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. LOCAI.IMJIS. The Delegates from this District tu il.v. Ovu.tuUwv iv.oro forttinnte in drawing for seats. They secur ed the first choice and had the pick of the whole. The Major and a lew others, who appreciate a good thing, left this morning for Baiubridge to embark on the excursion boat to Appalachieola. 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 Thomasvillc. 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 slost Respccfully B. L. Ilcartt 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. Delmah. 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. tVc arc indebted t<S Ml*. Littlctj^g 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. Mahfijh. Tiiomasville, Ga., \ July 10 th, 1877. I At a regular meeting of the fruit and Vegetable Growers Association the following delegates were appoint ed to attend the convention of the State Horticultural Society to convene at Macon on the first, second and third days of August: L. L. Varuedoe, E. T. Davis, Dr. S. J. Jones, W. D. Mitchell, 11. 11. Sanford,. Iv. T. Mc- Lean. The following resolution was unani mously adopted: llesolved. That every member of the Society, that may have line fruits in a green or l ine condition, will send them for exldhiti.n to the State Horticultural Meeting to ho held in Ma cou on the first of August. Such members of tliis Society as cannot attend there, and who have fruits which they wish there exhibited, or would like to have correctly named, if they will bring them to the store of John Stark on tho 30tli of this mouth, the Secretary will take 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 transmission to the Secretary of the State Hot ticultotal Society.
