Apply to Jno. L. Grif- fin. Rev. It. W. Dixon, pastor of the M. K Church here, is conducting a religious meeting at Smithville this Week. V> here is the man who predicted a fool August. Why, the weather is almost hot enough to bake a wild lizard. We saw one fellow devour a quar ter id burbecued shoat, last Tuesday, and then said lie “could’nt get any thing to eat.” Owing to the scarcely of ice, the ladies of the Mite Society were una- I ’e to furnish refreshments on the day of the barbecue. We learn that the Revs. J. M. Potter and W. 1). Stewart, are pro trading a meeting at the M E. church iii Ohickasawhatchie. Lhe singing school closed last Saturday. On Sunday the class ren dered some first rate music at the -Methodist church. The house was tided with attentive listeners.

Miss Eliza Janes,and her assistant Miss Kittie Orr, will do all in their power to give perfect sat isfaction to their patrons. Reasona ble charges for tuition. As the Fall term is short, it is earnestly hoped that patrons will send in promptly on the first day. It’s a Boy. Our excellent and talented young townsman, .Tames G. Parks, Esq., came up town last Tuesday morning with an unusually bright smile upon his handsome face. He had a kind word for every one, and when we approached he gave our little hand a tight squeeze and whispered, “old fellow, its a line boy and weighs nine and a half pounds.” Jim now spends the larger portion of his time at home. Cotton Gin and Mill. Mr. W. M. Peeples notifies the public in this paper that he is now prepared to gin cotton and grind corn on short notice. His gin and mill is in excellent condition. lie employs none but first class labor: and is personally responsible for ail work intrusted to him. Read his card and patronize him. Temperance. —At the meeting of the Ga. Christian Temperance Union, held at the Masonic- Hall last Tues day afternoon, twenty-one names were added to the list of membership. This Society is rapidly growing in favor, over ninety of our citizens having already signed the pledge.— Everybody is invited to attend the next meeting, which will be held at the Masonic Hall next Monday night. The Entertainment.’ Extensive preparations are being made by the Dramatic corps for their entertainment which comes off on the 3rd of September. The young ladies and gentlemen are now rehearsing, and we learn that the entertainment will be decidedly the best our citizens have witnessed in a long while.

Mr. Cheatham is well known here as a prompt, reliable and accurate busi ness man. Our business men all know him, and know that he is a young; man that deserves .encouragement, and we hope they will make it a point to throw all the business in his hands that they can. The Barbecue. The attendance at the barbecue at the Court-house on last Tuesday, though large, was not quite so large as we expected to see. The citizens of the town turned out generally, and there was a large delegation from the country, though the urgency of cotton gathering, doubtless, kept many at home. The supply of pro visions was ample for the crowd in attendance, and was well prepared. Those in charge of the affair deserve credit for the way m which it was managed. * The crowd spent the day in a very pleasant manner on the grounds ami all seemed to enjoy themselves and the occasion. Fine Corn. Uncle Billy Sessions, a worthy old colored man of this county,—one who lives at home and boards at the same place,—came into town early Tuesday morning with a couple of ears of corn which be took from his 12 acre patch. Says lie, “Boss, I want you to put it on the Dawson Jemal.” Here goes; it was decided ly the best specimen of corn we have yet seen. The ears measured 12| inches and were full of very large whiic grains. Uncle Billy used no guano, but Worked his land t horough ly. Such colored peop’e ought to tfe encouraged by their white friends. Personal.— We had a call, on Monday las* from our former towns man, Col. Jas. T. Goode, who Is now editor and business manager of the Eufaula Aries and Times. Col. Goode is a man of fine education and a good writer. We welcome him to the fraternity and congratulate tbe proprietors of that paper on securing his services. Mr. W. F.

Cheatham, in the drug business and practice of medi cine. I can be found at the drug store during the day—at the resi dence of father, at night. Soliciting a share of patronage. T am, \ ery Respectfully, . I>. Cheatham, M. D. Dawson, Ga., July 31, 1878. Overtasking the Energies. I is not advisable for any of us to over task our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the eager piiisuit of wealth or fame o knowledge, how many transgress this a lutary rule. It must be a matter of great impor tance to all who do so to know how thov can regain the vigor so recklessly expended. The rented v is neither costly or difficult to obtain. Ilostettei’s Stomach Bitters is pro curable in every city, town and settlement in America, and it compensates for a drain of bodily or mental energy more effectually than anv invigorant ever prescribed or ad vertised. Laboring men, athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all bear testimony to it wondrouslv renovat ing powers. It increases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the in jurious effects upon the system of exposure, Sedentary habits, unhealthy or wearying avo cations, or an insalubrious climate , and is a prime alterative, diuretic and blood depur ent. al,4t All Undeniable Truth. You deserve to suffer, and if v u lead a miserable, unsatisfactory life in this beaut fu! world, it is entirely your own fault and there is only one excuse tor you,—youi unr teas onahle predjuuice and skepticism, which has killed thousands. Personal knowledge and common sense reasoning will soon show you that (ireen’s August Flower will cure you of Liver Camplaint, or Dyspepsia, with ail its miserable effects, such a3 sick head ache, palpitation ol the heart, sour stomach, habitual costiveness, dizziness ct the head, nervous prostration, low spirits, &e. Its sties now r ach every town on the Western Continent, and not a Druggist but will tell vou of its wonderful cures. You can buy a Sample Bottle for 10 cents. Three doses will relieve you.

Query:— ‘Why wifi men smoko common tobacco, when they can buy Marburg Bros ‘Seal of North Carolina,' at the same price ?” . Good Digestion. “Give us this day our daily bread” and good medicine to digest it, is both reverent aurt human. Tho human stomach and liver are fruitful sources of life’s comforts; or, disordered usd diseased, they tingle misery along every uerve and through evety artery. The man or woman with good digestion seec beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the rotate of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at every imaginary object. The world still needs two or three new kinds ol medicine before death can be perfect ly abolished ; but that many lives have been prolonged, "lid many sufferers from Liver disease, Dispepsia and Headazhe, have been curod Mkkhf.lls Hepatink, is no longer a doubt. It cures Headache in twenty minutes, and there is no question but what it is the most wonderful discovery yet made in medical science.
