ISiirko county Georgia Inis always j

county was in 1758 known as St,

Sixteen years afterwards a
portion was added to Seri veil coun

present boundaries are as follows.

by Savannah river, West by Jeffer

The name was given it in honor of
Edmund Burke a champion of
American liberty, who was born in
Ireland in 1730 and who materially
aided the American embassadors
headed by benjamin Franklin, in
their fruitless effort to be heard
in behalf of the American congress,
before the British parliament.
In the present division of the
state it lies in that portion known
a,s East Georgia. Tho county has
long been known as the leading
county in the production of cotton.

Briar, Boggy Gut, Sweet-water,
Itocky, Beaver-dam, Walnut, Bark
Camp, Buckhead and a few other
smaller streams.
The county is about 33 miles long
and 42 miles wide and contains
about 1050 square miles. About
7 percent, of this is in swamps and
almost irreclaimable; 60 per cent,
is tillable. The lands abound in
iron ore. Buhr stone marl, lime
stone, gypsum, chalcedony, agates,
pitch and jasper stone, and at least
ten different kinds of fossils. The
soil is fertile and is improved annu
ally and is peculiarly adapted to
the culture of corn and cotton,
small grain, etc. All kinds of fruits,
grapes and vegetables thrive well.
There are several places of note.
First, the jail in Waynesboro, the
capital city of the county, is promi

American forces had a combat with
the British. The former were vic
torious and this is the engagement
in which Oapt. Inman, is reported
as having killed by his own. hand

Shell Bluff,situated on the Savan
nah river, is an elevation of about
80 feet and attracts the attention of
all who visit the place. The lime
sinks, abound in tiie Southern por
tion of tiie county and are a mys
tery to many who annually visit
them. The
MAGNOLIA SPRINGS,
near Lawtonville, is a picturesque
place and is a great resort for pleas
ure seekers. It is here the water
seems to sink and does not
show itself again until some dis
tance is reached, when it rushes
into a mill pond. In tho long ago
an Indian jumped in the placo and
.successfully swam the subterranean
passage and emerged into tho mill
pond. In later years, an English
man hearing of tho fact, attempted
tiie same rash feat, and has never
boon heard from.
In 1880 the population was 27,076.
(> t this number 26,321 were born in
this state, and only 40 of foreign

are plenty of farms for sale; many
valuable building lots can be bought
cheap. Lands range in prices from
two to ten dollars per acre. The

free from limestone, the people as
clever as any the sun ever shone
upon, and the surroundings point
out this place as one to be desired
by all who seek health, pleasure, or
the advantages of church and school
privileges. I have often wondered
why the wealthier classes of our
people will go beyond the limits of
the county to spend the summer
months, or to send their children
beyond the confines of our own
territory, to get an education when
we have in our midst and almost
right at our own doors, better facili
ties than we get; elsewhere and at a
much less cost. Spend your money

At appointed times of evening

her audiences to shouts and tears.
Men of strong minds say there is
something supernatural about her.
She never went to school a day in

She is unusually small for her age,

She has always been of a reticent

Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution yesterday pub
lished a circular issued by the Rail
road Commission that deserves
notice. Tiie circular relates to a
rate on broom corn. There is in
this city a broom corn factory
which ships brooms to points as far
West as San Antonio, Texas. But
the material of which the brooms
are made lias to be brought from
Chicago at a rate of about 59 cents
for one hundred pounds, a distance
of 731 miles. The rate was made at
the solicitation of the Atlanta broom
company, as the rate heretofore has
been too high to enable the farmer
to produce the article.
The prourietors of the Atlanta
broom factory, in order to encour
age the production of the article at
home, have given to the fanners of
Georgia large quantities of tiie seed.
They luivo most gratifying reports
from those to whom they have sent
the seed, and they anticipate most
favorable results. Tiie climate of
Georgia is as well adapted to the
production of broom corn as that of
any state of the Union, and there is
absolutely nothing to hinder our
farmers from realizing reasonable
profits on their investment in broom
corn culture. Children can culti
vate it.
It seems to us that the tanners of
Georgia should look into tho matter.
The broom factory of Atlanta would
gladly buy tho broom corn from
them. Thus the money for the raw
material, as well as for the manu
factured article, would remain in
the state, and all parties would
thereby be benofitted.

Just a little more than eleven
miles from Greensboro, and not
more than half as many from Union
Point, is Bethany clinch. Lying
upon a sloping hill, in the midst of
tin sighing pines and bending oaks
on a grassy plot, the modest and un
pretentious little church, will,
within a few weeks, be the scene
of events which will be famous years
to come in the history of religion in
Georgia. Upon this same hill, and
amid these same oaks—which were
twigs and maybe acorns in those
days—more than a century ago, the
first religious services were held,
and at this spot the nucleus of a
Presbyterian church was made,
which has been increased as the
years came and went until it is now
ono of the largest congregations in
the county. In the little cemetery,
hard by tiie white frame church,
the dust of these pilgrims lie, but
the winds which murmur amid tiie
pines, ana stoop to press tiie sod
which lies above them have, thro’
all tho years, wafted their deeds and
creed to the growing world about
them. The lives they live of patient
devotion to tho Christain cause,
would weave into a story, and it is
the remembrance of these early
strugglers which brings the church
together this year in a centennial
reunion. It will he one of the grand
est events in the history of the
church and of our county. The re
ligious services will be particularly
interesting. Many eminent divines
from all parts of tiie soutli will be
in attendance, and will preach upon
different subjects. On Sunday, the
15th of August, it is now expected
that ltev. T. DeWitt Talmage will
deliver a sermon. Dr. Talmage has
been to Bethany before; his uncle,
tlu^ celebrated Dr. Talmage, was
pastor at Bethany during the
church’s infancy, and this great di
vine limy be looked for. His pres
ence, in addition to the other exer
cises will serve to draw an immense
concourse of people.

A Toney Colored Wedding,
The biggest colored wedding ever
witnessed in Louisiana was that
celebrated at Sonoloque plantation,
in Iberville parish a few days ago.
Few white weddings compare with
it. There was a special train from
New Orleans for the invited guests,
a string band imported especially
for the occasion and refreshments
by the first restauranter in New
Orleans. By daylight the mansion
of the bride’s father was a mass ot
natural flowers; by night the
grounds were lighted with lantern:*
and Japanese fire.’ All the cream
of colored society graced the oc
casion, and not a few white persons
of standing were among'the guests.
As for the dresses few ball-rooms
have seen anything finer or tastier.
The contracting parties were Miss
Eladie Allain, daughter of a mem
ber of the Louisiana legislature, and
Prof. Palmeston Landrey, of Mans
field college, another legislator.—
The bride’s father, originally a slave
and coachman, boro in those days

Mr. Dunlap sahl In conversation recently:
“About four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
mo for a time, mul which developed Into
what Is commonnly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing me when least expected, and laying mo
up entirely; incapacitating me for any kind

In a day as should be crowded In a lifetime.
After one tf my most severe attacks, and
when I had Just got able to hobble around, I
met Mr. J. M. Ilunnicult, nil old friend, and
he said ho could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, he did. I took two
bottles of Ids stull', prepared from roots and
herbs, and 1 have never had a twinge of rheu
matism since. The medicine was not pre
pared for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnicutt for Ills friends.
About six months ago it was determined to
place It upon tLe market, and a Ann was or
ganized for that purpose. Two weeks ugo, in
the midst of my suffering, I noted In one of
their advertisements that It was good for kid
ney troubles also. I knew It would cure rheu
matism, and 1 bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give it a fair show
at a kidney disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, but the tlrst day’s use gave
mo relief, and before I hud completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms had

oldest being abaut 12 years of ago,
was killed by them whilo sleeping

an aunt living near and confessed
the horrible deed, saying that their
father had whipped them and
threatened to choke and cut their
throats when lie had taken a nap;
Tho boys .secured an ax, and whilo
he slept aimed three or four blows
at bis head, killing him before he
could rise. Tho boys aro small for

Martin was addicted to drinking,
but as he worked hard at a neigh

the killing took placo Immediately
after, It is not probable that he was
in liquor.

A curious case of violation of the
prohibition law occurred in DeKalb
county. Daniel Bearden, a man of
60 years or more, and weak in body,
plead guilty to selling wldsky with
out a license. On investigation it
appeared that Beaulcn had his
clothes so arranged that lie carried
about ids person an assortment of
liquors, with sugar, hitters, nutmeg,
glasses, etc., so that he became a
veritable traveling barroom, with
all tho conveniences except ice.
And yet to look at him ho was
innocent of that as the heathen
Chinee was of curds up Itis sleeves.
As ho was old and Infirm the judge
scutcnccod him to two months In
jail and to nay a fine of $21) and costs
or In default thereof to serve four
mouth additional in jail.
A Dakota editor made the follow
ing statement in his paper last
week: “Times being rather hard,
wc are going to take our wife to
tho home of our mother-in-law next
week for a short visit; and we will
give our readers a little vacation
by not Issuing any paper. They
won’t lose much, for there is little
news going just now; and we print
this woek tin editorial on tlvo tariff
which would have appeared next
week. The only thing we have
had to leave out on this account is
Bill Jones’ ad. about a farm for sale;
but that is of no consequence as ho
hasn’t paid us anything for it yet.
Brethren, white paper is too blamed
dear to fool it away when our
mother-in-law will keep us a week
for nothing.”
