Mr. Stephens for Governor.
Unffin Atm.
We notice that 11. G. W\. in the Augus
ta Chronicle, suggests the name of Hon. A.
11. Stephens for Governor of Georgia in
1880. Everybody who knows Mr. Steph
ens knows he would make a good Govern
or. But there is something more than the
Governorship connected with (fie sugges
tion of Mr. Stephens’ name in this connec
tion. lie is now a member of Congress
from the Eighth Congressional District,
and has been for a number of years, ami
can be as long as he will allow his name to
go before the people for that important po
sition. as he is universally popular in his
district: consequently he is in the way of
many politicians in the Eighth who wish to
occupy his position, ami they are aware of
the fact that they cannot get it unless they
switch Mr. Stephens olf on some other
line. Now, if they can persuade the old
gentleman to become a candidate for Gov
ernor. they will get rid ol him as a candi
date for Congress, ami some aspirant can
walk into his shoes. Knowing 11. G. H .
as we do, we would not make this charge
on him personally, for we do not believe
he is seeking promotion on that line—but
we know some men in his district who are.
The suggestion is rather thin, as we pre
sume Mr. Stephens is fully satisfied to con
tinue in his present position until he can
find something that will pa v better, and
where lie can serve the people more effec
tually. Mr. Stephens makes a good Con
gressman. and it is the place for him.

to two ounces of bile to be filtered to - straiue.il from
the blood each time it liasses through the Liver, as

sponding, was advised by Dr. Ayer of Floyd county.
Ga., to commence the use of yout Compound Ex

Huiliiueut to say. I aban'loned all other remedies and
continued the use of your Extract of Stiilingia. un
til I can say truly. " X am cured of all pain,” of all
disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit
of my profession. More than eight months have
elapsed since 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, (fa., and to the

Gists : My daughter was taken on the 25tli day
of June. IStM, with what was supposed to he Acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no
success. In March, following, pieces of bone began
to work out of tlie right arm. and continued to ap
pear till the bone from the elbow to the shoulder
Joint came out. Many pieces of bone carne out < f
tlie right foot and leg'. Tlie case was then pronounc
ed one of'White Swelling. After having been con
fined about six years to her bed. and the case con
sidered hopeless, I was induced to try Dr. Pernbei
ton’s Compound Extract of Stiilingia, and was so
well satisfied with its effects that I have continued
the use of it until the present.
M.v daughter was confined to her lied about six
Tears 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. witli the blessing of God, to tlie use of vour
invaluable medicine. W. 11. BLANTON.

A man in Hartwell yesterday had won

to only one pulled off and that was the
nose of on old toper who had rotted it by
drinking popskull whisky. The patent
right per nose was only a dollar. The
accomplished and highly educated and per
fumed agent said he had sold 200 in the
county, and we will wager not one of them
had a bushel of meal iu tlie house.

The District Meeting at Bethesda was
well attended, and the services were very
interesting. Ii is estimated that there were

are informed. Bishop McTyere was unable
to attend. The morning sermon on Sun
day was preached by Elder Hughes. The
best of order prevailed during tlie entire
meeting, and much good it is thought will
result. The good citizens of the neighbor

John B. Maxwell carries off the plume
for being the first to pay any considerable
amount on his subscription to the Hart

tary on his part. A worthy example—one
which we hope will be followed by others
who can now. We know there are many
who cannot pay until cotton comes in. hut
we would remind them that we expect the
money promptly then. As it is known to
all. one-third of the subscription is due
now, and one-third due as soon as tlie road
is graded, which will make two-thirds pay
able tiiis fall. We hope all can pay ns at
least the first third in September. We are
straining every point Incomplete the road
for the fall trade, and will do it beyond
doubt. To do this we have drawn heavily
upon onr conHdeuce in the prompt pay
ment of amounts subscribed. Those who
have subscribed work will please report to

it. Let others come forward.

The True Way Iu Invlifurnte.
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. Ilostctter'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 by malarial epidemics.
Turnip Seeds.
E. B. Benson & Cos. have a good supply
of Buist’s Fresh Turnip Seeds—all \arie
ties. It is especially important that all
should be well supplied with good turnips,
and to insure this should use none but the
best seeds.
Elberton Clrhinfa.
Elberton has keen livelier for the past
few days than was expected, on account ol
the recent rains, I suppose, for the ground
lias been too wet to work in many parts ol
the cmmty for sonic days past, ami const*- ]
qoently the farmers employ their time by
com jig to town, where they may meet ami
exclftnge opinions as to the prospects ol
the growing crops, and l believe it is gen
erally conceded that if the sea-ons contin
ue fora few weeks longer Elbert county
will yield one of the largest crops that she
has produced since the war. We are glad
to see the prospect so Muttering, since the
growth of our town depends much upon
the crops that are gathered in this and ad
joining counties.
Prayer mcotings continue, and we think
with liappy results, for the rains continue
also. Ami what a lumpy change is this to
the farmer who ten days ago looked with
heavy heart upon his crop us it wilted be

There is a grout deal of sickness in the
county now. We suppose it is caused by
so sudden a change in tho weather—from
hot to cool.

war. She will also receive $8 per month

T. J. Burch, of this county. Some years

and when the war came on, her husband
went into it on the Union’s side, and was

Tlie mysterious wild animal that made

We Imd the pleasure of attending the
celebration of the Milltown Sunday-school
last Friday, which was a very pleasant oc

positions read by the following persons,
interspersed with songs and music from
two organs :
First speech, by Master Elias Vickery ;
Ist composition. Miss Alice Brown ; 2d
speech. Master J. B. Neese ; 2d composi

Master Johnnie Partain ; 3d composition.
Miss Mollie N 4th speech. Master
Berry Sanders; 4th composition. Miss Bet

The morning exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. B. J. McLesky. The
school was inarched by L'apt. W. G. W.
White. The flag was carried by E. 11.
Vickery. .
After the speeches had oeen delivered
and compositions read, Rev. J. 11. McMul
lan delivered a very appropriate address.
Dinner was then announced, and you bet
ample justice was done to this important
part of the programme. By request the
programme of the morning was rehearsed,
closing with a short but very interesting
speech by T. N. McMullan. All the speak
ers and composition readers did excceding
ingly well, and from the floral tributes
Miss Bettie White received we guess the
young men think she did very well indeed.
The stage was beautifully decorated, and
the thanks of the entire community are
due the young ladies for the sound judg
ment and good taste they exhibited in the
work. Miss Nannie Burton, who has been
absent five month attending school at the
Baptist Seminary at Gainesville, was in at
tendance. and the young men all seemed
anxious to know how she liked the Semi
nary, or themselves, we don't know which.

knowledged. Thousands of ladies who
lia>l uselessly undergone untold tortures
nt the hands of different physicians, em
ployed the Favorite Proscription, ami were
speedily cured. Many physicians now
prescribe it in their practice. So sanguine
is Dr. Pierce of its power to cure, that he
now sells it through druggists under a posi
tive guarantee.
More Fence.
Montevideo. July 19, 1879.
As the late election in this county has
been decided in favor of fences to remain
as they arc. and as the Hartwell Railroad
is a fixed fact io he completed this fall, we
would like to put in a petition for one mote
| fence to lie built in the comity, around a
tiiece of land that is terribly imposed on
>y the depredations of all kinds of stock.
As you are very well aware the County
of Hart has about the best courthouse and
jail hi the circuit, the land on which both
arc situated belonging to the county.
There arc about four acres of laid around
the courthouse, and I think half ail acre
around the jail. This is the land and
property that should he fenced, and the
present condition it is in is a disgrace to
the county. The courthouse square is a
beautiful piece of ground, interspersed
with shade trees, which arc not nourishing, i
because in the last few years the rolling i
character of the ground has inclined to '
wash the dirt away from the roots and
they are gradually dying out one by one.
I never knew an individual who owned a
house and lot but what the first care he
took of it was to fence it, nnd I do not sec
why this beautiful piece of land, owned iu
common by all the citizens of the county,
should he so neglected and allowed to go
to wreck for the want of a little care. The
courthouse, jail and poorhousc, the care of
which is all we are taxed for, is all the
property owned by this county, which
amount is insignificant compared to the
expense of other counties.
The counties of Elbert and Franklin
spend thousands of dollars annually in the
erection und repairing of bridges, while
there is not a bridge in the County of Hart
built or kept up by the Treasury of the
same. There are many reasons why the
jail should have n good high fence around
it. It keeps prisoners more safe and also
keeps away outsiders from hating commu
nication with them. A prominent citizen
and farmer remarked the other day that
the square should he fenced up, and then
tilled up with rich dirt, fertilized, laid off
in grass plots, and which When done he
would himself go to work to get the assis
tance of the fair daughters of the county
to plant in Mowers, thereby making it in a
few years the most beautiful garden iu our
flourishing county.
Respectfully, B. K.
This subject has impressed ine as a very
important one. and I would suggest that
you allow and invite a full anil free dis
cussion upon the same through your valu
able columns.
Through Countless Little Open

complaints, like the itch, salt rheum, and
erysipelas, it is a sovereign remedy, being
quite as effective as Sulphur Baths, for
such maladies, as well as rheumatism and
gout. It is wondrously healing and sooth
ing in its action, reuniting the cuticle where
broken by external injuries, relieving the
swelling and iiiHaminutiou attendant upon
sprains, sealds and bruises, and curing the
most obstinate sores and ulcers. The med

all classes of society, voluntary evidence
in its favor is continually emanating. La

promotes not only health, hut personal at

A Visit to Old Elbert.
Messrs. Editors : Please give us space
in your valuable paper for a briaf sketch
of our recent visit to our former home.
Nothing is better calculated to crry one
hack to days of yore than visiting thw
homestead. Notwithstanding yeara hv
Milted by a great many events of the pas*
in and around the home of our boyhood
is brought again to view; circumstances
ihst it would seem had passed long enough
to be entirely forgotten are brought again
to memory dear. While we are brought to
reflect over things of the past, we tind
many pleasant things to ponder over.
In those day* we were with our parents,
Brothers and sisters, linked together as pa
rents and children should be, in one har
monious hand ; but now we are separated
a brother here, a sister there, and parents
in another place, and makes us feel sad in
deed.
The crops in the vicinity of Ileardmont
are not up to their usual standard at this
season of the year. The recent drought
has injured tlie crops materially. W e saw
large fields of corn burned half up tho
stalk, and tassels perfectly dead. Heard
one large farmer say his cotton needed
rain, but did not think rain would benefit
his corn any. as it was beyond redemption.
The wheat crop was excellent. One farmer
-aid he made IV2 bushels on five acres land.
We think it would have been better if we
had sown more wheat—but here it is again
where tlie bind sights should be in front.
There is a steam thresher in Ileardmont
that has threshed this season 9.000 bushels
of grain, and will probably thresh 1,000
more before the season is out.
We happened down just in time to at
tmd a picnic nt Graj Mill. wh- - re we had
the pleasure of meeting a great many of
our old friends and relatives,. including a
large number of our lady friends, which
made the time pass like a pleasant dream.
We can hardly account for it. but old
friend " Bill ” was there. We won't say
he was all, but will say lie was a good
portion of the picnic—wc mean furnished
the wit, eloquence and comic songs, which
added very much to the enjoyment of the
gay party. The picnic was a grand affair,
as is Admitted by tlie most fastidious. In
ihe afternoon the crowd adjourned to Dr.
Henry's mansion, where all were treated
in that welcome and hospitable manner for
which the Dr. and family are noted. The
gay picnickers dispersed about 5 P. M.
with a bountiful store of pleasant thoughts
i to ponder over bye-and-bye.
I Sunday evening. 13th. a good rain visited
I the vicinity of Ileardmont. T. A. D.
