It is said that the cattle of
Stewart and W r ebster counties are
dying out rapidly from what the
people call “mad murrian.”
Some of them are very dangerous
while suffering, and one day last

one up with her horns after the
disease struck her. They gener¬
ally die out in twenty-four hours
after the attack begins.

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, January. 39, 1889.
Felton Grows Democratic.
Dr Felton is now one of tlie
stronggest organized democrats
in the State, and says lie “will act
in all matters with the organized
party.” He doubtless will be in
the race for Congress again, or, if
not, a candidate for governor two
years hence. Speaking of organ¬
ized democracy a few days ago
he said: “I am more and more con
vinced, as time demonstrates the
true situation, that thorough par¬
ty organization is essential to the
preservation of our true interests.
And with the advent of another
repnblican adminstration it ‘is
more important than ever, for the
reason that the race question will
loom up more prominently than
over. We should have nomina¬
tions for every office from govern¬
or down to bailiff.”

The merchants of Washington
have organized a board of trade.
It was organized for the mer¬

Macon will make a determined

It is a mistake to suppose the
term black man is offensive in
India. The natives of that coun¬
try pity the English for having
white faces, and formerly painted
their criminals white as a punish¬
ment.
If people were as kind to live
men as they sometimes are to
dead men there would be more
happy homes and fewer costly
funerals. Beef and potatoes be¬
fore death do more good in many

and floral tributes afterwards.

About Advertising.
The Covington Enterprise says
editorially: “Advertising has be¬
come a science as well as a neces¬
sity. No business man and no
town can prosper without an intel¬
ligent understanding of this es
sential element of success at the
present day. A town must adver
tise and some of our neighboring
towns have caught on and are ad
vertisidg vigorously and intelT
gently, as can be seen by the
amount of business done by them,
Advertising must be conducted
with intelligence and discrimina¬
tion. I11 the active business com
petitions which now prevail, it is
necessary that the merchant keep
his business well before the pub¬
lic by printer’s ink. Almost every
man has his own ideas about how
to advertise, but the experience of
the most intelligent advertiser is
that nothing pays so well as an
attractively displayed advertise¬
ment in the columns of the home
newspaper.
It is said that George Swords,

It is said that a man who was

Isaiah Brand Is Dead.
At the family burial ground of
the Brand family, near Logan
ville, Ga., last Monday, was laid
away the last remains of the old¬
est member of their long-lived
family, Isaiah C. Brand. He;was
born October 3, 1808, in Ogle
thorpo county, this state. His
J father, William Brand, moved to
Walton county, the place where
the deceased died, in 1826, and
( died at the old liomostead where
his son Isaiah also died, never
moving therefrom since 1S2G.
He had [born unto him eleven
chiklrdn, one 'J. T. at Lithomi ;
N. V. at Lavvrenceville; and E. W.
and B. T. Brand at Loganville.
The daughters are living in dif¬
ferent states. At the time of his
death he had eighty-three grand¬
children and twenty-four great
grandchildreu, making a family of
118. His father had 22 children
and their descendants are scat¬
tered from ocean to ocean. One
of the brothers of the deceased,
Cashuel Brand, died with 190
children, grand and great-grand,
and another, Jonas Brand, about
250.
The grandfather of the deceased
settled in [Virginia and one of liis
sons was for a long time editor of
the Richmond Whig, but the de¬
ceased was always a true and
tried democrat. He occupied an
humble sphere in this life, but he
was a man of strong native intel¬
lect and took great interest in all
the politcal fights and revolutions
of liis day, and was a leader of
men in liis own immediate bail¬
iwick. He was a justice of the
peace fof many years, and lie
administered law, not as it was
read to him from books, if it did
not coincide with liis ideas of jus¬
tice. He disregarded technicali¬
ties. His only rule was to require
parties to do unto others as they
would have others do unto them.
He was a generous-hearted man—
tender as a woman, but fearless as
a lion. His death removed from
earth the last direct offspring of
one of the most numerous fam¬
ilies and oldest settlers of either
Gwinnett or Walton counties.

When a hundred bottles of sar¬
saparilla or other pretentious
specifics fail to eradicate in-born
scrofula or contagious blood
poison, remember that B. B. B.

many seemingly incurable in
stances. Send to the Blood Balm
Co., |Atlanta, Ga., for “Book of
Wonders,” and be convinced. It
is tlie only true blood purifier.

Divorced Women.
Wbabbecomcs of divorced wo¬
men? A vast field of unexplored
territory is opened by the ques¬
tion. Just as mules are
supposed to seek for their death
some spot where no eye can be¬
hold them, so divorced women,
once divorced are believed to
withdraw to some mysterious Um¬
bo in which rest of those lives is
spent unobserved. But the Chi¬
cago Tribune has been at the pains
of collecting statistics about thorn,
and it finds that they can accur¬
ately be divided into the four fol¬
lowing classes:
Remarried within a year, 75 per
cent.; waiting for ah oiler, 10 per
cent.; fallen into evil ways, 10 per
cent.; devoted to celibacy, 5 per
cent.
These figures have been com¬
piled from a comparison of the
divorce lists with the marriage re¬
gisters; from the statements ot
judges, justices of the peace, cler¬
gymen, lawyers and court officials,
and from personal inquiry among
j those who have been divorced.
They can be accepted as fairly
and substantially correct.

The Milton Democrat says: One
of the most successful farmers and
hog raisers in this county says
Jiat the ivy bush, which grows on

He says when liis hogs have chol¬
era, lie procures an armfull of ivy
branches, puts them in a pot of
water and boils do*vn until tlie
water is very strong, which can be
told by the water turning yellow.
Mix meal or bran with the decoc¬
tion so as to induce the hogs to
eat it. Give to your hogs whether
sick or not. It will prevent chol¬
era in those not sick. The reme¬
dy is a cheap one and well worth
a trial,
