Botbel church hns enjoyed a granotiH revival. Fi?e accessions to chnrch on profession of faith. Rev Hiram Dorman ono cf the oldest, Methodut preachers in Georgia is a member of this church. Mr Osoar Barnes and Wilkerson Sparks, two of Harris ceuniy’s oldest citizens are members also. By inc'uding Mr Mar shall Stevens of BetblehtmBap'ist chnrch in same community, with the above named worthies I don’t suppose Hny neigh! orhood in the county can piesent four men who have Reived this genera¬ tion longer than these faithful antiqnari niH Bethel church is located in oue of the most picturesque localities of the Valley region, but the roads to the hospitable homes of the people who worship there lead over the rockiest hills in Georgia. Mr Ja« Matthews says if he owed a man a billy road and he weald not accept the oue from Hamilton to Bethel be would never pay the debt. As an evidence of the fact that there is some good religion in t his old church some delicate women drove a hard headed Bslirns over these hills five or six miles very dark nights for a whole week Revs W A Farley, Craw ford Jackson and the circuit rider did the preaching. From Bethel to Mt Airy is over Oak mountain via Dowdie s Mill and Waverly llali. I aiu surprised that the enterprising people of Waverly Hall don't open up a good road .to Dowdell’s Mill to intersect other roads to Hamilton and the region. If they don’t do it they will prove to the world that they are wanting in enterprise, Three water mills lay iu our route, Oapt. W C John¬ ston’s, Dowdell’s and Marshall and Lcod. ard’s, all of whidi were damaged by the recent floods, hot have siuce been repair* ed and are now doing the usual grinding, ginning Sen , for their respective custom ers. Alas! how many bushels of western corn T.ill ho hauled thousands of miles for these old Georgia mills to grind be¬ cause the people planted all their bread in the bottoms and enthroned King Cot- j ton on the hills for the fall drouth to j come along and cat his head off. If they had only devoted some of his territory to corn they would have had bread. Ob! When will «e cease to worship King Cot too. Mt Airy is holding her own with the l same upright, clever citizens who have ocoupied (heir respective positions in the community for several years \ ast. Moral¬ ly and religiously the community »s as good as Georgia can produce. The pto pie are at this time lamenting the proba¬ ble loss of two of their best citizen ,Cap John Kennon and his son. But they are congratulating themselves that a good and upright man with lu excellent family will take their places, n«mJ\, Mr Dun c»n Phillips, of Talbot county. Capt Kennon has sold out to Mr Phillips, and if Capt K. does not get into satisfactory business by the 1st of January he speaks of going west. Rev Sam J Smith has just returned from Stewart county where he has been teaching school daring his college vaca¬ tion. Misses Anna and Nitiio Smith, his sisters, who attended him to Stewart for the benefit of his instruction returned with him. This section it seems is deter¬ mined to have their children educated. From Mt Ai»y to WaverlyHttll,fonr miles, Pricbitt Hill, eight miles, Ellerslie, four miles. At th(8s four points schools have been kept up all the year with over two hundred scholars in attendance a good part of the time. Prof Calhoun teaches at Waverly Hall, Miss Elda Huff at Mt Airy, Prof King at Prichitt Hill. Miss Kate Neal taught at Ellerslie the spring term and Prof Ed Rodgers the snmmer term, From Mt Airy we went to Shiloh via the Georgia Midlund. A year since we were at Shiloh. George Cook, the only merohant one year ago, has for his neigh¬ bors D xie Harris, formerly of Ha nilton, Tom Neal, of Mt Airy, and Dr Crawford. Dixie was as clever and looks as clever ont there as he did in Hamilton. We spent several days in the neighbor¬ hood of Sardis church and beard Revs. W E Mumford and N D Moorehonse of Talhotton preach some soul stirring ser mons. A gracious revival iu and ont of the church was the result of their labors We were the guest of Dr Frank Ellison, a more clever man Georgia doei not poa sess. We had the pleasure to see him unite with the church the last night o? our stay with him. We returned to Waverly Hall, where we met Harold Williams o & his way to Baltimore to he gone two years to finish his course in medioine. We oonld feel sad as we grasped bis hand for a good bye at the thenght we may never see him again. But Harold said he was going to be a good boy, and if he will keep bis promise we will meet again. Joe Luttrell is quite sick with malarial fever. Miss Emmie Sparks was the guest of Miss Nannie Pitts. Clay Farley and family from Thomas ton, are visiting relatives. Col McCulloughs and John Neal have a new ginnery at the depot. A new stock of goods has been put up by a man whose name is too long to re¬ collect, I H Pitts Sc Son seem to be doing well. Henry and Archie Byrd, two thrifty farmers, have a ginnery right on tt o rail¬ road half a mile from depot. Mr J E Appier keeps rnuking additional improvements to bis already elegant home and farm be has recently purchased aud improved The Georgia Midland pulls a through car for the Central of Georgia from At¬ lanta. 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 ha bits 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.
