MOTHERS' FRIEND Make* CHILD-BIRTH Kasy Tlic time hart come at last when the terrible agony inci dent to this very critical imriod ih a woman’s liie can be avoid ed. A distinguished physician, who passed the greatest por tion of his life (forty-fouryears) in this branch of practice,left to ohiid-bcariug woman this price less legacy and life-saving ap pliance, “THE MOTHERS’ FRIEND,” and to-day their are thousands of the best wo men in our land who, having used this wonderful remedy before confinement, rise up and call his name blessed. We receive letters from every • section of the country* thanking uh for placing this preparation in the reach of suflennz wo man. . Une ladv from North Carolina writes us that she would like to thank tj.e propri etors on her knees for bringing it to her notice, as in a previous confinement she had two doc tors, amt they wero compelled to use ohloroformAinstrumentH, etc., and site suffered almo death: but this time she used “MOTHERS’ FRIEND,” and her labor was short, quick and almost like magic.

Bath Tubs at Sheffield A Bell’s. men of Albany te organize a home base ball club and play exhibition games, the proceeds to go towards discharging the debts contracted by the club last season. By this plan they hope to give through the dull lischarge an ob ligation tint rests heavily on them. We find the following in the Macon Telegraph of Yesterday. It does great injustice to the gentlemen who acted j as judges in the contest which took ! place in this city between Eagle No 2 "tenlay afternooD I and the Defiance So 2 of Cuthbert; j and the mean insinuation agaiust the Col.

Those who leave home for comfort in summer rarely find a realization of their hopes. The ease and freedom of home are frequently sacrificed for positive dis comfit. Gent’s Underwear, very cheap, at tf J, Hofmaykr A Co. A little Albany boy, who has been confined to his bed lor some days, was pronounced convalescent yesterday by his physician. When the little fellow’s father went home to dinner the little patient said: “Dr. Bacon has dismissed my case,” and being somewhat a poli tician, with a twinkle in. his eye, added: '‘Hurrah for Bacon!” Walson’N magic Balsam Beats the world on Piles and all kinds of Sores, Burns, Scalds, and other in flamed surfaces.

See ad. 13-suwtf No event in the city has more efor ments of appeal to the support of the whole city than the “Dress Rehearsal” which will be presented on Tuesday night, June 8th. Let everybody at tend. The object in view is to raise funds for the reopening of the public library. Our yonng ladies have de voted much time in preparing forthe entertainment. People will get married. On Tues day night there was a rap.at the door of the Presbyterian parsonage. The fact was soon made known that a par son’s services were In immediate de mand.

No medicine on the market, of Its kind, has ever met the unqualified en dorsement of the people that W arson’s Magic Balsam has: The medical pro fession endorse 1t, because always found reliable. See advertisement elsewhere. 13-suwtf The agreement to close the stores at 6:30 o’clock during the summer season went into effect on Tuesday afternoon. The signal was give by the ringing of a bell and the preparation for closing commenced at once. Aside from the drug stores, which were exempted from the agreement, and were not ex pected to close, there were no conspic uous exceptions, and it may be said that the early closing schedule was successfully inaugurated. ... .

Sold by Lamar, Rankin & Miss Lizzie Colquitt, 'daughter of Senator Colquitt, was married-on Wednesday eveplng, June 2nd, at her father’s home In Kirkwood, to Captain W. S. Marshall, a descendant of Chief Justice Marshall. Gen. C. A. Evans performed the ceremony at 8 o’clock. The fair bride bore in her band a bo- qnet, hearing a card, “From the Pres ident; on bis wedding day.” The two happy events transpired on the same day, and about the same honr. Every lover sympathizes with the hap piness of a lover. Sprinkling Pots at Sheffield A Bell’s. The News and Advertiser pub lishes in this paper, cards of several commission merchants, in the Western markets.

Kendall, evinced his friendship in a very ac ceptable manner on Monday, by pre senting to the News and Advertiser two dozen delicious, ripe peaches. They are of the Alexander clingstone variety, and usually ripen by the 15th of May, but are a little late this season on account of the unfavorable spring. Mr. Kendall will be able to supply this market with early peaches. Death of Mr. Richard. Kkcrritt. Mr. Richard Skerritt died at his home at Acre, Worth county, at half past 4 o'clock yesterday morning. 'The News and Advertiser was unable to learn any of the particulars. Mr Sker ritt was engaged in the naval stores business at Acre,and was a man of steri- ing quali ties. Acre and Worth county lose a good and useful citizen by bis death. He leaves a wife, who has the sympathy of the entire community in her great bereavement. The Summer at M t. Airy. On the 15th inst, Mrs. Z. T. Mayo, of this city, will go to Mt. Airy and take charge of the Church House. Mt. Airy has already become a favorite summer resort for Albany and South west Georgia people, and the fact that Mrs. Mayo Is to open a house there for the entertainment of visitors will add another attraction to the place. Mrs. Mayo justly bears the reputation of be- inga most capable and attentive hostess, and the Church House, UHdecher man agement, will, we predict, soon become deservedly popular. ' Bow’s This fora Rat Story? Fish stories and snake stories are rather dnU tills season; or, at least, they are late about coming in. The Indianapolis Netos furnishes the fol lowing rat story, however, which will doubtless bold its own with any of the snake or fish stories thatcome out dur ing the season: It is related that hungry rats devour ed a five pound package of yeast cike in the / freight house in Middleton on Sunday, and a few hours later, when the yeast worked, the noise of popping rats was heard, and their fragments strewed the neighborhood. How About Fenton? The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph sends that paper the the following, which is printed-under the bdadiug, “Mrs. Fenton’s Good Luck’r: “Mrs. C. M. Fenton, residing on Bell street, is to-day the mother of twins—a boy and a girl—weighing ten pounds each.” The unenvious women of the land will be fejoiced to hear of Mrs. Fen ton's good lack, but the “lords of cre ation”, that is to say, the generous and sympathetic fathers of the country, would .like to knowhow Jfr. Fenton feels about jt before they forward their congratulations. , Killed a Cow. * MrrS. F. Price, who resides on Residence street, heard a cow at his front gate daring the rain on Sunday night. He' went oat and latched his front gate, and to better secure his garden gate, propped it. Upon wak ing Monday morning he found the cow revelling in his green garden. It proved to be one belonging to Mrs. Carrie Hill, which seemed very skill ful in lifting latches, and had for two successive years destroyed Mr. Price's garden. He shot it through, and sent Mrs. Hill word td let the butchers buy it and procure another, and be wonld pay her the difference. Mr. Price had given notice to Mrs. Hill that he would kill the cow if it raided his garden again. , ' Bow Will Tbis Do for One? The Sparta Ishmaelite says: The snake crop is abundant this year, but the snake liar is strangely missing. Possibly he has been engaged by the leading dailies to write up proceedings of the campaign meetings. How will this, which we find in Thursday’s Macon TWegmp&^do for a “missing” link? Butler, May 26.—Yesterday while Mrs. C. C. West was feeling in one of her husband’s vest pockets for a match, a rattlesnake measuring over5 feet in length dropped out. The lining was torn, and it is thought that the snake was coiled under it. Colonel West thinks it got into his pocket while he was out fishing over two weeks »g°- The paragraph doesn’t state which “one of her husbands” it was whose vest went fishing; but the story is a warning, all the same, to wives who search the pockets of their unsuspect ing lords. - Pimples, Blotches, Eruptions of the skin indicate that yon need a few doses of Fontaine’s Great Discovery.

Fudge had occasion to go into the jew elry store of Mr. Phil. Harris, some thing being wrong with & diamond spiral scarf pin that he wore in his cravat. He leaned over the show case in which Air. Harris displays his watches, and asked him to examine it. Just at that time a large negro came object of snpremest interest, has been ingeniously arranged, and a visit to -t will richly repay any one. It may seem a paradoxical assertion, yet it is nevertheless true, that two distinct streams, unmixed, flow from the same well. One stream is, as nearly as can be analyzed by the senses, a pure freestone water, while the other is strongly impregnated with iron. The mineral flow comes from a. depth of 630 feet, the casing of which is a six inch pipe. At that depth the drill pipe was reduced to four inches, and the rock was penetrated to the depth of 750 feet, which gave a flow of 105 gallons to the minute, A casing of four inch pipe was then inserted into the larger and forced into the small four inch well at the bottom. Thus is presented the novel result of a well within a well. A sixteen feet stand pipe into which the water from the well can be turned caps the casing, and when the water is overflowing from that pipe a tumbler placed over it will form a fountain in the shape of an umbrella of solid sheets of water, producing a most pleasing effect. The waste water is conducted through a covered aqueduct Into an orchard of apple trees and then over minature falls, irigating strawberry beds and refreshing vege tation along its banks, the bold clear stream follows a circuitous waterway into THE FISH POND. In this enterprise Col. Tift takes great pride, and justly, too. It covers something over half an acre lying gracefully in its curvilinear banks. Two small islands fringed with wil lows nestle in its placid bosom. A well, having a subteranean connec tion with the river, carries off the overflow, aud no malaria can be produced by the pure water. The pond is well stocked with fish—carp, bream and pe. ch. The Colonel makes pets of the carp, and on yesterday took down two pones of bread and whistled them up to be fed. A ripple in the water from every direction indicated that the fish were eagerly preparing to answer the call. Soon the carp were seen slowly approaching the crumbs, and, as they came in greater numbers, theyjreminded one of pigs in their greed. These carp were put in by Col. Tift five months ago only one totwojinches long, and now they are from eight to ten. Around the yard Colonel. Tift has six bearing pecans and his pear or chard is filled with well fruited trees. Fig trees abound, and the whole pre sented a happy scene of a quiet, green old ace, spent in following the advice and example of Horace in planting for posterity. May mnuv years be given him in wide j to enjoy the comforts of a home so complete in its appointments. Tlar Foot Race. The foot race announced in Fri day morning's News and Advertiser, for the purse of ten dollars, which was to have been awarded In prizes to the fastest ruuners at the colorea firemen's tournament on Thursday afternoon, was run at 6 o’clock last Friday after noon. There were six entries, viz: Bryson Hill, Frank Hopkins, Joe Lowry, Ad Jeffers, Henry Sander?, Jim Ander son. Quite a crowd gathered on Broiul street at ttie appointed hoar to witness the race. Frank Hopkins and Joe Lowry were the favorites, and there was considerable betting in a small way. The distance .was one hundred yards —three heats—to be run for thq “best two in three.” Henry Sanders came out ahead on the first heat, but was closely followed by Frank Hopkins. The Judges gave the heat to Frank, how ever, because Henry started off ahead. On the second heat Frank Hopkins made the same good time, and dropped out of the race as winner of the first prize. At thexlbse of the third heat Henry Sanders was declared winner of the second prize, and Joe Lowry of the third. The best time made was 11% sec onds. The race was a lively one, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd. The Corn Crop. Eveiy day the -prospect for a good corn crop is growing more flattering. Farmers should not neglect to take ad vantage of the seasonable weather to properly work this important crops The first consideration should always be to plant enough to insure a suffi cient yield for home consumption; but if that has been neglected it cannot now be remedied, and all should ad dress themselves to caring for the grow ing grain. Many are now baying corn, and no agricultural country can long stand such a drain. It impairs the credit of a section to be compelled to buy what it should raise in abundance. The most successful planters of South west Georgia are those who never bay any corn. The present system will have to be abandoned, else the deficit will grow larger each year, and eventually ne cessitate the abandonment of many farms. A News and Advertiser man who was in search of an item, yesterday af ternoon, was baited by a group of men who were engaged in a heated discussion in front of Hilsman A de- Gr&ffenried’s drag store. Of course, they were arguing the gubernatorial question, bat the partical&r feature of tifiy. We can not believe that this communication to the Macon paper emanated from the visiting firemen or from either of the Cuthbert gentlemen who accompanied them, one of whom was one of the judges at the contest. Cuthbert, May, 28.—The Cuthbert fire company returned from Albany this morning, greatly indignant at the treatment of their neighboring broth ers. .The contest was won by the visit ing company; but the Artesian city company were not hanest enough to acknowledge their defeat, which they were compelled to acknowledge at the last contest, and they determined not to surrender as the prize remains in their hands. Albany may expect a challenge in the early future. —A pawnbroker is a loanly man. —Did you ever take a straw ride? , j, —A very expensive cane—hurricane. —The shoes for a milkman—Dumps. —Auctioneer's advice—Do as vou're I bid.

A statement made in the News and Advertiser last week that the public or free schools of the city would open on the 1st of Jane, renders and expla nation with reference to the white schools, or the application ofthepnblic school fund, necessary. The public schools of the county, both white and colored, ontside the city, are all either in session now, or have closed for the year. Instead of having separate free schools for three months begining June 1st, as hereto fore, the School Commissioners have decided to concentrate's far a practica ble, so much of the fond as belongs to the white pupils of the city, and apply the same to the Academy. Thjs, how ever, will not prevent other schools from opening in compliance with the law and drawing the amount to which the pupils In attendance will be entitled. Each pupil in attendance will then be entitled to three months’ schooling free, or the fund will be prorated and the tuition to be paid by the parent re duced accordingly. The school at the Academy will open on the first Monday in September. The white public schools outside the city are not affected by this change, and the colored free schools in the city will open as heretofore on the 1st of June. The News and Advertiser makes this statement upon authority of the School Commissioner. Our Poor. Every community has its poor, to whom more or less charity is extend ed. Albany is not an exception, but has within her limits needy persons who are deserving of charity. Our citizens generally contribute to their necessities from a sense of duty, but many esteem it a privilege to relieve the distress of worthy but unfortunate individuals. In nearly every in stance, poverty is traceable to some fault of the subject, either a want of industrious application to work, or, as is more frequent, a want of judgment in not providing in times of compara tive prosperity against the rainy day that must come into every life. It has obtained credence, that those on whom Fortune smiles, frowns on misfortune in others, hat oar experience teaches us that hnman nature is more charita ble than is generally believed. How ever, there is a disposition in some who are liberal to withhold contributions from such as reduce themselves by criminal practices and lazy Indnlgences to the extremity of want. It is well to be judicious in the distribution of char itable funds as in everything else, yet the urgency of the demand sometimes renders it necessary to forget every other consideration in bearing the cry of distress. The good people of this community are much given to charity, and they require nothing bat an ac quaintance with need to supply it. There are few places on earth where the poor are considered more prayer fully and helpfnlly. There are angels of mercy and light in our midst who minister with willing hands to the ne cessities of the nnfortnnate and afflict ed. Every week finds some commit tee from one of the numerous women’s aid societies visiting the huts and squalid tenements of poverty with love in their hearts and money in their hands. The grace of giving is cultivatible, and grows, as every other faculty. In strength from constant exercise. W. T. Jones. The folowing from the Alapsha Star is well and truly said of a townsman of whom Dougherty county is justly proud. Judge W. T. Jones, of Albany, au thorizes us to announce him as a can didate before the convention to re present the Second Congressional district in the National Legislature. Judge Jones is one or the rising young men of the district, standing at present well up among the ablest or the Albany bar, itself second to none in the State, and flills acceptably the position of Judge ot the County Caurt of Dougherty. It is most likely that Judge Jones will go into the convention with three counties solid for him and will proba bly get a few scattering votes from other counties—enough to cause a ripple of excitement and alarm among the oppo sition,if be does not secure tnc nomina tion. And again, kind words from the Qnitman Free Press which echo the good opinion of all who know our wor thy fellow citizen Judge W. T. Jones. It is rummored that Hon. \V. T.

Now for Miss Cole man’s past. Her eminently respecta ble family from the begin’uiug inter cepted all of her letters and all of Mr. Buchanan’s. She made all the appeals to him a woman could make, but she uever had a line from him after he left Philadelphia, except that last cutting letter, and as, unfortifnately, it con tained nolhiug but bis renunciation of her, she could know nothing of what had preceded it. The eminently res pectable family were satisfied—the match was broken off by means that would have landed them all in the penitentiary in these days. A year or .two afterward Mr. Bonchanan was In Philadelphia, and at a ball came face to face with Miss Coleman. Neither spoke, and Mr. Buchanan paid marked attention to another girl present. That uight a young frieud who was staying with Miss Coleman said to her, while the two girls were alone in their room: “Did you see Mr. Buchanan’s atten tions to Miss ? Now they might have been yours had you recognized him.” 3Ii»s Coleman began to sob violently. She would nor-be soothed, and her frieud, becoming alarmed, called the family. Of what next hap pened two accounts have been given- one was that she had taken poison* and her sufferings afterward came from that—but those who were near her said that she simply suffering from uncon trollable mental anguish. Toward morning, wheu her pulse had got so low that it was scarcely . perceptible, and her iiervous.excitementhad chang ed Into a profound stupor, the doctors were sent for. But she was past help. They never roused her, and she died the nextdayDf what the doc'ors called nervous exhaustion, but which goes by the name of a broken heart. Then the truth eame to Mr. Buchanan’s ears, and from that day his bachelorhood was assured. MARTIN IKONS. lie Has an Aversion for a Ulan who Owns a Kaller Dog.

As far back as I can remember, I always felt a keen; innate hatred for the injustice so persistently meted oat to the weak by the strong; and many a youthful riot have I incited among my playmates at the discovery ol some glaring piece of cruelty or oppression. “You wouldn’t do that if 3Iartin Irons was here,” was said a thousand times. I have suffered frequent insult without a thought of retaliation or revenge; but wheu the same insult lias been of fered one of my weaker friends, I was ready to take up the cudgels at once. I was fourteen years of age when, with my parents, I lauded in New York, and saw my first Yankee and my first black man. The Yankee had sold the black man a “yaller dog” ‘.or a shilling, the dog persisted in follow ing the Yankee, and the black man wanted the money refunded. Then the white man ran away, and the dog fol lowed him. 1 soon learned this to be an old trick, played alike on black or white, and ever since I have had an aversion to a man who owns a “yaller dog.” .

Sometimes had - severe chills and fevers—indigestion followed it, and 1 was generally out of health. Last spriug for more than two months I was greatly troubled with a disor dered condition of the bowels, which 1 believe was the result of the malaria, still existing in my system. 1 visited two or three mineral springs celebrated for the cure of malarial diseases, with out the slightest benefit. I was also treated as the different symptoms de veloped by the most skillful physi cians, but was not relieved. About two months ago, I concluded to try Calisaya Tonic, prepared by West moreland Bros., but I must confess I bad little confidence ot being material ly benefited by it.
