Good Templars’ Barbecue at the
White Sulphur Springs.
[The following was unavoidably
crowded out last week.]
Leaving here early on the morning
of the 25th nit., in company with
several ladies and gentlemen from
Columbus and Hamilton, we arrived
at the Springs but little tired from
our rough ride.
Duiing the trip we sang, told an
ecdotes, tried to be witty, and other
wise amused ourselves; now and
then, as we passed through the moun
tains, stopping at some crystal spring
that gushed from the mountain’s side,
or bounded over some rugged rocks,
to refresh ourselves.
Passing over the mountain to the
northern side, we came on an orchard
laden with golden fruit, whose sunny
sides seemed to tempt us to eat.
The old habit, contracted during the
war, of leaping hedges and fences, at
once came on us, and we were soon
loading our chapeau for the benefit
of the company. Returning with
plenty for all, our face was suffused
with innocent blushes from the many
compliments we received. One said
we were a jewel, another, a treasure,
and another, who thought to be more
gallant than the rest, said, “ His ur
banity is only exceeded by his hand
some face.” How many Washing
tons there were in the crowd we
leave our readers to answer.
Arriving at the Springs, we were
surprised to find nearly a thousand
people on the grounds; among them,
some eighteen or twenty from the
Warm Springs.
Many having gathered around the
speakers’ stand, a welcome was read
by Miss J uli’a Bray, in a clear and
distinct Voice. The audience testified
their appreciation of the composition
by loud and prolonged applause.
Mr. Peter Martin then took the
stand, and addressed the audience at
some length on the subject of tem
perance. He left nothing rmsaid that
could have been said in its favor.
Mr. Glenn, of Columbus, being
called on, made a brief, but beautiful
speech—remarking,, that his prede
cessor had left nothing for him to
say; therefore he would make his
remarks as short as possible. r
Hon. Henry R. Harris was then
called upon, who delivered a short
speech in his usual eloquent and ac
complished style. After closing, he
was again forced to the stand. His
remarks we did not bear, as we had
withdrawn to some distance in the
crowd.
Dinner being very soon announced,
all crowded around the festal board,
on which the farmers for miles around
seemed to have emptied their cornu
copias and slain the “ fatted calf.”
Loitering about the grounds, we
found ourself in the hall, where prep
arations were being made for a dance.
As quickly as might be, partners were
on the floor, “tripping the light, fan
tastic,” to the merry notes of Shipp’s
band. The afternoon being very
warm, the dancing did not last long.
From handbills circulating over the
grounds we learned that the Grand
Provincial Minstrel Troupe, assisted
by Prof; Churchill and Miss Rosa
Carncross, would give an entertain
ment at the hall for the benefit of the
Hamilton Female College. From
Which, we learn, they realized $31.15,
but had to pay out over S2B for ex
penses.
Leaving the Springs about 11:30
p. m., we reached home about 3:30 a.
m.—tired, sleepy, dusty, and fully
satisfied with excursions over rough
country roads.
■ hi
ty* The Stevens Debating Society
meets every Thursday night at eight
o'cltfck;
Subject for next debate: Is a man
lustified in obeying a law which he
mows to be morally wrong?
Affirmative— Johnson, Mobley and
Cook.
Negative— Doggett, Ragland aid
Uurpfiey.
Local Dots.
We learn there will be another
concert and tableaux at the College
soon. Admittance free.
We had good showers Monday and
Tuesday. It did not come any too
soon, as the farmers were beginning
to complain.
Those who cannot rest well at
night, should take a ride over the
mountain.
Farmers are now busy pulling fod
der. The quality is good, and yield
very large.
Curtis Beall, colored, has 175 pu
pils in his public school here. He
has them well disciplined, and de
serves credit for their rapid advance
ment.
There will be public speaking at
Cataula Grange on the 18th.
There is one candidate to be nomi
nated from above the mountain, and
there are eleven aspirants!
Candidates are so amiable, that we
think it would boa great improve
ment if everybody would run for
some office.
A few days since, the literary de
partment ot a lady’s dress caught on
fire from a spark, while on the out
ward bound train of the North and
South road.
There is a young lady belonging
to Hamilton Grange who don’t know
peas and okra from cotton.
Two freedmen broke out of the
jail here on the night of the 10th.
We think the Commissioners should
look to its condition. Harris county
is out of debt, and able to build a
new jail. The present is a wooden
one, and was built at a time when
the county was unable to do better.
Miss Rosa Carncross opened her
dancing-school last Monday evening.
She will give a soiree every Friday
evening, commencing this evening.
Personal Briefs, —Mr. G. L. Mc-
Gough, Mrs. W. B. Wise, and Mr.
E. L. W T ells and lady, have gone to
the Warm Springs.
Col. Jas. M. Mobley, daughter and
son, and Miss Willie Webster, have
gone to Stone Mountain.
We return thanks to Mr, J. A. Mc-
Curry for his kind hospitality when
we called at his home on the 10th.
Miss Emma Bedell having received
her commission, has taken charge of
the post-office, and removed it to the
hotel. Mr. Joel T. Johnson has al
ways given entire satisfaction, and
we venture to hope his successor may
do the same.
Col. J. M. Mobley.-— At the Dem
ocratic meeting held here last week,
a resolution w'as passed requesting
the delegates to the Congressional
convention to present the name of
Col. Mobley as a candidate for Con
gress. We learn that although this
action was unexpected, yet Col. M.
does not feel at liberty to withhold
his name.
Col. Mobley lias served four years
in the Legislature, and would doubt
less make a good Congressman.
Mi ■
Corrections.— ln our notice of
the committee appointed to draft
resolutions for the Democratic meet
ing last week, the name of S. M.
Brannon, of Ellerslie district, was in
advertently omitted.
There were seven delegates ap
pointed to the senatorial nominating
convention, instead of six, as published
—Hines Dozier being tbe seventh.
Desperate Fight. —A correspond
ent of the Atlanta Herald, writing
from Banks county, mentions a des
perate fight between'a dog and a rat
tlesnake, in which both were killed.
The snake was a very large one, and
was almost torn to pieces by the dog.
The latter was bitten several times.
In the telegrams of the Co
lumbus Enquirer, the other day, we
noticed that “ a plumber seeking a
gas leak ” had exploded. It was not
stated what caused the poor fellow
to explode. It was certainly a most
remarkable explosion.
f-lF” Our only possession in the
swine line was a tame pig, and that
has been “ gobbled up ” by some bi
ped who had rather steal than work
for a living.
•*“-•**
A Change. —lt is stated that Judge
Johnson will soon retire from the
bench of tins circuit, and that J udge
Crawford will succeed him.
A Large Cucumber. —Mrs. T. 11.
Kimbrough, of this county, has sent
Us a cucumber measuring twenty-one
inches in length.
Mr. J. B. Davis says he has
a tomato vine nine feet in length.
This beats the one mentioned in last
week’s paper.
The last few days have been
oppressively sultry. Last Wednesday
night was very warm.
Three original communications
will be found on our first page.
Unequal Taxation.—The Athens
Watchman mentions the case of a
poor widow, who was lately taxed on
her little stock of household and
kitchen furniture—not exceeding sls
in value. And the same Legislature
which made this poor widow’s little
all taxable, as well as printing-offices,
exempts from taxation the money of
captalists invested in manufacturing.
Nearly one-third of the wealth in
Georgia is exempt from taxation.
Give us just laws, or give us none.
Don’t build up the rich at the ex
pense of the poor, but tax all accord
ing to what thej* are worth. Let
the next Legislature see what they
can do for us in this matter.
Seven years ago a lady in
Chicago, in attempting to alight
from a street car, was so injured as
to lose her speech and become para
lyzed in one side. On the seventh
anniversary of the accident the
thought came to her that if she
would pray she could get help. She
retired to an adjoining room, and as
she began to repeat the Lord’s prayer,
she found her jaws opened, tongue
loosed, and was audibly saying the
prayer. Frightened at the sound of
her own voice, she arose and crossed
the room hurriedly, forgetting her
crutch and cane; but this she soon
found she ha<f no use for, as she
could walk as well as ever.
A Mean Man.— A man In the
North is disgusted at the resemblance
of the new issues of the ten and
twenty-five cent scrip. He says he
bought 20c. worth of something and
gave $1 in payment. He got in
change a ten and twenty-five cent
scrip and a nickle, and thinking he
had got two fifty cent scrips and a
nickle, he hurried off before the
storekeeper should find it out. Dis
covering his mistake, he went back
for the other forty cents, but the
storekeeper would not give it to him,
saying he should have looked at his
change before he left the store.
Don’t talk about Jews after that.
Some Milwaukee doctors re
moved a woman's eye the other day.
“After the removal of the eye, there
was found a p ; ece of bone, the size of
art ordinary vest button, imbedded in
the eye upon the retina next to the
brain. The patient was immediately
relieved from all pain, and is now
doing well.”
Goon.— The Centreville (Gn.)
Grange has passed a resolution that
if the civil rights bill becomes a law,
the members thereof will not purchase
any goods from any State, a majority
of whose citizens shall have voted
for the bill.
A good example. Who will fol
low it?
~ —<i • it—
-155" The grasshoppers have en
tirely destroyed the corn crop of
western Kansas and Nebraska. It is
doubtful if a thousand bushels can be
saved from those States. Hundreds
of settlers are selling out and remov
ing. The insects are swarming.
155" Mr. Whitlow, of Franklin
county, while hoeing cotton lately,
dug up an English silver dollar, bear
ing tbe date of 1720. Although 154
years old, it is as bright as if coined
four or five years ago. .
About $6,000,000 worth of
sugar was lost by the flood in Louisi
ana. It is estimated that 5,031,940
pounds of rice were also lost, which,
valued at o£c., aggregates $311,996.

The Georgi Pianofortes have taken the First Piemiurii over
at the State Fair of West Virginia, in Kentucky,,apd at all other
fairs and expositions where they have been Exhibited.
Their durable build and refined expression of tono causes thorp to ,be the favprite instru
ment in seminaries of learning.
From Rev L Van Bokkolen, Rector of Jane Grey Seminary, Mt. Morris, N. Y.— ‘ I have
pianos of other celebrated makers in the seminary ; but the Georgi was selected and used at
the concert ng-the best. ..It ja preferred by teachers and pupils.’
From Rev Wm F Mornsoh. rectorof gt Luke’s Church, Buffalo. JST Y—‘On leaving lows
I was reluctantly obliged* to part With my Georgi Piano. When I settled in Buffato ope of
my first cares was to provide my family .with one of the same manufacture. It fully sustains
the high reputation the Georgi instruments have in all parts of the country.’
Mr John Zundel, organist of Henry Ward Beecher’s chufch, Brooklyn, says—‘The Georgi
has an exquisite action, and everything about it shows thorough workmanship and durability.*
Rev S H McCollester, President of Buchtel College, using two
of your pianos the past year in our college. They have given great satisfaction. We .regard!
them as superior instruments.’ • *> •*
From the New York Independent— 1 As they were highly recommended to US, ws bought
