THE POST.
WEDNESDAY JUNE 23. 1880.
J. A. PEACOCK, Editor.
FOIt GOVERNOR,
1I0N. A. 0. BACON.
8 A LUTATO ItY.
In ussuming the management and
reaponsibilitcs of Tuk Dublin Post,
we propose to abbreviate the long
lift of promises usnully enco'iehed in
a salutatory and let the future issues
of the paper speak for themselves.
The papor will, ns heretofore, ad
here to the principles of democracy,
taking such steps as it thinks nec
essary for the advancement of the
cause. It is our purpose to advance,
ns far as possible, everything that
will be to the interest of the county
and her citizens.
In doing our duty as a journalist
wo u'-o willing to smud or fall ou tho
merits of the paper.
Respectfully,
* r J- A. I* K A COOK.
Wo think that the “acor-faced
vcrteran’Ms now satisfied that hi*
*'siK>ntaneous calls” didn’t reach
ns .far down as old Laurens.
Georgia needs an honest, able and
careful administration of her ■ affairs
during the next four years ; not the
training of military men, as the man
of “spontaneous calls” and brass
hand would have you believe.
It is very strange how tho moat
sanguino Gordouite could expect
Laurons to go for bis ohoioo. Mon
ey distributed here in the hands of a
few partisans doosu’t do tho work ns
effectually as they anticipated.
It is verily believed that old Lau
rens could liavo run her own politi
oul machinery without the assistance
of tho “South Carolina savior.” The
pooplo horeabonts will advise him in
tho future when his dotations are
desired. IWM.
Yeaterday** Proceed In us.
Yesterday will be a day long re
moinberod by Laurens county’s citi
sens, Not from the foot that Gen.
Gordon spoke bore, but from tho
disgusting and butragooils manner
in which some of his friends treated
thoso of his opponent. The friends
of Gen., Gordon had promised these
of Major Baoou the use of the stuge
for Major lianson to reply to what
hod boon suid. Did they do it? No;
but they endeavored to thrust insult
after insult into their teeth. The
Geuorul, himself, noted with unbe
coming dignity for un aspirant to
suoh a high office. Not boing able to
socuro tho stage, Major Hanson, at
tlio solicitations of thoso who wuut-
ed both sidos of it, wont to the court
houso, and, iu a forcible and logical
apoooh, pointed out the faults of
General Gordon and the merits of
tho distinguished son of Bibb, who,
from yrsterday’s unfair proceedings,
has gained many votes in this oouu-
ty. It wilt bo a oold day when old
Laurens fails to trample undor foot
such high-hundod (injustice. Tune
and spnoo forbids further comment,
whioll wo regret, for wo are: anxious
thut the people should know with
what desperation tho ndvoentos of
Gen. Gordon uro working.

Mrs. L. A. Matthews, of Tonnillo,
is visiting her mother, Mrs. 1. M.
Klacksltear. She has boon extreme
ly ill for some time and wo liopo
that the ohango will restore her to
her wanted health. She has had
the sympathy of all her friends dur
ing her trying sickness.
Miss Rosa Cooke, who has been
teaching at Moiling Springs all the
year, has resumed her school, after
a fortnight’s holiday, Miss Cooke
has given universal satisfaction to
her patrons and they oonsidod them
■elves fortunate iu being able to se
cure her sorv toes for another term.
Wo rvgrot to seo iu the Wes!even
Advocate of June 8th, the obituary
of Mrs. Mallard, uea Miss Moliio
lUtllam, who died at her home in
Liberty county. She was a niece of
Mr. Seth Kellam und hud passed
many pleasant months iu this neigh-
I tor hood, where she won many dear
friends, who doplore her early de
mise. She leaves a husband and
three little ones.
We dined, not loug since, with an
old !«.dy iu thh neighborhood
who iuve us a silver spoon with
which to sip our ooffoe that
has been in the family about one
hundred and fifty years. They are
very tiny, but sol’d and heavy. She
has many old roles iu her comforta
ble cosy home, which would nearly
run wild some of those suckers of
chl-fiibhioned brie a-brae.
Tile i^lebiu lull of M.iivili S. S.
on U-t Mu'unlay was u compu te suc
cess in every respect. Tho lads and
lassos acquitted themselves most
creditably hi their songs and recita
tions. Itov. II. A. Hodges’ address
on S. 8. work wa9 well deliverad and
cnjoyably received. The dinner was
a tine ono, consisting of everything
nico that could be collected und con
cocted in the country. Wc hear that
the 8. 8. will endeavor to have an
annual celebration, which we hope
will bo carried out as these social
gatherings are conducive, not only
to .the pleasure of the children, but
also the grown folks. There, were
present Saturday seven different
Smith families. How many more
in the county? He understand that
the selection, “Uro. Josiah ou Pray
ing,” whioli was recited with much
telling effect by MissEmnm Hartly,
was composed by Mr. Palmer, who
was once editor of your valued Post.
Col. A. F. Daley, of Wrightsvillc,
was shaking hands with ull his old
(and new) friends Saturday—was he
prospecting?
Thoro has been considerable sick
ness in this community for several
weeks—r.o cases of fever, but measles
and roseola, which have been so pre
valent over tho whole country, have
alsoattacked tho children hero. Some
attributes these diseases to tho early
vegetables, others to the faulty fruit
bin it is more generally thought so
much sickness in the weather.
Rev. 0. H. Branch preached at
Marvin church Sunday to a large
congregation. Mr. J. 0. Hawkins
met with tho S. 8. in the morning,
and ull presont enjoyed hearing him
sing with the children.
A certain gent leman in this dis
trict was contemplating his first trip
to Hriglitsville and was asking for
directions, lie was toll that he
would know when no had reached
that town by tho cemetery. He ex
claimed “Goodness is the town thut
dead.” Ou his roturn he was speak
ing of tho apparent dullness of the
town itiid business there and said
“why 1 went intoastoiie and bought
a mokle’s worth of crackers
and much to my surprise tho brass
baud'Struok up a time so you cun
imagine wliut a rare sight a nickle is
in that burg. In jnstiod to tho time
wc must say that the gentleman is a
torn bio joker and pumpstcrand thou
too upon inquiry wu found out that
u cornot pluyor was praotioing near
by tlmt store.
The crops in Ibis scciion aro very
fine tho corn crop promises to pro-
dnoo a bountiful yield. The recent
hard continued rains have caused an.
abundant orop of grass Imt plenty of
warm sunshino and hard work will
dibpeuco with this. The fruit trees
seem blighted, for the peaches and
apples are rot ting and dropping from
tho trees. Borne* of ull kinds are in
profusion.
NickleviUo Items.
Nows itoms are very source at
present.
It has rained hero for eight conse*
cutivc days. Corn is looking beau
liful- -cotton Is growing and grass is
simply luxuriant.
Tho oat crops of this section is not
as good this year as formorly owing
to the fact that the sovore winter
killed all the fall sown and tho win-
tor sown never make as well us seed
sown in the fall.
Mr. Paul F. Duggan rotttrncd
from ludiun Springs yesterday vvhoro
he hits boott spending his vacation.
Wo can’t sio why it is thut the
journals of the State pousist in such
wholesale slander of two of Georgia’s
noble sons. If they me such men as
the ad verso organs of each represent
them, tlioy aro unfit for the office of
district bailiff but a cause the ladies
advocates is generally right, conse
quently, wo are a Gordon man if
nominated' anyhow wo aro solid for
tho nominee, unless it is Dr. Felton
or somo of liis party. ; _ V \ *,

GentlemenI had rlieumatism for over 6
years, and last May was taken down and
confined to my bed—my feet and leg? were
badly swolen and the color of a red apple
and I was in a fearful condition. I heard
of P P P (Prickly Ash, Polk’ Root and
Potassium) and after seeing what the in
S cdlcnts were—as the formula is on the
ttle—I concluded to try it, and after
(taking tlireu small bottles I was able to go

This is to^ certify that ,1 have been af-

numtier of years. The best physicians of
Mobile sard nothing could Ihj done forme.
I also took a large quantity of S 8 8 but
found no relief in anything that 1 took-
My limbs were a mass of ulcers, and when
I was sent to a physician at Mobile my
entire body was a mass of so'rcs. I had
given up all hopes, aud as a last resort
tried P P P (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and
Potassium) aud after using four bottles
(small size).(the sores imve-entirely disap-
t mured, and my general liealth was never
letter than at present time. People who
know me think it a wonderful cure.

Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on
my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to
tho bone, and my whole leg below my
knee and my feet were swolen and in
flamed. The bone waaswolen find pain
ful and discharged a most offensive mat
ter. My physician said I had necrosis of
the bone, and my leg would have to come
off. At this stage 1 commenced to take P.
P P alsofb bathe my leg with hot castile
soap-suds. It began to improve at once aud
healed rapidly, and is to day a sound and
useful leg
I think P P P is all a man could ask as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure some terrible coses of sypliillis in a
remarkably short time.

now. Twice have I been honored with
this important trust and in - my humble

do, if elected, with honesty of purpose i
to the very best of my ability. How far
I have hitherto succeeded in satisfying
my constituency, I leave for them to pass

I feel that my destiny rusts anu upon it

Readers of Hawthorne’s “House of Bev-
en Gables” will recall , the pathos with
which poor Clifford Pyncheon, who had
been unjustly imprisoned since his early
manhood; said, after his release: "My life
is gone, and where is happiness? Oh I give
me my happiness.” But that could be
done only in part, as gleams of warm styi-
shinc occasionally fall across the gloom of
a New England autumn day.
In a letter to Messrs. Tliscox & Co.,
« Waycross, Ga„ Nov. 15, ’85.
Dr. W. H. Whitehead:
Dear But:—At your request I will state
my cos, Borne years ago 1 contracted ma
laria in its most violent form while living
at Newark, N. J. I. consulted various
physicians and took numberless prepare,
tlons recommended as sure cures,” but it
stuck to me like a brother—or more like a
mothcr-iu-law. I finally came South, and
while hero tried new remedies said to "nk
wavs cure malaria, but it stuck to me,
and you know the old broken-down condi
tion I \v;us in when l came to you. You
put mo to takiug your P P P and 1 im
proved rapidly, and am to-day in as good
health as 1 ever was—in fact better. As
a remedy for a* broken-down constitution
it has no equal.
. You're, etc- T P Cottre.
This is to certify that I had tho rheuma
tismfor.three,years. 1 had two physi
cians to treat me; also’ took eight , bottles
(large size) of BBS and spent mohoy for
several other medicines. I saw advertisen
as certain cures for rheumatism. Whes,
I came to.Dr. Whi'chead I was hclplcsd
could not Walk, and suffered so I could
not sleep at night. Iu fact my life was
one of continued suffering. Jlv brother
heard of Dr. Whitehead’s remedy, (Prick
ly Ash, Polk Root and Potassium) and
broughMhe doctor out' to see me, and he
put me to taking P PP. The results
were astonishing. I soon dropped my
sticks and crutches, and began to walk
about. All the swelling went down and 1
was free of pain after taking oue bottle. I
continued to take.it until I had taken
three bottles quart siae and was thorough
ly cured. I went to work on a farm, and
have worked steadily this year tending a
crop and doing other farm work. In fact
so complete was my recovery that I mar
ried, and am now in possession of health
and happiness, which is a strong contrast
to the miserable life of pain and suffering
I led before I took the greatest blood puri
fier of the «ge. of P P P.
I most earnestly recommend it to all
the unfortunate sufferers from rheumatilm.
