morning at 11 o’clock. Yonr corres

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. Sensible man that

A tract of land containing 1,000.000

sold for $1,000,000. The deed recorded
contains 25,000 worda.
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

animal takes to water even more kindly
than a spaniel. He will go into the
water on his own account and seems to
enjoy it hugely. Like a dog lie will

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

There is very little argument in Mr.
Pickett’s speech. He amuses the crowd

Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog bark,
Bay deep mouth welcome as we draw
near home;
Tis sweet to know there is an eye our
coming will mark
And shine brighter when we come.
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.

quickly smell the stifling odor of amnioniacal gas arising
therefrom.' This is an infallible test for the “absolutely

Sore Throat,, with severe Cough,
for a number of years past, and I
have tried a great many of the most
popular remedies known to the
public or the profession, some
mitigating the disease more and
some less. I was finally induced to
try the preparation known as
Hunnicutt’s Throat And Lung
Cure,which I have used frequently
of late, and 1 find it a most excellent
medicine.
Indeed, I do not hesitate to say
that I have derived more benefit
from it than I have from any or all
the other preparations.
In case of Sore Throat it is
especially fine. When in [that
