Come and Gone.

DeCastor, the ventriloquist and
illusionist, exhibited three nights, in
this place, last week, to large and
lucrative audiences. He advertised
to "give away one hundred and fifty
costly prizes"-aud the audience
thought thOy were Gerry costly---to
them. He had small envelopes, in
side of which were blanks and num-
bers these were sold six for ST.
The highest plizes were $40 andS3O
in greenbacks. With 100 costly
gifts, this was an inducement. 1t

peoples money. We invested sew

envelopes, we got two numbers

Barnums Mammoth Show.

We presume that there is hardly
a man, woman or child in the civil
lied world, but that has heard of
p. #. BARNUM, the "Prince of Show
men," Always excelIihg all others
in the magnitude and excellence of
his entertainments, he resolved some
two years ago to organize and put
upon the road, an exhibition, such
as the world had never seen, and
which should constitute the crown
ing triumph of his managerial ca
rcer.
Agents were Immediately dis
patched to every quarter of the
globe, with instructions to purchase
anything and everything ofsa rare,
curious or wonderful nature, and he
now comes before the public with his
great travelling Worlds Fair, an in
stitution so vast that seventy cars
and four locomotives are necessary
for.its transportation, while several
mammoth tents, covering nearly five
acres of ground, are required to con-
tain the multitudinous array of Won
dcrs.
In this great enterprise, Mr.. Bar
mum has invested fabulous sum of
money and his daily expenses, we
are told, exceed five thousand dol
lars. But, Barnum's enterprises are
always colossal. Years ago he re
solved to have the most and the best,
and how well he has succeeded in
keeping his resolution, let the his
tory of his celebrated Museum in
New York, his engagements with
Jenny Lind and his present re
markable enterprise, attest. 1t has
ever been his boast that he gave
five times as much for the money as
any other Manager, and now he prot
poses to do even better than that
Notwithstanding the great array of
wonderful things to be seen in Mr..
Barnum's great show, one ticket ad-
mits the holder to all the mammoth
paviliors and to the entire exhibit
ton. = s.a..f. ... +. esett
On Thursday, December 9th, the
great show is to exhibit in Marietta
and an.immense crowd may. be an
ticipated, for Barnum's name is a
tower of strength, while his exhibit
ton is the largest in the world
Read the advertisement in another

Jury retired and after sometime rem
dered a verdict of'''Not Guilty"
The Court, Thursday, was occu-

A Heroine

Since the war, the Southern wo-
men, in their impoverished condi>
ton, have exhibited some ofthe sub
FINEST courage and most indomitable
energy, that ever characterized her
sex at any period of tho worlds his
tory. Women that were strangers
to the rougher usagos and labors of
life, have since tie war, thrown OIL
all false notions of the dignity of la
Dor, and grappled with the stern re-
alitics of the times, with a heroism
and determination that make their
history glorious and memorable.
A lady, of this county, thrown
upon her own limited resources, for
supplying the necessities and COM
forts for herself and the children de-
pendent upon her, rented five acres
of land from Mr.. j. N Russell, of
this county land, for cotton plant.
ing, that was considered unproduc-
tive but with a purpose and will,
she went to work, applied fertilizers
and raised its productive quality,
and this year the ground yielded
four large, heavy bags of cotton.
She did this without the assistance
Of a plowman, and only with the
strength of her two good arms and
with such agricultural implements as
they could WELD, and in the mefn-
time none of the domestic duties of
home were neglected. Last year,
her toll was crowned with almost
the same success. Noble heroine !!
she sets an example, that the more
faint hearted of tho opposite sex
might emulate with profit.

The Warning has been heeded.

Since the exposure of attempts made by
certain unscrupulous local dealers, to palm off
coarse astringemts, made from cheap and impure
mat erials, in the place Of the great national
tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitter', public
opinion has Set strongly against these empires
and their preparations. Their occupation is
gone or sobnwillbe, When the light is bet
into deception it soon willis down. Persons
who trife with their own health, by using UNI
known preparations, with no guarantee to sus-
ain them, when an established specific. proven
by twenty years experience to be exactly what
is is claimed to be, is within their reach, are
sure to repent their temerty, Many have done
to in this instance, but it is hoped that the truth
plainly spoken has arrested the evil; In the
meantime the demand for the leading protective

Twenty Years Younger,-To say that
hundreds Of maids, wives and widows looks 20
years younger than they are in consequence of
the complexionaI freshness derived from the use
Of HAGAE's MAGNOLIA BALM, is simply to
state am absolute fact, which might be promptly
verified by direct testimony if ladies were as
willing to tell their ageas TO use the best meats
of making themselves lovely. Nature some
times, but very rarely, crowns the charm of
perfect features with complexion of exquisit
clearness; but even then ti;ue soon begins to
make inroads upon the velvet cheek, the fair
white brow, the ivory bust, the rounded arm.
To preserve the "glory Of woman" unblemslI-

ETY.. lie is tremendously pious, but
believes the religious basis. of the

that men worship the wrong being,
and that man would be happier and
more successful if he were to offer
up his devotions to and ask the aid
of his Satanic majesty, instead Of APP
pealing to the Throne of Light. He
pretends to believe that Satan is the
God of the world and ought to have
due respect paid to him as SUCH.

start prayer meeting after his own
crecd but the enterprise failed and
he is as yet the only acknowledge

A LATE CERTIFICATE UPON THE SUBJECT
of DR.. JESSE GREENS cure of
DRopsY, Of Cherokee County.
q Do HEREBY CERTIFY, that nv wifi,

DO HEhEb1 CEhllf1, that my vile
n has been afflicted with Dropsy--she
was swollen from her waist to the end Of her
toes, apparently, as much as tho skin would adj
nit of had regular Physicians to attend her,
but they failed to arrest the progress of disease,
or to give her any relief and recommended
tapping, as The only remedy left with which
they could give, even temporary relief About
the LIST of Sept, my attention was called TO DIR.
Jesse Green's Advertisement on the cure of
Dropsy, in the Marietta journal" / hastened
to carry my wife to him. Iarriyed at his house
on the 9th day of September-she had not at
tempted to lie down for several weeks previous
to going to DR.. Green's-could not raise her self
up out of a chair without assistance-cOu!d
scarcely lalk from pressure on the lungs and
weighed nearly two hundred pounds. DIR.
Green, by the use of internal medicine, reduced
her he first day FIVE inches arouad the body and
relieved her lungs so she could breathe free
the 9Th day she could lie down and rest, the
first time she had lay down in weeks. In
II days she had reduced her weight SIS pounds
and at the end Of % days, she had reduced her
76 pounds. There is no swelling about her
now, but to the contrary she is very lean She
needs nothing but flesh to restore her to her
former good health and that she is ganing,every
day. l believe, that DR.. Green's treatment will
cure any case Of Dropsy, if taken in time. His
medicine appears to be entirely harmless but
removes all symptoms of Dropsy like charm.
The above facts concerning the condition of my
wife aud her speedy cure by DR.. Green. are
well known TO many 6four friends At this place
and they win give any information desired
when called on for the same.
