Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease.
 Modern science, which has illuminated 50 many dark corners of nature, has shed new light on the eminous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers, unto the third and fourth generation" Fifty per cent. of cases of consumption, cancer and scrofula, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hered. itary In . marked degree, but, fortu- nately, hko many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distin- guished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body is exempt from hereditary disease.S Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of tho body, are more or less liable to be in- herited. The important and far-reachinR practical deductions from such facts are obvious to reflecting minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these diseases is a subject of intense in- terest to all. Fortunately nature has provided . remedy, which experience dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific, antidote for ell blood poisons. To the value.

 Lees Great London R. R shows, which exhibited on the Water street lot last Wednesday afternoon and evening, was one of the best shows we have had here for years. They made an excellent street parade :; everything looks clean, new and bright, and with some very pleasing features, new to the ordinary circus parade. At the ground every body was treated with the utmost politeness, and every attention paid to make it as pleasant for the audience as possible. The circus performance given in one large ring and on an elevated stage, was frst-class in every respect, and far ahead of the usual travelling ng show. We will be glad to welcome the Lee show again at any time Spring field Press.

Mir McNeil's new and spacious residence is fast approaching completion, the grounds being graded etc. Mir Milo Richardson's residence is receiving a new coat of paint, the workmanship of which shows the parties employed to be artists at their trade. A new and quite elaborate fence is being built opposite the grounds of Milo Richardson. MT Wm. H. Barnum is making extensive improvements in both the interior and exterior of his residence. Mir P. s. Burrall is grading and otherwise improving his grounds, preparatory to building, and there are other extensive improvements in con- temptation. Next week, we under stand, the Hon Wm. H. Barnum, wife and daughter, the Hon M. B. Richard son, wife and sister, P. s. Burrall and wife and s. P.

Yesterday 1t was entitled Houston VS..
Redwinen The case has been in the courts
about fifteen years In 1865 the Gate City
Building and Loan Association was char
tered by the Legislature and began business
in Atlanta. Mr.. j. o. Redwine, an honest
hard working farmer, who owned a house
and lot near the city, found it necessary to
raise Immediately $500. He was advised to
make the loan through this association
He got tue money and gave mortgage on
his place for 81, 900. He began paving back
the money in monthly payments of $40
and had nearly paid the $500 when he was
tod that even after he paid all the associa-
ton would hold the mortgage for 1000
However, he continued TO pay until be had
actually paid the association $500. He
refused to be bled any more The aSso-
citation was about to foreclose the mort
gage Redwine engaged Col Mvnatt, who
at once addressed himself to the task of pro
tectiug his clients interests. Tho case went
into court. Redwine lost. 1t was carried
to a higher court Col Hammond was the
associations lawyer The matter was
fought in several courts. Col. Hammond
was elected to Congress Whenever the
case was called Col Mynatt succeeded in
having it continued. Finally Col. Ham

position that the associations charter OK

startled the opposition, who asked the court
TO continue the case SO that the plea could

been in jeopardy for years. Now, according
to his astute lawyer. it is safe.
