We learn with regret that our young
friend Dow Wyatt, who has been suffer
i g from an attack of typhoid fever, is
no better. His physician Dr. Malone,
has given him every attention and en
tertains hopes that he will be convales
cent in a few days.
Mr. Geohoe King, a nephew of
Dr. C. King, and brothei of Mrs. J. A.
Taliaferro, of this county, died last
Saturday morning of chronic dysentery.
Mr. King had been living in Haralson
county, where he had hoped the free
stone water would restore him to health,
but finding his constitution rapidly giv"
ing way, he was brought to this county,
at his request and placed under the cate
of his relatives. He was buried with
Masonic honors beside his parents on
Mr. Taliaferro’s place, on Sunday.
The boys have organized a base
club and have resurrected the name of
the old Chcrokees who won laurels a
few years back. There are a great
many old fogies who are opposed to the
boys’ base ball notions, but we believe
there is much in the national game
to develop their physical capacities, nev
ertheless. The club, though composed
mostly of inexperienced players, has re
ceivcd a challenge from the Crawford
club of Daltou, which they propose to
accept. The game is to be played, we
understand, on the 25th instaut, in Cal
houn.
Where raiu has been plentiful in
our county, corn continues to look well,
though in portions of the county
the farmers have been without a shower
for six weeks. In such localities corn,
is begincing to suffer same. The gen
eral crop, however, should good seasons
favor from this on, will be very gcod.
Cotton h'as been set back by the dry
weather also in some parts of the coun
ty. The continued rains a few weeks
back caused the squares to shed a grea 1
deal, and our farmers do uot expect a
full crop.
Just before going to press we are fa
vored with some intelligence from the
movements of the grasshoppers. In
this and the uppor portion of the coun
ty they have done no serious damage
and aie creating no alarm. In Oothca
loga valley, however, they are threaten.-
ing lively destructi n. They attacked
the corn on Mr. Pres. Dyer’s place the
other day and have left about four acres
in a ruined condition. He drove them
out of his corn field and they have since
been in his cotton,stripping it to the stalk
as they went. Ilis hands are engaged
in destroying them with brush, and he
thinks he will be able to prevent fur
ther damage. Our informant says he
saw where they had eaten the leaves
from cherry and walnut trees and where
they went through a clover field it had
the appearance of an old sage field that
had been burned off In the upper edge
of Bartow they have become tired fight
ing them, but are determined to whip
them out if possible.

Retrenchment,
A careful statement prepared by Mr*
Springer, of llliuois, appearing in the
Congressional Record, gives the esti,
mates for each appropriation bill, the
amount appropriated by the House for
the fiscal yea" ending June 30, 1877,
the reductions made in each bill below
the estimates an l the reductions made
by the House below the amounts appro
priated for the year ending June 30,
1870. The total reduction be’ow the
estimates of the departments are $64,'
362,116,90. The total reductions of
appropriations made below the last fiscal
year are $28,516,312,02. This last to
tal may be reduced three or four mil*
lions by the Conference reports, but the
grand total of actual saving to the
treasury by the Democratic House will
reach full thirty-five millions of dollars,
while the amount appropriated is sixty
millions of dollars less than was asked
for by the Republican administration.
As Mr. Cox stated in debate, this really

The Century of Independence em

history of America : also a chronogical
record of the principal events from its

Nearly 600 pages. Price $2.0 ).
Never before has so much practical
information of this nature been pub’ish
ed in any one volume.
While there are many treatise pur
porting to give valuable statistics of
America in convenient form, it will be
found upon examination that they
contain a voluminous amount of mat
ter which is of no utility to any citi
zen.
A comparison of the various produc
tions w'll convince any intelligent per*
son that the “Century of Independence”
embraces the important documents to be
ound in (hem all while it omits that
which is superfluous and adds iustead a
vast collecti in of invaluable facts. No
other arrangement gives one-fourth the
information in the same space and the
arrangement is what makes it inval
uable as a reference book, it having
been complied under the immediate
supervision of officials at Washing

Ihe lawyer, banker, merchant and
farmer will each conclude that it must
have been prepared especially with ref
ference to his convenience.
It is designated for this work to take
the place in politics that Webster’s Dic

Gazetteer in general literature. The
binding, paper anJ! illustrations have
been made to compare with the general
character of the work. <
Though a person can boa good citi

good citizen can enjoy the right of fran

MALARIAL REGIONS.
The inhabitants of malarial districts
who are constantly breathing an impure
and poisoned atmosphere are subject to
lingering and malignant and fatal
diseases, such as Ague, Typhoid Fevei
and Yellow Fever and Asiatic Cholera.
In many sections of the western coui -
try almost every one is subject to chills
and fever, an ailment most difficult to
cure. The unhealthy effects of living
in such miasmatic sections are destroyed
by the free use of Dr. Iladcliff’s Seven
Seals or Golden Wonder. This stan®
dard remedy is unequaled for the pre
vention and cure of the class of dis
eases prevalent in low and marshy
lands, and, being a purely
vegetable preparation ; can be used iu
any quantity without danger to the sys

THE KEW FAMILY
SINGER
Sewing Machine.

WITH ATTACHMENTS
Por All Kinds of Work.
is fast winning favor in the household, a s
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such a
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and,t n a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted fur
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular and
practical machines for manuf i during pur
poses, some dealers, using “ the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family. M
achine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity ferriage and variety of work, tine
or coarse—learing all rivals behind it.
Sewing Machine Sales of 187<#
The table of sewing machine sales for
1874 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,097 machines, being a
large increase over the sales of the previ
ous year. The table shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company' for the
period named, by the number of 148,8-52
machines, nearly
Th ree Times Those of any other Com
pany.
It may be further stated that the sales of
1878, as compared with the sale of 1872,
show a relatively large increas< beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 we sold 45,000 more machines than
any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the
sales were
113,254 Machines in Excess of Our
Highest Competitor.
And in 1974 our sales were
1-48,852 Machines More Than
Any Other Company.
OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following is a correct report of the
sales of sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies during the past four years.
A careful examination of the figures will
show that the “SINGER” have largely in
creased each year, while, on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has its re
ward.”
