There are lour inmates of Lexing ton jail. Dr. Jarrell ha- bought Mr. Jons Cunningham’s place and will move there. Mr. (’, will g.» to Texas.- The Echo says: -We heat of no less tl-sn five serious difficulties now pending in ill’s county, ami in two of them there are pistols and coffee. There is a pit ce of eali o at the bottom of one of them. 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. Wanderer. A hay-roan horse was stolen from J. F. Barnett, near Winterville, Sun day Sunday night. He was l eie yes terday searching for him. We learn that quite a number of ladies and gentlemen left yesterday afternoon for Mount Airy and other points of interest along the Air Line road. We understand that Mr. John Billups has been requested by promi nent citizens of the connty, to enter the race for lax receiver, at the en suing election. The premium list of the Oconee Fair Association will be issued in a few days from the job office of Yan cey & Cranford. A limited number of advertisements will be iuserted at reasonable rates. d—It We learn that Mr. Tiuny Rucker has withdrawn from the race for Leg islative honors, in favor of Mr. Pope Barrow. There seems to be no op position to Mr. Barrow np to present writing. Athens will decide in tbe 2nd Tuesday in September, whether she will have a system of public schools or not. Wo believe in a “fiee” sys tem of education, and hope the meas ure will succeed. Mr. H. Beusse will probably press ent to our readers in a few days in a highly entertaining atticle, the prin« ciples, upon which he propose to con duct his campaign at t! e ensuing Mayor’s election. Prof, llalwick has made np his ticket for the ensuing eleotion, and in addition to the riverside station, will open a first-class “suicide home” for Clark connty if elected. This to the “desjiondenis” in the affairs of love, Ac. We regret to learn that Mr. Moss’ excursion to Tallulah Falls was pre vented from leaving yesterday morn ing by the receipt of information, that Mr- Young’s hotel was crowded and that the party coaid not be ac commodated in a desirable manner. THE NINTH DISTRICT THE ACTION OF THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. Gainesville, August 10.—Pur> suant to the call of the chairman, the Democratic Convention of the ninth district met at the conrUbouse, and promptly at 10 o’dock was called to order by Hon A D Candler, chairman of the executive committee. On motion of J E Red wine, of Hall, W W Scott, of Madison, was elected president. R P Latner, of Dawson, then moved that W F Findley sffl On last Saturday, a woman with three small, sickly looking children, came to the city on the Northeastern train, and applied for work at one of the factories.

Her story is a rad one, related Phil R Simmons be requested to act' as follows: Her* name is Mrs. Wm as secretaries. On call of the roll of counties it was found that all were represented ex cept Habersham and Lumpkin, and the following list of delegates were enrolled: Banks, D R Parks.

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, and she was sick only 86 hours.— Stote L»>e Point) Press, jivg..

Our Mayor Comes to Their Relief. 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 On arriving, a fetv days since, near the home of Wm.

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. AktaalsluanL The Macon Telegraph and Messen ger is responsible for the following: 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.” “Well don’t it look to you some times like you is a heap of trouble to yourself Y' and G W Scroggs; Union, Joseph Reed, F M Williams and T J Harrai-' son ; White, Jesse Hunt and J W Blackwell 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.
