-Mrs. J. M. Pratt Sr., is still quite
sick and but little hope of her recov
ery. Dr. J. L. Sappington is at ten d
ihg her since Dr. Poer left for the
West.
Rev. J. M. Callaway occupied his
pulpit on last Saturday and Sunday
ai Shady grove, his appointment hav¬
ing been changed from the second to
ihe fourth Sabbath in each month.
Mr. Jasper Askew, S. J. and Joseph
Truett are through chopping and are
plowing the third time. But few far
mers of this country can lead the
above named gentlemen in prepara¬
tion and cullure on a farm..
Still the farmers are busy chopping
cotton only a few having finished
Owing to the backwardness of plant
ing corn looks healthy but as far riO
can see the plant is slender and looks
unfavorable to a good yield; at least
two weeks behind last year
Mr. G. W. Poer was assaulted by
a negro man, Dave McCulloughs, oij
last Sabbath evening on his premsies
and knocked down senseless with a
large rock by his assailant, and while
in this condition Dave made good
his escape. ♦
Congress has passed a bill giving a
cabinet place to agriculturists of
the Union. A good move in the
right direction, which will place the
farmers’ interest prominently before
the cabinet and will enable this class
of the sons of toil to at least expect
better limes in the near future.. We
trust it will meet with the approval
of the President.
President Jackson, of the State Al¬
liance, has issued his order for convo¬
cation of the county alliance to nq^et
and select two delegates to meet at
Atlanta soon to arrange the ways
and means to establish an Alliance
Agency in this state. This begins to
look like business in the proper di¬
rection. “So mote it be.”
C'ataula Chat.
Miss Emmie Sparks, of your city,
spent several days m our community,
the guest of the Misses Ellison.
Conductor C. A. Kindall. of the
G. M. & G., spent last Thursday in
our town, the guest of J. H. Moore
and wife.
Summer has opened up in good
earnest and the crop prospect, is as
good as we have ever seen in this
section at this time of year.
Our Sunday school has a large at¬
tendance and is increasing in interest.
They received their hymn books last
Sunday and we shall expect some
fine music soon.
The farmers are having splendid
weather now for killing grass which
got a little the advantage of them
during the recent rains, therefore cv
erybody is very busy and news is
worth a premium.
Mrs. Camp, of Waverly Hall, was
here last week on a visit to her daugh¬
ter, Mrs. Dr. Bussey, and if a big
smoke in the kitchen indicates what
we think it does, the old lady must
have fared royally, as this was her
first visit to the newly-married couple.
Mrs. Kolk, of Marietta, who has also
been on a visit to Dr. Bussey and
wife, left yesterday lor Waverly Hall,
where she goes to visit her daughter,
Mrs. Camp.
So far we have been blessed, as
there has not been a single candidate
in our midst, chink the people down
this way know what a self denying
set of patriotic fellows they are and
t j iat t ^ C y w jq treated right in the
capijpg election. However,we heard
genUeman say \he other day that
to $£ ? e one of them mighty
bad, as he only got the pleasure of
shaking hands with him when he was
a candidate and that pleasure had
only been offered him three or four
times during the past ten years.
Mrs. Henry F*
The Hlilloh P«p-(«ui».
Two new firms have just opened.
Prof. Ellis’ school scores 60 pupils.
There is not an empty storehouse
in the burg.
Shiloh still booms with the paint
brush and outrivals her sistei city,
Waverly Hall.
Owing to the breaking of a coupling
at Shiloh thiee persons sustained
slight injuries.
A negro man was poisoned by an¬
other negro near Flint Hill last week.
Jealousy the cause.
Mrs. Geo. Munro, of Buena Vista,
paid Shiloh a visit Monday, the
guest of Capt. W. Sparks.
The musical was quite a success,
and panned out $20 which goes to
help build the new academy.
Shiloh Academy is nearing com¬
pletion and will add much to the
interest and beauty of the town.
There were 14 Ga. M. cars filled
with stockholders and their families
who visited Columbus on the 17 inst.
We have a short man named Jef¬
ferson Benjamin Franklin Jonathan
Emery Jeremiah. He says he is the
only child and got all the names.
We already have a jfublic well on
R. R. street, which affords 9 feet
water and is only r 1 feet deep, so
you can account fur the water rising
in the “cellar.”
Mrs. Richards of Macon, is visit¬
ing her father, Col. Wm. Ellison.
Having lost her devoted husband
! j recently sympathy she and in her her sad children affliction, have
our
Sharp competition in everything
except in “inns.” The keeper of the
| inn piffled off his coat and rolled up
his sleeves when he heard the anony¬
mous dogerel read and said he would
reply, but has since cooled off “in the
cellar” and says Shiloh and Waverly
Ha l are both towns “Mirabile visu.”
Bennie Grant has invented a gra¬
zer that “taketh the cake” in the way
of portable grazers. Very thing for
lazy horse masters and doctors,horses,
&c. Try one, j(pu will find it very
convenient in stock law regions. Will
soon be patented when he will put
them on the market.
Examinations and mosquitos will
soon be in vogue out here. Mrs.
Ghorham’s examination will be about
the 15th of June, and Prof. Ellis’
school will hold its examination about
the last of June. They are both
guilt-edge teachers and “drive their
business along.” May your banners
waive to you success. We expect to
have all the candidates with us at our
examinations and will give them a
chance to “spread themselves.”

American Enterprise.
No invention of ihe nineteenth
century has worked a greater ‘revolu¬
tion in household economy or con¬
ferred more of a benefit on humanity
than the sewing r 7*i' machine.. . 1 > < *
-
The first productions were crude
and uncouth in the extreme, and it
was reserved for American skill and
ingenuity to bring forth a machine
of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great ad¬
vancement which has taken place
it is only necessary to compare one
of the machines built during the in¬
fancy of the invention with one of
the latest improved “Light-Running
New Home.”
All the reaMy good points con¬
tained in other machines have been
utilized in its construction. Many
new improvements and devices have
also been added, the result of which
is a machine as nearly perfect as it is
possible to make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease of
management and capacity for work,
the “Light-Running New Home” has
no rival, and the possessor of one
-may rest assured that he or she has
the very best the world affords. See

paper.
GOOD ADVICE ABOUT EATING.
Doctors Smashing Old Time Superstition#
About Different Kinds of Food.
Some recent remarks by Dr James CL
White, professor of dermatology in Har¬
vard university, are dirfectly in line with
an article published only a few days ago
in these columns on the subject of sensi¬
ble eating There is, of course, no sub¬
ject concerning which people need infor¬
mation more than they do about eating,
and there are very few subjects on which
more ridiculous notions are extant. “One
man’s meat is another man’s poison” is
an old and true saying, vet a great that ma
jority of mankind have ideas of diet
are formed from the experience of other
people, and these ideas are very commonly
absurd Dr. White disposes of some of
these notions, by the authoritative utter¬
ance of a thorough % scientist.
For example, e touches on the old
wives’ fable that butter in liberal quanti¬
ties will cause children’s faces to break
out with “butter sores.” He declares,
what intelligent people have long ^perfectly known,
that good butter uncooked is
harmless food so far as the skin is con¬
cerned, and he might have gone much
farther, for the limitation was unneces¬
sary. He says, however, that the notion
alluded to probably came from the fact
that the use of impure butter in food
otherwise indigestible may have dis-^-»
turbed the stomacli and produced impure
blood In some cases It is more likely to
have come from the efforts of* parents of
limited means to curb their children’s in¬
dulgence in an expensive dainty. It is
certain that much of the prejudice against
candy came from this particular cause, the
though with candy, as with butter,
prejudice is entirely justifiable in grades. refer¬
ence to adulterated and impure
Nothing is more common than to hear
parents tell their children that eating
candy will ruin their teeth, but it is most
likely to be an utterance dictated by
economy At all events, no educated
dentist will indorse the statement.
The notion that buckwheat cakes and
oatmeal are productive of skin diseases is
also attacked and pretty thoroughly well de¬
molished by Professor White, as as
that absurdity about tomatoes which was
started by Dio Lewis a generation or so
ago. He said that tomatoes were pro¬
ductive of cancer, and that they loosened
and destroyed the tpeth. Dr. White de¬
clares tomatoes and oatmeal to be harm¬
less and valuable foods, and points at the
simple fact that the only danger In eat¬
ing buckwheat lies in the fact that
it is apt to be served up hot in the form
of improperly cooked cakes. These may,
and are very likely to, upset the diges¬
tion. He declares, moreover, that a good
digestion and a healthy appetite will tak e
care of the skin so far as the effects of
"food are concerned, and that it matters
little what kind of food is used so long as
it is pure, of good quality and properly
prepared. ft The healthy stomach will turn
into good blood This, it will be seen,
is a similar utterance to that of Dr. Aus¬
tin Flint, recently quoted, only that Dr.
White, treating as he did on the skin only,
did not make so sweeping a statement as
Dr. Flint, who said. “Eat what you like,
wh^n you like, and eat as much as you
' like. Vqu may ,r —-New get gout that way, and Ex- out
dyspepsia. York Mail
