This famous remedy most happily meets the
demand «*r the age for women’s peculiar and
multiform atttlcttons. It is a remedy for
WOMAN ONLY, au:l for one SPECIAL

certain diseased conditions of the womb, and
proposes to so control the Menstrual Function
as to regulate all the derangements and irreg
ularities of Woman’s

Its proprietors claim for it no other medical
property; and to doubt the fact that this med

A Colored School Harm Who Use*
the Hickory-
Last Saturday Sallie Bank, a good-
looking mulatto girlwho teaches school
on the Sheppard place, was arrested up
on a warrant in which she was charged
with assault and battery. It seems that
Sallie had been “wearing out” one of
her pupils, and the chastisement was so
severe that the child’s fatberswore out
the warrant for her arrest. Sallie and
the injured child’s father were brought
together by Prof. Green, of the colored
Academy of this city, Saturrday after
noon, and the case was settled upon the

East Dougherty.
It is conceded that the oak and hick
ory lands of West Dougherty are far
more valuable and productive than the
pine lands. Yet the prosperous and
money-making termers of the county,
in East Dougherty, outnumber those
of the oak and hickory lands. There
are doubtless some of the best farmers
in the State to be found in tbe latter
sectfon.of. tbe county, yet; as before
stated, they are not so numer
ous as,in the former section. Why?
Because the East Dougherty farmers,
as a rule, do not cultivate as exten
sively as the oak land farmers; they do
not bay so much guano; they raise
thieir provisions at home, and hence are
independent. Their cotton is a sur
plus crop, and they' generally have a
surplus of money on band'after paying
off the expense of raising a crop.

Crop Outlook.
We cannot tell much about the crop
outlook yet. Many things have con
spired to render the outlook-so far un
promising. The winter has been se
vere, tbe spring backward and late,
and the continued Tains have baked tbe
lands prepared. The weather has been
severe on corn, unpromising for cotton,
and disastrous for good stands of
melons.
It is too early, however, to for many
conclusions. Under favorable condi
tions from now on the change may be
wonderful. Sometimes bad beginnings
have good endings.
The area in melons in Southern
Georgia will be probably greater than
last year. Tbe melon crop is one of
chance. A cholera panic or cold
weather in the north and west will de
stroy its value. The freights are enor
mous, and many of the dealers treach
erous.
But let us hope for the best. The
clouds overcasting the sky at present
may soon break away and reveal tbe
sun shining iu brighter splendor than
ever. •
The Boston Star Concert Co.’s per
formance at Willingham’s Hall on Tues
day night was all that had* been prom

entertainment we have had in Albany
for some time, and surpassed anything
else we have ever had here In1
of a concert. The hall was pretty well
filled, and It may be said that the au
dience was rather a select one. It was
high-priced show, and the rabble
didu’t take to it much. Xbe perfor
mance was highly Appreciated by the
select audience present.
The News and Advertiser doesn’t

of Capt. W’s. .abbages was missing.
Henry Oliver, colore 1, keeps a little
store out on Washington street near

about the missing cabbages found
some cabbage at Henry’s store and
reported the fact. This cine was fol- _ .

semblance to those in the other barrel
consigned to Capt. Weston. They
were different from any other cab
bages in the market, and it was at
once apparent that they were the very
cabbages that bad been stolen from the
car.
Henry said, when asked where he
obtained tbe cabbages, that he bought
them from a sleeping car porter. He
couldn’t give the porter's name, but
said he knew him and would “get

It Is bnt natural that the denizens of

yield to the insidious influences of
nature; and in sympathy with all the
rest of animate creation, long for a
day’s recreation, in the forest, tbe
field, or shady glen, w here away from
the busy haunts of men, one may, for
a season, bold sweet communion with
nature and nature’s God.
The above, as the reader has read it,
has a history. It is based upon the
fact that a party of ladies, composing
members of the families of Col. and Mr.
Nelson Tift and Col. T. H. Willing,
ham went out Thursday morning to
the Blue Spring for a family picnic. A.
member of the staffx>f the News and
Advertiser, who, as is well-known,
has an eye for the beautiful, wrote
it and laid upon the editorial table and
walked away with the air of a man
who had done enough for one day’s
.task. We pass in silence all that part
which so touchingly "speaks of “song-
birtls” aud “forests trees” and “balmy
air” and “limpid rivulets,” but our
sense of humor absolutely overcame

with nature and nature’s God.

W«r)h County—Her People and
Her Resource*.
Onr sister county of Worth is one of
the most prosperous counties in South
western Georgiy.* Her population is
white by a large ranjqrity. There are
a few large plantations in tbe county,
but the great preponderance of her
citizens are small iarraers, employing
from two to six males. One of the
leading characteristic^ of the Worth
termer is his aversion to incurring
debt.
He as a rule is self-sustaining, raises
his own corn and meat, and pays cash
for what he buys. Worth is also a good
stock county, aud sells large quantities
of wool and beef cattle annually, from
which she realizes large returns. Her
vast pine forests have attracted the at
tention of lumber men and turpentine
distillers, from which sources she de
rives a farther Jteavy revenue.
The trade of the county is desirable
in every way, and onr>Mban^ mer
chants appreciate 'it, and offer every
inducement in their power to secure
and retain it. If all the counties in
our section would emulate the exam
ple of Worth in industry, economy,
avoidance of debt, and personal super
vision of their farming interests, pros
perity would soon -be snatched from
the chasm of debt and ojir section
would again become the most prosper
ous section of the State.

We have no doubt that it was a very
interesting event. Bnt onr interest in
it was not so engaging, as we did not
get onr notice of it until late In the
afternoon. A post-prandial notice
does not excite those pleasurable emo
tions, nor spread out such a prospect
before the imagination as that which
precedes the feast. Indeed, such a
notice gives you a sort ot gone feeling,
and you Imagine yourself tbe counter
part of him who treads alone some
bouquet hall deserted, whose lights
are fled, whose gariauds dead, and all
“Nick” is fond of perpetrating a
practical joke on his friends, and must
be kin to Zeb Vance. Vance declares
that to the victor belongs “the spoils,
and be who sends in-notice of his feast
after the feast is over is a victor in
the scramble for “spoils.”
But let us be understood in this com
parison. We do not throw out the
suggestion that Nick had “tainted”
meat for his dinner. ?On the contrary,
If there was any “spiling” it was Nick

the plasure-seehing couple beat high
and warm io the enjoyment of the de
lights of tbe drive.
But the path of tbe pleasure-seeker,
like that of the lover, is not always
covered with flowers. So our friends
soon found themselves on the brink of
trouble. Iu the course of the drive
they had come to Jones’s creek,
near Mr. Addie Lippitt’s plan
tation. Tbe stream was swollen, and
although there was a bridge over tbe
creek at this point, they decided
would be safe to cross at tbe ford, a
short distance below.
But jhey miscalculated the depth of
the water, as they soon discovered they
were in swimming water. The water
covered the buggy-seat. The young
lady, in her alarm,' seized the young
man around his waist to secure strong
support. With heroic presence of mind
the gallant dropped the lines and
caught her in his arms. The sagacious
horse, unmindful of the scene in the
buggy, soon reached dry laud, and
the twain discovered that neither had
been washed from the boggy.
In excellent good humor, however,
they drove up to the house of a friend,
some mile up the creek, and dried their
saturated apparel.
Profiting by experience, tlie two
young people bethought themselves to
take another route homeward, where
the ford was much shallower. Beach
ing the creek, they bravely drove In.
But this ford was more Ueacberous
than the other. They found the twelves
in deep water. They—well,we will not
tell how they acted, but when they
reached the home of that pretty coun
try maiden each was as wet as a
drowned rat. All the starch was taken
out of “the society young man’s” pet
phrases, and be was as badly wilted
mentally as were the frills and flounces
of the pretty maiden *s_dres8.
The Albany young man declares
Worth is not a “dry” county, while
the young lady says-Albany young
men should avoid temptation; look be
fore they leap, and not plunge a wo
man into the very depths—of deep
water.

The Religion* meeting*.
The meetings, which have beeu pro
tracted for several weeks, closed on
Sunday night. There was a large con
gregation at the Baptist church to wit
ness the ordinance of baptism. The
church was beautifully decorated with
baskets of flowers. These meetings
have been productive of much good.
Not only have many been added to the
church, but the old members have
been revived and given new life and
fresh impulse.
Albany has the reputation of being
not much of a church-going place, but
these meetings have certainly been
largely attended.
They began iu the Presbyterian
church under Dr. Burkhead, and were
continued in the Methodist church,
aud then further protracted In the
Baptist church.
The meetings were remarkable for
want of excitement, and for that reason
will be more lasting in their impress
and results. Tbe human soul is at last
the great battle-field, and he that con
quers himself is greater than be that
taketh a city.
In closing our notices about these
meetings, we will do so by reproduc
ing a few thoughts from Dr.. Haw*-
thorne’s latest sermon. He *ays:
“Conviction of sin is not n<*ces*a-
rtiy attended by signs and wonders, as
with Paul. God is not now working
such signs.
“You most simply realize that your
life and character are defective when
compared to the divine standard of
love; that you are wrong from tlie
center out; that you fulfill not the
law ; that you are without that passion
that lifts tbe soul into harmony with
God and makes sweet all the ways of
life. Then are you convicted of sin.
Such conviction precedes conversion.
Conversion is simply changing the
way of life—turning from the false to
the true, from wrong to right, from
self to God. It Is living a life of love
to God and devotion to your fellow-
men—trying to live as Jesus lived,
going about doing good. When you

The Iron Egg,
lu tlie museum at Berlin is an iron
egg, of which the following beautiful
story Is told:
Many years ago a prince became affi
anced to a lovely princess, to'whom be
promised to send a magnificent gift as
a testimonial of his affection, lu dne
time the messenger arived bringing the
promised gift, which proved to be an
Iron egg. The princess was s* angry to
think that the prince should send her
so valueless a present that she threw It
upon the floor, when tlie Iron egg
opeued, disclosing a silver lining. Sur
prised at such a discovery, she took tbe
egg in her hand, and while examining
it dosely.discoveretl a secret spring,
which she touched aud tlie silver lining
opeued, disclosing a golden yolk. Ex
amining it carefully, she found another
spring which when opeued, disclosed
within the golden yolk a ruby crown.
Subjecting that to an examination, she
touched a spring, and forth came the
diamond ring with which he affianced
her to himself. So often come tlie rich
est gifts of Gcd to us. Their outward
seeming Is as unattractive as the Iron
egg. But within the seem ing repulsive
ness lies hidden the silver fining of a
Divine love. Within that love lies hid
den the golden treasures of the gospel.
Within that still liea hidden the crown
of life. (“Be thou faithful unto death,

The Georgia Delegation
The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Traveler has this to say of
the Georgia delegation in Congress:
Georgte has a number of strong men
iu the House. Turner, oue of the
ablest lawyers upon the floor, heads the
list. He is a tell, dark-complexioned
man, witli a closely-clipped black beard.
His hair is jet black, that is to say,
what there is of it. Turner is chairman
of tlie Elections Committee, and he is
one of the best speakers in the House.
Blount of the same State is another able
man. He Is what is kno wu as a “cheese
parer.” As a rule he does not care for
anything which does not involve the
expenditure of money Unless some
thing before the House w:;ich affects his
particular State, Blount does not care to
take a hand outside of an appropriation
bill, but be loves to make trouble for
everybody who is trying to increase tlie
expenditures of the government. Crisp
of Georgia Is one of Speaker Carlisle’s
most intimate friends. If the Speaker
is absenta day Crisp is a] wavs designat
ed to act in Ids place. Last session
Wellborn, of Texas, was Carlisle’s pet.
Wellborn began to grow so large that
towards the close he actually thought
that he was “a bigger man than old
man Carlisle.” Tim year Carlisle has
done his best to warp Wellborn’s esti
mation of himself, and so far has practi
cally left him out In tlie cold. Crisp Is
the favorite this year, and he makes a
very good presiding officer of the House.
He Is well Informe<», fair, impartial,
and gives general satisfaction, lie has
a baid head, a mou->tache,Ritber a florid
'ace, and sits in the front row upon the
Democratic side. Haa mond, of Geor
gia, takes care of the legal end of dis
cussions lu which his State la interest
ed. He fairlv dotes upon the tew. A
knotty problem, involving a vast
amount of research into musty old
tomes, gives him unbounded satisfac
tion. Thus it happens that he freqnerite
ly bobs up in tlie House with preced
ents so aucient that they are new to tlie
members. Hammond believes in wear
ing all the hair he can get on his head.
hair Is long aud gray, and his full
beard reaches half down to his waist.
Still, lie Is not a had-looklng man by
any means, and socially he isone of the
most popular men upon the Democratic
side.
A Slender of Clothe*.
When well-to-do men fall, or die
without leaving property, their fami
lies are often compelled,*’ said a lady
conspicuous In charitable work, “to do
something to help themselves. This is
very hard for women wiio have been
trained up in idleness. Some teach
music aud others teach school, but those
ways of earning a living are already
overcrowded. As for domestic service.
It is simply impossible to make living
wages at it. 1 have known women
who made money by preparing cakes
and preserves. Many paint plaques,
Christinas cards anil make other fancy
articles, bnt-they are hurt by the com
petition of women who do the same
thing without the necessity of earning
money, aud who are willing, therefore,
to sell for almost auy price. I know
of one practical young woman who
supports herself in * singular way.
She does tlie mending for a number of
families. She is proficient in darning
and in other ways of repairing cloth
ing anil she makes visits at regular
intervals and repairs all the clothing
that needs repairing.”
Keep on ilae Dollar’* Hifbl Hide.
Young mao, it is a good thing to keep
on the right side of your dollar. It
makes a great difference in 3’our com
fort and prosperity whetheryou spend
95 per cent, or 100 per cent, of it, but
it is a positive insult to the dollar to
-pend 105 per cent, of It. You will be
BEFORE THE FUNERAL.
of his first wife w as preached.
Mr. Green found a girl to his liking,
ami on the fourth day of October, a
little more than sixteen months after
the death of his first wife, the pair were
married, and the buxom young coun
try girl was carried to Mr. Green’s
home as his wife.
The husband was sixty-two and tlie
wife twenty-one.
When the son, Mr. J. J. ‘Green,
heard of his father’s marriage, he felt
very indignant and refused to visit his
father aud his young wife, lie did
not think his father bad acted right in
marrying so soon after bis mother’s
death. Prior to tlie time of the mar
riage the father and son had never had
across word and everything worked
along smoothly, but as soon os
THE MARRIAGE took place,
a bitter feeling sprang up between
father and son, and In a few weeks
time, the father asked the son to return
him the deeds to the land he had given
him. Of course this request was de
clined, and the father then said he
would go to the law', and to the law he
went.
The evidence, so far, has been rich,
rare and racy, and show s up Father
Green as a man who w’anted to marry
very bad and was willing to take most
any kind of chauces. The young wife
was in the' court room a large portion
of the day, and conducted herself well.
Messrs. Hammond and Orr represent
the father, and Ellis & Glenn the son.
The eutire day will be consumed in the
trial. .
