We clip the following from the Caf
roll Free Press, written by J. T. D.
Whitesburg:
We are indebted to some friend, or
the editor, for a copy of last weeks /is
sue of the “Douglasville Star” for
which thanks. Well do we remember,
when under the editorial management
of that towering mind, and sterling
Christian patriot, Rev. J. B. C. Qui -
lian, that “Star” began to shine in
Douglasville, and though it has chang
> ed editors several times, yet it has con
tinued to shine for temperance and
the upbuilding of Douglas county and
the interest of her people until now
and no doubt the citizens of Douglas
feel proud of and will give good pat
ronage to their “Star.”
Os Interest to Ladies.
The new treatment for ladies’ dis
eases discovered by Dr. Mary A.
• Gregg, the distinguished English
Physician and nurse, which has rev
olutionized the entire mode of treat
ing these complaints in England is
now being introduced into the U. 8.
under a fair and novel plan.
Sufficient of this remedy for one
month's trial treatment is sent/We to
every lady who is suffering from any
disease common to the sex who sends
her address and 13 2ct stamps for ex
pense, charges, etc.
It is a positive cure for any form
of female disease and the free trial
package many times sufficient to
effect a permanent cure. Full direc
tions accompany the package (which
is put up in a plain wrapper) also
price list for future reference. Ao
trial packages will be sent after Aug.

by use of a few bottles. Since which time he
has used it in his family for all Coughs and
Colds with best results. This i sthe experience
of thousands whose lives have been saved by
this Wondefrul Discovery.

An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says.
“Having received so much benefit from Electric
Bitters, i feel it my duty to let suffering human
ity know it. Have had a running sore on my
leg for eight years, doctors told me I would have
to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I
used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters
and seven boxes Bucklen‘s Arnica Salve, and
my leg is now sound and well.“
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle,
and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 25c. per box at

celebration during the summer.
Mr. Editor, some time ago we stated that Col.
W. T. Wberts would get a majority' votes in
this section. Having since that time talked to
several of ourlltfcsenß I find them decidedly in
favor of Watson. While in our opinion the two
gentlemen of which either one would ably and
honorably represent Douglas county I have not
the faintest doubt. But at any rate, a man who
is popular with the people, and who to the high
est virtues oi a gentleman. Douglas eoiuicycould
not confer the office upon any one of her citizens
more gilted, talented and worthy of the trust
than John Pendleton Watson.

He is now on the right track. By the way he is
I a clever fellow any way.
I The farmers of this section are about through

The farme. club at this place will pic de in

Everybody invited to attend. Hope J. S. James
will be on hand and give us a speech. You have
a special invitation Mr. Editor and we will ex

This community is divided on Stock law elec

DUE EAST.
The farmers of this section are about through
plant ng cotton and are preparing to plow corn,
of which there is a very poor stand.
Tug Blair will not run for the Legislature. He
will support Mr. J. P. Watson.
Mr. Editor.—We are anxiously waiting for
your first Issue in May to see your ticket for the
different offices. Make a good decision and we
will help you to elect them.
BDe Baggett is working like a clever fellow.
S. S. proposses to carry t oss the prize
next time. Tell your Douglasville school to
move up. Don't want to beat them too bad.
A good many from this section will go to At
lanta the first of May to see Jeff Davis.
Very little talk here about the stock law.
We understand that the Hon. W. A. James
will not be a candidate for the Legislature.
Therefore the race is between Mr. J. P. Watson
and Col. W. T. Roberts. They are both clever
gentlemen and it is hard to decide between their,.
but Mr. Watson should go this time, he has been
waiting patiently for his turn. He has lived
here all of his life and what has been Douglas*
interest is his interest. He is kind-hearted, al
ways ready to help the poor and needy. Col.
Roberts has lieen a citizen of the county for the
last four years and has liecome identified it is
true, but, we doirt think his time has come yet.
Col. can't you “let up" this time? Pen must go
