VOL XV.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The first number of the Woodbury
Hot Blast has reached us. It is a
very cleverly edited paper, full
matter of local interest and deserves
success.
A reunion of the 14th Georgia
regiment, C. S. A. veterans will be
held at Albany, Ga., on the 6th of
September. A number of members
of this gallant regiment live in Harris
county and some of them think of
attending.
A New York house recently failed
having, according to the statement o (
experts who have examined their
books, assets worth $23,000,000 wit
liabilities amounting to $16,000,000. and
They just speculated too much
got into a “box.” There is a lesson
here.
The Atlanta Constitution has a
lottery drawing advertised for the 1st
of January. The capital prize is
only $500, which is not much for
100,000 subscribers, but Mr. Henry
W. Grady, who is generally credited
with the editorship of the Weekly
Constitution, if he expects to be our
next democratic Vice President must
wash his hands of the lottery business.
Mean whiskey caused the riot at
Decatur which resulted in the death
of two men and th* mortal wounding
perhaps of another. It is doing
more than anything else to bring
about a war between the races and
the desperate jnen who are using the
negro by inflaming his race prejudice
that they may continue to get money
by degrading their fellows, will be
largely responsible for it.

A GOOD IDEA.
The proposition of Mr. Henson
Estes that the legislature pass a char¬
ter for the Western & Atlantic Rail¬
road Company and that the state sell
the road to this company, in shares
of $100 each, per value, selling to
the bidders who offer the highest
price for stock, is certainly worthy of
consideration. It offers a practical it
solution of a knotty problem and
would secure to the state the highest
possible price. It would enable citi
zens of the state who have limited
means to bid on an equal footing
with men of great wealth and would
insure the purchase of much stock
by the citizens of the state. A pro¬
vision might be made for leasing the
road provided the minimum price
was not offered for stock.

SALEM CAMPMEETING.
The Salem camp ground, is in
Troup county, near the-Harris coun¬
ty line, 7 miles from Chipley and 10
miles from Hamilton and is near by
Salem church. A large and commo¬
dious arbor, well seated, accommo
dates the congregation, The services
began Friday night, Aug. 26th, with
a good list of tent-holders and a fine
attendance of people. A light ram
settled the dust and contributed much
to the occasion. The hospitality of
the place is proverbial and fully jus¬
tified the high reputation of its pa
trons. Good cheer abounded and

cordial greetings welcomed the visi¬
tors. Some other places might ex¬
hibit more of fashion and folly but
none could surpass in tasteful ele¬
gance in dress and manners. The
best of order prevailed and much
good was done. Dr. Mixon, Revs.
Jarrell, Bell, Park Jones, McGregor,
Smith, Askew, McGee and others
were present and preached the gospel
with unmistakable emphasis. The
singing was thrilling and the services
altogether were well conducted. Rev.
A. J. Jarrell is a host within himself,
an easy, graceful speaker, often elo¬
quent and at times very forcible and
instructive. The great sermon of the
occasion was by Dr. Mixon on Sun¬
^ a y j z o’clock, from Eclesiastes,
^ chapter, 10th verse. The Dr/s
able exposition was profound and
heart-searching, and few in that large
audience will fail to remember the
home truths taught. Many doubt
the utility of campmeetings, but a
close observer will be impressed with
the good both spiritually and as a so¬
cial element. It is surely wise to
withdraw for a time from the busy
and sordid cares of life and take a
spiritual and mental benefit, Like
bread cast upon the waters, the fruit
will be gathered after many days and
in that great day for which all other
days were made. Many will date
their rescue by impressions made at
carapmeeting. It often reaches some
men not otherwise approachable. accessions
There were about thirty to
the church and we may safely say
that much good was done.

The Barbecue.
List Thursday we enjoyed an old fash¬
ioned Georgia barbecue. The very name
is appetizing and the mention of it will
came the months of many of onr readers
to water as they reeall the pleasnres at¬
tendant upon a like occasion. This bar¬
becne was at the home of Mr. Reuben B«
Mobley, fire miles northeast of Hamilton
and it was enjoyed by about two hundred
of his neighbors and friends. The prom¬
ise of savory meats well cooked brought
representatives from every part of the
county. Many had come fifteen or twen¬
ty miles and we believe all felt amply
repaid for their trip in the repast they
enjoyed. The pit was dag and tables
were spread in ti e beautiful grove in front
of Mr Mobley’s residence, near bis fine
carp pond. The meats were barbecued
by Col A F Cardwell, who has a fine reps
ntation for excellence in this line and be
foaud an able second in Capt. Mart Adams
who is himself an expert. Shote, mut¬
ton, kid and beef were cooked over a
slow fire from sunrise until noon and the
very woods were redolent with the appe¬
tizing savor of cooking meats. It was
refreshing to see the rush for the tables
when the dinner was ready and every
man ate as if he had been long saving
himself for the occasion. The capacity
of the crowd was large, but it had been
well measured and when everybody had
eaten enough several untouched peices
still spluttered over the embers in the
pit. The day will long be long remem¬
bered by two hundred or more Harris
oonnty epienres.
The Mind Cure.
The theory o' the mind cure may do for
so.ne hysterical cases, but for chronic bow*
el troubles, croup colic, diarrhoea, dysen
tery, Dr Biggers’ Huckleberry Cor ial is
the surest and best cure. Keen it.
The Life of a Child.
Mr W L Fain, a large emomisaon mer¬
chant, says he owes the life of h’s child to
Dr Biggers Huckkber'y Cordial. It always
gradually checks the bowels and does not
constipate as many do.

LOCAL.
Monday night the bleak weather September turned cool
and Tuesday was a day.
An early fall is predicted.
All the travel Atlantaward from this
section now goes verdict by the Qeorgia Midland.
The general is that it is a tip top
road.
Ninety days time at cash price, one new
Centennial Gin—45 saw and Condenser
cheap. Will pay for its nse in ginning
up a crop. Rollin Jefferson.
Harris oonnty never had a finer upland
corn crop and branch bottoms have done
as cell as they conld do. It is thought
bat little oorn will be shipped here anoth
er year.
Hamilton is ripe for a small manufao«
taring enterprise. Our citizens will
nearly all take stock in any venture that
has the promise of suocess. All are agreed
that this is a fine place to make something
and we hope this agreement will cnlmi
nate in some enterprise that will help
to build up the town*
The Journal had a pleasant call Taes»
day from Dr B G Poer. He represents
the cotton crops in the western part of
the county as very forward, and thinks
there is a great falling off from the pros¬
pect three or fonr weeks ago. The weed
is larger bat in many fields it has bnt
little if any fop orop.
The opening of the West Georgia A. &
M. College being postponed nntil 12th of
September will give all patrons ample
time to get the children ready to enter
the firBt day of school. We hope there
will be a grand rally and everybody will
oome np to the support of the institution
that should be the pride of the eounty.

Deafness Can’t be Cured
by local appMcations, as tl ey cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only on 3 way to cure deafness,and that U by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucus li¬
ning of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the r.sult, and
unless tAe infhimation can be faken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi¬
tion hearing will be destroyed forever;nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,wh>ch
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (eaused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall’s Ca
tirih Cure, bend for circular, free.

Iteresting to Ladies;
Our lady ready readers caa hardly fail
to have their attention oalled this week
to the latest combination of improve¬
ments in that most nsef nl of all do nestio
implements, the sewing machine.
As we understand it, a machine for
family nse shonld meet first of all these
requirements : It should be simple in its
mechanism; it should run easily;it should
do a wide range of work; it should be as
nearly noiseless as possible: it should be
light, handsome, durable and as cheap as
is consistent with excellence throughout.
These conditions the “Light-Running It
New Home” oertainly meets. has also
several very important and useful attach
meets and ‘notions’ of its own, whioh go
far to good its olaims to popular favor.
The ‘New Home’ specially reoommends
itself to purchasers on aocennt of its su¬
perior mechanioal construction, ease of
management and reasonable price. Over
half a million have been sold in the last
ibree years, all of which are giving uni
versal satisfaction. This unrivaled mi*
chine is msnnfactnred by tbeNEW HOME

M. A. Briggs:
Dear Sir:—My Step son, 16 years
old, has been sick 9 years, suffering
with sallow complexion, thin blood,
loss of appetite, great weakness and
swelling of his feet, legs and stomach.
His face was bloated,puffed and watery
looking (dropsical) his complexion be¬
ing very pale and yellow. He bad no
regular appetite and was too weak months, to
work, not having worked six
all told, in two years. I had tried 6
or 7 doctors and spent $300 to cure
him,but all failed. I had offered one
doctor $150 to cure him, but he re¬
fused to take the case. I had heard
so much about your Nunbetter Tonic
Pills I got 5 bottles (for $1) and gave
them to him. He is now entirely well
and has worked for 3 months in the
field steadily,and I consider paying him finally in¬
cured. Your pills are a
vestment for sick and puny people.
Yours resp., W H Cooper.
