Mr. N|ierr's S|ieech.
We had the pleasure for the first
time Saturday afternoon of hearing
Hon. Emory Speer speak. The
speech was able, eloquent and inter
esting. lie clearly manifested that
he was conversant with the affairs of
our general government to a degree
that c miiieutly fits men lor the service
as national legislators. The premises
laid down at the outset gave promise
of a faultless address, but unfortun
ately lie did not confine himself to
them, lie proposed to conduct the
campaign on the highest plane of con
tests of gentlemen with gentlemen,
and got down from his high posi.ion
before hnd gotten bait way through.
We hepe this was inadvertently done,
vve know how contaminating politics
are. This allusion ie to the charge
ol dishonoralilencss oi Mr. Bell in a
matter that concerned Mr. Bell and
Mr. Estes, and not the public .How
ever, this constituted a small portion
of what was, generally speaking, a
good speech. AVe can not here notice
further, but hope to publish the
speech in a day or two.
The audience of about three bun-
drid and fitly received the speech in
good spiiit.
A Visit to tine Postofllre.
Our courlcous and efficient Post
master entertained ns for a good space
of time Saturday, with information
ami statistics that wc believe wonld
he interesting to the people generally.
The Postoflice department does its
work as thoroughly as human affairs
arc ever conducted. It not only facil
itates communication, hut contributes
largely to the enlightcnmei t and pro
tection of the public.
Its war against frauds me saving
bm dreds of thousands of dollars an
nually lor honest people, nnd cansing
dishonest one* to cen-e their nefarious
operations. A list ot the frauds all
o' er lhe country is published and kept
ni < very office, vvlieie it can lie seen
by any one sending money. If money
is iiinili d ami a postmaster knows it,
be is not idlowed to forwnrd it to a
published Iraud,
Ninety-five postoffices have been
established in Georgia in the last sis
mont hs. This is a wholesome sign of
the progress of enlightenment. Only
nineteen offices have been discontin
ued in that space of time, in Georgia.
There are seventy-four money order
offices in the State.
No card matter other than postal
cat iIs are allowed in the mails at less
than letter jiostage.
We hope before mauy years to see
Alliens a city of such proj«ortioiis as
will give her a free delivery.
August 9, 1880.
This delightful summer resort is now
filled to its utmost] capacity. It was
so crammed at one time that for sev
eral nights the church wis converted
into a dormitory for gentlemen. There
are now about 180 guests in attend
ance, among whom I notice Mrs S E
Rucker, Mr J W Carlton, Mr R G
Taylor and Mr Joe Fleming, of your
city. Augusta is well represented by
the families of Messrs John J and Phil
Cohen, Col M P Stovall and others.
Miss Hammond, of Atlanta, Miss
McHenry, of Madison, and many oth
er charming young ladies, also lend
tlieyr attractions to the place. The
society here, though less gay than at
Catoosa and other places, is the most
select and aristocratic I have met with
at any summer resort, North or
South. The accommodations also, are
superior to those of any southern wao
tering place I have ever visited. The
bed rooms, dining rooms, bowling
alley, billiard room, ate.,‘are all fitted
up with a comfort, not to say ele
gance, that would do credit to Yan
kee enterprise. I may add, also, that
the prices are quite in keeping with
the style, and remind one as vividly
of the delights of Northern watering-
place life.
Quite a gloom was cast over onr
society here a week or two since, by
the death of Mrs. James M Smith, wife
of the <-x Governor of Georgia. . She
was a lady of lovely Christian charac
ter, and bore the sufferings of a long
and painful illness, with a meek, an'
complaining, Christian spirit that ex
cited the admiration of all who knew
her.. She was quietly interred in the
cemetery at Gainesville.
NEW HOLLAND SPRINGS.
August 9th.
The gaiety here reached its colmi
nation about ten days ago, during the
encampment ot the Athena Guards.
Since then we have been more quiet,
though much pleasant company still
remains, and the ball room is occu
pied every evening. Among the-latest
arrivals are Gen B W Heard and
wife, and Mr George Duncan, oi
Washington, Ga.
PORTER SPRINGS
There are over 100 in attendance
here, despite tbe bad weather, and
the long journey by hack, of 80 miles
from Gainesville. Athens society, so
far as I know, is represented only by
the family of Dr. Hamilton.
GAINESVILLE. -
There arc said to be nearly 400 vis
itora at the differeut hotels and board
ing houses here. The private board
ing houses arc more popular with
visitors than the hotels. The Pied
moot Hotel, near the depot, is an
elegant building, delightfully located,
and is well kept nnd diligently adver
tised, and ought to be one of the most
popular resort- in Goorgia.

The Virtues of Buttermilk.
Few people know, says a writer in
tbe Country Gentleman, the value of
buttermilk. A proper and constant
use of buttermilk will entirely cure
the constant craving for stimulants to
which many persons, from long use,
have habituated themselves. Have it
handy, and when the appetite says
whiskey or other stimulant, drink half
tumbler of buttermilk; the craving
desire will be satisfied, and the stom
ach will lie much benefited and
trengthened, instead of weakened.
There are very many good effects
from a free use of buttermilk. It alone
will often cure sour stomach, and per
manently. The lactic acid needed by
many persons is supplied by butter
milk much more largely than by any
other known food or (leverage. One
vital and important use of buttermilk
is the prevention of valvular ossifies-
tion ot tee nafves of the heart, from
which, in this country, so many per
sons die, especially old persons. There
are many otiier peculiar so-called
heart diseases which lactic acid, if
partaken of freely, prevents. The so
called flattering or palpitation of the
heart, consequent upon a disordered,
dyspeptic stomach, can be entirely
removed by a free nse of buttermilk.
There are many other unpleasant
feelings thus curod, all oi which have
their seat in the stomach—melancholy,
the bines, etc.
Drat li of Mrs. Sampson W. Harris.
The first intimation of the death of
this lady was the reception of a tele
gram by Mayor Lanier on Tuesday
morning, requesting him to have the
grave made ready for the remains.
Thev arrived oil the train at hall
lmstfour, p. m., and were met by
son-owing, sympathizing friends of
tin- family and home to the Clintta-
hooche hotel." Thence they were tak
on lo Pine Grove Cemetery, on Wed
nesdnv morning, nnd interred by the
side of her father—the late Henry
Todd. Col. S. W. Harris and Dr.
J. K. Todd and wife accompanied
the remains from Carrollton.
Mrs. Harris was tfce idol of devot
ed parents in her girlhood, and grew
up one of the most beautiful'and ac
complished young ladies in onr fair
Soutblrnd. She was well known in
West Point, in which vicinity her
father lived so many years. She
w as married to Col. Harris, hy Rev.
K. W. Dixon, on June 27, 1866, and
i, sided lor feveral years alter marriage
•among us. They moved to Carroll
ton after the railroad reached that
lown. She leaves six children—the
youngest of whom is an infant only
four months old-to mourn the loss
«| a loud mother. May God temper
the winds to these shorn lambs. Mrs.
HairU was a sister of Dr J. S. Todd,
of Allanta and a cousin of Mr. Wm.
Tot'd of Chambers connty. Her
death was cawed by sporadic cholera,

Whitmore, a native of Hall county.
About three years since, she and her
hnsliand moved to Mississippi. He
was somewhat attached to a woman
in the connty before he left, and con
tinued to hear frdfh her. About four
teen months ago, he deserted his
wife, without provocation, and came
back to Georgia, circulating the re
port that his wife and children were
dead, and taking up his abode with
the woman left behind. His wife left
without any means, with difficulty
supported her children, but finally
XJV made enough money to bring her
back to her old home, hoping he
jniidld, at 1< ast, support their children

The following is Dr. Unger’s cure
for drunkenness, which has received
tbe endorsement ot a number of lead
ing ones. It is claimed that the doc
tor has cured 28,000 persons ot the
worst form of intemperance with-it,
and that it is the first remedy ever
discovered that kills the. disease and
the inclination to drink at one nnd
the same time.
Remedy —Take one pound of best
fresh quill red Peruvian bark, pow
der it, and soak it into one pint of
dilluled alcohol. Afterwards strain
and evaporate it down to a half pint
Take a teaspoonful every three hours
the first ana second day, and occa
sionally moisten the tongue between
the doses. It acts like quinine, and
the patient can tell by a headache if
he is getting too much. The third
day take as previous, but reduce tbe
dose to one-half teaspoonful. After
ward reduce the dose to fifteen drops
and then down to ten, and then down
to five drops. To make a cure i<
takes from five to fifteen days, and in
extreme cases thirty days. Seven
davs are about the average in which
a cure can be effected.

A popular Macon minister recently
spent the night thirty miles below
Americus with a back-woodsman,
whose honse consisted only of two
room«. The family, however, consist
ed of twenty-one, though owing to
a dance in the neighborhood only
seventeen of the children were at
home. The minister spent the night
with the farmer and seven sons in one
room, while the old lady and ten
daughters occupied the other. In
the morning a junior member of tbe
family, in response to an application
for a washbowl, brought him an old
tin pan, and after the face toilet was
complete, hunted up about seven
teeth of an old lacking comb for him
to arrange his hair with. During the
progress of this important ceremony
the following conversation between
Abe two took place;
“Mister do you wash every morn-
in’?’
“I do,’
“And comb your hair too ?”
“Yes.”

On motion, the two-thirds ru
adopted and the basis of repre
tion was fixed at 3 and 6.
On motion, the convention pro-
ceeded to nominate a candidate, and
Mr George, of Morgan, in a very fe-
lioitous sjwech, which was greeted
with frequent rounds of applause,
placed in nominatiop the Hon Hiram
P Bell, and upon call of tbe roll of
counties, there being no other nomi
nation, he was, amid much enthusi
asm, nominated by acclamation.
The committee on resolutions,
throngh its chairman, Mr. George,
made the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
1. Resolved, That we do cordially
indorse the nomination of Hancock
and English, and adopt the Cincin
nati platform as embodying our views
of the true principles of Democracy
and of republican government upon
which the same can be administered
in the interest of the whole people,
and we earnestly commend the nom
inees and platform to all fair-minded
men throughout thi Union.
2. Resolved, That we return oar
thanks and the thanks of the people of
this district to the Hon Phil Cook, of
the third Georgia district, for his very
able defense ot our people upon the
floor of Congress, in answering the
charge of “moonshine violence’’ in
this district, during the absence of
our representative, Mr. Speer, while
the horse had under- consideration a
bill to revise the internal revenue
laws.
3. Resolved, That the Democracy
of this district heartily approve the
manly fight made by the Hon Joel A
Billups in the last congressional elec
tion. . Defeat on the high plane, fto
which he waged the campaign is more
honorable than success on that lower
one which often crowns the efforts of
those whose greed for office and its
emoluments outweigh their patriotism
and loyalty to party.
4. Resolved, That we recommend
to futnre conventions in this district
the adoption of the majority rule as
the one which gives the fair expres
sions of the will of the people, and
that is truly Democratic.
5. Resolved, That we commend to
the voters of all faiths and parties the
nominee of this convention, Hon.
Hiram P. Bell, and .cordially invite
them to co-operate with iis in semir
ing his election and we humbly pledge
ourselves, individually and collective
ly, to sustain and support him with
our united efforts and influence.
