Ex-Mayor Huff, of Macon, Ga., is
responsible for the following which
he refuses to retract, and says he is
responsible for it to Gen. Gordon, if
he so demauds. It is bitter and very
personal:
. "Gordon, having robbed Georgia
of all that he could, has now orga
nized a company for the purpose of
foraging upon Alabama and robbing
tbe people of that State. The people
of Alabama will get euchered out of
their property and will never get the
road should Gordon fail to get the
titles. It would not be a surprise if
he should issue bonds without them.
A man that will issue an insurance
policy after the company is insolvent,
will issue bonds without any secu
rity." Hugh H. Gordon, the Generate
son, will publish a very severe card
in which Huff will be denounoed. A
fight ot some kind is expected by the
Georgians.
The Philadelphia Press, an able
Republican organ, is well pleased
with Mr. Ben Hill's talk about "a
Federal Nation," aud inquires, sar
castically, "how is that for State
sovereignty ?" It says further upon
the Hill text :
"What, then, becomes of the
Democratic howl against Republi
canism in tbe face of these declara
tions by Southern representative
men ? The party was right then and
it is right now in its leading princi
ples and its plans for making the
South peaceful and prosperous. It
never had any other aim or purpose
than to make this a great and glori
ous nation, and the people have felt
that was true of the party, no mat
ter how much individual leaders
might now and then deserve repro
bation." The Northern Stalwart organs are
praising Mr. Emory Speers for his
"independent" course. They like for
a Democrat to bolt and vote with
them. They call that "highly honor
able" and as "showing a manly inde
pendence." If one of their tribe
dares to think for himself he is pelted
with all sorts of foul epithets aud
kicked out into the cold. They call
that the "essence of meanness" and
the "foullest traitorism." It does
make a difference whose ox is gored.

found what miners call a pocket, 26 feet in

HONORED AND BLEST. When a board of
eminent phyaidans and chemists announced the
discovery that by combining some well known val
uaDie remedies, the most powerful medicine was
produced, which would cure such a wide range of
diseases that most ail other remedies could be dis
pensed with, maay were skeptical; but proof of its
merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and
to-day the discoverers of that great medicine, Hop
Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as benefac
iors. .Democrat.
A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
ana cries oi a unermg enua, ana Becoming con
vinced that urs. wmalow'a Soothing Syrup was
Just the article heeded, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife
with what he had done, she refused to have it ad
ministered to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in
suffering, and the parents without sleep. Return-
ins; home the day f oUowing. the father found the
baby still worse; and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room
to attend to some domestic dadee, and left tbe fa
ther with the child. During her absence he admin
istered a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the ba
by, and said nothing. That night alljnands slept

bright and happy. The mother was deliefcted wi
mg
ith
the sadden and wonderful change, and although at
first offended at the deception practiced upon her,
has continued to use the Syrup, and suffering cry
ing babies and sleepless nights have disappeared.
A single trial of the Syrup never vet failed to re
lieve the baby and overcome the prejudices of the
mother. Bold by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle.
