Protrarted Meeting
We understand that an interesting meet
ing is being carried on at Hendry’s C hurch
this week, by Rev. Mr. Stephens.
W r J? m
J. J. Hardy,
A prominent merchant of Toccoa (<ity. was
here during the campmeeting. He looks
well, and we judge that he is doing a good
business, as he is in high spirits ami the
hard times do not seem to give him the
blues as it docs most of people these days.
Death.
Mary Patterson, (col), on Pr Turner’s
place died on Friday morning, ofmeasels ;
also another colored woman on the same
plantation with same disease the next day.
Robt. Carpenter (col.) died last week,
from consumption, in this county.
A (Iruy.
Abe Shitlet (col.) was shot on Friday, at
Thomas’ Grocery, dear Dooley’s Ferry, by
the proprietor of the Grocery. The ball
entered just below the breast and turning
in its course struck a rib, inflicting an ugly
but not fatal wound. It is said that the
shooting was accidental.
M |W *"■ T*
Took ’em Out.
We see some of the religious papers have
taken out the big revolver “ large as life
and twice as natural.” This is right. If
the secular press will aid the yankees and
the devil iu making money and populating
the lower regions, it is no reason why re
ligious papers should do so for the sake of
a two dollar advertisement.
IlleitN our Euciiilm.
On Saturday morning about sun up, we
walked out in the suburbs of the camp
ground, and passing a little cloth tent
heard rather a peculiar voice in prayer.
Wc saw through the opening of the tent
a man 80 years old at prayer, and heard
him pray God to bless our enemies. We
wonder if he could have any enemies.
Surely a religion that inculcates such pre
cepts must be genuine.
|><> You Want Imhml Work?
If so call on the Hodgson Carriage, Bug
gy and Wagon Manufactory, Athens, and
there you will tind good, honest work with
as line finish as the little trap stick bug
gies that are sold in Southern cities, which
like Peter Finder's razors, were made to
sell and not for use. Encourage home in
dustry, especially when it is entirely to
your interest to do so.
Camp Ground.
f . Owing to the failure on the part of many
who have subscribed, to pay the amount of
their subscriptions, some of the Lamp
Ground debt still hangs over us. Some of
the subscriptions have been running since
the first Campmeeting and many from the
second. Please do not neglect this duty.
Send in your money tome.

j>n;ii imr.
Whenever a paper praisis a worthy,
clever fellow, they call it a puff. Now S.
p. Parker, of the firm of Heaves &, Nichol
son, and I. A. Madden, of the house of
M. G. <fc J. Cohen, Athens', Ca., are { in
our town. These boys were born and
raised in Hart. We do hope Hart County
folks visiting Athens will give them a call.
God is all powerful, and. could make two
better fellows, but up to this date has not
done so.
A Mountain in Labor brought fourth a
Mouse.
A lawyer and a merchant of this town
worked a melon patch in cohoot. Jeff
Linder having an eye to business, over
looked the management of this melon farm,
and brought in a sample yesterday morn
ing, weighing four ounces, and live inches
in circumference. This specimen just
takes the dilapidated linen oil the shrub
bery. Grean meet and white seed. Who
next ?
Xcurahnn.
We hear about sixty members of the
Con. Con. Xcurted to Toccoa last Satur
day. If there had been a hundred more
in the “ Scursion ” from that body, and
had remained a few days, the balance who
were left would have had better room to
work. But the grandeur of the falls and
mountain scenery, with the invigorating
air and chrystal water, to say nothing of
mountain dew , will prepare them torpou
erful speech making on their return to the
old opera building.
Stolen.
We found a little letter from a “ lcetle "
girl ot Atnericus to a schoolmate in this
place, inclosing a pretty pressed flower;
and, true to her sex, had the usual P. S.,
which ran thus :
Here is a flower and its emblem is—
I love thee and thee alone,
You must come to see me
Before I get grown.
Think of me sleeping
Think of me awake,
And when yon get married
Send me some cake.
Our P. S.—We hope Miss Ella will for
give us for printing a portion of her letter,
as she sdys, don't let anyone see this letter,
for it is not my best writing. We do love
to read little girl’s letters, they are so
pure and innocent-not like the rowdy let
ters from one rough, dirty-faced boy to ano
ther.

Tile Cnnipmcetlus;.
On last Monday morning the campmcet
ing closed. In our opinion it was a deci
ded success. The meeting was opened on
Wednesday night previous by a sermon
from Rev, Mr. Quillian, who is quite a
promising young minister. He reasons
well, has a very good delivery, and best of
all is an humble, unassuming Christian.
On Thursday lie was taken sick and was
not able to preach any more during the
meeting. The other ministers in attend
ance were Revs. Fleming, lliggenbotham,
Richardson, Gary, Williams, Norman,
Hodges. Smith and Worley. On Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday we never saw
more orderly congregations, and while
there were no great demonstrations, you
could sec a seriousness not usual in so
large a crowd. The preaching and praying
was earnest and pathetic. On Sunday the
crowd was very large, and the order kept
better than usual for such occasions, we
thought. During the day wc had three ex
cellent sermons—Revs. W. A. Ilodgcs. 8
a. 09., A. G. Wordy, P. E., 11 a. m., W.
P. Smith, 3p. m. At sp. m., there was
a general prayer meeting held at the stand,
where the Divine presence was felt to a
wonderful degree. That night we had an
experience meeting, conducted by Rev. IV.
T. Norman. Here we had a gracious out
pouring of the Holy Spirit. Many souls
were made happy, penitents converted and
the power of God felt throughout the whole
congregation. The experience of all, and
the happy termination of the meeting hut
illustrated the wonderful and powerful
efficacy of prayer. On Monday morning,
after prayer, lead by Rev. W. A. Hodges
and benediction by the Presiding Elder,
the campmeeting closed, but its effects will
be as lasting as eternity. It will be a
memorable occasion to many.
The next campmeeting will commence
Friday night before the second Sunday in
August, 1878, and will close the Friday
after—lasting one week.
Kquibob
Takes us to task on our whisky and on
ion article. We said nothing about drunk
ards seeking salvation, we alluded only to
those devils who carry whisky in their
pockets to put to the mouths of unsuspect
ing hoys, and who offend decent people
with their stinking breath for twenty feet
around them. Would sncli a Chesterfield
as that be tolerated in a halL room ? Squi
bod has as good and pious a mother as ever
made a track in Georgia, and she is the
only soul on earth that wc would swap our
chances of heaven for. We have heard
Squihoh make some splendid temperance
speeches, hut it is a long lane that never
turns, and sometimes they turn into a
mighty big mud hole. We love whisky
as well as he does, but we take it medici
nally and measure it as we would any
other poison. A person would hardly go
to a campmeeting with a bottle in his pock
et to seek the road to heaven.
25 Cents Unano Xote.
A round-faced, ruddy complexioned,
middle-aged gentleman came smiling along
our streets and approached several of our
merchants, wishing to negotiate for tlie
loan of 25 cents, for which he said he
was willing to give a guano note binding
anything he had. Said he was sick, and
less than that amount of groceries would
do him no good. Owing to the stringency
of the money market he failed in getting
the loan. Said he was not going to camp
meeting, that the Methodists had turned
him out of the church three times and the
Baptists once; that rich folks paid the
preachers to scare niggers and poor folks.
Hell Frozen Over and the Devil Laid
up with n Dad Fold.
We were attacked a few days ago by
two ‘*so called ” Christians on our moral,
religious and temperance principles, of
which we have none to brag on. Now if
we should ever be so fortunate as to get to
that “ better land ” and find these two
drunken men there, we would be as much
surprised as we would be on going to hell
and finding it frozen over and the devil
laid up with a bad cold. Five dollars a
year to needy preachers may keep some
in the church but won’t carry a dead-head
to heaven.
Trne as Preaching;.
We heard Rev. A. G. Worley on Fri
day. He said that drunkenness was not
the only thing that kept folks out of
Heaven ; that people had to be honest and
pay their debts, and if misfortune unfor
seen bcfel them, that it was impossible to
pay, they must use every exertion and do
all they could to pay them. That is the
sort of religion to teach. Some professors
drtthc cause of Christianity great harm,
who join the Church like some do the Ma
sonic Order, to swindle their brethren—but
if there were no genuine there would be
no counterfeits.
I’Niiiriil Accident.
Wo learn that quite a painful accident
befell Mr. O. I). Parker last week. In
shooting a rifle gun the breech pin was
blown out, and hut for a screw that held
one side of it would have killed him. The
powder burnt his face and eyes consider
ably. At first it was thought that he
would lose his sight entirely, but now the
doctor thinks not. Mr. Parker is no doubt
thankful that ho will sustain no greater
damage than a blue face. We are truly
glad that it is no worse.
Koma ■> tie Hal sum.
A man entered one of our stores the
other day, and was at once accosted by the
Clerk with :
“ How do you do, sir; wlmt will you
have ? Oh, yes—l see you have the sore
eyes 1 Well, sir, we have the very thing
you arc looking for.”
“ Well, sir, really I do need something,
for I have suffered very much with my
eyes. What have you got? 1 have but
little faith, 1 have tried so many things.”
“Roman Eye Balsam, sir. After an ex
perience of over forty years, 1 can fully
recommend it.”
“ You don't look to he so old sir.'’
(Clerk about 25 or 30.)
“ Well—ah—hut, my dear sir, hasn’t my
mother used it from the time whence the
memory runneth not back. Why, sir,
this is the most wonderful medicine you
ever heard of. It would almost make you
anew pair of eyes if you were blind !
You havn’t the faintest idea, sir, of the
benefits to be derived from the use of this
medicine. Spectacles and magnifying
glasses might be abolished, sir, if wc
would but use plenty of lloman Eye Bal
sam. Huy a jar of this medicine —only
25 cents —and it will make a mole hill look
like a mountain, and a grasshopper will ap
pear as large as an elephant. My dear sir
let me sell you a couple of jars of this
medicine, and you will think your spring
branch has turned into an ocean, and a
mellow bug swimming on itssurfacc will he
taken for an ironclad gunboat. My erring
friend don’t delay—”
“ Hold on there, Mister Clerk ! Here is
25 cents for a jar of your medicine and 50
cents for your talk. Yours must be a
wonderful family.”
“No. sir, not much; they are all very
quiet, say-nothing sort of people, the
smartest one of our kin was sent to the lu
natic asylum, the wealthiest one died in
the poor house, and the best one was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life.”
“Whew! Good-day, Mister Clerk—l’ll
come to see you again.”
“ Good-day, sir; you will always find a
good supply of Roman Eye Balsam at E.
B. Benson & Co.’s.” Squihoh.

Proceedings of a Meeting of this So
ciety held at Hartwell August , 7. 1877.
Present, F. B. Hodges, President, and
others. Read minutes of last meeting
which were adopted.
Being timo for the annual election of of
ficers of this Society, the following officers
were elected by Reclamation. F. B.
Hodges, President; J. G. McOurry, Vice
President; C. \V, Seidel, Sec. and Treas.;
J. F. Craft. J. L. Turner, J. G. McCurry.
Executive Committee. According to reso
lution past at our last meeting, F. S.
Roberts delivered an address on the culti
vation of wheat, the following being only
a few of the main features of his address :
Prepare your land by thorough plough
ing, plow it first with a twister plow, then
run in each furrow right after the twister
a subsoil plow, which will thoroughly
break the land. After thorough prepara
ration of land, sow seed and plow them in
with a small ripper plow or with a harrow,
he careful not to plough the seed in too
deep. We are too remiss in the selection
of our seed wheat, this is the most impor
tant part of wheat culture. Good seed
planted makes a good return. Every far
mer in gathering his wheat should select
the best spots ho has in his crop, let them
stand till thoroughly ripe, until the heads
lay down and then cut those spots sepa
rately and thrash anil save that seed. By
doing this year after year, a great improve
ment will be effected in our seed wheat.
To cut wheat rather on tho green order
makes better flour, but for seed it should
he thoroughly ripe. Another important
item is to sow the crop early, not later
than the first of November. If we will
sow a forward kind of wheat and good ripe
and sound seed and sow carlv enough there
will be no danger of rust and other diseases
taking place. This crop being somewhat
uncertain, commercial fertilizers are not
advised, but by applying cotton seed lib
erally, preparing the land well, the re
ward is generally a remunerative harvest
and return lor the labor and time expended.
Capt. J. F. Craft made some remarks
from which arc gathered :
I do not think in the main, that deep cul
tivation is necessary for wheat, hut I do
believe it is highly important to make the
land level; the roots have to have their
own territory, and if the land is level the
roots will all penetrate, and you are sure
to have a good stand, and besides are not
so much subjected to freezes.
Other members of the Society partici
pated making it a very interesting discus
sion
The following names were enrolled as
members of the Society, F. Marion Gaines,
J. P. Sanders. Head report from Com
missioner of Agriculture of U. S., on the
testing and making experiments of seeds,
sent here from that Department. Presi
dent appointed the following committee
to assist Secretary in making report on
this subject to wit: J. F. Craft, T. N.
McMullan, It. E. Sadler.
On motion, adjourned to the first Tues
day in September next.
