local affairs. ..<>. Abnlom— **“• **> * on *” Cant. J. L. Johnson, of this metropolis, was elected doorkeeper, by acclamation, for the Convention, and we are glad. Hut they will call him Absalom down in At lanta, although wo never knew him to be hung by the hair, or otherwise, and hope he never shall. Nu<l4lcn Denll*. Little Jessie, daughter of our friend, I*. H Bowers, died on the 14th instant. She was about 3 years old, and her death caused the greater shock on account of her very short illness. Our sincere sympathy is with the bereaved. This but adds an other attraction to draw the parents to that beautiful land of rest. Collin'N Bees. Our readers have doubtless heard of Collin’s ram, and perhaps they would like to know something of Collin’s bees. Mr. Wyatt Collins, one of our most energetic farmers, has a gum of bees that he claims lays in the shade those of Lieutenant Rob erts and Squire Cunningham. The swarm came out of the old gum the 10th day of May. and they have literally filled the gum and arc going ahead making honey under neath the bench. Religion!* Meetings. Rev. W. P. Smith, pastor of the M. E. Church at this place, assisted by Rev. \V. A. Hodges, of South Carolina, have been carrying on a series of very interesting meetings during the last ten days. Much good has been accomplished and we hope it is the dawn of a better day in this com munity. Thirteen members have been added to the Church. We have never seen more serious congregations, and there seems to be a determination among all to improve upon their ways. Served Them Right. A white boy and a negro boy decoyed a little child under a bush that had a hornet nest in it last week, and then disturbed them, and the infuriated insects stung the poor child terribly. John F. McMullan, grandfather of the child, upon meeting the wantonly wicked hoys, gave each one a genteel thrashing that they will be likely to remember. They should have been stripped stark naked and made to stand under that bush until they could not stand under it. Miss Annie Jortlan. This highly cultured and gifted young lady left our town yesterday for Atlanta, followed by the kind wishes and blessings of many friends, who regret exceedingly to give her up. Asa teacher of piano mu sic she has few equals in this State and no superior. When Hartwell gets another teacher like Miss Annie they will pay well for her. May the flowers of prosperity and acknowledged worth shower upon her pathway. “ Adieu, adieu ! a fond warm heart’s adieu !” Our School. As will be seen by advertisement, the Hartwell High School will open on Mon day, July 23d. Parents, guardians and pupils will find it to their advantage to commence at the opening of the School, so that every scholar can have a fair start in their classes. Young men, boys and girls who wish to improve themselves and pos sess an education, can find no better school in Georgia. Prof. Looney and lady have just return ed from a pleasant and refreshing vacation trip, and circumstances have caused them to commence school earlier than announced at the examination. Hogocornolog'y. “ Shabby shoat ” formerly meant a mean, trifling fellow, or a lank, lousy, lean pig. Two of the latter shabby shoats passed a grocery store in this town, when a clerk threw out a handful of corn to them which they smelled and passed on. Now the book lately sent out free to folks who do not raise hogs, by the Ilogocornological Bureau, recommends corn as good food for hogs, and it does seem like when we were a boy we saw farmers in Georgia feed it to ho>-s. The present indications are that the corn crop in this section will be a large one, and if our folks would commence with the pigs, they might teach them to cat it by the time they grew up to be hogs. It is worth a trial anyway. Sell and Foster. The firm composed of Major Ed. Lmer ick Sell and Capt. Charles Foster, claim to be the oldest house in their line in Charles ton. Both partners .are true Southern gentlemen, and did their whole dutj r for the “Lost Cause.” Their building, No. 27 Ilayne Street, is four stories high, each floor 20x100 feet. The lower floor is their main store, where are displayed in great variety notions of all sorts and kinds; a large array of clocks, from the cheapest to the most expensive. Second story is de voted to white goods and ribbons unsur passed in the South. I bird floor is devo ted to millinery, and here can be seen the manufacture of those delicate bits of head- I gear, destined to become the crowning (glory of beauty in all parts of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. In the fourth story are stored an immense number of bandboxes and other articles required in the trade. Merchants and strangers visiting the city, should not fail to give them a call. Nun Kiiya. Three cheers for Jim Johnson ! Fine prospect for plenty of hog and hom iny this fall. The date on our outside should be 18 in stead of 17. lion. James Allen has corn with six shoots to the stalk. 11 dozen oats, raised on James Gaines* farm, made ‘2O bushels. We have been blest with fine rains, and corn and cotton looks well. If necessary, we will procure an extra room for peaches that may be sent in. A gentleman in this County only uses two letters to spell his name —Bob Bobo. We arc glad to learn that Rev. W. L. Fore is improving. 11c has been very sick for some weeks. McGinty has commenced work on the jail, which is being pushed forward with great rapidity. It will be very secure. When you are in Athens, don't fail to visit Davis’ Premium Gallery—besides being the most interesting place in the city, it is the largest and finest Gallery in the State, and makes the best work. Reader ! if you have the Ague, go and buy a bottle of Dr. Harter's Fever and Ague Specific (it will only cost you 75 cents). We assure you that it will cure you. Sold by E. B. Benson & Cos. A Partner, with capital of $1,500, is wanted at Davis’ Premium Gallery in Athens. This is a fair opening for a young man to engage in a largely established and lucrative business. Thousands of cases that have been pronounced incurable have been cured by Dr. Harter’s Fever and Ague Spe cific. Sold by E. B. Benson & Cos. Dr. Sorrels says there is a good deal of sickness in his neighborhood among the children principally “soldier’s double quick.” W. R. Holland shot a blue crane on Shoal Creek last week that measured six feet from tip to tip of wing, and 4 ft. 8 in. from toe to point of bill. Magnum Bonum Epluribustum, is the is the name we will give the huge corn stalk, measuring about seven inches in circumference, now on exhibition in our office, from the crop of Jas. 0. Slater, on Jno. McMullan's plantation. It grew on creek bottom hand that has been cleared for 50 years, and has never been manured. Freshets don’t injure the land, however. It is thought that a spot, not more than an acre, will yield 50 bushels of corn this fall. A Handy Table. Cut this out and preserve for future ref erence.

Bob Toombs is too hot-headed, some folks say, or words to that effect. But if he will feed us as well on laws as he did on provisions while we were with him in the army, I. for one, will be satisfied. Some folks say that Bob Toombs fought the Confederacy towards the last of the war, but I don't exactly agree with them. In 18G4, when Savannah and the southern portion of the State was threatened with invasion, he made up a brigade of old men and boys to go there and defend it, while the regular soldiers were engaged else where. Perhaps about that time Bob Toombs spoke rather unpleasantly about the man or men who tried to leak out of the Southern States with the golden con tents of the Confederate Treasury at the close of the war. Perhaps Bob Toombs said some hot words about the judicial and financial department of the Confederacy. Perhaps he didn’t like for soldiers to fight a month for enough paper money to buy them one good square meal. I remember fighting at eleven dollars a month, and paying five dollars a pound for pork when I was hungry. May be Bob Toombs did not like that. 1 think it was time for hot words, hot-headedness, or anything you please to call it. It was hot weather, hot ter marching and the hottest fighting ; but no Confederate gold ever burnt in our pockets. The gold captured at the close of the war would make many a poor or- I phan and widow feel better to day. It would have made their burdens lighter, and their prayers more earnest when the days looked gloomy and the fight waxed hot test. 1 may not agree to everything Bob Toombs says or does now ; but 1 know one thing, I would have followed wherever he lead while I was in his command, and I believe he would have lead on into hades if he could have saved the Southern States from defeat by so doing. 1 hope those that cast stones at Bob Toombs in the future, will be entirely in nocent themselves. Harry. Betnusda Academy, July 1(1, 1577. Messrs. Editors : Please allow me to say through your worthy paper, that Prof. S. M. Bobo is teaching at the above School, which numbers about forty scholars. Tlu* best of it is, he has the best control over his scholars I ever saw. The road is hardly left going to or from School. No orchards arc plundered nor stock hurt. It would do you good to come down some Friday, and hear the little boys and girls spell. Then you would know the reason Mr. Bobo loves to teach in this neighborhood. Be sides the people all think a great deal of Bobo as a teacher. W. L. Fore. Picnic at Holland's More. Allow me a small space in your valuable columns to give your readers a few dots concerning the picnic at Holland's Store. Leaving home on the morning of the 14th, we arrived at the scene of action at 11 I*. M., and found the grove in rear of the Store literally filled with the most charm ing ladies and gentlemen that Anderson County affords. In the forenoon, the crowd entertained themselves by playing croquet and various other games. About 1 o'clock, dinner was announced. Oh, me, such a dinner as they did have 1 But 1 don't think they had any too much, as there was nothing left but a few pieces of biscuit, which a young lady with brown eyes and peach-bloom cheeks, carried off in her duster pocket. Dinner being over, the most delightful dance was inaugurated that we ever witnessed, and the dust that was raised threw a halo of glory over the “ light fantastics ” that made one feel that it was good to be there, Mr. A. M. Hol land was in the best of spirits , and pre sided over the occasion with a politeness and elegance that would have made Lord Chesterfield look cloudy. A.
