This little edifice which is quite close
to Thomson, now lias regular appoint
ments and preaching once a month. It
nine has a very flourishing Sabbath
School, which, under the excellent super
iutendance of Mr. Kelley, is, we think,
destined to accomplish much good.

We learn tliat Win. Payee, a negro
murderer who esoaped from custody in
Columbia ajuuty •‘•owe .time since, Ims
been captured in Edgefield District, b.
C. As the proof ngnifist him was of the
most positive character, it will bo safe to
predict two hangings for Columbia coun
ty this year.
Universal ism.
Rev. D. B. Clayton, of Columbia, S.
C-, will preach in Thomson bn Saturday
night before the third Sunday, and again
on th. third Sunday r ’f this nl/nth.
Dr. Clayton i* considered ouo of the
finest pulpit orators in tie.- South, aud as
a learned aud aide expo,.out of the doc
trine of Unirersaiiam, liia address will
doubtless be listened to with groat inter
est.
I .ate.
A number of our chu cT going people
arrived at the Baptist church, on last
Sabbath evening, in time to hear the
benediction, while quite a number of
others, were met on their way to church
t>y those returning.
We would suggest that as the even
ings are now vory short, an earlier start
would be advisable.

Visitors.
Juat as we were almost reaily to go to
press ws were surprised by a bevy of
of-well, of the moat beautiful uml accom
plished young lailies in McDuffie county.
Though they captured thy office and
its contents, they made no attempt to
take advantage of their victory but con
tested themselves with an inspection of
oar office and nnsenm.
We boptf that they will repent the visit
when we are in a better condition to re
ceive company. *■
Powder.
The juvenile colored troops in the
vicinity of Union church, in this county,
have recently been making some scien
tific experiments with gun powder. The
plan adopted was to charge a piece of
old polkherry weed with powder and
fire it with lint cotton. The first experi
ment was such a decided success an to
blow nearly all the wool off the head
at the seieutific sable philosopher.
Since then powder has been at a dis
count.
BUC Ball,
M f. R, W. Lumpkin of Columbia
county, visited Thomson last week in
behalf of his interests in this place. He
reports ewry tbiDg ‘'booming” in Co
lombia, he is also of the opinion that
the Colquitt Base Ball club is in every
way willing to meet any of tbeir profes
sional neighbors op half way ground for
m maloti game. Of course the challenge
applys only to amateur clubs. What
SSJ# McDuffie?
Dr. Holland.
The irrepressible is again in town and
will remain until the first of June. Dr.
HvUand as asual, brings with him a fill)
grown dental menagerie and is prepared
for any, every and all classes of custom
era.
In addition to bis many improvements
be baa at last sneoeeded in getting up a
first ct—a metal plate —his own invention
for artificial teetb. This plate, while
its strength, beauty anil cheapness re
eomianpd if ®* f at superior to rubber or
eeUniwd, sad in point of absolute clean
lioaaa, superior to gold, ami needs but a
trial to i&ure perfect satisfaction.
Sickness.
We regret to learn that Mrs. Dr. Wm.
M. Pitts, of oo town, has been -danger-,
gerously ill for several days. Her con
dition at present ia hopeful and convales
cing.
Knights Ot Temperance.
This order of independant temperance
reformers is rapidly increasing in num
bers and influence. Although not more
than six weeks old, they number nearly
fifty members. It iB the only one of its
kind in the tate. We hope it will con
tinue to flourish and be the means of
accomplishing much good.
.Mad Dogs.
We regret to learn that our neighbors
in Columbia oonnty, are suffering fn m
a terrible scourge, in the shape of mad
dogs We have not, as yet, heard of
i any person having been bitten by them,
1 but the fact that quite a number have
been killed and others are know n to be at
large, reudere it unsafe to travel in some
| localities. We recommeud a plentiful
distribution of lead among the canine
• population of the infected district.
A Present.
We are under obligations to Mr. L.
D. Walton and Mr. Thomas Cannon, of
Waltons Island, for a fine full grown
■ wild cat. It is one of the largest that
j ever visited Thomson and since we have
! had it in charge, wo are at a loss to know
how a well regulated family can get along
without a wild eat. The animal has a
fine set af natural teeth, upon which we
have had seventy-five dollars worth of
work done, and shall now have him put
in trainiug to receive delinquent subscri
bers of the Jocksal.
The Festival,
The strawberry festival given at the
Masonic hall on Friday night was just
what Thomson festivals always turn out
to bo—a perfect suocess. The only fault
that possibly could have been found was
that there was too many good things
tnixod together to pay proper attention
to all. The evening was one long to be
remembered and the Knights of Temper
ance promiso that wo shall have more
nights of temperance in Thomson here
after.
Personals.

Religious.
Rev. W. J. Alexander, of Anderson,
S. C., preached at the Baptist church in
this place, on Wednesday night last, anil
was followed on Thursday night by Rev.
VV. L. Kilpatrick, of Hepzibali
We have not space to give oven an
outline of either sermon, but we are glml
to state that both were excellent, espe
cially that of Mr. Kilpatrick’s, which for
simplicity, power and originality was
pronounced one of the very best ever
preached in this place.
Yemassee.
The Yemassee fishir g expedition was
a decided success. Notwithstanding the
fact that the snake doctor lost his arma
ment, aud little pole was made a Bap
tist, by being baptised in the Combahee,
with Prof, riam Izzard, officiating as
clergyman, still the quantity of fish
caught was really astonishing. They con
sisted of mud fish, rock fish and alliga- j
tors, which attests the wonderful skill of i
the piscAtoi ial expedition. The bait j
toters “kivered” themselves with glory, j
aud succeeded in eating more fish than
all the rest of the expedition. They
brought back about seventy-five pounds
of fish, besides the quantity consumed
during the trip.
1 minty Court.
Considerable business was disposed of
by the County Court, last, week, in the
criminal line.
Robert Paschal prosecuted Jinks Wil
son for burglary. Ihe Prisoner was
represented by H. C. Roney and the
Prosecutor by Watson A Johnson. The
investigation, beard bet ore Jndge Neal,
resulted in the commitment of the De
fendant.
Amanda Neal was arraigned for steal
ing ; pled guilty, aud was sentenced to
twelve months hard labor in the ebaiu
gang.
Two or three vagrants have been dis
ciplined and there’s still another in jail,
Caroline and Jim Baldwin were jailed
for obtaining goods andeT false pre
tenses ; bnt when tt> eases were called
for trial the warrants were dismissed at
the instance and cost of the Prosecutor.
H. C. Roney for the State ; Watson and
Johnson for the defeuse.
There was a rich case before the Coun
ty Coart last Saturday. On the Friday
before, out at ons of Howard’s places, a
negro woman named Elizabeth Hamilton
had a fgrs with her employee, Miles
Gunter. She therefore prepared to quit
living with Miles aud got a wigon to
come after her things Jtliles appeared
upon tho scene before they finished load
ing the wagon and said that Miss Ham.
ilton shoudn’t carry off any more of the
plunder until she had paid a sum he
claimed to be due. Immediately they
began to argue the matter with much
warmth, and finally got into a real affec
tionate senffle. Miles jerked a bonnet
from the head of Elizabeth, grabbed her
waterbucket, punched her itt the Bide,
shoved her backward and forward in a
manner that didn't add to her graceful
ness or his dignity, squeezed her wind
pipe, and took various other little liber
ties with her dainty person, that were
nit agreeable to bar feelings or promo
tive of her personal comfort.
Of course they went to law about it.
Elizabeth entered the Court-house and
suid she wanted somebody to "stand for
her.” Watsou A Johnson stood f-r her.
Col. Tutt stood for Miles.
A Possessory Warrant sworn out by
Elizabeth brought in a bonnet a water
bucket, gome meat, some meal, but
failed to briag in a box of clothing.
An investigation led to tbs woman
getting tlie bonnet and bucket, the
man’s getting the meat, and costs being
entered up against Miles.

Our Streets.
We are glad to see onr present town
council displaying so much energy aud
enterprise in the effort to improve the
streets of our town. Nothing more
surely indicates the intelligence aud re
finement of a people than the condition
of their public highways. Much labor
and money have.been expended in plac
ing them in thorough repair and we can
safely say that Thomson possesses as
good streets as any town of its size iu
Georgia.
Mo Hell-lire.
The following is a sermon reoently
delivered by Rev. 3tepheu Goosby, a
colored preacher, who says that the great
mistake of his life is in not preaching
hell-fire enough :
My Belubbed Bredren:
D© text, dat you’ll find in de fifth chap
ter ob J udeacact is is dis:
“When dey heah sich things dey git
skeered an’ howl.”
Dis, my bredren, is do lauguage ob de
tex an’ it will throw mo lite on de script
ures dan a double-barreled dictionary.
You all know how it is wid de script
ures. You can’t git uuthen outen eui
unless you read one aide at a time. Den
when yon read de odder side, you can
take de side dat suits you best, cause
you’s got no use for de oder.
Ligion is like stealeu chickens. Dey
all seem to roost mighty high at fust,
but byo-me-bye you git used to it aud it
all comes r mud as antral as pig tr&oks.
De reason you cau’t uuderstan' de
Scriptures is caifse dey sometimes oorea
peu* wid your ligion. Ligion makes
Rich a chauge in some niggers dat after
dey gits in dey wants to take a
homestead oil dere ligion to perteet dere
karncters. Dey keep up dere ole tricks,
but dey’a mo keerful not to git ketohed
ut cm. So you see, my bredren, dat you
can’t uuderstan’ deae things widout lifce,
and you cuu’t git lite widout fire. Now
right heah is de pint, my bredren, cause
deres no tire will answer for dis lite ’cept
hell-tire. We preachers don’t preach
hell-tire ouuiT. Wild-fire wtfi’t do, fox
fire won’t do, and Acre's no virtu’ in per
coou root. You's got ter hah sho miff
hell- tire*, cause when and y hcahs dat dey
git skeered aud howl.
Deres nufchin wise will keep your ligiou
hot enuff. Dis wcgatable lite won’t do
it, an’ when ligion gits cool once taint, uo
count. Dese new litos an’ edicated
pre nchers is what flings sich fusion into
our dockin'. Dese edicated preachers
shouldn’t ax no questions cause wliai
we tell ’em is good enuff if it taint so.
All wo want is lor ’em to leal) things
as doy is, an’ to leab us holl-firo an’ de
deblu to sheer sinners wid, au’ we’ll
make ’em howl. From de time Ebo fust
stole knowledge apples up to do time
Canon Farrar stole dc debles brim
stone, day’s bin tryen to git hell outen
dere ligion, but thank de L rd. dey can’t
do it. A sinner has got to quit thiuken
befo’ you oan make him stop his cantan
kerous ways, an’ you can’t do him no
good widout giben him de strongest
medicine in de chist. Hell-fire is de only
tiling dat w ill reach him, but when you
git after him wid dat lie’ll git skeered
an’ howl sure. Bless do Lord data do
lite dat re wives us. Git a sure enuff
deble to sheer him wid, an’ den show
him de hole ob repentance to crawl into
an’ he’ll come into do church sure. No
matter how big a rascal ho is, lio’li tell a
lie and come in fo lie’ll let you keep him
out after he tieahb ’bout hell-tire.
Bredren, your salvation an’ de minis
ters bred and butter ’|>eiicl on
cause if you Nka it away do preachers
demselvos would be compelled to work
for a liven.
Now den in my conclusionary remarks
I waut to tell you dat dore is sich an ole

Ah AHtotiihliiui; Fact.
A large proportion of tho American peo
ple are to-day dying from the effects of
Dyspepsia *r disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of intelli
gent and valuable people is most alum ing,
making life actually a burden instead of a
pleasant existence of enjoyment and useful
noss as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of
Druggists and yonr friends, and try one
bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles
of this medicine have been given away to
try its viFues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You. can buy a sample bottle
for 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve
the worst case. Positively sold by all Drug

Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an East
India Missionary the formula of a simple
vegetable remedy, for the speedy and per
manent cure of consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh, asthma and all throat and lung
affections, also a positive and radical, cure
for nervous debility and all nervous com
plaints. After haring tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive
and a desire to relieve human suffering, I
will send, free of charge, to all who desire
it, this recipe in German, French or En
glish, with full directions for preparing and
using. Sent by mail by addressing with

How Watches arc Made.
It will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a Solid Golji \ v atch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, the large proportion of the
precious metal used, is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply tho necessary solidity and
strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless, so far ns utility and beauty are
concerned, In IA MEM* BOBS’ PATENT
STIFFENED GOLD WATCH CASES, this
waste of precious metal is overcome, and
the same solidity and strength produced nt
from ono-third to one-half of the usual cost
of solid eases This process is of tho most
simple nature, ns follows : A plate of com
position metal, specially adapted to the
purpose, has two plates of solid gold soldered
on each side. Tlie three are then pnssed 4
between polished steel rollers, and the result*
is a strip of heavily plated composition,
from which the cases, hacks, centres, bezels,
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds ef
chasing, engraving and enamelling; aud
engraved cases havo been carried until worn
perfectly smooth by time and use without
removing the gold. These cases are for
sale by all jewelers, and are guaranteed
