And yet a more meek and humble man is hard to find—a deeply pious, and godly citizen, such indeed as we need—only more. Camp meeting was certainly pleasant, although on encampment but one day, ^Sunday;) my enjoy ment was too intense to be limited to so short a time, and left for home with a great deal of reluctance. 1 refer to that kind ot pleasure, that only seems to be alluring to the young. Without a doubt there were more pretty young ladies on the grounds thau 1 ever witnessed for so email a crowd. This no doubt will be deemed a natural conclusion for all admirers of the gentler sex. Although a stranger, I was soon made to feel comforta ble and easy through the undenia ble hospitality so characteristic with Georgians. A renewal of such an occasiou would be wel comed by “Reynolds.” September 12th, 1879. This communication should havu ap peared in our lust issue, but for waut of spftcu it was delayed.Such shall not occur again if it can be avoided. Ed. Treasure Found in Meriwether County, We learn from a citizen of our town who has lately returned from the coun ty named above, that Mr. Thomas Bowden recently purchased some land belonging to the estate of a demised widow lady of the same county. Mr. Bowden after purchasing, tore down the old house for the purpose of re building, when very much to his sur- Pri» ^ found a pot of silver that had buried beneath the building. It is alleged by some that the pot cons teinsd fourteen hundred dollars, but Mr.Bowden says there was not near so much. M. Bowden claims that the treasure belongs to him, but a nephew of the widow thinks the money belong ed to her for the following reason: The widow, who vae not quite right in her mind, was frequently heard to say while in life, that she had a friend “Bill Mitchell” to whom she could go at any time andget as mneh money as she wish ed. As there was no gentleman in the community of that name,it is now sup posed by many that she referred to the hidden pot of treasure. Our inform ant had forgotten the lady’s name. i. Editors:—I was in Car- sonville on yesterday and found that village full of life aud activi ty. The merchants appeared to be doing a thriving business, and everybody seemed to have some thing to do. Here the Methodits have a fine church building—per haps the best country church in the county. Messrs. Searcy and Bald win are building up a good and profitable busmess with their steam grist mill and gin. I was inform ed by the proprietors that they could gin six bales ot cotton and grind seventy-five bushels of com per day By running the gin alone eight to ten bales ofcottou per day could be ginned. This enterprise of Messrs, Searcy and Baldwin will do much to build up their village and they deserve great credit tor their pluck and energy. The corn crop in this section of the county is good,and it is thought the farmers will make enough to do them the coming year. The cot ton crop I am sorry to say is not so good, and if there should he an early trost it will be very short. Respectfully, W. D. Grace. September 19th, 1879. A Slight Difficulty. On yesterday evening a slight dif ficulty occurred iu the Ordinary’s office of the court house between Dr. J. P. Moyo and Mr. C. A. J. Pope. Aa we were not present we cannot tell the • tuse of this sad ocourance but it is supposed to have been caused from some previous misundorstunding;hows Prayer Meeting. Dear Herald : You are doubly dear to some of us; at least, since you have established a religious column, aud invited us of all denominations, to write for you. We hope you will always have that column tilled; for many of us are delighted wi h it. By the way, we are so glad to see the Herald enlarged aud improved; sure ly every family iu the county, and many outside the county will subscribe for it now. Why, every body ought to have at least one paper, and if they cau’t take but one surely the Herald is the one they ought to take; at leust those who live in Taylor county. But I started to say a word about prayer-meetings. I wonder if all the members ef the church know that the prayer-meeting was inaugurated by the desciples in Jerusalem in the very beginning of the (Jhristiau church: 1 wonder if they know that the "first re vival in the church was prayed down rather thun “gotten up 7” and I won der if those who absent themselves from tho prayer-meeting^ imagine that ihe church can live, lunch less prosper without prayer-meetings ? If the prayer-meeting is a necessity is it not the duty of every member to attend them as regularly as possible ? Did you over know a member of the church to enjoy religion and absent himself from the prayorsmeeting? Aud did you ever know a church to prosper, that did not keep up a prayer-meet ing? Are your churches in town pros perouV? Do they keep up prayer- meetings? Do the members attend the prayer-meetings? 1 heard a young brother say that he enjoyed a prayer- meeting at Carsouville last week more than be did all the caiup-meetiug. The prayerMueeting is a precious meeting to luy soul—1 wonder how any mem ber eau stay away. Dear reader do you attend ? If not do let me pursuade you to try them awhile. “A Prating Man.” Butler Camp Ground. We are informed “by authority”that unless as tuauy as three families from Butler shall next year tent at this Camp Ground, there will be no cuuip meeting appointed. It sccuis to us that the j»eople of Butler have enjoyed the hospitality oi their country friends sufficiently long to come forward and assist them iu bear ing the burden of this meeting. Wo say burden advisedly; with but six or eight tents iu whioh to provide for the eating aud sleeping of several him dred persons, anyone of common souse will perceive that it is a matter both troublesome and expensive. We think the experience of the past few years has shown that if camp meet ings are to be continued at this place, more tents must be built. This brings us to the question. Shall our oamp- meeting be continued ? We think the attendance upon them shows that they desired by the people and the church. If this bo the case let every church-member and those who are not, if they desire these meetings continued use their influence to have more tents built, and have tho number increased to fifty the comiug year. If this is done, the expense to each tenter will be comparatively trifling; and then tenters can enjoy the meeting them selves and be able also to make their visiting friends comfortable during the meeting. In addition to this, with fif ty tents (occupied) on the ground the church may expect great good to bo done and the cause of Christ advanced. Above all let a sufficient number of tents be built to assign one to the preacher in chargo, so that he will not have to hunt a place for his family af ter they arrive on the ground. Death of Little Virginia Cla y. At eleven o’clock, on Tuesday, 16th day of September, the pure spirit of little Jennie Clay, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sol. H. Lockett, of tliis county, left its tenement of clay, and wus borne by rejoicing angels up to thefoot of the Great White Throne. She was often called the “Centennial baby,” born on the 4th day of July, 1876, and died at the age of three years, two months and twelve days. Was sick but little more thau a week, with whooping cough and typhoid fever; her sufferings were intense, but she bore them with the greatest resignation, never complaining so long as she was in nmnnna’s lap or by her side. For a day and night before she died, she held sweet converse with the angel?, her eyes intently fixed on something others could not see, and her little arms were often raised as thoqjfh waiting to be taken in their arms and borne over the river to join the shining bands on the farther side. Beautiful and bright in life, giving pleasure to all who kuew her, and idolized by her family, even in death she was lovely beyond com parison, and is now a brilliant star in that constellation that is nestled in the arms of Jesus. Shu was too sensitive and fair a human flower to be left to battle with the rude winds of adversity in this cold world, so God in pity took her where sorrow’ and trouble cometh not. She was not given to her lov ing family—only twit for a short while to brighten their |^es; and when she was taken back to Heaven, how deso late, how lonely has she left the home and hearts of those to whom God trust* ed her for so short a time! "The soul, too soft its ills to bear, Has lef oAi mortal hemisphere, And soniffit in abetter world, the meed, To blameless life, by Heaven decreed." Reynolds, Ga., .September 19th, 1879.
