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. Wauled. Baker's Ferry, Elbert County,Ga., \ July 22d, 1879 / Editors Hartwell Sun : The under signed wishes to correspond with a young lady. He is a bachelor. 36 years of age ; fair complected, blue-eyed and has chest nut hair. I like to correspond with a lady from twenty-live to thirty-five years of age. I would not object to her being a widow. My address is. John Alex. l)u- Bosc, Baker's Ferry, Elbert County, Ga. 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. A. F. MERRELL & CO., Pliila., Pa. Dr. Pemberton’s Stillingia or Queen’s Delight. The reports of wonderful curcsof Rheumatism, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Syphilis, Cancer, Ulcers and 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.

The want of grass is telling upon the cattle in this country. Miss MaUie VanDuzer, of Elbcrton, is on a visit to our town. John Thornton is teaching a line school at Thornton's Academy. The new depot at Bowersville. a neat and substantial structure, is finished. Notwithstanding the effects of the great drought, our farmers appear cheerful. Oh, Jimmy Harper, did the drought cut off the crop of corns on Chedel’s feet ? Appearances indicate an unusually large attendance on campmeetiug this week. The protracted meeting at the Baptist Church has, wc think, sown some good seed. The square and the streets arc beginning to develop gullies. This should not be allowed. Communion services were hold in the Baptist Church last Sabbath, Rev. P. C. Boykin preaching the sermon. George Durrctt, the negro that carved Mr. Dooly, has been lodged in jail. This building now lias three inmates. We will issue only a half sheet next week, in order that all hands and the “devil” may attend campmeetiug. ■ All merchants who want Crockery, Lamps, show cases, wooden-ware send to Mcßride & Cos., Atlanta, for price list. Rev. Mr. Boykin says the amount of paint used on the buildings in Hartwell speaks well for the thriftiness of the place. Let the Stockholders of the Hartwell Railroad all attend the meeting next Sales day. Business of importance will be transacted. Pob Brown, the barber, will be in Hart well during campmeeting, and will be pre pared to cut hair and shave in the latest and most approved style. A big o’possum was caught in Hon. A. G. McCurry’s yard Monday. It was as fat as a butter ball, thanks to the honor able gentleman's chickens. Col. W. Y; Holland skipped into town Saturday. He is lively as a cricket, active as a flea and got as much business about him as the rear-guard of a yellow jacket. If any old maid, widow or woman of any kind wants to correspond with a chestnut sorrel, read article signed “John Alex. Dußose, Baker's Ferry, Elbert Cos., Ga.” We have noticed one thing, that those crops the most thoroughly cultivated have withstood the drought much better than those badly cultivated. Stick a pin there. Owing to the illness of C. W. Seidell, Secretary of the Agricultural Society, we were forced to omit that department this week. We are glad to see Charley on the streets again. “ Boom ”is about worn threadbare. It is high time to lay it away with “ My Grandfather’s Clock,” and other antique furniture. “ Cheese it,” as the cook said to the macaroni. James Brewer, of Elbert, one of Hop’s progressive sons, was in Hartwell Satur day. He says he hns’the best prospect for a corn crop he has had for years. Jim’s a good egg. Work on the railroad is progressing very well, but wouldn’t it be a good idea for property owners to build some neat dwell ing houses to rent and sell? They will certainly be in demand. We have been requested by the relatives of Mrs. Margery Skelton, who died in our town recently, to extend their most sin cere and heartfelt thanks to the good peo ple of Hartwell for their kind attention to her in her last illness. -Just as soon as God’s people commenced to pray earnestly for rain it came in tor rents. We hope another year they will not put if off so long. When they hum ble themselves and pray in earnest their prayers are answered. 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. “Whither are you hound?” said John Moore, as he stood in the doorway of his establishment, and saw his old Friend Sam Rogers walking slowly past. The latter, with sunken eyes and pallid visage, bear ing evidences of disease, hastened to reply, “ I have long suffered all the horrors aris ing from an inactive liver, and am going to the office of Dr. Slow to seek relief.” “ Do no such thing,” said his frind, “when you can buy a bottle of Portalino, or 'fabler's IJver Regulator, for only 50 cents, and he permanently relieved. It will cure Dys pepsia, Heartburn, Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, and all disorders of a torpid liver.” For sale by E. B. Benson & Cos. 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 States. Their manufactory is in New York 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 ton, S. C., and Atlanta, Oa., and their's is the only wholesale clothing house that de serves the name in Georgia. May this Hightower stand the commercial storms in future with the same success that has blessed in past. So mote it be. The Washington (Ga.) Gazette has dis covered the negro, who blacked President Yanßuren's boots, and if this drouth lasts much longer we confidently expect that some paper, possibly The Hartwell Sun, will solve the vexed mystery as to who blacked the eye of Mr. William Pat terson.—Anderson Journal. Certainly we can give you the desired information, it was your own dear cousin, a big flop eared mule. lie resembled you some what about the cheek. Call on us again when you need any biographical informa tion. P. C. Boykin, Baptist State Sunday School Evangelist, has been visiting the churches in the county for the past week. 11c delivered a feeling lecture to the Sun day Schools of this place in the Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, fie preached also several sermons during ttic protracted meeting at that church. He is a very earn est, forcible preacher, and seems to bo thoroughly imoued with the good work he is engaged in. F. 0. Mays, with Hunt, Rankin & La mar, was in our town last week. Mr. Mays is one of the most genteel, pleasant anil agreeable gentlemen of those who arc known as commercial travelers from the Gate City. The house of Hunt, Rankin & Lamar is a big concern, and no 15x18 room with a dozen men drumming for them on commission. Atlanta should he proud of all such concerns. Joe Wilson, of the News, says McGill will put on a clean shirt when tho Hart well Railroad is finished. Yes, and we intend to arm ourself with a corn cob, jump on the train for Toccoa and take Joe out to the falls and scrub some of the dirt from behind his ears. The public gener allv is invited to witness this centennial exhibition. Excursion trains will run from Elhcrton and Hartwell. The Gazette boasts that Elberton has a Koon that weighs 225 pounds and is a good shoemaker. Well, newspapers are privil eged to prevaricate a little—just a little, 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 ’em out of a well, you know. Dear Bell :—Our commencement ex ercises are over. 1 have received my di ploma, and ai now ready to enter with zest into the pleasures of gay society.

Mrs. Sanders lived a consistent member of tho Baptist church for 55 years. Sho leaves a largo family to mourn her death. Her funeral will he preached at Line church on the 3d Sunday in September. 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. Kaili-oml Notice. Those who subscribed to the stock of the Hartwell Railroad Company, to be paid in labor, are notified that the Construction Company arc now ready to receive tho same. By order of the President. July 10, 1879. E. B. Benson, Sec. Reed truck. 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. Vickery’* Academy. Messrs. Editors : Please allow me space in your fine little paper for a few items from this section. The cry for rain is no longer heard, as our people have been abundantly blessed with fine showers. Our farmers are through work for a sea son The school at this place is very progres sive.

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 been since the war, and tho line between true patriotism and ostentatious gabble will he more strictly drawn, and the char acter of aspirants to ofilce will ho portray ed to the public eye in flashing colors. 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. For the last week the town has been an noyed to death with drummers. IV. B.

Old man Linder hus near twenty of bottom cotton on the river, winch will make a hale to the acre. Uncle Johnnie supervised his farm this year in person, and has got everything in “ apple pie ” order. John J. Goforth has gone to the saw-mill again. John would not fear to change worlds if he thought the lumber trade would be good in the next. Joseph Maret & Sons have enlarged their gin house, and have put everything in readiness for business. John Byron says it rained on the first dog day and will rain every day for the next forty. We don’t know, but think if it should come incessantly, as in the days of old father Noah, the majority of people would dread it worse than they aid the drouth. 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 tions on the part of the different patrons, all speak in the highest terms of Miss Liz zie and Mr. Willfc Gibson as worthy and efficient teachers. Shoal Creek Factory is now doing a good business. Capt. J. N. Edwards is always at his post ready to serve his customers.

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. Sold by Druggists.
