-■at the Court-Ground of the First District, in Pike county,
un the ’political topics of the day, on Saturday, the 4tb
day of October next.
Fire in Macon. — We have been favored with
the following piece of intelligence from Macon
‘* V A large fire occurred here this morning The
Hvashington Hall and all Mulberry Street from
Hhe Bank of Middle Georgia, to Mr. Salsbury ? s
Ulothiug Store is consumed.— Examiner.
Another Pine Buggy.
On looking through the large Carriage Reposi
tory of Messrs. Woodruff & Cos., a few days since,
we discovered another ona of those fine Buggies,
with Patent Springs, one above and one below each
axle, with body made of hickory carved in most
beautiful style, silver loops and steps. This bug
gy is at least worth looking at, and in our judg
ment, from its construction, will do good service.
Price with harness, $250, and only weighs alto
gether about 225 lbs.
Any style of Carriage may be had at this House,
upon the most favorable terms. All their work
being warranted to them and of the very best ma
terial and finish, they hazard nothing in warrant
ing the same to others. This is an old house, and
they have stood the test for years. You can rely
on w’nt they tell you. If you want a carriage,
give them a call.
Sunday Scliool Celebration.
On Saturday, the 21st inst., the Sunday School
of the Methodist Church had a Celebration, at
which about 200 Pupils were in procession They
were addressed by the Rev. C. W. Key, Pastor of
the Methodist Church, formed a procession, and
marched to the Ware House of Messrs Hill, Nall
& Hay. where they partook of a most bountiful
Pic Nic, furnished by the friends of the School for
the occasion. The Sabbath School is an institu
tion which is worthy of the support and patronage
of all good citizens.
Peaches —Second Crop.
We received, a few days since, from one of our lady
subscribers in this city, a specimen of peaches, a
second crop from the same tree this year. They
were not quite so large as the first crop, but the
taste and flavor equally as fine.
—
That Hat.
Charley Johnson, of the Hardware Store, one
of the cleverest fellows in the world, will accept
our thanks for a splendid new hat. These little
favors never come amiss. Charley’s establish
inent is now out of Hats, but if you want anything
in the Hardware line—just any thing you can call
for—that is the place to go and get them. ‘Phis
is the only house in the city, we believe, who keep
exclusively Hardware articles. Call at the sign
of the “Big Lock,” and supply your wants. Good
articles and cheap bargains can be hud there.
Fine Che-vviug Tobacco.
The lovers of the “nauseous weed,” will find at
Mr. J. F. McLendon’s store an article a little su
perior to any thing of the kind we have ever seen
in this market. It is the leaf of the genuine old
Virginia stamp, pure and unadulterated by any
noxious drugs. It would even be excusable in a
lady to use this tobacco. We have tried it, but
don’t take our word for it. Go and try for your
selves.
Large Potatoes.
Mr. James Gardner has left at our office a spe
cimen of sweet potatoes, which surpasses any thing
we had conceived of for the present year. They
weighed over three pounds each. Beat this who

Godey’s Lady’s Book.
This truly valuable publication, came to hand
■with its usual punctuality. Godey is always in
time. The October number just received, has
three full page colored engravings, the greatest
number ever yet given in any one number of a
Magazine, besides the usual variety. The present
number contains GO Engravings, 100 pages, and 74
articles. The Star of Dawn will attract attention
and be admired by all who sec it. Asa family pa
per, Godey has stood unrivalled for more than half
a century, and its usefulness and popularity in
crease with every succeeding volume. We com
mend it to the patronage of all our readers.
Arthur’s Home Magazine.
We received at our sanctum, ahead of the usual
time, this truly welcome visitor for October. The
work is now passing through its eighth volume,
and is rapidly growing into public favor. Arthur
is certainly one of the best literary waiters of the
age. The present number of the Magazine is em
bellished with a number of most beautiful engra
vings. Its Fashion Plate is inimitable. Arthur,
in our estimation, is excelled by none, and equalled
only by Godey in the literary world. The work
is published in Philadelphia, at S2 per annum for
one copy, or 4 copies for §5, and cheap at that, as
our friend Beeks says by the butter.
Porter’s Spirit of tlie Times.
We have received the first number of the above
“spirited” newspaper, and are so well pleased
with it that we can. without exaggeration or false
praise, safely recommend it to our readers as an
excellent publication.
Gin Manufactory.
S. C. Mitchell carries on the above business in
the City of Griffin extensively. We had the plea
sure a day or two since, of looking through the es
tablishment, and found every thing in first rate or
der. The machinery is propelled by steam, and the
Gins manufactured by Mr. M will compare favor
ably with any made at the South. His work has
stood the test of many years experiment, and can
be vouched for by hundreds in this part of Geor
gia-

Messrs. Fleming Bro—Dear Sirs : There were several ca
ses of Chills aud Fever in my mother’s family at the time
we received the M’Lane’s Liver Pills, ordered in my letter
of June 12th, and a few dosca administered in each case,
produced the desired effect, tlmsdemonstrating the efficien
cy of these celebrated Pills in that disease.
Mother has not been troubled with the sick-headache
since she lias commenced taking these Pills, and as we have
but few of them left, you will please send us another dol
lar’s worth. Direct as before, to Austin, Texas.
Respectfully yours,

Otoituary
Died in the City of Griffin Ga.,on the 20th inst, of infla
mationoftlie brain, Mas Ann E A Daniel, consortof L R
Daniel, Esq, and niece of Mrs Sarah and Judge J B Reid, in
the 21st year of herage.
In offering this tribute to the memory of this estimable
Lady, the writer feels a degree of diffidence in portraying a
character in which were so many amiable traits of Christian
excellences. But few I have ever known of her age, if any,
who have afforded a better specimen of Christian gentle
ness and modesty,and who labored more devoutly in an
unobtrusive way, to cultivate those graces which adorn the
Christian cliarcter, than she did. Raised and taught by
pious parents, the great doctrines of the Holy Scriptures,
she exemplified them in after years. At the age of fifteen
she embraced religion and joined the M E Church, and
from that day to the time of her death it seemed to be her
great concern to walk w orthy of the high vocation where
with she was called. She was naturally gentle, modest,
amiable, and retiring in her disposition, and it was only to
know her to love her, and those who knew he best loved
her most. For several months before her death she was
observed to become more interested to cultivate the piety
of her heart, as if she felt impressed that her time on earth
was short. She seemed to have entered into the anti-cham
ber of heaven to put on the beautiful robe of righteousness,
that she might be a welcome guest at the heavenly feast.—
Iu the death of this Christian lady, a vacuum has been made
in the hearts of a wide circle of relatives and friends which
will not be soon filled. A husband has been deeply stricken,
and sisters mourn the loss of one dear indeed to them ; the
Church is deprived of a bright Christian example ; but
their loss is her eternal gain, and they mourn not as those
who have no hope. She has gone to join her sainted pa
rents in the general assembly and Church of the first bom,
and we will not deplore thee, for “Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord ; yea saith the spirit, for they rest
from their labors.” PASTOR.

Tribute of Respect.
Pickling Lodge, No 129,)
Sep. 12. 1850. f
The committee to whom was entrusted the drafting of
resolutions expressive of our sorrow for the loss of our Ju
nior warden, brother W. IV. Wiggins, submit the following:
Death has again invaded our ranks. The Providence of
God has removed from our midst our worthy brother, W.
W. Wiggins. Ilis moral worth and public service, togetb.
er with his official relation to this Lodge, demand a public
manifestation of our sympathy and respect. Therefore
be it
Resolved, That while we bow with humble submission to
the will of Him who does all things well, we can but mourn
the fall of our brother in the prime of life, and in the midst
of his usefulness.
2. That in the death of brother Wiggins, the county has
lost an efficient officer, the community a good citizen, and
our beloved Institution a worthy member and excellent Ju
nior Warden.
3. That we tender to the friends and relatives of the de
ceased, and more especially to liis bereaved parents, our
deep and sincere sympathy for the ca amity which has so
unexpectedly befallen them.
4. That in respect to the memory of our deceased brother,

usual badge of mourning 30 days.

SCIRRHUS BREAST can be CURED
Let the Public Read!
IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude and high opin
ion I entertain of DR. MOSELEY as a Surgeon and Phy
sician, 1 deem it my duty to mention the case of my wife,
hoping at tlie same time that all persons similarly afflicted,
may be benefitted by it. In the first part of this year, my
wife had several small lumps make tlieir appearance iu her
breast; they continued to increase in size, untiltlie whole
breast became a diseased mass, and very painful. 1 procured
tlie best medical aid m the city of Rome,and notwithstanding
the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi
cians, she continued to grow worse and worse, until they
gave tlie case up as incurable, and advised amputation. I
was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of
Griffin, Ga., which I did, and, astonishing as it may seem,
he had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now
in goal health! I would advise all who are afflicted with
Sclrrhus, aud Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience and observation,
that lie is the most skillful physician in the Southern States,
in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.

Professor O. J. Wood’s
Hair Restorative, for producing hair on Bald Heads, and
restoring Gray Hair to its Natural color.
THIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has never
failed to produce a growth on Bald Heads, when used
according to the directions, and turn hair back to its orig.
inal color, after having become grey, and reinstate it in all
its original health, lustre, softness, and beauty. Removes
at once all scurf, and unpleasant itching, scrofula, erup
tions aud feverish heat from the scalp. It also prevents
the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off, and
hence acts as a perfect Hair invigorator and Tonic.
A L'autlciuan ot Boston writes to his friends in New Bed
ford thus:
To your inquires I would reply, that I first commenced
using Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, my hair was almost
white and had been so for the last ten years, and it was
very thin on the top of my head, and very loose, and pulled
out freely; but I found before I bad used all of the second
bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my hair was entirely
changed to its original color, (light brown) and is now free
from dandruff, and quite moist. 1 have had my hair cut 5
or 6 times since the change, and have never seen anything
like white hair starting from the roots: and it is now as
thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all. It has
prevailed in my case all that I could wish to ask.
July 1, 1855. Yonrs&c.
Gardinkr, Maine, June 22,1854.
Dear Sir: I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative, and can truly say. it is the greatest discovery
of the age, for restoring and changing the hair
Before using it, I wasas gray as a man of seventy. My hair
has now attained its original color. You can recommend
it to the world,without the least fear, as my case was one
of the worst kind.
D N MURPHY.
St. Louis, March 7 1854.
Prof. Wood: My hair commenced falling off some three
or four years since, and continued to do so, untill I became
quite bald. I tried all the popular medicines of the day,
but lo no effect. At last, I was induced to try your celebra

This is to certify, that one year ago, I was quite gray,
,\nd my hair so thin upon the top of my head, that I feared
its .entire loss. In this condition, I applied for and obtain
ed a bottle of Prot. Wood’s 1 Restorative,’ and before I had
used one quart bottle, the gray hairs had entirely disap
peared and it had thickened up, so as to he full as usual and
it assumed a glossy appearance, appearently more beautiful
than everit was before. Ido therefore, cheerfully recom
mend it to all those ladies who value a beautiful head of
hair I will also state that I uso it now, occasionally, for

I have used Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative to decided
advantage. It prevents the hair from coming out, gives it
a gloss and softness ve y desirable. The Lew gray hairs I
had, have entirely disappeared. Others of my family have
used it, aud concur with me in pronouncing it all it profess
es to be.

COTTON HARVESTER, FOR TICKING
COTTON IN THE FIELD.
THIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of
the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable
change in the method of gathering cotton from the field —.
It will do tlie work of from three to five hands in picking
cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma
chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks
the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra
pidity of its ivork, will enable the Planter to prepare his
crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the
improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general
arrangement of the Plantation.
It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by Si
strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank
turned by the hand or fingers, The simplicity of this ma
chine is its leading feature—it is fiot liable to get out of of
der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to
use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series
of years.
We are now selling State and County Rights for the man
ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infoination
relative thereto,can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbur,
General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro
lina, at his office, 111 Bay Street, Savannah, Ga., or at the
