TWO LIVES SAVED. Mrs, Pluvbc Thomas, of June City, Ill., was told by her doc¬ tors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her, and she says it. saved her life.

Elbkhton, Ua. , May 11—A tale of suffer ng aud brutal treat mem hv a son of his aged moth¬ er who was very feeble is report¬ ed near Wye he v ills, in this coun¬ ty. Jt seems from the reports of tne iieiglibuis of John Jlinton that he and his wife treated his mother shamefully. In the cold weather o d Mrs. Hinton was made to cut wood and carry wa¬ ter from a spring up a hill to the house when she was hardly able to walk. Hinton’s children were allowed to heather. Reports say that she seldom if over leceived enough to eat aud did not know what comfort was. JJHinton "fas sick and had a phy Rician attending him, and when the doctor tried to see tho old woman Hinton and his wife would not permit him to do so.

THE PROPOSED DUMMY LIME From Snapping Shoals to One ot Two or Three Points Now Under Consideration Should Bn Built to Conyers, the Most Accessible Point. Conyers wants the contempla¬ t'd dummy line from Snapping -dioals. The citizens of that dace will, we expect, decide up iii Conyers as the most accessi¬ ble of the different points con sidered. However, other points want it, as witness the following from the Jackson Argus : ‘The correspondent for the Ar gus Imd an interview with Hon \j F. 1 .ivingston on the subject He is very enthusiastic ovi rthe matter, lie says : ‘We aie go¬ ing to build the railroad’ It will be remembered that it was through the efforts of Col. Li' ingstou that, the Macon & Nor¬ thern road.was built. How about having Ibis rail* road extended to Jackson by ,:,v of Cedar R >ck ? When this uiili’Uri'l is completed, all the trade from the lower part of Henry and Newton countries, which hmetofoie has been com mvf to Jackson, will go to our sister ritv, Oonvers. Thus oi i merchants will lose all tho trade from that section.” Conyers must get the road, She isseveral miles nearer Suai > ping Slmals than Jackson, ai d as stated l>v tlie Argus, by gel¬ ling tin* road our merchants " ill secure the trade of tlu* section through which the road runs.

In some sections tne cattle have been affected with red water, and in others with murrain, and at the re¬ quest of the department the govern¬ ment at Washington has sent an expert to investigate tne causes of these dis eases, with a view of prevention, if possible, in the future. There is a grat ifying increase in the number of hogs, which encourages the iiope that onr farmers are determined to raise their own meat in the future. SUPPLIES. It is very gratifying to note the large per centage of farmers who have a fell supply of corn and hay now on hand. Let us hope that this is an indication of the beginning of a new era in our good old state, and that the day is near at hand when Georgia will cease to ira port food for man or beast from any other state in the Union. “RED WATER.” Report on Cafes Anion* Cnttl*\ With Krmedifl for Pr«rrntion nml Cure. Hox. ft T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture: Red water (lioema alhomo-a oriel, a disease affecting tlie bovine tribe com mou to al! sections of Georgia, and es pecially in the spring and summer months—a disease very fatal in its rav¬ ages—the reports from different sec¬ tions of Georgia during the last year would indicate that it has destroyed entire herds of cattle with no signs of abatement. In my recent visit to Cherokee coun¬ ty, I found three cases suffering with it. A cow belonging to Mr. Cole, one of Mr. Pitman’s, and one of Mr. Davis’. Mr. Roberts lost 14; Mr. Freeman lost four,. Mr. Barnes lost seven, Mr. Field lost 12; and many others lost, varying in numbers by the size of the hefds. The characteristic symptoms of the disease aro loss of appetite, standing sometimes with the back arched, inn coat looks rough and strong, bowels may be constipated, or the opposite, very loose, the discharges sometimes covered with mticous and again streak¬ ed with blood; the emissions of uriue at times will be red colored or coffee colored; the pulse is quick and wiry with high temperature, a good deal of nervous twitching in some cases. The treatment should be—Change the animals at once to another lot; give a complete change in feed; open the bowels with a quart of lard mixed with one or two ounces of spirits turpentine; give all tne stock a tablespoonful hypo phosphite of soda in feed morning and evening as an antiseptic measure; ona ounce chlorate of potash in a quart of v.-ater every four hours; drench in quart of water; give alternately with the potash every four hours a table ^Senlm^CoH ixieai The Tniffi strength with flaxseed aud half a dozen raw eggs every day, p m-e water and anything the animal will eat This disease has been verv fatal to rixising of cattle iu Georgia f or m any years, particularly the last two years.

This is a mistaken view of the entire sub ,iect. The main idea in reducing the cotton acreage is to devote more time •“ .“»* «** farmer independent.
