Hamilton journal SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 A YEAR J. L. Dennis,. • • • • • • .Proprietor. HAMILTON, GEORGIA, August 5,....................... 1SS7. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. No paper next Tuesday. Another paper next Friday. The Salvationists failed to come. The weather has broken, but the rains continue. A very hard one fell here yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Dr. C. A. Brooks, of Amer icus, came up yesterday on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Georgia Copeland. Miss Mollie I,owe has returned from a visit to relatives and friends near Cataula and Waverly Hall. Mr. Willie Beall, of Talbot county, has been spending a few days in town with his sister, Mrs. H. C. Cameron. A continuation of the weather of the past week must inevitably injure upland crops. Low lands have al¬ ready been hurt. Col. J. M. Mobley, Judge W. I. Hudson, Misses Lula Mobley and Maggie Cook and Dr. Harold Wil¬ liams are up in Troup county to-day at a barbecue. The freshet took off five or six bridges in the county and in¬ jured a number of others. Every¬ thing considered, however, the loss sustained by the county is very light. The protracted services at the Methodist church were interrupted last week by the bad weather. Rev. W. A. Farley was to have preached Sunday moi ning but could not get here on account of the rain. Next Sunday is his regular appoint¬ ment here. Dr. W. L. Bullard, cf Columbus, lias issued a small pamphlet ' entitled Optical Hygiene, which treats upon the various diseases of the eye. It is an interesting work upon a subject on which Dr. Bullard is remarkably well posted, as he makes a specialty of the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear and nose. The pamphlet will be mailed to any address free upon application, and it should be in the hands of every one troubled with diseased or weak eyes. Meriwether Vindicator: Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Pace, of Cedartown, who have been visiting Mr. A. P. Dixon and family at Woodbury, came up to Greenville Tuesday afternoon to take the train for Hamilton. Mrs. Pace is a relative of Mrs. Dixon and ex¬ pected to go from Woodbury on the Georgia Midland on a visit to rela¬ tives in Harris county, but the wash¬ out on that road near Warm Springs compelled Mr. and Mrs. Pace to come to Greenville and take passage on the Greenville and Columbus rail¬ way. - The Buena Vista Tati lot says it is amusing for the Vindicator to speak ot Mrs.Revill as the Silent Partner of the establishment. Well, it is remark¬ able how silent our partner can be. We know of onlv one mortal that can v . keep quiet - , longer tnan our co-worker ____,___ and that happy being is Prof. Jno.n. Dozier, of the Hamilton Female Col¬ lege. It is a treat to hear him in one of his silent moods. Gifted, brilliant and genial as he is, it is a great pity the good man can't talk. 11 e. Rev. B. H. Sasnett and our Silent Partner had a silent party last Wednesday night at the Vindicator home which was highly enjoyed by us who did nothing but listen to the bright witti¬ cisms that kept passing round all the time. Hamilton has a rate jewel in Prof. Dozier. May he and his col¬ lege prosper and obtain all the patron¬ age of the surrounding territory.— Meriwether Vindicator. BLUE SPRING SPRAYS. Rain fell between Cataula and and Blue Spring last Wednesday af¬ ternoon. Messrs J. E. Reid and J, L. Davis visited Blue Spring yesterday, also Mr. J. M. Parker. Misses Susie and Foundlon Moore have returned from a visit, of several days to Salem, Ala. Mr. Henry Johnston and wife came down from Chipley Sunday to visit their aunt, Mrs. J. C. Reid. Mr. J. C* Reid has several acres of cotton which upon an average will amount to one hundred and twenty squares per staU. From what we have learned we think the meeting at Beech Spring was not very general, but guess from the number of pigs slain and other things in accordance there was a gen¬ eral eating. Dr. C. D. Adams, of Salem, Ala., and Mr. C. T. Broyles of Columbus, paid a pleasant visit to our village a few days since. Somehow I always feel good to see broils (Broyles) com¬ ing to our table. We hope the young man who was kind enough to let a certain young lady (Lil) have his coat while travel¬ ing during a recent storm and braved the “blow” with his duster on may never get bald-headed. Fruit drying and pickle and pre¬ serve making is the business of some of our industrious people while the sun shines, but the recent rainy spell has been a splendid time to receive call and cheer, or try to cheer, the farmer as hq leisurely walks ’round with a gloomy expression upon his handsome features. Although late we happily confess having spent a very pleasant day at the Kingsboro picnic. We were well entertained by the speakers, but the most interesting feature of the occa¬ sion (to us) was the elegant dinner so “tastefully” prepared and spread by Misses Ella and Fannie Hightow¬ er. “May their shadows never grow less.” Robie.

While I am not a betting man, said F J Cheney, of the firm of F J Cheney & Co.,I considered it my religious duty to make that fellow a bet, you see he was about dead, and I guess be would of died before spring, if I had not cf got him on the bet. You know some men had rather loose their life than lose a hundred, well he was one of that kind, and we both came near being out, but I saved my hundred and it only cost him ten dollars. How’s that ? He sent for me one day and said the doctors had ill given him up to die, with catarrh I told him that I would bet him $100 that Hall’s Catarrh cure would cure Lira or I would give hi.n $100 if it failed. He took the latter proposition. This was three months ago You see how he looks now, don’t you, as well ?s any cue,and a dandy. —American, Toledo. 0. jrar*So'd by druggists, 7o cents.

In Brief and to the Point. Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food.tough food,sloppy food bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, rregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dispepsia. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in leforming this sad business and making the Ameri¬ can people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Rc-member:-No happiness without health. But Green’s August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. A PHYSICIAN FROM IOWA. Dr. H. Munk, Nevada, la., states : Have been practicing medicine fifteen years, and of all the medicines I have ever seen for the botvels Dr. Biggers' Huckleberry Cordial is by far the best.
