LAURA WASHINGTON ON A RAMPAGE
Justice Jossey gazed on Laura Vash
ir.atou yesterday, and Laura gazed back
upon the Justice. Miss, Washington is
not handsome, but her anatomy went far
to prove that she could be guilty of
“force of arms,” the charge upon which
t-he was arraigned. Laura had demolish
ed a small boy belonging to oi* Cl. uy
Chum, and on that principle of equity,
‘‘to the victor belongs the spoils,” had
robbed Chum’s descendant of a jug
of molasses and other commissaries,
wherewith to support herself during
these unprecedented times.
Laura is an old offender, a public
spirited citizen, and this onslaught on
the Churn’s, father and son, is no new
tactic in her military record. She had
just finished a sentence of twenty days
off the streets, and them attempted to
finish the Chum larder in one day and
succeeded.
McDaniel and Alford appeared for the
Chum family, while Col. Thurman head
ed the Washington defense, and the ac.
tion grew warm. Washington’s attor.
ueys threw hot shot and a good
many of them, but the Court
wiped its specs, winked its face and the
verdict was rendered against Miss Lau
ra. The Chums smiled, the witnesses
looked sad, while the female Washing
ton was sent tip on a shutter in default
of §SOO bail, to have an interview with a
higher court. Exeunt Chums.
Express Change.
Col. Logan informs us us that anew
express schedule will go iuto effect on
this road after to-day. The south bound
express will be carried by the day train,
thus giving ua the up and dowu express
freight in the day time as of old. The
change is acceptable to the agent and to
those who do business with the company.
New Paper.
The material, presses, type, etc., of
the Newnan Star has been sold to some
parties at Sandorsville, Ga., who will
soon commence the publication of anew
paper at that place to be called t;h San
dersville News. Mr. John M. Huff, for
merly of this city, will have charge of
the mechanical department of the new
enterprise.
Valuable Property Fur Sale.
We call special attention to the adver
tisement of Commissioner’s sale in an
other column. The property for sale is
one of the most valuable pieces of prop
erty in the State. It is near the corpor
ate line of the city, with good residence,
out houses, etc.

A correspondent, signing himself G.
G. Flynt, writes an angry letter to the

plot, they ought to be damned." Mr.
Flynt was a policy holder.

THE HABAbM AMI ERIE CANAL
The old Waive sb and Erie canal is
to be sold fco-.’ay at Terre Haute Inch
its usefulness having passed away
with the complcction of the railroad
system of Ind. and the stockholders
who have invested §15,000,000 in tin
work having become anxious to re- J
ize something on the venture, which
has proven calamitous. V. hen Ind*
iana was bankrupt in 1841, and owed
$14,000,000, her creditors surrendered
the bonds of the State and received
for every, bond of SI,OOO, SSOO in
States five per cent, stock and SSOO
in Wabash and Erie stock, and for the
accrnded interest (about $3,000,000)
one*half in two and a half per cent.
State stock and one-half in two and a
half per cent, canal stock the canal
stock creditors having the custody of
the canal and its operation in trust
for twenty years from January 19,
1846. Since the expiration of she
limit,however,there has been a chronic
quarrel in Indiana between the State
and the creditors holding canal svock,
who wanted the State to resume con
trol of the canal, which has become a
very large elephant. The. State has
failed to do this, and the canal trus
tees have taken the step which will
culminate to'day in the sale of the
canal and its franchise and appear
ances. The trustees have also brouf ht
a suit to test the responsibility of the
State to the stockholders, claiming
that the canal was only transferred to
them to secure the old indebtedness
of the Stato to them. Half the canal
stock is held in Europe, the Roths
childs being among the number of the
stockholders. Efforts have been re
peatedly made to secure appropria
tions to repair the canal and make it
a highway for commerce, but with-
out success. The canal is obstructed
through much of its course, embank
ments have given away, and as a wa
ter highway it is not a sucees. ’ The
railroads have killed it. It was de
signed to boa permanent commercial
channel from Toledo, on lake Erie to
the Ohio river, and for many years it
fulfilled its mission.

Woman’s Best Friend.— To relievo the
acbiag heart of woman and briug joy
where sorrow reigned supreme, is a mis
sion'before which the smiles oi kings
dwindle into utter insignificance. To do
this is the peculiar province of Dr. J.
Bradfield’s Female Begulator; which
from the numberless cures it has accom
pltshed, is appropriately styled Woman’s
Best Friend. The distressing complaint
known as the “whites,” and the various
irregularities of the womb, to which wo
man is subject disappear like magic be
fore a single bottle of this wonderful
compound. It is prepared by L. H.
Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Gs., and
sold at $1.50 per bottle by respectable
Drug men everywhere. Physicians pre
scribe it. Its action is prompt, sure and
decisive.
NOW IN I’EEFECT HEAJjTH.
Near Marietta, Ga., March 21, 1870
Messrs. Wsi. Boot & Sons.—Gentle
men:—Some months ago I bought a bot
tle of Bradfield’s Female Begulator
from you, and have used it in my family
with the utmost satisfaction, and have
recommended it to three other families
and they have found it just what it is
recommended. The females who have
used your Begulator are now 7 in perfect
health, and are able to attend to their
household duties, and we cordially rec
ommend it to the public.
Yoars respectfully,
Bev. H. B. JOHNSON.
Mr, Orth has been nominated for
Governor of Indiana, and he is ex
pected to come home and take the
stump, leaving the Vienna mission va
cant. Here is a first class opening
for somebody needing a vindication.
There are no more brothers-in-law
around, we believe, and the Force bill
Congressmen are all provided for; but
there is Delano out of a place, and the
President might send him. Or, there
is Cowan, or Magrue, or Boss Shep
herd, or best of all—Babcock. Bab
cock is the most needy of the whole
set, and as his usefulness seems to be
somewhat impaix-ed at home, the Pres
dent could hardly do better than send
to Austria. We ask nothing for the
suggestion.
A PA RUNG SHOT.
The press of Louis'ile and Cincins
nati, find it hard to forgi e he slight
put upon them by the National Dem
ocratic Committee, in selecting St.
Louis as the place at which the Dem
ocratic Convention mi s? hold its fit
ting- Even the Courier- Journal, a
paper whose concurrar ce in and de
fi-tnie of Democratic action, good or
T’-d, has become proverbial, speaks
1 -t and urges what, for so able a
journal, will bo deemed unworthy op‘
position to the committee’s action.
Hear it:
It is unfortunate that the Democra*
cy, or rather a Democratic committee,
should have chosen a sickly town,
pred sp sed to convoluted highwines
and offering opposition to the publi.
cation of the nows, as a place for hold
ing a convention. Indianapolis, being
within a short distance of Louisville
and possessing a uuion depot, had
much stronger claims on the consid
eration of the committee than St.
Louis; and Nashville, too, would have
been a good place. If tho party, in
addition to its other burdens, lias to
take on Reavis, Uncle Sam may as
well make up his mind to get iuto his
incarnadined apparel for another four
years.
LET SO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE
The New York Sun makes this ital
icized declaration; “ It is well known
that testimony was witheld from the
grand juries in Chicago and Mill,
waukee that on a trial would he
apt to send several Republicans sen.
ators, ex'senators and representatives
to the penitentiary." And now who
are the senators, ex-senators and rep
resenatives who are thus hair-hung
and breeze-shaken over the yawning
mouth of the’ penitentiary? There is
little or no doubt that institution is
justly entitled to a few rascals of that
c diber. and its rights should no long,
er be witheld- Let no guilty man es
cape.
BLEEDING I-ROM LUNGS. CaTA!?!>!!,
BRONCHITIS, CON U.MCMON \
VrONEERFUL (CHE.
Rochester, NY, /
Jan. 13th, 1874 j
R. V. Pierce, NT. D , Buffalo. N. Y:
Jean kir:- —1 had sutured from Ca
tarrh in an aggravated form for about
twelve years and for several years from
Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors
and things with no lasting benefit. In
May ’72, becoming nearly worn out with
excessive editorial labors on a paper in
New York Cith, I was attacked with
Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering
almost a total loss of voice. I returned
home here, but had been home only two
wei-ks when I was completely prostrated
with Hemorage from the Lungs, having
four severe, bleeding'spells within two
weeks, and first three inside of nine dags.
In the September following, I improved
sufficiently to be able to be about, tlio’
iu a very feeble state. My Bronchial
trouble remained and the Catarrh was
tenfold worse than before. Every effort
fer relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to
be losing ground daily. I continued in
this feeble state, raising blood almost
daily until about the fitst of March, ’73,
when I became so bad as to be confined
to the house. A friend suggested your
remedies. But I was extremely skepti
cal that they would do me good, as I had
lost all heart iu remedies,and began to
look on medicine and doctors with dis
gust. However, I obtained one of your
circulars, and read it carefully, from
which I came to the conclusion that vou
understood your business, at least. .! fi
nally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Bemedy, your Goldeu Medical
Discovery and Pellets, and commenced
their vigorous use according to direc
tions. To my surprise, I soou began to
improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in
a short time, brought out a severe erup
tion, which continued for several weeks.
I felt much better, my appetite improz’-
ed, and I gained in strength and flesh.—•
In three months every vestige of the Ca
tarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had near
ly disappeared, had no Cough whatever
and I had entirely ceased to raise blood;
j and, contrary to the expectation of some
! of my friends, the cure has remained
! permanent. I have had no more Hem
' orrliages trom the lungs, and am entire-
I ly free from Catarrh, from which I had
suffered so mdeh and so long. The. debt
; of gratitude I owe for the blessing I have
! received at your hands, knows no bounds.
| I an thoroughly satisfied, frtyn my ex
j perience, that your medicines will mas
i ter the worst forni3 of that odious dfs
-1 ease Catarrh, as well as Threat and Lung
i Diseases. I have recommended them
; to very many and shall ever speak in
| their praise. * Gratefully yours,
WM. H. SPENCER.
