Iteftidcnt Corrcs- NukrcIh of New* pondent* at i Various I*oinU Near Our City. CRAWFORD. Seven miles from the source of the Stvxnnah, firmed &}• the confluence of the Tugalo an 1 Seneca rivers, is situated ti.e thriving town of Hartwell, built upon tin elevated plateau, midst stately oaks. A more pic urefque location for a city con'd not be found in Geergia. Beside what nature has done for her, Hartwell is blessed with a good substan tial citizenship, noted for progressive ness and integrity. For a long time cut off, as it were, from the rest of the world, they awoke to their interests and secur ed the Hartwell Narrow gauge railroad, conrecting at BowersviUe with the El- berton Air-Line, and their town has grown steadily ever since. Foremost among its substantial citi zens stards *Mr. J. B. Benson. Believ- ng a great fut ure was in store for Hart well, be bent his best energies to extend ing her commercial importance, and to inducing people to settle there. Now, as the frosts of age rre creeping upon him, he can enjoy the fruits of his youth in see.ng Hartwell the j.e >r of any North east Georgia towns, and enjoy the com forts of a snug fortune. With him is as sociated his son, Mr. E. B. Benson, under the firm name of J. B. & E. B. Benson. They carry a stock of general merchan dise, which would do credit to any place, besides dealing extensively in cotton and ferti'izers. A younger, bat very solid firm, is Brown, Adams & Co., whose handsome, neatly painted store is fall of notions, clothing, shoes, etc. These gentlemen do a fine business. T. J. Lit do, arms the rect is a thorough going merchant. But when it ccines to keeping a strictly .first-class livery stable, and blooded horses, Capt J. M. Kidd is the man. He is a gal lant ex-Coifederate and useful citizen. Fully abreast of the times is the new drug house of Harper & Stoddard. These young gentlemen have fitted up an ele gant store, and are daily receiving a su per!* stock of pure drugs, chemicals and perfumery. Mr. J. \V. Roberts, besides being the popular sheriff of Hart county, is engag ed in merchandising, and- has a tinegro- ccry trade. He is a candidate for re- election, and it will be hard to beat him as he is a faithful officer. There are several other excellent bu siness men, but space forbids further cx- patiation, however, mention must be made of the splendid merchant mill of A, J. & T. N. McMullin, and tho excel lent wagon and machinery establishment of Messrs. W. II. Boleman & Son. A few miles from Hartwell is the steam gin and machinery establishmopt of Mr. L. 15. Fisher.

A Blackfoot Indian recently covered a distance of ninety miles per day for four days on foot, and his sole diet was dried beef. Tho trouble with tho white man is that he lives too well. A well known American publisher says that the works of Charles Dickens can hardly bo brought oat fast enough to koep up with the demand, while reprints of Thackeray hardly pay for tho paper used. The atmosphere on the English chan nel was recently rarefied to such a de gree that objects between thirty and forty miles from Dover and Folkestone could clearly be distinguished with the naked eye. The popular dread of green on ac count of suspicion of arsenic in its com position seems to have disappeared if one can believe the report that green is to be the fashionable color for the winter, and will appear in wall paper, draperies and ribbons. The telephone was allowed to be used on Sunday for the first time in London a few weeks ago. Tho managers of tho company, it is said, had grave doubts about the result of such an innovation, but the large use that was made of the privilege satisfied them. Fishermen seeking sea bass off the coast of Monterey, Cal., came upon a gigantic sunfish, and succeeded in cap turing it after enveloping it in about 100 fathoms of net. It weighed 4,000 pounds, and efforts were made to pre serve it and send it to San Francisco, but they failed. The third of the three heaviest rifled guns ever made in this country is nearly completed at the ordnance foundry of tho South Boston Iron Works. Tho first gun was made of cast iron, the second of cast iron hooped and •tubed with steel, and the gun now in the foundry is like the second. Cats as a general thing do not like water, even though they are good swim mers. A man in Clayton, N. J., has n large Maltese that is an exception.

There is one feature about Hartwell which some larger cities close by woud do well to pattern afler, it is her cxced lent, newly painted and finely furu shed hotel. The genial proprietor, Mr. j[. B. Nelms, gives his guests the best of tar and leaves nothing undone for their comfort. It is a treat to stop with him. Educationally considered, Hartwell is moving forward admirably. By private subscription, her citizens have almost completed a fine $4,000 college building. It is 50x90 feet, two stories, surmounted with a handsome cupola, supplied with the latest improved cement blackboards anil patent desks. Prof. S. M. Bobo is the able principal and has three capable coadjutors. Prof. Bobo is full of energy and is doing a grand work. He has over 75 pupils. Hartwell receives 7,000 bales of cotton annually, and while the crop is quite late, there is every reason to believe the re ceipts this year will not fall ehort of and may exceed that amount. The people of Hartwell are anxious to have a more direct connection with Athens, and would subscribe liberally to building a railroad to our city, which they consider the metropolis of North east Georgia. Near Hartwell is some of the finest water-power in the South, and with the proper stops, capital can be diverted to wards developing it. Hartwell is remarkably healthy, lo cated as it is, it is impossible for stagnant water to exist. The longest and hardest rains, winter or summer, never injure the streets of Hartwell.

A Banneb-Watchman reporter heard that Preacher Pickett, the Independent candidate for Congress in the 9th dis trict, wag making short cuts through the district, headed him off at Maysville yes terday where the preacher was already billed, lie has a novel way of notifying the people of his appointments, lie has a little band bill and sends them in advance by a long, lean, lank fallow named Williams Thii advance agent goes on first, and keeps a day ahead of Pickett. He has walked all the way from Cherokee county and says that he will bill the preacher through the mountains If his leg* hold ont. Pickett spoke Thursday at Harmony Grove, and was answered by Mr. Wm. l indlev, a lawyer of Gainesville. Mr. Findley also was at Maysville to refute the statements made against CoL Candler *>y this Independent There is very little argument in Mr. Pickett’s speech. He amuses the crowd with a few tales and aaya -hat he can <lo as well in Congreaa as Candler. He > s » man of very good address but is a loog way off when he thinks he will get to Congreaa.

But sweeter than these—than all—is a well cooked barbecue.” Such was the case yesterday at the beautiful pine grove in the rear of Dr. Lyndon's residence on Jackson street. It was a fitting place for a barbecue and a fitting occasion for the entertainment. Dr. Lyndon had taken a contract where by he would loose $20 per day if the work was not finished promptly on tho 10th day of September. Dr. Lyndon knew that it would take big work to finish, but depending on his head workman and contractor, Mr. D. M. Kenney, he undertook the job, and promised his bands a barbecue if they finished on time. Mr. Kenney, who acknowledges no superior as a builder or how to man age hands, let the boys know that good bar becued pork, fat sputtering sheep, kid roasted to a turn, lager beer fresh front the arctic ice house, wine of the vintage of 1840 and old Bourbon whisky that was under bond twenty years ago, would be forthcoming if the job was finished on time. The hsnds done their duty end true to * promise Dr. Lyndon filled his rorniso to the letter. Several of Dr. .yndon’s friends together with his hands assembled at the beautiful grove in the rear of his home, when B. Brown had the meat all cooking, and two long tables stretched for the accommodation of the guests. Every one present was in good trim for the occibion, and quite a number of ladies made their appearance. After everyone ate their fill Dr. Lyn don was called on and made a good ad dress to his hands and to his friends, who had honored him with their pres ence. He said that there was nopolitl cal significance in giving a barbecue to his friends, bnt it was on acconnt of the faithful work of those that had assisted him in a big undertaking. Dr. Lyndon's speech was well received and loudly applauded by all. Hon. H. C. Tack well known as the silver tongned orator of Buck Branch was called for. Dr. Crawford and CoL C. W. Baldwin after removing all the dishes to keep Mr. Tuck’s No 11 feet lrom interfering with the crockery, helped him to the stand, and for a few minutes Mr. Tnck awekaned the echoes in the pines with bia accustomed elo- qnence. Mr. D. M. Kenny the Snpt of Dr. Lyn don’s constructing department, being called on mounted the table and for somatime held the audience apell-bonnd with the magnitude of the undertaking. Mr. Kenney made a good impression on his hands and they will atick to him on many a hard job. It was altogether a happy occurrence, and all went hAme well repaid for their visit to Dr. Lyndon's barbecue.

I had my case treated by sev eral prominent physicians, but received but little, if any relief. I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines, spending g large amount of money, but yet getlina no better. My attention was attracted by the cures s>id to have been effected by B. B.

This is an infallible test for the “absolutely pure” baking powders, the supplementary rising power of which resides in the harsh and caustic chemical “Am monia, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder Is free from am monia, lime, slum and every other Injurious substance.
