Dear Sir./ —We send you by this
mail a copy of “Constitution of the
Confederate Survivors’ Association
ot Georgia.” Ail organization is
desired in every county, and where
it is preferred, they may be more
than ena in the county. Will you
lo@k after this matter, by making a
call fur a meeting of Confederate
Veterans for ill a purpose ol organ
izing.
The above was sant to Judge
Hill a few days ago,
A fine constitution may be ruiised
by simple neglect. Many bodily
ii Is result from habitual constipa
tion. There is no medicine equal
to Ayer’s Pills for restoring the
system to natural and healthy
action.
Mr. J. W. Meaders and his and mgh
ter, Miss Florence, of Fannin coun
ty, Tex., paid this oilice a pleasant
-all Tuesday morning. Mr, Mead
ors and his daughter are on a visit
to his bis parents and a large num
ber of relatives, all of whom most
ly reside in this county. Mr.
Meaders intends taking his parent i
with him to Texas, where they
will make their future home -with
him and his family, and, in order
to do tills, has advertised J is fath
er’s farm for sale on the 16lh of
tip's month.
Mr. Me tders gives a glowing de
scription of the Lone Star state of
the West. The writer is much
pleased with the acquaintance of
Mr. Meaders, and trust he and his
accomplished daughter, Miss Flor
ence, may enjoy their visit most
pleasantly. But the people will
regret very much to give up his
parents. The old veterans are
life-long citizens of this county.

A.s mentioned in last issue, the
murderer of William Brewer was
not known. Since that time Tom
Langston has been comihitted to
jail on the charge. The evidence is
•circumstantial; Four o’clock
on the morningof the killing Lang
slon was at the grocery with a gun.
From tiiere he went to Mr. Ace
Caudell’s and taken breakfast—
told Caudell he had # been down to
the grocery to collect $3 Brower
owed him—was drinking—said
Brewer paid him, and as the morn
ing was cold gave him a drink.
Brower was found about 9 o’clock
that' morning in his grocery dead.
The door was pulled to xfter the
murder.
Langston is a married man and
had been working on the farm of
j Mr. Ace Caudell. lie is a small
man-—weight about 130; ng /about
35—©fa Brunette type, lias the
appearance of anything but a mur
derer. He was raised in this sen
don. At times it is thought he is
a little off. It is hard to kdi \vhf
will be the decision of the Superior,
court. The crime is a capital one.
and nothing but capital punish
ment should pay the pena'ty of
the guilty party or parlies, whoev
er he or they may be.
Chroniccatan h usually indicates
a scrolulous condition of the system
and should be treated, like chrome
ulcers and eruptions, through the
blood. This disease has been cured,
in hundreds ot cases, by the use of

New (Means, Dec. I.—There was
no change today in Mr Jefferson Da
j vis’ vonoition. He Continues to relusa
j nourishment and grows weaker
! from day to day. Under the present
i conditions the next two or three
! days will determine his tale. Dr.
I Beckham, one of Mr, Davis’s phy
sicians, does not think he will ever
recover from his present attack.
There is not likely, however, to be
a sudden change in him, butaslow
I wasting away frem weakness, uu
less his illness should take a mark
ed change for the better.
Mr. Davis’ condition is unchanged
from that of yesterday. He is very
weak. Mr. Davis’ physician to
night regards the condition ot his
patient somewhat belter than last
bight.

Dr. Dixon cot ri burkshot from John
Coffee's neck'yesterday.
It was a regular blue whistler, and
was one of a charge that was fired iato
his fa- e and usete whan he waxarrested
some months a go. The bullet was irn
beded in the muscles or the left side of
Coffee's neck sDd has never given him
aay serious inconvenience until lately,
when it has pained him a good deal.
\esterday Dr D.xon was called to
see him, and he examined the wound,
aud foand that the ball could be taken
out with very littia trouble. Coff-e was
not put under the influence of any
aneasthetio, and the operation was per>
formed with very iittle pain.
There is no telling how many more,
large and small, are ltnbeded in th.j
body of the stalwart saountaineot, but
that particular shot vrul not worry
him any more.

I nt.ver lent >ert any money, so I
don't know whether ton would pay
