Seeing the rough brawny form - of Ab
Dorsey on tl.o street, a reporter of the
B.-W. enquired of him :
“How are the crops?”
“fou can bet all of your last month’s
accounts that Dorsey is ou top, so far as
inencing soon after crossjng the Oconee
river, and reaching to a snort distance
south of Lula. The length of the town,*
however, is not included in the corporate
limits, or Mayor Bob Hardeman would
have to get a trotting wagon to overlook
his charge.
The business part of this beautiful
place lies along the railroad, and for
good reliable business men Harmony
Grove cannot be excelled. On the north
west end of ihe town is the large store
and warehous* of C, W. Hood & S»n,
who have done more to build up that
place limn any others in it.
Coming dow n the line we find Quillian
Ar Bros , a quiet but substantial firm.
Gunnels, Power A; Co. come next; they
might well be ranked among the leaders.
Harbor Bros., who started at the bottom,
are now tho cqu*i of uny of the
merchants. Mr. 1~ S. Hardeman,
although young in years,haN gone rapidly
to ihe Iront, not only as a Mayor but «s
a merchant. Dr. L G. Hardeman has
the r.eaiest and nicest drug store in the
.State, and with his able assistant. Dr.
Sharp, is doing a fine business. There
are many others who have helped bu»ld
up this little town, but space forbids to
mention them ali. It is one of the
healthiest places tha? can be found south
of the Blue Ridge. It has cool winds,
good water, and more than all a good
hotel. When we say a good hotel, we
mean that Harmony Grove furnishes it
m the Bohanoon Mouse. It is the most
homelike place in Georgia, and the
fried chicken and b-own biscuits bring
one back to childhood’s happy days
when fried chicken wi'.h the gizzard
peeping over the dish was the ideal of
happiness.
Harmony Grove is preparing to do a
big trade this fall. The crops are good,
and the merchants hopeful. Politics have
subsided since the primary election for
Senator and representatives.
To-day, at Jefferson, the delegates to
the Congressional convention will be

although the fodder is badly burned.
But I am pulling it all the same.”
“How about your cotton crop?”

JACKSON FOK CANDLER.
Am Organised Opposition Meet* With a
Had Defeat.
The convention to select delegates to
the Congressional convention which
metis in Gainesville, met Tuesday at the
court bouse in Jefferson, and was as
large a meeting aa was ever held in the
county Lr that purpose, it had become
known that there was a organized effort
in the county being generally worked to
down Candler, and send Lester delegates.
When this news got out, Candler’s
friends went to work and let all of his
supporters know that it was necessary to
be at the court he use.
At 12 o’clock, when court adjourned
for dinner, the sheriff announced that
tht re would be a meeting of the citizens,
snd then it became evident that the Can
dler men had done some good work.
Tt y commenced pouring in from every
dilection to vote for the “plough boy.”
It was not more than three minutes be
fore the bouse was crowded, with Col.
hitman, as chairman, and Col. K. L. J.
Smith, Secretary.
The **rowd all seemed like they were
washing lor something—as if there had
been a lot of political dynamite placetf
somewhere and they were expecting it
to go off. After appearing committees
to propose business Ac., it was suggested
that the Candler men get on one side of
tho house and the Lester men on the
other. This was the grand avi, and
what was expected to be a big thing for
the Utter turned out ‘o be as small as it
could.
When the Candler ana Lester men had
arranged themselves on either side of
the house, the latter,contrasted with the
lonuer, looked like a corporal’s guard
against a regiment. r ihe Secretary did
not even make a count, and it was de
clared that Candler delegates should be
sent, and the following gentlemen were
selected

During the severe storm several days
ago, the family of Mr. Henry L. Brit
tain were blinded for awhile by a flash
of lightning, unusually severe, followed
by a 3harp clap of thunder. Supposing
the house to have been struck, they ex
amined it; but could find no damage had
been done. Thinking the lightning had
struck in a neighboring wood, they paid
no attention; but the next day they
found that the cotton plants in a field
adjoining the house were drooping, and
the tops were cut off. The plants
have smeo completely died, in a strip
about two feet wide in the form of an

ground was not cut up, but chips, etc.,
lying on the surface were charred, and
seemed to have been on fire.

At the conference of the Baptist
church on Sunday morning .some fell
ing was aroused i>y a motion of Mr. 8.
T Martin to the effect that from the first
of September there should be an annual
election of a pastor. As the matter was
personal Dr. Campbell called a member
to the chair, and with his so.i left the
church. Considerable disci; • m ensued
and it was finally agreed to postpone a
consideration ef the questien until the

Athens, Ga., Aug. 1, 1888.
Damaging reports as to the health of
Athens having been circulated through
out the State, we respectfully submit
the following statement for the informa
tion of all concerned :
Wo do not know of any case of true
typhoid fever occurring here during the
present summer.
The prevailing fever i? what is known
as gastritis, or castric fever. ~
So far as we know only five cases of
this fever have proved fatal.
With these exceptions, those persons
attacked have recovered or are convales
cent.
The number of cases this year has not
exceeded that of last year.
The general health of the city is in
other respects as good as at any time in
the last ten years.
The drainage of the city is good, and
we knew of no local cause likely to pro
duce sickness of any kind.
We believe the city cf Athens to he
as healthful a location as any in this or
other States, and to all we sincerely com
mend it in this as well as in other res
pects.

MU. J. V. iiRAliRKUUY PRESERVES a MINNIE
BALL FOR 2G YEARS.
Tuesday morning Mr. J. V. Bradbcr-
ry came into our office and said, aa he
extended his hand holding in it a batter
ed ininnie ball.
“Here is a bullet I want you to im
print with June 18th 1862.”
We made the impression desired. Mr.
Bradberry then remarked:
“This is the first bullet fired at the
old 3rd Georgia Kegiirent after we had
our battle flag. It killed one man, my
brother, John M. Bradberry and wound
ed me. We were in the front lines near
Richmond and the fighting referred to
was done on June 18th 1862.” That was
his reason for having the impression on
the bullet. On one side of the bullet
was apiece of tin which Mr. Bradberry
says was a piece of his brother’s canteen.
The bullet grazed his thigh, and passed
on into bis brother’s hip—his brother
died the next day.
With much pride the ex-soldier spoke
of the ol<fc flag that will float over many
ascarred t snd worn veteran’s # face in Madi
son today. That flag was never captur
ed nor surrendered. At the surrender
it was hid and brought home es a remin
der of days of gallantry and valor.
Fine Crop*.
The crops up the Northeastern, except
in^i few places, are fine ; the cotton is
well grown, of good color and full of
fruit. Corn has suffered somewhat, but
an average crop will be harvested.
lUbcre ihe bottoms were planted-, the
corn is as fine as the land can grow. The
yield of cotton will be larger than last
year in our section as a whole.
“The play’s the thing.

The Sixteenth Georgia Regiment
which left Georgia under the command
ot Col. Howell Cobb, who was afterwards
promoted to General, are making prep

Fair in Ather*. The 16th was one of
the finest regiments that ever left Georgia
and the survivors are ’anxious to get to
gether and talk over old times. The cit
izens of Athens will give them a grand
welcome. Athena is the home of their
first commander, and it it nothing but
right that they should have a re-union
here.
Matrimonial Objection*.
“Wbat’8 that?” sternly asked an Ath
ens dame the other morning, as her
spouse, after dressing, began to fumble
over a contrivance in a box.
“That,” answered ho with aching head,
“i.t an Kdison phonograph I have just

A Wonderful Rooking Stone.
Imagiue a stone, in size containing
about 500 cubic feet, in shape nearly aa
round as an o.*ange, in weight not’ less
than 80,000 pounds, or forty tons, and so
nicely balanced upon a table of rock that
a child ten years of age, by pushing
against either the north or south side,
can rock it lack and forth; yet the
strength of 100 men, without levers or
other appliances, would be insufficient to
dislodge it from its position. Such is
the celebrated rocking stone on the farm
of Mr. J. McLaury, two miles west of
Monticello. This is one of the greatest
natural curiosities iu our whole country.
What sculptor could chisel out a piece of
marble of its size, and then joise it so
nicely that it would vibrato under so
light a touch? But its shape, size and
position are not the most wonderful
things about it. Its body is comjxwed of
a somewhat loose am! soft sandstone in
which are imbeded numberless round
and flinty pebbles, of a diamond like
hardness. In all tho valley where it is
situated it is the solitary specimen of its
class. Around and under, the rocks are
of a totally different structure. The
table on which it rests is a hard stone,
nearly ns hard and close grained as tho

\Y* Must All RiH»rnib]«*.
All, how much we hide! The most

keep a whole world concealed in his
ieart of hearts. Can we tell that hesi

Can we trounce that in vain,affec
ted old woman for her folly in paint-
og her face Sunl dyeing her hair and
xposing her shriveled old flesh, which
ias forgotten to be young t hese thirty
years and more? We hide our contempt
for that piece of meanness; our doubt
of that statement; our beleii in disunion
f those not long-weddec. folk; our
fear of a coming financial crash where
the rumor would fulfil itself, and to
set the report about would be to insure
its fruition in fact. We bide our sor
row for that pretty little woman's per
petual nagging at her foolish husband
—that loving mothers over-anxiety
for her children s welfare, and lier
consequent codding physically and
over-training morally—both which
must lead to disasters. We are sorry,
but what can we do? Has it been laid
on us to go through the world as Quix
otes redressing all evils? We have to
hide, not detail—to be silent, not lo
quacious. Our own confident is our-
lf, mid this is one who never betrays.
So things go; and we all carry about
with us the talisman which prevents
the destruction of peace, by enabling
us to bide our thoughts; and they
who should discard this talisman of
silence and concealment would be as
fiery bombshells flung into a powder
magazine, whereby the whole fabric of
society would be blown to atoms.-Lon-

Student* from tliu Carlisle School.
Sixty-two of tho Indian students who
have si>ent fivo or more years at tho Car
lisle Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., were
6ent to then* bora's in the west recently.
Some went to Montana, some to Idaho,
others to Arizona, Now Mexico, Indian
territory, Nebraska and Dakota, repre
senting fifteen different Indian agencies.
This party of Indian youth was the
brightest crowd of lioys and girls ever
sent out by the Carlisle school. In fact,
so much confidence was placed in them
tliat they were allowed to return to their
western homes without an escort, some
thing never before done in tho history of
tho school. TAo party consisted of
thirty-live large boys, six small ones and
twenty-one girlj. Some of them were
very glad to return to their relatives,
from whom they have been separated so
long, but others appreciated the fact that
? n ?re is no salvation for them from tho
Indian ways wlien once brought in con
tact with them again aF their homes, and
much preferred to remain in the east.
Tho demand of the parents, of course,
overthrows the desire of the young Indi
ans, and the government, living up to its
obligation to return ail students at tho
expiration of their time, sends them
back.—Boston Transcript.

Clark Reitmeyer of Lewisburg, Pa.,
was in love with a Chicago girl, and
they “corresponded.” But the love ma
king stopped many months ago, bc-
suse the young man did not receive
an answer to his “Lost letter/, lie was
too high-strung to ask for an explana
tion. Last week he received an answer
to his hist letter, and a note of explana
tion accompanied it. A commercial
traveler, while riding on a Maine rail
road, purchased a magazine published
in Chicago; and between the pages
he discovered the letter addressed to
Reitmeyer. It was sewed fast. It had a
stamp upon it, but no ]>ostmark. The
drummer was mistrified, and on reflec
tion sent on the letter as directed. It
seemed that the young lady worked in
a bindery, aud that she had placed tlie
letter between the pages for safekeep
ing. Forgetting that she had not mail
ed it, she concluded that her lover
had left her. The correspondence has
been resumed, and let us hope that, in
the language of other and older fairy
tales, “they will live happily to a good
old age.”—New York Letter.

One of tbe Hot Place*.
When Anbury Park is hot it is the hot
test place on the face of tho earth. For
some occult reason the sun focalizes here,
and one goes around with the feeling that
he is directly under the rays of a burning
glass. Why such a torrid spot should
have been selected for the camp meeting,
arcund which, a3 a nucleus, these places
have grown, it Is difficult to imagine, hut
perhaps the* temperature rose afterward,
as tho result of tho concentration of bo
much religious fervor in one spot How
ever tliat may be, it is noticeable tliat
there is a rise as soon as one gets within
the boundary lines. Everybody flocks to
the beach, preferring to sizzle gregari
ously. Here are the lame, the lialt and
the blind; grave and reverend clergy
men; colored people in great numbers;
mammas, with their nurses and little
ones. The babies are the only people
who display much energy, and they have
a good deal more than their nurses feel
to be at all desirable, considering the
position of the mercury. One class, how
ever, is conspicuous by its absence—a
pretty girl is a rara avis. Perhaps it is
the way the girls get themselves up, but
they produce tho impression of being a
singularly ill favored company.—New
York Star.
Coins a Little Too VmL
One of the doctors is warning summer
vacationists that their chief danger is go
ing too faat. “The most common error
at the start is overdoing.” There is a
walk of several miles on a mountain; or,
if it is bathing in the sea, an hour is
spent among the waves. “Degreeingly
to grow into anything,” says one of tho
old writers, “is reserved unto the wise
men.” He add9 that any change tliat is
made in our mode of life should be grad
ual. “The first exercise of any kind
should never be to the extent of fatigue.
As to bathing, it is to be remembered
that man is not an aquatic animal.” Tho
trouble with those who seek a summer’s
rest is that they are carried away by tho
novelty of new situations and do not con
tent themselves with peacefully enjoying
anything. Tins is particularly so of the
women, who nat.trolly hugely enjoy a
break up of the monotony of housekeep
ing.—Globe-Democrat.
The Young Emperor's Suggestion.
The curt remark of the young German
emperor tlie other day to the municipal
authorities of his capital, “Make it your
business to see that more churches are
built in Berlin,” has more significance
than appears on the surface. For Ber
lin, notwithstanding Bismarck’s boast
that the Germans love God and fear no
body, is the poorest capital of Christen
dom in tlie matter of churches. It has
little more than sixty places of worship
to satisfy tlie wants of nearly a million
and a half of people, and the number of
worshipers in all the churches on an av
erage Sunday is said to be less than 2 per
cent, of the entire population. Doubt
less the young emperor thinks anarchy,
communism and lawlessness are calcu
lated to find a congenial soil for growth
in a city where only 25.000 out of over a
million of people assemble in the churches
on Sunday.—Once a Week.

More About Athens* Salubrity.
In a leading editorial the Augusta
Chronicle of yesterday has this to say
about the healthfulness of Athens;
“It is absurd to suppose that the re
ports of fsrer in Athens last month will
really injure the excellent schools of the
Classic City. There hay. been rumors
of feyer in Athens, Atlanta and other
cities in the btate, but these types of
sickness are disappearing as the summer
wears away, and by the opening of the
fall season there will be no restige of the
disorders of the season. The climate of
Athens is cool and bracing. What im
provements may be needed in sewerage
and water supply we are confident will
be made by the city authorities. The
excellent schools of Athens will open this
fall with their full complement of pupils.’

A Bright Outlook.
The chronic grumbler seems to have

times are conspicuous by their absence,
ijneoureging reports come from every
section of the State. A good corn crod
is secured and there is every reason to
believe that the cotton crop will bo
above the average. It is tr.’.e that the
small grain crops in some sections were
mnch below the average; but, upon tho
whole, the agricultural outlook is very
bright and encouraging. With good
crops and good candidates, the farmer
is a contented man. This year he is
more than contented. Ue is jubilant.

“There is a bond of friendship and
good will between Macon and Athens
