Now is the time to sow turnips, and the present copious season should not be allowed to pass by unimproved. Turnips, like the darky s rabbit, “isgood for everything.” But if you have 110 turnips, the simile still holds good, “they are good for nothing.” Mothers A! list not Forget!

I tried calomel and other worm medicines, but failed to expel any worms. Seeing Mr. Bain’s certificate, I got a vial of your Worm Oil, and the first dose brought forty worms, and tire second dose so many were passed I did not count them, S. II. Adams. july 12 , j-m. Sunday School Celebration. A friend at Berzelia, writes us of an interesting Sunday School Celebration which lately occurred at Linwood church, some three or four miles in the country, south of that place. The celebration was conducted by Mrs. Mc¬ Cormick, a lady noted for her zeal in the great cause of Sunday Schools and re¬ ligious matters. Religious.

An Impecunious Traveler. On Tuesday last there was a lady ' trav eler , . town, , with ... , her little boy, , child .... in a about 8 i yearn old, in a destitute condi tion. bhe stated she had staged at the hotel Monday night, and was trying to get get to to Ausrusta Augusta, where wlieie her her mother mother re- re sided. She said she was from Car tersville tersvilie. She She mneared appealed to to be he an an honest honest woman, but it seems a little strange she should start on so long a journey with out means to pay her w .

We learn that the rains this week have quite partial, in somo sections of the county. We learn that Air. C. L. Bagby will open liis tin-shop the latter part of this week or the first of next. We heard a lady say the other evening that the popular house of C. Myers’ was the cheapest place to buy goods in the United States. ! A Wilkes county ,r&an opposes Mr. Stephens because he is 'an “incorrigible old stump speaker.” Hoop-la! Set’em up on the other alley. The “Little Aleck” Base Ball Club played a match' game of bait with the White Plains Club yesterday. We have not heard how they closed the game. Our Steam Mill has had a large new boiler put in operation, and friend Branch is now prepared to make as good meal or flour as you may want. Remember when you want any work in the printing line, don’t forget that The Democrat job office will do your work cheaply, neatly and promptly.— Give us a trial. We notice among other visitors in at tendance at the annual meetings of the Baptist Church, of this place, several parties from the counties of Greene, Wilkes and McDuffie. We learn that two sudden deaths occurred at Union Point last week.— One a Mr. Wooten, from a congestive chill, and the other a lady, but we failed to learn her name or the cause of her doatli.

Since our farmers hive laid-by their crops, we notice a larger number in town, and if it was not for tlie scarcity of “the circulating meflium” they would no doubt do a large amount of trade. Fodder pulling is now in order, however, and we shall soon again miss tlicir honest faces from our streets for a time. Then will begin to come in “the llcecy staple,” and business wiil revive. Ilad the promise of a good crop been fulfilled, ws should this fall have l.ad a happy as well as an independent people. Well, we can but hope for lietter luck next time. Mineral Spring. A mineral spring upon the plantation of Mr. J. VV. Darracott about two miles north of Crawfordville, the existence of which had been known for years, have lately attracted the attention of several of our citizens. The water contains snlDhur sulphur, iron iron, and ana several several oiner other mine- mine r als which we are not chemist enough to determine, and we believe the water is said by all who have visited it to con tain positive ... medical , qualities. .... Me hope Mr. Darracott will have the water of this spring analyzed, and fully tested a s to its medical properties. Should it prove to be all that is hoped for it, it m ay yet prove to be a blessing to the sick. I.lrrr le Wing.

Never despair—there’s a good time a coming. The business of the doctors is looking U P considerably. What lias become of The Democrat’s “Short-Stop-er Dust in Sharon, lias gotten to be a thing of the past. Mr James II. Flynt has the finest crop in his vicinity—the best he has had since the war. The Augusta News fails to credit the “Sharon Department..” The -Notes ,is a good paper for all that. The only death in Sharon since the first of January was caused from Thur mal fever, on the 8 th inst. Camp meeting will commence at Fountain camp-ground on Thursday be¬ fore the first Sunday in September next. Is it a sin to play marbles ? The col¬ ored brethren of Johnson’s church are determined to sift the matter to the bot¬ tom. A very bright star may be seen every evening just after sun sets in the East. It is the planet Jupiter. Look at it to¬ night. Can not Mr. Stephens turn his chariot Sharon-ward, and favor 11 s again with his presence, and a speech ? We will assure him a rousing crowd, and a regu¬ lar Rebel yell of a welcome. Harry Hill, the genial, courteous and gentlemanly conductor of the Washing¬ ton Branch of the Ga. K. It., lias already rendered himself quite a favorite all along the line of that road. A Northern journal speaks of the “old time Southerner” as having been relegated to the garret. It is a mistake —the “old time 'Southerner” is yet ex* taut, and the salt of the new South. The thoroughly organized don’t like the term Independent—they seem to forget that “independence” was the boon for which our forefathers fyughjt, bled and died. ,«<>“’ W ’.

He commences his second term with very flattering prospects, having retained nearly all his former pupils, and added several new ones to his list. We learn he will have near forty in attendance this term. A glorious revival has just closed at the Methodist church at Barnett. It was conducted by ltevs. James L. Pierce, B. A. Johnson and others, and resulted in the conversion of quite a number of persons, of whom twelve or more were added to the church there. The negro woman who died at Spring field colored church on the third Sunday in July last immediately after having been immersed, died, doubtless, of congestion of the brain.

[ Vormnunwated.) Sunday School Celebration. Raytown Friendship Sabbath School, (col.,) had their annual celebration on Saturday, .‘id, inst., which was distin¬ guished for some' very interesting feat¬ ures. The exercises of the day com¬ menced by Rev. J. It. Jones offering up prayer. The beautiful song “Shall we gather at the river,” was then sung by the two Schools, New Hope and Friend¬ ship ; after which Rev. G. F. Moore made the opening address, and was fol¬ lowed by W. H. and W. W. Johnson, The exercises of both Schools was then commenced, by making Biblical quota¬ tions, which were <' l!r y entertaining. A sumptuous repast was then served. Dinner over Silas Stevens delivered an address, followed by D. W. Boatncr. The number of members composing the above Schools are as follows: Friend¬ ship, 1U; New Hope, no. They are in a growing condition, and advancing in intelligence, enlightenment and piety. Besides Friendship can boast of a day school, consisting of 60 students, under the auspices of its efficient teacher, D. W. Boatncr, w-ho deserv e a liberal pat¬ ronage. I am happy to*ay that the col¬ ored race is making pr ogress in intelli¬ gence and advancing in true enlighten¬ ment and civilization. All passed off quietly. Concord of sentiment, harmony of feeling and union ol heart having prevailed.
