Another Mall
The mail from Carnesvillc to Elbcrton
now goes down on Wednesdays instead of
Thursdays as heretofore. So the offices
supplied by our private route on Thursdays
will hereafter be supplied on W ednesdays
—the day of publication. This puts us to
some inconvenience, but we hope our
friends at Elbcrton, Amandaville, Eagle
Grove, Bowersvillc, Ford's Store and
Parker's Store will show their appreciation
by adding still more to our subscription
list at these places. Offices above Bowers
ville on the Elberton and Carnesvillc route
will be supplied Thursdays. Every week
brings us from the above offices new names,
which we of course are glad to see. At
Eagle Grove, our friend S. T. Fleming is
doing us a good work in the way of getting
new subscribers. Will not Postmasters at
other offices see if they can't help us some
in the same manner ?
Fire.
On last Sunday, a negro woman’s house
near Daniel's Ferry, was burned. Every
thing in the house was destroyed.
ltev. W. P. Smith.
At the M. E. Church on Sunday, read and
explained the general rules of the Society
in a very satisfactory manner to his
hearers. Mr. Smith is a great favorite
with our people ; but we fire afraid to say
much in his favor, for fear those in author
ity over him might send him to Fannin or
the Okelinokee Swamp next year.
Kcw Baud Wagon.
Hartwell was made happy a few days
ago, by a serenade from the String Band,
drawn in their new wagon (Dr. Skelton's
double-seated buggy) by a fine span of
steers, harnessed like horses. The music
was good and all seemed to enjoy it, even
to the Oxen.
Ah tMMg ns (lie Lamp Molds Out to

Sarah Cox, aged BG, was baptized at
Falling Creek Church, Elbert County, on
the 6th inst., by ltev. G. M. Campbell.
What a blessed Savior is ours to receive
the repenting sinner even at the eleventh
hour !
Crops.
The wheat crop promises better than any
year sinceMhe war. Spring oats are doing
finely; fall sewing, rather thin—having
been killed out by the hard winter. Cot
ton growing rapidly, with a good stand.
Corn looks well and grows fast. The pros
pect for an abundant fruit crop was never
better in this County. Every bush and
tree that bears fruit or nuts is landened.
With industry and economy, nothing can
prevent poor folks and poor stock from get
ting fat another year.
Luck.
E. B. Benson & Cos., bought a donkey
from a negro, paying for it in goods, and
thinking it a bad investment turned it out
to grass. Monday, they received an order
from a gentleman in Charleston, who saw
by their advertisement that they were deal
ers in “ everything except liquor, playing
cards and tombstones,” for a donkey. The
“little beast” will be shipped immediately.
And now their clerks stand behind the
counter and hail their customers with :
“ Let me wrap you a first-class Jackass !”
Another Little Girl
Writes us from Pleasant Ilill Academy:
Our School is still flourishing. It num
bers thirty. We are still progressing rap
idly in the Spencerian system. The two
little boys that were absent last week have
returned. Little Anna Johnson he?.ds the
minor geography class. Alfred Teasley,
the dictionary class. I am glad to state
that Moses McCurry, who was sent to the
Asylum not long since, is improving, and I
hope will soon be restored to his right
mind. Nora.
Personal.
W. 11. Terrie, from the Wholesale Drug
House of W. IT. Brown & Bro., Balti
more, dropped in upon us last week. We
always buy a bill from him, and would if
he were to come every week, they sell
drugs and medicines cheap as any house in
the United States.
lion. C. 11. Sutton, of Clarksville, can
didate for the Convention, visited our sanc
tum last week. The Judge is an old law
yer of ability, and stands high as an hon
est, upright man, and would ably represent
this District in a Convention for making a
new Constitution, which in all probability
will remain for the next fifty years. Our
readers will see his announcement in this
issue.
S. H. Mosely, of Toccoa, who is also a
candidate for the Convention from this Dis
trict paid us a visit during the week he is a
genial clever fellow with an extensive ac
quaintance through the District, and will
be hard to beat.

Rowland Temples had his foot badly
bruised Monday, by a heavy sill. Silly!
The Hartwell Steam Saw Mill has built
the first railroad in the County. It has a
trestle over ten feet high.
Rowland Hickman killed a wild turkey
last week, weighing *27 pounds. His beard
was I*2 inches long—the turkey's not Hick’s.
Some of the workmen employed to build
the Hartwell jail arrived here yesterday.
They will commence their work immedi

Ex-President U. S. Grant, leaves Phila
delphia in the steamship Indiana to-morrow
for Europe. We hope to secure his servi
ces as war correspondent to our paper (?)
He nas a military turn of mind, and judg
ing from his speeches, his communications
would be short, and to the point.
We saw some beautiful wood carving,
done by Fletcher Kay on the front doors of
W. R. Stephenson’s house. Few boys of
his age can work successfully at three
different trades—and then to see hin walk
ing with the ladies, you would think he
had just popped out of a band-box.
The following conversation was heard on
the street after lamplight:
No. 1. I will pack up my trunk and go
to h—l.
No. 2. Did you sav you were going to
h—l?
No. 1. Yes; is that any of your busi
ness?
No. 2. No; but as I am not going there
1 thought I would like to send a message
by you !
’Tis said that since Bridges Smith's Paper
has been removed to Macon that the citi
zens don't do anything without laughing.
For instance, a man in his dying moments
was asked by the minister if he could do
anything for him. His reply was, “ Read
Bridges Smith's Paper a little, and then
give me a good old fashioned hymn.” The
minister complied. The minister read a
little and got to laughing—the tearful mo
ther-in-law got to laughing, and finally the
dying man could contain himself no longer,
and crying “ Good—by jingo !” burst into
a peal of laughter, and sank back dead,
with the corners of his mouth stretched to
his ears. Now, we don't believe this ; but
if it is so, we don’t think it is right for
Bridges Smith, John Smith, or any other
man, to distract a dying man’s mind so he
can’t attend to his business of dying de
cently and respectably.
Hendry's Chureh.
Last Sunday wc attended services at this
Church. Rev. L. W. Stephens preached
an excellent sermon from Galatians. lie
will preach in Hartwell next second Sun
day at night. We took dinner at Mr.
Williford’s plantation, and had an abun
dance of strawberries. The big rock, half
a mile from there, is quite a curiosity. A
large quarry, in the event of a railroad,
might be made a paying investment there.
Messrs. Brown and Fleming have built a
new storehouse and do a good business in
the thrifty Eagle Grove neigborhood. Mr.
Brown has also erected a commodious
dwelling near the store.
Examination
At the Hartwell High School will take
place on the 18th and 19th of June. An
exhibition will be given each night and a
rare treat in tbe way of oratory and music
may be expected, as Miss Annie Jordan
and pupils in connection with Mr. and Mrs.
Looney, will spare no pains to make the
occasion an enjoyable one. Mr. Looney
and his accomplished lady have used every
effort to improve their pupils, and we have
no doubt but that all will acquit them
selves with great credit—individually and
collectively. A large crowd will be in
attendance. This will close the Spring
session of the High School.
The Kunday School World.
For May appears in a neat cover, into
which is packed the usual number and va
riety of valuable articles found in this ex
cellent Sunday-school monthly— Rev. Chas.
S. Robinson, D. D., treats of “ Lesson
Helps,” Rev. George E. Post, Syria of “ The
Fig Tree,” Rev. Win. Ormiston, D. D.,
sketches the character of “Elisha;” Mrs.
W. F. Crafts explains “ The Kindergarten,”
as applied to Sunday-schools ; Rev. Mosley
H. Williams shows “ How not to keep
scholarsßev. Edwin W. Rice writes of
The Prophetic Books.” Added to these
are Dr. John Hall’s Lessons, Mrs. Knox's
“Primary Talks;” Lessons applied; a
Bible Concert Exercises, and the usual
Editorials, making an interesting, varied
and valuable amount of reading for the
Sunday-school worker which he would find
it difficult to procure elsewhere at three
times the cost of The World.

Editors Sun : You are both young mar
i riod men, and may have the responsibility
of bringing up a lot of boys. If you have
fifty dollars to give one, put it in his head
and not injiis pocket. Paper collars and
“ shoo fly ” neckties pass away, but edu
cation remains as long as breath does in the
body. Learn them to d*> thuir own count
ing. I know a farmer who called on a
merchant in the month of August to pur
chase some bacon on credit until the Ist of
November. Inquiring the price, the mer
chant told him ho would sell to him at Id
cents with interest nt the rate of 15 per
cent until then. The farmer said he could
not think of paying such an “ intrust ,” but
gave another merchant 18 cents without in
terest until November, the time being only
three months. There axe plenty of good
schools in Hart, and a boy could in a few
mouths learn to count per cent, and inter
est. We would like to sec every boy in
this County make his mark, not by making
a cross to a note with a witness attached,
if he should be so unfortunate as to have to
sign one. Petek.
Facta Worth Knowing.
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, 6, 8 Market and 223 A.
225 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
ware, Ac., at prices and quality of work
which will save a large percentage in the
cost of building.
To those who are so unfortunate as to
become prematurely gray, or whose hair
exhibits a tendency to fall off, we recom
mend a trial of Hall's Hair Renewcr. We
do so with the utmost confidence because
it is everywhere received with marked
favor, and has built upon its own merits
such a sure foundation that it is known and
used in all civilized countries.— Addison

<>ood Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, &e. Every family should
have a bottle of Boschee’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
