The enterprising proprietor of the Athens

deserve, a large drug trade throughout
Georgia and South Carolina. Their He

entire satisfaction both in price and quality.

Maj. J. 11. Skelton has as fine looking

Dr. Mathew’s horse ran away with his

On last Saturday, from early morn till
dewy eve, E. B. Benson A Co.’s store was
literally packed with customers, and a
large portion of the sales were made for
cash. Wonder if advertising was not the
cause of this rush for new goods. The
liberal advertiser is a liberal man, the libe
rel man is a liberal merchant. Test it.
Farmers in this section arc very busy,
and the gardens are looking finely. In a
short time we expect we cannot turn
around in our office without stumbling
over Irish potatoes and English peas. A
few onions, lettuce, and radishes would not
go amiss now just to start the tiling, you
know. You have no idea how we relish
strawberries.
Every day and every mail brings us new
subscribers. We could easily fill our lit
tle paper with advertisements, but we
never admit one unless we are satisfied the
parties are worthy of patronage, and then
they must be short and to the point. We
are no old fogies and don’t want to insert
them unless beneficial to both advertiser
and readers.
“Oh, don't, Mr. Dooly, don't shoot that
dog!” said a man the other day.
“Why?” said Marshal Dooly, as he
lowered his gun.
**lt looks so brutal to treat human flesh
in such a cruel manner—think of its father
and mother, brothers and sisters !”
“If 1 had known lie was one of your
family, I would have hung him before
now !” said Marshal Dooly, as he popped
him over.
The Darwinian smole a ghastly smile.
Gratuitous Advice.
Some of our readers think we do not
soar as high and dive as deep in politics as
we ought for a Democratic paper. We re
ply that we receive the New York, Georgia
and Carolina dailies, and give extracts of
interest from them in that line, much bet
ter than the average country editor can
write, and will always keep our patrons
posted m all important items worth read
ing. Our aim is to cater to the tastes of all
in news, fun, religion, agriculture poetry
and useful household receipts, and to make
our paper a welcome visitor to every fire
side, and to encourage the young people to
cultivate a taste for reading.
The Kinging;
In the M. E. Church on last Sabbath was
well organ- ized, being no less than three
organs pumping out music—as the soldier
would say—in one time and three motions.
A large crowd was in attendance, the mu
sic delightful, and altogether the occasion
was enjoyable. Messrs. I)yar and Vickery
were highly complimented by a gentleman
woo had heard the famous Sankey. He
said their singing was only second to that
great vocalist. We hope the above gentle
men will make Hartwell many visits.
Why couldn't a singing class be made up
in our midst?
Eitrkin (Turk
Is one of the veterans, and one of the
best farmers in the County. We heard
him telling a tale yesterday of his travels
in the mountains in his young days, when
ho was a vendor of clocks. Amongst
other things, he staid all night at a place
where they cooked the greens in the whole
leaves, and when done flopped them out of
the pot by the stems on the table, ami all
ate them by the word of mouth without
knives, forks or plates.
The landlady cursed her husband all
night for buying two clocks from the d—d
peddler. When her husband remarked the
stranger couldn’t sleep on account of her
fuss, she said, “ I don't care a d—n. I’m
mad !”
The next morning, to please the woman,
lie had to rue bis bargain and take one of
his clocks back.
SIIIIIIII3.
Rev. Mr. Hyde, Presbyterian, from S.
C., gave our people a good sermon at the
Methodist Church. Presbyterians never
turn loose upon the world a spiritual guide
and counsellor who is not thoroughly edu
cated and trnined for the ministry.
Rev. E. G. Murrali. of Oglethorpe,
preached at night to a large congregation.
As our Hart County readers know him. it
is unnecessary to say he did well. Why
is it that people turn out so much better at
night to preaching than they do in the day?
Dr. Murrain on account of physical inabil
ity, does not preach regularly. Being one of
the best Dentists in the South, he earns his
bread, and is not ranked with the super
annuates. lie visits Anderson this week
professionally. We can recommend him.
11. C. EildiiiKS.
Of Gainesville, Florida, was in town last
week. Although he seems to stand tire
sand and alligators of Florida extremely
well, yet he cannot refrain from visitingthe
snow-capped hills of his mountain home.
C'ou viola.
Messrs. Editors : As there is a con
vict now at work on the streets of Hart
well, we would in connection with the
same, call your attention to another matter
connected with our roads.
On the hill going to the creek, on the
road from Hartwell to Toccoa, just on the
other side of Mr. B. Herring’s, there is a
place that might be very much remedied
with some work.
All who travel it have not failed to no
tice, that about ten or fifteen feet right at
the top of the hill on this side of the creek
there is an exceedingly steep place, and we
venture to say it is a steeper pull than any
other hill in the County.
By a little work this could be cut down
five or ten feet, which would entirely rem
edy this and would be of value to the en
tire County, and would greatly facilitate
travel and hauling to and from Toccoa.
I should think when this convict is up
a little with his work on the streets of
Hartwell, he could be put at w r ork for
couple of weeks at this place, and if neces
sary a subscription might be taken up to
pay his board while working there. K.
Solvent Debt*.
Messrs. Editors: The law requires
tax payers to pay on all solvent debts. Is
any one solvent who is not worth the
amount they owe over and above the
Homestead? We think not. None are
solvent who cannot be made to pay accord
ing to law. VVe will admit that there are
thousands of men and women that are
worth nothing who are honest and honor
able and pay more promptly than rich peo
ple, but then the creditor takes the risk
without a guarantee from the State, and
Georgia is not entitled to tax on consider
tions that she gives no protection to. Let
the Constitution—if anew one is made—
protect the rights of all her citizens, then
you will see a prosperous people.

Messks. Editors : As I am a little girl
going to school to Mr. Bobo at Pleasant
Hill, I will tell you about our School. It
numbers thirty-three at this time. We
have a lively routine of studies, consisting
of spelling, reading, the Spencerian sj'stem
of penmanship, grammar, geography, latin
and algebra. The young men have an in
teresting debating society, which meets
weekly on Friday nights. This School will
close the eighth of -June. The health of
this neighborhood is not very good. Mr.
Jackson Brown's family has the typhoid
fever.

An original traveller describes this busy
scene, witnessed on historic shores : “Our
steamer landed on a beach which was the
port of Antioch, where the disciples were
first called Christians. There was no town
at the water’s edge, no people, no wharf.
The passengers and the merchandise were
put ashore in lighters, which ran up into
the sand. A troop of camels, with their
drivers, lay on the beach, ready to transfer
the goods into the interior. Among the
articles landed were boxes marked Du.
(’. Ayer A Cos., Lowell. Mass., U. S.A.,
showing that they contained medicines and
whence they came. These with other
goods were hoisted on the backs of camels,
for transportation to Antioch. Thus the
skill of the West sends back its remedies
to heal the maladies of populations that
inhabit those eastern shores, whcnco our
spiritual manna came.” —Windsor (Ft.)
Chronicle.

One of the best indications of the South
and prosperity of Charleston is to be found
at the establishment of I. 11. Hall & Cos.,
located at Nos. 2,4, (I, 8 Market and 223 A
220 East Bay Streets. The rapidly in
creasing business last year of this firm has
induced them to enlarge their establishment
which now supplies every conceivable ar
ticle that can be required In the building of
a house, from a baluster to any size tim
ber. Our friends in the city and through
out the country who contemplate building
a house can be supplied with all the mate
rial necessary for its construction. Such
as Sash. Doors, Blinds, Paints, Oils, Hard

Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, Ac. Every family should
have a bottle of Bokchek's German Sy
rup. Don't allow for one moment that
cough to take hold of your child, your fam
ily or yourself. Consumption, Asthma,
Pneumonia, Croup, Hemorrhages and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much
better to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One Bottle will last your
whole family a winter and keep you safe
from danger. If you are consumptive, do
not rest until you have tried this remedy.
Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75
cents. Sold by your Druggist, E. B. Ben
son A Cos.
