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. YELLOW FE7ER-BLA.CE VOMIT. It is too soon to forget the ravages of this terrible disease, wliicii will n > doubt return in a more malig nant and virulent form in the fall mouth* of 1679.

A.' 1 is not in fault for the man ner in which the item in the Oak Bower Items appeared regarding the organization of the Milltown debating society, The item referred to should have appeared the week previous, which read : " There will be a debating society organized at Milltown Academy next Saturday night, etc.” We took it for granted that the organization took place, and changed it to read as it did— Ed. We heard while at District Meeting that Hartwell is very sickly. This is a mistake. There has been more sickness in town re cently than usual, but not more than oth er places, the extremely hot weather being the cause. There is only two cases of real sickness in town that we know of, Mrs. Webb, who we are glad to report as much better, and Mrs. Roebuck, who has been ill with fever a few days.

The Oglethorpe Echo says : Those who bought Nashville fruit trees are offering to dispose of their orchards at a cent a piece. They are entirely worthless. There have been a large number of worth less fruit trees 6old in this county from nurseries outside of the State, when there is a number of good nurseries in Georgia conducted Ij honest, reliable men. When will our people patronize boiuefolks that are reliable, in preference to wandering tramps, whose only recommendation is a slick, oily tongue!* A certain memlier of a Church in this county was hauled un for repairs lately. After he had made nonest confession of charges that hnd been brought against him he said : " Brethren. I suppose I had just as well go through with the job, I regret to remark that I have been drinking intox icating beverages rather profusely lately.” “ Have von been drunk F” asked one of the brethren. ” Only once—l was greatly mortified.

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. liltlrirl Meeting. The District Meeting at Bethesda was well attended, and the services were very interesting. Ii is estimated that there were at lea-t 2,000 people in attendance on Sun day. Owing to sickness in his family, we 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 hood have kept up their reputation for hos pitality to its highest standard. Roll ol' Honor. John B. Maxwell carries off the plume for being the first to pay any considerable amount on his subscription to the Hart well Railroad. This was entirely volun 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 headquarters at once, as we are ready for it.

After the ginning season the engine will be used to run a furniture factory. J. R.

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 neatl'the scorching rays of the sun. as if Mend hud swept over it. now to sH/it as it springs forth with new vigor, stimulated by the refreshing showers which are almost daily descending upon it. and each stalk, as it were, trying to out strip the otiier. 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. Prof. Wurm left our town last Thurs day morning for Toccoa where he has been engaged to instruct a hand. Prof. Wurm is u worthy young man. a good teacher of music and deserves tlie good will of every one. May peace and prosperity be his con stant companions. Mr. B. F. Burns, a brick mason of this place, was painfully but not seriously in jured a few days ago by lulling from a scaffold while building a chimney to one of F. M. Swift's buildings. The heavy rain oil last Thursday night caused the mill dam of Mr. J. E. Camp bell to break, doing considerable damage to the crops below. An old negro woman in this county re ceived a draft for over SI,OOO not long since on an Atlanta bank from the United Stales Government, she being a widow of a Union soldier in the lute civil war, nod not having received any pension since the war. She will also receive $8 per month during her life. She was once a slave of T. J. Burch, of this county. Some years before the war he carried her to Alabama and sold her. While there she married, and when the war came on, her husband went into it on the Union’s side, and was killed. When the war closed she became dissatisfied with her Alabama home iiiul returned to this county, where she has been residing ever since with no knowledge of til.* good fortune that awaited her. Tlie mysterious wild animal that made its appearance in the lower part of this county lasi fall in the shape of a catamount lias reappeared in the shape of a bear, wolf, hyena, or something else; no one knows what. Whatever it is was hold enough to come into the ynrd of Mr. Jep tha Jones a few days ago, and when at tacked by the dogs sent them away With a yell by one blow from its huge paw. and when it left it climbed the fence just like a man would, leaving the prints of its claws upon the rails. Its track measures over 3 inches in diameter. The negroes in that neighborhood crawl into their nuts at dark, ami don’t venture to stick their heads out any more until daylight. We don’t know what it is, but we do wish there were a few more of them in the county, or that this one would give Elberton a visit occasion ally. then, perhaps, this orchard, garden and melon-patch pilfering would be .stop ped. Hogs are dying up in great numbers in the lower part of the county from some unknown disease. The market is tlush with watermelons— prices low. A good many of onr people attended the District Meeting at Bethesda. Audiar. Blackjack Junction I>ots. Good rains have visited this section du ring the past week. We Imd the pleasure of attending the celebration of the Milltown Sunday-school last Friday, which was a very pleasant oc casion.

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.

It is rumored that some of the Reed Creek farmers will not make 10 bushels of corn no matter how much it rains. Election day passed off quietly. Some say that Kev. J. T. W. Vernon preached as able a sermon at Reed Creek recently as has ever been delivered there since the church was established. We are of the opinion ourself that Mr. V. ought to have more work to do in the vineyard than he does do. The time selected for our Sunday school celebration is Friday before tbe 4tb .Sun day in August next. Rev. J. T. W. Ver non has agreed to deliver an address.

As the little leaven hid in the measure of meal made all leaven, so truth gradual ly overcomes all doubt anti disbelief. When Dr. Fierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.. an nounced that his Favorite Prescription would positively cure the many diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, some doubted, and continued to employ the harsh and caustic local treatment. But the mighty troth gradually became ac 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.

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.
