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.

When the train arrived at Albany a large concourse of people was at the depot to meet the distinguished arri vals, but found every doorof tbe coaches guarded by two soldiers, so they only glimpsed tbe objects of their curious gaze through windows; and those window openings never before framed such pictures. The young men discovered that the beautiful Indian maiden was a fraud and a myth, and that If“clean.iness is next toGodiinttss,” they were remotely removed from grace. In fact, they were disenchanted, and if any went down to the depot with the intention of rescuing a dusky damsel, and effect ing an escape across the rushing Tbronateeska into the trackless forest filled with the music of the sighing pines, and whose every breath is lad- ened with the mingled odors of the modest violet and fragrant magnolia, they did not put their intention into execution. The special train bearing tills human freight pulled out from Albany at 6 o’clock, on the S., F. & W. B’y for Jacksonville, whence they went to St. Augustine.

Our contemporary, the News and Advertiser, has enlarged its daily to six columns. The News and Adver tiser Is doing wonders for its town. —Leary Courier. Tiie News and Advertiser learn ed, yesterday, that Mr. F. M. Acuff, who left Albany not long since, drop ped dead in Tennessee, where he was living, a few days ago. Mr. W. S. Fleming, the city cotton weigher, is kept busy weighing the buyers’ shipments. There is no reason why cotton should lose anything in being reweighed this season. Mr. N. F. Tift has a large stack of fine hay, which is good to look upon. The hay cut in Southwest Georgia this season is of fine quality, and stock keep fat on being fed with It. Wk understand that Messrs. Lamar, Raukin & Lamar are so well pleased with the management of their branch house here in Albany that they will enlarge operations at this point. Patience is a virture that all should cultivate; it is conducive to success in any direction, for they who “learn to labor and to wait,” are usu ally gratified with a full reward. In 1871 Athens, Ga., did not receive over 8,000 bales of cotton. This season It will handle over 50,000. It draws its receipts from a territory if forty miles around. Albany’s receipts have uot increased in such proportions. Mr. Tom M. Nelson has just re ceived a new and handsome bicycle. It has the advantage of being eleven pounds lighter than the others in use here of the same size. It is a Colum bia bicycle. Col. Colored Ishmael Loxon’s in dependent candidacy for the Legisla ture doesu’t appear to meet with any encouragement even among the color ed people. A candidate without fol lowing is without hope. N.

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. Fonntrr and machine Shsp to Leake or Beat. Mr. T.

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 and scarf like those Jim was wearing were mining from his stock, and, without more ado, Mr. Price had Jim arrested. Jim was carried to jail, and finally acknowledged stealing tbe A Good .tffmi’s niiUrtnoea in Our Right. 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. will bring them to w ithin about twelve | Davy Hines, one of tiie oldest colored parsons in this part of the moral vine yard, and the founder, many years 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 down at their house several times since the blissful days of their honeymoon, him j and Nettie has, on account of alleged bad treatment, left the old man and gone back to her “mar” several times.

ColorrU l»lantacl Lotion Fall* to Get tbe Republican* to Reini tiate Him for tbe Legislature, but Declare* His Intentlou to Run Anyhow. 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 term expired. He has been a candi date at every election since, aud has been “left” every time. .But defeat doesn’t appear to disc*] mirage nor to assuage his thirst for p<»litical preferment.

Colored ishmael Lonon, so he canvassed the county and called a meeting at the Court House on last Saturday hoping to get himselt nom inated or “brought out” uuder Repub lican auspices. A good number of the colored Re publicans of the county met, but the counsel of the more intelligent and conservative ones prevailed, and it was decided not to make a nomination. Falling to get himself nominated, Col. Colored Ishmael Lonon waxed wroth and announced bis intention to “run anyhow” as an indeiiendent can didate. He may run, hut lie will get “left” again. real punishment the irate mother was inflicting upon the child. And that’s what led to the fracas— the “monkey and the parrot of a time” which the parson and his wife had on Tuesday morning. We can’t go into details, bat It Is very evldeut that the parson lost his temper, and that Nettle came out sec ond-best in the fracas that ensued. She appeared at the law office of Messrs. Waiters A Arnheim at about half past 9 o’clock aud instituted what promis es to be an interesting suit for divorce and alimony. She bore unmistakable evidences on her person of having been severely beaten, and witnesses were called in to see the scars. Reicb Sc Ueiffer. There Is no firm iu.Georgia that de serves the success they have achieved more thau the staunch firm of Reich A Geiger. As young Hungarians, in their, na tive European village, they "were schoolmates, and . a friendship that time has only strengthened sprung 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.

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 Independent politicians of Baker have had several meetiugs with a view to liavitig a mau oppose Mr. W. C. Odum, the Democratic nominee foi Representative. They claim that tin nomination was unfair, and they do not consider Mr. Odum the nominee. I- it is unfair for oue cadidate to defeat another the nomination was not fair. I was present and could uot see but one unfair thing going on, and that was a little too much “tauglefoot” goi into some of the gentlemen with leg islative aspfratioiis. I do not know what they did at their last meeting, which "was belli at Milford on the 17th Inst., but can’t believe that some of tiie old heads that have lieeu present at most of tiie tiiectiug*i are going to let their political prejudice overrule their better judgment so much as t*« cause them to support an independent.

Dougherty. A drive to Acree, on Tuesday, by a News and Advertiser man. proved Interesting. The route led through East Dougherty, the most populous and prosperous section of our county. Small farms lay all along the liue of road, and there are evidences of thrift and industry. Some of the larger plantations exhibit signs of de- lapidutioti,aml but small areas of them are in cultivation, but the one and two- mule farms seem well cultivated, aud the settlements present an air of tidi ness that is pleasing. Reaching Acree, the objective point, it was surprising to see the amouut ot building that Iras beeu doue at the sta tion withiu tiie past two years. The May os have a large lumber mill there iu full operation. Mr. C. E. Wilder, Messrs. G.J. Wallace A Son aiul Mr. A. Ratliff have mercantile establishments at the Station. Mr. aud M r s. A. Ratliff, with tlieir usual kindness, placed the scribe under obligations by their courteous atten tions. Mr. Ratliff' Is at present erect ing a commodious building at tiie sta tion and has an extensive business, of which the News and Advertiser has more to say in another column. The farmers of East Dougliertv are learning that all cotton means ultimate bankruptcy, aud are diversifying their crops with flue results.
