THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
CURIOSITIES OF HALL COUNTY.
A person traveling over our home
county, from one district to another,
will see many interesting objects, some
the works of nature, and others made
by the hands of man. One of the most
striking freaks of the latter class is a
church on the road half way between
Flowery Branch and Duncan’s Mill.
This church—“ Arbor church” —is built
without roof or walls, yet has regular
rows of benches for pews, with aisles
between them, and upon a raised plat
form at the front is erected a neat pul
pit. Over all there is a kind of arbor
built, about seven feet high, and upon
this is placed heaps of brush to keep
oft* the sun and maybe rain. When
the leaves of this roof die and fall off,
green bushes and leaves again take
their place. This is certainly very
pleasant in hot and fair weather, with
such perfect ventilation on all sides and
above you. But in rainy weather —
most people stay at home, anyway—so
what’s the difference? It is econom
ical, to be sure, but isn’t that a great
advantage? And, again, in case of a
long discourse, a rain storm comes up,
there is another advantage. These kind
of churches may be a little rough for
the preachers, but for the people they
have many advantages.

On the road between Oconee Mills
and Dunagan’s gin yon pass the site of
an old homestead, which, alas, and all
outhouses thereof, have burned or rotted
down. There is nothing left in the
desolate yard but some high trees, and
a lone scuppernong vine. This vine,
growing out of a sandy soil, rises six
feet to an old trellis, and running along
some fifteen feet, jumps up
'“’V an< * climbs all over
BHHj to the top, some thirty feet.
i ngher, making in all a growth of over
fifty feet. Whether it bears any fruit
the writer does net know, as he only
saw it after a light frost had turned all
its leaves yellow, and intermingled as it
was with the green of the hickory,
looked like a huge bouquet.
***
Sugar Hill sounds very sweet, but as
a name it is a misnomer. It should
have been called “Cedar Hill,” for no
where else will you find so many or
larger cedars than near the old McNeal
home, just to the right of Sugar Hill.
Some of these fine trees must be fifty
and sixty feet high, and the same meas
ures in circumference of the lower
limbs. Among the many cedars are a
few holly trees, which with their red
berries helped to brighten the mournful
woodland.
***
Speaking of trees brings us to mention
a giant hickory that grows alongside
the road from Dunagan’s to Gainesville.
Just after you pass the level plains of
the Oconee, as you start up the hill,
half way up it stands, high and firm.
It measures about 20 feet in girth and
towers up some 150 feet by careful esti
mate. We doubt if there is another
tree in Hall county can equal or surpass
it in size or grandeur.
A stranger was riding along the road
towards Buffington's Mill when he came
to a large collection of houses. At first
lie looked around for some children, and
then for the people who lived in all
these houses. But not a sign of a living
person could be seen or heard. Every
thing was quiet and still. It was in
truth a deserted village. Why, there
was enough room and houses to accom
modate three or four hundred people.
Then it suddenly occurred that the sign
boards along the road had told so many
miles to Lebanon campground, and here
it was, alone and deserted. Dismount
ing from our horse the writer examined
the place thorougliiy. Over in one part
of the grounds were stables and sheds
for the teams of the farmers when the
meeting was on. In another part were
the sleeping sheds for the people. There
were several of these large sheds, each
divided up into 20 or 30 stalls or rooms;
in each stall was a rough plank bed,
upon which you could place leaves and
straw, or mattresses. The cooking and
eating sheds were in another part of the
grounds; and besides, were two churches
and an open assembly shed. It must be
the largest campground in this part of
the State, and to see it when in the full
lush of a successful meeting, cannot
fail of being a great sight, as well as
entertaining and instructive.

The Lying Habit.
I have been reading letters of all
kinds, but have never read many on
liars. It seems like people don’t t|iink
lying is much of a sin. I have read sev
eral letters about drunkards. Well,
it is good to write about drinking,
for it is a low-down, mean habit. I say
to the young men that drink whiskey,
let it alone. You don’t know how it
grieves your mother’s heart for you to
come home drunk, or to hear of you
being drunk, and cursing and swearing,
and maybe get killed. Sometimes a
young man is killed and whiskey is the
very cause of it. Then, how do you
suppose his dear parents feel when they
hear of this? Ah, boys, could I not per
suade you to quit drinking, and playing
cards, and all these bad habits? Just
say you will be a better boy, and quit
for the sake of your parents, if nothing
else. Boys, I know most of mothers
give you good advice; why don’t you
take it? I have a kind feeling for
young men; I was young once myself,
and don’t mean to insult you at all. I
like to see good, honest, true and sober
young men.
Drinking is not the only bad habit.
There are several crooked roads besides
the one that leads to drunkenness.
There is that awful lying road. What
can be any worse than a lying tongue?
I believe it is one of the worst tilings
on earth. The Bible says all liars shall
have their portion in the lake that
burns with fire and brimstone. People
can tell lies of all kinds and let them pass
for the truth. But God will not let
them pass at judgment. Every secret
of this world shall be read out; and yet,
there are mothers who will lie before
their children, and let them lie, and
not correct them for it. I heard of a
little boy saying once that they had a
fuss at their house, and said his mother
and sister denied it; he said it was so,
and that he was not going to tell a lie,
but if his mother knew it she would
whip him for it. Think about a woman
whipping her child for telling the truth!
I do hope that little boy will still hold
out for the truth and make a bright
man. May God look on that little boy
and keep him in the path of truth for
ever. L. W.
Many so-called “bitters” are not med
icines, but simply liquids disguised, so
as to evade the law. Prickly Ash Bit
ters is not one of this class. It is strictly
a medicine, acting primarily on tlie kid
neys, liver and bowels, and for the dan
gerous diseases that attack these organs
it is a remedy of the first grade. There
is nothing objectionable in its taste, it
has an agreeable flavor, and is accepta
ble to the most delicate stomach. Special

THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, APRIL 30, 1903.
From Dahlonega Nugget.
Dahlonega hasn’t been visited by any
ravens lately, but on last Monday Mr.
Jess Turner found a swarm of bees set
tled on the ditch bank near his house
and he made it convenient to give them
shelter, whether they were aimed for
him or not.
Last week while the Blue Ridge was
covered with snow, Mr. Robert Long
and other parties killed four rattle
snakes on the other side of the moun
tain, one of which measured more than
four feet in length. When found they
were chilled so by the sudden eold wave
that they were unable to fight.
Court held five days last week in
White county, and Solicitor-General
Charters made it hot for the boys. Out
of 27 criminal cases 23 were found
guilty, or plead guilty. The colored
campground in that county always fur
nishes plenty of business for the court.
Both whites and blacks visit the place
drunk, and do all kinds of devilment.
An effort is going to be made to have
the campground abolished.
There is more Catarrh in thia section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J, Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 to a teaspoon
ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,
F. J CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

School Building m Sight.
At last it seems probable that work
will soon be begun on Gainesville’s new
public school building. Councilman
Pierce has returned from Columbia, S.
C., wdere he went to confer with Arch
itect Wilson relative to the revised
plans for the building. He reported to
the Council at its last meeting that sat
isfactory plans will be ready by the 7th
of May. The specifications will cost
5475.
The Council has placed orders for
600,000 bricks with the local brick yards.
It is probable that instead of letting the
contract for building to a contractor the
Council will look after the construction
of the building.
Indigestiou is the direct cause of dis
ease that kills thousands of persons an
nually. Stop the trouble at the start
with a little Prickly Ash Bitters; it
strengthens the stomach and aids diges
tion. Special agent, Dr. J. B. George.
