a pleasant call from him yesterday af¬
ternoon and is glad to note that down
the country agrees with him.
We are indebted to Mr. Calvin
Hardy of Cochran’s district for some
very fine peaches, which he brought
to our office Tuesday. He says that
his trees did not bear well this year,
but the quality of the fruit is excel¬
lent. Those we received were large
and luscious, and lie has our thanks.
A card from Miss Sue Surles, of
the Chipley temperance union, in¬
forms us that the district convention
of the W. C. T. U , which was to
have been held in that place this
month, has been postponed to some
time in November. The exact date
has not yet been decided by the dis¬
trict secretary, Mrs. S. Blanchard.
There was a large attendance at
Catania campmeeting Sunday but it
is thought the crowd was not so great
ns in former years. Rev. W. M.
Hayes the presiding elder of the Co¬
lumbus district, filled the pulpit in
the morning and preached a very fine
sermon. He is justly considered one
of the finest preachers in the South
Georgia conference and well sustain
ed his reputation in Sunday morn¬
ing’s discourse. A large number of
Hamiltonians were present.
As will be seen by reference to the
catalogue, the fall term of the West
Georgia A. & M. college will open the
20th of August. The president, H.
A. Hayes, is a young man uf superi¬
or intellectual ability and all his tal
ents and energies are enlisted in the
effort to place this college on an
equality with the best educational in¬
stitutions of the state. During the
time he has been teaching here he
has proved himselt a thoroughly com
petent instructor, and a Christian gen
tlem an, to whom our people may
safely entrust the education of their
children. He is determined to have
trained teachers to fiil the college
departments, and all he requires to
make success sure, is the hearty co¬
operation of the people, It all will
unite and give him support and pa¬
tronage, this town ca i be made an
educational center as it svas in the
earlier years of the institution.
The time and attention of our peo¬
ple should now be much engaged in
the preparation lor the county fair.
Every man, woman or child in the
county who is skilled in any line of
work should have something to place
on exhibition. Numerous premiums
are offered and the successful com
petitors will not only gain credit for
themselves but will reflect it on the
county. Let us all go to work and
have a fine county exhibit, which will
(

A SEVERE REBUKE.
In ante-bellum days the Rev.
William M—, usually called unde
Bil'y, a Primitive Baptist preacher,
was a member of the Georgia Senate.
Uncle Billy had been a soldier in the
Chorokee and Semipole war, was
widely known in Middle Georgia and
was very populai. He was a man of
stron g intellect, very independent in
thought and action and gifted in native
eloquence, though unlearned in books,
The removal of the capitol from Mil¬
ledgeville was frequently discussed
andalways produced much excitement
and opposition with the people of
Milledgeville and their friends,
Uncle Billy had introduced^ bill to
remove the capitol from Milledgeville
to Griffin and much excictment fol
lowed. In due time the bill came up
for discussion and action. This pro
duced great excitement in the town.
It was generally known on that day
uncle Billy would make a speech in
favor of removal, and men and women
worked hard to prevent removal.
On the day the gallery of the Senate
was crowded with men and ladies. Ic
was rare to see such an array of beau¬
ty and fashion. Every available
space was occupied. Uncle Billy
commenced his speech in a conver¬
sational way but as he proceeded he
warmed with the subject and he be¬
came really eloquent. In the midst
of his eloquent appeals the ladies his¬
sed—hissed—hissed. The old man
stopped and casting his eagle eye to
the gallery exclaimed: “Mr. Presi¬
dent there are but two things in all
the universe that hiss—the viper for
its venom and goose for its folly.”
The hissing ceased and was not re
peated and he proceeded with his
speech* '
His bill failed to pass, but his re
buke was not forgotten.
