Sunday, his pulpit was most acceptably filled
by Rev. W. F. Stark, who, we learn, deliver
ed an able sermon to a large and attentive
congregation.
ii? This evidently means business. Dr.
(Ircenwade (Indian Doctor,) is fitting up an
establishment on the north-east corner of the
"square.” All things considered, the Doctor
seems to be prospering and “going on to
prosper.”
V? According to the ruling of Judge Pitt
man's Court, the present “stringent epoch”
is no time to indulge in “ unnecessary luxu
ries." A few “ cuss words” frequently in
volves a special contribution from “ten”
upwards, and sometimes a little higher.

FF’We understand thatacolored gent who
a( l been “ bought out” of prison some time
last year, by Maj. Poole, took “ French leave”
a few nights or days since, and has not, as
F'. been heard from. We also hear rumors
some corn speculations in connection with
his absence.
l?We regret to state that Mr. Geo. Stan
-1, !.v has been confined to his house and home
lor some time past with an affection of the
kidneys, combined perhaps, with some other
disease. We trust Mt. Stanley will soon be
in his “ usual haunts” and able to attend to

John MeCoy, who we announced
a short time ago, as having been hurt by his
mules running off and throwing him from a

GT The genial physiognomy of Maj. M. P.

~r A Safe Burner.
We were shown by Rev. W. W. Oslin, of
the WatkinjviUe Circuit, last week, anew,
and we think, with all “the lights before us,”
a very safe burner for ordinary kerosene
lamps. The danger from accidents, said our
Rev. friend, in “expatiating” on his burner,
comes from at least three quarters : “ Blow
ing oat the lamp; explosion from accumu
lated gas and turning over.” The “ improved
burner,” for which Mr. Oslin has an agency,
is constructed with an “ eye single” to the
obviation of accidents from these three causes.
Our Rev. friend spoke of visiting this part of
the moral vineyard some time soon ; should
he do so, we bespeak for him that kind of re
ception and welcome which we believe Jeffer
son has in store for the class of good and
worthy men of which Mr. Oslin is so apt an
“ illustration.”
Improvement in Carriage and Wagon
Wheels.
Mr. D. J. Matthews, of this county 7 , showed
us the other day the model of a simple, j*et
ingenious improvement in carriage and wagon
wheels, which he has had properly “cavcated”
in the Patent Office in Washington. Our ig
norance of the “ technical terms” of the vari
ous parts of the wheel forbids onr attempting
to describe this improvement. But from what
Mr. Matthews tells us, he will soon have it
“ before the people,” and they* can then judge,
for themselves, of its merits. Viewed from
our stand-point, we think the improvement
quite a valuable one—and one much needed.
For the Benefit of the Good Templars.
We had a call on Wednesday afternoon last,
from Mr. C. A. Howard, of Atlanta, who pro
poses to give an exhibition here on Friday
Evening, June 2d, under the auspices and for
the benefit of the Good Templars.
The entertainment is entitled “Howard’s!
Cosmorama," and consists of a large number
of elegant views, and comprises those of a
sacred, historical, scientific and amusing cha
racter. The object is a worthy one, and,
when it is considered our people—especially
the young—have so few opportunities of gra
tifying their curiosity in such things, we hope
to see this “moral exhibition” well patroniz
ed. Tickets, 25 cents; children, 15 cts.
To the Travelling Public.
Attention is called to the notice of Col. B.
W. Wrenn, of the Kenncsaw Route in to-day r s
issue. And while on this subject, we may 7 as
well mention that we notice the arrange
ments for transportation of delegates and
visitors to the National Democratic Conven
tion, which convenes in St. Louis Tuesday
June the 27, is complete. Special Pullman
cars are to leave Atlanta Sunday 5.40 a. rn.,
June 25th, arriving in St. Louis at 5.30 p. m.,
June 26th, without change. The route will
be via Nashville, and Columbus. Ky. Excur
sion tickets will be on sale June 25th, one
day only, from Atlanta to St. Louis and re
turn, at $25.00. Parties desiring to take their
families with them can use these tickets.
Crop Reports.
Barring the fact mentioned last week, of
the complaints of.rust and fly in the wheat,
the reports of the growing crops—at home
and abroad—are truly 7 enconragin g. And
now, should Providence smile on us as a
section, in the visitation of no unusual ca
lamity—with our people in their wonted
health—their barns and storehouses filled
with the actual necessaries of life—and with
a political revolution this Fall that will
sweep off every vestige of Radical roguery
and maladministration of the Federal and
State governments—surely we may r look for
ward to anew impetus in all the industries
of the country 7 which will render ns indeed
and in truth the happiest and most prosper
ous people the world has ever known—com
paratively speaking. Let us take courage.
Homicide in Madison County.
A writer in the Carnesville Register says :
About 11 o’clock, a. m., on Sunday last. 14th
inst., William Graham and William King,
citizens of Madison county, engaged in a
scuftle, which grew into a fight. During the
affray, Graham threw' a small rock at King,
which struck him on the forehead, near the
edge of the hair. The blow did not fell
King to the ground, and it was not known
that he was hurt any of consequence until
night. Dr. Daniel, the attending physician
found upon examination that the skull was
crushed in, and that the patient was beyond
the reach of surgical skill. He was in a
dying condition on Thursday morning. Gra
ham was arrested. Cause—Whiskey.
Another writer—a “traveling ;correspond
ent”—in the same paper, savs tins concerning
Col. Legg's springs and nursery-:—Speaking
of nurseries, that of Mr.Legg. near Jefferson,
deserves special notice, as being supplied
with the most select varieties of fruit trees
adapted to this climate. This farm is also
noted for its valuable mineral springs which
possess rare and varied medicinal virtues.
Within a space of ten steps T counted ho less
than six bubbling laboratories all differing
in taste and analysis. Not long since, INIr.
Legg was so unfortunate as to lose by fire
his dwelling with nearly all its furniture yet
“nothing daunted” he has gone to work and
will soon have another completed.

A Trip to the “ Queen City.”
Au esteemed friend, to whom we are tinder
obligations for many favors “editorially,”
hands us the following interesting account of
a recent visit to the “ Queen City of the
Mountains” t
Mr. Editor— Your correspondent recently
made a flying trip to the beautiful city of
Gainesville—the Queen city of the Moun
tains. The often repeated doubts about the
permanency of the improvements have final
ly given way, and what was thought to be
mushroom growth has proven to be substan
tial prosperity. Amidst these hard times, I
was told that there were no less than six new
buildings in process of erection. Others
perhaps, soon to be begun. Nearly all the
merchants seem buoy’ant and happy', and say
these times have cut down their trade only a
little. The streets are in very' fine order, and
the entire place is bright and clean.
I visited the famous Gower and Limestone
Springs. The former is just a few steps over
a mile from town, and the latter two miles.
The Gower spring is said to contain many
health-giving properties, and is certainly
largely impregnated with iron. It bubbles
forth from the vast beds of mineral beneath,
as cold as is agreeable with the teeth, on a
hot day. Any one visiting Gainesville, will
he amply rewarded by a visit to this spring.
It was mv pleasure, on the Sabbath, to at
tend the Baptist church services. The Sab
bath School is in very successful operation
under the superintendence of Mr. Gordon.
One hundred and twenty-eight were reported
as belonging to the school—not all present,
of course. It was my privilege to read with
the Bible class, consisting of perhaps, twen
ty-five members, one of whom asked, “ Did
the Apostle Paul receive any compensation
from the churches for his own benefit ?” The
question was most fully if not satisfactorily
answered, that he did.
At 11 o’clock, the pastor, Rev. W. C.
Wilks, by previous appointment, preached a
stirring and effective sermon against the evil
habit of indiscriminate novel reading. The
discourse cannot fail to do good. Many a
lovely and beautiful child has wasted its en
ergies for that which perished with the using.
Cultivating a taste for the imaginary, they
loose all interest in the solid truth, and fail
an easy prey to skepticism, &c. An appoint
ment was made for the singing class to meet
at 4 o'clock, P. M.; but between the adjourn
ment from preaching and the meeting for
singing, Dr. Brock, whose residence is on the
street I passed, had removed to climes imma
terial. lie had been sick for several weeks,
and left no very satisfactory evidence of any
preparation for the event. He-leaves a wife
and little daughter to mourn his loss.
The singing in the evening at the church,
was charming. Miss Wilks and Miss Langs
ton, alternating organists, performed their
parts well. The large room was filled with
melody, the only deficiency being a want of
a sufficient number of male voices to success
fully compete with those of the other sex.

How Clarkesboro’ is Getting Along.
Mr. Editor : —As it has been some time
since I have had the pleasure of seeing you
or paying your charming little village a visit,
I take this opportunity to note a few facts
about our portion of the county —which is
Clarkesboro’.
In the first place, farmers are very much
engaged in working out their corn, cotton and
potatoes. Since the weather has been warm
and pleasant, everything in the farming line
appears to be thriving finely. Corn is grow
ing rapidly, and looks very fine for the season.
The farmers in this vicinity are working their
cotton at this time ; some are done chopping
over, others are trying to get through in order
to commence in their corn the second time.
INI r. Editor, we intend to try and make
plenty of corn this } 7 ear, and raise our pork,
thinking that the best plan to prosper on the
farm. Now, as to wheat, we find some crops
in this vicinity greatly damaged with the
rust, while other crops appear unhurt, having
but little or no rust. Fall oats are heading,
and look very fine. Fruit in this section is
not very plentiful; there are more apples
than peaches. The grape crop will be abun
dant, judging from the blooms. There is
but one thing going wrong in our community,
that I know of, and that is, the coons and
’possums are dreadful on chickens in these
parts. I notice that “Beppo” states that he
has crossed “Curry’s Creek”; I wish he
would turn the head of the dog down here
until we can run out the last coon and ’pos
sum that is a thief in the night. Thirty lit
tle chicks are now motherless on account of
those dreadful monsters. Now, in regard to
the people in this section, they are generally
law-abiding and peacable citizens; mostly
temperate, especially at this time. There is
one splendid church in this section, that is
Lebanon. There is a flourishing Sabbath
School going on there, which is quite inter
esting. There is also anew mill down in this
burg, which is the property of Win. Cheeley.
It is situated on the creek, at his gin house,
near his residence.
Chirkesboro’ appears to be wide-awake on
the subject of corn, wheat and meat. It is a
healthy place, and everybody appears to take
a great delight in eating. We have Irish po
tatoes in abundance, whenever we feel like
eating them, and that is every day about din
ner time, and sometimes between meals.
Tiie Torest News is a popular paper in
tills with both old and young; all
appear to rejoice at its arrival, and then every
one wants to read it first. For fear of weary
ing you, Mr. Editor, I will close for the pres
ent. Yours, truly’, Ei.mo.
Oak Grove, May 24 th, 1876.
A Dearth of News.
In the “ newsy world” at present there is
but little of an interesting or important
character. In Congress, the time drags on
in a dull monotonous style—no business be
ing transacted in which the mass of the peo
ple feel any interest. While in our own State
and section, nothing exciting seems on the
“ tapis.” The great “ Centennial” idea now
appears to be “ Bread and meat—where is it
to come from ?”
Ijp’By’ a collision on the Western and
Atlantic Railroad on Saturday last, a mile
or so from Kingston, 9even or eight persons
were wounded. Two supposed mortally.
Pond Fork Notes.
HARMONY BAPTIST CHURCH, nALL CO.
This church is just above the Jackson line,
on the Hall side, near Mrs. Mangum's mill.
It is very numerously attended, and has a
large membership. The Rev. Wiley C. Smith,
of Hall, is the popular pastor. He is a man
of acknowledged piety and ability ; a man of
worth and influence, and as pastor is greatly
loved and honored by his different churches.
Ml Robert D. Hawkins is the chorister of
the church, as well as Superintendent of the
Sabbath school. The congregation join very
heartily in the singing, which should be done
everywhere. The music here is most excel
lent and a very striking feature in the wor
ship at this church. There is a certain rude
ness practiced or indulged in at this church
by a few boys, and it is simply mentioned in
the hope that it may be corrected—T allude
to remaining out of doors until the minister
begins to read his hymn or sometimes his text.
The congregation always sing a “voluntary”
before preaching, to open divine worship,
during which time all persons } r et out of the
house should go in to avoid a disturbance
afterwards. This matter is mentioned with
the best of motives and the kindest feelings.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEAR CALDWELL’S STORE.
The citizens in the neighborhood, have de
termined to conduct a Sunday school and
singing every Sunday afternoon, at 3 o’clock,
in a vacant house near Caldwell's store, and
have prepared seats and made necessary ar
rangements. The first meeting Was fast Sun
day afternoon, and was largely attended I)3'
the young folks, and it promises to he a favo
rite and useful place of resort. Such an
arrangement will prove most beneficial to the
community. Bv contact or association we
see and learn more of each other, and the
standard of appreciation or respect is elevat
ed, and generally the “little small” backbit
ing or slander so common in the country is
effectually killed out. We do hope to seethe
citizens bring, not send, their chil Iren to this
school. They' may learn to read and sing
without cost, and then there are many other
advantages attending such association. It
is the desire of all to make this school and
singing both popular and useful; and to that
end, all lovers of Sunday schools or singing,
far and near, arc invited to come and bring
books and join in.
RUST ON WHEAT.
There is a great “ hue and cry” about rust
on wheat, but from my observation, l am of
the opinion it is greatly exaggerated. It is
true there is some rust, or rather mould on
the blade, but I think it is perfectly harmless ;
the heads are firm and well filled, and in my
opinion, we will be blessed with an abundant
harvest of wheat an l fall oats. Field crops
are now growing right along, and it is funny
to see how bravely the fanners have opened
tliA summer fight with “general green.”
A YOUNG COW.
Mr. William Mathews has a heifer just
eighteen month* old, that, has a calf and is
giving a nice chance of milk. This is the most
remarkable case of the k : nd I ever saw or

A Newton County Murderer Caught.
About two 3'ears ago, an atrocious murder
was committed in Newton count}', on the body
of a pedlar named Gallagher, by a negro
named Berry Philips. Philips had evaded
the officers of the law up to a few days ago—-
spending his time at different points. She
riff Anderson, of Newton county 7 , had been
making strenuous efforts to capture Philips
for some time, and finall}' succeeded, w.th
the aid of a defective and policeman of At
lanta in arresting his prey 7 not far from that
city, on the place of a Mr. Jolly’. The negro
confessed the deed, and is now in prison at
Covington.

Why Will Ye Die? —Death, or what is worse,
is the inevitable result of continued suspension of
the menstrual flow. It is a condition which should
not be trifled with. Immediate relief is the only
safeguard against constitutional ruin. In ail
cases of suppression, suspension or other irregu
larity of the “courses.” Dr. J. Brndfield’s Female
Regulator is the only’sure remedy. It acts by
giving tone to the nervous centres, improving the
blood and determining directly to the organs of
menstruation. It is a legitimate prescription, and
the most intelligent Doctors use it. Prepared by’

I take pleasure in stating that [ have used for the
last twenty years the medicine y’ou are putting

in domestic practice, and can honestly say that l
consider it a boon to suffering females, and can
hut hope that every lady in our land, who may’ be
suffering in any way peculiar to their sex. may’ he

not only’ he relieved, but they may he restored to
