Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants of a locality hitherto unyisited by the pesti- lent scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in their very midst, is decidedly startling. Such discoveries are made at every season, in every part of the Union. Subsequently, when it is ascertained, as it invariably is at such times, through the valuable experience of some one who has been benefited and cured, that Hos- tettei's Stomach Bitters is thoroughly eficacious eradicator of the malarial poison. and a means of fortifying the system against it, a feeling of more se curity and tranquility reigns throughout the whole neighborhood. Besides the febrile forms of malariai disease, dumb ague and ague cake are removed by the potent action of the Bitters, to which science also gives its sanction as rem edy for rheumatism, dyspepsia, consti- patton, liver complaint, debility, kidney tLoubleSs and all diseases impairing the organs of digestion and assimilation. |

Inherited Disesses.

No fact of nature is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact Of ths inheritance of disease.
 Modern science, El,ick has illuminated so many dark corsers of nature, has shed anew light on the cIninous words of tho Scriptures, "The sins of The fathers, shall te visited upon the children unto the third and fourth Sener; ton" Fifty per cent. of cases of consumption, cancer and scrofGla, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hered- itary in marked degree, but, fcrtu- Eately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A stin- guished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body is exempt from tue chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably mora chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure snd functions of the body, are moro or less liable 10 be in- hcrited. The important and farreachin2 practical deductions from suUh fucts- arc obvious to refectiHg minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these diseases IS 8 subject of intense in- terast to all Fortunately nature has provided a remedy, which experience has attested Rs infall;ble, and the reme- dy is the world-fanous Swifs's Specific, pure vegetable comround-nature's antidote for all blood poisons. To the afflicted it iS a blessing of inestimable value. An interesting treatise on ''Blood and Skin Diseases" will Le c1ailed free by addressing

Of their winning.

Then the score stood to in Allan ia S
favor. In the next two innings Savannah
failed to score, while Atlanta got in one
run. In the eighth inning, though, the

seven runs, giving them lead which in the
remaining two innings the visitors were I'M
able to pull up TO-

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
The Savannah Branch Organized and
OfficerS Elected

A meeting of the congregations of the
various evangelical churches in the city
was held at the Baptist church last night
for the purpose of organizing a branch of
the Evangelical Alliance. Rev. DR.. Bow
man presided The meeting opened with
devotional exercises by Rev. DR.. Arson,
after which the chairman set forth in a
| short address the object of the meeting.
He said that the alliance association had
for its object the furtherance of religious
| opinion, with the intent TO manifest and
strengthen Christian unity, and to promote
religious liberty and cooperation in Chris
tan work without interfering with the
internal affairs of the different denomina-
tions. He added that the national
alliance at New York recommended
that the clergyman and leading active lay
men of the several churches of community
come together and organize branch al
llances, and in this way gain Il reliable
knowledge of the spiritual and moral needs
of the people of their locality.
The members will be expected to devote
most of their time and labor among the
non-church goers of the city and stir them
up to a sense of their duty to God and them
selves. Such work, DR.. Bowman said, will
quicken the religious life of community
and raise the spiritual temperature of the
churches. After he had concluded his re-
marks the following gentlemen, Rev. Mr..
McGehee, NJ. James Earle, Jr., Mr.. L. B.
Davis, Mr. Z. F. Cunningham and Rev. J.
w. Rogan, spoke few minutes on the same
subject.
The Alliance was fully organized and the
following officers were elected:
President, James Earle, Jr., Of the Bap-
fist church.
Vice-President, R. B. Reppard, of Wesley
Monumental church.
Secretary E. F. Cunningham, of the In
dependent Presbyterian church.
Treasurer, john Houston, of Trinity
Methodist church.
After the election of officers the benedic-
ton was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Bowman
