Letter from Gum Creek.
Editor Covington >Star :
Dear Sir : As 1 am temporarily on the retir¬
ed list of the grand army of veterans who have
been fighting “Gen. Green," (being maimed with
rheumatism J, and can do nothing but fight flies,
I thought I would give you a few dots from New
Berlin.
Wheat and oats are very poor in this section,
a big estimate being a half crop of each.
The late sowing of wheat was hardly worth
cutting. My experience is that in nearly every
instance the early sowing of wheat is best.
Cotton and corn are looking well and growing
rapidly, especially where they have been proper¬
ly worked. Working hands are in great demand
everywhere, and command high wages.
The health of our community is very good.
The two oldest persons in our district are Mr.
Joab Hinton and Mr. Wiley Pool. Old Uncle
Joab Hinton is still lull of fun. He is quite a re¬
markable man. I think he his enjoyed life as
well as any man I ever *aw. Mr. Pool is still
hale and hearty, and is as full of fun as any young
man.
We expect to have a flourishing school at Gam
Creek academy this summer. It is to be taught
by Rev. J. W. Reid, of Emory college.
Our new post office, at New Berlin, is a great
convenience to the people of this section, for
which we are especially thankful to Messrs. T.
W. Anslev and S. Elias. S. R- E.
A Walking Skeleton.
Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., writes :
I was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on
lungs, and reduced to a walking Skeleton. Got
a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, which did me so much good
that I bought a dollar bottle. After using three
bottles, found myself once more a man, complete
ly restored to health, with a hearty appetite,
and a gain in flesh of 8 lbs.
Call at Brooks & Ivy’s Drug Store and get a
free trial bottle of this certain cure for all Lung
Diseases. Large bottles fi.oo.
W. 8 . Roberts, of Augusta, has whip¬
ped the fight at last against the New York
officers. His ease has been carried to the
supreme court of the United States, and
cannot poss ibly have a hearing before

Worley Fariss, the little six year old son of
Rev. Mr. Fariss, of Oxford, died on Friday af¬
ternoon, June 19 , 1885 , of dysentery. His re¬
mains were buried on Saturday morning.
Mr. McGinnis is going to erect a nice
suit of bath houses ou Dried Indian creek,
near the mill, which will no doubt be lib¬
erally patronized by our people.
Messrs. Thompson & Lee have sold 40
coffins since the first of May. These were
not all used in Covington, but includes
those sent into the country.
The commencement exercises at Emory
college will take place next week. The
commencement sermon will be preached
next ercises Sunday will morning, and the usual ex¬
follow during the week .
A man named W. B. Corley, of A la„
walked into Heintz A Berbelo’s nu n
store, in Atlanta, one morning last
week, purchased a pistol, and shot
himself through the head while in the
store. He died in a few minutes.—
No cause is given for the suicide.
As the talk about the new railroads has ab¬
sorbed public attention for several weeks, other
public interests have been allowed to occupy but
secondary places in the public mind. This must
not be the case. W e must
talk them all up. That 840,000 brick hote*
must not be forgotten. We must have it. Our
college must be built up, also, and 200 young
ladies secured for it as pupils for the next term.
There is no interest in the community in which
all should unite more heartily to build up than
our female college. Let us give it a boom for
the fall term. It should have 200 young lady pu¬
pils, and the way to get them is for everybody
to work for the college.

Death of Mrs. J- H- Griffin
Mrs. Susie C. Griffin, wife of Mr. James 11.
Griffin, of Oxford, died on Friday afternoon,
June 19 , 18 S 5 , of typhoid dysentery, aged about
42 years. She was the daughter of the late Dr.
A. .Means, of Oxford, was a devoted member of
the Methodist church, an effectionate and loving
wife and mother, and a kind and generous neigh¬
bor and friend. Her son died just two weeks !
before, and she never fully recovered from this
sad bereavement. Her last illness was of short
duration, being less than two weeks, but was in¬
tensely severe. She leaves a husband and seven
children, four of which arc quite small. To
these bereaved ones the sympathy of the Star
is extended with heartfelt sincerity. Her burial
took place on Saturday afternoon.
Thousands Say So.
Mr. T. W. Atkins, Gi-aril, Kan., writes : “I

How He Got a Position.
“I applied for a position in a banking
house in Wall street six months ago, and
although I proved my competency, they
would not take me. I h.ul been down on

Another Cancer.
About throe years ago tbore ap¬
pealed on my right breast several
hard lumps which gave in" almost
intolerable pain. They continued to
grow, and finally developed into
what the doctors called cancer of the
breast, in a short time I found my
strength gone and my constitution a
total wreck. From a robust woman
I was reduced to a helpless invalid.
Several of the best physicians of At¬
lanta treated me for cancer, but
with ittt improving my corulit ion in
the least, and finally agreeing that
they could do nothing tu >ro for me.
Thi cancer by this time was eating
out i»3 very life, and lor five months
I was a helpless, bedridden creature.
About one year ago. at the sugges¬
tion of a friend, I commenced the
use of Swift’s Specific. The first in
flueneo of the medicine was to in
crease the discharge, but alter a
month or til ire I began to improve,
and this wonderful m alicitie has
brought back my health again, ]
now do my own house work, I am
p ofectly free from pain, and feci
like a new person altogether I can¬
not feel too grateful lor this wonder¬
ful recovery, for 1 am s ttisfi - d if it
had not been lor Swift's Specific I
would have been in my grave to-day
I most cheerfully recomm md it to
all lluso who are suffering with this
tearful disease.
