Tri-Weekly Republican, THTTBBPAY, FEBURARY 14, 1867. Official Organ. This paper is the official organ for publish ing the legal advertisements of Sumter, Lee, Webster, Schley and a portion of Macon and Dooly Counties. Advertisers would do well to notice this, and govern themselves accord ingly.

Didn't Like His Company.—MunceGucr ry, a freedman, who has been in the habit of taking horses and mules from the lots ot his neighbors, without leave, was arrested in Dooly county, last Tuesday, by officers lUi fokd and Mitciieli,, who were bringing him to the city, but when'within a few miles of this place, the negro, taking advantage ot those having him in charge, while they were partaking of some refreshments, jumped from the buggy and took to the woods, ma king his escape, and before the horse could be stopped, the negro was non cst in jsteainpo. We are informed that he confessed to a numberjof persons, that lie was the one who killed Daniel Coffee, in this place on the night of the 25th of December, 1805, and whose death has remained a mystery up to the present time. -Said Munch, is very black, between 25 and 30 years of age.aboul five feet, ten inches high, and supposed to weigh between 150 and 100 pounds, lie has a heavy moustache and small whiskers. We are requested to state that a liberal reward will be given Ibr his apprehension and delivery to the Marshal of this city. fiST'Grnnd reduction in price of Goods at Waxei.iiauh it Duo’s. Feb. 12 lw. Valentine Dav. —To-day the lltli of February, is the day sacred to St. Valen. tine, of whom, it is known by tradition, that be was a holy priest of Home, who, with Sr. Marius, suffered persecution under Claudius 11. Ho was arrested by tint Emperor and -sent to the Prefect, at Rome, who, on finding all bis efforts to make him renounce his faith, ineffectual, caused him to be beaten with clubs and afterwards behead ed. This unceremonious shortening of his status, occurred on the 14ih of February and hence the origin of the festival of St. Valentine. But what connection this holy Priest can ever have had with love-making, we have never been able to discover, unless it is that about this time the Ice -King be gins to give way to thebalmy breathings of, gentle Spring, earl_v vegetation commences.' and the birds, afler a long semi-torpid holi day, be: in to mate, anil comm nice house keeping for the season. The practical joking which prevails so universally, on or about the 'middle of this, month, the lovc-cf fun, and caricature with Cupid, is-of comparatively modern date.— ■Formerly, IcfYv-unakiug of our sober progen Xtors wore a much more grave and demure -aspect; it was not a matter to be trifled with that of linking hearts and hands, with -the joint fortunes and misfortunes of life. These reflections arelhe result,that to day many a one wit! receive a nice little billet ■doux, wherein may be found small Cupids, with wings, bows arid arrows, nestling-in rosy “bowers, in ambuscade, to send the.fatal dart 'to some unsuspecting victim. A Sensation. —Quite a stir was created among our citizens on Tuesday last, by the ■appearance in our midst, of a gentleman by 'the name of Snipes, of Upson county, who •said be came witli authority, as Assessor and Collector for the State oi Georgia, for ■the purpose of collecting the Provisional tax for the year 18C2. This included all prop erty owned at that time. Mr. Snipes issued i handbills, stating that he had been appoint ed Assessor and Collector for the State, by a Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, Chief Asses sor and Collector, for the United States of America ; and calling upon the citizens to pay said tax. Similar handbills were printed for the counties of Schley, Marion, Webster, Stew art and Chattahoochee, which places Mr. Snipes expected to visit, after getting thro’ with the couuty of Sumter. Our citizens, doubting the authority of Mr. S xipes, to act in the premises, refused to, obey the call made upon them, whereupon I the Assessor and his Assistant, Mr. Henkv Scabbouoc oh, of Schley, left Hr that coun ty. We examined the papers of Mr. Snipes, and were not satisfied as regards the gen uineness of the documents, lie may have been appointed to the office for what we know, hut his papers are ■evidently not fixed up in such a manner, as would authorize one to re cognize him as the Assessor and Col’ector for said tax. He had no authority emanating from a higher source than this Mr. Patter son, of Tennessee, showing his appointment. We know not who this Mr. Patterson is, but Mr. Snipes represents him as being the brotber-iu-law of President Johnson. This, we think, is a mistake. We know the Pres ident ha3 a son-in-law by the name of Pat. terson, who resides in Washington City; but we have never heard of him having a brother-in-law by that name. Our citizens arc always ready to pay all taxes exacted of them by those in authority, but in this instance, we think they had bet ter not be in too great a liurry, but wait un til they receive “more light” on the subject. fi®“A waterfall has been discovered in California, two thousand feet high. We have plenty of waterfalls in this city over five feet in height, of enormous volume, but all put together could not beat that Califor nia wonder. No indeed! SIO,OOO LOST. $5,000 REWARD! IP the whole sum was computed that those merchants ol Macon who did not adver tise in the DAWSON - JOURNAL during the year 1860, lost by the failure to do so, it would probably reach this amount. This paper is conceded by all to have the LARGEST CIRCULATION of any paper in South-Western Georgia, and oilers induce ments to advertisers unequalled in that sec tion. ELAM CHRISTIAN. Wo clip the above h umbug from the Ma con Messenger, of the 12 th. So turns the Republican is concerned, we do not concede that Mr. Christian's paper, has the largest circulation of any paper in South-Western Georgia, neither do we believe that friend Sweet, of the Albany News will “concede” any such thing, llow does Mr. Christian know that Iris paper has the largest circula tion of any paper in South-Western Geor gia? IJe has never examined our list of subscribers, neither do’wc believe that he has examined the list, of any other paper in this section. His assertion, therefore, is unwar ranted. It is remarkably strange that a Weekly paper, such as the Dawson Journal, published in a town, the population of which is not over five hundred, should have a larger circulation than a Tri-Weekly and a Week ly’ paper, published in a city, whose popula tion exceeds five thousand. 'I lie Journal, in al! probability, may have a larger circulation in Terrell county, (and this we somewhat doubt,) than any other paper, but so far as South-Western Georgia is concerned, it is‘‘all in my eye Billy Mur tin.” What a great pity it is, for the Merchants of Macon, to be so unfortunate as to have lost ten thousand dollars last year, by not pub lishing their notices in the Dawson Journal. The only way for the merchants of Macon to make up the loss of that large amount that we can see, is by letting their business be known through the columns of the Weekly and Tri-Weekly Sumter Republican, and other papers through this section, wemight mention.

The receipts of corn for the past week were heavier than for the previous week, being 35,000 bushels against 25,0u0.

EDWARD WILDER’S FAMOUS Stomach Bitters. jra EA D THE FOLLOWING Homo Evidence of Hs medicinal virtue, aud try it in your own family circle : Mr. Edward Wilder, City : Dear Sir: T have examined your Stomach [ Hitters carefully, and found it what you rep j resent it to be. The high order which the ingredients going into it take in the Materia Medina, as well as the most happy propor ! boned combination of substances, make your Bitters far superior to any similar prep ; aration in the country. The fact that you use only the purest Bourbon Whiskey must necessarily recommend your Bitters in anoth er point, especially as far as wholesome ness aud palatabi ity are taken into consider ation. 1 was well pleased to see in your es tablishment the process of manufacturing your Bitters carried on by way of displace ment, which not only gives you better pro duct but also recommends itself by clearer, operation. EMIL SCHEFFER, Apothecary and Chemist. Louisville, Sept. 29, 1800. Mr. Edward Wilder, City: Dear Sir: My wife and child have been suffering for several months from indigestion. My wife, s eing your advertisement, request er! me to bring her a bottle of your Stomach Bitters, which I did; and on her using one bottle, I am more than happy to state that my child, now four months old, who has not had a voluntary action since its birth, is en tirely restored, and my wife is enjoying the best of health, and is now wholly unwilling to be without a bottle of your billers in the house, as she says it is the most strengthen ing and apetizing tonic that can be used, and that no house ought, to be without it; and I feel it due to the public to make known the wonderful good it lias performed in my house hold, and most heartily recommend its use in every family.

Mf.abeCo., Kt., 1 October 24, 1800. / Mr, Edward Wilder, Louisville, Ky.; Dear Sir; I take pleasure in saying that I was suffering from Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever for several months, when 1 was advised by a friend to try your famous Stomach Bitters, and after using two bot tles lam entirely restored. It not only imparts new vigor, but it is truly the best strength ening and appetizing tonic, at the same time pleasant to t he taste, I have ever known used or offered to the public, and I would say to all similarly afflicted that, if they would be cured and have tire disease thor oughly eradicated from the system, to use your Bitters, and be convinced of their won derful medicinal power and virtue. I remain yours, respectfully, X’. r. NEYITT. Louisviii.e, Ky., Oct. 12, IBGG. To E. Wilder, Esq., City: 1 was a good deal afflicted with Indigestion and occasional attacks of Dyspepsia. 1 was advised to use your Bitters. 1 scarcely used one bottle when 1 felt relief, and from the use of the Bitters, though nearly sixty-seven vears of age, feel the same energy and vi vacity and cheerful spirits of a boy of twen ty-five. Four Bitters are a pleasant tonic and cordial, and, as they are prepared with pure ingredients and good old Bourbon Whiskey, I can safely indorse their use to all afflicted as I was. 1 would say to such persons, seep your miud easy, your bowels open, your head cool, your feet warm, and use Wilder’s Bitters, and never mind the Doctor.
