|ictos anil Jarincr. rLOCALT * AUGUST 26, 1875. Attention is directed to the adver tisement of L. J. Guilmartiu & Cos. in this issue. This is one of the best and Sst reliable Commission Houses in ,’annah. Give them a trial. Fredericksburg Store. —Messrs, V. Richards & Bro., have received their new fall goods and are otfering them at (remarkable low prices. This is one of the most reliable firms in the State.— ■Read their advertisement in tkisMssue, —AVe were sorry to sec, in riding out into the country the other day, that rust is making inroads upon the cotton yields. Disaster follows disaster in Kuick succession. Planters be not dis noouraged. Much depends on the les gjgns you are learning. Learn them Cotton Picking.—l,ooo pounds of cotton was picked in a patch th.at be longtss to Mr. J. H. Wilkins, one day this week. A woamn picked as much A&HiO ponds, The bolls are not Kwn but the dry weather retarded growth aud they are bursting open. Young cotton is all that can make any thing like a crop in this count}'. Sample of Corn.— -Mr. Gregory brought into our office the other day an ear of com that to all appearance was wfcil filled, but when we tore the shuck off we found a cob with a very few grains on it. He said it was a fair ■fmple qf the field from which it was faken, The stalk* are large but the pars are wanting in grain. y Sad,— AVe regret to learn of the se- Pvere illness of Mrs. Julia Daniel of Washiugton county. She is a daughter Of Mr, Wm. Alexander of this county ; an estimable lady, aud has many warm friends here, who feel a deep solicitude Tor her, and whose prayers will con stantly go up to the great physician, pleading for her restoration to health, but who are nevertheless ready to say '“thy will be done, Oh God,” i i ■' Savannah Cheap Store. —lt will he seen by a glance over our adverti sing columns that there will be a grand opening of the Savannah cheap Store, r in Louisville, on the 4th pf September. 'Messrs. M, Zacharias & Cos., the pro prietors, seem to understand their busi ness. They are now receiving new goods everyday and .several clerks are kept bpsy unpacking, marking and ar ranging goods, They propose to sell at Savannah prices. Read their adver tisement and be sure and give them * a call on next Saturday week. . From Egypt. —Dr. Powell is in re ceipt of a beautiful pressed boquet, sent v #3 a mark <jf esteem and grateful re membrance of ills estimable, but xovr wife ; from Miss M. E. Gallo- who is a missionary in Egypt, from the Presbyterian Board of Mis sions. This as a token of appreciation for a do jiation sent by Mrs Powell, when Miss G ■farted olf last year to this far off coun try. It consists of Geranium leaves ijed some exotic flowers, and avuals. H We have read some of 'Miss Gallo way’s letters to the Presbyterian and they are full of information and earnest piety, and makes plain the fact that she }S self-sacrificing in her efforts to dis seminate religion. Kind and Thoughtful. —Mr. fm. .Brinson has sent us a nice, large melon, came when we were not looking for it, and to walk into one’s sanctum and such a treat, from such a man, at such a time, made U3 feel not like a star, but steadfast in the belief that— Its a good thing to be an editor And with the ed’s to stand, W ith our pockets full of peaches • And a slice of melon in each hand. Col. Hicksian. —There are few men .who would have made the impression * r among the people here that Col. Hick man did, Commanding in appearance, with the step of a man that possesses a JVontidence in himself, derived from strength of mind and strength of pur pose, *and independence of thought; alike alien to ostentation and the grov eling appetite for flattery He has a fine face, snch a one as is rare, and is in splendid harmony with /Jais genial disposition, and his bright earnest eye. But one look at him and you are convinced that you have met a tian of power and influence and pathos f feeling—prepossessing in appearance to a high degree, and in his manners easy, pleasing and persuasive, But his eloquence overpowers you, and you are chained by the fetters of involuntary admiration. You soon find yourself unconsciously listening, with breathless earnestness, to his softest sylables which are like a lullaby or the rustling of a silken sail; or snatching at his thun , der tones that die away like the threats pf a retreating lion, He is wrapped up in his work and has done an amount of good in his short visit among us. In Louisvill 33 were initiated into the order, 22 at Eb enezer, 10 at Stellaville, 23 at Iludsq knia and 22 at Davisboro; making in all over 100 who were received into the order of I. O- of G. T’s., in less than a W<fek in our midst. \ He is gone, we parted with him re luctantly, feeling much the better for having met a man of his striking char acteristics, _ SPECIAL NOTICE! i We are requested by Mr. Parker and Mr. G. W. Quinny, to’state that should he, Mr, Parker be elected to the office of Sheriff, he did not intend, and will not, appoint Mr. Quinny as his Deputy. All such reports are without foundation and are circulated for the purpose qf lessen ing Mr. Parker’s chances, He is run ning on his own merits and should he be elected, he will give his entire time .and attention to the office. [communicated.] Messrs. Editors: —As was adver tised in your paper some time since, the great temperance champion, and R. W. G. T. of the World, Col. J. J. Hick man, made his visit to Ebenezer Lodge, I. O. G. T’s., on Friday the 20th of August. As he had met with such thrilling success in Louisville, causing so many to subscribe their names to a temperance pledge, those of us who al ready wore a templar's badge were look ing forward to the time of his arrival with anxious eyes, hoping that here too, as there, his fascinating looks and burn ing eloquence would induce some of Eb enezer’s sons to enlist in the temper ance cause, and henceforward let their efforts be to drive intemperance from the land. Our hopes were realized- When the hour for speaking arrived, the members of Ebenezer Lodge, ac companied by not a few from the neigh boring Lodges, repaired from the lodge room to the church in regular file. AVe had no brass band, as Battle Oak Lodge, to grace the occasion with its thrilling notes, yet our numbers were encourag ing and we felt that a brass band was not necessary to lead the Friends of Temperance on to victory. The church, which is capable of ac commodating a very large audience, was tolerably well filled. The speaker was introduced to the audience by the Rev, D, G. Phillips, D. D., and at once commenced to plead his cause in his own eloquent style. lie told the audi ence at the outset that his story was an old one, familiar to all, but iike the “story of the Cross.” would bear repe tition. He repeated it. and judging from the number of men, and women too, that joined the order that evening he repeated it in such a manner as they had never heard before. _ He stood for about three quarters of an hour, the very emblem of truth and temperance, pleading his cause in his own earnest and convincing manner, answering the very arguments which suited the place, the occasion, and the audience. He closed by inviting all who felt so disposed to give their names, and enlist under the silken banner of Faith, Hope and Charity, A commit tee was appointed for the purpose of procuring names, and after a few mo ments the members returned to the lodge-room, gratified to know that twen ty-two names were added to the Ebene zer Lodge and ten or twelve to Steila ville Lodge, These were initiated into the order by Col. Hickman, and the Lodge adjourned. Feeling assured that the cause of Temperance is advancing, and that we may yet look forward to the time “when everything that can intoxicate may' be driven from oijr midst, and the clouds that have so long darkened our skies may be scattered by the golden beams of Truth and Temperance,” AVe say for the present, adieu, A Good Templar.

CORRESPONDENCE, The following correspondence is the outgrowth of the presentation of a beau tiful cake by the ladies of Battle Oak Lodge to Col. J. J. Hickman. Col. J. J. lliciiman, Right Worthy Grand Templar of the World. Sir: The ladies of Battle Oak Lodge, I. O. G. T’s., No. 255, as a slight token of the esteem in which they regard your efforts in the Temperance cause, in their midst, and as an appre ciation of your high worth, and earnest, unremitting labor for the weal of the country, and the welfare of its people everywhere, they herewith tender you this cake through myself, their humble representative and spokesman, with the wish that wherever you may be, under whatever sky, or nationality, that the blessings of a useful life, and a grateful people, may follow you, and throw around you their shield of protective love, and overshadow you with the ban ner of uninterrupted peace. Respectfully, It. J. Boyd. R. J. Boyd, Esq,, Dear Sir and Bro : I accept with pleasure, the gift so kindly tendered by the ladies of the Lodge, through you, with assurances that I not only appreciate the gift, but the generous sentiments of esteem expressed in the note accompanying it. I will at once send it to that one —-who has been the joy and sunshine of my life for more than sixteen years, and although now lonely in her Atlanta home, on account qf my absence, she is willing to bear the loneliness, if my pres ence in your midst will cause the sun of happiness to reflect its splendors around the home of the poor inebriate. Through you I extend my thanks to the ladies and express the wish that flow ers of beauty and fragrance will ever bloom along their pathway, as they go on their missions of love, and when done with life, and its cares, may they enter into the rest above, where angels will crown them with wreaths of im mortal bloom. Fraternally, Yours J. J. llickman. The Calitiiumpians —Were out the other dight and they called on theyoung couple, that is they stopped out on the wet sidewalk, under a tearful sky, and they made the old welkin that we hear so much about, ring. We venture the opinion that it has rung about as much as any other one tiling that we don’t know anything about. But gentle, reader, think not that this was the finale, and that young loves dream was haunt ed by none other than these hideous sounds. The crowning glory and the moonlit sequel to this eventful summer night’s serenade, was music from the Brass Band—rare music that come to us lullingly through the distance and wqoed us to soft slumber and swoet dreams of the morrow- The music was not intended for us but we enjoyed it nevertheless. President AVhidby has issued the following appeal: To the Sunday Schools of Georgia: I respectfully' but earnestly urge the evangelical Sunday Schools of Georgia, te unite in a general concert of prayer for the conversion of the Sunday School children of the State, and an increase of the power of the Sunday School for good, on Sunday and Monday, October 17th and 18th, at such hours as may' be most convenient. The Sunday Schools of Europe have selected the same dates. Then let the Sunday Schools of the world meet on those day's in prayer to Almighty God for the conversion of the Sunday School children of the world. AV. G. AAYiidby. Pres't State S. S.
