Notice

All persons having claims against Sanford Alexander, deceased, are requested to present them to the undersigned, properly authenticated, for payment.

Notice to Advertisers. All advertisements inserted in this paper without the time specified how long they are to be inserted, will be mentioned until a written order is received to stop them, and payment exacted accordingly.

Our friends, Msmrs Peter Howard, W. W. Fleming, M. T. Alexander, M. M. Fryer and J. H. Wade, Judges of the Inferior Court of Early county, would do their duty and their constituents a great favor, if they would have the “______ up” bridge on the Fort Gaines road repaired.

The white of an egg has proved of late the most efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eight successive applications of this substance soothes the pain and excludes the burnt parts from the air. This simple remedy seems to be far preferable collodion, or even cotton.

Now is the time to feed and attend well to the pigs which came last fall. At twelve or fourteen months old, you will have to kill them, and make your meat, next winter. By proper care, you can make them weigh from 100 to 200 pounds, at the age mentioned. Don’t let them get poor, stunted and mangy now, for if you do, it will be almost impossible to get them started again. There is no telling how much meat can be raised by proper management, even when corn is scarce. The slops and waste from the kitchen will make many a pound of meat. Every housekeeper, whether he or she has much of this world’s goods, can go far towards raising his or her own meat. If you have no pigs, obtain one or more, a soon as you can, and go to feeding them. You can accomplish wonders with them in twelve months. We do not consider any house well adorned, these days, without a pig.
