Mr. Hesterly ot the sixth district

Such material favors as the above
are duly appreciated. As we have
had occasion heretofore to remark,
country editors, one of whom we

not much on the ‘gush,’ yet on such

SWEET DREAM OF OTHER DA YS.

How lot the heart with gladness bent,
Oh wake the Lute that s lain so long,
And let n’s notes so soft and sweet,
lie heard again in melting song.
Yes tun • thy voice to gentlest 1 »ys.
To breathe tire joy that music brings
Call back the thought of by-gone days,
'Tie there that mem’ry loudly clings.
Let every chord that moves the heart,
Whnt sweetest music charms the whole,
'Ti l happy dreams of childhood start,
•With every pulse that warms the so .1.
iTln-u bid foul hope return sgiiu,
W an all its rlust’ringololds of light.
Let friendship mingle iu the strain,
And j*>y and hype and love unite.
J.ct fancy twine her golden wreath,
With dangling gems all brightly r-et,
And love and hope and friendship breathe,
Those joyous sounds—we love them yet.
*
•Till heart and mind are lulled to ease,
And friendship links her broken ties,
Let every note that swells the breeze,
In so.te.l, sweetest, cadence rise.
’Tis music's charms will softly thrill.
With joys that soothe the aching breast—
Fond niem'ry lores to linger still,
Around those scenes ot tranquil rest.
Sweet dream of other days return,
Golden links we dare not sever,
Ob let the lamp still brightly burn,
W ith friendship, hope, nud love forever.

Powerful dull times these days, but
this is a good sign, as the farmers are
staying at home, looking after their
crops.
A. B. Sharp & Bro., has had a neat
awning put in front of their store,
which we think helps the appearanco
of things smartly.
R. J. Gaines the poet laureate of
Carroll county, left Wednesday even
ing ,for a short visit to Atlanta.—
We commend him to the kind con
sideration of the Atlanta quill drivers,
and also to the tender mercies of the
Belle street widow,
Mrs. Jim Moore lias one of the best
gardens in town. We took a look at
it on last Saturday and must say that
it would be hard to beat. A good i;ar»
den is a good thing to have these
hard limes, and Mrs. M. generally
manages to have one of the best.
We see ft ora the Atlanta Constitu -
tion of last Wednesday that Major
Richardson ot this place, has been ap
pointed by the Governor, one of the
board of visitors, to attend the exami
nation of the Senior class at the Uni
versity ot Georgia, in July, and ot the
students ot the Atlanta University
(colored) in June.
THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL PICNIC.
Last Sunday was a gala day lor the
Sunday schools of this place and at an
early hour the chapel ot the Masonic
Institute was alive with the little peo
ple. Although the day was unpropi
tious, it did not affect the spirits of the
little folks, who were as cheerful and
buoyant as they could possibly be.
We regret getting to the chapel too
late to hear the speeches of the occa
sion. The address of welcome was
made by Mr T. B Davis ot the Baptist
Sunday school and responded to by
the Rev. Mr. Quillian, pastor of the
M. E. church. We learn that both
ot the addresses were short, approprß
ate and well-timed. With these ad
dt ■esses and some lively singing by the
little tolks, the formal exercises ot the
day closed. The brevity ot these ex
ere ices was one of their most com men
dable features.
The next thing iu order was dinner
and here everything was iuforuial.—
There was no standing back on cerev
mony; The good thiugs prepared for
the occasion were spread out on
cloths on the lower floor of the Insti
tute, and from the abundance of every
thing, one would not have thought
there were any hard times in the land.
And the way everbody, little and big,
enjoyed that dinner, it was pleasant to
behold. As we have said there was
no formality everything was
free and easy, and everyone seemed
to enjoy the occasion.
After dinner the young people or
ganized several games, which were
heartily joined in by their elders, who
seemed to enjoy these old time plays,
with as much zest as the little toks.
In this manner the most of the even
ing was spent by the little people who
will no doubt long remember the pic
nic occasion of this year. Take it all
in all, we think it was one of the most
enjoyable we have ever attended.
The May number of the Southern
Farmer and Planter, published by L-
R. Dickinson, Richmond Virginia,
has been laid upon our table. Judg
ing by its table of contents and the
cursory glance which we have given
its pages, we should pronounce it a
valuable auxiliary to the farmer.—
Price $2 per annum.
E'iue Clover.
Judge Shelnutt ot Bowdou has laid
upon our table some stalks of very
fine clover. In fact we never saw
better in this country. It is nearlv
three feet high although cut above
the ground. Judging the Judge by
this clover, we would say, to his other
accomplishments, he adds that of be- ,
,n J an amateur farmer of no mean
pretensions. |
BOWDOX AND ROW DON IANS.
All quiet along the lines this week.
Business of a legal kind seems most
thriving. ‘Uncle Simeon’ is almost
daily called upon to ‘officially’ remind
the forgetful, that there is ‘a|tiine for
all things' and that this, though a
hard time, is nevertheless considered
by creditors a good time for debtors
to obey the Scriptural injunction
which says ‘pay what thou owest.’
Cash or no trade, is every man’s
motto here, if we are to judge by
their signs but men who owe no old
debts, are seldom refused credit any
where. Want of confidence is now
affectiug every branch of trade, not
only here but almost universally, it is
the cause of the present panic, the
hard times and the depreciation of
every species of property. Let no
man make debts this year. Time waits
on no man, therefore let no man
wait on time.
The Templars continue here with
unabated zeal. They deserve much
credit for their untiring efforts in the
cause of humanity and right. In this
community. A tew young men who
have not yet signed the pledge would
do well just now to heed its teachings
rather than bring furtherJdisgi ace up
on themselves and friends.
Mr. Clayton has invented and is
using a machine the like of which was
never before seen. He proposes to at
tach machinery to a forty saw g»u
which will enable one mule to pull it
with as much ease as four does with
the common gearing.
W. L. Adamson one of Bowdon’s
most enterprising merchants is trying
his hand on the farm this year. No
doubt he will make a success of it.
He has the best cotton we have seen.
Many farmers are complaining of rust
on wheat but some ot the oldest and
wisest ot them, think the crop is not
injured.
During ‘the melancholy days’ the
people amuse themselves in hunting,
fishing and gaming. The game of
‘knucks' begun here early last spring,
is suffering a temporary suspension
during the unusual warm weather.
By invitation we spent an evening
with Judge Shelnutt at his home. He
has one ot the most pleasant places in
this vicintity. His taste is displayed not
only by his discriminating attentions
to the better looking ot the fair sex,
but also by the way in which he has
labored to make his home attractive.
Ilis fish pond is a favorite resort for
all his neighbors. When interroga
ted as to his future political aspira
tions the Judge expressed himself as
entirely willing to submit to the will
of the people. If they desire him
to become a candidate for re-election
to the legislature, we think he is will
ing to run, and his chance foi election
seems good, for his past’history is a
sufficient guarantee that afl he will
do, or attempt to do, will be with a
view of serving the best interests of
the whole people. ‘M.’
Crops iu the Eleventh District*
Editor Times. —l have been spend
ing a day or two in the Eleventh dis
trict of this county, and have to say
for the benefit of those interested,
that the prospect for a fair yield ot
wheat is first rate, and that corn and
cotton are also looking well. While
in the Eleventh, I spent some time in
looking over the magnificent farm of
Mr. James Attaway, which is hard to
beat, even in Kentucky and Tennessee
Mr. A. has about 150 acres of rich
alluvial bottom on his place, and a
good portion of it thorougly ditched
and iu ahigh state of cultivation, and
ranks as one of the best farmers iu
that part of the country. Mr. J. D.
Sewell and TANARUS). P. Power whose lands
are adjoining those of Mr. Attaway
also have their farms in fine condi
tion, and their growing crops are re
ally promising.
Four miles from towu on the farm
of Mr. Treadwell, I noticed wheat
nearly as good as that ot Mr. John
Bonner, our champion farmer; and
Uncle Tommie Steed and Mr. Har
mon, also have excellent wheat. Iu
eight or ten days niore the wheat will
do to cut, and I think from the pres
ent prospect, there will be great cause
of rejoicing at the result of the har
vest G.
Mr. Editor. —Will you be so con
siderate as to paidon the presump
ion of a stranger by yielding space
in your columns, for a short commu
nication from one whose pleasure it
was quite recently to abandon the
rural retreats of central Georgia, to
sojourn a week among the hos
pitable citizens of your village.
It was chiefly with a view of escap
ing the fangs ot ill-health which seem
ed to be preying without restraint upon
the physical corpus of your correspon
dent, that induced him to seek the
more congenial latitude of Northwest
Georgia, and though suffering through
indisposition and therefore unable to
ruminate to the extent which he
otherwise would, he will'ever cherish
through the corridors of mem try, 1
a fond recollection ot the hearty wel •
come and kind, urbane, greeting of
which he was the recipient while
among yott.
With’a population, refined, indus
trious an and moral, a climate proverbial
for longevity, and a soil that yields
bounteously to the hand of industry
and frugality, I can conceive of no
barrier that can prevent your county,
and town at no distant period, from
being peopled with a dense popula
tion. True your railway enterprise
upon which your people relied with
such'confidence for the development
ot your hidden resources is now dor
mant by reason of the many and nat
ural causes incident to the early his
tory of such institutions from almost
time immemorial, and especially is
it true with the great mass of thepeo-t
pie south pf Mason and Dixon’s line,
who alter passing the fiery ordeal of
war, were deprived of three fourths
of their possessions, by the arbitrary
mandate of a triumphant conqueror,
hence it is, they were forced to suc
cumb to a fiuancial depression, the
magnitude of which the world's hiss
tory .affords no parallel. Notwiths
standing this feasible cause of disap
pointment to your citizens, there is a
Divinity which shapes tneir ends, and
there is abundant reason for the be
lief that at an earlier day, than the Rip
Van Winkles ot today imagine that the
ever increasing tide ot population and
the demands aud necessities of the
agricultural and commercial world
created thereby, will demand the
prompt construction ot other Hues of
Railroad, already contemplated and
projected, to intersect iu your town,
which when completed will cause
Carrollton to arise Phoenix like from
her Liliputian proportions and assume
an importance not now imagin
ed.
The wheat crop in this section of
the State is now harvesting aud the
yield of this cereal, will it is thought,
fall at least one third short in conse
quence ot an unfavorable season, and
the early appearance of rust. Corn
and cotton are“growing luxuriantly
and the weedjappears healthy, though
too far lrom maturity to speculate as
to the result.
The gubernatorial question, figura
tively speaking, is becoming as heated
as the tires of Mt. Versuvius—a half
dozen patriots are willing to be gov
ernor, and each advocating his pecu*-
liar claims upon the ‘dear people*
with a degree of pertinacity and des
peration that is tfttly alarming. They
have taken the field personally and
their anthems of egotism aud self adu
lations can be heard upon every pass
ing breeze. Surely the converse of
the proverb ‘The office should seek
the man’ has come into practical oper
ation. Notably among the candidates
are Thos. Hardeman and Alfred 11.
Colquitt, with the odds decidedly in
favor of the latter—each basing his
claim upon supposed eminent services
to the party and relying no little up
on their military prestige. The
strength of both aspirants lies princi
pally in the great cotton belt of the
State and they doubtless have the lar
gest following of an) of the ‘Rich -
monds’ in the field, but it is highly
probably that the mantle of official
dignity will be confered upon some
one by the general convention after
these two rivals have exhausted them
selves. So mote it be. Regulus.

Special Notices.
The Evil Fruit** of Weak Digestion.
There is no pathological fate more clearly
ascertained than that the most formidable
phases of nervous disease are directly trace
able to imperfect digestion. Insomnia, with
Us train of direful consequences, proceeds
more frequently from weakness of the stom
ach than from any other cause. Mere seda
tives are powerless to cure nervousness, and
soon cease to palliate it* symptoms* The
true way to strengthen the nervous system
is to invigorate the digestive and assimila
tive organs, upon whose unobstructed ttetion
its equilibrium is absolutely dependent. The
daily use of Ilostetter’s Stomach Bttters will
do more to brace and sooth the weakened
and irritated nerves, and induce sound, re
freshing sleep, nature’s grand catholicou—
than all the so-called nervines to be found in
the pharmacopoeia or out of it. A wineglass
ful of the Bitters should be taken before
each meal.
To Consumptive*.
The advertiser, having been permanently
cured of that dread disease’ jConsurnption,
by a simple remedy, is anxious to make
known to his fellow sufferers, the means
of cure. To all who desire it, he will send
a copy of the prescription used, (free of
charge), with the directions for preparing
and using the same, which they will find
a -urecure for Consumption, Asthma, Bron
chitis, etc.

Error* of Youth.
A Gentleman who suffered for years from
Nervous Debility, Premature Decay, and ail
the effects of youthful indiscretion will, for
the use of suffering humanity, send free to
all who need it, the reeipe.and direction for
making the simple remedy by which lie
was cured. Sufferers wishing to profit bv
the adviser’s experience, can do so by ad
dressing in perfect confidence.
