Hints to Farmers. A teaspoonful of coal oil to a gallon of water will exterminate all the insects that infest garden plants and beautiful (lowers. For bruises or sores, boil smart weed in chamber lye, add a little soft soap and wash twice a day. Green Hies and other plant pests can be destroyed by using one teaspoonful of ker osene to the gnllon of water, and sprink ling it over the plants with a hand-broom. Charcoal pulverized and mixed with wa ter ia highly recommended as an agent for relieving cattle suffering from any arrange ment of the stomach, such as bloat. The richest food is not always the cheap est for milch cows, though too little food, however, is even worse than too rich food, a fair mean being the best. Cows that have access to water at all times will drink often, but little at a time, and return to their feeding. Deprived of a sufficient supply, they fail in milk and flesh. In fattening animals the most economi cal plan is to fatten as quickly as possible, because the less amount of food expended by respiration the more will go to the for mation or fat. Indian corn charred into a charcoal is said to he a most valuable condiment for poultry. It will put hens in good health and cause a general buoying up of the sys tem that will be seen in more and better eggs.

REMARKABLE CURE of SCROFULA, &c CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON. Kingston*. Ga.. September 15, 1871. Gkntb : For sixteen years I have been a great suf ferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most ap proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed, de sponding, was advised by Dr. Ayer of Floyd county. Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Ex tract Stdlingia. Language is as insufficient to de scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Sti 1 lingia as it is to convey an adaquato idea of the in tensity of ray suffering before using your medicine ; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued th use of your Extract of Stillingia, un til I can sav truly, “ 1 am cured of all pain.*’ of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed siuce this remarkable cure, without any re turn of the disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the members of tho bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude. Your obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Point, Ga., Sept. iff. ih7o. Gents: My daughter was taken on tho 25th day of June. 1863, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm. and continued to ap pear till the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of hone came out of the right foot *uid leg. The case was then pronounc ed one of Wliite Swelling. After having been con fined about six years to her bed, and the case con sidered hopeless. I was induced to try Dr. Pembei ton's Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bod about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strenth. walk well. I attribute her re covery, with the blessiug of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine. W. B.

From what we can learn the rain visited the whole county. The Hartwell Railroad Company adver tised lor 100 hands to work on the road ; so far they have had 111 applications to work and 5.070 applications for overseers' places. The candidates for overseers come principally from South Carolina. Rev. W. A. Fariss, notwithstanding his crippled ankle, preached a good sermon in Hartwell Sunday.

On last Thursday in Hartwell at 2£ P. M., in a room between two doors about 12 inches above a bucket of drinking water, the thermometer stood at 99.

The true way to invigorate a feeble sys tem is to infuse actively into the operations of the stomach, that wondrous alembic in which the food is transmuted into the con stituents of blood, the chief element of our vitality. Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, because it accomplishes this end. is greatly to be preferred to many so called tonics, useful indeed as appetizers, but inopera tive as aids to digestion and assimilation. This sterling cordial, while it invigorates the stomach, healthfully stimulates the liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the escape through the regular channels of effete and useless matter thrown off by the system, which is thus purified as well as invigorated by it. Its tonic influence is soon made manifest by an increase of vital energy and a more active and regular dis charge of every physical function, and it has'the further effect of rendering the sys tem unassailable hv malarial epidemics. Exrui’tcd. Excursions have got to bo such common things, and going to Atlanta such an easy matter, that we do not think it necessary to compel our readers to wade through a column of praises, etc., to the Gate City, nor to tell exactly what bill the Legisla ture was on when wc stepped in the gal- j lory for a few minutes. Now of course all ' this would be nice if not so common. Al though we do not expatiate on these things they are nevertheless alive. That excur sion on the Aif-Line was one of the big gest things that has excurted to Atlanta this season—numbering about two thous and, and a motley crew they Were. Wc saw many for whom we Were sorry—stran gers in the city, shabby looking and With out money. A countryman, living live miles from Atlanta, was on hand when the excursion reached the the car-shed to look up his brother-in-law whom he had never seen. We consider that he luid the hard est job to accomplish that was ever under taken in this line, for not only the crowd of excursionists were to look through, but the almost equal number of spectators who were soon mixed up with tne newly arrived crowd. Atlanta is continually adding something new to her list of attractions and conveni ences. The telephone is the rage now, and it is indeed a convenience, for one can sit in his office and converse with his wife at home, two miles off. Atlanta's young bloods have better advantages than boys in most places, for through the telephone they can have achat with their sweethearts any time they wish. Business men find it a great economizer of time. While in Col. Foreacre's office, he stepped back to his telephone and talked with Mr. Wilkins at the Rolling Mill, a mile and a half distant.

All that could be done was done for the relief of our little babe. Nothing could give us more conso lation than to know that our little loved one received such kind attention in its last affliction. The Giver of all good has prom ised to know those who possess such noble and charitable hearts as a great many of the citizens cf Hartwell possess. Kind friends of Hartwell, we will ever remember you with loving kindness and prayerful hearts, and trust that you may continue to spend your day* in a manner approved by the Holy One. thus obtaining access to the promise made to the right eous. Most respectfully, Thus. A. and Georgia Thornton. Elberton i;irhlii|[. Editors. I have several good reasons for not writing last week, but will not bore you by giving them. Everything is quiet now since the com mencement has ended. There were a great many visitors here last week, and all seem ed delighted with our little town and more Iso with the commencement exercises. which they say was a grand success. It certainly was tho occasion of the season, and did great credit to the school. On the oth the commencement sermon was preach ed by Rev. F. B. Hughes, which whs as able and impressive as any sermon the peo ple of Elberton have Intd the good fortune to heal* in soUie time. We would like very much to give a fuller account of this sermon, but must give the mam features of the week's entertainment, and pass the more minute particulars by. On Monday, the 7th. the examination of classes took place at the Academy, which was conducted by the teachers in presence of n committee who were appointed for that purpose. On Monday night, the Ju nior speakers entertained the public hand somely. On Tuesday, from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m.. the Seniors assisted by Geo, C. Grogan, F.sq,, interested a large audience in a praisewor thy manner. On Tuesday night came the public debate, which was considered the most interesting part of the exhibition. It was conducted m a very attractive manner and pleased all who were present, after which Mr. Jas. M. Griggs delivered the Alliitnni address, which was highly appre ciated by the large and intelligent audi ence. Thus closed the commencement exer cises of the Andrew Mule High School, which were the most attractive and inter- I esting the school has ever hud. and it may | lie well said that never has such entire sue | cess uttended tho efforts made by the friends of any institution in Elberton as were those of the teachers and friends of this school. On Wednesday night the Elberton Silver Cornet Band gave an entertainment, which was un entire success in every sense of the word. The attendance was large, the mu sic good, the air cool and pleasant, and ev erything seemed propitious, which made the evening pass off’ as pleasantly ns could he imagined, and here wc will say that our band will compare favorably with any hand in the State, and we claim Superior ity for it over any of the same age. Now to leave the pleasantries, and speak of things that are repugnant to our mind, we must say that our town and surround ing country is in the most distressing con dition imaginable. There has not been a good season since crops were planted. The pastures and (ields are ns brown as if a conflagration had swept over the country. The crops seem as though they had been scorched by Haines. The thermometer has been standing at from 100° to 105° for sev eral days. The people have become nlnrtn ed. On Friday last the citizens petitioned the ministers to call a meeting that all I might unite in an earnest prayer to the Al ! mighty for rain. The first meeting, on Friday morning, was well attended. All of the merchants suspended business, went out and took a lively interest in the sup plications of God's people. A meeting was appointed for Friday evening at 5 o’- clock, which was as well attended as the first, nnd then another for Saturday morn ing at sunrise, and then another for Sun day morning at sunrise, and at this writ ing the indications for rain are good, and j no doubt but that the prayers of the right- j ecus will be answered ere you reccivo this communication. The loafers of town are now endeavor ing to console themselves in this most alarming time by resigning themselves to the belief of Universalism. There is a book m town which contains the doctrines, and they are now passing it around. It is strange that men will endeavor to hunt up reasons for denying the wrath of God when they see so plainly the curse upon the country, and for no other reason than for the punishment of wickedness. A negro got oVt license some days ago to marry a white woman. He managed to get them by applying through another ne gro who did not reveal the fact to the Or dinary that the woman was white. The hoys in town soon learned the facts of the case, and immediately began to search out the affectionate couple. The negro, how ever, learned that they were in pursuit of him. and sent Ins lieense hack with a prom ise that lie would not marry the woman, and upon this consideration he was permit ted to leave the town unmolested, it was fortunate for the negto that he chose this j course, as the consequences might have | proven fatal to him had he done otherwise. We are soon to have another furniture ( establishment. Mr. Wm. M. V\ ilcox, l , Anderson. S. C.. has made arrangements | to run the business. Chess is the popular game now. There is considerable effort being made for the | championship. Several around town have just given themselves up to the game en tirely. Mclntosh street is being widened. The old Latnar house saloon lias been moved, and the street will ho made fourteen feet wider, which will he a great improvement to that part of town. Gairdner, Arnold A’ Cos., are to be credited with this good work. Mr. J. N. Campbell, while swimming near Brewer's mill the other day. caine near drowning, but was rescued after lie had sank the fourth time by Rev. J. A. Mumlay. who was present and exhibited much presence of mind in his successful ef forts to rescue his drowning companion, Mr. Munday is pastor of the Baptist Church at this place, and is a very muscu lar man. He is very much devoted to his friends and will brave any danger in their behalf. It seems to be a providential thing that lie and Mr. Campbell were not both drowned. Mr. Mumlay deserves much praise for his courage and daring bravery at this time. Tom Swift is building again. He is now building a house for groceries. It will be connected with his dry goods department. The new building will front Mclntosh street, which will be quite an improvement to its appearance. There was some excitement last Satur day night on account of the flatne which appeared from one of the upper windows of the Swift building.
