that was in session when I last wrote

one of the most interesting gatherings
I ever participated in. During the
seven days which the meeting lasted,
twelve were baptized and seven re¬
stored. The meeting closed with a
great deal of interest manifested in it
by all who attended. 1 must extend

our many thanks; also, in behalf of

to himself the good will and esteem of

Sad Death.
Editor Journal: Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to speak
of the sad death of Miss Lfttira Clark,
who was born Arigttst 22d, 1868, and
departed this life July 9th, 1887.
When ft child she evinced those pe¬
culiar traits of love which endeared
her to dii wlio knew her. She became
& member of the A: M. E. Church
three years ago, and since that time
has lived a consistent member of the
same. When death cante she said she
was ready ftnd wilting to go, and re¬
quested those around to meet her in
Heaven, whither she was going to
meet her Savior.
Her funeral was attended at the A.
M. E. church on Sunday, 3:30 p. nu
clcler Harris making some brief re¬
marks. from Job 14:10; after Which
her remains were Interred in Eastman
eetoetery.
The bereaved family have the heart¬
felt sympathy of the community.

The attention of the public, and es¬
pecially that of parents and guardians,
is directed to the advertisement of this

that mi tuber will doubtless bo largely
increased at .the fall term; which
opens September 5, and closes Decem¬
ber 23d. Prbf. King is a most excel¬
lent teacher; and has testimonials to
this effect from the best colleges in the
South. Tho following from Dr. A. J.
Battle, Presidont of Mercer Universi¬
ty, shows tho high standing of Prof.
King:
“Tho undersigned takes pleasure in
bearing testimony to tho superior
qualifications of Prof. Paleinon J. King
as a classical and mathematical teach¬
er, cessful as evidenced by his long and suc¬
High School, career as Principal of Hcnrnc
the excellent preparation Cave Spring, Ga., and by
of the many

versity. Among the very best students
we have had, were prepared bv Prof.

siring a competent teacher ot ancient

uable acquisition.”

KilliiaK in Cochran.
A sad tragedy occurred in oirr sis¬
ter town of Cochran on the morning
of the 6lh inst. Messrs. R. E. Nichols
and J. II. Marcliman, both citizens of
that place, quarreled about a business
maitcr, and words brought on blows.
Nichols struck Marcliman over the
head with a hoavy stick, fracturing
the skull, and from the effects of
which he died in the afternoon of the
same day, about 4 o’clock. The affair
is deeply regretted by the friends of
both parties. There seems to have
been no intention on the part of Nich¬
ols to do Marcliman serious injury.—
They had both been warm friends up
to a few moments before tlie blow was
struck. Marcliman was the constable
ot his district, and leaves a large aud
helpless family. Nichols is an ex
,mayor of the town, and a member of
the present board of aldermen.
Wc learn that a verdict ot involun¬
tary manslaughter was rendered by
the coroner’s jury.

A writer in the Savannah News
of the 6th lust, puts in some strenuous
complaints against the present night

night lilies, either north or south¬
bound, at any station except Cochran*

“This,” he says, “is not only a great
inconvenience to tlie commercial trav
eler, but to the traveling public gener¬
ally. The complaints contained in the
article arc well-timed and true, but
as tlie illy-arranged schedule cannot
be changed by “tiic traveling public,”
it will remain as it is until the man

Wo regretted to learn of the death
of Mrs. I)r. Rogers last week. The
Dr. has our sympathy in his sad be¬
reavement, Mrs. Rogers died of
paralysis. She was not over fifty
years old when she died. Her son,
J. E. Rogers, is our tax collector.
Spring Ilill is a little lonely siqce
commencement. The boarders have
all left as well as some of the citizens,
temporarily.
Temporarily sevcrnLof our citizens
have been slightly iiulisnoscd for a

ed at tli is writing.
Mrs. Sarah Browning, twin sister
of Mrs. Jane Wootten, deceased, has
been quite ill with dysentery at the
home of her son-in-law, G. M. C.
Burkhaltcr, for several days. She is
improving slowly.
Miss May Goodman, daughter of
Dr. Goodman, now of Berrien county,
was here at the commencement. Mr.
Ed Smith and daughters, of Jackson¬
ville, were here, and a great many of
the best eitizensofthissectioriofeoun
trv, as well as sevcial from a distance
were here.
We arc blessed with plenty of rain
and good crops generally.
Watermelon growers arc busy ship¬
ping melons from Towns. Several
ear loads have already gone forward.
We learn that Mr. J. Clayton Clem¬
ents sold a car-load on car for seventy
dollars net last week, lie planted
live acres, and has another half car¬
load or more to ship. Probably noth
ing else planted on the five acres
would have netted as much money.
Other parties held at a hundred dol
lars per car-load.
Farmers tell us that guano has paid
heifer on crops this year than it drd
before. It must be genuine this time
and not spurious as many have argu¬
ed hcretolore.
Rev. T. T. Christian urged the ne¬
cessity of improvement to the academy
building here, aud lie thought it would
be wise to build a boarding house for
tlie accommodation of boarders.
Our people arc now strained in an
effort to build a church edifice, tlie
foundation of which is already laid,
and a part of tho frame is already on
tiic ground. We are not informed as
to who tlie builders arc, or when tiic
work is to begin on the church.
As soon as the money can be raised
tiic necessary improvements on tiic
academy should be looked after.

In Brief, and to the Po-jjpL
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Ihdigestio:t is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of tlie most complicated ami woih
devful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery,- mental woffjy late
Ixonrs, irregular habits,- and rtiarfy
otlrcr things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a na¬
tion of dyspeptics.
But Green’s Augrist Flower frits
done a wonderful work in reformirig
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.

Continuing our tour ot investiga¬
tions we in turn visited tho mercan¬
tile establishments of Messrs. L. H.
Neaso and Matt Cook, finding ciiclt
prepared with excellent stocks of
goods, all only lacking to be
hoi aided through tlie Journal col¬
umns to place them in demand.
We had tlie pleasure of renewing the
acquaintance of Dr. W. M. Ryals, iii
whom wc found a polished young gen¬
tleman, and in whom we predict Lum¬
ber City and country contiguous will
alike find a valuable aequsition in
times when stricken by disease. Be¬

Stock of drugs and such toilet and fan¬
cy articles as arc usually kept in con¬
nection therewith* we are convinced
that lie is a fixture among the godd
people of the Lumber City bailiwick.
While here we somewhat increased
tiic Journal’s subscription list, and
were also favored with an advertise¬
ment of l r j, T. Sheftall, wfio is pre¬
pared at ail hours to furnish convey¬
ances to drummers and other# ih deed

stock, and withal is accommodating.
As a matter of course wc put up at
the McLeod house, Where We received
a quid pro qud in (lie mattercf accom¬
modations for the money expended.
This house is admirably conducted,
and was lacking upon Qur visit alone
in t he essential particular of the smiles
of the genial landlord.

message was the following ;
“Tell the oditor of the Dispatch to

well and strong.”
Perhaps we may accept Mr. .Tones’
