Interesting Exercises—An Admirable
Discourse.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather on Sunday morning last, a
very large audience assembled at the
Methodist Church to witness the in
teresting exercises that took place.
A few minutes before 11 o’clock, the
scholars of the Public School,number
ing nearly three hundred, entered the
Church, accompanied by the Superin
tendent and Teachers, and took their
seats, which were reserved for them.
The exercises were opened by the
singing of a very beautiful and ap
propriate hymn, by the choir, com
posed of members of the graduating
class, and the entire school joining in
sweet accord, Prof. Schneider per
forming on the organ in his usual
skillful manner. Rev. J. O. A. Cook
then read a lesson from the Scripture
and offered up a devout prayer to the
Throne of Grace, after which another
hymn was sung. The singing was de
lightful, the children all seemed to
have been well trained in this holy
exercise. Then came the
SERMON
by Rev. J. O. A. Cook, which is wor
thy of a more extended and better
notice than we are able to give at this
time. His theme was based upon the
text taken from the 4th chapter of
Proverbs and 7th verse, “Wisdom is
the principal thing; therefore get wis
dom.” He endeavored to impress
upon the minds of his hearers, that
the main thing to obtain in this world
was pure and undefiled religion, that
wisdom without religion wouldn’t
amount to much, but coupled with
religion, the pursuits of life would be
a success. The text was skillfully
handled and practically illustrated.
The sermon was principally addressed
to the young, and contained many
useful and interesting lessons to them.
Taken altogether, it was one of the
best sermons for such an occasion that
it lias ever been our pleasure to have
heard. It is to be hoped that much
good will be accomplished by an ap
plication of the good advice, and
unanswerable proof given.
The exercises wore closed by a beau
tiful prayer from Rev. Mr. Bussey, of
the Baptist Church, after which the
doxology was sung, and the congrega
tion dismissed.
Closing Exercises of the Public
Schools.
Our Public School system is con
ceded to be the best ever inaugurated
in our city. The Board of Education
is composed of prominent citizens
who feel a deep pride iii yearly ad
vancing the efficiency and standard.
The schools are the pride of the com
munity, and the commencements
never fail to attract large and delight
ful audiences. The indefatagible Su-
Neely, Esq., omits
nothing that conspires to advance the
interest of the schools. In this he has
the cordial co-operation of able assis
tants.
On Friday evening, the 15th, the
graduating exercises of the High
School will take place at the Opera
House. We understand that the
written examinations of the graduat
ing class have been very creditable,
and display remarkable proficiency
on the part of the scholars. The pro
motions in the different classes will
be general. We are pleased to record
the prosperous condition of our Public
Schools, and with assurance predict
that the graduates of the present ses
sion, both girls and boys, will acquit
themselves witii high honor, and re
flect credit upon the school and
teachers.
An Apology.
The names of the graduating class
of our Public School, as published in
the Republican last Saturday,
should have appeared alphabetically,
as they were intended to be, and the
figures opposite the name of each in
dicated, and not intended to represent
the standing of the scholar, as stated.
YVe regret that this error should have
occurred, as it was calculated to create
a wrong impression upon tho minds
of the friends of the young graduates,
as to their true standing in their stu
dies. We would not, under any con
sideration,do any of our young friends
a wrong in this or any other respect,
and we hope this apology will be
acceptable to them and their friends.

The Crops.
The rains for tho last few days has
descended in torrents. Farmers are
aghast at the havoc being played
with oats. Those who have cut, say
that the crop is mildewing on the
ground, not having had time to gath
er them in. Corn in some places is
firing from too much wet, while ev
erything is growing rankly. Grass
has put In a heavy appearance, and is
wantonly overruiming the fields. A
good prospect for a heavy hay crop in
its season.

Organization of a New Church,
A large congregation assembled at
the Presbyterian House of worship
last Sunday, to witness the organiza
tion of Bethel African Missionary
Baptist Church. Rev. B. B. Hinton
officiated, assisted by Rev. Harvey
Davis, col., of Albany. Mr. Hinton
preached a plain instructive sermon
from the text “God is Love.” He
spoke earnestly and persuasively and
so plain that his hearers had no cause
to doubt the great and grand love of
God to man. He is a great help and
instructor to the colored people
wherever he preaches to them. After
the sermon by Mr. Hinton, Rev.
Harvey Davis was elected Moderator
and Mat Hart, Clerk. Mr. Hinton
then proceeded into the organization
of the Church, by examining the ap
plicants and their appeals. Satisfied
in this particular, the names were en
rolled, amounting to about seventy.
Rev. J. S. Strong was elected pastor.
Jas. Langley, Jackson Jones, Dubrow
Townsend, deacons, and Solomon
Cooper, Clerk. A Sabbath School
will be organized next Sunday.

Another Landmark Gone.
We are called upon this morning to
announce the death oi Air. Allies
Lamb of Sumter county who died on
Friday the Bth inst., in the 97th year
of his age, having been born in the
year 1786. He was in the war of 1812.
He moved from North Carolina to
Crawford County Ga., in 1831, and
from thence to Sumter county in 1838,
where ho has lived ever since, was the
father of 23 children, 9 of, whom are
nowliving, two sons and sevendaugh
ters, all grown. He had been a mem
ber of the Primitive Baptist church
for 70 years, was well known through
out this and adjoining counties as a
whole-souled, clever man, and a most
genial and humane companion. He
was a patriot and true to his friends,
and died of old age. Alay the turf

The Seven Years of Plenty.
YVe have on our editorial table,
from tho garden of the Senior of this,
paper; a curiosity in tho shape of
a corn tassel, it consists of seven ears
of corn, with the tassel and silk at
tached. YVe have seen seven ears of
com grown together on one stalk,
but never have we seen them togeth
er witii the tassel before. It reminds
one of the seven years of plenty, that
was predicted by Joseph in the prison
ol Egypt, which made him a ruler of
that country centuries ago. Wonder
if auy Joseph will come forward and
let us know what these portend?

For Benefit of Housekeepers.
As the house-cleaning season lias
set in we copy the following hints
from one of our exchanges, and pub
lish them for the benefit of house
keepers: For ordinary woodwork
use whiting to rub the dirt oft', and
ammonia and copperas mixed with
whitewash upon the cellar walls will
keep vermin away. Ceilings that
have been smoked with kerosene oil
should be washed off with soda wa
ter. Good fires should be kept up du
ring house-cleaning time, even though
the doors and windows be kept open.
Drain-pipes and all places that are
sour or impure may be cleaned with
lime water, copperas water or carbol
ic acid. Salt liberally sprinkled over
a carpet before sweeping will absorb
the dirt and dust, and will bring out
the colors as fresh as new. Paper and
plaster are active absorbents, and
when they become thoroughly satu
rated with various etlluvia, nothing
but entire renewal will cleanse them.
If the wall about the stove lias been
smoked by the stove, cover the black
patches with gum shellac and they
will not strike through the paint or
calcimine.
Eating Lemons,
A good deal has been said through
the papers lately about the healthful
ness of lemons. The latest advice as
to how to use them so they will do
the most good runs as follows: “Alost
people know the benefit of lemonade
before breakfast, but few know how
it is more than doubled by taking
another at night, also. The way to
get the better of a billious system
without blue pills or quinine, is to
take the juice of one, two or three
lemons, as the appetite craves, in as
much ice-water as makes it pleasant
to drink, without sugar, before going
to bed. In the morning on rising, or
at least half an hour before break
fast, take the juice of one lemon in a
goblet of water. This will clear the
system of humors and bile, with mild
efficacy, without any of tho weaken
ing effects of calomel or congress wa
ter. People should not irritate the
stomach by eating lemons clear; the
powerful acid of the juice, which' is
almost corrosive, infallibly produces
inflamation after a while, but prop
erly diluted, so that it does its full
medicinal work without harm, and
when tho stomach is clear of food lias
abundant opportunity to work on the
system thoroughly.”
The Bad and Worthless
are never imitated or counterfeited.
This is especially true ol' a family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy imi
tated is of the highest value. As soon as
it had been tested and proved by the whole
world that llop Bitters was the purest, best
and most valuable family medicine on earth
many imitations sprung up and began to
steal tho notices in which tho press and
people of the country had expressed the
merits of 11. 8., and in every way trying to
induce suffering invalids to use their stuff
instead, expecting to make money on tho
credit and good name of H. B. Many others
started nostrums put up in similar style to
H. 8., with variously devised names in
which the word “Hop” or “Hops” were
used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the samo as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures, no mat
ter what their style or name is, and especi
ally those witii tho word “Hop” or "Hops”
in their name or in any way connected
with them or their name, ace imitations or
counterfeits, Beware of them. Touch
none of them. Uso nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, witii a bunch or cluster of
green Hops on tho white label, Trust noth
ing else. Druggists and dealers aro war ned
against dealing In imitations or counterfeits.

Truck and Truckers.
Americus, Ga., June 12,1883.
Col. Hancock: Youknowaswell
as others that I am engaged in the
“truck” business, as shipper, buyer
and raising some of the very paying
stuff. And if you don’t believe it is
a paying thing, I will give you a few
figures, which will convince you, or
any other man, one way or the other.
The first shipment of potatoes made,
for which I paid SI.OO per bushel, was
matlo to Chicago and Cincinnati,
which resulted as follows:
Four barrels potatoes shipped to
Chicago, cost here SIO.OO.
Sold there for $13.00
Freight $7.75
Commissions 1.30 9.05
Account sales, net proceeds.. $ 3.95
Profit over tho left, this end, $6.05.
The returns from a similar shipment
made to Cincinnati were equally as
satisfactory, or nearly so. Four bar
rels, after pay iug freight ,commissions,
etc., brought $3.90. Cost here SIO.OO,
so you can see at once that this is a
profitable business, and would con
tinue long in the business if the money
would, hold out. You should also
know that I shipped 10 crates of
peaches to Philadelphia that cost here
SI.OO per crate, and of course arrived
in good order, by selling for such
enormous price. The 10 crates sold
there for $3, leaving a balance not in
our favor for a little over SB.OO. Well,
so far it is a good thing—lovely; don’t
get enough out of tho business to pay
the railroad and express companies.
Next shipment I make will have to
do like I heard Bro. Wells, of Smith
ville, did—borrow S3O to pay railroad
expenses, after furnishing the truck
off his own farm. Tho Railroad Com
mission will reduce the rate of freight,
so we truckers will have cheap rates,
and a good time to take effect next
October, when the potatoes, cabbages
and melons -will be in good shipping
condition.
N*w one word to those who wish to
sell or have us ship their vegetables,
melons, &c. Bear in mind, and dont
forget to bring all the inferior stuff
you have, such as old tougli beans,
very small potatoes, and inferior cab
bage, etc. By doing this the railroad
charges will have to be prepaid, and
you will never hear of the truck
again, for they will not sell.
The railroad is partial to Americus
in its charges. The tariff' for instance
per car load from Americus to Cincin
nati is $76.00, while it is from Smith
ville and Andersonville $74.00 to same
point. You see we have the same
advantage in freight as we did in the
sale of the stuff shipped, $2.50 per car
not in our favor. But we keep living,
and we wish the Central and S. YV.
R. R.’s much success, and hope by the
first of October next we will have
lower rates, especially on potatoes,
cabbage and melons, for there are
right smart of them planted, and
won’t these railroad fellows have a
good time. About next November 1
learn they will have a lot of fruit and
melon cars ready. This is a lovely
business. I like it, I do. Yours truly,
A. C. Bell.,
If you aro a frequenter or a resident
of a miasmatic district, barricade your
system against the scourge of all new
countries—ague, billious and inter
mittent fevers—by the use of Hop
Bitters.

About Wives.
“A wife is the gift of Heaven—
there’s no doubt of it. Every other
kind of gift, such as lands, rents, fur
niture, right of pasture or common—
these are ail mere gifts of fortune,
that pass away like shadows on a wall;
but you have to apprehend no such
misfortune with a wife. Your wife
will last longer, perhaps, even than
you may desire. A wife! Why, how
can a man have any adversity that
has a wife? Answer me that. Tongue
cannot tell nor heart think of the
felicity there is between a man and
his wife. If he is poor she helps him
to work. She takes care of his money
for him, and never wastes anything.
She never says ‘Yes’ when lie says
‘No.’ ‘Do this,’ says lie. ‘Directly,’
says she. Oh! blessed institution.
Oh! precious wedlock; tliou art so
joyous, and at the same timo so vir
tuous, and so recommended to us all,
and so approved by us all, that every
man who is worth a farthing should
go down on his bare knees every day
and be thankful for having such a
wife; or, if he hasn’t got one, he ought
to pray for one, and beg that she may
last him to his life’s end, for his life
is in that case set in security. He has
only to act by his wife’s advice, and
he may hold up his head with the
best. A wife is so true and so wise.
Oh! ever while you live take your
wife’s advice, if you would be thought
a wise man.”
This extract is from tho poet Chau
cer, modernized by Leigh Hunt. It
is full of sarcasm, as you may see;
but, girls, it will serve a good purpose
If it makes you resolve never in your
own persons to be examples of the
great difference that often exists be
tween what a wife is and what she
ought to be.

Success always follows the
general approval of the public,
and the surest test of merit, so
far as a business house is con
cerned, is the unanimous en
dorsement of its patrons. That
this rule aptly applies to J. Wax
elbaum & Cos. is manifested by
the throng of customers daily
seen at their great Dry Goods,
Carpet, Clothing, Boot, Shoe
and Hat Emporium, large num
iers of whom are old friends,
bringing with them acquain
tances to introduce, and all
attracted by the beautiful dis
play of
SPRING GOODS,
and the extremely low prices
attached to them. This magni
ficent exhibition embraces all
conceivable styles and patterns
known to the trade; is beyond
question the most extensive ever
seen in Americus. Certainly a
man cannot go amiss in making
selections, as he. has presented
for his inspection the richest as
well as the plainest fabrics of the
very latest fashion, and suhstan-

omical buyers. Remembfe*' that
