At Rocky Valley, in an adjoining
county, there was buried last week a
prominent man who might be yet an
ornament to society, had he not neg
lected the advice of his friends TO such
an extent that he can be said to have
died by his own wish. Mr.. Jones had
at first a slight cold, neglected, it be-
come serious. His friends advised the
great Cough Remedy Symphyx. lie
refused every appeal by his friends.
As a natural result he grew wor and
died. We that are suffering with
coughs and colds beware that you do
not lay yourself liable to the same
charge and fill premature grave, but
take SymphyX at once and live.

1t will perhaps be gratifying to the
people of Cleveland and especially to
those who have charged reckless cx-
travigance aud mismanagement on part
of the late administrations of Il mu-
nicipal affairs to know that on tho 1st
day of January next, 1t will require n
search warrant to find n corpo ration
voucher and the entire Indebtedness of
the same fully paid, and that two with
a tax no higher than was levied Mt the
time, the debt was made some six years
ago, and has been estimated by some
at from 81 900 to $4,000. This being SO
the late boards will have pleasure IN
knowing that our people will apprccl-
ate their services and the more so as
they have kept up the necessary re-
pairs and done all necessary work In
the cooperate limits.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITION.


During the coming year-a year that will
witness the progress and elimination of the
most interesting political contest that has
ever taken place in this country--cvery citi-
zen and every thoughtful person will be COM
PEELED TO rely upon the newspapers for infor-
nation. Why not get the best? Abroad the
CONSTITUTION is rccognized, referred to and
quoted trom as the leUding southern journal
AS the organ and vehicle eff the best south
ern thought and Opinion-and at home its
c~Olurans are consulted for the latest news,
the freshest comment, and all matters OF
special and current interest. The OoNsTITU-
rIoN contains more and later Geographic
news than any other Georgia paper, and this
particular feature will be largely added to
during the coming year. All its facilities
for gathering the latest news from all parts
ofthe country will be enlarged and snpple-
mented. The CONSTITUTION is both chroni-
cler and commentator. Its editorial Opin-
ions, its contributions to the drift o current
discussion, its humorous and sa irical para
graphs, are copied from one end of the coun-
try to the other, ltaims always TO be the
brightest and ~b,st-mcwsy, original aud piq-
uant. 1t aims particularly to give the news
impartially and fnlly, and to keep t srcadeIs
informed of the drift Of current discussion by
liberal but concise quotations from all its
contemporaries. II uims, in short, to more
than ever deserve TO lie known as 'the lead
ing southern newspaper" Bill Arp will con-
tinue to contribute his unique letters, which
grow in savory humor week by week. "Qld
81" will add his quaint fun to the collection
ofgood things, and Uncle Remus" has in
preparation u series of negro myth legends,
illustrating the folklore oftho old planta-
ton. In every respect The CONSTITUTION for
1880 will be better than ever. 2
The WEEKLY CONSTITUTION is q carefully
edited compendium Of the news of the week
ofthe week and contains the best and fresh
est matter to be found in any other weekly
from a daily Office. 1t news and misccllano-
Gus contents are the freshest and its market
