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.

Business dull, but as good as any other inland town in Georgia, population con sidered. George Henderson objects to being called a bachelor ns he is willing to swear on a Greer’s Almanac that he is not over twenty-six, and that he wiii be married in 'i\- than fort’Lyenis. MMt Williams content witn xbe title of b iflieW, as tried every girl in two thousand miles of Hampton and the most of them have not yet given him the desired answer. A, J. Henderson is supplying the far mers witlx supplies on time, and they are happy. R. A. Henderson has a good stock of dry goods and groceries, which ho is sel rcmnrkably low for cash. The big church trial iu the Methodist Protestant church is over, the accused being acquitted, and everybody is glad. From Merriwethcr. Superior court—Judge Buchanan pre siding. •Take Russel (colored) goes to the pen itentiary for burglary. Rust in the wheat, and farmers talk gloomily of the fnture. Mr. Willis Norris has been awarded the contract for repairing the jail. . R. D. Adair announces as a candidate for County Treasurer, and so does Dr. j Anthony. The grand jury petitioned the Judge to adjourn court and let the farmers go to work in their crops. Mr. Reed, who escaped from jail last February, me in and delivered himself up o the sheriff. Another freshet—Rovill has withdrawn 1 from the gubernatorial race and will not serve if elected. The concert was well attended Wednes day night. Mrs. R. D. Render, Mrs. Simmons and Miss Anna Martin furnish ed charming music. The difficulty between Messrs. Rufus Johnson and Peter Strozier has been compromised without going into court. Dr. Cl. J. Anthony bus been appointed County Treasurer, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Air. Adams. *iarMß?S.

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 patch, “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.— Sold by all druggists. * 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. —— -♦-* -♦ —— At the dedication of .ho Confeder ate monument at Bowling Green, Ky, an Tuesday, the ex Federal soldiers united with the ax Confederal, s in do ing honor to the Confederate dead, while the graves of the Fed era: sol diers were decor,ate ; appropriately by the ex-Confederates. Don’t Regard It as a Catch-penny. 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- Orange. Reporter. 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.
