NOW, GIVE ATTENTION
To the purification of your blood,
for at no season is the body so
susceptible to the benefits to be
/rived from a good medicine, as
in March April and May. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is the people’s fav or
ite spring medicine. It stands
unequalled for purifying ihe blood,
curing’ scrofular, suit rlicuni, etc.,
regulating the kidneys and liver,
repairing nerve tissues, strength¬
ening and invigorating the whole
body, as well as checking the
progress cf acute and chronic dis¬
ease, and restoring the afflicted
parts to a natural, healthy condi¬
tion. If you have never tried
Hood’s Sarsparilla for your
“spring medicine,” do so this sea

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1889.
LONGSTREET’S LO$S.
On Tuesday night last Gen.
Longstreet’s dwelling, with its en¬
tire contents, was distroyed by tire.
Fire broke out at 12 o’clock and
consumed his house near Gaines¬
ville. His loss is about eight
thousand dollars and it is a very
severe blow to the old soldier.
There is not a man who will fail
to sympathize with General Long
street in this misfortune.
The house was a large two story
framed structure about a mile from
Gainesville. It stood on the crest
of a hill and overlooked a valley
which was filled with trees. From
the front veranda the eye would
•take in a long sweep of green, be¬
yond which were picturesque hills
and further still were the beautiful
Blue Bidge mountains. There is
hardly anywhere in Georgia a
more beautiful or inspiring view.
We hope the general is able to
rebuild his house. It was a
pleasant place in which to spend
the closing years of a long and
eventful life. But we fear he will
not be able to do so, as he had no
insurance.

The editor of the Ilinesville
Gazette has in his possession the
old compass with which the village
of Ilinesville was laid out just fifty
years ago. Mr. John W. Stacy
the father of Bev. James Stacy,
D. D., of Newnan, and Mr. T. G.
Stacy of Brunswick, was the sur¬
veyor. His work was very accu¬
rate, and the needle of the old
compass is still true. Quite a
number of boys in the Brad well
Institute in the past sixteen or
seventeen years have been inducted
into the mysteries of surveying
with the aid of this old compass.
A town may be correctly jud
ged by its newspapers. If they
are full of news, well edited and
well printed, and if they are lib

it is safe to assume that the town
is a well governed and prosperous
one, and that its people are ener
getio and thrifty. The weekly
press, as a whole, is a power in
moulding public opinion, because
it finds its way into almost every
home.—Savannah News.

JAMES SOCKWELL DEAD,
Mr. James Sockwell of this
county died last Wednesday night
after a lingering sickness,
Drs. Rosser and Guinn of this
place made a post mortem exarni
nation of Mr. Sockwell on last
Thursday afternoon. It was his
dying request that this examina
tiou he made; and he gave as his
reason that, while it could do him

A young divine tells a story of

ceremony, slipped ft $2 bill into
his hand, murmuring, apolgetic

For a squirrel a men cut down
a large popular tree ois the place
of Col. T. C. Zftchry, at peach

the tree cut and sawed uud sold
the lumber for $40 cash.
A good joke is related of a sis¬
ter belonging to a church of Cov¬
ington, who was devotedly attach¬
ed to her pastor, and piously
taught her children to reverence
the minister above all men. They
were strictly and conscientiously
taught that, when speaking of him
in comparison with other men or
things, ho must always be excep¬
ted us the greatest and best.
This rule was so rigidly adhered
to by the good mother, and the
children were so punctiliously
trained with rogard to their high
esteem and partiality for the min¬
ister, that they never spoke of
any one or anything without al¬
ways adding the ouo exception.
Now, it so happened one day that
one of the little boys who was a
precocious youngster of 6 years
was out playing in the fields near
his home, and discovered an im¬
mense hog grazing in the pasture,
when he became alarmed and ran
to the house with all the swift
ness his little legs could carry him.
Upon reaching the “parental ha
veil oi safety,” and almost out of
breath, he called to his mother
with ail the animation and ardor
of his boyish nature: “Oh! mam¬
ma! I saw the biggest hog down
yonder in the field that I over saw
iu my life—except our minister!”
