At the Camp Ground, Doziers mill and at Andrew Chapel, large crowds gathered and spent the day most delightfully. The Ellavillians who went out to the camp ground, came hack delighted with the treatment they received by the hospitable people of that neighborhood. The Schley County News is on our ex change list. The News is edited by Mr. R. Don McLeod, recently of scan, of Tallahassee, Fla. We knew Mr McLeod and his paper in Florida and both stood up at the head. The News bids fair to take the front rank among Georgia’s weeklies. Welcome to the news audits able editor.—Cuthdert Lib eral. We understand Mr. W. D. Murray, owing to other business engagement, in tends to rent out his cotton warehouse, in F.llaville, the coming season. This is a splendid opportunity for some one with a little capital and experience. Not withstanding our close proximity to to Americus, this ware house we learn has been handling two thou-and bales of cotton a season. The protracted meeting closed Mon day. Considerable religious feeling was manifested and fourteen accessions to the Methodist church were made. Eight by profession of faith, four by letter, and two by restoration. Considering the few who were not already members of some church, the showing is not a small one, by any means. Rev. Mr. Flanders, we think, can afford to rest easy on his oars, for awhile at least. “I have been selling goods to the farm ers of Schley county for fourteen years.” said one of the proprietors of the largest mercantile house in Americus totheed itor of the News a few Jays since, “and I conscientiously believe there is not a more prompt and reliable set of farmers on the globe. In ail of our accounts with the people oi Schley we have col lected almost every dollar, you will find them an excellent class of people, a steady reliable people.” Said be. Aside from its fertile soil and health ful climate Schley has another most de sirable and attractive feature-the church es and schools throughout, the country, the moral character of the people. Drink ing and swearing is comparatively little indulged in, especially among young men. The few drinking characters we have are those who contracted the habit cd the county. I Eto . * n <?iU ua > s s are seldom if ever se< n or heard of, gambling is unknown and a domineer ing, figtiting bully' does not exist in the county. 0x carts seeal to be sc -' aroe m tlm sec - the appearance of one on our streets Tuesday morning so frightened a mule belonging to John Blount, colored, that he broke loose from the lutcliing post and and struck out down Oglethorpe street like a lighting express train, carrying tlie jersey wagon with him. For a while it looke>t a. though th«e K „in K to I* ^ , j, u bllt the attractive store ami winning ways of Mr, Goodwin Greene so captivated the mule that he stopped there and cooled off. One of Ellaville’s gallant young disci pies of Blackstone. finding business in the legal profession rather dull at this season, and having a wife and baby to provide for, laid away his law books, closed his office, doffed.his standing col lar. congress gaiters and court house clothes, hauled on his seediest garments ’ seized a trowel and sallied forth to earn bread by the sweat of his brow- ii n - til the law bestness picked up. He had gotten a job of brick laying and earned over a hundred dollars before his friends missed him out of town. This is the uimi ( ,f pluck and push that wins; a man wit .h that kind of grit in his craw, wiU make ] us ma rk some day. ______________________ Stock-holders Excursion. - The old stock-holders, and their wives, £ y B v> – E .

July 24th, The Man From Terrell Determined not to run over a railroad train, a man with a clay-bank mule and two little boys stopped Saturday after noon in front of Peacock – Arrington store to wait for the BuenaVista train to leave town. The mule ddzed off into dream-land and the little boys played i hide-and-seek under the buggy seat while the man blinked one eye and 8quirted tobacco juice and looked anx- 10Urtly tovvar<1 tlie de i X)t > several blocks I away - ! ^that train would go on’ said ( i the and man “ rve ««t a long way to go j tludl am in c be dl mighty hurry.” it will “That be won J r ° ur way half wav to Putnam oefore you reach the crossing.” said a bystander. “May be it will, but I aint carin to take any chances with a blasted railroad train” said the man with the clay-bank mule and turning to the men standing around in front of the store he added; ‘Won all aint got no crops at all in this county. I ve traveled all day and aint seen a crop worth having.” “Why we were priding our selves on having the best crops we have bad for many years, and we always make enough to do us here,” said a farmer. “Maybe so,” responded the traveler, but if we had such as I have seen along the road to-day we’d feel like plowing up and planting over again,” “What road did you come?,”ask ed a farmer. “This one, right here!'’ said the fellow, pointing to the road leading out by Murray’s mill, “Why I m sure there are good crops along that road,” put in another farmer; Tip Barnes back here two miles has got some as tine corn on the left of the road as a man would wish to see and Mr. William's cotton right back there about a mile wiligtnakeover a bale to the acre, if noth ing happens to it. “May be goodjfor up here, but twouldn’t be any crop at all in our county,” persisted the fellow, let ting fly a gill of tobacco juice. About this time the train blew at the water tank four miles from town and the hero | | of out big of crops his decided drive it was What far enough way to on coun j ty are you from, with such crops, we cautiously enquired as he was slapping the clay-bank mule with the lines to wake him up, “Terrell county,” answer ed lie, glang mike!” and the fellow was off, leaving our citizens wondering if Annanias. Guliver or Eli Perkins ever stopped in Terrell county. Rcuolutions. The following resolutions were unan imously adopted at the close of our pro tracted meeting Monday. Whereas, tills community lias had the pleasure, and benefit of tlie ministrations of Rev. J, B, K. Smith in our pulpit for a number of days and have watched his life and observing his deportment among us, so that our confidence in him as a man, a Christian and miuistet of the gospel, is fixed, and our love for him deep and lasting; and whereas, we pro foundly regret that circumstances, be yond his control have conspired to force him from the itenerancy of the Method ist Episcopal church, the sphere in which we believe God interned him to labor, and for which, we believe him eminently fitted; Therefore be it Resolved 1st:—That we take this occa sion arid method of expressing our deep love and our abiding confidence for and in him as a man and as a fonuister, and to say that lie has endeared himself to us, both, by the benefits of his efforts in the pulpit and the pleasure of his ciim panioriship in our social circles, and we will fervently' pray the choicest blessings of God upon him and his in all the rela tious of life, and in all places where his lot may be cast. Resolved 2nd:—That recognizing as we do his eminent arid peculiar fitness for Li ie work of an itenerant Methodist preacher, we would gladly see him re turn to tlie place and work, to which God has evidently callen him; therefore without presuming to dictate to those in authority concerning the matters com mitted to their charge, modestly and most respectfully'request the members of the South Georgia conference, eapeo* ially the presiding elders, to use every means that may be legitimate and con sistant, to induce him to return to the r z zx p*, blessed by lus labors as our pastor. Resoived 3rd;-That we request the publication of these resolutions in the Schley County News and Wesleyan Chnstuin Ad\ocate am t iat a copy »« bus G \° eorgG. ,l ° “' l ’ 1,11 II h, a Chau man.

Burdett has some rein irks in the Brooklyn Eagle • 1 this cry of tlie whiskey men. He says: J ust now a! i the enemies of prohibition are crying out that ‘Prohibition is a fail ure. But vou never hear a prohibitionist say that. It’s the fellows who want it to fail who raise that cry. Go slow about joining that cry, my boy. Not one of the States that adopted prohibition has repealed tlie Prohibition Amendment; not one.—Don't be in a hurry' to declare any cause, any movement that aims to make bad times good and good times bet ter. that aims to help men, a failure, even though , you see the ,, cause fiat ,, on its ... back, both legs broken-, and its sword arm twist ed. It isn't dead yet. Don’t believe too much in failures, my boy, lest you grow to be one yourself. Believe in success; it is a better watchword, lias a clearer ring to it, and a man looks and feels and is prouder and nobler lighting for success, than when he is struggling in the name of failure. Don't defend; attack. Don’t top to explain and apologize for the faults of your cause; maintain and en force its virtue. < B< 1CKEUYI <'R<iCKKRYl!
