—A protracted meeting h«s been car
ried on by Rev. A. H. Ba/.emore, the
Methodist pastor nt this place, since
last. .Sunday night.
—There will he a basket picnic given
at Long Pond on Tuesday July 13th ’B6.
Everybody is requested lo bring big
baskets filled with good rations.
—See the new medical card of Dr. W.
D. Ooursey in another column. Dr. 0.
is a young man of Hue attainments, and
tlesetvea the success he is meeting with.
—Rev. A. H. Bazemore commenced
n protracted meeting at this place on
Sunday evening. There was a good at
tendance and a lively interest at that
time. It was rained out Monday night,
lint revived again.
—The Oconee is on a big boom again.
The continued rains up the conutry are
telling heavily and we are having a very
unusual freshet for the time of the year.
In fact there lias been so much rain that
the river has been high nearly all the
spring and summer.
—The mail front Lumber City failed
to resell this place oil Monday. Cause
high water. It is a noticeable fact in
this connection however, that private
oitizeus could, and did, come over from
that place on that day. But. the gov
ernment is a delicate little thing!
To 0 ur Correspondent?.—
There are certain rules proscribed by thenni
tersal custom of newspaperdont and honored by
rheir observance “time wherof tit - memory of
man runneth not to the contrary;” they arc
fouuded upon reason and common sense, ari l
wore established for the convenience of the
printer and editor, as well as for the protection
es society and the correspondents themselves.
If these rules arc not complied with, the pen
alty is that the manuscript is to be consigned
to the waste basket. We have not been as
strict in the enforcement of these rules hereto
fore, as a proper regard for onr own safety or
self-rspect has demanded; but for the future,
let our correspondents see to it that they arc
complied with, or they need not expect to see
their articles in print. These rules are:
1. Every article intended for publication
must lie accompanied by the genuine name of
the writer. We do not want your name to
publish with the article, but we must know
who you are. And this is our secret which we
will not impart to anvbodv, except at the point
of the law. It is not enough that we have had
your name as the writer of another article with
the same fictitious signature. Horne one else
might use that. Send your name every tune.
Write it on a separate piece of paper, ami en
close It in your letter, and rest easy that the
secret will be kept inviolate.
2. Write on only one aide of the paper. If
yon were a printer, you would not need to be
told the reason for this rule; as yon are not, yon
may take it for granted that it is right, and
comply with it.
3. Articles intended as a puff of a private
citizen either in his business, or his political
aspirations are to be paid for as advertise
ments—unless they originate with the editor.
4. Do not air your private piques in your
correspondence; write for the edification of t ,e
public.
Another thing. Do, ior goodness sake, let
ns hare a rest on that venerable pun about
“General Green.” It may have been a good
joke when onr great-grandparents were young;
lint the w. sr and tear of continual service for
Ages ha.- rubbv 1 the point off it.
—Col. O. C. Smith, of McYille, was
iu town on Monday and Tuesday.
—Col.Gus. Smith, of Eastman, was
in our place ou professional business
Tuesday.
—Land sold cheap on Tuesday at
sheriff sale.
—Mr. T. E. Hays, the photographer,
who has been located here for some
mouths, moved his quarters to Long
Pond yesterday. He is tue best pho
tographer we ever saw.
—The celebration last Saturday at this
place by the County Sunday School As
sociation was universally voted a success.
But the co-operation and participation
of the schools and scholars “beyond the
swelling flood” of the Oconee, and who
would have been with us but for the
freshet, were greatly missed.
j —\Ye were awakened from our slum
bers last Saturday night by the sweetest
i strains of music that can be drawn trom
from a violin aud picked from a baujo,
which floated into our loom. We had
not the Vanity to appropriate the com
pliment. of the serenade to ourself, as
there were other occupants of the house
| —young ladies at that—but we were eu
i joying the music all the same, with the
zest of oue who is conscious that he is
getting something that don’t belong to
him, when all at ouco the spell was bro
ken by the sereuaders calling names.
But before wo recovered sufficiently to
determine whether it would be the prop
er thing to treat or make a speech, they
were gone.
Thanks.—
We have again been brought under
many obligations for cabbages and on
ions (thelatter the finest we have seen
this season) from the garden of Mr.
Seaborn Burch; also to Rev. A. ll.Eaze
tnore for a nice mess of roat, ting-ears;
also to Mr. TUos. B. Iv. Adams for corn,
cabbages and other vegetables, includ
ing a fine watermelon; also to Mr. D. Q.
Morrison for some choice beets and ap
ples, and the very finest lot of tomatos
that we have seeu during this summer.
P. S. But last evening Miss Agnes
Adams brought us about half a bushel
| that were finer still, and also some nice
| cabbage heads. Oh, thanks! so many
thanks, to so tuauy good people!
i Killed By Lightning.—
Mr. Norman Davis, who lived in the
upper part of this county, two miles and
a half from Zaidee, was struck by light
ning during a thunder storm on Tuesday
|of last week, and instantly killed. He
i was at home, and iu bed sick at the time
jof the shock. His wife who was Watch
ing by the bed side, was knocked seuse
| less by the same holt, aud the clothing
torn from her arm, but revived, and it is
; hoped that she may recover. She was
! considerably burned bv the lightning.
I Their little child was also badly shocked
i and burned, and the house set on fire,
t The fire was extiugeuishod by the neigh
bors.
—We are informed that the Moni
tor did not reach McArthur or Loug
Pond either, on last Thursday, though
the mail on the new route went through
all right. Well, it ought to. We worked
hard, and paid others to, iu order to get
ready for that mail, and did do it. Every
package along the line of that route was
made up and placed iu the post office
herp, more than au hour before the
mail got here. But what's the use for
I us to work, and worry, and sweat “great
| drops of grief,” iu our efforts for the ac
! cominodatiou of our patrons, when it all
j goes for nothing by reason of the lazi
i ness or carelessness of the government
officials. We do hate to lie more ex
plicit than this, but we shall have to, if
i this thing occurs again. The tatllt lies
i utmu’.irlii're, and it is an easy matter to
find out where.
From Atlanta.
Atlanta Oa. July Ist 188 C.
Whiskey has been dethroned!
The demon of death has danced his
last jig in Atlanta for at least some time
to come. No man who witnessed the
! dying struggles of the dethroned mon
arch. will ever forget the scene. It
j seems to me that, could Atlanta’s drunk
| of last night have occnred just before the
] election, a thousand more votes would
; have been piled up ou the majority side,
j It was one of the most disgusting sights
'imaginable. Wednesday June 30th was
j the last day on which whiskey was to
be sold legally. It would seem that the
people never fully realized the fact until
the day was upon them, aud it was then
that the fun began. The “Little Brown
Jug” came temporarily to the front. The
old man and the young man, the busi
ness wan and the loafer, the lawyer
and the doctor, the saint and the sinner,
the prohibitionist and the anti,swarmed
to the grog-shop to lay in a supply. It
was bought in barrels and kegs. It was
carried away in bottles, in jugs, in pitch
ers, iu oil cans, in anything down which
the infernal grog could he poured. It
was a big day for the saloon keeper.
Wednesday night everybody tnmed
out in the streets. I hazard nothing
in saving that one half of the adults in
Atlanta were on the streets. What this
per oeritnge lacked iu women was made
, ttpiuiacu. Everybody went out. Oue
half of the crowd went to “get on a
bust,” for the last tune; the other half
went to watch them—aud “got on a
bust” too.
Atlanta lias voted for prohibition, but
she certaidy was a unanimously drunk
town last night. Gray heads reeled
home at midnight for the first time in
years. Old topers and common tiplers
swilled and swore. The nir was filled
with the fumes of beer aud the sound
of blasphemy. Bootblacks and news
boys mingled with merchants and bank
ers, over the glass and the bottle. Men
fought and women swore. The scene
was a perfect carnival of hell. I have
seeu many cities famed for intemperance
and ungodliness, but I uever saw last
night’s carousal in Atiauta approached.
All night loug, eveu after the last saloon
was closed, the pandemonium continued.
Drunken mobs reeled up aud down the
streets, even before the door of the po
lice station, singing sougs, shouting,
laughing, cursing and swearing. Such
songs as “Little Brown Jug,” "Pass
Around the Bottle,” “I’ve a Bottle nt
Home that is Filled With Precious
Juice,” “They’ve Quit Selling Liquor
in Town,” &c. could tie heard ou all
hands. Aud the fights! My Henveus!
But I'll desist. It’s over, now. Every
saloon is closed. Two or three whole
sale houses will sell by the quart awhile
longer, but that will soon go. too. And it
will never come back. I’ublio sentiment
is against it. The very men who rev
elled in the filtoy gore of grog last uiglit
voted against it, would again to-day,
will at all times. Alcohol is gone.

—Mr. G. M. T. McLeod placed upon
our table ou Monday, several specimens
of corn with the grains on the tassel,
which lias turned to a cob. They have
the appearance of 20 or more small ears
on a stalk but without the shuck. They
are from the crop of Mr. Jonathan Smith
on Mr. McLeod’s land, and there are a
good many more where they came from.
They seem to be a freak of nature that
are not uncommon with the kind of
corn that Mr. Smith plants, us he says
he never saw a crop of that kind of corn
without some such specimens in it.
