local affairs. nnii i<' I.ettertnic. We have in our office a glass sign, in vented by D. C. Alford of our county, which exhibits great ingenuity—“ Now you see it now you don't see it.” Bev. A.. Worley. Presiding Elder, preached a most interest ing and searching sermon at the M. E. Church last Thursday evening, in which he showed conclusively that there were a great many hypocrites both in and out of the Church. Extra Flour. We bought 300 pounds of flour from K. 1). Brown, ground at John Maxwell's mill, white as the driven snow and rises higher than a cat's back. Russ had 10 bushels ground, and sold the proceeds in Hartwell for s2l which made him $2.10 per bushel. Old Knfe (ialnm l Made his appearance on Saturday with an other load of watermellons, nothing strange about tliat; but then Rafc can sell you a little knotty mellon, and with his smiles and praises you would imagine you were eating something superior to Augusta or Florida's best 10.000 Musicians Wanted “Who will remit 25 cents each, for a three months trial of the Southern Musical Jvurnal. Three Dollars worth of new and popular music can thus be had for only 25 cents. A trial of this magazine will satisfy every music lover that they want at regularly. Address Ludden & Dates’ Southern Music House. Savannah Ga. Land For Sale. We call especial attention to the excel lent opportunity offered by Mr. M. M. Johnson to those wishing to buy as gooda tract of land as is in this section of the State, with a good dwelling, necessary out houses, good well of water, a fine orchard, vineyard, and in fact everything that is de sirable for comfortable living. Call on, or write to him for full particulars, terms etc. See advertisement. Winter IteeM. James 11. Winter has a stand of bees, in a patent gum, which has not swarmed in three years, but have furnished him with 77 pounds of of real nice honey this sea son, with a bountiful supply left for their support. It was amusing to see Mr. Win ter fighting for the precious treasure. Let us have fewer stands and more honey. Give up your summer bees and try the Winter. CJironlclc Ac ComtUiillonalitt. This is one of the very best papers pub lished in Georgia or any other State, and we have but one objection to it, that is a man who takes it really needs no other. But we don't want everybody to find that out, for fear when we backed a fellow in a fence corner to make him take ours he might throw it up to us. The shadow of its name even would serve as a good shade these hot days to read it under. ——————————————— The High School. The fall session of this School opened on Monday morning, according to announce ment, with a very fair number and under bright auspices. The good crops will en able many to send their children to school who have not felt able hitherto, and we are certain that no better school exists any where than Prof. Looney's. Boarding ac commodations are plentiful in town, and at very fair prices ; so send on your children and have them educated, and fitted to do praisworthy battle in the warfare of life. Thank (>o<t ! For what? Why for the splendid wheat crop, the tine oat crop ; and thank God for the glorious prospect of a good crop o( everything that grows in or out of the earth. If no storm or other disaster be fall the crops, never since the first hoe was stuck in Georgia soil has there been such a crop in this section of the State as there will be this year, and no doubt old Ogle thorpe smiles as he looks down from his lofty abode upon the luxuriantly growing ncrops of the old State ; and if God would only send a shaft of living fire or a streak of sharpest and quickest lightning to kill from the face of the earth all of the #3OOO homesteaders in the Convention, Georgia could hold up an honest head again among the commonwealths of the world. Hartwell Campground. On Monday, the citizens met to clean off the Campground, kill the snakes, and burn up the ticks. The campmeeting will com mence Wednesday the Bth of August, a leisure time for everybody. The merchants, mechanics and others of our town need a little rest, and the campmeeting will be the place, good preaching and old-fashioned Methodist singing are considerable induce ments for people to turn out. After so many blessings, with sunshine and rain, the country looking so beautiful and fresh, who is it that cannot afford to take a few days to worship God and forget the troubles of this world, and in spirit and imagination be wafted to that celestial home of pearly gates and golden streets ► with the sweet music known only to the tmre and blessed ? Nuu Km>n. Rain has been plentiful m this section. See, soldiers, the call of Maj. J. 11. Skelton, 16th Ga., C. S. A. Glass Fruit Jars, quarts and half gallons. For sale by E. B. Denson & Cos. When a man is hungry he means busi ness, see Dr. "Webb's advertisement. The fall session of the Hartwell High School opened Monday with 58 scholars. Rev. Mr. Barton’s sermon in the Bap tist Church Sunday was a masterly effort. Our devil says the /w/clamental law' of the Convention is to stay in session as long as the funds last. Flop Kay is painting the Baptist Church white. College Avenue will then be the most beautiful portion of the city, until the jail is finished. Come, lively now ! The largest water* melon brought to this office by the middle of next month entitles the donor to a copy of this paper for one year. E. B. Benson must certainly think it is all well with him, as he is now having the fourth one dug on his place. We hope when it is finished he can say indeed and in truth “ it is well.” A. G. McCurry & Co.’s excellent tinner, Berry, has returned and is now working at their shop. Those needing anything done in the tin line should bring on their work right away. .Joe Scott says there was only three hun gry dogs at his house Sunday night. He thinks they must be strangers, for no dog that Ls acquainted with him would come to his house for anything to eat. Send round your dog-killer. Hartwell would be a good place for a wholesale grocery business, for many rea sons, and one among them is the sand of various shades in the town. A large profit could be make by mixing with sugar. We have it from the purest white to the yellow “C” brand. The work on the new jail is going on rapidly. The material is all good and Mc- Ginty’s workmen know how to use it. It is refreshing to see such industry as is ex hibited among his hands. We hope the example set by his colored workmen will be followed by their race in this County, many of whom are sadly in need of this trait. KolltiiK In. Billy Crittenden handed in—not Ins checks—but a basket of the biggest yellow cling-stone peaches we have seen in many years. Thanks, Billy, when convenient do so again. Capt. F. S. Roberts passed in a basket of mixed fruit—peaches, pears, apples and wild goose plums. Bless you Captain. Double U G. Double U White brought us some delicious Nectarn plums. Oh, it’s nice to be an editor, and among the typos stand, with watermelons by the peck and an apple in your hand. Judge C. 11. Webb knows how to do the handsome thing, and we thank him a thou sand times for the big half bushel of the finest mellow apples we have ever stuck a tooth in. Long may the webb of his life be woven. G. 0. Gaines waltzes in with a basket of pears—large, ripe, exquisitely flavored. Oh what goodness. His loss are our gaines—that it are. To be continued in our next. Wanted. More scholars for Prof. Looney’s High School. There is room for another hun dred. People to quit sending their children to other schools, when they can be taught as well or better at home. The money that has been paid for board, tuition and extra clothing at Due West Elberton and Athens by the people of Hartwell and Hart County to improve our own town and County. Somebody to build a fine house on the lot to be given away by E. B. Benson & Cos. More men to give away lots in Hartwell to anybody that will build on them. John Brown to stay in his fine house himself, and let others come and build houses for themselves. Employment for the loafers about Hart well. Some of them would work if they had a chance. A first-class music teacher, who will promise to please everybody, teach music and pay an extra price for her board. Squibob. The Soldier's Reunion. Messrs. Editors : In response to the suggestion in your paper that a Grand Re union of the Confederate soldiers of Hart be held, at the request of some my old comrades that I, as the senior officer of the County, should call a meeting for arrange ments, I request and urge all the Boys that wore the Grey in Hart and adjoining counties to meet in Hartwell on the first Tuesday in August, for the purpose of appointing a day and making all necessary arrangements. I hope all of the Confed erate soldiers will be present on that day. You need not bring your guns with you— by the way, they were left at Appomattox. J. H. Skelton. Trip lu die Mouuiniua. Messrs, Editors : Please allow me space in your columns to give a short sketch of my trip to the mountains. 1 stopped on my way at Toccoa. and lodged at the Davenport House, and was well en tertained in the very best style. Here I met with an old friend whom I hadn't seen ! before in eight years, Mr. Archie Simp son, formerly a well-known citizen of Hart. He is now clerk at the above-mentioned I hotel. Next morning at 4 o’clock l took the i train, and landed at Belton about half an ! hour before sunrise, where 1 met another | old friend, Mr. J. N. Coggins, with whom i 1 breakfasted. He is selling goods at that ; place. I have known him for four years, and find him nothing else than a straight j forward gentleman. Says ho is doing a i good business. I then started for the resi dences of W. 11. Adams, Littleton and Jasper Skelton, quondam citizens of Hart. I found them progressing fluely—all three have excellent corn and wheat crops and good gardens with the most vegetables I ever saw. I never saw' a single cotton plant while in that neighborhood, which is all the better for them. “ Ilog and hom iny ” is bettor food and more digestible than cotton. I canvassed White County a great deßl, and I have never seen more genial, hospitable, clever-hearted people, nor as many pretty and intelligent girls anywhere. If you were unmarried I would advise you to visit White before patron izing elsewhere. I heard The llajitwem. Sun spoken of in the highest terms wher ever I went, and forward you the enclosed names. If I had had time I could have gotten many more, but will see about that ere long. 1 desire to return my sincere thanks to the good people up there for their urbanity and kindness to me while sojourning in their midst. T. V. S. Mkssrs. Editors : I like one feature in your paper. You do not fill it up with agricultural articles. lam not opposed to improvement, and short sensible articles on the subject; but. like temperance, it is so easy to write upon that the market is glutted. I knew a highly educated gentle man who wrote for the agricultural papers twenty-fivo years, and his writings were copied extensively in the Southern papers, and there was not a poorer farmer in the State. He invented a plow that created quite a stir among paper farmers. One traveled a hundred miles to see it, and when he arrived at the plantation of the inventor he could not find one of the plows on the place. A man can lounge in his office and send forth the smoke from his fragrant Ilavanna, and write splendid ag ricultural articles, and if on * farm could not tell which “ cow gave the buttermilk.” What the country needs is less talk and more work.

Notasulga, Ada., July 7th, 1877. Dr. J Brad field : Dear sir: Your Female Regulator, women’s best friend, lias been thoroughly tested by me, in all cases for which it is recommended.
