The great change in climate and in many other particulars has bad a most hap py effect on the health of this lady ■whenever she has tried it, and this may lead others in poor health to try the same remedy. Death of Col. Nathan McGehee. Another old and well-known citizen of Baldwin county, has passed away. Col. Nathan McGehee died last Sat urday about 5 o’clock, p. m., at the home of his half-brother, Mr. H. M. Rose, four miles north of this city. He was eighty years of age, and near ly the whole of his long life was spent in this county. In his younger days he was a man of wealth and influ ence. Well educated, polished in man ners, interesting in conversation, com manding in personal appearance, he was a favorite in society, and a leader in public affairs. He was an intelli- 6 ent, upright citizen, a high-toned onorable man, a true friend, a kind master. Since the war he has lived a retired life, and for several years previous to his death had not been to the city, though living only a few miles in the country. He never mar ried, and, so far as we know, was not a member of any church or society. His funeral took place at the residence of Mr. Rose at 2A o’clock, Sunday af ternoon, and be was laid to rest in the family burial ground at the old homestead. His ante bellurn friends have nearly all preceded him to the grave. CARNIVAL OF AUTHORS. It is intended to have a Carnival of Authors, at the Opera House, dur ing the first week in December, prob ably on the evenings of the 2d and 3d, for the benefit of the Baptist church. Any of the friends of this cause who would like to take part in the enter tainment, are cordially invited to send their names, with the name of author and character they may desire to represent, to Mrs. T. L. McComb, as soon as possible. Do not wait for a personal invitation, as time will not allow of the delay which this would necessitate. MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS. Whore's the Midway Business* Uii- ion? Is it true that the Milledgeville B- Union contemplates making a seaport town of the old Capital? Probably we will have in cur midst ere a great while a glass manufactory and a coal mine. An Act, The difference- casm sneers. -satire similes, sar- It is well understood that the Asy lum is a suburb of Midway, It is a superb suburb, though. (Printer do not spoil this pun,) We have ceased to use the expres sion, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” The typo almost invariably gets it “stronger” and this is misleading, for fiction seems to be the stronger, gen erally. Out of the quarter of a million of more or less crazy people in Georgia it was found necessary to commit on ly about 400 to the Asylum, during the past year. The remainder are still provided for at their homes and manage some way or another to es cape the De Lunatico Inquirandum. It is not improbable though, that sev eral thousand farmers will be run in next year—it is more than probable if this drouth should continue 6 months longer. That delightful fruit of the frosty season—the poor man’s special prop erty—is now ripe unto the harvest. Persimmon we call thee! It is not the easiest matter in the world sometimes to steer as clear of a boor and bully, as one would wish but it is well to remember, if possible, that that man is sure to lose, “Who fouls his hands with dirty foes, For where! no honor’s to be gained, TTfs thrown away in being maintain ed.” A very lonesome man was our es teemed storekeeper during the past week. He was all by himself at home, and seemed to take but little pleasure in life. As a matter of duty though, he fed the chickens and watered the cow, with all due regularity. While our genial 2nd Asst. M. D. is studying how to become poorer, this correspondent is studying how his avoirdupois may be increased—“So wags the world along.” You are right Mr. Editor, the peo ple of Baldwin should do all they can to strengthen their College, and in crease its power for good. It has a competent corps of teachers, but pa rents should bear in mind that com petent as they are, they have not yet learned how to manufacture “a silk en purse from a swine’s ear.” C. J. Peschall, President of the Jer sey Kennel Club—a club that owns nearly a quarter|of a million's worth of valuable dogs—and who is an author ity on matters relating to dogs, in an interview recently, with a report er of the Baltimore Sun, said: “In all my life, (and I have been a fancier of dogs since childhood) I have never seen a case of hydrophobia.” People get scared sick if a dog happens to put bis teeth in them. This talk about a dog having rabies when he froths and foams at the mouth, is sheer nonsense. Almost every case of this kind is the result of distemper which leaves in its track one of three symptoms, either paralysis of the body, during which a dog has no use of his legs; paralysis of the brain which causes a choking sensation and makes the dog froth, or it produces diarrhoea. One or the other of these is sure to follow distemper. Paralysis of the brain is what frightens pedes trians and policemen, when really there is no cause for alarm. A dog runs aimlessly and harmlessly because be is smothering^ and wants his breath. He could not bite if he want ed to. If he had hydrophobia, as doctors put it, he would not foam, on the contrary he would have a burn ing thirst.” I quote this much of Peschall’s re marks in this column from the fact that every summer, for several years, our people here have been more or less alarmed at the existence of the so-called hydrophobia, when in all probability, there has never been a genuine case of it in the country in years, if at all. A great many people doubtless think they know of cases of hydrophobia, but at the same time there is a no less number, who firm ly believe that the “Devil’s riding- horse” will spit in their eye and put it out. Let your fear of mad dogs cease and when you find your dog has dis temper give him copious doses of common salt and cure him .instead of killing him? MKRRIWETHER STATION. ) Nov. 4th, 1886.) Messrs. Editors:— The big Fair at Macon is about over, and everybody vs 111 go back to picking cottou, now. This city was well represented. We regret to learn that Mr. Robert Jen kins, Sr., had the misfortune to lose his ginhouse, 24 bales of cotton and a quantity of seed by lire. Thought to be incendiary. Measles are In full blast.
