Prom The Sandersville Mercury.
Mr. Editor—On the 29th dav of
December, 1885, Mr. C. B. Hendrix,
one of the cleverest young men of
Milledgeville came to our city and by
due process of law, and in accordance
with all the usages of society, carried
away from our midst one of the lovli-
est and most amiable young ladies of
Sandersville. to-wit, Miss Lettie A.
Mitchell, thereby depriving Society of
her usefulness, and her friends the en
joyment of her companionship.
Such conduct was more than San
dersville could bear, so she resorted
to the laws of retaliation: she sent So
licitor General O. H. Rogers, her
chosen champion, to revenge her
wrongs. He did so nobly, and by his
winning smile and fascinating man
ners, won the heart and hand of the
“'Belle of the Old Capital," and on the
2nd day of June 1886, led in triumph
Miss Lura Dean Caraker to the “Hy-
menial altar where the vows were
taken which made “two hearts as one.”
After the "Honey moon” is over, San
dersville s society will be .augmented
by a valuable acquisition in the per
son of Mrs. Rogers as she treads her
future pathway with her devoted
husband; may it be brightened with
ever blooming flowers with no thorns
beneath the verdant leaves and fra
grant petals tfi pierce the hand that
plucks them. Sandersville sends her
best compliments to her sister city and
begs leave to say that we are* now
even. But provided Milledgeville is
dissatisfied in the transaction of her
retaliation let her send down her next
best young man; S. has several girls
who would grace any man's home as
a hostess and a few more young men
anxious for an opportunity to retal
iate.
Col. Rogers can say truthfully that,
but which few other men can, the
chief Executive of the United States
of America and myself were married
on the same day. Getting married is
an epoch in the life of all young peo
ple to which they look with the
proudest anticipations, all of which
is very nice, but after marriage comes
the "Tug" is the experience of “Dev-
EREAUX.” ■

reward of $150 for the arrest and de-

Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the part affected,

intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Ad

countv, sustained serious injuries last Milledgeville to be the permanent
seat of government. Under this
pledge, citizens had purchased of the
State and built a beautiful city, where
for sixty years, “the powers that be”
dwelt above suspicion. Between the
Yazoo fraud, perpetrated at Louis
ville, and the convict lease outrage,
developed at Atlanta, the abode of
Government at Milledgeville was as a
vale of purity between mountain
Saturday evening by an accident
which occurred as he left this city for
his home. He was in his buggy fol
lowed by his wagon, which was drawn
by a pair of mules. While going
down the hill on Hancock street,
leading to the river, the mules ran a-
wav with the wagon and crashed in
to the buggy, overturning it and
breaking it up. Mr. Durden was
thrown to the ground and entangled
in the wreck and perhaps—though it
seemed somewhat uncertain—was run
over by the wagon, which was consid
erably broken up. When he was ex
tricated, he was carried to the Oconee
House and Dr. Lockhart made an ex-
aminatiion of his wounds and dressed
them. We learn that the bone of his
right shoulder was broken—which is
a very serious injury—and two
three of the ribs were broken. He
was likewise badly injured about the
face and head and it was feared that
lie sustained internal injuries, the ex
tent or severity of which however
cannot probably be ascertained until
time shall make its developments con
cerning them.
Mr. Durden is upwards of sixty years
of age and his injuries are of so seri
ous a nature that the result will
doubtless cause his friends much anxi
ety.
Two days have elapsed since the
foregoing was written and we are
glad to state, to-day, (Monday,) that
Mr. Durden is said to be getting on
well, and that there seems to be no
reason to apprehend that he sustain
ed any serious internal injury.

“Gath” tells the following: “I knew
Henry Longfellow very well. He was a
consummate artist, but he had the person
al weakness of all literary people about
Boston. I recollect once sittiDg with
Lowell at the old College Hotel at Cam
bridge, when he said. “Just look at this
man corning across the street!” There
came Longfellow across, walking on his
heeis so as to keep his hoots from being
muddied. He had on a red necktie, a silk
vest of some fancy color, a coat of brown
or olive tint with a velvet collar, and fancy
gloves upon his hands. Dressed like a
sweii, it did look too tunny for a mau
of his intellect. But he was always
fastidious in that way. His concern for
financial and social success in life was
nearly as artistic as his poems.”
Railway travelers have all their
lives been annoyed by brakemen
opening the door of the car and yell
ing the name of the station in some
gibberish that no man could under
stand. They will now note with
thanks that the Mew York legislature
has taken note of this peculiarity of
railway men and has passed an act
making it compulsory on railway
companies to employ for the purpose
of announcing stations only such
persops as are able and willing to
speak distinctly and intelligently.
Though a Christian were to fail a
thousand times in the fight with evil,
he will never confess himself to be
conquered; as soon as he can get
breath, he will rise again and renew
the fight.—Zion's Herald.
Well said. So poor, sin-beset broth-
er, if you have fallen into sin, do not
be disheartened. Try it again. If
you stop trying that will show that
you are not a Christian, but as long as
you keep on trying there is hope.
You have been worsted in the conflict
but if you never give it up Christ will
never give you up.—Christian Index.

In 1867, the noble Jenkins fled there
from with the great seal of Georgia.
A Federal tyrant seized upon the offi
ces and rudely hurried them off to
Atlanta, where in 1868, Bullock's ma
rauders gave legal form to the rob
bery*. But hope survived, for
knew it was not Georgia, but
or j enemies, who did it. Stripped and
! crushed, she had faith in retribution.
I Georgia will come to her own again,
and then—our wrongs will
e«l, our rights vindicated. In 1877
Georgia came to her own, but a sister
city that had felt the oppressor's heel,
coveted our birth-right. The issue
was made. Eighteen hundred solid
votes unanimously* declared our right
—in vain. The outrage was confirm
ed. The wrong was no less w*rong—
the pang more cruel indeed, because
inflicted, now, by our kindred, our
race, our countrymen, because the
haft of the fatal dagger was in the
hands of Gordon. Atlanta, exul
tant over her unhallowed victory,
gave full pardon to all, who opposed
her—save one. The silly rumor gain
ed credence in that citv, that a dis
tinguished citizen of Macon, in his
zeal for Milledgeville, had actually

In addition to the above named
parties many of our own citizens
have used this Chill Remedy and in
