Interesting Meeting.
An interesting meeting began
Saturday ut Bethany Methodist
church, in the 08th district, and has
been in progress to this date with
no signs of breaking. Up to Wed
nesday night 21 members had been
added to the church. Much feeling
has been awakened in the whole
community, and much good is re
sulting.
It will be a source of pleasure to
learn that Henry Warren, a noto
rious negro politician of this county,
who has been for a long time under
the protecting wing of the even
more notorious Tom Johnson (white
outside and black inside) Radical
custodian of the custom house at
Savannah, has been dismissed from
his office, and will now have to seek
for some other easy way to pur
chase his grub and whisky, go to
work, or starve.
A Remarkable Karaite.
Mrs. Mary A. Dailey, of Tunk-
hannock, Pa., was afflicted for six
years with asthma and bronchitis,
during which time the best physi
cians could give no relief. Her
life was despaired of, until in last
October she procured a bottle of
Dr. King’s New Discovery, when
immediate relief was felt, and by
continuing its use for a short time
she was completely cured, gaining
in flesh 50 lbs. in a few months.—

Formally Transferred.
Mrs. Beaman received her com
mission as post mistress last Sun
day, and the office was formally
transferred to her by Mr. T. S.
Blanchard resigned, on Wednesday.
There probably never was a more
popular appointment made than the
appointment of Mrs. Beaman as post
mistress. She has done the real
work of the office for some five
years, and has received only a
inoity of the pay. She is acquaint
ed with the business of the oflice in
its smallest minutia, is very careful,
and will give full satisfaction to the
public. She is now keeping house
at the old parsonage. The Citizen
tenders her its congratulations.
We notice in passing that the
building lately occupied as a post
office is being completely changed
by removing the partition, throw
ing the house into one nico large
store room, which will shortly be
occupied by Dr. Polhill as a drug
store. vVe understand that the
doctor will move his stock the last
of next week to his new quarters,
and judging from tho changes be
ing made, he will have by far the
prettiest drug store in the city. Ho
is a thorough druggist, having had
19 years practical experience in his
business, and can truly be culled
master of his profession. He will
give due notice to his patrons and
the public generally when he gets
fixed in his new quarters.

Cotton Seed Oil Mill mid Fertilizer Manufactory.
The cotton seed oil mill, of which
we have already spoken so often,
seems about to become a reality,
with the addition of a fertilizer
manufactory. The stock has been
taken, and a cash capital of $20,000
subscribed, at $1,000 per share. The
mill will be of 30 tons capacity, and
will be in operation by the 25th of
October. The company will manu
facture fertilizers in connection
with the oil mill. The company
propose also to erect a large gin
nery with the capacity of 20 or 25
bales per day.
There will be a two story brick
building 60 by 40 feet for the use of
the mill, a press room 80 by 40
feet, a cotton seed warehouse 125 by
40 feet, a gin house 40 by 30 feet,
three stories high, and a cotton
warehouse 40 by 30 feet. All the
buildings will be of wood except
the mill. The machinery will be
moved by a 50-horse power engine
with a 60-horse power boiler. All
the machinery will be manufactured-
by E. Van Winkle A Co., of Atlanta.
All the material for erecting the
buildings has been purchased, and
will be put up as fast as it is re
ceived. Work will begin on Mon
day morning.
We have heretofore done the best
we could to encourage this impor
tant enterprise, believing as we do
that it will prove a profitable in
vestment to the stockholders, an
advantage to the individual inter
ests of every citizen of the city and
county, and give a new impetus to
the advancement of our beautiful
little city. We have for a long time
seen that Waynesboro must search
out new sources of revenue, and
hew out new channels of business,
or pause in her progress. We have
heretofore had no resource except
our mercantile interests, supported
alone by the products of the farm,
and this interest had become so sub
divided that the falling oft' of re
ceipts in each individual house was
being seriously felt. We confident
ly believe that this is an initial step
to an era of prosperity never en
joyed by our city or county before,
and hope that only a year or two
will elapse before our capitalists
will erect cotton mills and other
manufactories. Then may Waynes
boro hope to assume the dignity
and advantages of the city which
she ought to be, and which it is
within her grasp to be.
Up to this date the prospect for a
largo cotton crop never was more
promising. But now comes the cry
of “cnterpillar” from many farms in
the county, and the tine prospect
fades before the devouring host of
worms like tho frost work before
the sun. The cotton this year is at
least three weeks behind usual sea
sons, and it is impossible to esti
mate the loss which will be caused
by the worms. We can only hope
that something may stop their de
structive course. Below we give a
recipe for destroying of the worms,
handed us by one of tho best farm
ers in the county; but we have lit
tle faith In the remedy, as nothing
has yet been discovered that has
had the desired effect. It is, how
ever, worth trying:
Four |>ounds l’aris green; seven
pounds of rosin; fifty pounds of rice
flour, or any other cheap and con
venient basis. Apply with a sifter

On Tuesday morning, of hemor
rhagic fever, at the residence of
Judge Jethro Thomas, his father-
in-law, in this city, Mr. Geo. A.
Green, in the 36th year of his age.
Mr. Green was an affectionate hus
band and father, a true friend, a
kind neighbor and a good citizen.
He leavos a wife and one child,
and many relatives ami friends to
mourn his early doom. He was
buried at the family burying
ground near Green’s Cut. The be
reaved ones have our sincere sym

At Mt. Airy, Ga., on the 1st lust.,
Mr. L. II. lloutzahn, a prominent
citizen of this city, quietly breathed
his last of consumption, in the 47th
year of his age.
On the 4th day of July, 1867, Mr.
lloutzahn, then a citizen ofGreenes-
boro, N. C., was united in marriage
with Miss Florence B. Byne, only
daughter of Mr. Edmund Byne, a
citizen of this city. After a three
years residence at their North Caro
lina home, Mr. and Mrs. Routzahn
removed to this city, and have been
citizens of Waynesboro foi the
past 15 years. Here Mr. Routzahn
went into the mercantile business,
and rapidly accumulated a compe
tency, and soon erected and fur
nished a beautiful und pleasant
home, and tor many years enjoyed
a fruition of domestic happiness
which falls to the lot of few. But
while yet in the zenith of manhood
the destroyer came and he “crossed
the dark valley.” Mr. Routzahn
was a great sufferer for tho past
two or three years, being attacked
by bronchitis, which went into con
sumption, of which he died. But
when the messenger came it found
him ready, and with a smile on his
face, and with the declaration on
his lips that ho was ready to go, he
passed away as if sinking into a
peaceful slumber. He had united
with the Presbyterian church just
one month before his death, though
ho had professed conversion many
months previous. His remains
were intered in the cemetery of
this city on Tuesday morning. He
leaves a wife and threo children
to mourn his death. Our sympa
thies are tmiderod tho bereaved
ones.

Th* Dill to Tax Ilichclor*.
The bill to tax bachelors over 30
years of age now pending before
the legislature has been the all ab
sorbing topic of conversation with
that class of our citizens who fall
under its provisions. With one ac
cord they object to its passage,
while the married men are as unan
imously in favor of its becoming a
law. Louis A. says it is a shame,
and that the whole legislature is a
set of cranks. Hewlit only sighs
for the hardship that is about to
overtake him. A young lady
friend comes to Hewlit’s rescue,
and declares that he ought to be
excused from taxation on the
ground thatheist oo small tomarry.
John S. hopes that it will be killed
in the house by amendments, as
was the local option bill. We are
really sorry for these fellows, they
look so blue, but we hope the bill
will pass all the same.

Letter From Commodore Dexter.
Madison, Ga., Aug. 4th, 1885.
To l'of. S. J. /Irll, Member Company
A,.Id Georgia Jtegiinent, Mayor
and Council of Waynesboro, Citi
zens of Waynesboro and llurke
County—Gentlemen and Ladies,
one and all:
Many thanks to all of you for the
happy, pleasant time spent in your
growing, beautif .il city on the 29th
and 30th ult., on the occasion of the
4th reunion of the survivors of the
3d Georgia regiment. A time so
pleasantly spent, and so much en
joyed that it will never be forgot
ten and happy should you be
when you reflect that you were the
instruments in carrying forward to
a full success so great an under
taking. Permit me to say it was
largely beyond my highest expec
tations, and none of us “old rebs”
ever expected we would see the
day when we would be so royally
entertained. Had we possessed
royal titles, or descended from the
great men of the world, no greater
honors could have been conferred
upon us than those received at your
hands. To think of it makes the
heart swell with thanks to God,
“tho giver of all good,” for so order
ing our stuns in life as that we were
privileged to partake and enjoy so
grand an occasion. To describe
my feelings is more than I can And
words to do. Landing at your de
pot, and catching sight of those old
familiar faces that I had not seen
since the days when we were in
camp, on the march, or engaged in
the deadly conflict with the foe,
gave rise to feelings which surpas
ses words to describe. With what
delight did we clasp hands with
old comrades, calling up scenes to
our minds of the past sufferings,
griefs, hardships and deaths; for
some have passed away and are at
rest. May we not cherish the hope
that they enjoy sweet rest in
Heaven ?
Since our return home, nothing
but the pleasant, happy time we
had has occupied our minds, and
many have been the regrets of
others, after learning of the splen
did entertainment we enjoyed, that
they did not go. I met a member
of company B, to whom I gave an*
account of our trip, and at the same
time scored company B for not
being represented, and he renlied,
“hold, Commodore, for we are al
ready ashamed of the fact that
none of our company were present,
but we will try to atone for it when
It comes to our turn to entertain
tho regiment. I replied, “you’ll not
out do Burke, if you equal her—
company A is in the lead, and to
their noble hearted ladies, as well
as to many of their generous citi
zens, are they indebted for their
grand success.”
The time spent at your comfort
able home, Col. Bell, will always
occupy a green spot in my memory.
Your little boys who hurrahed for
the commodore, the pleasant com
pany of tho ladies, the band, and
the merry hours of amusement.
Please remember me kindly to each
and all that little company when
you meet them. Had I not been
Buffering with my throat, I would
have given something to enjoy, but
as it was, I had to call up “Liza
Jane” and “the old white sow.”
When I think of the ladies who
conducted the eating house, and
consider tho great fatigue they un
derwent, the extreme hot weather,
and how faithfully they stood at
their post from morning till mid
night supplying food and refresh
ments. I am filled with amaze
ment at their fortitude, and admi
ration for their devotion to the
cause for which we suffered so
much. Well, for their sakes, I am
glad that their task has been done;
for I know they were weary, and
when the time came to rest were
glad. Then comes up the splendid
barbecue and all its accompani
ments, not forgetting the good old
coffee pot which supplies a place
on such occasions that nothing else
can, for review. I have wondered
what was done with the surplus of
substantiajs as well as the abun
dance of the delicacies supplied by
the ladies in more than profusion
—enough for a wholo brigade, in
stead of the handful of survivors
who were present.
Dear colonel, I am sorry it did
not occur to my mind that the re
mains of those dead soldiers, whom
wo loved so well, lay so near us,
sleeping in your cemetery. I know
it would have given our men pleas
ure to have visited in a body the
graves of Major Sturges and Cupt
Corker. But it ontirely escaped
my mind. I thought of it on my
way home.
Leaving your house, Capt. Wright
und myself reached the depot just
in time to “get left,” but waited and
took passage on the freight train
one hour later. We arrived in Au
gusta 15 minutes too late to take
the morning train on the Georgia
R. R., and when all the delegates
save ourselves arrived ut home
and our friends anxiously inquired
for us, they were told that w© went
on a big drunk anil “got left.” We
put in an appearance on the next
train, and when confronted by the
report, replied that drunk or sober,
we had the grandest time of our
lives.
Since my return home, I have
written to Dr. Kilby of South Mills,
and to Capt. Andrews, at Milledge-
ville. To-day I had a pleasant call
from Capt. G. A. Jackson, formerly
of Burke, but now of Morgan coun
ty, who tells me he Is intimately
acquainted with Col. Bell, and ho
sends his regards to him and all
other friends.
Should you find the man to whom
the photograph of the “old flag” be
longs, give it to him; if he is not
found, keep it as your own, as I can
not remember his name, as I lost
my memorandum. He belongs to
company A, and paid me for the
picture, and I am anxious for him
to have it, if he can he found. His
name is Wilkins, Wllkerson or
something like it.
Now please remember me to your
good wife, all your family, and re
serve a full share for yourself. To
his honor, Mayor Wilkins, and to
all the good people of Waynesboro.
Truly yours,
Commodore.

The Harnett llouae, Htrtuuih.
The wonder of those who go to
the Harnett House, Savannah, is
that so excellent a table and such
comfortable rooms can be offered
to the public at such minimum
rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as
that of the Screven House, and the
rates just one-half as large. Cour
teous treatment makes up the sum
of its attractions. The public large
ly testified their appreciation.—

lion to Know the Approach of Cold Weather.
The little meteors which may be
seen skipping about high up in the
air on any clear night, may be used
to indicate the approach of frost
with unerring certainty. They take
fire between the cold stratum of tho
upper air and warm stratum of tho
lower atmosphere. As the upper
stratum cools, it descends lower,
and tho little meteors may be ob
served at a lower elevation. They
continue to come lower as the up
per air cools, anil when the frost
line strikes the surface, they are
rarely seen, and then only when a
warm wave mounts the cold of tho
upper air. Thus they may be made
an unerring guide to indicate tho
approach of frost.
