The Kendrick Case.
Kendrick’s friends are arranging bail
for him, and he will soon be at large.—
The Enquirer still gloats over this poor
victim of emotional insanity, and as the
easo has been the only news item in Cos
lnmbus for a month, wo suppose the cd
itors are excusable to a certain extent,
though we can see no reason why they
should continually haunt the jail to see
how he is getting along. They seem to
grumble becair . he don’t pine away and
die. Instead f that, ho takes hi.-t ra
tions regularly, .ml says lie is innocent.
This is consii, red a sign of moral de
pravity. If la' should pine away uud
die, it would be attributed to remorse,
Bo tlint in eitaer case Kendrick can’t suit
the Columbus papeis.

Capital Notes
By way of encouragement, wc copy the
following pnff of the Atlanta Constitu
lion from the Butts County Argus :
“We invite attention to the proposi
tions of this enterprising journal, (the
Atlanta Constitution ) By the exercise
of well directed energy iu the busmens
department, and discreetness and liber
ality iu editorial management, the Con
stitution has grown to be one of the
newspaper powers of the State, ind he
iug located at the cupito], it eujoys su
perior advantages as anew gatherer.”
Atlauta fears she cau’t get Moody
there, and we don’t blame Moody. It
would take Spurgeon, Henry W. Beech
er and 001. Kemlrick altogther, to loosen
the hide of that awful Gomorrow.
Dr Leftwich, one of the ablest pulpit
orators of the South, has resigned his
charge in Atlanta, and accepted a call to
Lexington, Virginia.
Mr. Finch, the head and brains of the
Constitution, has gone to the Centennial
to be absent two months. He will write
letterß to his paper, nnd we know they
will be highly interesting.
The report that Col. Acton, of the
Constitution, went to sleep on the side
walk in Tliomaston, and ‘'larded the
earth” of that town with his perspira
tion, is not believed by the Young Mens'
Christian Association of Atlanta.
The African Methodist Conference
still continues to perfume religious cir
cles iu Atlanta. Wo have the 7th day’s
proceedings before us.
The girl who got the paper containing
the Columbus scandal into her hustle is
now the belle of Atlanta.
The Atlauta girls are practicing the
Centennial kiss, one hundred to the
breath. We have chained one of our
boyp toj.ee.- him away from those girls-
Ti.. f|"v jjition lias a “ring” editori
al, but blamed ti we can tell what it
means. Tf the eleven editors would step
across tha street and get sorno of Wad
dell’s -‘law latin,” things would appear
plainer,
The Constitution still insists that Ben
Hill represents the ninth district of
Georgia, and not Manhattan Island. As
nobody has disputed this proposition,
the gallant stand taken by the “organ”
is worthy of great commendation.
The “organ” says Gov. Smith favors
Tilden as Democratic candidate for Pres
ident. Now if the “organ would let us
know who the Governor favors for the
Republican candidate the people would
breathe easier.
We had some hope of the Atlanta Com\
monwealth until it quoted Habakkuk as
Bible authority. Now everybody knows
that Col. H. was only a subordinate offi
cer in tho Ku Klux oiganization and
knew very little about Holy writ.
A refreshing prayer saeeting is now
going on in Atlanta and we rejoice at it.
By this mail we send up several names
as special objects of prayer. If they can
be captured before Moody gets there it
will save the city a million of dollars.
The Atlanta Grange proposes to pub
lish a serial narrative, commonly called
a tale. We suppose the hero will be a
granger on a grass-fed mule, and the
heroess a female with a bundle of fodder
in her mouth belching forth a volume of
smoke in favor of direct trade. We
await the advance sheets with breathless
anxiety.
In the House of Representatives on
Tuesday, on motion of Mr. Lamar,
j the vote of censure heretofore passed
by the House on John Young Brown,
of Ky.. was expunged from tho re
cord— that is, sd much of it as charg
ed him with prevarication. Mr.
Blaine and Mr. Hoar, leading Repub
lic.ans, advocated the resolution, and
it was adopted unanimously. The
resolution of censure was passed by
the last House—a Republican body.—
Well done, Blaire !— Richmond Dis

“P CIS AHE STUBBORN THINGS.?
Thousands of human beings are year
ly borne on the swift current of disease
down to the grave, just because they do
not popsess a sufficient knowledge of
ihemselves. A man meets his neighbor,
and the first salutatiou is, “How are
you ?” or “how is your health ?” The
reply frequently is, “Oh, I am will, with
‘he exception of a cold.” Most persons
lightlp regard a cold. Reader, do you
kuow that a cold is one of the most dan
gerous of maladies ? A cold not only
clogs up the pores of the eDtire system,
and retards circulation, hut it is produc
tive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to
lead to Consumption. “Oh,” you say,
“it is nothing but a cold in my head.”—
L'rue, bdt that cold is really a mild form
of Catarrh, and if not arreßted in its
course will become chronic.. Catarrh is
one of the most disagreeable, offensive
affections iu the catalogue of diseases.—
The passage to the nose is obstructed,
the sense of smell impaired, and there
is o disagreeable sensation of the head
Iu the more advanced stages, there is a
discharge having au offensive odor. If
the disease is allowed to continue in its
course, thick, bard iuerustations ’-/ill
term in the head, the bones of which
sometimes become softened and break
away in pieces. Why will persons con
tinue to suffer from snob au annoying,
disgusting disease, wbeu they can just
us well be cured of it ? Dr. Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms
of Catarrh ; in fact it is the ouly safe
and sure remedy which has yet oeen of
fs ed to the public. Mary harsh, irri
rating preparations may, for a time, re
lieve the urgency of the symptoms, but
they do not ci> -e the disease. Dr. Sa e’s
Catarrh Remedy is soothing and healthy
in iis effects, aud wheu used with Dr.
Pierce’s Nasal Douche, according to di
actions, does not fail to effect a cure.—

* Barnesville Notes.
Boh Powell is commander-in-chief.
Hi aff- >rd says he sell goods within three
miles of Griffin- These are chaps whose
credit played out here several years ago.
Young Stafford is building a fine resi
deme, which will eclipse in elegance the
beautiful house recently erected by his
father.
Several new houses are going up in
Barnesville. aud tho place looks thrifty
and prosperous.
John Pounds’ whisky will kill. So
they say.
Wo know something more about
Barnesville, which has never appeared in
the local paper.
Gen. Stafford is going to the Centen
nial in a special car. Smith &, Somers
are manufacturing tho ear.
The ouly objection we have to Barnes
ville is its shape. It looks like it was
originally designed from arf.i In: i t
e.Seun<3 n Norib Carolina horse Widish,
Gordon Institute is one of the best
constructed anti most conveniently ar.
r: ged institutions of learning in the
S.ate. There are at present 152 students
in attendance.
Smith & Sommers, the carriage mak
ers, ere tho most enterprising men we
know of. They manufacture all kinds of
VBhicles|equnl to the best northern work,
from a baby carriage to a hears©, or as
the genial Somers hath it, from the cra
dle to the grave. They have a thousand
dollar hearse of their own manufacture,
and they propose to take their hearse
with fine horses attached, and bury any
body free of charge who will buy his
coffin from them. They sell fine burial
eases at the same prices that they cost
in the larger cities, and will servo par
ties needing their services at a reasonable
distance in the country. This is a grave
subject, but at the eamo time, one that
sooner or later must be considered by
all, both great and small, and we think
this enterprise of Messrs. S- & S. is wor
thy of special mention.
The girl who capsized in tho skating
rink at Murphy’s hull the other night,
wore No. 1$ (Belknap size) gaiters and
penitentiary patterned stockings. Still
she was not discouraged, and told the
manager to “set ’em up again.”
Hunt, keeps the hotel, and a good one
it is, but frequently you have to hmilf a
long time to find anybody to pay a bill
to. The reckless worth of garden vege
tables and canned mackerel about that
place will plunge the proprietor into
bankruptcy, sooner or later, unless bo
keeps somebody about the office to col
lect fares.
Gardens and patches about Baruesville
look splendid ; also the numerous youDg
lawyers and other vegetables.

Braixfield’s Female Regulator.—
Wo have often read in the newspapers
of the graud success of medical com
pounds put up at the North aud else
where. Many of those medicines have
bid their day, and we hear no more of
them. Their proprietors have made
fortunes, not so much from their cura
tive powers and virtues of their mixtures
as from the noioriety given them by ad
vertising, by which people were made
to believe all the good that were said of
them. A preparation is now before the
public which is becoming very popular
and is known as Bradfield’s Female Reg
ulator, put up by L. H. Bradfield, of At
lanta, Ga ,at§l 50 per bottle. Such is
its curatives virtues that it has gained
wide-spread popularity all over the
country where it has been made known,
and it is being introduced everywhere.
We are informed that immense quauti
ties of this medicine are being sold iu all
sections of the South nnd Sonthwest, es
pecially in the city of New Orleans aud
in Texas.
This much we say in justice to its pro
prietor, who is a gentleman of integrity,
and who would not engage in the manu
facture and sale of a humbug.— La-

TWO MILES BEFORE BREAKFEABT.
In a ueighboring city in Georgia, there
is a married woman, who, after her third
confinement, had ulceration, with all its
repulsive symptoms. She tried in vain
all the nostrums; her husband car
ried her to all the famous mineral
springs, went with her to New York,
Philadelphia and other places, to consult
eminent obstetricians, to no purpose.
After the use of the fifth bottle of Reg
ulator, she has been fully restored to her
former health and happiness, and is now
the joy of the household—is able to walk
two miles before breukfast.
