GRIFFIN CAB.

MAY "A, 1875. EDITOR DEMOCRAT: As Uncle Bill, Fifty-Six, and great many others are writing for the DEMOCRAT, I thought I would pen down few lines from Old Griffin that the public may know how we Grifiinites are getting on.
 We are hard working people down in Old Griffin, and have d splendid pros- pect for good crop of everything, (ex- sept wheat which will be rather light owing to the dry weather in early spring.)
 We have had very pretty weather for farm work the past week, and most farmers have their crops ih good fix. Wonder why the bushes are go high in James F.'s new-gronhd corn; and people think Mir. l.. $ land is lying out. Wonder why the girls think George k. s horse has the consumption Bet ter get bottle of lung balm for him. Georgie.
 Guess the driver of that wagon had sooner been at the saw-mill piling lumA Der than where he was; but never mind that cooney; go again.
 ALWAYS LIVELY.

Don't enamor don't entice young men until you can claim your health, as you are now un- fit for wife. Send at once for bot tie of English Female Bitters, it will restore you to perfect health.

COVE CHOPS.

ED. DEMOCRAT: Seeing in your last issue a few dots from Pisgah, thought would give you few scraps from the Cove.
 We have flourishing Sunday school at Cove church, conducted by Mir. Boggers.
 Mir. and Mrs. James Potts paid our school a visit last Sabbath, accompanied by their son, well, I'll say little Jim. Come again, friends,
 Splendid time to clean crops now. I don't know if it wouldn't take four Hazards to last l2 hours in the field.
 Wheat will not make more than half a crop.
 Corn and cotton looks fine.
 We learn recently, though it occur red some time since, that there has been a reunion in the Cotton business. That Is, Lossen Cotton and wife have gone back together; perhaps this will cause a slight rise in the cotton market. Well, Lossen, my advice Is this. the next time you sue for divorce, sue for n couple if you can get 'em any cheap CT. Your UNCLE FuLLEH.

LIBERTY JOTTINGS,
MAY 24, 1879.

MAY 24, loIJ. Oats are looking fine.
 Weather warm and crops growing finely.
 The wheat crop is going to be tolera- ble good if the rust does not injure it too badly.
 The article in the last issue of the DEMOCRAT relating to mortgages suits my eye exactly, as l think there are too many men trying to live ahead of their means by buying too much fine cloth ing to wear to church to make big show. They think their wives and children must dress as we'll as their neighbor who has thousand or fifteen hundred dollars on interest (may the Lord forgive them the error of their ways); but l tell you this must be stopped if we ever have any better times, and more must raise their own meat and bread, instead of mortgaging their entire crops and everything they have to buy it from the merchant. can say with the poetess, "There's no comfort, l tell you, in walking the street
 In fine clothes, if you know you're
 in debt,
 And feel that perchance you some
 tradesman may meet,
 Who will sheer, They're not paid for
 yet"

MT. Henry Ward Beecher Is so much pleased with the cordial and fatteringsreception given him in the southern cities which he visited and lectured in, that he has determined to make an extended lecture tour through the entire south, next win ter, and devote the proceeds of his lectures to various charitable and benevolent objects in the south. All this goes to show how much of the rancor of sectional prejudlces would disappear if the people of both sections would more freely lntermin- gle with each other and seek to culti- vate and encourage feelings and sen timents of neighborly and brother ly affectlon.-Gazette.

AN ADIEU.

Tn taking leave dear friends, of the birthplace of my existence, the more effcminate qualities of my nature pro- duce that emotion, which characterizes the separation from long and contin- ued succession of happy enjoyments, l peaceful surroundings and the unin- tefrupted flow of past scenes, that re- main panorama only to the memory, retouched by the imagination, and drawn before the minds eye" upon the stage of imaginary inventiveness. In bidding farewell to the cherished objects of my affections, my partici- pants in social pleasures and the fading scenes which are soon to be the dreams of an interesting childhood, tits to you, esteemed friends, that I address these few though simple lines. And were 1 able to color my regrets with language expressive of emotion and esteem, I would cause you to honor in greater degree q regard that otherwise rises into existence, but which time and un- erring misfortune sinks into rapid, though sweet and peaceful forgetful- ness. But it is Time that has moulded the allotment of our unity, and neces- sity on the current of time that hastens the separation of love's embrace. And while l draw off on the mighty ocean of which Time is the substance and Eternity the haven, may fortune so favor, that reunion shall ensue, and cause as it were, the old harp strings to sound, the mellow tones ot which shall once more lend entertainment to our ex- istence, and tighten the dim vista with the bloom of youth. It is to you then, kind friends, who from early childhood have been borne along with me on the tide of time, that I address these lines as token of esteem; to you, for which months and years of unalloyed happi- ness stand as prototype, in the dawn of other eras. to mark the existence: to you, who alike have borne and are bearing the brunt of the battle in the religious fight, and who long to see her banners unfurled over the battlements of vanquished nations, when one con- tinuous ring of church bells shall cir cumscribe the globe, and peal after peal echo back to heaven the comple- tion of the victorious cause of living God; to you, the esteemed friends who organized, promulgated, matured and lastly were FORGED to commit to obliy- ion, the last. the longing hope of the ''Ten Virgins;" and to you that have soothed the pillow of misfortune, that have imprinted your names on the tab lets of human memory, and sounded the chords of the soul, alike to one and all, l say farewell. May you all fare well. And though it will be months and perhaps years before we meet again, may we, ere we have fallen into the yellow leaf of years, be permitted once more to realize the "reminiscences of the past though we observe most bit terly, that "the old home ain't what it used to be-" And though we may never meet again, may concord and happiness, peace and prosperity stand in the foregrounds of futurity, till mor- tality shall have surmounted all, and swallowed up life on probation in life eternal.

A POISONED ATMOSPHERE.

Heat moisture and vegetable matter are necessary in the production of that subtle poison known as malaria. It seizes the constitution of the exposed {, produces peculiar effect upon the nervous system, poisons the blood, paralyzes the stomach, locks up the liver and bowels, and produces that condition known as chills and fever, which assumes q periodical form re- turning at stated periods. There is but one remedy known that will remedy all these conditions at the same time and without producing any unpleasant effects, and that article is known as Days Ague Tonic, which never fails to make prompt and permanent cures without the use ot any other drug.
