Dul you go to the barbecue?
Several drummers in town
last week.
Some of the boys are getting
hot over politics.
4§«-
We must all do all right, now,
hml bo careful; big Court Is close by,”
Said a darkey, last week.
We received a pleasant call
from Mr. Frank l\ Cray, one of the
editors of the Carters* ille K press, on
Friday hist.
The boys of the Express
heartily thank Mr. do® Tomlinson
for the nice melon he sent them on
yesterday. Their sen I intents are,
“may he live long and prosper.”
Bro, Waddey now isauea his
bp icy newspaper semi-weekly. We
congratulate him on its neat appear
ance and think it will bo well receiv
ed by our people.
Tiib recent rains have not
hud a very cooling client upon the
“dog days.” They come to us man
tled in the warmest smiles of July.
The right thing in the right
place is without doubt Dr. Bull's
Syrup, the best remedy for Bubaies
While teething. Price, only “5 cents
a bottle.
Many of our citizens unite in
proclaiming Dr. Bull’s Blood Mix*
tnre the most wonderful intigoranl
that ever sustained the sinking sys
tem.
Wo hear some complaint of
fust in cotton, and the weather now
is well calculated to make it shed;
the prospect cannot be eall.d good;
hut it is too surly to form a definite
opinion. ^
The “early and the latter
tains” have visited us since our last
issue, and our farming friends are
rejoicing greatly. Crops of all kinds
have nearly recovered from the effects
of the recent drouth, and give prom
ise of unusual abundance.
Here is the way some people
talk: “It is too hot now in summer to
attend church, in the winter it will
be too cold, and in the spring and
fall wo are too busy.” Then when
are yon going?
Atlanta Medical College.
This institution has an advertise
ment in another column. We leel
assured that no medical college out
ranks it in professienal standing.
Hardly a week passes but
What some of our exchanges remark
that “locals are scarce.” For heaven’s
sake, say nothing about it, the fact
shows plainly enough for itself with
out oalling special attention to it.
Fill up with stuffing and keep mum.
Here is the way one of our
best farmers tulk; “While I never
favored secession in 1860, I con res
pect a man who did, if he backed
his convictions iu the field. But I
cannot support a secessionist who
Stayed at home behind a ilimsy pie
text and let ino fights his battles.”
We hear that several are itn-
houucing themselves for the various
county offices, but somebody denies
it every time. The best way to do is
to Announce yourself in the Express.
It is very annoying to hear
two or more persons sitting near you
in church talking while the minister
is delivering his sermon. Have re
spect for the house of God, if not for
yourself, and disponso with talking
while there. This cap fits several
that w« know of.
Lester nt Rockmart.
Judge Lester spoke in the acade
my at Itockinart on last Saturday.
Wo are informed by a gentleman
who was present that there were
about four hundred men out to hear
him—there were three hundred and
thirty-seven by actual count inside
the acadomy and about fifty or sev-
nty-fivo crowded around the win
dows and doo s. A majority of the
crowd our informant thinks were
possibly Felton men, though wo have
aiuce heard this doubted—yet the
most careful and respectful attention
was given tho speaker. He caught
the eye of his whole audience at the
outset, charmed their attention to the
close of his speech and several times
our informant states, there were
moist eyes all over the house. Our
informant is confident that Lester
gullied voles by his speech. The
manner iu which his whole speech
was received deuumalrated this, the
close attention, the applause, laugh
ter and tno deep feeling displayed
even by these who are bitterly op
posed to him. We have yet to hear
of any place in which George Lester
bus not been well received and when
the people see him and hear him they
cannot help receiving him kindly
and respectfully. This he commands
from all. For Judge Lester we thank
our ltockmart friends for their great
kindness to him.
The Weather.
Our citizens are continually com
plaining ol the exceeding warm
weather, and sonic say it is the warm
est they ever saw. Their complaints
would turn to thankfulness if they
did but atop for a moment and think
of the intense heat of the Noithand
Northwest; in the crowded cities tho
people have been suffering for the
past month form sunslrok. Wher
the nights are so hot that sleep is
out the question. Where people
have to suspend business and resort
to every means to try and keep cool;
wearing cabbage leaves in their hats,
aud every other cool substance that
can be resorted to. Here, ulthougl
wo have a few warm hours through
the day, our nights are invariably
cool, and we are always blessed with
a good night’s rest. Truly, we ought
to think of these things when coni'-
plaining of the heat, and he thank
ful that it ia no worse. If we imag
ine it, is so very warm we will be apt 1
to find it bo, for our imaginations of
ten induce us to behVve many things.
Darling, Listen to My Story.
Certainly she will, if it is tho “Old,
Old Story,” and you tell it sweetly,
but don’t be too hasty in your woo
ing. Send her first a copy of Harry
Percy’s beautiful new song named
above, and thus gracefully hint your
intentions. There never was a pret
tier song written and singers are wild
over it. Over J.000 copies sold in
one week. For Piano or Organ and
easy to play or sing. Ask your near
est Music Dealer for it or enclose 40
Ceuts to tho Publishers, Ludden &
Bates, Savannah, Ca.
By those who ought to be
accurate judges of such things the
crowd here on last Friday at the
Barbecue is estimated at twenty-five
hundred. Tho day was unusually
quiet for so large a gathering and we
think think that thu fact was owing
less to the sheriff* and deputies than
to the good humor that pervaded the
crowd throughout tho whole day.
Considerable preparations are
being made for the concert for to
night. The Dramatis Persona are
mude up from the most accomplished
young people iu our midst, and they
are now busy every day with their
rehearsals. What, with the excellent
music we anticipate, Churades aud
Tableaux, &c., of the highest order,
we kuow their entertainment will
be varied aud charming, and from
indications already on tho surface
we kuow their audience will be large.

To protect their aped fathers
And tliuir mothers to defend.

The largest deer we have
seen for several years was killed yes
terday near the Wimberly place by
Springer Wood. His horns indica
ted that he was livo years old and he
was iu good condition. It seems a
pity that so beautiful and noble look
ing an animal —“the antlered mon
arch of the waste” should be killed
for the paltry sake of a few pounds
of meat; and we houvad a sigh when
we noticed his graceful proportions
and thought that uis fleet career was
cut short, and he could no more
“ Liko crested loader proud and high
Toss his beamed frontlet to thu sky.”
It was about this time of year
when the little boy expressed the
wish that he was built like a hen
coop, out of laths, so that the breeze
could blow right through him.

Tho Dramatic Reading by
Miss Bowen at tho Court House the
other night was elegant, displaying
extraordinary natural and skillful
training powers us an elocutionist.
Her audience was quite small. Had
the name of enlertaiment the magic
sound of Theatre, Ball or such like,
the taste which our people have late
ly disclosed in relation to such things
warrant ns in saying that her audi
ence would have hern extensive. But
no, the nature of the programme was
entirely too tame! Shame on us all!
J3T“ Marcell us E* Thornton has
announced himself an independent,
candidate for Congress in the fifth
District. We told you so! We knew
that the patriotic partridge eater

“Many Citizens” and would there
fore offer himself a sacrifice on the
altar <»f his country.
They say that the Indian name
for editor is, “Worak-to-ohe- nesohe-

thought it was. It means “tired and

Haralson County,
Mr Dili tor: On the jJihI sabbath
of last April a few persons feeling
interest! d iu the young peeplc, met
at Smith’s school house, Haralson
county, and organized a .Sabbath
School; electing ltev. Jno. B. Foster
Supt. The school has been increas
ing in interest all the time, 107 have
enrolled on its record. We know of
no moie flourishing school, or one
that has done more good in the whole
county. The teachers have been
faithful. Uucle Johnny McOlung
has been at his post every sabbath
but oue, alid tho same Is true of ull
tho teachers. The singing by this
school, when we consider that four
months ago they had not even seen
the Bongs they sing, cannst bo ex
celled.
Last Saturday the 27th of July it
was our good fortune to be one ol
the largo number that met at Smith’i
school house to hold their first cele
bration, which was a complete suc
cess. The friends had built an bar
bor capable of seating 7 or 800 people.
At an eurly hour the people from ev
ery direction began to arrive, bring
ing baskets, boxes and every thing,
they could bring provisions in, every
body seeming to vie with each other
in making the occasion a general ju
bilee. It required two wagons to
haul the provisions to tho table.
Six hundred and seventy-six per
sons were counted as they got out of
their wagons and off their hor
not counting the Sunday school.
Muscadino school was present and
delighted everybody with their sing
ing. The singing by the entertain
ing school was splendid.
The very best order prevailed
through the entire occasion. Taken
altogether it was a most complete
success.
May .Superintendent,, officers,
scholars and all live to give us anoth
er celebration next year.
Honoring.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
W.YSftlNtvlbN, Aug. 5, 1878.
Among tho recent remarks of Gen.
Grant iu Europe duly sei vi-d up here,
is one that is ve?y complimentary fo
Ben Butler as a General, a statesman
and a citizen. Gen. Butler bus
promptly responded by saying that
Grant was not only our greatest sol
dier, hut in a civil capacity showed
tho highest ordmff ability. A little
whilengo ButleHtad in print, though
he diil not publish it, a pamphlet in
which lie attempted to show and bo-
lieved that he did ehow that Grant
was a blunderer and butcher us a sol
dier, and wholy unfit, by reason of
ignorance and intcriipi rate habits, lor
ivil employment. Will Someone
find a copy of that pamphlet, and
will some Boswell reproduce the ta
bic and bottle, talk of Grant about
Butler? Both of them Wish to be
President. Grant thinks lie alone
can he elected'by the Republican par
ty, aud Butler believes that thu coun
try in the agony and delirium of giv
ing birth to a new party, may mis
take him for*a statesman aud an
honest mail. Of course they air
both doomed to disappointment, but
the publication just now of the horn.
■at opinions they entertain of each
other would have a good effect upon
people who do not understand them
both.
Maine republican convention
has about the same relation to Blaine
that the tail has to the dog. If the
Senator had made a violent green
back speech iu tho con vent ion held
at Portland the othorday, nine-tenths
of the delegatus would have applaud
ed him as heartily as ever. He hap
pened* however, to alight on the hard
money side of the fence and the ap
plause came all the same. Two-
thirds of the voters of the stale did*
liko and distrust tho man, but the
other third manage the republican
conventions.
Unless sooner called together by bulU) 10 lmiUl
tho Chairman, the Potter Committee
will not. meet again until August 13.
Then witnesses from the South will
be examined, and tno preparation ol
the report commenced. Tho House,
it will be remembered, voted that the
title ol Mr. Hayes to the Presidency
was sacred,,' and, iu effect, that that
title would not affect it if it was
shown that he wasnol really entitled
to a vote of a single state, so that
whether the Oommitte has proved,
or may -LwaafLw u-iloss it. 1W*_} mm
nished ground for impeachment,-rill
not disturb the Administration. But
after the publication of tho Commit
tee’s report, I do not believe an lion
est and well in'orined man will
assert that Haves was on titled to the
vote of Louisiana or Florida.
What little labor troubles we had
in Washington last week were set
tled summarily by the police. Ab
surd promises was given them by the
associated press 'eports. The chief
spokesman of the supposed disorder
ly class paid his fine of five dollars
and is again speaking in the streets.
The labeling men of Washington,
white and black, are as orderly as any
in the world. A year ago, when
Pittsburg and Chicago were red with
(ireand blood, lb* laborers hern were
as hungry as any but entirely pence-*
