A telegram to the Brnin

From the stomach is the great sympa-
thetic nerve in the epigasuium. Let di-
gestion become seriously disordered, and
that disorder is sure to find a reflection in
symptoms which react disadvantageously
upon the organ Of thought. Insomnia,
anxiety, are all manifestations of dys-
pepia. The best means of remdying and
restoring tranquility to brain and stom-
ach, and of regulating, it may be added,
bilious secretion, is TO take a wineglassful
of Hostteter's Stomach Bitters before
meals during the day and before retiring.
This course begun, reform in the direct
ion of complete bodily well-being has be-
gun with it. Constipation, SIGH headache
neuralgia, rheumatism, and malarial
complaints are among the troubles in
which the Bitters is speedily and thor
oughly beneficial. Don't delay, but take
the sure course at once. 12-9-6t

To DO Away with cold Maids"

Gen Booth, the commander-in-chief OF
the English Salvation army, is an earnest
social reformer One of the practica,
methods of a redistribution of social forces
in his opinion, is grand matrimonial
agency, conducted by fit persons, through
whose intervention thousands of homeless
men all over the world might become
known to the thousands of spinsters who
would make the best of wives but who are
wasting their higher possibilities for want
of a chance to utilize them. Gen. Booth
expects to be laughed at, but is sure that
his beneficent plan is feasible s.nd certain
of accomplishments Bazaar.

WoolNG BY FLOWERS.

Once on a time, TO WOO a maid
Three suitors sought her bower.
"Give me, pray" the maiden said
To each, thy favorite flower"
The lord he took a lily fair
That grew in regal pride;
This flower put in thy raven hair;
Twill suit mobiles bride"
The knight he plucked a rose and cried,
This flower place on thy breast"
The bard violet gave and sighed,
"Ahl near thee let il rest"
"Come back again at autumn tide
And meet me in my bower,
And We shall learn" the maid replied,
How fares it with each flower"
At autumn tide they stood once more
Beside the maiden bright;
Then from a vase the flowers she bore
And placed them in their sight
The lily leaves were dull and strained,
The shriveled rose was dead,
The odorous violet fresh remained
The bard" she cried, 'I'll we'd"

Arrival OF Patron historian I'm
migration Society Probable.
TOWNSVILLE, Dec. 22.-J. Wymar
Jones Of EnglewoOd, n. j., arrived yester.
day, with his family, in private car Mr..
Jones is one of the most prominent winter
visitors and friends of Thomasville. He
owns largo real estate interests around
the city. His lovely home. two miles
out in the country on the Talla-
bes1ee road has been greatly improved.
Mr.. Jones, also owns Glen Arven park which
is maintained at his private.expense for the
benefit of the public. He has now in this
park a smaller deer park in which is kept
a large herd Of red and white deer.
While in England this summer, he
bought and shipped to Townsville two
dozen English pheasants, also to he put in
Glen Arven. Mr.. Jones IL an enthusiastic
friend of Thomasville, and its people appre-
ciate his many good services.
AN IMMIGRATION SOCIETY.
Capt. John Triplett and Z. NJ Mallette,
delegates to the interstate immigra ion con-
vention, have returned from Asheville, N.
C.. 1t is likely that Thomas county i'm
migration society will be formed as
result, to influence immigration
especially to this section. 1t was
plain TO those who attended the convention
that successful work could be accom- Iished
most by county organizations. There is no
reason why the people of Thomas county
should not raise and expend s., 500 to $1,000
year for this purpose. Ir would pay
many fold back to the county.
The winter tourists continue to pour into
Townsville, and everyt lag indicates now
that the city will soon be filed to its utmost
capacity.

The Legislature Asks the President
to Pardon Them.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec, 22.-In the last
throes of dissolution the House and Sem
ate both adopted resolution calling on the
President OF the United States to hberate
all the prisoners confined In the Georgia
jail for violations of the internal revenue
laws. Exactly why such action was taken
it is hard to say. Some opposition cropped
out among the senators. and during the de-
bate which followed Mr.. Gambler, who
championed the resolution, candidly stated
that he expected il to have no effect what
ever. "But," he added, "the jails are full
guilty of no wrong"
LEVEL HEADED FARMER.
Mr.. Lane, who, under that slipshod, back
woods manner of his, hiss given more than
one evidence of the possession of level head
edness, as well as homely humor, very per-
tinently inquired if these persons had not
violated the law.
Mr.. Gambler explained that they had
violated not our laws, but somebody else's
laws.
"Whose lawsp Mr. Lane inquired.
'The federal internal revenue laws" re-
piled he other.
''Well," answered Mr.. Lane, "if the laws
OF the United States amt our laws. I'd like
to know which laws our laws are"
Mr. Gambler retorted that the revenue
laws were certainly not his. The senator
might claim kinship with them il he liked.

STATE ROAD ARBITERS.
CAPT. MERCER AND j. L. WARREN
OF THIS CITY ON THE BOARD.

Its Other Members are j. c. c. Black of
Augusta, N. j. Hammond Of Atlanta,
G. Gunby Jordan of Columbus, w.
B. Hill and D. G. Hughes of Macon,
and C. D. McCutchen of Dalton-The
Final Conference.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 22.-The commission
of eight, to which is to be referred the
claims of the state road lessees. was to-
day appointed and confirmed as follows: J.
C. C. Black of Augusta. n. J. Hammond of
Atlanta, G. Gunby Jordan of Colu nbus,
George A Mercer and j. L. Warren Of Sa-
vannah, w. B. Hill and D. G. Hughes
of Macon, and c. d. McCutchen Of Dalton.
All these were present this morning ex-
cept Messrs. Hail and McCutcheu. They
are expected tomorrow, when the board
viii lie formally organized. The iuvestiga-
ton will hardly get we'll under way before
the middle of January. Presumably it will
occupy from thirty to sixty days. At 8
o'clock the governor and Clifford Anderson,
acting as attorney general, received Presi-
dent Brown and ex-Vice President Stahl-
man in the executive Office. There a for
mai agreement in writing was entered in o
by the representatives of the leSsees to abide
the settlement to be made under the act
creating tie commission and abandoning
all ana every other proceeding whatsoever
to enforce their claims.
TURNING OVER THE ROAD.
1t was also virtually agreed that the
lessees should not wait till midnight next
Saturday, when the lease expires, but
should turn over the road in the afternoon.
President Thomas will be here tomorrow
to sign an agreement to take charge of the
line for the new lease company as soon as
the old lessees resign control. The confer
ence in the executive Office lasted about an
hour. The governor then notified the leg
1slature that he had signed the claims act
and soon after sent in the names of the
commissioners for confirmation. His selec-
tions having been approved the board at
once convened, but the meeting was merely
preliminary ard no business was attempted.
The general impression is that the commits
sion is as strong a one as could well have
been named.
VALUATION OF THE ROAD.
Hon. Eben Hillyer of the recent board of
state road appraisers, has written to the
governor in regard to the remarkable
discrepancy between the figures furnished
in tho late inventory and those shown by
the report of the Rees commission. He says
the total value of the property was found
to be Sc, 063 1S9 by that commission, instead
of ST, 664. 1879 as printed in the report. A
