Or. Guysotts Yellow Dock and SarsapariIia.
The long cold winter freezes
up the smaller streams, and
filth accumulates around every
home. The welcome spring
freshet opens up the clogged
brooklets and washes away the
debris, leaving all the hills and
valleys and brooks and streams
clean, sweet, and clear.
In like manner, the human
organization needs renovating
and cleaning as spring time APP
proaches. Greasy foods, want
of exercise, over-eating, poor
digestion, ETC., has clogged the
machinery of life. The pores
need to be opened, the passages
cleaned, the functions of the
body strengthened, ETC., in or
der that good health may be
maintained. To this end no
remedy is so good and effective
as Da. GUysoTT's YELLOW

At Macon. Monday afternoon, negro
named Bob Thomas, and another whose
name could not be learned, were riding
double on a mule up Plum street, near
the old Rock Mill. In a contest for slow.
ness, the speed Of the animal could never
be beaten. His appearance suggested
that he was out OF the teens and far gone
in the twenties.
The negroes seemed 10 be in a hurry,
and they urged the animal on with many
"A kick and blow and expletive, but the
mule refused TO increase his speed, and
finally came 10 halt and declined TO
move another inch.
Thomas told the other negro TO Jump
down and get a stick. The order was
obeyed and a shower of blows were rained
upon the mule by the negro, who stood
upon the ground at a safe distance from
the animals heels.
Tine mule stood stock still.
"pll make him move" said Thomas,
almost turning white with anger. 'Pll
make de critter move way from here, an
don't you forget it,"
lie took his knife from his pocket,
opened the small blade and, leaning for
ward, stuck the sharp point into the
mules right ear. The mule moved; oh,
yes, he moved.
He doubled himself up as only a mule
can. pitched Thomas over his head a dis
lance Of ten feet, landing him in the soft,
black mud, and then dashed up the street
as II he thought Gen. Sherman and his
army were behind him.
Thomas picked himself up and Joined
the other negro, remarking as he did so:
"Dat les like mule"

Lucky Miss Lula.

Lula Hurst at home Is still attracting
attention, and the boys OF North Georgia
are all anxious to find out how much cash
the electric and muscular maiden sailed
down on her tour of the world. The But
LetlB boy of Rome saw papa and mamma
Hurst trotting into town the other day
and fastening on to their buggy inquired
about Miss Lula.
sob, she is well, thank YOU" said Mrs.
Hurst; ''and just as happy as she can be
to get back home again. We were afraid
she would be restless and not content TO
settle down at our country home, after
travelling so much. But she appears
more fond OF home than ever"
lis there any truth in the rumor that
she has lost her power%
eve are not aware Of the fact" replied
Mr.. Fl. 1.-THE last time she gave an exhi-
bition, which was to crowded house i'm
Knoxville, the exhibition was entirely
satisfactory. We never test 1t at home,
because do not intend for Lula to travel
any MORE"
Chow much have you made on Miss
Lula's exhibitions, Mr.. Hurst?"
There was jolly twinkle in the old
gentleman's frank blue eyes when he an
swered:
''Thats what all the boys want to know.
1 am satisfied with the result of the exhi-
billions, for Lula certainly lifted that
mortgage off of our home while she was
lifting around editors, Senators, Gov
ernors, and Congressman. We are all at
home now to remain. | want you to come
out and spend couple of days with us.'
This invitation was heartily, seconded
by Mrs. Hurst, and the reporter promised
20 accept at his first convenience.
1t Is thought that, after paying off the
mortgage on her fathers farm, Miss Lula
had snug little bonus of about $4,000 on
which to retire from the stage.

Reanfort Items.

BEAUFORT, Sept. 26.-Fall is upon us
in earnest, and our merchants are pre-
pairing for busy fall trade.
Your correspondent came near having
first-class item in the shape Of an at
tempt at suicide here this week, but the
would-be self-murderer thought better of
the matter and concluded not to do it this
time, and so spoiled the item.
Two weddings are on the tapis for next
month.
Our sportsmen's hearts are rejoicing
over the near approach of Oct. /, the
limit of the game law.
AS maritime town Beaufort can boast
of craft of every shape and size. The
latest sensation here is little row boat
rugged up with an engine and pine,
worked by kerosene, which steams around
"in and out, and winds about" making as
much noise in the world as if she were
ten times as big as she is. Mr.. ID. G. VIII
son is her owner.
We feel quite unhappy over the wall
given by the NelCS and COuriey'S CORE
spondent over the alleged swallowing
of Port Royal by Savannah. We shake in
our shoes lest Savannah should have de-
signs on us, too. BE merciful, Savannah,
and leave little of us, we don't do much
harm in the world
Port ROYAL has, in truth, however, been
between two fires. Not onlyfdid Savan-
nah regard her with an evil eye, but
Charleston also, her elder sister, would
have rejoiced at her downfall. But there's
life in the old land yet. Some day South
Carolina may take the matter in her own
hands and build that long projected road
from Columbia down to these parts, and
leave the Port Royal and Augusta roads
high and dry. Then we shall see what
we shall see.
But to return to the presents Savannah is
about to draw into the vortex Of her whirl-
pool two of Beautort's citizens whom we
are unwilling to spare. They are Capt. W.
NJ. Seward, already well known In Savan-
nan, and Mr.. J. NJ. Lang, of Scotland, who
for the past two years has been connected
with Hume Bros. ~ Co. They hang out
their shingle at no Bay street, Savannah,
Monday, as insurance agents, brokers,
and phosphate dealers, etc. While de-
ploring our own loss, we trust 1t may
prove not only Savannah's but their own
gain also. LOCKER ON.

Senator FaIIigant For Governor
From "a 4 mallstn Meaps


State Senator Robert Falligant, OF the
First district, is in town. His handsome
face is always radiant vision. He seems
10 carry an abundant amount of sunshine
about HIM, and if the days Of mythology
should return, we would set him up any
day as the rival of Phebus Apollo.
Everybody does not know that
the Captain is poet as well as a states
man, but il is a fact. When he wore the
gray and sat about the camp fires he was
the darling ofhis company and the poet Of
his mess. Several stirring and meritOrious
sOnnets were composed by him in the days
that tried mems souls, and when his boy
ish heart beat strong for the Southern
cause. The Southern BiUoadc for October
publishes one of his war sonnets, but the
jolly Captain, speaking OF 1t to-day,
laughed, and said that it was one of his
worst. If the others are as good we should
like to see them.
Very many people who think that South
Georgia should have the next Governor,
are In favor of putting up Capt. Falligant
as the tittest candidate for the State White
House. If South Georgia should win the
honor, we don't know a man who would
do more honor TO the place.

We are impressed with the danger of
the exaggeration OF the numerous land
companies in Florida. We have before
US n three-columu advertisement, cover
ing the whole length OF a New York daily,
which circulates mainly among the small
shop-keepers, theatre-gOeTs, etc. The adj
vertisement offers lot 10 by 100 feet,
which is less than One-tenth OF au acre,
for S.; corner lots at $40. 1t is described
as high pine land, and that every lot has
a shade tree thereOn-either pine, oak,
ally recommend the investment to ladies',
with much of the same land.
liz may be assumed from the map that il
is ordinary pine land, entirely In the
woods, and at a considerable distance
from any existing railway facilities,
and, although called city, only 30 on
paper. To be sure, So is not much of an
investment, but what is u lot 40 by 100
feet worth for any practical purpose 70
the purchaser, who may be induced to in
vest little savings fund in such a pur-
chaser OF course, the purchaser cannot
reside or settle upon such spot, and no
benefit is derived to any one except the
projectors, who, at this rate, would sell
pine land in the woods, unimproved and
unmarketable, at the rate of $50 per acre,
not worth, probably, over $40, if that.
We want settlers and immigration, but
these schemes of planting cities, so.
called, all over our pine woods is calcu-
lated really to do us more harm than
good. There are lands in Florida for the
hOmesteading; others at moderate p ices
from the State, and from the railroad
companies. 1t will be a very long time
before lots 40 by 100 feet, in out of the way
places, at little railway stations, ETC.,
will have anything but mere speculative
value. The $5-lOt purchaser will be
called on to pay taxes; he will forget the
time of payment; tax sales will be made,
and most of such lots will go back into the
hands Of the company.
These schemes all seem TO us purely
speculative, and not beneficial to the
State. We do not believe in humbugs.

Something Profitable Expected.


Last Tuesday night the news of the fail
ure of Z. d. Adams in Fort Gaines,
rushed through our town like wild fire.
The report that an attachment would be
served during the night having leaked
out, the idea that something profitable
was going TO happen seemed to prevail,
and hundreds OF people gathered to get
their share. So in the early part OF the
night buggies began to move from the
factory, which was discovered and
checked; but while this was having
watch held over it, the back doors of the
furniture establishment were thrown
open and hundred or more people gath
cred and began to take out and get off as
fast as possible and place beyond
the bounds of rescue. IL seemed to
be q grab game until Messrs. In2ra-
ham and Allen appeared on the
scene and reminded them that the Ex-
change bank held a mortgage on the prop
erty and warned them OF their danger.
Some of the furniture, too heavy for easy
carriage, was caught and put back i'm the
house. Some OF the buggies were, also,
Overtaken and attached. The amount Of
goods removed ana concealed, being part
ly of silyerware and other valuable goods,
was large. We have heard of failures.
many in our time, but this OutriVals any
thing of which we have heard. AS TO the
affair and its consequenS bearing ON our
town, speculation is rife. II is a thing
much deplOred by the good citizens.
Everything is under attachment this
morning, Mr.. Adams was away at the
time and has not yet arrived. AS to
further results we shall see.

A Big Fnx HINT.

From, the WaVaesBoro True Citizen.
On Thursday night, by the soft light Of
pale Luna, squad of some eight gal
liant young men of the CITY, mounted ard
spurred, and armed with hOrnR and
hounds, left for the woods on a large fox
hunt. They had not proceeded far be-
yond the city limits before they crossed
the trail of a luckless fox, and in q
few minutes Reynard WAS on the full
run with a roaring pack at his
heels. For five hours the pack was in full
roll without break in the music, with
the gallant young knights riding furious
" after, through break and brush, and
over fence and ditch, when Reynard sur
rendered at discretion. The race was a
most exciting one, and when it was
done reaction came, and eyes which but
few moments before had sparkled with
excitement lost their fire, and eyelids ire
sistably dropped over them.

warrant for his arrest, aud returned to
the office with deputy marshal. The

These people are from the North, and,
while whisky seems to be It the bottom Of
most matrimonial infelicities, the trouble
here is temper, which flashes from the
husbands eyes and transforms his whole
appearance into a fiery hend loosed fro 3,

stance within our observation where the
husband has accorded a second party the
privilege of castigating the offending

Printing on Wall paper.

We were shown Saturday by Mr..
Charlie Morris a reproduction Of the
Vicksburg DAILY Citizen. printed on wall
paper, July ., 1868, before the surrender
of that city to u. s. Grant. }. NJ. swords
was the proprietor OF the Citizen at that
time. The reading matter is very good
and very interesting TO those who were
besieged in that city. The editor says:
ave are indebted to Maj. Gillespie for a
steak of Confederate beef, alias mule.
We have tried 1t, ana can assure our
friends that, if 1t is rendered necessary,
they need have no scruples at eating The
meat. IL is sweet, sayOry and tender,
and so long as we have mule lett, we
are satisfied our soldiers will be content
TO subsist on It," IL seems from this that
mule meat was about the only kind Issued
