SCROFULA OF LUNGS
RELIEVED.
1 am now 49 years old, and have suf
fered for the la«t til teen years with a
lung trouble. Several members of the
family ou my mother’s side of the
house had died with consumption, and
the doctors were all agreed in their
opinion that 1 had consumption also.
I had all Lite destroying syiutonis of
that terrible disease. I **ave spent
thousands of dollars to arrest the
march of this disease; 1 have employed
all of the usual methods, not only in
In my own ease, but in the treat
ment of other meml>ers of my
family, but temporary relief was all
that 1 obtained. 1 was unfit for any
manual labor for several years. By
chance I came into possession of a
paiuplet on “Blood and Skin Disease,”
from the office of Swift Specific Co.,
Atlanta, Ga. A friend recommended
the use of Swift's specific, claiming that
lie himself had been greatly benefited
by its use in some lung troubles. I
resolved to try it. About four years
ago l commenced to take S. S. S. ac
cording to directions. 1 found it an
Invigorating tonic, and have used about
fifty bottles. The results are most re
markable. My cough has left me, niv
strength has returned, and 1 weigh GO
pounds more than 1 ever did in my
life. It has been three years sin*-** I
stopped the use of the medicine, ut I
have had no return of the disease, and
there are no pains or weakness felt in
my longs. 1 do the hardest kind of
mechanical work, and feel as well as 1
ever felt since l was a bov. These, 1
know, an* wonderful statements to
make, but 1 am honest when I sav that
1 owe my existence anil health to-day
to Swift’s*Specific. It is the only
medicine that brought me any perma
nent relief. I do not say that Swift’s
Specific will do this in every case, but
most positively affirm that it has doue
this much for me, and I would lie re
creant to toe duty I owe to suffering
humanity if I had failed to bear this
cheerful testimony to the merits of this
wonderful medicine. (am well known

When the train arrived at Albany a

Facial Expression Indicative off
Character.
Thackeray says that “on some men’s
faces letters of credit are written,”
and while this cautious business ag
does not always cash them, yet confi
dence, or its want, is established by a
look into the open face. Perhaps all
letters on faces are uot signed, or, If
they are, they are not letters of re
commendation. Did you ever board a
railioad train, filled with nearly every
kind of character that it takes to
make up a world, and busy yourself
in studying the faces of your fellow
passengers? It is one ot the most in
teresting and profitable pa:-times in
which one cau indulge. Facial ap
pea ranee has been, from time imme
morial, a mode of determining charac
ter. The lines that thought, passion,
sorrow or pleasure write on the open
face are as intelligible as the printed
fines of a book. Some are more skill
ed than others in reading nature’s
chirograph}*, yet to all the silent
mouth expresses a phase of character
more unmistakably than a wagging
tongue, for the tongue can and does
lie.
A child is irresistibly drawn by the
benignity of some luces, and equally
repelled by the harsh lines that arc
written in others. Hans Christian
Andersen’s countenance beamed with
such a kindly deposition that it dis
armed all children of fear, and they
followed him in crowds along the
streets.
A dog never loses a frown, and will
always recognize a smile by a friendly
wag of his docile tail.
Not long since, we boarded a train
and found a gallery of interesting sub
jects. The most attractive of them all
was the impassive face of a sister of
charity. Her features were as clean
cut and classic as a cameo setting,
but as immobile as the chiseled face of
a marble madonna.. It occurred to us
that it was the uniform expression of
the sisterhood, and remembering that
occupation gives set resemblances to
all Its followers, we concluded that
their lives crucified self in them, and
the contending wave of passion and
thought were on a buried sea and
never laved the outer shore ot facial
outlines. But as a rule, good and evil
passions impress their expression on
the human countenance, and either, in
continual exercise, mould the muscles
into a fixed coutour. Those familiar
with the effects of thought on tiie hu
man face,like a skilled chemist,can an
alyze a subject and distinguish each
peculiar trait that enters iuto the com
position of a character.
Resemblance in feature is no less
controlled by the law of heredity
than similarity in disposition. For
generations one predominant idiosyn-
cracy of a progenitor is perpetuated in
the disposition of his descendants, but it
gradually disappears In its assimila
tion w ith others.
Pure and noble thoughts stamp their
image on the face, and, like the touch
of angel wings In passing,leave a trail
of light behind. And features as per
fectly chiseled as those of a Venus de
Medici are dependent upon the inner
tight to irradiate and soften, by the
gentle graces of mind and heart, the
perfect lines of clay.
Fire Alwrna.
The quiet of tbe Sabbath morning
was rudely broken, on last Sunday
about 9 o’clock, by the alarm of fire.
The fire companies of tbe city, with
their usual alacrity, repaired to the
scene, tiie residence of Mr. John
Drinkwater, only to find that the
flames had fortunately been extin
guished, by the use of a few buckets
of water. The roof of the kitchen had
beeu fired by the imperfect joints of
the stove pipe. Albany is well pro
tected from the ravages of fire by her
efficient and well equipped fire de
partment.
The colored firemen of our city are
active, prompt and energetic, and have
rendered valuable assistance in times
of danger by fire.

John Williams and Louis McXiel,
two negroes ou Mr. W. S. Tarver’s
place, in . Baker county, had a diffi
culty on Thursday of last week, and
on Friday John Williams was ac Drs.
Strother A Bacon’s office in this city
for repairs.
The News and Advertiser did not
learn what the origin of the difficulty
was, blit It appears that Louis McNiel’s
wife was present, and that when the
fighting point was reached site seized
John Williams and held him while
her husband shot him.
The weapon used by McNIel was a
£ 2-calibre pistol, and the ball took
effect In William’s thigh. The wound
was not a dangerous one.
Shall Albany Grow?
To couvey some idea of the extent
of the railroad traffic at Albany, a
News and Advertiser rejmrter
counted eleven eugiues standing In the
yards, on last Sunday. Albany is
growing into prominence as a railroad
center.
A Chicago gentleman, who visited this
section last spriug. remarked that Al
bany must surely grow, as it was
known all over the United States. Its
artesian wells had given It prominence;
it being tiie center of the nielou pro
ducing section, it being one of the ter
mini of Gergia’s greatest railroad
systems, and its other favorable con
ditions. all conspired to encourage
hopes for its rapid growth, at some
uear day.
Albany has within her grasp the
grandest possibilities of all Georgia
cities of her population. She D the
natural channel for the stream of Flor
ida travel from the West and North
west. She will be heaquarters for an
extensive lumber business that is be
ing opened up between the pine re
gions of Southwest Georgia aud the
Northwest.
But her citizens must not expect the
golden apple to fall by gravitation into
her lap. There are so many Interests
opp^seil to Albany’.-growth, that influ
ences are set in operation to retard it.
Tbe force of tills opposition must be
overcome; Albany must go to work.
First, she stands in need of judicious
advertisement. Her citizens must co
operate In securing industrial enter
prises. Albany must have boat com
munication with New* Orleans. $100,-
000 expended in paying investments
iu Albany would be worth to the pub
lic an untold sum. The News and
Advertiser asks of her citizens, shall
Albany grow ?
He Worked ffor Nothing.
Jim Thomas, a well-known mulatto
lad, who held his last “regular job” at
the City Shoe Store, has been making
his headquarters at Price A Rawlins’
store, for some time past. Although
not employed by the firm, he insisted
upon loafing about the store and ren
dering a helping hand. Mr. Price
told him that he couldn’t afford to
hire him; that be had all tiie help he
wanted, etc., but Jim said he would
stay and work for uotliing until there
was an opening.
On Sunday Jim walked into the
store wearing a bran-new shirt and
scarf, whicn Mr. Price thought he rec
ognized as some of h^ stock. When
questioned about where he got them
Jim salt! be bought them at a certain
store in town.
Investigation showed that a shirt

without more ado, Mr. Price had Jim
arrested. Jim was carried to jail, and

Dr. Pi L. nilsman, of this city, was
the victim of a series of misfortunes on
last Friday night. It is an old saying
that “misfortunes never entue singly,”
and this was certainly verified iu Dr.
Hilsman’s case on Friday night. He
was taken sick daring the night, and
was unable to respond to an urgent call
to attend a lady patient. That was mis
fortune number one. A forage house
on his farm on the suburbs of the city
caught fire and was burned down with
a quantity of fodder and hay. That
was misfortune number two. Early
Saturday morning his hired man
came in from his farm a ml told him that
one of his best horses had died during
the night, making misfortune number
three, all in one night. Such an expe-
move of two and a half miles, which j people outside of it, know* the Rev.

parsons in this part of the moral vine

ago, of Jackson Grove (Baptist)
clearing it of all ob-J church Iu this city, of which he is
itor. He owns a brick store on
Broad street, the house iu which he
lives, and several tenement houses in
the city. Iu short, he doubtless pos
sesses more of “this world’s goods”
than any other parson, white or color
ed, in the county, and when his second
wife died and left him a widower,a few
years ago, he was considered quite a
“catch” by the colored belles and
damsels of the city. Among others
who “set their caps” for the thrifty
parson was Nettie Brown, who dis
tanced all her rivals and won the old
man’s heart. In due course of time
—it wasn’t such au awfully long time
after wife number two died, either—
Nettie became Mrs. Hines.
But it wa-s about the “monkey and
parrot of a time” the parson aud his
wife had,on Tuesday morning,and not
tbeir courtship and honeymoon, that
we started to tell.
If the gossips of colored society are
to be credited, the parson and his
young wife have made things lively

bad treatment, left the old man and

Col. Colored Ishuiael Lonon, the
chronic caudidatc for the Legislature,
is on the track and “in the race”
again. By means of a compromise oy
coalition between the Democrats and
Repubiicauis in 18S0, when this county
had two representatives in th*> lower
house of the General Assembly, the
honors of a legislator were conferred
upon Col. Colored Ishraael Lonon, aud
he has never been happy since his

Col. Colored ishmael Lonon, so he
canvassed the county and called a
meeting at the Court House on last
Saturday hoping to get himselt nom

A good number of the colored Re

counsel of the more intelligent and
conservative ones prevailed, and it was
decided not to make a nomination.

Col. Colored Ishmael Lonon waxed
wroth and announced bis intention to

And that’s what led to the fracas—

up between them. They left the
fatherland to try their fortunes iu free
America.
Fifteen years ago, together they
came to Albany, and embarked In
mercantile business. By economy,
pluck, energy and close attention to
their business, they have accumulated
property, won the reqtect of all who
know* them, aud firmly established
themselves In publict confidence.
They now have oue of the most at
tractive stores in Albany, filled with a.
well selected and beautiful stock of
Clothing, dry goods, ladies’ flue goods,
gents’ furnishing goods aud general
that has enabled them to achieve such
signal Mtceess—that of discounting
their hills, which allows them to sell
at low prices to their satisfied custo
mers.
Tlieir advertisement, which cannot
fail to attract attention, appears iu this
morning’s News and Advertiser.
They invite their friends au«l the pub
lic genera Iy to call and examine their
elegant and complete stock.
To Be Enforced.
The City Council has directed the
City Marshal to enforce the ordinances
which prohibit the running of rail
road trains at a faster speed than four
miles an hour, prohibiting the
blowing of locomotive whistles,
and requiring the riuging of the bell
on all locomotives, while in motion,
within the city limits.
These ordinances have been ignored
by the railroads heretofore, and the
constant aunoyance from the whistles
and tiie danger to tiie public from tiie
speed at which trains are run in the
city have become intolerable, and the
City Marshal is going to undertake to
enforce the ordinances. Cases will be
made against every engineer who vio
lates either of the ordinances referred
to in the future.
Albatajr’a Scheme.
We are reliably informed that tiie
merchants of Albauy are working a
>od scheme among the farmers of
orth county to keep cotton from
coming to Montezuma on the boat. It
is said that they pay the farmers more
than tbe market prifce for their cotton
in order to get it. Farmers in Dough
erty and other counties are not treated
so cleverly.
Our friends in Worth should remem
ber they have no bridge toll to pay lu
getting to Montezuma, and here they
cau get the cash, aud trade where they
please. Bring your cottou here and
our merchants will sell you cheaper
than the cheapest.—Montezuma Rec
ord.
Our Montezuma contemporary evi
dently obtained its “reliable” infor
mation from very unreliable sources.
It is true that the merchants and cot
ton buyers of Albany “pay more than J in Southwest Georgia.

Tuesday morning Nettie under
took to chastise the baby, a child some
two or three years old, and the rever-
A. Ratliff.
The News and Advertiser is never
pronder than when it can point to the
signal success of any of the citizens ol
Dougherty county. Among the con
spicuously successful business men of
oar county is Mr. A. Ratliff. In 1875
he, then a man past middle life, came
to Albany with nothing, but, by dint
of persistent and industrious applica
tion to his business, be has accumu
lated a fine property. He built a large
store house and metal-cover whore
house in East Albany, and there in a
business of a few years became favor
ably known to the trading pnblic of
several counties.
Realizing that Acree, a growing sta
tion on the B. A W. railroad, would
be a fine location as a business point,
he leased his valuable property in
East Albany and moved there.
- He at once commenced tbe erection
ofa large "two-story frame building,
covered by a roof 60x60 feet, with a
store room and six other apartments
below, and a ball and eight bed rooms
above. This house will be fully com-
ln -n^rtmim ra ..,-t!. e line of policy Pktca by .he 1st of Norember W h
being erected under Mr. Ratliff’s per
sonal supervision.
This store room is well stocked with
dry goods, clothing, shoes, bats, hard
ware, groceries, aud general merchan
dise.
Hr. Ratliff says that lie can sell
goods as cheaply as the merchants of
Albany, as he has no rent, city taxes
or clerk hire to pay. As a proof oi
this assertion, he sells best granulated
sugar at twelve pounds, and brown
sugar fourteen pounds for oue dollar.
In his estimable wife Mr. Ratliff*
has a helpmeet indeed. She is not
only the partaker of his joys, but a
sharer of Ids life’s work, and together
they have fought life’s battles.
See Mr. Ratliff’s attractive adver
tisement in this issue, iu which be in
vites his friends and customers to call
and examine his complete stock of
low priced goods.
Gratniton* AdrSee.
Cuthbert is to have a park. The
court house squat e, together with the
old court house, has been sold by the
county to the city for $200. The
building will be razed and the square
converted into a pleasure park.
The News and Advertiser sug
gests that the city sell off the square
in lots, take the proceeds and purchase
a more extensive lot in a more suita
ble location for a park. The proposed
site is too circumscribed, and too pnb
lic for a pleasure park for ladies.
The dust from the streets, too, will
prove a disadvantage.
The writer offers this gratuitous
ail vice from a deep interest he feels
in Cntlibert’s welfare, aid unless the
object of the city is to prevent it
from failing into hands of private
owners, the advantages of these
suggestions will weigh with the Conn-
cil.

it is unfair for oue cadidate to defeat
