15,000, and so divided that the compe
tition will be interesting and attrac
tive, both to the exhibitor and to the
visitor. Months of elaborate.and cost
ly preparation have resulted in the nn-
est grounds and the best group of
buildings for Exposition purposes ever
seen in this section, and. the business
men of Columbus are giving their time
and energy to the success of the enter
prise. The entries already received
from the leading counties of Georgia
and Alabama promise a magnificent
display of agricultural products.
The Lowell of the South, with her
manufactures, and the Pittsburgh of
the South, with her ores, will equally
interest the student of the New South.
The citrus fruits of Florida will serve
as a foil for the coal and iron of North
Alabama, and the Art Exhibition will
contain paintings of national reputa-
The uiagnilicent group of exhibits
will be fully equalled by an unpara-
_ lleled list of amusements. An lnter-
J state military encampment and drill, in
HM which the best Southern Companies are
w already entered, will occur on the first
» two days of the Exposition. The fast
est horses in the country will be seen
■ on the Columbus track, pronounced by
everv one the finest in the South. Mus
ic of the highest order has been engag
ed. Elaborate programmes for Shot
gun, Bicycle and Tilting contests have
been arranged. The largest balloon in
the country will make ascensions, to
gether with thrilling parachute jumps,
and the displays of tire-works will be a
revelation. From the opening daj,
when the parade will be reviewed by
the Governors of Georgia, Alabama and
Florida, to the closing, each day s pro
gramme will be replete with, all that
goes to make up a great Exposition.
For some time past he has been watch
ing the pears on a favorite tree at Oak
View approaching their fruition of
ripeness, and his soul has been cheered
and his mouth watered by the vision of
the golden glories rising upon his sight.
For days the sun had come and kissed
the luscious pears, and every kiss had
brought a brighter flush, and left a rip
er sweetness to the fruit | but hope is
dead to-day, and bitter disappointment
has touched its cup to Mr. Cleveland’s
lips. The godless vandal came between
two days, and in the dark night watch
he stripped the tree and didn’t leave a
smell. It is such grief as this that
makes the iron enter a President’s soul
and transforms him into a private citi
zen with a club seeking the son of a gun
that stole “them pears.”
Governor Gordon has ordered that
two and six one-tenths of one per cent
be assessed and collected upon all tax
able property in the State. In addition
to this the Governor has ordered that
an extra tax of sixty-five one-hun
dredths of one per cent be assessed and
collected upon the property ret urned
by each tax-payer. In addition to this
an extra per cent of thirty-one one-
dredths of one per cent shall be collec
ted on the property of each tax-payer,
the whole making three and fifty-six
one-hundredths of one per cent, for all
purposes, for the year 1888.
Macon Telegraph: “The Mills bill,
as it passed the House, makes a reduc
tion on dutiable goods of §30,832,791.
It adds to the free list articles which
now yield a revenue of §18,728,845, mak
ing a*total tariff reduction of $50,591,-
62(5. Under the existing tariff the av
erage rate on dutiable imports is 47.10
per cent. The average rate on the
same goods under the Mills bill is 42.49
per cent. And yet the Republican or
gans have the audacity to refer to this
as ‘free trade.’ ”

erected in the large cit

A Remarkable Showing For B. B.
Against Other Remedies
Putnam Co., April 29,1SS7.
I have been suffering for most thirty
years with an itching and burning all
over my face and body. 1 took eigh
teen bottles of one blood medicine and
it did me no good. I commenced last
January to use B. R. B., %nd after us
ing live" bottles I felt better and stout
er" than 1 have in thirty years; my
health is better and I weigh more than
I ever did. The itching is nearly ceas
ed, and I am confident that a few more
bottles of B. B. B. will cure me entire
ly. I am sixty-two years old and can
liow do a good day’s work in my Held.
1 consider it the best medicine I have
ever seen, for it certainly did me more
good than all the medicine I have ever
taken. 1 had, in all, nearly a hundred
