The Crops.—This week has devel
oped but little change in the crop pros
pects. The corn is made, and without
too much wet weather to rot it in the
fields, will he a large one. Cotton is
badly damaged by rustsand caterpillar.
Crops which a month ago promised
a full return, will not realize a half
crop. Farmers are pushing the picking
with all the energy they can command.
Charles Maccalester, of Philadelphia,
has presented to the city* of Minneap
olis, Minnesota, a gift of property worth
8100,000 for educational purposes.
From tli© Courier of Saturday.
Cotton.—We give no quotations to
day, for the reason that there is no mar
ket. There is not money enough in
town to buy ten bales of cotton, so we
advise our farming friends to use this
tine weather in picking their cotton and
having it ready for the market, when it
ioes open.
Coming Southwaid.
The money panic has reached Atlan
ta. Tlic Dollar Savings Bank has pasted
the following notice on its counter:
“Owing to an unusually large run
made upon this bank during the past
three days, and the consequent payment
of large sums of currency, we have
been com] idled to suspend payment
for a few days.
“Our assets exceed our liabilities by
nearly seventy thousand dollars. Be
patient and give us time to convert our
assets into cash. Every depositor will
he made entirely safe.”
It will not surprise many if the
whole of Atlanta goes under, as the
odium brought upon her by’ the Bul-
>ck horde of thieves still clings to her.
The Opera House swindle, the Govern
or’s mansion swindle, and the great
Kimball swindle—all belong to Atlan
ta, and the least taint of unsoundness
in her public institutions will be cer
tain to bring a crash upon her.
We heartily* wish it otherwise, hut it
is so nevertheless. But with all this
odium weighing upon her she will
eventually rise purified and redeemed.
Transfer ok Real Estate.—“ Clover
Dale,” on Coosa river, five miles below
Borne, containing 720 acres, was sold a
few day’s since. The place, including
tuck, implements, etc., was sold for
19,000—8S000 cash, and balance in
deferred payments, with interest from
date at seven per cent.
The plantation was divided, Hinton
Lee taking 10 acres at 81000, and the
cmainder by .John G. Barnwell, of
South Carolina, and GeorgeS. Graham,
of this countv.
unusual amount of noise that, day,
greatly to our annoyance. Consequent
ly we were forced to move our seats to
a quieter situation, or be debarred the
pleasure of hearing anything.
Having at last gotten seated, I glanced
over the crowd; and such a mixture of
people! From every walk of life; from
the highest to the very lowest grades of
society, all assembled together in the
pure open air, under the bright canopy
of heaven, with nothing but the trees—
God’s own creation—to shut out the
noon-lay* sun. All moved by the same
impulse, actuated by the same motive,
each heart swelling with praise and
thanksgiving to the great God, creator
of both heaven and earth.
Involuntarily*, as it were, the text
rushed into my mind, “The rich and
the poor meet together, but the Lord is
the maker of them all.”
We listened to two sermons in the
morning, then an intermission of an
hour was given for dinner. Nothing
loth, we repaired to the church building,
which was unoccupied in consequence
of not being large enough to accommo
date the congregation; made an im
promptu table of the benches; spread
a bountiful repast of nice things; and
soon the whole building was a perfect
Babel of confusion, cliattery and laugh
ter.
I think, could one of the good old
Hardshell preachers have stepped in he
would have been shocked at our seem
ingly* impious conduct upon the Sab
bath. But we were all only acting up
to the text, “ whatsoever thy hands
find to do, do it with all thy might,”
regardless of time.
Dinner being over, the young people
coupled off to take an hour’s rest and
to review and discuss (?) the sermons
of the morning before returning to the
•arbor.
We listened to one most excellent
sermon in tiie afternoon, then began
our return home, where we arrived at
sundown, having had a most delightful
time. Thus ended our day of enjoy
ment, and my first visit to a Hardshell
meeting. A Participant.

Negro Bow.—A negro row occurred
last Thursday night in the negro dan
cing house in rear of A. S. Hawkins’
office, on Broad street, in which Tine
Quinn and George Smith exchanged
hots, but without any fatal results.
The disturbance was annoying to the
;ood citizens in tin- neighborhood, and
the dusky gentlemen will he called
upon to preserve a more decent respect
for the peace of their neighbors.
“We fight witli ideas,” said Heine,
“and newspapers are our fortresses.
There is probably* no such force in the
world to-day, as the press. In spread-
freedom and disseminating knowl
edge, in shattering shams and destroy-
nonsense of various kinds; in search-
out all kinds of truth, and then
daring to declare the same, it has been
achieving the capital victories of the last
twenty-five years.”
Hon. David A. Nunn, the newly
elected member of Congress from the
eighth district of Tennessee, has openly
declared Ins intention to vote for the
repeal of the salary grab law.
Mr. Nunn does not mean exactly*
what he says, because that law cannot
be repealed under the provision of the
constitution which declares that the
President’s compensation “ shall neither
be increased nor diminished during the
period for which he shall have been
elected.”
A new law may be passed fixing the
salaries of the members of Congress at
S5000 a y*ear. Mr. Nunn was elected
in place of William W. Vaughan, a
salary grabber.
A Visit to the ** Hardshclls.”
Cave Spring, Sept. 23, 1S73.
To tho Editor of the Courier.
I have concluded to write you a let
ter, hut this being my* first attempt at
anything of the kind, I would ask you
not to view it “ with a critic’s eye, hut
pass its imperfections by.”
Early last Sabbath morning a com
pany consisting of eight, four gentle
men and four of the light hearted, rosy
checked maidens of our little village,
donned our hats and gloves, got into a
nice large two horse wagon, and started
to the country* to attend the Hardshell
Association to he held about five miles
from town.
We arrived at the grounds about 10
o’clock, having had a very pleasant
ride, stopping now and then to get
sugar cane, etc. , Each one seemed to
he in a perfect flow of good humor, and
witicisms passed promiscuously through
the crowd; but, arrived at the place of
worship, we subdued our merriment as
best we could, put on our “Sunday
faces,” and prepared to pay strict at
tention to the services as a special token
of our respect for the feelings and opin
ion of one of our number, who was of
the Hardshell faith and order—at least
he expressed himself as being a strong
believer in what he informed us was a
part of their doctrine, “to cat fried
chicken and love women.”
The congregation had assembled and
preaching begun when we reached the
grounds, so we quietly took our seats
as near the stand as possible, but found
ourselves in too close proximity to a
hand of children, who seemed to think
it their special privilege to make an

The Right Spirit.
The action of the Moulders’ Union
of this city*, in passing the following
resolution, was praiseworthy in tho
highest degree. We honor them for
their noble action:
Whereas, The general suspension
of banks and great scarcity of money
is likely to render it impossible for our
employers to command money to meet
their monthly payments, and as it is
our desire to render them all the assis
tance in our power to pass the present
crisis; tlierefoqj be it
Resolved, That the members compos
ing this Union continue at work and
leave all our wages, over and above our
current expenses, stand without interest
until the present crisis cease.
Obituary.—Died in Cross Plains, on
September 25, 1873, Lela, daughter of
J. and SaUie Craig; Josie, daughter of
C. and Martha Sharp; Bettie, daughter
of Mrs. S. Caldwell.
Our dear little Lela, Josie and Bettie
to-day entered together “ the beautiful
gates” that were left ajar. We know
they are happy with their angel plum
age on; for sweetly they sleep, and on
dream-wings have flown to dwell with
angels in Paradise.
All that is left us of the sweet little
buds just opening to life, is “ a coffin
under the daisies.”
Only a baby's grave-
Some foot or two at the mo»t
Of star-dsiffled sod: yet I think that God
Knows what this little grave coat.
In their purity they have gone back
to the Father who gave them. And now
three little pairs of feet are treading the
starry way ; three little bird-like voices
are swelling their notes of praise to God
around the great white throne. And
oh, sorrowing parents! three little pairs
of hands are beckoning you to come up
higher.
Therefore, dry your eyes; “ pass un
der the rod,” and follow after them in
the way that leads to life everlasting.
Bear the chastening of your Father pa
ticntly, and say,
« Only ft baby’s grave!
Yet often we’ll come and sit
By tbe little stone, and thank God to own
We are nearer to him for it.”

Undeveloped Vigor.
The feeble and debilitated usually fancy they
are to mots hopeless condition then they really
Tbe resources of nsture are not so easily
exhausted Even when strength and appetite
fall, whonthe eyes are pa'lid and lustreless, the
complex!tn pallid, the nerves tremulous, the
body atteiasted,stod the mind depressed, there
is generally a reserve of latest power behind
sneh palpable evidences of weakness.
Various modes of treatment a e resorted toby
.physicians to the hope of developing and again
rendering available this store of sleeping vital
ity; bat Ue surest, asd indeed the only really
■alb »»A'reliable means of awakening the dor
mant energies of the human system is a source of
Hostetler's Stomach Bitten.
Electricity, shower baths, the flesh brash, sea
bathing,etc., may be well enough to their way
but they do not reach the sources
of the evil. All physical debility proceeds e.ther
from a derangement of the functions of assimil
ating, seentlTC or vital organs, or from sluggish
constitution. In either esse, sad also to esses
where-bsth causes exist, the Bitters will produce
an immediate and salutary change to condition
of tho patient, end eventually effect a complete
com. None ef tht dangerous alkaloids, too otter
administered as tonics, can ha otherwise than
del eta ri Gas under such circumstances, and tbe
giving of mercury is positively criminal.
Tke direct effect of the gnat vegetable ipeci-
fie wffl be manifested in an improved appetite, a
more cheerful frame of mind, a gradual return of
rtreogtb, an increase of flesh, and a healthier
complexion. Meanwhile, however, the conatitu-
tion, if inert sad fceble, will have been roused to
complete renovation by the subtle elements of in-
vigormliui contained to tho Bitlcrr. *

I air engsged in the manufacture of the cele
brated Family Medicine, at Atlanta, known as
•the Calhoun Liver and Auti-Bilioas Pill*, under
tho supervision and assistance of Dr. Calhoun
himself. This Pill has been in nse for the last
thirty-five years, and has taken precedence over
all other family preparations, by all who have
used them. Thousands would certify to tbelr
great value if necessary. One fket should roper-
rede any amount of evidence, and that feet it
this—Dr. Galhoan ha* been physician to Fulton
county prison for over seven year*, when the
number af prisoners ranged from 2fHo 70, with
all the diseases incident to this climate. With
bat few exceptions they have all been treated
with this pill, and astonishing to say, during that
long period, not a solitary death occurred under
his treatment This fact is worth any amount
of testimonials.
I AM NOW PREPARED
to fill orders from druggists, merchants, and
others. All ordera sent to me shall have prompt
attention. There is no typo of
FEVER. DYSPEPSIA, DIARRIKEA AND
RHEUMATISM,
or other dir eases ct a Southern climate, but
