This neat little plant from the garden of Tommie S. Hubert, Warrenton. Ga.. is upon our table. With good seasons, it will soon be a fine cabbage. Warrenton is well blessed with Ham and Collards. We hope they are not troubled with worms or skippers. The Justice Court For the I.llßth District G. M. will here after be held on the Fourth Saturday in each month.

Simmon's Hepatic Compound or Liver Cure is one of the best liver medicines made, and for the various diseases it claims to cure there is no better remedy. Manu factured and for sale by Dowie & Moise, wholesale druggists, Charleston, S. C., who will till all orders sent them at ex ceedingly low figures. They get, as they deserve, a large drug trade throughout Georgia and South Carolina. Their He patic Compound is sold all over the United States. Eddleman & Brown, shoe and boot man ufacturers, Atlanta. They also deal in leather, shoe findings, and keep a large stock of Eastern-made work. Country merchants who deal in Atlanta should visit their establishment by all means. We know what we are talking about having bought several bills from them which gave entire satisfaction both in price and quality. See notice of dissolution of Peek, Ste phenson & Cos. See notice of dissolution of the Hartwell Steam Saw Mill Company. Nun liny*. “ Hero the first whip-poor-will’s song.” A good move—working in the Cemetery. New Irish potatoes arc abundant in our place. Measles in Anderson. S. C., is Watts the matter. A covey of patndges trotted through the square Saturday evening. The prospect is very battering now for a ! good wheat crop in this County. Ornamental and plain stencils cheap— | ink and brush. J. M. PressneL. Yesterday morning was quite cool, and lircs were in demand. No frost, however. Read the interesting communication on the proper use of guano, on our first page. Judge Jno. G. McCurry is eating green peas at his house. The Judge is an earlv gardener. We are credibly informed that a citizen of this County has a hen that lays two eggs a day. Services conducted at Bethesda la*t Sab bath by quite a number of ministers—Fore of the Baptist and two of the Methodist. Marshal Dooly lias killed dogs enough in the last two weeks to start a guano factory. It is saiil that one dog will scent brick dust, ashes and sand enough to make a ton. A gentleman brought to our office to-day some peaches that measured over three inches in circumference. There were such a number of them that the tree was broken down from the weight. Maj. J. 11. Skelton has as fine looking red clover as ever was seen in the valley of Virginia. So says an old soldier who knows something about clover and Vir ginia, from a four years tramp through that section with the boys in grey. Dr. Mathew’s horse ran away with his buggy last week, tearing up the harness and smashing the buggy to smithereens. No one was in the buggy. Moral—get a boy to hold your horse when you go to ex perimenting with the •* blue glass ” theory. 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. Citizen. Communicated. 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. Dr. Barter's Iron Tonic is adapted to all circumstances and situations, re quires no change of diet, particular regimen, or care against taking cold. Sold by E. B. Benson & Cos., As A REMEDY for Indigestion, Liver Disturbance, Nervous Debility, Constipa tion, Languor, Headache, and all irregular ities of the bowells, Dr. Harter's Elixir of Wild Cherry stands without a rival in the world. Sold by E. B. Benson & Cos. 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. rail, Worth It non iii|f. 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.
