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.” ■ Governor McDaniel has offered a reward of $150 for the arrest and de- hvery of John Simmons to the Sheriff of Monroe county.

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, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting a per manent cure.

CLEARING SALE —OF ALL Milliner (Ms. —FOR— Mr. James Durden, of Hancock i Mine years ago the State was con-1 vulsed with the issue, whether the j Government should be restored to her ! ancient historic seats on the banks of i the Oconee, or the outrage of its re- j moval should be accepted. Long years before the General Assembly, by solemn enactment, had declared Personal. 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. Hon. T. J. Simmons, judge of the Macon circuit, Col. L. F. Livingston, president of the state agricultural society, Hon. F. S. Johnson, mayor pro-temof Macon, Col. Lee Jordan, of Dougherty county, Hon. H. S. Feagin. of Houston county, andahost of other gentlemen of like character and high standing in the state, cheer fully endorse Hall's Georgia Chill Remedy as a certain and permanent cure for chills and fever. As a tonic it has no equal. Those suffering from headache or periodical neuralgia will find immediate relief from its use. Mo medicine ever introduced has met ranges of corruption. In 1864 Slier-' wit . h such an immense sale in so short “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 the path of philosophy, woman has seldom strolled to much* distance, but when times are t ght she can go to the market with a dollar bill and come back with more comfort in a basket than a man could crowd into a twe-horse wagon, if told to back up and help himself.—Irwinton Souther ner. man's bummers desolated our city*. 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 a time as Hall's Georgia Chill Reme dy. In addition to the above named parties many of our own citizens have used this Chill Remedy and in dorse it as a certain cure. For sale by John M.
