OLD RELIABLE ISSI POWDER Absolutely Pure 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. Traveler. 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 agent, Dr. J. B. George. -p-e To Push Macadam.

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.

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.
