Hartnell t'ninpmec<iK
Commences on next Friday. In our young
days we thought a week's racing by the
county jockey club or a fair just the tiling
for enjoyment, but now, as we have grown
older and have more sense, give us a good
old-fashioned Methodist canipmceting with
the glorious singing and shouting of those
who feel like letting themselves loose on the
Gospel line. There is never a campmect
ing out there are some genuine Christians
made, and just the few sucli is what keeps
God Almighty from destroying the world.
Of course there are thousands who make
loud professions in all the churches whose
souls will never rise higher than the grave
in which they are buried.

YELLOW FEVER—BLACK VOMIT.
It i too soon to forgot the ravages of this terrible
disease, which will no doubt return in a more malig
nant and virulent form in the fall months of 18711.
MEKRKU/8 HTKIATTNE, a Remedy dis
covered in Southern Nubia and used with such won
derful results in South America where the most ag
gravated cases of fever are found, causes from one
to two ounces of bile to be filtered or strained from
the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as
long as an excess of bile exists. By its wonderful
action on tl*e Liver and Stomach the HEPATINE
not only prevents to a certainty any kind of Fever
and Black Vomit, but also cures Headache, Consti
pation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and Malarial dis
eases.
No one need fear Yellow Fever who will expel the
Malarial Poison and excess of bile from the blood by
using MERRKLL’S HEPATINE. which is sold by
all Druggists in 25 cent and SI.OO bottles, or will be
sent by express by the Proprietors.

The reports of wonderful curcsof Rheumatism,

Sores, that come from all parts of the country, are*
not only'* remarkable but so miraculous as to be
doubted was it not for the abundance of proof.
REMARKABLE CURE of SCROFULA, Ac
CASK OF COL. J. C. BRANSON.
Kingston. Ga., September 15, 1871.
Gknts : 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 l>ed 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,
sponding, was advised by I)r. Ayer of Floyd county,
Ga., to commence tho use of your Compound Ex
tract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de
scribe the relief I obtained from the use of tho Stil
lingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of the in
tensity of my suffering before using your medicine ;
sufficient to say, 1 abandoned all other remedies and
continued the use of your Extract of Stillingia, un
til I can say truly, “ 1 am cured of all pain, ’ of all
disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit
of my profession. Afore than eight months have
elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any re
turn of the diseaso.
For the truth of the above statement, I refer to
any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the
members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are
acquainted with me. I shall over remain, with the
deepest gratitude, Tour obedient servant,
,T. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law.
A MIRACLE.
West Point, Ga., Sept. 10. 1879.
Gents : My daughter was taken on tho 25th day
of June, 1863, 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 the right arm, and Continued to ap
pear till the bone from tb " fto the shoulder
joint came out. Many pieces of lsine came out of
the right foot and leg" The came was then pronounc
ed one of White Swelling. After having been con
fined about six years to lihr bed, and the case con
sidered hopeless, 1 was induced to try I)r. lYmber
ton's Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so
well satisfied with its effects that I hare continued
the use of it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed 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 sfrenth. walk well. I attribute her re
coverv with the blessing of God, to the use of your
invaluable medicine. W. B. BI.A XT( i\,

Baptist warp and Methodist filling, is
where a man’s wife is a Baptist and he a
Methodist, and as three-fourths of the citi
zens of Georgia are members of one or the
other of these denominations, that is a
splendid trick withVhichto catch votes.
The Elbcrton Gazette says a reader of
this paper says “an almanac can guess
nearer when it is going to rain, than that
paper how Hart will vote on the fence
question.” We made no predictions as to
tne result for that very reason, as any of
j our intelligent readers have observed.
i The difficulty between B. J. Dooly and
: the negro Georgq Durrett last week was a
bloody affair. The particulars so far as
we have ascertained were as follows : Mr.
Dooly had told George to hop his cotton
that day. After Mr. Doolv , there
work in his field, George
deinandod the horse to plough his cotton.
This caused an altercation, which resulted
in a light. Mr. Dooly was cut near the
abdomen, on the arm and hand. George
had his skull cracked in two places with a
hoe, and in cutting at Mr. Dooly stabbed
himself in the thigh. They are both badly
used up. It is impossible to say who was
in fault, as there was hut ono witness, a
negro hoy, who was so badly lightened
that he ran off when the difficulty began.
The Hartwell High School is ono of the
most flourishing we know of, everything
taken into consideiation. The long pro
tracted drought does not seem to have ef
fected it in tlie least. But why should it
not flourish when we have efficient teach
ers who spare no pains to advanco their
students, as pure water as can be found in
the Southern States, ono of the prettiest
towns in the State, and as good induce
ments to those wishing to board as can he
thrown out by any place? The morality
of the town is unsurpassed, and as to its
health, we can say without fear of contra
diction that it is as healthy a place as can
be found soutli of the Mason and Dixon
line. Wc know of no place that can offer
greater inducements to parents and guar
dians having children to educate than Hart
well.
Walker’s improved gin brush and cleaner
for sale by D. C. Alford and l)r. A. J.
Mathews, is one of the most simple inven
tions we ever saw, to do the work it does.
No trouble at all for ginners to gin green
or damp cotton if they use the improved
brush. Any man, whether lie has any
mechanical skill or not can attach the sub
stitute for hair and curtail expenses at
least 100 per cent. Ginners can save
money by using the improved brush, as it
improves the sample and saves so much
time. We would advise all ginners to pur
chase a farm right, which is sold very
reasonable, and their gin brushes will not
cost them exceeding two dollars a year, if
they had to make anew brusli every
season.

J. D. Hightower. That’s a tall name,
ain’t it? Well, he deserves it, for he is in
the tallest clothing business in the United

cit\’, where the advantage of forty years
in the business, with money enough to
burn up a big drove of wet mules, enables
them to put up handsome clothing at the
very lowest prices. They have immense
stocks at wholesale in New York, Charles

the only wholesale clothing house that de
serves the name in Georgia. May this

F. 0. Mays, with Hunt, Rankin & La

The Gazette boasts that Elberton has a
Koon that weighs 225 pounds and is a good
shoemaker. Well, newspapers are privil

hut the idea of a coon weighing 225 pounds
and making shoes is too much potash. We
don’t believe that fish talc now—catching

The True Way to Invigorate.
The true way to invigorate a feeble sys
tem is to infuse aetively into the operations
of the stomach, that wondrous alembic in
which the food is transmuted into the con
stituents of blood, tho chief element of
our vitality, llostetter's Stomach Bitters,
because it accomplishes this end, is greatly
to be preferred to many so culled tonics,
useful indeed as appetizers, .hut inopera
tive as aids to digestion and assimilation.
This sterling cordial, while it invigorates
tho stomach, healthfully stimulates the
liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the
escape through the regular channels of
effete and useless matter thrown off b v 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
lias the further effect of rendering the sys
tem unassailable by malarial epidemics.
Hart Crops.
11. J. Goss, manager of Capt. Craft's
farm, has 200 acres line bottom corn and
200 acres splendid cotton. He made a
good small grain crop. John Snow has a
very fine prospect for large crops of corn
and cotton. Win. V ickery, who lias sold
corn every year Tor the last forty, says his
corn crop is better than last year. The
Thorntons have fine crops on the Carter
place. Mike Johnson's plantations on the
river have not suffered a day for rain, and
the crops are fine. We have been having
good rains in the last few days, and if too
much does not fall the cotton crop of Hnrt
will be a good one. Some sections of the
county have sulfercd very much for rain,
hut mosf of, ffce farmers who have suffered
most don’t owe a dollar, and always have
money to buy what they want—such men
as J. S. Herndon, J. E. Teasley, W. A.
Hilliard, and others.
INDIAN DEI'KEDATIONS.
The fair reader shudders when she thinks
of the settler’s wife watching, frorft the
door of her rude hut, the retreating form
of her husband going out to his daily la
bor —going out perhaps to return not
again, for before nightfall a savage hand
may have laid him low among the nrairie
grasses. Or it may be a child, a bright
eyed daughter, is snatched away in an un
guarded moment, to grace the next war
dance. When the heartrending details of
these savage depredations, wo arc apt to
blame tho government for not taking more
strict precautions to insure the settler’s
protection. But wc daily read of the dep
redations of that arch-fiend, consumption,
with scarcely a thought of the terrible in
roads it is insking in human life. Tens of
thousands of homes are annually desolated
by consumption to one of Indian outrage.
Like the Indian, consumption oftenest
comes stealthily, and no danger is appre
hended until the victim suddenly finds
himself hopelessly ensnared, and death’s
fatal arrow ends tho scene. Hr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, a powerful al
terative, or blood-purifier, ami tonic, lias
restored thousands of consumptives who
had tried every other remedy recommend
ed to them, without obtaining any relief,
and are willing to testify to its remedial
powers.

Mu. Editor : I beg space for a few
thoughts in your valuable columns. Have
you ever visited the 1115th district? ff
so there were one or two things you failed
to see, and that was a school house and a
law house. I was born and reared in this
district and live in it now, and if there is
a school house or a law house it is beyond
my knowledge. The people need not say
that they want good schools. If they did
they would certainly build houses. I
know of two cabins in this district that
pass for school houses ; but if a traveler
should pass through unacquainted with
this section of country he would take those
two cabins to be still houses, or if near a
residence to be hen houses. No well bred
or refined teacher is going to teach in any
such hog pens, and just as long as this dis
trict keens such houses, just so long will
the people here be wanting good and pro
ficient teachers. J. B. M.

Wc have had excellent rains. The sea
son is better than any we have had this
year, but is not very general, some parts ot
the county is still in great need of rain.
The public mind (of Elbcrtod especially)
is being considerably excited in the interest
of the county court.. It seems to bo the
desire of some, and the better and wiser
class, too, that there should ho an net of
tlie Legislature authorizing tho appoint
ment of a Solicitor for the court, and to
that end some are exerting their most en
thusiastic energy. There are several aspi
rants for the Solicitorship who are united
in tlie common eauso of obtaining tlie pas
sage of the act by tlie Legislature author
izing such a tiling, hut arc most zealous ri
vals as to who shall have the place. And
here we desire to state tho effect that this
institution lias had upon the politics of the
county. For several years past fanatic as
pirants for tiie Legislature linve raised a
fiowl about tho court as being an expense
to the county, hence an unnecessary bur
den upon tlie people. Thcso men have
made great use of this fallacious idea by
exciting tlie discontent of men who have
been so unfortunate as to havo had decis
ions rendered against them by the court.
It is a noted fact that,' elections liave been
carried by tho unfounded enthusiasm of
these malcontents, and men have been
elected to office who had no recommenda
tion save that they opposed the county
court —that is, that they opposed it in np
pearancc, but not in principle. And now,
since tho elections nre all over and it is
some time before another, those who have
been elected under this pretense arc said to
have come to the conclusion that they are
not opposed to the county court, and it is
thought that they will do nothing to abol
ish it. The gooil people of the county nro
much gratified at learning that those who
have not scrupled to rule into office on the
hacks of fanatics are not likely to strike a
a blow that would he so destructive to tho
interest of their people, notwithstanding
their plighted word to do so. Tho court is
acknowledged by thinking and sensible
men to he the best institution of local gov
crnmcnt..t]lQj Jgq Jinve, aiid pbojition
wovld be a calamity" indeed. ** i no present
incumbent, Judge E. P. Edwards, is a man
highly competent to discharge the duties of
the office, and feels the importance of the
position fie occupies, and doubtless he will
in future, as he nas ever done in the past,
demean himself as a gentleman and scholar
worthy of the confidence that his position
demands. The crisis, however, has not
come. The time is not far distant when
the politics of tho county will he handled
in a more judicious manner than they have

The intellect and virtue is now arraying it
self against the vice and corruption, and
which is to bo successful in the battles is
positively known if we are to judgo by the
political history of the world. There arc
some as yet who arc disposed to use this
same nonsensical idea of abolishing the
court as capital for the next election. If
they do, we feel authorized in saying that
they will be so disappointed and chagrined
that they will leave the field forever and
and will rapidly sink into their natural in
significance.
On Friday last the investigating trial of
the men who were charged with going in
the night to a negro’s house and attempt
ing to Kill him, took place at Bowman, ft
is said that there were five hundred on the
court ground. The State and the prisoners
were both well represented. The State,
liewever, failed to make out any case, and
the prisoners were all discharged. It is
thought that the negro’s wounds, although
painful, arc not serious. The facts of the
affray are not familiar, or wo would give
them. However, it is true that the negro
is shot and the one who did it is not known.

John Byron says it rained on the first

it should come incessantly, as in the days

would dread it worse than they aid the

The school at Shoal Creek Academy is
now quite flourishing, numbering near (JO
students. The manner in which the school
is conducted, the eagerness on the part of
the children to attend and the commenda

all speak in the highest terms of Miss Liz

efficient teachers.

Many a Dollar formerly Spent on ex
pensive Sulphur Baths is now saved by
substituting therefor Glenn’s Sulphur
Soai>, which is just as beneficial hut infi
nitely cheaper. Local disease of the skin,
rheumatism and gout nre all relieved by
this standard remedy. Complexional
blemishes are eradicated by it, and it im
parts to the cuticle a nearly whiteness and
velvety softness which greatly enhance tho
effect of female charms. Its soothing, an
tiphlogistic action constitutes it a prime
remedy for sores, ulcers, cuts, sprains,
scalds, bruises, and in fact every abnormal
condition of the cuticle attended hy in
tlanimation, swelling or itching. Ladies
moving in our best society speak of its
beautifying properties in enthusiastic
terms, and give it a docided preference to
cosmetics which merely conceal but do
not. like Glenn's Sulphur Soap, eradicate
defects of the complexion. The use of
ointments for eruptive complaints is to be
deprecated because of their having a tend
ency to clog the pores and in some cases
to aggravate rather than remedy tho dis
ease. They are, besides, seldom thorough
enough in their effects to prevent tho re
currence of eruptions of an inveterate
type, and have the disadvantage of soiling
the linen of persons who use them. Glenn’s
Sulphur Soap, on tho contrary, radically
cures tho diseases to which it is adapted
and still further recommends itself on ac
count of its cleanliness. It is besides, an
admirable disinfectant of clolhing which
has been worn hy persons afflicted with
diseases of a contagious nature. Asa
specific preventive and promoter of the
general health it presents advantages of
the most unequivocal description.
