Once upon a midnight dreary
I was tossing weak and weary
For I had a fit of ague.
And mv bones were very sore.
Suddenly 1 read a label,
Os a medicine on my table,
But to reaeh’t I scarce, was able;
1 was so infernal sore!
Took I just one dose, Twas bile beans;
Soundlv slept I and did snore.
Had the ague nevermore!

Persons in ordii ary circumstances
cannot afford to be sick when a heavy '
bill from a doctor is the result. The
latter can be obviated if you have a
cough or cold, by the timely use of j
Coussens’ Honey of Tar, which has >
long been in use, and is universally :
conceeded to be the only pure and
simple lemedy for a cough or cold.
J. P- Stevens & Bro-
Should you wish to purchase any
thing usually kept in a first-class
jewelry house, you will find it to your j
interest to pay your expenses to At- i
lanta and buy from Stevens & Bro. ,
You will find them polite, attentive 1
and well up with the demands of the ’
times, with the most extensive and
complete stock of diamonds, watches
and jewelry of every description to be
found in the South. Call and see
them when in the “Gate City.”
Another Fire-
We regret to learn that on Sunday
nignt the barn and stables of Mr. ■
John Phillips, who lives about eight
miles from Harlem, in Richmond ■
; county, was destroyed by fire, to-.
gether with a considerable amount of ;
, forage. The fire is supposed by some
■ to have been the work of an incen
i diary, but why so good a citizen as
Mr. Phillips should be made to suffer
by so heartless a fiend, if the above
i supposition be true, we are unable to ;
conjecture. _ . _
Rabbit Hill in Ashes
At an early hour on Saturday
morning hist the alarm of fire was
sounded which threw the town into a
state of excitement, but soon nil fears
subsided, when it was ascertained
that no further damage could accrue
to the town. The house was a small
frame building owned by Miss Mary
Drane. It was entirely consumed
with contents. No insurance. A ne
gro child asleep in die house narrow
ly escaped with its life.
Death of Mrs- Fuller-
It becomes our painful duty to
chronicle the death of Mrs. Fuller,
i the devoted wife of Rev. M. Fuller, of
I our town. Though a great shock,
still her death was not unexpected.—
, Quito a while ago the grim monster
seized upon her vitals and never re
laxed his hold until his aim was ac
complished in the death of this be
loved wife, fond and considerate
mother and exemplary Christian wo
man. She bore her sickness and
suffering with patience and fortitude,
which only the child of God could,
and now, bereaved ones, she is in the
shade beyond the river, where it is
written, “there shall be no right”
A SLIDE DOWS,
lu Wiiich Hie ‘‘Little Flask’’ Farms a Pari
On Tuesday morning, just alter
the up day passenger train had left
the depot, a sable sou of African de
scent undertook to make bis exit
from the depot byway of an inclined
platform, used for the purpose of
rolling barrels into the streets, and
which by the way looks very much
like it hud been greased. In endeav
oring to make the transit his feet flew
from under him, and the sudden
coming in contact with mother earth
caused an unloading of sundry arti
cles from his pockets; among them
and to him by no means least, a
small flask, which, according to ap
[ pearai.ee, contained the essence of
“tangle leg.” Ho picked himself up
and departed, doubtless reflecting
upon the fact that there is danger on
a greasy platform although taken ns
u nigh cut.
Tupping will) a Mallet.
Editors Sentinel:
Should a mallet bo sufficient to lull
a blabbering tongue, why use the
mall ? There is a certain woman of
our Eden town whose courtship days
have long since passed, and years
quite a number heaped upon her
' head, straightens the once dark curls
into gray strands, and stretches across
her sun-burnt cheek aged wrinkles
i printed thereupon on account of the
| false movements of the tongue.—
Undoubtedly this woman has entirely
forgotten the troubles which contin
ually arise amongst the young folks of
| now-a-days. Surely when she was
I courting, others must have had a hard
I time if she kicked up such stirs in
proportion as she now does. One
I good thing, she can only cause the
' bubbles to burst, and the gas to smell
' among strangers. For home folks
i know her of old, as she resembles the
I butt end of a gass pipe turned wide
alos •. -Now old woman, I’ll stop a
little while, as you can smell the other
end of the gas pipe yourself. So live
a Christian life and hold your tongue.
“Jonnie.”
RIV MR MEVAARDIE
Condition of the Great Leader of Auguxta
Los I,
Augusta Chronicle. The follow
i ing statement as to Rev. Mr. Meynar
dio the Chronicle gives publicity
with pleasure. The gentleman who
furnishes the information speaks very
kindly of the reverend Knight. The
statement is made as to his condition
| after a visit to Mr. Meynardie’s _
1 residence:
Terms, $i a Yedt* In Advance.
| “I find that Mr, Meynardie and hia
friem-a have been much distressed at
the impression that is current in towk
and unintentionally added to by the
recent article in the Chronicle under
the title “is ho mad ?" The effect pro
duced by such a query put at *UM
when ttie public was in the dark, and
both curious and credulous, waa
entirely disproportioned toitsordina
ry effect and to the intention of ths
writer who naked the oueetion.
“Owing to his critical state of
health and to the nervous character
of his illness such reports, no matter
how groundless, cannot but affect
him painfully, and from his physical
inability to say or do anythin* I'n hid
own defence the knowledge that
reports the most damaging to hit
reputation are in circulation, it a very
cruel infliction
“Those of the public who desire td
discuss his condition want to do so
only as far hh facts will warrant; these
they are entitled to and as here
given can be relied on ns being per*
t'ectly exact For six months he has
been in a state of intense activity,
and under a physical and mental
strain enough to try the strongest
brain. In addition to the position in
the Knights of Laiior he has had ths
further responsibility of a church
upon him and almost nightly for
months has been engaged in preach
ing. All these facts united to the
accumulated excitement at ths
Richmond convention united ia
producing it prostration that tempo*
rarily overshadowed his bruin, and he
was without consciousness of his acts
until after his return to Augusta.
Here he was so completely prostrated
physically that stimulants were
necessary to receive hnn, but after a
temporary prescription he was able
to dispense with them entirely.
“.Since his return he has bee*
excessively weak; walks very slowly
and with much effort, but ia careful
and exact in his use of woods, and
utterly free from anything like
wandering of the mind. Hia brain
is perfectly dear, and except for one
or two instances where he had ths
usual abend ion* that si-company
fever. His mental state has been
infinitely better than hisphysical
strength. It was during one of these
states of hallucinations produced by
high fever he was seen by the witness
whose account of his condition gave
rise to report that his mind was gone.
He is so weak in body us to require
freedom from anxiety,but his miud is
as strong and clear as it ever Was.
The continuation of the unfortunate
reports can not but be injurious It
is but an act of human charity and
justice to say only the truth "
