FUBLXTHED EVERY 7CF.HDAY BY
Chas. Q. Peavy-
Douglas Co. Official Organ.
Entered at the post office at Douglasville,
Ga„ asseeond class mail matter.
JUNE ieih/1885.
Wabwington, June 13. —The
president appointed Frank Gordon,
of Georgia, son of General John B,
Gordon, to be principal clerk of the
surveys of the general land office.
Mr. Gordon is a young lawyer, of
Atlanta, and is a ton of ex-Senator
Gordon. He succeeds Oscar Hin
richs, removed.
Whenever a Georgia Bond is put on the
market, our Democratic fritnds cry out
'Great irthe Credit of Georgia.” They c'aiiu
that Georgia pays ali of her obligations
wbenevar they are dn > knowingtheir caim
to be utterly false. Georgia has not only
lepodiated keel obligation; > in the hand* of
purchasers, but she denies the
parties who have pa d value for her bonds the
Oght to take the judgment of her own courts
an the validity 01 those bonds. So in tue
bond business the State ofG.wgia acts not
onlv the role of the thief and r< bbe »but also
of the oowa»d. The man who claims that
Georgia meets all ter legal obligationsis
simply a liar.
‘ The lying carpet-bagger who wrote
the above must hove been in part
nership with Hanry Clews, R. B.
Bullock, st. al. who tried to
steal Georgia, and (hove the whole
4UXe down in their pistol pockets.
a White Negro.
Macon, (ia„ June 13.—Out on
Fourth street resides l oin Jones, a
negro man who is fifty-five years old.
Sometime ago curious white spots
began to appear on his hands. His
friends thought that he had contract
ed some amknown ditease, and
suggested to him to call on a physi
cian. Tim Jones refused to do, say
ing that the s|m4s him no pain.
About a weok ago Jones’ arm be- i
gan to turn white, and soon after, 1
Targe white spots appeared all over
his body. His friends again suggest
ed to him to call in a physician, but
he indignantly refused, saying that
freedom had coeae and the Lord
intended to Utrn all the negroes
white.
Jones’ strange whiteness became
known to the negroes in the city, and
many of them at once accepted his
explanation of it. They were highly
elated, believing, as one old aunty
expressed it. “Hat de Lord done’
termined to make white Jo’ke outen
de niggers w Their view of the mat
ter has bees strengthened by the
appearance of more white spots on
Jones ard his continued refusal to
have a physician visit him.
Mr. Of-car Redlfoh, who conversed
with the while negro to-day sa\a that
there is do doubt about lie man’s
turning while, and that to him the
thing is unaovountable. There is no
appearsaoe of disease, and the negro.
While the middle age is strong
•nd beaUfay, Qthsra who ha.e seen
tbe ®a® are anxious for some physi
cian to examine the freak of nature
presented by the case. In the mean-
Ueas the tamainder of the Mat-on ne
groes maintain their usual color.

I have token Swift’s Specific for
Wood poison coni r&cted ala medical
yellege at a dissection, while I was
a medical student. Ism grateful to
say that, it gave tue a speedy and
thorough cure after my pan nts had
•pent hundreds of dollats for treat
ment. My arm was swollen to twice
its usual sise, amt as nothing helped
me I was despairing of ever being
cured. But heating of the 8. S. 8..
I bought a bottle, little thinking I
would derive any benefit from it. j
began taking it regulai ly, and soon
the swelling began l<» go <town ami
the arm ceased to pain me. I con
tinned its use, and after taking eight
bottles was thoroughly cured.

The finest tonic for the nervous people is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which in
sures perfect digestion and assimilation,
and the active performance of their lune,
tions by the liver and bowels. As the
system acquires tone through the influence
of this benign medicine, the nerves grow
stronger and more tranquil, headaches
cease, aud that nameless anxiety which is
a peculiarity of the dyspeptic, gives way
1 to cheerfulness. To establish health on *
sure foundation, use the peerless mvigor
ant. For sale by all Druggists and Dealers
generally.
