THE ADVERTISER. g n ;Teras, 93,00 per Annum. Sale-Day Jottings--And Other Sorts. Sale-day was like a light and airy bridge spanning a fearful abyss. We mean as regards the weather. It was as bright, balmyband sunshiny a day as one could well wish to see. While the Sun day before it-in fact the whole month was implacably fierce, cold and leaden. And, to the utter surprise and horror,of everybody, to-day (Tuesday) is again ab solutely fearful-cold, dark, and the rain pouring down in such torrents as we have seldom beheld-with thunder and lightning that would befit August What is to become of us ? Some of us were going to hie away to the happy land of | Augusta this afternoon, to attend the grand masquerade ball and the splendid Theodore Thomas concert, but as matters now stand it would be worth one's life to attempt to get three miles from town either by land or by water. We are in a peck of trouble in cons?quence, for we have been panting for this Concert "as the hart for the water-brooks." But back to sale-day! The warm sun and blue sky brought out a large crowd of our fellow-citizens from the country. Everybody Telt thawed, friendly and ge nial. Itwasa lively day. The sunshine set people ter chatting about planting-about cotton, corn, guano, and all that. Evi dently the design on all sides is to plant very largely of cotton. Look sharp, friends, or the present price of the staple will delude you into folly. Tho Sheriff sold some well-timbered land in the neighborhood of G rani te ville for a mero song. For instance, a tr?fet of j 205 acres, for $465 ; another of 104 acres, for $65; and still another at even lower figures: And then* Capt. B. M. Talbert sold notes belonging to some estate, toe purchasers buying fortunes for only a few cents. But this was not tho only speculation of the day. There was the great IMPARTIAL INDICATOR OR WHIRLIGIG MAN. His name is Dr. Powell, one of the origi nal jjpS F. follows, and he is a right pleasant Bohemian-one who pays his printing bills, and puts his modus oper andi fairly and squarely before tho eyes of the public. His speciality is Soap.' In the centre of a circular table is fixed a steel "Indicator" turning upon a pivot. A round the margin of the table, thick and carefully numbered, lie the prizes. They range from a half dime, through rings, and spoons and knives, and trinkets and silver cups, up to gold watches. The Soap lies in neat cakes here, there, and all around. The Soap works stupendous miracles both upon the outer and inner man. Ton buy a cake of Soap, for which you "nay always fl, and this entitles yon to- a cum of the " Indicator," and the possession of the prize to which it points when it ceases to turn. You must ran something. Sometimes you win a gold watch, but oftener you get back only 10 or 25 ct*, upon your dollar. Neverthe less, your chance is as fair as any man's. " You pays your money and you takes your choice." And then the Doctor is witty and sonorous His tongue wags tumultuously all the time, and screams of laughter reward his sallies. On Mon day last he did a good business in Edge field. Our colored friends venerate him. They follow him fanatically, and their eyes pop out of their heads by dozens when the "Indicator" stops at an impor tant prize. And after dinner, when gen ero os wine had made many of us feel loose and fellowish, we white people also took to following after Soap. Wno shall ever forget the deafening shrieks when our friend, Jerry Gardner, won the gold watch ? We will not say that Dr. Pow ell is a just mart made perfect,-although we take him to be a clever gentleman but if people "will be improvident with their money it is certainly not his look out V?vela bagatelle/ And more exhilarating even (to us) than Dr, Powell's lottery scheme, was the honor done on this day to the Adver tiser. Just imagine our getting, besides a number of individual subscriptions, two clubs of subscribers, each number ing twenty members ! We have every right t?'?eel proud-and to be a little talky. And apropos of this club plan, it is an admirable one-lucrative to us, and cheaper for&ubecribers. A langhablg: incident of the day was the arrival of Chancellor Carroll and Judge John E. Bacon on the public square seated-?n a rlank across an open wagon body>-vacb hugging a carpet-bag-the whole :conceni drawn by two mules. Before the war, these two elegant and punctilious 'legal gentlemen scarcely| imagined that they would ever travel in thissprimitive style. And our old friend, Dr. Clint. Tomp kins, grown big and burly with ease, prosperity and good living, was also here, and he told us tbare was to be a big wed ding on Stevens' Creek soon, and that he would certainly have us up to it-a prom ise which we design keeping green in his memory.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis are not the only ones to be dread ed. Canker or dry rot does not blast a tree as suddenly as a stroke of lightning, but unless arrested it destroys it as cer tainly; and in Uko manner chronic de bility, although it does not kill with the swiftness of yellow fevar, is as sure to sap the springs of Ufe eventually as any acute disease, if not checked by invigo rating medication. There is something inexpressibly touching in the spectacle of premature decay. Languor, paUor, ema ciation, depression of spirits, and a.dis taste for exertion, aroit3 ordinary symp toms, and they should be promptly met by tonic treatment. The best invigorant and exhilarant that can bo. administered in a case of this kind is Hosteler's Stom ach Bitters. The stimulating principle of tho preparation rouses tho dormant energies ot the system, and thestrength ening and regulating properties give a permanent and healthful impulse to tho vital forces thus brought into play. The failing appetite is re-awakenea, the pro cess of digestion and assimilation are quickened, the quality of the blood is improved, the secretions become more natural, and every organ that con tributas to the nourishment of the body under goes salutary chango. By these means the repair of the physical structure is ef fected and its health and vigor restored. In no class of diseases has tho beneficent operation of the Bitters been more mark ed and striking than in those character ized by general debility and nervous prostration. Ladies affected with these ailments find ih this most wholesome of all tonics and correctives tho safest and surest means of relief. It is strong to restore and powerless to injnre.
