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. E. 13. Benson, Treas. Board Trustees. 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. Nun ltitya.

Sold by all Druggists. 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. Reunion Moetlnif.

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. C. W. Si:i DEI., Skc.
