Daniel Hill, an old colored man about
seventy years of age, formerly owned by

He had been affficted with dropsy of the

he was suffering at the time of his horrible
death. He was lying on a pallet in front of

down upon him. He lingered until the

released from his agony. He was an hon
est old man, beloved by his former master
and the entire family.
Religions.
Prof. Hvde preached according to an
nouncement in the Methodist Church last
Sabbath evening, from sth chapter, Bth
verse, 2d Timothy. His discourse was pro
found and interesting, showing the impor
tance of family religion, and its bearing
upon the community, the Church, and the
country; the great responsibility resting
upon the heads of families; and the terri
ble denunciation pronounced upon those
who are recreant in the performance of
their duty in this respect. The congrega
tion was large and attentive.

He is running a first-class saw mill and
turns out excellent lumber. His terms
and prices will be found moderate. He is
a young man of energy, industry and pro
gression, and deserves and receives a libe
ral patronage. You can have your corn
ground at this mill also, under his personal
supervision. He guarantees satisfaction.
A\ e return our sincere thanks to him for
recent favors.

This gentleman returned to Atlanta
Monday morning. Ilis business qualifica

will be duly appreciated in his new field of
action. While it is with deep regret we
see him leave us, yet we hope for him the
greatest success. He will be sadly missed,
as his endeavors has always been to build
up the interests of his County. He will
visit us frequently, and that is some satis

To the Editors ok The Sun :
I trust the following will not be consid
ered out of time and place in your columns.
Owing to the excessive cold winter, our
prnver-meeting was abandoned for a few
weeks. 1 wish to say to the iuhabiUuls
of our town that our Wednesday night
meeting hafc been resumed, with but few in
attendance as yet. The lectures delivered
bv our pastor are full of pathos—enough
to incite in the willing hearer a fervent de
sire to secure a home in Heaven. 1 am
sure those absenting themselves, wantonly
are great losers. Let me urge all who can
to give ns their presence, believing that
the remembrance of these occasions will
add to our joy in the world to come. To
believe that memory will have much to do
with our existence hereafter, we have but
to read the history of Dives. Then, dear
readers, if we would have our memories
serve us profitably let us improve all the j
means of grace given us; by so doing we
may learn the depth of the riches both of
the wisdom and knowledge of God ! llovv
unsearchable are his judgments, and his
ways past finding out. Come, friends, let
us meet, sing, talk and pray, and we will
have God’s approbation and the qualifica
tions necessary for the various functions of
this life, with the happy assurance of a
blessed immortality beyond the grave.
Devout.

Athens, Ga., Feb. 15, 1877.
TothhEditors of The Sun:
Being a constant reader of your excel
lent paper, I claim the right to indulge a
few remarks by way of criticism on that
"choice bit of rhyme," which appeared in
The Sun of February 7th. A decent re
spect for the reputation of such poets as
Moore and Byron, coupled with a philan
thropic love for the female sex, prevents
me from remaining silent, seeing the fash
ions of the fair ones ridiculed in such
rhyme as would cause the blush of indig
nation to rise upon the check of a country
school boy. It is indeed very surprising
that the writer of that "bit of choice
rhyme” should have found out so much
concerning the fashions of that sex which
he so poetically ridicules. While I do not
propose to make him smart under the se
verities of a harsh criticHsm. yet 1 do think
.AiouM StrfTei foMiis precocity. 1
havf heard of the " shabby genteel,” but
until 1 saw this miserable attempt at
rhyme, I never dreamed of such a thing as
the shabby poetical. I would advise the
writer to " fold his tent and steal silently
away.” I know he feels as if he had ri
valled the master-piece of Bryant, but I
must say to him that his “bit of choice
rhyme ” is enough to cause every true
lover of good English to regret that such a
piece was ever written in his native vernac
ular. Young man, I say what Ido in a
spirit of kindness and think that, I shall
confer on you a great favor ; for I am sure
if some kind friend did not remind j r ou of
your miserable failure at verse-making you
would soon be writing nonsense enough to
bore all the readers of The Sun.
Poet, in conclusion, I trust that in fu
ture, all the ladies will—
“ Their hack* upon you turn,
Ajul cause your heart to burn."

There is no medicine prescribed by phy
sicians, or sold bv Druggists, that carries
such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Boschee's German Syrup for
severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast.
Consumption, or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that
any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bot
tle for 10 cents and try its superior effect
before buying the regular size at 7o cents.
It has lately been introduced in this coun
try from Germany, and its wonderful cures
are astonishing every one that use it. Three
doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold

Cherry Pectoral
For Diseases of the
ftfj.tM. Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds,
|| pin ® Cough,
Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
The reputation it has attained, In consequence of
the marvellous cures it has produced during tho
last half century, is a sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happiest
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known ,who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the iungs, by its uso.
All who have tried it,acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affec
tions. Cherry Pectoral always affords in
stant relief, and performs rapid cures of tho
milder varieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
Asa safeguard to children, amid the distress
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of
Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing arc too re
markable to be forgotten. No family should bo
without it, and those who have once used It
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.
