In the afternoon a large number of our citizens assembled at the Baptist church where several sacred songs were sung by Prof. Bighie. lie then invited all present to join him, and we unhesitatingly pronounce the music rindered on this occasion decidedly the best we have heard inDawsouforalong while. The Professor then stated that he would teach an unlimited number eight days for the sum of fifty dollars.— ■Nearly that amount has already been subscribed, and we feel safe in say ing that the school will begin in about ten davs. Painful Accident. Mr. Uriah M. Powell, a carpenter of our town, sustained a singular and very dangerous wound while at work in his shop on last Tuesday af ternoon. lie attempted to sii down on a plank lying across his saw bench' es. The plank, unknown to Mr. Powell, was not sound, and gave way under his weight, causing him to fall backwards. In falling a large one and a half inch chisel with a very keen edge was driven through the posterior right wall of the chest into the cavity. The sharp instrument interea about two inches below the shoulder blade and about the same distance from the back-bon#, and vanging upward and outward, pene trating the cavity of the thorax.— His physician, Dr. W. B. Cheatham, reports the wound as not neccessarily fatal., hut regards the termination as uncertain, but at the present writing is disposed to entertain hopes of his recovery.

A writer in last week’s issue very truthiully said that it is indeed quite a relief to the mental and physical man to turn eside ever and anon from the cates, routine and monotony of every day life to seek recreation in some social, festal occasion. Having been very kindly remornbered with an invitation by our clever Chieka sawha'chee friends, we, in company with Mr. 0. B. Stevens, attended their Union Sabbath School celebra tion on last Thursdey. Chickasawhatchee is a beautiful lit tle villuge, situated in a magnificent natural growth of oaks, about seven miles southeast of Dawson, and being desirous of spending as muen of the day us possible with our friends down there, wo left here at an early hour, and before the heat of the day we were fat enough from the dull, hot town to enjoy the delightful morning air as it came fresh and sweet from the large fields, and hear the merry tinkling of tha cow bells, and the matin-song of trie farmer’s daughters floating across the meadows; and ere long old Sol. rising over the eastern hill’s, spreading into the lovely foibst, tipping the corn fields with a richer yellow, contras’ing beautifully with the deop green of the udjacent cotton, we coaid almost realize that for beau ty of scenery Terrell couuty would compare favorably even with the vice-clad hills of famous Italy, of which we hear so much. We notice very much less land ly ing idle than for many years. Every nook and corner that is under feuoe seems to oe in cultivation. The corn crop is laid by, an and we believe it is made, and the yield will be immense. The cotton is clean ; the plant is large a’ and well fruited, is free from any ap pearance of catterpillar, and oa the whole looks indeed promising. As we approached the village, wo saw a long procession forming in front of the Methodist church, under the direction of Judge L M. Leonard which moved slowly and in orler to the Baptist church, where the exer cises of ths day took place. As many as could possibly seat themselves were in the house, and a large crowd were near enough to hear the sweet music and glad singing of an hundred merry voius swell the morning air.— The two schools were seated near the speaker’s stand, when, after an im pressive prayer by the Rev. H J. Williamson, the children, assisted by teachers and friends of the schools, joined in singing—making some of the best music that it has been our pleasure to hear in a long while, af ter which we had a very fine address by the Rev. J. H. Cciley of this city, and a short, hut very neat and happy effort by Captaiu Scott, of that pl .ee. After another beautiful Sahiath School song, the audience was dis missed, and all scattered through the grove to meet at noon around the ta bles loaded with the substantial and delicacies of the country. The ar rangements were excellent, aud re flect much credit on the manage ment, the tables boing arranged in the form of a equale, with a centre table for the barbecued meats, and af ter the dear little Sabbath School children had been furnished their places at the tables, the guests were invited to “help thyself,” and thfe good people in charge seamed to out do themselves in looking out for the comfort and entertainment of thtir mony friends. A glance around the large table showed us that Dawson was well represented, and that her representatives were well cared for. Dinner over, the crowd reassem bled in the church to listen to ti.oie singing and addresses by the Rev. J. M. Potter and R. A. Wilkinson, Esq. Those who kuow Mr. Potter are will ing tc believe that his address was well suited to the occasion without further comment. Mr. Wilkinson’s speech was short, but contained some •valuable lessons. All prt sent seemed >e enjoy the oc casion to the fullest extant, and we, for one, regretted when the time came for us to leave. To Mr. John H, Col lier and family, and to other friends, we return sincere thanks for the many acts of kindness shown u°, and to those parties who swelled our sub scription list, we are under obligations, | and will try to give them a good pa per. We returned to Dawson in the evening feeling very grateful to those kind friends who had made us spend such a pleasant day, and wish them many leturnsof their annual Union Sunday School Celebration. . ■ Query: —“Why wi 1 men smoke common tobacco, when they can buy Marburg Bros 4 Seal of North Carlina,’ at the samepriee Overtasking the Energies. I is not advisable for any of ua to over task our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge, how many transgress this s lutary rule. It must be a matter of great impor tmee to all who do so to know how they can regain the vigor so recklessly expended. The remeilv is neither costly or difficult to obtain. Hostettei’s Stomach B’tters is pro curable in every city, town and se Lenient in America, and it compensates for a drain of bodily or menial energy more effectually than anv invigorant ever prescribed or ad vertised.
