THIEVES About Our friend Coleman hands
us the following. We have no doubt the Mar
shall has only to know the facts Of this robbery
in order to catch the thieves if they can be
found:
MEssRS EDIToRS-P.casc allow me through
your paper to warn all persons at work on new
buildings to look sharp after :her working
tools, for during the past week. some mean
scamp or scamps have entered the building of
DR.. Travenier aud taken thercfrom. one plas-
ter trowcl. one saw and lath axe, also a well
rope; and believe it must be some old hand
at the business, for they have taken the best
tools and left the others. Now l hope all
persons will be careful and not leave their
tools exposed to the lurking midnight thief :;
and also that the City Marshal will keep his
''eye skinned" when on his rounds.
Yours truly,
WM. COLEMAN.

Good and Better.

A father sits by the chimney post
On winters day, enjoying n roast;
By his side maiden young and fair,
girl with wealth of golden hair
And she tcsscs the father stern and cold,
With question Of duty, tritc and old
Say, father, what shall n maiden do,
When man Of merit comes to wooy
And father, what OF this pain in my breast
Married or singlc--whicl is the bcstl"
Then the sire Of the maiden young and fair
The girl of the wealth Of golden hair
He answers as ever do fathers cold,
To the question of duty, trite and old:
"Shc who wedde,h Keeps Gods letter;
She who wcds not docth better"
Then meckly answered the maiden fair,
The girl with the wealth of golden hair
will keep the sense Of the Holy Letter
Content TO do well without doing better"

f" Going to Texas"

The tide of emigration seems TO set strong
~ towards Texas and Louisiana large
number of our old, respectable and wealthy
planters have during the last twelve months,
moved 20 the west How many will realize
their fond hopes of doubling their property.
we cannot say--how many will find an early
grave from the perils by land and water, and
the terrible cpidcmics. that range in that sec
ion of the country, we cannot safely conjec-
ture. But looking at the fate of those who
persisted, or lost their all on the steamer Gcor-
gin, :.,d the sad loss of life by cholera, rcpor-
ted in our paper to-day, in family from this
State, on their arrival in Texas, we cannot
suppress the conviction that the wiser plan is
TO stay where there are thousands Of acres OF
the richest land unclcarcd, where ts.c blessings
OF health and education may bc enjoyed, and
ties OF kindred and friendship remain unbrok-
ON, when the irosts of age settle upon The
patriarchs OF the family. Tho young may
venture boldly where danger Is most immi.
ncnt and grasp the main chance to build up
fortune in the uncxplorcd regions of the
West, but in the name of humanity and com
mon sense, let fhc old people stay where the
comforts thnt so much tend to soothc the ia,
of the aged TO tho grave, are peacefully and
abundantiy enjoyed Fsdeyul Taion
You ARE too late, friend AS well may you
attempt TO stem or turn tho current OF that
mighty river that divides ns, ms to stem the
tide of emigration that Is pouring into Texas
from all parts of the Union. And allow us to
say, it is somewhat unjust, remembering the
almost unceasing accidents on the Mississippi,
and the late fearful epidemic which ragged in
Louisiana and Mississippi, to single ont the
one or two accidents that occur with us, or
the occasional prevalence Of slight epidemics,
and attempt to frighten people into staying
with you. Those who have ventured all, and
como out here, why do they not pack UP and
return 10 their old settlements? Why do they
write to their friends, come and Join uss Can
you of Georgia compare with Texas for fertil.
ity of land, healihiness of climate, purity o!
water, soundness Of education, and facility for
its acqnsitions IL SO, say not word; facts
will speak for themselves your citizens will
soon return to you. But no. None are leav-
ing, to compensate for the thousands that arc
coming. Then, take our advice. Cease your
croaking. Pack mp your press, and come
along with us" There's plenty of room and
plenty of Gcorgians to support you Marshall

GREAT DEMAND.

There seems to be a universal demand in our
city for J. l.. Curtis. Compound Syrup Of Sassy
ytraS. This article has been tried and used with
the most powerful effect, in the very worst ca
ses of measles, coughs, colds, hoarseness, con-
sumption, whoopingcough and all diseases of
the lungs OF long standing, and is now the most
popular and beneficial medicine used for all
these diseases for which it is so highly recon-
mended.
J. L. Curtis Original MamaluSe is now ac-
knowledged by all persons of experience as
the best stimulant ever used for the cure of all
these diseases for which it is so highly recon-
mended, and in which it has been so successful
" used. 1t stands unparalleled by any medi-
cine ever offered to the public. A fresh sup
ply of these medicines has just been received
by the agents. Those persons who are not
supplied had better call on some agent and sup
ply their families. Take none unless signed by
