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 week one cow actually tore another one up with her horns after the disease struck her. They gener¬ ally die out in twenty-four hours after the attack begins. Eminent physicians every¬ where recommend Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral a§ the most reliable rem¬ edy that can he had for colds, coughs, and all pulmonary disor¬ ders. Ask your druggist for Ayer’s Almanac; it is the best publication of the kind, and full of information.

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.” Croupy all suffocations, night coughs tions of and the the throat common and lungs affec¬ quickly relieved Wine by Dr. J.

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.

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, the woll-known distillery man of Walton county, will move to Cov¬ ington this summer and operate a government distillery somewhere near town.

It is said that a man who was overloaded with “the orphan ma¬ ker” asked a hotel waiter in Cov¬ ington the other night “if the marshal had been there since sup¬ per?” The waiter told him ‘yes.

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. Pimples, Sores, Aci.es and Pains. 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. (Botanic Blood Balm) lias gained many thousand victories, in as 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. G. W. Messer, Howell’s X Roads, Ga., writes: “I was afflicted nine years with sores. All tho medicine I could take did ^ ^ good. I then tried B. B.

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. •rss Tlie stewart of the Lunatic Asylum, Col. Robert Humber, lias advised the Goverier that the work 011 artesian well will have to be discontinued. The Legisla¬ ture refused to make au appropri¬ ation asked for of $3,000 to carry tlie work on. The well has alrea¬ dy been sunk 950 feet at a coast of $5,000. John Gorham, of Crawfordville, is one of the most remarkable Bible readers in all tho land. On December 23rd last, he finished his forty-second reading of tlie entire New Testament and Psalms in 0110 year, eleven months and seven days. He is reading it his forty-fourth time now, in less than two years. His “age will be seventy-one years on his next brithday. The Milton Democrat says: One of the most successful farmers and hog raisers in this county says Jiat the ivy bush, which grows on tlie banks of all the streams of this section, will euro hog cholera. 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, Perhaps the youngest couple that ever married in Butts county was Mr. Allen and wife, who were joined in wedlock just before Christmas near Wortkville.
