The formal opening of the rew Kimball house, which occurs next Thursday night, promises to be the most brilliant social event ever hav ing taken place in Atlanta. The occasion deserves such a celebration and should have the goed will and encouragement of every citizen of Atlanta, and all who can, should avail themselves of the opportunity of attending. Mrs. Tom Woods, living near Lafayette, had a strange visitor to spend the night with her a few days since—u turkey buzzard. Going into an unused room she found it very quitely and peaceably perched upon the head of the bed. The men iiad been burning off the woods the day before up above the house, and it is thought’ he became frightened or overcome in some way, and in the evening took refuge in the house. Jackson Argus: A rather singular circumstance oceured in the neigh borhood of Stark, in this county, a fthort time <>go. It appears that a| certain family had a worthless dog and wished to get rid of it. One of the gir's of the family took a maul and crushed the dog’s head and threw the carcass into an old well, where it remained some three weeks and had almost been forgotten. A few days ago the dog walked into the house and stopped immediately in front of the girl that had mashed its head, pre enting the evidence of its harsh treatment, the skull crush ed and the brains oozing from the wound. At the sight of the dog, the old lady fainted and the girl sprang up on the middle of the bed, in her lri>*ht, at the pittiful looking animal that all supp sed to Ih dead, and at the bottom of a deep well. Quite an amusing episode occur ed in the grand jury room at Amer icus Wed’y. One of the most clever and prosperous farmers of the coun ty was brought before the grand jury to testify against some you- g men who had been indicted for playing poker for money. He proved to be a perfect “know ntthing.” At the conclusion of his testimony he asked to address tht jury. Drawing from his pocket a hand book he stated he was trying to organize a Sunday school in his settlement, and he wanted each of the eanv st workers tor morality present to j;ive him 25 cents towards advancing the good cause. 11? says he did not mevt with much encouragement to assure the succe-s of his Sunday schcol ven ture.

I have bad a most distressing case of inherited scrofula for the last thir ty years, which has been under treat ment of many of our best known phys icians without any visible effect, but wns relieved by the use of Swift’s Specific. lam sure if any one will give this medicine a patient, faithful trial it will give them the same relief, for my case was regarded almost hopeless by many. Os course, it would not take the same time or quan tity for a younger person or the dis ease in earlier stages. Even if it did not postively cure (which is almost impossible in cases of inherited afflic tion), it will give you renewed strength, flesh,vitality even, although , reduced to a “confirmed invalid” as was my condition. For children v.hG are weak, subject ’ to colds, especialy those inclined to catarrh, or for any skin eruption, I consider it infal’ible. As a general , household remedj,itis unequalled. I wish it was in my power to do justice to this wonderful medicine. It has done so much for me, I feel I can never repay my debt of gratitude.

At , times I was incapable of doing my . household work. I tried every ' remedy that was suggested and was [ treated by physicians, but to no avail , About six months ago I was induced ’ to try Swift’s Specific, and have ta ken six bottl s. It has entirely ( cured me, there have been no signs i of return of the disease apparent. . My general health has been greatly improved. As a tonic and blood purifierS. S. S. has no superior.
