The McDonough base ball nine, be coming euni in batting each other, sent the Olas an invivation to come and get what they had in soak for them. The Olas who are hard hitters, who never go back on first principles, accepted the challenge and appeared promptly on the McDonough’s ground Friday even ing, dressed cap-a-pie in flowing rega lia. This feature seemed to make the McDonoughs doubt their ability “to do" tie Olas, whom they had promised be fore hand to beat. Cooly and imper turbably the Olas promenaded It champ de bulle, waiting for the troub le to begin. Promptly at three o’clock the cloiion voice of umpire North was heard to ring out upon the misty ev ening air, “Play hall !" The Olas won the inning. Ernest Maxwell, the first batter for the Olas, grabbed a bat and sent the first ball, delivered to him by pitcher Neal, into a potato garden some one hundred yards distant. They made two rounds on the first inning. The McDonoughs walked into the box and made some good plays, hut, the Olas succeeding in painting them with wet lime. Going out among the grass, the McDonoughs seemed to do the Olas, and they did. The < lias got it in the neck. There was not a play er who succeeded in making the home base. Somewhat reassured that the Olas did not own all of the motive power in the neighborhood, the McDonoughs proceeded to administer sky-scrapers t weed-mowers and divers other that earned them two runs. Thinking it time to get down to their work,the Olas went to the bat and pro ceeded to knock the cover off the halls as they were hurled at them by the catapulteer Neal. They only made seven rounds on this inning, and took the field joyfully hopii g to throw a red. wet blanket over the McDonoughs, hut the McDonoughs played as only met. who cau whose home grounds are invaded by an over confident advisary. 11l the tumult of this inning they scor ed one round. Ola wishing to appear magnanimous scored a goose egg. Things wero kept up to a white heat to the 9th inning, when it was found the game was a tie—McDonough hav ing six scores, while Ola had six—and eleven more. It was a gloiious game, and Ola in vited the boys to come down aud play mumble peg and go ’possum hunting. We will all go down and partake of the hospitalities of the Olas, not forget tiug to leave our balls anti bats. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury. As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucuous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physi cians, as the damage they w ill do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taaen internally, and acts direct ly upon the blood and mucuous surfa ces of the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen uine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. CySold by all druggists, pi ice 75c. per bottle. Cotton is opening rapidly. Jt would be well for the farmers of the South not to be in too big a hurry to rush it into market. The crop, in all probability, is not so large as last year. j hut by crowdii g the hi trkrt < a*ly will have a tendency to diipiess it» Sell just enough io meet your obligations, and the lemainder is sure to bring bet ter prices. We predict for Cheatham’s Taste iesA-t'hill Tonic an unprecedented suc cess. The well kuown reputation of its in an n‘'net tires is, of itself, an ample guarantee of its superior merits, lm. He’s Matte That Way. The Atlanta Journal remarks that it is pleased to sec that Col. Livings ton is stpiarely on the Democratic plat form, anti that he will abide the recent Democratic caflcus. This seems to j savor a little bit of an intention of charging Col. Livingston, indirectly, of | harboring sentiments antagonistic to| the Democratic party. “Pleased to ! see that he says squarely etc.,” seems to be begotten of a desire to prejudice the minds of the people against the Democratic nominee of the oth. For ; what reason does the Journal make! this insinuation. Certainly Col. Liv ingston is a good Democrat as there isiu the sth district. He is a Georgian to the man- or horn, and he lias always shown a zealous divotion to the Democratic principles promulgated by the found ers of the party. We do not wish to charge it, but it seems that Col. Liv ingston is becoming a dangerous factor | in the Senatorial race, and is likely to make it warm for pa-in law Gordon ; hence it seems that it must be shown that Livingston is not exactly straight in his Democracy. If this is the in tention of our contemporary we would say, by way of advice,“fret not thyself about Farmer Livingston, he is solid with the Democracy of Georgia.” If we have misjudged the Journal’s motive is it because its declarations are not clear to us. Wo give the Journal’s editorial remarks and let the public Interpret what they mean : We are pleased to see that the Hon. L. F. Livingston says squarely that he will abide by the action of the Demo cratic caucus. The success of Democratic princi ples depends upon Donncralic unity ; uoi only unity in the support by vo ters of Democratic nominees, but in the support of Democratic organization by the nominees after their election, and wlieu they are in office. No man can carry the banner of the organized Democracy as a worthy rep resentative, unless lie intends to he as loyal to the organization after his elec tiou as he asks the voters to be during ids election. Georgia Democrats must see to it | that every man that holds a noniina I tiou from their hands pledges himself squarely to the party machine. Let us iu every instance elect our , nomiuees, but let us see that they in tend to represent the Democracy after their election. A few very pointed reasons why Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill Tonic will Ire a great success.. It is absolutely free from all deleterious ingredients; as pleasant to the taste as honey : an absolute and never failing cure for ail malarious complaints. Guuiaiiteed to cure. What more could you ask ? lm. Tlie Annual Binging at Tirzah. Tlie first Sunday in September, lrt -90 dawned upon tlie world with a bright aud lovely morning. At an early hour the pleasant grove around tlie Church was filled with vehicles of all kirtds, and the people were to he mi in bo ted by scores and multitudes, it would lie useless to say a vast con course of people composed our happy throng. As usual the opening exer cises were conducted by llro Ogletree. After singing that fuvorite old song, “Coronation,” “All hail etc,” Prayer was led by Rro. W. T. Griffin. On motion of Bro. Freeman Bro. Ogletree was chosen chairman of the meeting. A committee consisting of Bro. Freeman and others were appoin ted to arrange a piogramme for the order of the day. Rro. Ogletree, that old prince of vocal music, was elected to lead tye 2nd lessou of of 30 min utes, Bro. led tlie 2nd lessou. A recess of ten minutes were then giv en. The house being called to order, Bro. Davis was next to lead the mu sic for 30 minutes. By the way, Bro. Davis is no gourd sawing singer. Not having any paper upon which 1 could enter head notes, I am left to re ly on my imperfect memory, in com plying the leading events of the day. Bro. E. T Pounds was on hand, and wheu it comes to estimating vocal mu sic by weight, Bro. Pounds is a whole ton. To make mention of all the leaders who were present, would extend our writing beyond a proper boundary, it is our privilege however to claim space sufficient to make mention of those la dies who presided at the organ. Their names I need not tell. There weie too many young meu their interested in the lovelinest and beauty of those youthful ladies, whose magic touch of a stringed instrument would awake the cords of a frozen heart. It is only neeessary to sr.y. look out young men, beware how you let their bewitching or facinating smile fall upon your trembling hearts, your fate is precari ous if your capture not sure. Ifut those organist were not all the lovely women that were honoring that occa sion with their presence. When the hour arrived for recieation and spread ing out the sumptuous repast that they had so richly provided. Men were again reminded that without the pres ence and touch of Woman’s hand, Eden would have been a lovely home. A woman whose heart is devoted to the tesponsive cords of love made to her, is the highest type of human per fection. Though her unquale.l touch, set in motion, a deeti uctive tide, and that flowing tide brought sin into tlie world, yets* e was chosen to he the! mother of hi,in who »a- horn of a wo man. made under the law, yet sin. Carry this towering thought t> J its widest extern ion, and note the tin measured wisdom of God. II d man alone bei u involved in the trail-grot sion. froili whence would have come a glorious plan of ledeiiiption. But we have wandered from our line. 1 We hasten to turn Imek to say, Until among the many who were on hand at ! the singing, our old friend, unole Dick ! Man, was present wiih his genial smil-1 ing. pleasant countenance. '1 here were comparatively hut few vorv old men or «oifAn in our number. Manv 1 who used to meet and mingle with us I I a-e gone over the return no j more. Aftei spending the day in pleasant social engagement, having been liappi j ly entertained witli splendid music vo cal and instrumental, we sung our clo sing song and dismissed with the bene diction. I’. !S. If the Griffin News and Sun aro not furnished with a better account of the Tirzah singing, oblige many friends by copying this from the Wkkki.y. Summer cometh on apace, and soon . will tiie granger he engaged in his an j nual struggle with chills and fever. Take time by the forelock and lav in a supply of C deaf ham’s Tasteless Chill Tonic that your days in the land may he many. 1 m. The passage of the anti compound lard bill has had a most damaging ef fect on the price of cotton seed. Last year the price averaged something like eighteen cents, but this year seed will not bring more than twelve and a half cents. At these figures it w ill be bet tei for the farmers to keep them for fertilizers. It is too much to have to scratch for a living and for relief also. Hunt’s Cure will not help you in the former case, hut will sure cure the Itch or it costs you nothing. lm. ItK’NAKD A.NI) Ills LNt'LK YBKN < IKIN'. Fioui tlie French of L, Souvier. 11V nils. M M'EtK. The adver lures of master Renat d and Ysengrip, his pard, have made him immortal. 1 will tell you his first racket, while ] he was yet a lad—lie was not married; I neither hi d lie paid pule tax, hut be was a socialist. j One morning, about day break, lie entered the house of ids Uncle Ysen grin. He had a film over liis eye balls and bis hair was standing on end. Ysengrin said to him, “What is the matter beautiful nephew ? you appear to be sick at the stomach. Are you sick ?" “Yes,” replied Rcnaid, “1 do not feel very well.” But Ilenard was a great liar. j “Have you been to breakfast ?” “No, and 1 don’t want any.” Yseugiin called his wife, and said j to her, “my uephew is a little off his j feed ; you put tlie big marnite in the t little one-—give him a rat and two ribs of a rabbit.” I “Ilenard sat down to his meal, and ate the meat without salt. And while tie sat there, looking over the morning paper, his eyes brightened as he raised them to the roof M Ysengiins house, whore he saw suspended three beau tiful hams. He said to himself, “It will bo a hard job to burglarize this place, but if he had them in his barn J Could get there. If 1 had those hams 1 would live like a lord, yes, like a king f>r a month, without trouble and without work. How am lto get them? I'll give the beasts some good advice. “Good relatives, your hams are iu danger. All of your neighbors are hungry, and tlie last huff of them love ham ; they are all going to come here together and help you eat them.” “Is that your opinion, Nephew?” said Ysengrin. “Yes, sir. My advice to you, is to take them down from there ; and hide them in your den, and tell your neigh bors that they have been stolen.” Hah 1 ball !’’said Ysengtin, “1 am not afraid of my neighbors. Look at my teeth, timid nephew ; 1 am loaded for them. You can tell the hungry rascals that these three hams are for my wife and myself. No nephew, my brother himself will never smack his, lips over my hams,” After breakfast Ivenard took his conge oE his ham-hungry uncle, and went otf to lix a plan to steal the hams. He staid away without showing him self at Yseugrin’s for two du*s. Hut when the evening of the second day had come, when it was as dark as a stack of black cats in a cellar, our he? ro returned to the house of his kinfolks. The door was shut. Everybody was asleep. Henard dim bed softly upon the roof, and tore off some boards and made a hole right over the hams. He run his hand in and took out the hams and dropped them in his war-bag, (hav ersack) and went on a dead run for his den. There lie took a breathing spell, and laughed in his moustache, as he thought what a howl his uncle would lise in the moruiutf, when he awoke and found the new, beautiful suustliue coming through the hole in his roof, j and his hams gone. Knowing that his uncle had some dog in him, and fearing he would track him to his nest, he pru dently cut tl e three hams into small pieces and hid them in the straw of his bed tick. Wheu Ysetigrin awoke he was very much astonished, and began to make; things hum with his howls. "Who 1 tore a hole in the roof? Who stole my hams. Help! help! Stop the I thief! Wife ! wife ! we are ruined.”! His wife raised even more cain than the old man. They kept up their howling until liensrd came. “Well, beautiful uncle, 1 salute you. What is the matter with you, old man? You look bad : are you sick ?” “I’m mighty had off,” said Ysen grin. "You have seen tny good, dried j meat Yob saw It iiay before yester day. It gone Tlija have stolen it from me.” Ueiiaid imrst out into a big laugh, and said, “That is a tine yclieme, d<a dy. You are no U>o’ ; you have taken my advice. You have hidden *he three beautiful hams in liu. den. hav en't you ? Rullv for my aunt and my uncle. Hun into the street, 'itiio tin woods and yell eveiy where: ’Our hams a'e s olein,' Your neighbors will believe it, and your nephew will not give your snap aw ay.” Thing* got too hot for ilenard. lie lit out down the toad, and threw his head over his left as lie look ed back and said. ‘•Good hye dear un cle ! k ind aunt, remember me when yon stew the hams !"

According to the best authenticated records there were no coons iu Nimrod’s hunting grounds, if there had been, perhaps the phraseolo gy in the text might have been differ ent, for it does not take a mighty hun ter, but a mighty good one to catch a coon. Billie Littlejohn, accompanied by two amateurs, took the woods, ahorse hack. The dogs were able to tell a coon from a sheep, hut it whs a matters of indifference to diem which one they chased if they were not hun gry; They iiad been in tlie woods hut a little while when the pack “opened” on hot track. AJI at once they began “to bay deep mouthed” and furiously. The hunters came to a halt, aud sat, leaning forward, to ascertain, for cer tain, fiom what direct ion came,the hav ing. In most part it was loud and dis tinct, hut occasionally a faint sinothei ed howl, as if coining from a hollow log. greeted their curs. “There, now,” said Littlejohn, “they've put him tip in a log, and old Troun has gone in to interview him. They were not long in going to the [dace, aud found the dogs setting around in a fifteen-foot circle and howling for dear life. There was neither tree nor log' in sight. The hunters thought tiiey had treed a “hunt,” and their hair began to rise and push their hats upward. One of the amateurs n mar ked, “may lie they’ve treed in tlie ground.” “Who ever heard, of treeing wi bout a tree,” said the other amateur, “why don’t you say they have “grounded” iu tlie ground ?” “Hoys, it ain't no titti; for foolish ness,” said Littlejohn, “there is something mighty had he;e. I) < yyna hear that, tiling, way down iu the ground, cavorting aroun I just like he wanted a bate of man meat. Let's go, for it may l»e a ‘panter’ in his den and I want it understood that I've lost no ‘panter,' and if anybody else lias, I’m not limiting him.” The noise in the eartii grew louder and more ominous, while the plaintive wluneing of ihe dogs, with their tails tucked between their hums, did hut lit tle to inspire the hunters with courage. “My God! boys, we are worse off than Dan’l in the lion’s den,” said one of the amatures. “Strike a match, and let us see what kind of varmints are going to devour ns,” he continued. The match was lighted, and they found an old well. The bravest ot the brave hunters crawled tip to it cautious ly and peeped in ; striking a match, on thr seat of his pants, and holding it, at arms length, down into the well. “What do you see down there?” timorously asked one of tlie amateurs. “I see nothing hut old Troup, a son - of-a-gttn. Take that steelyard hook off that holds your stirrup leather, and tie all of your bridle reins together, then fasten the hook to tlie end of the rein, bate it wiih that rabbits leg at.d j hand it here.” “Going to fi»h for him ?” “Yes. A dog that ain’t got no more sense than to jump into a well is a sucker, and you can catch him with a steelyard hook.” He threw the bate into the well, and old Troup bolted it at a gulp. “Now, boys, I’ve caught the old ter rapin. come and help ine bring him to taw.” As they tightened the line old Troup gave a yelp, but before he could lioewl again be was standing on the brink of the well with his halter fastened on the inside. "VY hat are you going to do about getting that hook out ?” said Little john. “Oh, that jobs as soft as putty. Cut the lino off smooth with his mouth, and I’ll give him a dose of liile Beans, aup in a couple oi days you’ll never know he has dined on steelyaid hooks. ' Troup is living and doing well.
