The protracted meeting) com
menced in the Baptist church the
first of last week, is still continued.
The attendance is uniformly large
anti the interest, though not dem
onstrative, seems to be general.—
Up to Sunday evening two persons
had been received into the church
aud baptized. Daring last week
the regular pastor, Mr. Bennett,
was assisted by Rev. E. B. Carroll,
of Brooks county, who has many
friends, former companions in
arms and school mates in Thomas
county. Though youug in years
and.in the ministry his ability and
piety, coupled with fine social qual
ities, have greatly endeared him to
his respective flocks and promise
for him a future of much useful
ness. Mr. Carroll left on Sunday
for a brief visit to his home, hat
was to return yesterday with the
Rev. Mr. White of Quitman, both
of whom M ill remain during the
present week.
The order of services is prayer
meeting at Bo’cloek in the morning
and preaching at night. Th ; meet
ing will continue the remainder of
the week, if no longer. The
services are made as brief as possible
in order not to weary the regular
attendants, and all are cordially
invited to attend.
THK I.ECTI ttK.
The second lecture for the bene
fit of the Library Association was
delivered on Monday night last by
Rev. C. S. Rockwell. Owing to
the fact that the meeting in the
Baptist church is still progressing
many were prevented from attend
ing, but the house was a pretty
good one. Those who did not at
tend missed a treat. Mr. Rock
well had selected as his subject
“The Uses of the Study of Histo
ry” and he treated it in a manner
calculated to make it interesting
and instructive to every one. The
lecture was written in a style so
pure and chaste, yet so replete
with elegance and beauty, that it
would have reflected credit on the
most renowned writers of the pres
ent day. In the matter of instruc
tion it might have been listened to
with profit by many of those who
rank high as statesmen. We wish
that it was in our power to publish
the lecture, but our space is much
too limited. These lectures are
not only pleasant to listen to, but
are very instructive, and we hope
our people will make up their
minds to attend them all. They
cannot spend their time or their
money to a better advantage in
any other way.

THE PAIR NEXT FA1.1.-
We are very much gratified to
learn from Capt. E. T. Davis, the
live President of the Fair Associa
tion, that everything is unusually
promising for the exhibition next
fall. He says every one almost
that he has seen seems to Lc inter'
ested and working to make the
exhibition a greater success than
ever before. This is all that is
necessary. Let everybody in the
county determine to shoM' some
specimen of the products of the
field, farm or garden; of the loom,
the needle the or kitchen, and M e xvill
have such a show as M ill astonish
all visitors. We never knew M’hat
Thomas county could produce till
the Fair Association commenced
these exhibitions. AVe have learn
ed much, but we do not yet know
our om'ii resources. The Fair in
October must eclipse all others,
and svc believe it will. The pre
mium list M’ill be in the hands of
the printer very shortly, and wc
know that it is to be a very liberal
one iu many respects.
THE weather
Jl lie; tou4 ouiuiuov coon'- - tlin^
tar to have been an unusually dry
one in the State, and in this imme
diate vicinity it has been extreme
ly so. No serious damage, how
ever, has resulted to growing crops
in this county, except within a ra
dius of from five to ten miles of
Thomasvillc. Within this scope
there has been almost no rain for
several weeks, and the result is that
all the crops have been more or
less injured, while many ot the
corn fields will be cut short from a
half to two-thirds. Cotton is at a
stand still, except taking on a lit
tle fruit; potatoe setting has been
impossible and the season will soon
be too near over ; cane and ground
peas can not grow; field peas even
lack moisture to germinate, and
gardens are a thing of the past.—
To the farmers of this belt the loss
will be felt, but fortunately a good
oat crop was the general rule and
a few still have last year’s corn and
fodder in their cribs. Other por
tions of the county promise a fair
yield and with good seasons in fu
ture enough provisions for home
consumption will be made.
A I/ETIEB FBOJI A DEAD JMAIV
We learn that Dr. Andrews had
a letter from John Johns, the man
who committed suicide after ad
ministering on his own estate and
building his coffin. In that letter
Mr. Johns says he is not dead and
did not cut his own throat, or build
liia own coffin. He is sorry the
public ia difcappointed but he is not
ready to die yet.
WANTED.
We want to engage - the services
of some young man who is anxious
to avail himself of all possible ed
ucational advantages. We want
him to read all the dispatches from
the seat of war and then hunt out
the places named on the various
maps of the seat of war in Tur
key. If he succeeds in working
out how the armies are situated
and where they are, so that we can
give our readers war news one
week that we will not have to cor
rect the next, we will give him all
lie can pick up round the office
that we have no particular use for,
and we have no doubt lie could
make the same arrangement with
our neighbor of the Times.
FRUIT GROWERS
Attention is called to the proceed
ings of the Fruit aud Vegetable
Growers Association. It will be
seen that this body will be repre
sented at the meeting and exhibi
tion of the State Horticultural So
ciety to be held in Macon on the Ist
of August. The members have re
solved to place on exhibition any
thing in the fruit line that they
may have. The Association also
oilers to have transported free of
charge any article or articles of
like character that any of the 'citi
zens, not members, may be able or
willing to furnish. This will af
ford another opportunity to illus
trate tiicadapability of our climate
to fruit culture, and we sincerely
hope that every one who can send
anything worthy of notice will not
fail to do so. We profess to waul
immigration ; then let us ignore no
means to secure it.
There is nothing that adds so
tnuch to a man’s appearance as
keeping his hair nicely cut,
his beard nicely trimmed and his
face shaved ; and nothing adds
more to a man’s comfort find
hcalthfulness than to bathe fre
quently, especially this hot weather.
We know of no way in which a
man can accomplish all these things
so satisfactorily as by patronizing
Joe Fass’Barber Shop and Bathing-
Saloon, on Broad first door above
the entrance of the Mitchell House.
r<AKEN NEEDS
Mr. S. J. Cassels has just re
ceived a large and fresh supply of
all kinds of garden seeds for fall
planting. Now is the* time to
make your selections and arrange
ments for gardening against the
coming rains.
In this connection we will an
nounce, for thp benefit of the lev
ers of good chewing tobacco, that
Sam has now in store a fresh box
of that genuine “Silver Lake” fine
cut. No imitation.
We notice that Col. W. D.
Mitchell was the only one this
year who received, iu course, the
degree of A. M. from the State
University at Athens.
There were more peaches, apples,
melons, Ac., in market on Saturday
than we ever saw here in one day.*
Iu addition to these the supply of
grapes from the surrounding vine
yards and of fresh fish from the lake
was abundant. The streets were
alive with people and the town pre
sented as live an appearance as
though there were no hard times.
The spectacle was indeed pleasing
—showing that our farmers were
diversifying their productions and
learning that their wants can be
supplied or at least greatly reliev
ed from other sources than the cot
ton fields. We would like to know
the amount of cash and home sup
plies realized that one day from
the various productions alluded to,
for, although the prices were low,
the amount was considerable. These
little things, requiring but little
effort to produce them, add much
to the comfort and luxury of home
life, supply to a considerable ex
tent the means for purchasing nec
essary suppliesand keep trade from
becoming thoroughly stagnant.—
The improvement in this direction
has been marked during the last
year or two, but there is still room
for greater. Let our people learn
to produce everything that our soil
and climate favor, and soon they
will find that not only their mode
of living has become better and
more -wholesome, but that the sur
plus of these minor productions
will enable them to bridge over
the hitherto dull season without
the aid of credit.

Our clever townsman, Mr. J.
H. Ladson, has been appointed by
Gov. Drew Commissioner of Deeds
for the State of Florida. This does
not nccessisate his removal from

A nineteen pound cabbage—
closely trimmed and ready for the
pot —from the garden of Mr.
Sanford astonished those who have
been using every precaution to
prevent spontaneous combustion in
their gardens.
The gardens around town arc
nearly all ruined and the corn in
many fields is literally burned up
by the drought, but we arc glad to
say that this is not the case all over
the county.
Poor old George is dead. His de
lightful caterwauling will be heard
no more around Jackson street in the
“wee sraa’ hours.” Tom is very
lonesome, but he would feel much
better if he only knew the man that
put out the poison.
When you want to see any man,
young or old, in the evening, and
can’t find him any where, just go
to Joe Fass’ barber shop under
Mitchell’s hotel. The splendid
pitching of Joe and Bob never
fails to draw a crowd.
The repairing of Jones’ Bridge
was let to Mr. 11. Surratt —his bid
being so 2. He also got the job of
building flat for Cumby Ferry.
The quoit club gains new mem
bers every day. The Major is
getting so saucy about bis pitching
that Joe says lie don’t know what
he will do with him unless he takes
him around some where and beats
him a few games of euchre or
whist just to convince him there is
something he can beat him doing.
A CARD.
In our issue of the 27th ult.,
we published an article which very
much offended Mr. B. L. Hearn,
we suppose, as on Thursday, the
28th ult., we received a very re
markable document signed
with his name, containing a
great deal of language unfit for
publication even in a police gazette,
and threatening to have satisfac
tion, &c. This we quietly return
ed to the address from which it
came. We next received, by re
turn mail, a postal card from the
same party in which lie threatened
to say the same tilings as contained
in his letter most “emphatically and
decidedly oil first sight.” This we
consigned to (lie waste basket.—
We considered his filthy abuse de
serving only our contempt and his
menaces alarmed us not at all.
About one week later we re
ceived a very polite note from the
same party, “most respectful
ly requesting” ti:e privi
lege of correcting some mistakes
we had made, and promising to do
so in a “genteel and respectable
manner,” We granted this re
quest and his reply will be found
below. It always affords us pleas
ure to correct an error or rectify a
wrong. Hearn’s letter to the
Times, and all the information we
could gather after the election, lead
us to believe that the men who
were voting in opposition to two of
the regular nominees, were also
working against Convention. It
seems now that the Committee to
whom Dr. Turner’s letter was ad
dressed voted for Convention
This we have learned only in the
last few days, and we make the
statement cheerfully to set the com
mittee right before the people. We
do this because we would not know
ingly do any one the least injustice,
or misrepresent them in any way,
and we will always cheerfully cor
rect any misstatements wc may
make in response to a respectful re
quest.
The following is Mr. Hearn’s
reply :
Cniro Ga July 9th 1877.
Mi- Editor
I wish to make the following statements
in reply to a piece published in your paper
the 27 ult which I hope you will allow
space iu your columns this week
Ist As for my making vairious attempts
to get into office in Thomas county I de
nounce that as being a wilful misrepre
sentation of my self and I refer to the peo
ple as proof of my making vairious at
tempts 2d As for Dr Turner being set
right more satisfactorily than I was able to
do I say it had not been done up to the
time of nty writing besides I felt as much
interest in Mr J. W. M’alker being place
right as Dr Turner 3d I presumed to speak
of the people of the 18th Dist of my own
free will and accord for fear a false ims
pression might be entertained by many in
regard to his action $ doings at- the elec
tion for delegates to the convention
4th. Dr Turners Letter was addressed to
three gentlemen of the 18th Dist a majori
ty of whom cannot be excelled in the coun
ty for honesty uprightness and integrity
and above an average in point of intellect
sth As for my self or either of those cor
responding with Dr Turner voting against
a convention I pronounce a grand mistake
& gros3 Error and perhaps a wilful mis
take so far as I was concerned And please
allow me to say right here that the consti
tution of theU. S. and Georgia allows peo
ple to vote for who they please and is dem
ocratic too and I say when Lawyers poli
ticians clicks rings or any other set of men
fall out with a man vilify criticise <j- abuse
him for voting as he pleases that they de
part from true Democracy and enter into
Demagatigism radicalism and all other
rang isms I voted for It. S. Burch &
James H. Hays last October who are far
mers & Democrats they say & I have no
right to dispute their word as regards
their politics and 1 don’t wish to insult any
one but I must say that those who don’t
like my ways for voting for them can help
themselves I ask no favors of such am not
dependant on them for my bread and but
ter nor any other set of Demagogues Cth
aud Last Now as for our sore heads we
confess our share of that but we are much
better now since we find we are as popu
lar as some of those who sometimes get
nominations in the regular way we can al
ways carry Dlteen & upwards never have
been that low yet in Ihe 18th hence our
sore heads are improving rapidly and I
cineerly hope that all will be well by next
term all will be fouud in one phalanx bat
tling to put the best and most intelligent
farmers of Ihe county in the front rank
leaving Lawyers politicians Demagogues
radicals carpet bags scallawags & incon
sistant Democrats all in the shade then
our sore head will never hurt again

StIIIOOI. EXHIBITION AT NEW
HO EE.
We wviu One amuu” tlic largo
crowd that gathered at New Hope
Academy, on Wednesday evening
last, to witness the interesting ex
ercises of Prof. J. L. Hall’s school.
The programme being a lengthy
one, the exercises were commenced
at 7:30 by the reading of the Salu
tatory address by Miss S. Gertrude
Vann. Then followed declama
tions, compositions, songs, tableaux,
charades, Ac., <£-c., all of which
were rendered in a most happy
manner, and reflected much credit
upon teacher, pupils and other par
ticipants.
Miss Ruth E. Lester won the
prize for the best composition, and
Master C. W. Cochran and Mr.
Y. W. Cochran the prizes for the
best declamation.
The prizes were delivered by
Mr. Frank M. Jones, in a brief
but very appropriate address, and
while touching upon the higher lit
erary attainments of woman, his re
marks were clothed in beautiful
and eloquent language.
The music, furnished by Messrs.
Weldon, Clifford and Barrow, was
really good and properly appreci
ated by all present.
At 12 0. the programme had
been completed and all were home
ward bound ; and while we must
now close this hastily written arti
cle, we do so with the hope that
we may meet again with the good
people of New Hope neighborhood
upon a similar occasion.

OUR CAIRO I/ETTEB.
The hail storm which passed
; over our county on the flight of
| the Cell inst. did considerable dam
| age to the growing crops. In many
localities, the wind slayed the tim
ber, and almost literally covered
the fields with logs, and trash;
breaking down the corn and cotton
to an alarming extent. AVe have
been informed that hail fell in
some places, as large as a common
size tea cup. In many places the
refreshing showers, accompanied
by a slight wind, doubtless met
with a hearty welcome by our good
farmers. Its appreciation was
greater, coining in this way, than it
v.ould have been otherwise. AVe
M ould say to those who are among
the unfortunate, avoid murmuring.
Remember that lie M-ho rules su
preme, governs his own. There
fore leave it all to His majesty.
Of all the snake stories we have
ever heard, the one M’c will noM T
place before the readers of this
per “caps the climax” and the
most remarkable part of it, to us,
is that it is told for the truth, and
wc cannot doubt the gentleman’s
veracity; believing him to be, as
u:c do, a truthful man. But at the
same time it oversteps, in dimen -
sion, everything of the kind that
lias come within our knowledge.—
Here it is, as told to us. One day,
week before last, a Mr. A., living
in Mitchell cmtwAyy_ment out hunfej
ing, accompanied by his Tilth.- (loaJ
Near the wood rack on the railro\ b
at Pelham the dog struck the trail
of a squirrel, and while running,
passed by Mr. A. Soon alter the
dog had passed, a huge rattlesnake
was discovered on the same trail,
evidently after the dog. The faith
ful old piece M’as leveled, aw'ay
Men 11 he ball,takiDg effect above and
to the right of the upper jaw, but
apparently the firing of the rifle
and piercing of the ball M’as unno
ticed. Mr. A. reloaded his piece
and taking deliberate aim, brought
his snakeship to a dead halt, but
the wonderful part has not been
told. Upon examination ( now
friends be cool) the snake M as found
to have 32 rattles and one
measured 8 inches across the top of
the head, and M’as 11 feet long.—
It was thought by the party, of
whom M’o obtained our informa*-
tion, that his hide, if stuffed,
Mould hold three bushels of cotton
seed. AA r e don’t think this snake
story can be beat, though we are'
powerful skeered, for Capt. H.
has got so many in his cranium.—
AVe don’t mean snakes, Capt.
Our iriend, Hugh Powell, says
he don’t like those boggy places on
the river. He bogs too deep, and'
then the Dr.—well you know how
Dr. AVill laughs, Hecow! Heeow!
Hceow!
The name of our town, “Cairo,”
originated as folloM’s: Years ago,
before there was even a thought of
the possibility of a little toivn
here, the P. O. was established sev
eral miles above here on “big
Tyred” creek, and was given the
name “Cairo.” The people living
on the east side of the
ed themselves in the land of Asia,
and those on the M’est side the land
of Egypt. The creek M’as the di
viding line between the tivo grand
divisions. The other side being
the land of Egypt iu Africa in
which Cairo was established, took
its name from “Cairo” in Egypt,
across the M’aters. It took its
name from a large city, but M r e fear
its groM’th is nearly complete. If,
(but that’s the thing, that little
M r ord iff) if we had anew county,
our county aud town Avonld doubt
less improve very materially, so
say many.
Sam says: See-o-double-you
spells com’. So it does Sara, and
the same 13 letters M’ill spell sow.
AVatermelous come slos\’ly, like
the ox did the other day that
brought in the nearly loaded wag-'
on Capt. H. -saw. AVe have’nt
seen that M’agon load nearly but
think it will be in next sveek, as
we heard such talk yesterday.
AA r c have been unable as yet to
ascertain the meaning of that M’ou
derfully double and twisted pug
ugly M’ord we saw last M’eek in the
“CD” ot the “T T.”
Hot weather still prevails, and
so does the soda fount of Wra.
Powell & Cos. Keep kool.
Very little demand for corn and
meal this summer. No compari
son with last.
And still they come. What?
Scholars to school.
It has been so hot and dry, and
potato vines are so skase, we don’t
know what will become of our po
tato patch. Guess it will grow up
in weeds for the sec-o-double-you.

Sasser for that half bushel of ntjfcr
sweet apples he sent us a few days
ago. Mr. S. has a good many
trees on his place, from which he
gathered apples in abundance this
season. We know, for seeing a
cart containing eight bushels is
sufficient proof. May he live long
and become prosperous in every
thing else.
Mr. Thomas Ballard, of this
county,, raised 24 bushels of wheat
this year on two acres which, when
converted into flour, will make six
barrels that will be worth in the
neighborhood of SSO. We hope
more of our farmers will take
ichcat raising into consideration.

charge of the same and forward them to Ma
con tree of charges. To receive alto unripe
clusters of oranges,grape fruit,lemons,bananas
or of other late fruits, it would be very desir
able to have some line samples, so ai to show
our capacity for tlie growing of semi-tropical
fruits. Persons not members of this Society
who have any choice fruits, and wish to help to
illustrate the capacities of South Georgia as a
fruit growingsectiou, are invited to bring them
to the above mentioned place of reception for
