The Home Journal, Mice: $2 00 Per Annum; fr. A'd'rance. EDWIN MARTIN, iiuifor & Proprietor. THIS PAPER IS 2L2AD EVERT WEEK. BY OVE THOUSAND PAiHLIES . IN THE EElfZ SECTION OF GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING,SEPTEMBER 11 We have 'Aceived from Mr. W. H. Killebraw, the agent for this section, the prospectus of a fine and useful book, enti tled, “Western Wilds, and the Men who Redeem"Them:” We will give a more extended notice next week. The Impeachment —The Senate sit ting aa a high court of impeachment " has been sitting ten days. The demur- et 6i the Comptroller General lias been overruled by Chief Justice Wiirner pre siding, and on Monday the trial on the merits of rhe case began. But litde ev idence has so far been adduced, but the cash looks'dark for Mr. Goldsmith. We shall reserve comments, * however, until vre are more fully informed. Minos’ s Pkcgbess,— Macon never seemed' more prosperous, than- *now. Business is verj fine, and the wholesale houses are doing an immense-amount of shipping: Now and magnificent building fire going np on every hand, and the Gate City may well look to its laurels. Macon is onr especial favoiite ,of all southern cities, and we : re glad to aee-'it enjoying such great prosperity. Vfe will make more specific mention of this in a few days. Roland B. Hall, Druggist. - In an other column will be found a notice to which we ask the attention of our read ers. Mr, Hull is located in ids elegant hew drug store on Cotton Avenue, op posite J. W.

SoHAiii & Bbo.— The old and pop ular shoe, business of J. cob Scholl, of Macon, is still, conducted by his sons, who, since the recent fire have reopened on> SSerry Street below Daly’s. They have been-raieed from childhood in the • shoe business,-and know how to please.

CalIiAWAV.—This old re liable firm, of 22 years standing is still furnishing clothing for the people [at :their popular, stand on second Street, Macon.. .They are well known for their roUabilityund-fair dealing, and we com mend them to our readers in the fullest manner. • Mr. W. P.

Holtzclaw, can now be found with the Dry Goods House of W. A. Julian & Co., of Macon, where he will be happy to see and serve his friends or fill their orders. Bead his eard and give him a’ calL Gen. Hood’s Gbphaxs.—Gen. J. B. Hood, whose death from yellow fever we noted last week-, left eleven , chil- . (Iren, among them four pairs of twins. One of the little 1 nos has since died of the same disease. . Gen. Hood left his i children destitute, reverses in business having reduced him to poverty, but it must have been an inspiration that prompted him-to commend them to bis old soldiers and eorarades in arms. The Atlanta Oonstitutio-i headed the list for their relief with $250, Gen. Toomb - fol io wed - with $100, and now the Constitu tion fund has been added to by hun dreds of contributions from the gener ous hearts of old veterans and friends until it has reached nearly luo thou sand dollars. In battle the dauntless Hood never oalled on his men m vain, and to them he has confided the dear- >: est hopes of his heart. The trust will not be betrayed, and the Southern peo ple will see that these little ones are T6»red and educated to be tiue, noble m.-n and womca. When Georgia determined to estab lish a State Department of Agriculture, we considered it one of the most impor tant experiments ever undertaken in the commonwealth. The Home Jour nal so expressed it-s opinion at the time, and added further that the utility oi such a bureau could not be fully felt in a few years, but that we were confi dent that after much experience and many failures on particular enter prises, this department world Income oue of the most useful in the State gov ernment, and a. sine qua non to nearly every intcl'igent plauter in Georgia. The! Department of Agriculture at Washington covers such an immense extent Of territory that its utility must be necessarily almost entirely confined to the introduction of new seeds and plants, and the dissemination of infor mation and tho conducting of experi ments with respect to them. We d<> not believe it has ever added to the real wealth of the country one year’o interest on its cost, yet no one clamors for its abolishment for its benefits must iu the course of time be demonstrated, —as agriculture is now taking tho rank it deserves among the sciences. TLe steam plow, ilie self-binding mower, etc., go baud in band with the great in ventions ia manufacturing, while the chemist now finds in this once despised pursuitjan outlet for all the skill and knowledge he tan acquire. With farm ers themselves the old prejudice against education is almost a tiling of the past, “Progress” is (he order of the day, and the watchword is "Onward.” But to return. vVe alluded to tLe one time opinion of this i>aper, not to show that our words had proven pro phetic, but to show that we were mista ken. For although our present Com- missionei, Dr. Janes, may be impeach ed for using seven one cent stamps that he did not take vouchers for, he has made his department a success far be yond our hopes, of the most sanguine anticipations of the people of the State. Not that he has not made some mis takes, for he is but human; neither are wean unqualified admirer of hismonth- ly reports, but we will state 1 riefly a few items of work which he has done the importance of which.cannot be over estimated. and which is for beyond re duction to dollars and cents. To this department is due the au thoritative and official notice of .the immense loss our farmtrs sustained by the ruinous policy of buying their sup plies on time. The facta and figures published by Dr. Jaues have almost overturned the old way and had an im mense influence in establishing the cash-system in by far the larger part of THE STATE TREASURER. We have not yet seen the evidence ta ken in the investigation of the books of the State^Treasurer, Mr J W Ker.froe; bnt ft seems from an inteiview in the Atlanta Dispatch, that the Treasurer by a special arrangement deposited the state money in certain banks, and he and his securities, divided the interest allowed, amounting to some eighteen thousand dollars between them. If this be true it lays the alleged Goldsmith defalcatiomin tbef^shade, and demands the Treasurers- prompt. removal and prosecution under our criminal law against embezzlement. We hope here- aiter to see this course'pursued^ against unfaithful officials, as. the people of Georgia do not care to foot many bilk for such expensive luxuries as impeach ed whether the legislature will pursue him wiUiTbe.cru.s l' rigor with which it did Goldsmith, W];V< if guilty, we can not believe to be s > bud a man as char ged. Wo want to si 6 the legis’atnre to dd its duty not only without fear, but without favor orpi-judice. The amonnt of corruption being i nearthed in Atlan ta is proving the dia'.h of the present administration, and : he Democratic par ty can only be saved by sweeping out the whole concern, except Barnett, Orr and Jones, who hart-far proven “Sans peter et sans reprodiu.’’ . Receirer’s Sale—-Yalftahle Property. Valuable Tows Pis- >pekty fob Sale. — Especial attention is called to the ad vertisement of -Judge Nottingham in another column. On the 1st Tuesday in October, by decree of the Superior Court, he will sell tho valuable proper ty known as Cook’s Range, which is among the best renting property in Perry, all the stores being excellent business stands. Here is a rare chance for a good paying investment. D. G. McCobmjck’s Wabehouse.— Attention is called to the large card- of this gentleman in another column. .Ho is one of the true, progressive men of Hawkinsville, and deserves tho large patronage he is receiving. He has a splendid and convenient warehouse. A. n. Lowe.—Mr. A. a Lowe, of Hawkinsvilte, is changing his business, and is introducing something new. He is putting in a neat and nobby billiard saloon and ten pin alley, and will enter tain the American people at these in teresting games. Call and see him. 2t. Georgia. The hand books of Georgia publkhed OD Fria Safnrday by the department have been largely circulated, and will have a great effect in inviting. into our -State the better class of immigrants—those that will add to its wealth,.intelligence and prosperi ty. Now as to the analyses of fertilizers,' a e have information that cannot be doubted that- it has driven out of the Georgia market thousands of gtons “fit spurious fertilizers, which has been shipped to other States where no in spection is provided for by law. It is a notorious fact that the fertilizers nowin use here are much superior to those of a few years ago,—excepting, of course, a few standard brands. Aud while fifty cents per ton is charged by the state as inspectors fees, the price in Georgia is no higher than in those States where no inspection is required. This alone comes from the manufacturers, and brings into Georgia every year about $45,000. The analyses and soil tests are daily consulted by thousands of planters. " Now it has been charged that the de partment costs the State and people an immense sum of money. Here is the true and official statement of its cost. Inspectors salaries ...$6,600 Chemist’s salary and expenses.. 3,000 Commissioner and clerk’s sala ries 7 3,200 Total cost of Department $12,800 This is a comparatively small sum, and, beside tbe immense amounts an nually wasted by the legislature in fool- is h talking and political wirepulling,is dwarfed iuto insignificance. Georgia ought to be williug to pay $25,000 a year, if it necess-sry,—but it is not, and it does not pay one cent of this amount, for the $45,235 77 collected from fertili zer manufacturers as inspection fees, pays the small cost of the department, and turns into tbe State treasury the neat little.sum of $32,435 77 besides,— or pays back tbe annual appropriation of $11,000 and to it adds 21,435 77. We are quite sure that the' war on the department is largely founded on misrepresentation and prejudice, and the people, when correctly informed and taking a right view of the matter, would not consent to do away with it if cost twice the money, and did hot bring oue cent into the treasury. Surely our statesmen who profess to have such broad ideas, believe in *:saving at at the spigot and losing at the bung.” We don’t know.'Dr. Janes personally, and we never received a cent of patron age Irom bim or bis department. For. this we do likeJhim or it; bnt we say for tbe people, of Georgia, the Depart ment of Agriculture is worthy of confi dence and snpport, and the Commis sioner is peculiarly fitted for the duties devolving on him. The Home Joubnal is ready to assist it in communicating with the people of tins section, and to help farmers, small and great, to push forward their profession until it is far more learned and honorable than many that now Iooe upon it it with contempt. The agriculturists of Georgia com prise nine-tenths of its people and tax payers, and they are worthy of a small department in the State government de voted to their interests, especially as it is a source of positive revenue to the State; and more important than all, we believe the department is worthy of the agriculturists of Georgia. Notwithstanding all this the Legisla ture of Georgia spent about the annual cost of this department in the attempt to abolish it, and yet voluntarily releas ed Atlanta from her seif imposed obli gation to build a new capifcol. Surely our kw makers deserve honor, and glo ry, and dominion aud power,—in an Atlanta horn,. Sunday.

MoLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPBrSIA AND SICK HZADACH8. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. P AIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side: the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach- is affected with loss of appe tite and-sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend.the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted,. yet examination of the body, after death, has shown, the liver to have been extensively deranged: AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases oe Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For alTbUious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE of imitations. ' TLe genuine are never sugar coated. Every'box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Ds. McLane’s Liver Pills. The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills Bear the signatures of C. McLaxe and FlfmixG Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C.
