REGISTRATION IN GEORGIA. .-Advices from
Georgia state that the registration Of voters in
that State, un0er the reconstruction act, has
been completed, although the full returns from
al the different counties have not yet been re-
sc0fved. 1t seems that the number OF white
voters registered falls short OF the number CAL
cuIated upon, when the registration COM
menced. about $4,000. IL was expected tina.
the whites would have q majority of about
$4,000, but the most reliable estimates from the
retprns received thus far guarantee the pre-.
diction that the blacks will have majority of
one or two thousand.-N. y. Times.

Vbe required security being given by John
Heuermann and Frank CORY, Jones was set
at liberty. The entire affair was managed
very uety. He conducted himself with
creditable modesty, and evinced desire to

Notice to the Public.

In the year 1916, the writer embarked in the
Drug Business in the city of Philadelphia, and
while thus engaged, made several experiments in
regard to the most desirable mode of preparing
Ruid Extracts. My efforts being successful-the
articles being approved and used by the Medical,
Faculty. was desirous OF placing them before
the public, but hesitated for some time before
concluding to resort to newspaper advertising,
knowing of the prejudices that existed in the
minds Of many against using advertised Medicines
or NOSt7aS, but through the advice of friends and
those who had used them this objection over
come
After1S years exertions, commencing in small
way, the popularity of my articles has extended
to all parts of the United States, and widely
throughout Foreign countries-and this in the
face ofmuch opposition. Every means has been
resorted to by unprincipled dealers since their
merit and success have been known-such as ad
yertising larger bottles at less price, censuril all
other preparations, and even copying amy adver-
tisements-but am happy to state that out of the
many who have resorted to this, none have been
MY OBJECT
in this notice is TO make facts known to the pub
lie and respectable dealers, believing, after so
many years eXertions, the the Druggists will dis
countenance such proceedings, and that the rep
utation of my articles may not be damaged by the
use of inferior or spurious ones.
Knowing that many may read this article who
are unacquainted with me, 1append a few remarks
from those of my native city, and whose names
are known in all parts of the world:
Helmbold it affords me pleasure in stating l have
been most favorably impressed with his energy
and integrity, and gratitied at his success"

Rejection of NInior Howe.

The telegraph reports the rejection by the
Senate of Major Church Howe as collector
OF internal revenue for this district. We had
nothing to do or say liz regard to the re-
moval Of Major Howes predecessor; but after
being informed that it was to be done, we
wrote q brief recommendation Of Major
Howe as candidate coming within the res
olution passed by Congress- recommending
the appointment of meritorious soldiers to
the public offices. We knew Major Howe
as Republican; young man of great &C
tivity, who rallied in the service of the coun-
try upon the instant of President Lincolns
requisition for troops to defend the capital,
and was in the 9th Massachusetts regiment,
that, in the city of Baltimore, in April 1861
gave the first martyrs for the maintenance
of the Government Major Howe's record
of service in various positions during the war
is one of which he may well feel proud. As
collector he has shown himself competent
and efficient for good service for the Gov
ernment and the people; and unless there is
some political reason that has not come to
our knowledge we cannot regard the rejec-
ton of Major Howe otherwise than as mis-.
