THE STATE.
THE PEOPLE AND THE PAPERS.
Hr, A. 8. Smith, brother of Dr. Lather
M. Smith, formerly of Emory College,
died at Brunswick, last week of yellow
tarot.
Saves hands picked 2,800 pounds of
oottoo on the plantation of Mr. W. E.
Alexander, in Henry county, one day
last week, an average of 400 pounds.—
One young man named Mays, picked
nearly 500 pounds.
Rev. U. S. Bird, of Fernandina Fla.,
has volunteered to supply the place of
the late Rev. E. H. Myers, of Savannah,
and bis offer has been accepted by the
Presiding Elder, Bev. Geo. G. N. Mac
DonelL —Macon Telegraph and Mes-
senger.
We learn that a difficulty occurred be
tween two black men, brothers, in the
Sixth Distriotof Early County, in which
one was very severely knifed by the oth
er. It was first reported that the
wounded negroe was dead, bnt later in
formation is, that he is getting better.
An old oolored preacher in Atlanta
was lecturing a yonth of his fold about
the sin of dancing, when the latter pro
tested that the Bible plainly said,
"There is a time to dance.” "Yes,
dar am a time to dance, said the dark
diviDe, “an it’s when a boy gits a whip
pin’ for gwine to a ball.
The Jasper County Banner says Mr.
J. O. Thomason, who is farming near
Monticello, has three boys aged respec
tively 17, 16 and 15 years, who, assisted
by a colored boy about the same age,
picked out 1,180 pounds of cotton in 8
hours, besides milking several cows, and
doing ether odd jobs.
Governor Smith Monday commissioned
the following Notaries Publio: Union

Two negroes broke jail in Fort Gaines
some time since and came to Early
oounty. They commenced their steal
ing operations there, and someone rec
ognizing them as the Clay oounty jail
birds they were arrested and carried
back to Fort Gaines, on Tuesday last.
Court being in session, we suppose
Judge Kiddoo will give them employ
ment for a while.
It is our painful duty to record the
death of John Kirkpatrick, Esq., which
occurred on Sunday morning. The de
ceased was a native of Ireland, but had
been a resident of this place half a cen
tury or upwards. He served as an rider
in the Presbyterian church during most
of that period, and never faltered in the
faithful discharge of duty. In a civil
capacity he served twenty-five or thirty
years as a Justice of the Peace, and
never failed to give entire satisfaction.

Early News: A bold robbery was per-
Setrated on the premises of Mr. J.
[. Minter, in the Twenty-sixth District,
one evening last week. While the fam
ily were at sapper, some sneak thief
went into Mr. Minter’s bedroom, picked
up his trunk and carried it off some hun
dred and fifty or two hundred yards,
where he broke it open and took out a
bag containing from thirty to fifty dol
lars in specie; also, six dollars in green
backs from a pocket book. No discov
ery yet as to who is the thief.
Anew rock jail has just been finished
in Greenville, and three prisoners put
in it. They thought it a pity to spoil
anew jail by sleeping in it to soon after
it was finished, so they walked out. A
Meriwether darkey, when he gets out
of work and rations, commits a small
crime, gets oaught, and takes up his
abode in jail. There he gets board and
lodging free until just before oourt,
when he quietly " makes way for
liberty.” Shrewd are the Meriwether
darkeys, and the oounty jail is their
profit.
Another Atlanta man has made a raid
on LaGrange, and oarried off a oharm
ing prize. On the morning of Tuesday
last, a small circle of friends gathered
at the residence of Mrs. Witham, to
witness the marriage of her daughter,
Miss Mary B. Witham, to Mr. John T.
Rogers. The oeremouy was performed
by Rev. M. B. Hardin, and he accom
panied it with some very impressive
remarks. After the oeremony, refresh
ments and congratulations, the newly
married pair took their departure for
Atlanta, the residence of tho groom.
LaGrange Reporter : Mr. Hilliard
will not get all the opposition vote of
this District if a report which reaohes
us is true. The rumor is that Curtis
Bell, a oolored teaoher of Hamilton, fol
lowing Mr. Hilliard’s example, has an
nodnoed himself for Congress. He will,
of oourse, divide the vote with the Vet
eran Inpependent. Bell is a Radical,
and has the same reason for running for
Congress that Mr. Hilliard has—that is,
because be wants to. They ought to can
vass together. Well, Col. Harris would
just as lief walk over two Independents
as one.
Avery dastardly attempt, and one
whioh came near being successful, was
made last Saturday, to wreck a train on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad. A
switoh near Chattanooga was left out of
El ace, and the train which left Atlanta at
alf past 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon
was thrown from the traok. The engine
and tender were nearly turned over, and
the traok and cross-ties were torn up
some distance. The engineer and flre
inau were somewhat braised, and the
latter had his ankle sprained. None of
the passengers were hurt. The switoh
was evidently intentionally misplaced,
as a rock was placed under to keep it
from flying baok into position. Who
the perpetrator .was and what was his
motive are not yet known.
A little girl in Atlanta, ou the eve of
her fourth birthday, last Sunday startled
her mother with the following: "Mama
how old was I when I was a little baby ?”
Mama was so completely stumped for a
definite answer to the question that
there was a pause for several moments.
It ended by her unole’s replying: “Why,
you were a little baby till you were six
months old and till you were eight
months old, and then till you were six
teen months old and finally till yon were
twenty-four months old, and then you
got to be a little girl.” "Well, then,”
after a short pause, she auswered,
"when I get,to be aix years old, then
I’ll be a little boy.” A roar of laughter
from the family signified to her that if
she was not oorrect she at least had
struck an originality so far as her idea
was concerned.
Columbus Enquirer: A countryman I
from Harris county yesterday bought at
a hardware! store a frying pau and some
wooden material. He asked for a boy
to carry the purchases to the wagon
yard, promising to pay a dime for the
job. Clerk stepped to door. A street
cotton buyer passed by aud asked what
was wanted. Clerk replied—“a boy who
wants to make ten cents.” Cotton buyer
said he was that boy and would take the ,
offer. Purchaser didn’t know him, and I
clerk told him that the errand boy was ,
a ootton buyer and needed watching. '
Purchaser didn't kuow him, but looked
smiled. The 0. B. quietly shouldered
the truck and started at a rapid pace for
the yard, nearly four blocks away. Coun
tryman kept up, and still his wonder
grew. He finally asked, “Bought much
cotton to-day ?" “Only a hundred bales
and am in a hurry to get through with
this job to boy a hundred more." Ad
vancing further, cjuntryman suggested
he could carry that stew pan. “No, sir,”
replied C. B “.I mean to earn that ten
cents. I’m running this hack line, and
want no partner.” “Most have business
up this way ?” “None, sir, bat to make
the tan cents.” Arrived at wagon yard
and depositing the very light load, ooun
trvmsn suggested he had only a quarter.
C. B. had the change, but countryman
found a stray shinplaster and handed
over. 0. B. took it, touched his hat,
said “thankee,” and shortly aftar was
seen ganging a ootton bale. Who says
a town man won’t work, ie ashamed to
walk the streets with a bundle, or will
not engage in honest labor to earn an
honest penny t The above is fnnny to
think of, bnt a useful lesson is taught.
THE KNIFE AT WORK.
One Celered Clilms Stabs Asstker.
Last evening, about ten o’clook, An
toine Sylva, a colored Caban, pursued
a negro named Preston Johnson to the
door of Kernaghan’s stables, calling for
the police as he followed him np. At
the piece mentioned Johnson was stop
ped by * gentleman who was near by.
Sylvaf then charged Johnson with hav
ing stabbed him, which Johnson de
nied. Sylva continued to make the
charge and presently sank to the ground.
It was then discovered that he had been
stabbed in the right aide. Johnson,
still protesting his innooenoe, was taken
in charge by a policeman and carried to
the City Hall. He had no knife on his
person, bnt it ia supposed thst he threw
it sway while running from Sylva. The
wonnded man waa conveyed to his
boarding house, on Telfair street, and a
physician snmmoned. The wound,
which penetrated to hia right long, was
dressed aad the patient made aa com
fortable as possible. He is considered
to be in a critical condition. He was
unable to give any account of the diffi
culty beyond the faot that it oocorred on
Hroad street, near Campbell.
ATTBHFTKD ASSASSIXATION.
A lltisia Skat nx While G.ios Heme.
Last Friday afternoon, while Mr, 3.
EL Duncan was, going to hia home At
Richmond Factory, he was shot at twice
when about half a mile from that place
by a party in the bushes an the side of
the road. One of the balls struck Mr.
Dfluean on the forefinger of the left
hand, gracing the skiu and then went
through hia coat near the lappel. The
two shots were fired in quick succession
Mr. Duncan drew hia pistol and fired
into the bushes and then drove on to
the Factory, organized a foroe and went
back to the spot. The party rode
through the woods but failed to find
any one. It is probable that the at
tempt to thus assassinate Mr. Duncan
grew out of the supposition on the part
of negroes that he waa one of the party
of men who endeavored to eapture the
negro Jim Dawson some time since.
Dawson, it will be reoollected, grossly
insulted a respectable white female near
the Factory and a short time afterwards
was called on at night by several men,
bat managed to effect bis escape. Mr.
Duncan was in Augusts on the night
that that affair occurred and knew noth
thing about it until next day, when he re
ceived a letter from Riobmond Factory.
Mr. Duncan certainly bad a narrow
escape Friday afternoon. Every effort
will be made to ferret oat the wonld be
assassin. '
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
Oh Mu Killed and Aiethcr injured.
The meeting at Snmmer Hill was
marred yesterday by an unfortunate ac
cident, which’occurred a few moments
after the ceremonies were over and jnst
as the people'ware returning homeward.
When the piece of artillery, whioh was
carried from Augusta to be used in fir
ing salutes on the occasion, was limbered
np and started to leave, seven persons
were seated on it for the purpose of rid
ing to the city. Among these were
Messrs. John Theo. Pardne and Peter
Eaaterling. The piece was drawn by a
team of stoat males, driven by a negro
who waa aeated on one of them. The
team started off at a rapid rate, and
had proceeded bnt a very short dis
tance when one of the wheels of the
cannon ran over a small stump, tilting
the piece and giving it a violent jar.
Messrs. Pardne and Easterling were un
seated by the shock and thrown to the
gronnd. Both fell under the cannon.
One of the wheels passed directly over
Mr. Pardne’s bead, crushing it in a hor
rible manner, and causing instant
death. Mr. Easterling was comparative
ly slightly injured, receiving severe
bruises on the left arm, near the wrist,
and about the head. The team was
brought to a halt as soon as possible.
A physician, who was at the meeting,
harried to the spot, but Pardue was
past all human aid. Mr. Ransom fur
nished a wagon to bring the body to
Atignsta, and the deceased was then es
corted to the bridge by a detachment of
Colonel A. P. Butler’s Company, detail
ed by him for that purpose.
Mr. Pardne was the husband of Mrs.
Annie Blount Pardne (Jenny Wood
bine), the Georgia poetesss.
One of Mr. Pardue’s arms was broken
in two places.
CHEAPER CLOTHES.
How the Price* of Ready-Made Molt* and of
Clothing Made to Order Hava Been Re
duced.
[From the New York World.]
Said the representative of a leading
clothing house yesterday, “we are sell
ing a better suit of clothes to-day than
we sold for the same price before the
war. That is the long and short of the
whole story.” In making this statement;
which must be taken with a large grain
of salt, he referred only to ready-made
clothing, on whioh prices have taken a
great tumble. The dealers in this branoh
of the trade at least think they have
reached hard-pan, and they fee! better
for it. A reduction af fifty per cent,
from the old war prices has taken place,
and the following shows the present oost
of some classes of goods as compared
with their cost two years ago, since
which the redaction has amounted to
about 26 per oent. on ordinary goods
and 10 per oent on the finer qualities :
18T4. 1876.
Whole Bait, ordinary,
American goods 420 to S3O sls to $22
Wuole suit, floe quality,
American goods 30 to 45 25 to 35
Whole suit, imported
goods 45 to 65 40 to 55
The hard times have had another ef
feot than to reduce the price of elothing.
They have resulted in a very marked
improvement in the quality of woolen
fabrics of American manufacture. When
thousands of young men who had been
in the habit of buying suits made np of
imported goods were obliged by the
exigencies of tho times to content them
selves with articles of home manufac
ture, the oloth-makers exerted them
selves to tarn oat a fine quality of cloths
and cassimeres. By applying more skill
to the work they have succeeded in im
proving the colors ; better wool has been
used, and more oare is taken in the weav
ing. The clothiers say that the finer
quality of American cassimeres will now
oompare very favorably with the Eng
lish, Scotch and French ; and this is
why they are able to affirm that they
are now selling better snits than they
sold before the war for the same price.
The reduction, so lar as the ready made
business ia concerned, is universal, and
it would be folly for any dealer to de
mand the prioes of two or even one year
ago. Mr. Ogden, the managing man for
Devlin & Cos., said yesterday that people
oould not be made to pay the old prioes
for olothing, and that hundreds and
thousands who used to patronize the
fashionable merohant tailors were now
going to the large retail houses and
either having their snits made np in the
custom department or having them
ready made. The high duties on im
ported goods made it impossible for
tailors who nsed no goods of American
manufacture, to lower their prioes ma
terially, and that was why they had been
deserted by so many of their old cus
tomers. The great falling off in the
quantity of loreign goods now imported
showed that there was little demand for
them, and it was a fact that if any per
son went to order a fancy suit' made of
imported goods he wonld find bat few
samples to select from. On the other
hand, the supply of the best quality of
American made goods was very abund
ant, and the demand great. Prices
would have come down sooner, he said,
if labor bad uot been so high. The bet
ter olass of journeymen tailors were not
very plenty, and they had oombined to
keep the prices of their labor at too high
a figure.
At the large olothing house of Brooks
Brothers the range of prices for ready
made men’s suits was given as follows:
1874. 1876.
American goods, ordi
nary 822 to $25 #lB to S2O
American goods, better
quality.... 25 to 35 20 to 28
Imported goods 40 to 50 36 to 40
The prices at this establishment, as
at many others, had bees reduced about
60 per cent, from those that obtained
during the war and for a time after.
Labor, until thiß year, had kept np, but
it was now fast coming down. Business
for several months had been dnl), bnt
with reduced prices and a greater de
mand as the Pall season approaches,
was reviving rapidly.
The retreat to old hard-pan prices in
this branch of trade has been led prin
cipally by two or three rival houses,
which have attracted an immense cus
tom, and the sales at one of those
houses have amounted to nearly sl,-
600,000 in one year.
Next to the ready-made clothing mer
chants comes the large olass of merchant
tailors not ranked as “fashionable.”
These men have lowered all their prices
more or less, but especially on garments
made np of domestic goods. As the
oost of imported goods remains the
same, the only redaction it has been
possible for them to make in that line
is dne to a saving on the price of labor.
The range of prices for good cus
tom work was ascertained to be as fol
lows: .
1874. 1876.
Suits to order, American
goods ~s3O to $45 #25 to $35
gaits to order, American
goods, better quality.. 45 to 60 35 to 48
Bmts to order, imported
g00d5............ .... 50 to 75 45 to 65
Between the general ran of merchant
tailors and the exclusive few who do
nothing bnt a fancy or Btriotly fashion
able trade, there is another class of
tailors who are able to demand high
prices for “nobby” suits. These people
have as yet made little or no redaction at
all, bnt they have suffered the loss of a
part of their custom. Their terms range
now as they have heretofore, abont as
follows:
Dress Saits 490 to SIOO
Hslf dress 86 to 96
Business suits 75 to 95
Last of all come four or five tailors
who do an exclusively fashionable trade,
for which they get exorbitant pay from
the rich bankers, young men of ample
fortune who wish to drees well, a few
<4 aportiDg men,” etc. Their unap
proachable prices remain the same, and
are as follows:
Best dress suit $125
Half drees HO
Business suits, English cut-away... 85
These men have not suffered much yet
from the effect of the hard times, and
as they have little or no competition it
will be some time before they come
down. Of course they boy nothing bnt
the very finest goods, importing their
stock themselves. A great amount of
labor is devoted to every garment, and
as the workmen they employ have to be
paid liberally, the profits of the tailor
are not aa large aa one might think.
PALMETTO POLITICH.
Knthaslastlc Meetiaf at Hummer Hill.
Pursuant to notice, a mass meeting of
Democrats waa held at Snmmer Hill,
two miles from Hamburg, yesterday.
About five hundred people were in at
tendance and much enthusiasm was
manifested.
A number of distinguished speakers
were present by invitation, among them
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs and Maj. W. T.
Gary, of this city. The meeting waa in
a large grove near the residence of Mr.
Ransom. A platform had been erected
for the accommodation of the speakers
and other distinguished guests. The
Irish Volanleer* Bnu* Bang
Of Augusta was at the meeting and fur
nished excellent music for the occasion,
lhe old continental six-pounder belong
ing to the Washington Artillery was
carried over and salutes were fired dar
ing the day.
On the platform, besides the speakers,
were General Goode Bryan, Captain W.
Daniel and reporters of the Aogasta pa
pers.
The speaking was commenced by Col.
A. P. Bntlr, Democratic candidate for
Senator, who delivered a telling address.
He was followed by Mr. Angus Brown,
candidate for Clerk of Court. Judge
Twiggs was then introduced to the au
dience and spoke for an hoar and a half.
His speech was an eloquent and able
effort and was listened to with the deep
est attention by the andience, who
Frequently Applauded
The glowing utterances of the orator.
Bach words of encouragement and
sympathy from one of Georgia’s well
known sons cheered the hearts of all
present, and round after round of ap
plause made the welkin ring.
After Judge Twiggs concluded the
guests were invited to partake of a
sumptions barbecue dinner prepared
for their benefit. The tables fairly
groaned nnder the load of savory
viaDds heaped npon them. The bar
becue received ample justice from all
and no one went away unsatisfied. The
ladies present at the meeting were in
vited to the hospitable mansion of
Mr Ransom, where a bonntifnl repast
was set forth.
After dinner the speaking was re
sumed. The first speech was made by
Mr. Frederick Salter, an Englishman
by birth, bat for several years a resi
dent of this country. Mr. Salter, at the
conclusion of his speech, read a poem
composed for the occasion by his wife,
and which was received with thunders
of applause.
Engene Thomas, a
Colored Democrat*
Followed Mr. Salter with some sensible
and well-timed advioe to his race. His
remarks were listened to with great at
teution by his white and oolored audi
tors.
Major W. T. Gary closed the speak
ing in an address of an honr and a half
in length. It was a splendid effort, fre
quently interrupted by the wildest and
most enthusiastic cheers. It was un
doubtedly an able speech, and had its
effect npon the minds of all present.
Major Gary is a fine orator, and both
Booth Carolina—his Dative State—and
Georgia—the State of his adoption—
have reason*to be prond of him.
After the speaking was over thirty
colored men joined the colored Demo
cratic Club, and announced their deter
mination to vote for Hampton and Til
den.
Altogether, the meeting was a great
success.
Two rifle clubs—one from Beach Is
land and one from another part of the
oounty—were in attendance, and added
interest to the occasion.
DEVELOPMENTS OF SPEED.
The Performance of Some Pamoua Race
Horne*.
[Turf, Field and Farmer.]
In Jane, 1849, the famous gray mare
Lady Suffolk recorded a mile in 2:26,
and the world wondered at the astonish
ing speed. For a lapse of years no very
formidable rival threatened to reduoe
the record, until, in 1856, a little bay
mare made her appearance on the turf,
and the old soythe-bearer had only
mowed 2 minutes and 24} seconds when
she completed a mile. In the following
season Lantern and mate trotted against
Ethan Allen and mate. At the three
quarter pole Lantern was many lengths,
seemingly hopeless, in the rear, bnt,
with a magnificent burst of speed, he
came down the stretch at a rate comput
ed to be about 33 seconds for the quar
ter, and, collaring Ethan, made a dead
heat in 2:24£. The excited owner shoat
ed vooiferously: “I don’t care for the
heat, but I’d give SIO,OOO if he’d only
rubbed that half second of Flora
Temple’s time.” In 1859 Flora again
clipped the record in her great race with
Prinoess, the celebrated California mare,
reducing the figures to 2:22, and the
whole community fairly lavished endear
ment on the queen of the turf. Later
in the same year she cut off another
half second, making a mile in 2:215.
Finally, at Kalamazoo, Michigan, the
venerable bearer of the scythe and hour
glass was astounded to find that a mile
was finished in 2:195. Public excite
ment ran high, and ’midst it all came
expressions of doubt in regard to the
length of the course, with many sage
predictions that it wonld be impossible
to beat 2:20. A mile at the latter rate
necessitates a speed of thirty-eight feet
(within a fraction) per second, and the
great mass of “ I-tell-you-so ” people
said that Flora Temple was a phenome
non not likely to oocnr again in a cen
tury. To the quiet looker on, the real
judge of merit, the performances of Lan
oet, Brown Dick, George M. Patchen
and others, indicated that Flora was net
beyond the possibility of recurrence,
while Mr. Robert Bonner’s acute judg
ment led him to discover Lantern’s
wonderful speed, and purchase him
at what was then considered an
enormous price for a single horse.
In 1864 Dexter made his appear
ance on the Fashion Course, and was
Sronounoed by the cognoscenti a won
erful horse. In 1865, nnder the sad
dle, Dexter made 2:18 1-5, and his fame
was wide spread at once as the victor
over time against Flora’s best tally.
The year following brought his per
formance to 2:18 ; another season, 1867,
showed 2:17} in harness.
Mr. Benner made a famous speeoh on
the oocasion, which was almost as short
as Dexter’s record, and immediately
purehased the horse for $23,000.
What might have been Dexter’s
fatnre, had he remained on the track,
can only be oonjectured, but we think
he would have shown very far below
2:17}. Meanwhile Goldsmith Maid and
Amerioan Girl were becoming famous,
the latter ultimately achieving a record
of 2:16}. Goldsmith Maid has con
tinued cutting down the seconds, until
2:16, 2:14}, 2:14} bad followed in each
order that people fairly gasped and ex
pected to see Father time carried ont
exhausted. At last the wonderful fig
ure 2:14 was reaohed, and siDoe then
the aged mower has had a rest on single
miles. Other noted horses had appear
ed, and 2220 flyers were scarcely a
rarity.
While Goldsmith Maid was bearing
the sceptre the mare Lula rushed into
notoriety in the Summer of 1874 with a
fast heat of 2:16, and the subsequent
season brought her still further celebri
ty in the winner of the three fastest
heats known—2d, 3d and 4th—the Ist
having been taken by Goldsmith Maid.
The separate figures were 2:151-5, 2:16},
2:15}, 2:17. Lula soon after won a heat
in 2:15. With the opening of 1876 the
great mass cast their prophecies on Lnla
as the most likely to snatch away Gold
smith Maid’s laurels, though Hopeful,
who hud won three heats in 2:17}, 2:18},
2:18}, was prime favorite with many.
As the season advanced the keen obser
vation of a few was centered on Smug
gler, a celebrated stallion, the property
of Col. Hassell.
Last week, at Cleveland, Smuggler
won a splendid race from Goldsmith
Maid, in which the two together trotted
the fastest five consecutive heats ever
shown for public gratification. Gold
smith Maid won the Ist and 2d, Smug
gler the 3d, 4th and sth, showing re
markable speed, steadiness and, great
est of all, endurance. The time was
2:15}, 2:17}, 2:16}, 2:19}, 2:17}.

THE SEASON OF IN TERMITTENTB.
All the miasmatic complaints, in other
words, all disorders generated by un
wholesome exhalations from the earth or
water, are prevalent at this season. In

fever and ague, or other forms of inter
mittent disease, the causes which pro
duce tnese maladies are now actively at
work. This, therefore, is a period of
the year when the inhabitants of sueh
districts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholesome condition of the
atmosphere by a oourse of tonic and al
terative treatment. Foremost among
the invigorants, recommended by time
and experience as a means of fortifying
the system against all epidemio and epi
demic maladies, stands Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters. By a timely use of
the Bitters, the feeblest resident oFan
unhealthy soil may escape the sickness,
which, without the aid of this potent
ally of nature, will be apt to overtake
the strongest. ocl3-d6<fewl

DR. GILDER’SLIVER PILLS.
IF your head aches, take two or three pills
going to bed.
If your liver is not acting properly, and yon
feel dull and drowsy, three pills at night will
clear the system of vitiated bile, and make you
feel like anew person.
If you have a pain in the side or baok, it
probably arises from a torpid liver. Stir it to
action by taking a dose of these LrvER Pinna.
If your bowels are constipated, two pills at
bed time will set you all right.
If your food does not digest, take two or
three pills twice a week at bed time, until
three or four doses have been taken, and you
will find yourself entirely relieved of these
disagreeable symptoms.
If your complexion is sallow and your eyes
discolored, a full dose of these pills will impart
a roseate hue to your checks, and give your
eye the brillianoy of perfect health.
If you have Chills and Feveb, take three
of the Liver Pilla at bed time, after the chill
haa passed off. If they should not operate
thoroughly before breakfast, take one more
pill. During the day, take about 15 grains of
quinine, in doses of 5 grains each, at intervals
of two hours. Repeat the quinine for two or
three days. About the sixth night, take an
other dose of the Pills, and on the seventh day
take 15 grains quinine as before.
By following this treatment oarefully, no
one need suffer from this distressing com
plaint.
In any and all diseases where a cathartic
medicine is required, these Pills will be found
the safest and best remedy before the publio.

Unenl Remarks.
With the advent of cold weather we note a
still mere derided improvement in trade. A
large number of country wagons have been in
the city daring the pest week and so excellent
business has been done. Cotton has been com
ing in rapidly and meets with a good de
mand at current quotations. We feel satisfied
from present indications that the receipts of
the present season, at Augusta, will far exceed
those of last, as a matter of coarse this will
place more money in circulation, and it is,
thought therefore', with good reasen that we
look forward to better times than we
have experienced for several years the
The beginning ia certainly sufficient to
warrant the highest anticipations. Au
gusta is surrounded by a productive
country and thousands of farmers look to
her for the sale of their produce. Her mer
chants are active and energetic and possess the
confidence of the planting community.
Flour has advanced seventy-five cents a barrel
for eity mills. Western remains unchanged.
Bacon ia quiet but firm at last week's figures.
The supply is ample for present demand.
A brisk trade has been dene during the
week in general grooeries. To-day merchants
are busy and a most encouraging appearance
of cheerfullnes is manifested in all business
oirelss.
