Nothing was saved except the steam engine. One bale of cotton was burnt in the lint room. While it did considerable damage up this way. yet the effects of last Sunday’s storm was nothing in this section pf the State to what it was down on the coast. The papers report a severe storm all along the coast, ac companied by a large loss of life and property. i'F’The following is a list of dead letters remaining in the Post Oflice at this place, and will he forwarded to the dead letter office at Washington. I). C., if not called for in 30 days from this date : Mr. Martin Dillard, Miss Law Harrison, Mr. John Hunt, Rev. Green Lee, col’d, Mr. 11. R. Mitchell. ( rThe Hartwell Sun turns loose in the following manner upon what is beyond a doubt a disgusting habit. We reproduce it with tho idea that it might possibly be appli cable or of benefit to some of our church-goers or churches : “ There are so-called Christians who go to God’s house and spit tobacco juice over the floor so that a decent man can not kneel for prayer. If 3*oll were to go to the residence of one of these tobacco saints and spit puddles of filthy arnbere upon the floor lie would put you out of his house and set the clog on you. Do these filthy fellows think they would he admitted into Heaven with their pockets full of tobacco, and be allowed to squirt the filth}* fluid over the pearly gates and golden streets? If they can not spend one hour without it in worship upon earth, how will they pass endless ages without it? It would be far more genteel to pull out a flask of whisky in church and take a pull. Any man or boy who spits tobacco upon the floor of a church should be kicked out of the house by some stout man who wears No. 10 heavy boots, and such a kicker should be appointed at both the Baptist and Methodist churches in Hartwell.” The Gainesville, JefTerson & Southern R. R. This new narrow guagc railroad, which is extending its arms across the county in two directions, is destined to develop the countv in a manner that will be as unexpected as it is pleasing. Scared}' any one ever dreamed that Jackson county was rich in other things than her water power and agricultural pro ductions. But in this the}' have been mis taken. as I ween we’ll discover ere the rail road has been put into operation, which will be by the middle of the coming winter. Al ready has the pick of the construction hand let the light fall on as pretty kaolin as can be found anywhere. The cut worked by Mr. H. I). Jackson, near Laura City, is some 300 yards or more in length and from six to fif teen feet deep, the walls of which, for the the greater part of the way, look as though they were plastered and neatly finished. In other cuts 1 learn iron ore has been found in abundance; in others, more precious metals •md an excellent quality of slate. But we diil not begin the railroad to develop minerals and precious stones, but to improve the hus bandry, the markets, the schools, the civiliza tion, but if the minerals are here, we will throw them in to purchasers that may choose to purchase our lands and help us enjoy our many advantages. 1 he railroad is on a boom now, which will not abate till the steam horse awakens the echoes of our hills. And speaking of hills, reminds me that the most deceiving country in the county is that around Laura City. hile it is white and sandy, and, to a casual observer, appears a dead level, yet, when closely examined, it abounds in small emi nences and gentle slopes, and drains itself so that no water will stand and become stagnant and produce fever and other ailments. It is ■n plain view of the Blue Ridge mountains, ,s ,e dividing ridge between the Apalachee •ind Oconee rivers, and is an elevated plain, unsurpassed for its health giving breezes and 1 uro water. The lands are very productive, making as fine corn and cotton, wheat, oats, &c " as any in the country. When the rail road reaches there it will boa fine trading I it, and is destined, in the near future, to thr^? e ° ne 1C prettiest inland towns in the State. So mote it be. (SrECTATOEj Personal Mention. Mrs. ,S. I*. Carithers is seriously sick. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hancock are both sick. J. R. Crane, of Athens, was in the city Wednesday. Col. Silman made his family a “ pop call” last Sunday. Morgan Nix stocked our town with eider last Monday. We note with pleasure the arrival of W. J. Davenport and family. Zack Niblack has bought land near Thomp son’s mills, upon which he will settle. We learn that Mr. L. Y. Bradbury received a fall last week that has confined him to his bed. Pendergrass Bros. & Cos. have secured the services of Mr. G. W. Stanley for the fall and winter. We are glad to state that Mr. J. D. John son’s injuries arc not as severe as wa3 supposed at first. He is able to lie out on the streets again. Dr. MoElhannon bid his many fronds of this place farewell last Monday morning and departed for Greenesboro*, where lie will re main for some time. Mr. Thai] Oiivc, of Oglethorpe county, visited our county last week in quest of land. \\ e hope that lie will be suited, as we would like to have him live in our county. We note with pride the fact that one of our immediate representatives, the lion. J. B. Silman, made a splendid and telling speech upon the educational hill when it was before the House for action. Col. Silman was pledged to use his utmost endcavous in this direction, and it will he gratifying to his friends to know that lie is using his best efforts in the furtherance of their interests and the whole country's. Harmony Grove. BY OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. —The rain came at last. —lt is not too late to sow turnip patches. —We will soon have two brick buildings in our village. —There was a young man laid out here last Saturday night. —Col. J. B. Silman came in on the down train last Saturday night. —Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hood and Mr. M. Jacobs are in New York citv. —There was no preaching last Sabbath morning at the Baptist church. —Mr. F. Stan la lias bought a business block from our cousin Johnnie C. Yeargin. —Some of our boys bad their part of the camp meeting over about Billie Morgan’s last Sunday. —Misses Ida Newton, ofUnion Point, and \N ortlcy Lester, of Lexington, are visiting in our village. —Mr. I. 11. Ilix will soon go over into Madison county to take charge of Messrs. Bird & llix's gin. —Rev. T. M. Foster will preach at Bold Springs rext Saturday night, and on Sunday following, at 11 A. M. —We need a telegraph line on our railroad, and should have it. Other towns of far less proportions have telegraph communication with the outside world, and why not 11s ? —“Old Foggy” traveled five miles out of his way, and a very rough road, the day lie was married, to keep from passing through our village, for fear the hoys would congrat ulate him. —Dwelling lots arc getting scarce in our village. The land owners are squeezing to them so tightly that it would be almost im possible for a comet to shoot between them and their land. —Wc have discovered another comet away up in the northwest. The tail is just getting long enough to attract attention, and if it keeps growing it will in a few years furnish light almo3t equal to the moon. —Apple Valley, our neighboring city, had several representatives here last Saturday. They say it is the W. C. breed of hogs that is troubling them so much over there. Some body shoots hogs over here; that is the quickest way to get rid of them. —Wc had arranged, and so had many others, to take in the camp meeting over in Banks last Sunday, but on account of the rain we did not go, and missed pulling the chicken that was promised. Wc trust some good clever fellow answered when we were called, and made a good job of it. —Some unknown party has been playing the wild during the past week with some kind of a shooting-iron. Mr. C. W. Hood lost two fine pork hogs on Friday night. Mr. A. C. Appleby also lost one a few days ago. Reuben Jackson’s (col.) horse was shot a few days ago while in the pasture. The hogs were killed and left lying. This is purely malicious, and it should be looked after by a vigilant committee. —Farmers should bear in mind the price that was paid for bay a few months ago, and try to save everything that will do for forage. The prospects arc now, that even thing will be higher and scarcer next year than it has been this year. Flour is now worth $9.00 per barrel and very firm, while corn is worth SI.OO to sl.lO, and bacon 11 to cents. These prices at this season of the year begins to make things look squally. The hotels have raised board from $lO to $12.50. and yet the young men can’t see married life at these figures. A Smooth Complexion can be had by every lady who will use Parker's Ginger Tonic. For promptly regulating the liver and kidneys and purifying the blood there is nothing like it, and this is the reason why it so quickly removes pimples and gives a rosy bloom to the check, fece noth o- Athens Presbytery. This body met in the Presbyterian church Wednesday night, at 7i o'clock, and was opened with a sermon by Rev. C. W. Lane, D. I)., the retiring Moderator. After sermon, proceeded to its organiza tion. After prayer by the presiding officer, the roll was called and the following mem bers were found to be present: Ministers— Revs. G. 11. Cartlcdge, C. W. Lane, D. 1)., J. B. Morton, R. W. Milner, T.

McCurdy, Now Hope church ; S. F. Woods, Betliaven church. Rev. R. W. Milner was chosen Moderator, and Rev. Z. IL Graves temporary Clerk. Letter from Hosch’s Store. This settlement is lively now, for wo have j had rain. Did you ever know fodder-pulling ( time to come but that it would rain about a week ? Wish we had fodder to pull once a mouth, so we could always get plenty of rain ; and then it would pour, too. just in the right time. John sa}*s if we could got rain once a month—that is, a great big un—this country would grow rich after awhile, and every far mer would have to build larger barns to hold their storage; that is, if they would plow deep, like John does, say with a No. 40 Oliver whirl-over plow. John believes in a big thing. Wonder what John P is up to ? He’s got a right nice house started, which will be completed before a great while. John seems to think that Mr. P. is nearly ripe ; says ho could tell better if lie could get to thump him, and knows lie could tell if he was plugged. There’s a boy up here that loves a girl so well he can’t rest day nor night. lie would tell her so, but thinks lie’s too late; thinks maybe she’s done said yes to someone else ; wishes he did know. John says aval's a gal an’ a boy’s a boy ; no use to stand back ; says slic’d like to know it; says they love for a body to talk to ’em that way. John knows. Try it, young man, or go out West one. This thing you call love nearly kills a fellow when it takes rank hold on him. John says he druthcr have a tolerable had case of small pox. Seems like I had too. I tell 3*oll when a boy goes to church an’ another boy goes home with his gal, it makes his face look mighty long. Seems like he can’t stand it, an’ you better not beer joking wither fellow when he’s in that kind of a fix, for he’ll but heads with an engine right then. Seems to me I vc seen in print that love is an agree able passion. Don’t know what they put it up that way for, when boys will fight for a gal like bears. Don’t seem to agree with some folks much, you bet. Met a fellow tother day an’ he said if lie hadn’t er got the one he did he’d er died in less time than a month, and that wouldn’t er been healthy, would it ? Schools are dropping off considerably. The parents are obliged to have everything that can pull a boll of cotton. So that takes very near all the children. Messrs. John and Rus Bosch arc making preparations to gin cotton at their old stand. Going to run by steam this season. IIOOSIEII. Items from Marcus. Mr. Editor : — Crops are very good around Marcus, and we are now having good rains, which arc very much needed to make turnips come up and potatoes grow, both of which will be needed this fall in order to make buckle and tongue meet. Well, camp meeting is over at Wood’s Camp Ground, and many souls have been blessed, we trust, from the preaching of the Word. There were many preachers in at tendance, and we think all who attended the meeting are left without an excuse, and as the good people of this community would not allow whisky sold there, the meeting passed off quietly, without any disturbance, or with out a drunk man being seen on the Ground, as far as I know. Mr. A. T. Yearwood is lining his store with new goods, which he proposes to sell as cheap as the cheapest. Give Mr. Y. atrial, and we think you will get the full value of your money. The farmers around Marcus are now pull ing fodder with a rush, and the little children picking cotton as though they thought their lives depended upon it. Mr. J. G. Justice, proprietor of the Jack son County Nursery, says that his nursery stock is better than usual. The writer has been the happy shearer of some of the fruits obtained from his Nursery, and can say, with out any hesitation, that they are the finest he ever saw. Any one wishing to supply them selves with good fruit trees, will do well to buy from Mr. Justice. Mark Whitehead has bought outS. P. llir -o o gins, near Mr. Wni. Seymour's. We welcome Mr. Whitehead among us. Terrell Wood has bought a tract of land, adjoining the above Higgins tract, from Jas. Matthews, of Dawson county. Mr. J. G. Justice has secured the services of Mr. Pannel, to repair his mills. Yours truly, T. W. E. Marcus, Ga., August 23d, 1881. Lost Cows. Lost, strayed, or stolen, from near Thomp son’s Mills, in this county, one deep red cow, short horns, pointing together, no ear marks, and one yearling, red and white spotted. Any one taking up the above described cows, and notify me at Thompson’s Mills, Ga., wll be paid for their trouble. A Card. I would respectfully call the attention of my friends in Jackson county to the fact that, having severed my connection with Pender grass Bros. & Cos., of Jefferson, I am now located in Athens with the well known firm of OTarrcll Bros. & Cos., where I will take pleasure in serving the wants of ail who desire to purchase or look at our stock. I will be glad to have my friends call upon me, and trust that I can make it to their advantage to do so. Respectfully, Trios. Harrison. An Eloquent Speech. The correspondent of the Augusta Chron icle, writing from Atlanta, says : “ I was led into an error in regard to the lion A. T. Bennett, of Jackson, reported by me as having spoken on the school tax bill. It was Hon. J. B. Siiman, his colleague, from that county, who spoke so eloquently and so forcibly on the subject, surprising even his best friends by bis fine maiden speech.” Representative Silman is one of the quiet members of the House, yet he is always in his seat and never fails to attend faithfully to his duties as a legislator. He is a working and not a talking member, hut when lie does speak it is alway to the point. —Atlanta Post-Appeal. Letter from Logansville. Spring chickens. Crops injured a little, but fine. Cotton opening quite rapidly. These are the palmy days when the “ pack saddle” exulteth and the festive farmer rip peth out the oath. Logansville is bound to have a railroad, possibly two. J. J. Fbyd will make seven bales of cotton on seven and a half acres. Logansville will gin fifteen hundred bales of cotton this fall. Logansville boasts of seven stores, four saloons, the best school, prettiest town and more energy than any other place in Georgia. Judge Dobbins says he’ll raise Cain if the Herald docs not correct the statement about his duster and hoop-skirts. Says he didn’t wear ’em, but bought ’em for a friend. Jug L. City contemplates establishing a number of railroads, with herself as center, viz : to New York, London, Chandler’s Dis trict, Logansville, etc. It is thought here that when the Logansville branch is built there will be a demand for a perpetual mo tion, hand sanding, grip-sack, “git-up-and git” engine, for slants, valleys, hills, &c. But Wiley B. will hump it through, in spite of Bill Arp, hills, moon attraction “or any oth. er man.” We fear by the time one road is completed, the situation and Jug L. City will remind us of the couplet— “ Jack Spratt could eat no fat, llis wife could cat no lean ; And so, between the two, They licked the platter clean.” In the meantime, people here fear that Jug L. City, with her newly added weight, will tip over Jackson and Walton counties. Wonder what John N. R. thinks of that? Fears arc entertained that Stevenson, ac cased of murdering Mrs. Stevenson, his aunt, and who is now jailed at Lawrcnceville, will be lynched by the infuriated citizens. We learn to-day some particulars of a fear ful tragedy which occurred on the 22d, about ten miles east of this place. It was*caused by the explosion of an engine. Mr. J. O. Perry was killed instantly. 11 is son, James Perry, will probably die, as his skull, collar bor.c, and two ribs were broken. The entire head of a negro man was blown off; and Ilamet’s leg was broken. The cause of the explosion is not known positively, but is thought to be due to the carelessness of the negro who was firing. Fag. Logansville, Ga., Aug. 23 d, 1881. The Cotton Crop. New Orleans, August 27.—The Democrat has the following reports : Louisiana—Cotton is fruiting poofly. The crop is generally earlier. Some damage is reported from both worms and drouth. The acreage is unchanged and picking is general. One parish reports the same yield as last year; two only one-third and one-half a crop. Mississippi—Cotton is fruiting poorly. Some damage is reported from rust and worms. One county reports two-thirds and five iffily half a crop. Texas—Cotton is opening fast and fruiting poorly. The condition is not as good as at this time last year. The crop will be about two-thirds of an average one, but the quality is much better. Picking lias begun and some cotton is couvng into town. I> UFAIOKIAiH. Little Lizzie Guffin, daughter of Mr. W. J. and Mrs. A. C. Guilin, departed this life on the 26th of August, ISSI, aged four years, four months and twenty-three days. She was loved by all who knew her. She left a father and mother, two brothers and a sister, and a number of relatives and friends to mourn her absence. Wc know she is numbered with the bright angels in heaven, but it grieves us to give up such a sweet little llower.

To determine this question, without preju dice, it is necessary to understand what the City Court is and what the demands of the county are. One difficulty on the minds of some citizens is that they are opposed to the County pourt, and probably for good reasons, and they draw no distinction between the City Court and the County Court. There being quite a difference between the two Courts, the one ought not to be condemned on account of the defects of the other. Inas much as the County Court has been tried in the county, it is only necessary to present the outlines of the City Court to make appa rent the differences between the two. The City Court has jurisdiction, concurrent with the Superior Court, over the county in all civil cases above the jurisdiction of the Justice’s Court and not exceeding a thousand dollars in amount involved, and except civil cases of which the Superior Court has exelu sivc jurisdiction by the Constitution of the State. The criminal jurisdiction covers all cases below the grade of felon}’. No case can be sent to the Superior Court by certiorari or appeal from the City Court. Juries are drawn for the City Court in the same way they are drawn in the Superior Court. The officers of the Superior Court, to wit: the Clerk and Sheri(T, are ex-officio Clerk and Sheriff of the City Court. The City Court holds four regular quarterly terms, and can have called sessions to dis pose of cases where juries are not demanded. The Judge of the City Court can try all criminal cases in his Court without a jury, unless a jury is demanded by the defendant. Cases go from the City Court direct to the Supreme Court, under the same regulations that they go from the Superior Court. The foregoing is a brief outline of a City Court. The next question to consider is, what are the demands of the county ? Ami would the City Court meet these demands? Does the good of the county demand that business should be dispatched more rapidly ? And would the City Court accomplish that end ? These questions are pertinent and sugges tive of sufficient importance to evoke dispas sionate consideration. It is thought that the Court i.s unpopular, and hence the demagogue and subservient politician, who desire to curry favor with the dear people, are ready to express themselves in terms of strong condemnation. The aver age lawyer of the local bar, desiring to be City Judge or Solicitor, or build up a lucra tive practice in the City Court, is ready to become a champion for a City Court. These fellows are to be watched, just as if they had axes to grind. The writer does not mean to intimate that there are no honest politicians and lawyers ; orr the contrary, the lawyers at least, as a body, are as honest as an}’ other class. As to the politician—well, he loves the people. Mr. Editor, hoping that your corps of cor respondents will discuss the matter, with an Walton News stays: “Hearing last Mon day evening that Mr. John O. Perry had been killed by the explosion of an engine, we 1 hastened to the scene, that we might bo able' to give to our readers a full and accurate ac count of the terrible accident. The first honso at which we stopped was the home of Mr. Perry. The weeping wife and children were enough to touch the sympathies of the hardest heart. The body lay in the front room, closely watched by kind friends. The removal of the sheet showed a form mangled beyond descrip tion. No one could have told that it was the body of Mr. John O. Perry. With face and forehead all crushed, with nearly every inch of his body bruised, one leg broken in two places, one arm cut nearly off, it was a scene too awful to look at. We went on to a cabin near by and saw Frank James, colored, who was wounded in the bead and knee, but not seriously. A few yards farther on wc were pointed to a cabin, where lay the lifeless form of William Cook, colored, whose skull was literally torn to pieces and his body scalded nearly white. But this was but the beginning. Over the river lives Mr. James Hammett, a handsome young man and a brother to Andrew Hammett, who, a few years ago, killed Mr. lloquemore, in this county. Mr. Hammett was lying on his back in the middle of the floor with both legs badly bruised, one knee shattered, swollen and black. He was suffering agonies, and had just been informed by his physician that his leg must be cut off above the knee to save his life. Two or three hundred yards beyond lives Mr. William J. Forrester, whose skull was fractured, collar bone shattered and several ribs broken. The doctors told us lie would die. James Dalton lives near by. whose body was fearfully bruised, and near him lives Mr. L. T. Perry, who was standing in two feet of iiis lather when he was killed. His knees are badly hurt and complains of severe inward pains. The chances arc that Mr. Hammett and Mr. Forrester will die. The engine that exploded was a six-horse power and weighed' 3,800 pounds. It was jerked from where it 1 stood a distance of 150 feet by actual measure ment. It went over the heads of the unfor tunate men and up into the trees, a distance of at least thirty feet from the ground. There was not a sound part of the saw mill to bo seen. Fragments of iron were seen all around sticking in the trees. The wreck was scat tered over an area of at least an acre, and how any one of them escaped alive seems a living mystery. Mr. Thomas, the engineer, was the only man unhurt, and he was stand ing within ten feet of 1 lie engine, but he had just stepped behind a large tree, and thus his life was saved. The explosion filled the air with flying timbers, and it was these that, wounded most of the men. HOW TO TREAT YOUR WATCH. Wind it up at the same time every day. Keep it in as even a temperature as possible. Sudden transition from heat to cold may cause the main spring to break. If you would keep it clean nev er put it in any pocket except one of leather. Those pockets which are lined with cloth, cotton or calico, give by the constant friction a certain Huff, which enters most AVatch Cases and makes its way to the delicate parts of the watch. See that the pocket is turned and cleaned often, and take an old linen handkerchief and wipe carefully all the dust from under the backs, bezel and cap. of the case. Rut above all vou must be sure that the Case fits firmly, and to be sure of this, select one where the parts (center backs, cap, &c.) are each made from one piece of metal. The JAMES BOSS’ Patent Stiffened or filled Gold \\ atch Case is so made, .and not. only docs such a A\ atch Case become stronger and lit more perfectly, but it enables the manu iacturer to turn and form three pieces of metal (the outer ones being gold and the inner one of an. inferior metal) into shape for the round parts, making to all appearaces and practical purposes just as good a Watch Case as the solid gold, at about one-half the cost to the purchaser. There are nearly one hundred thousamlofthe.se AVatch Cases now carried, and theirgood qualities are neknowlc.ig i ’ . the .-aine itumhnr_ul!-kanmc-
