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.

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.

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 Wiley C. Howard, N. J. Kelley, A. F. Denueu, A. 1>. Camp, W. A. Quilhan, Col. R. L. J. Smito. Col.

Mr. 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 L, with prongs about ten feet long. The ground was not cut up, but chips, etc., lying on the surface were charred, and seemed to have been on fire.

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. W. A. Carlton, M. D., J.

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 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.

Athens young folks have discovered something quite new in the way of amusement. The other night a party of them assembled at a friend’s house for what they chose to call a “tolu party.” An hour was devoted to industrious mastication of chewing gum. The mouths of all were stuffed so full that conversation was impossible. At tho end of the hour a juries of amusements occupied their attention.

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 blue stc 10 of our quarries. From whence came this wanderer and how?—Monti cello (N. Y.)

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- don Queen. 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. A Prettj Roma-re. Romance is not altogether confined to novels, even in this prosilc age. 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.

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.

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.

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. firm’s office.

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.
