FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Grantvllle.
* Mr. Editor:—Mr. P. .1. Sewell, our
genial fellow-citizen and proprietor of
the Sewell Hotel, has shown me a letter |
frpm Commissioner .T. T. Henderson,
showing the analyses of water from
Grantville Park and Mineral Springs,
^and I enclose copy of said letter:
Atlanta, Ga., July 2d, 1888.
Mr. P. J. Sticell, drantcillc, Go.— I
h DEAR Sir: Prof. White makes the fol-1
^ tnving report on the water furnished ,
f by you: „ j
Wf No. 1. Contains 170,528 grains per L.
W t S. gallon of solid matter dissolved,
r 1 consisting mainly of carbonate of iron, i
sulphate of alumina and sulphate of
lime with, approximately, 40 grains per
gallon of common salt. This is a very
strong iron-alum water of excellent
i quality,
j V. No. 2. Contains 30,208 grains per U.
L S. gallon of solid matter dissolved. It
I .is similar in character to No. 1, but of
nouch less strength.
No. 3. Contains 205,136 grains per I'.
S. gallon of solid matter dissolved,
chiefiy sulphate of alumina and sul
phate of lime, with small quantities of
iron and common salt. This is a very
strong alum water.
Yours truly.
Jno. T. Henderson,
* Commissioner of Ag’r.
'* There are several of these springs,
and all are located in a pretty grove,
through which walks and drives have
been laid off, and preparations are be
ing made for the erection of a dam a
short distance below the springs, which
will give us a lake of considerable depth
.vnd it will add very much to the park.
We are very much gratified that we
have such a place of resort at our own
doors.
Mr. T. E. Zellars has a young lady
visitor at his house, whose name I have
not been able to learn. She is very
modest, and refuses to speak to any
one, only in “baby-land” lingo.
I am informed that a special invita-
■ti®n has been extended by one of our
citizens to a Newnanite to visit Grant-
ville and partake of the invigorating
waters of Grantville Park and Mineral
Springs. These springs possess some
wonderfully rejuvenating properties.
Is it thou, Peter?
" Mr. and Mrs. Reeves, nee Miss Sallie
Cotter, of Athens, are visiting the fam
ily of Mr. J. F. Lovejoy.
Mrs. Wm. A. Speer, of Atlanta, is on
a visit to relatives here and at Ilogans-
ville.
The barbecue at Grantville Park and
Mineral Springs will be as good as the
firmer one, and that will be good
enough. Date not determined upon
yet. The public will be notified and
invited. Auden.

■ Mr. Editor: — Politics are waxing
warmer as the hot season advances.
Did you ever see several drummers try
ing to sell goods to one merchant at the
same time?—then, you can imagine
how a poor voter feels. All the can
didates are well represented in IIar.nl-
* son district with good workers. One
Attacks the poor voter and by the time
j.s vocabulary is exhausted, and the
I “poor voter” has almost sworn allegi
ance to said worker, up comes another
worker and the voter promises him, and
so on through the whole list. Some
want more laws and better ones, and
some want less laws and obedience to
what we have. Well, I wish I could
} vote for all the candidates, for each one
i$,p gentleman in the true acceptation
of the term; but two only can go this
time, and I feel that those two will be
the choice directly of the people. Un
der the present system of election, I
believe that Coweta’s choice of her two
l will reflect honor upon the county; for
either one of the candidates would
| prove himself fully worthy of the com
lidencereposed in him by tire voters
q^Coweta.
| Our crop prospects were never better
than at this writing.

Mr. Editor:—Dr. George Couch, from
Newton, Ga., has been visiting his sis
ter, Mrs. G. E. Camp.
We are waiting with anxious expec
tation the arrival of several young la
dies this week.
I am acquainted with a young man
who thinks a certain lady’s name
should begin with C instead of B; and
I may know one who thinks it should
be B instead of C.
A musical entertainment at Dr. G. E.
Camp’s hospitable residence'was great
ly enjoyed by a small company of
friends on last Friday evening. Mrs.
Camp is a most estimable lady and
knows ju*t how to make you feel wel
come to her house. Why don’t we
have social gatherings oftener ?
Not a good plan to call without an
engagement. Sometimes the lights are
out, are they not, Young?
Mr. S. V. Carpenter has finished
the rounds with his threshing ma
chine. He reports a sorry yield of
wheat, but the oat crop turned out
well.
Mrs. B. M. Couch and children have
returned home, after a visit of several
days to Ilogansville.
Mrs. L. S. Young and Mrs. F. S.
Cureton visited friends at Sunny Side
last week.
Mr. Phillip Smith, the well-known
fruit grower, sent some very line sam
ples of his fruit to Puckett’s, which was
encouraging to the fruit growers here.
Messrs. Camp & Cureton received
an order from Mr. W. C. Aycock, of
Griffin, this week for three thousand
grape baskets, which they have already
delivered, shipping them by express.
They are daily receiving orders for
peach and pear crates, and have made
large shipments.
The school here is holding up very
well. The only thing we have to re
gret about our school is, that there are
not enough young folks right here to
sustain a large attendance.

Powelville.
Mr. Editor:—As business was so press
ing last week and your correspondent
was off part of the time lie failed to
send in the news from this village.
It continues to rain, and grass seems
to have taken on new life. Upland
corn is looking fine and bids fair to make
a good yield. The cotton crop is not
so good, as the incessant rains seem to
have given it the rust or fired it up. But
we can never tell much about the cot
ton prospect at this season.
Politics and candidates are the gen
eral topics of the day. The farmer can
scarcely eat a meal without being in
terrupted by some one of the can
didates.
I am very sorry to hear of the serious
illness of Miss Nettie Halfacre, a sister
of Mrs. George Powell, of this place.
July 18th. Ephraim.
From Around the Corner.
]\[r. Editor:—I am requested to ask
you, (as editors are presumed to know
everything,) if it is against the revenue
laws to make wine or brandy out of
May-pops. One of my neighbors has a
May-pop farm; another a wild-coffee
farm, and still another a pc.or-Dick-
slow-Joe-or-lazy-Jack (or whatever you
may call the vegetable,) farm. Owing
to the splendid seasons the last month
or two these three farms have an abun
dant crop of these three vegetables.
Can’t the wild-coffee be made into a
cool prohi-drink—using the poor-Diek-
Joe-or-Jack as a flavoring and spiking
with essence of May-pops? Please
tell us when the vegetables may be har
vested so as to give the most abundant
yield, with the greatest financial bene
fit. Any information that you can
give or gather from your numerous cor
respondents will be thankfully receiv
ed and highly appreciated by your an
cient friend, Old Stray.
P. S.—Will May-pops dried or canned
keep through the winter, and will they
make good pies? Again, will wild-
coffee make a good substitute for Rio,
and will poor-Dick-slow Joe-lazy-Jack
substitute green tea ? Please advise.

OBITUARY.
Robinson—Another mother in Is
rael has been “gathered to her people.”
Mrs. Sarah A. Robinson, relict of the
late lamented John E. Robinson, died i
June 12th, 1888. She was born in Wal- j
ton county. Ga., February Stb, 1820. i
As Sarah Ann Ramey she was married i
to John E. Robinson, December 17th, i
1835. She united with the Baptist!
church in Newnan by letter, in March, J
At the time of her death Sister Robin- j
son was the senior member of the
church, luviug joined it fifty-two years I
before. Her long years of discipline
gave evidence of a genuine and an j
abiding faith in God. As the wife of a •
deacon she occupied a prominent place 1
in her rhureh. and discharged cheer
fully. before enfeebled by age. the re
sponsible duties of her position.'
Her house was the home of >DkI's ser
vants, and in them -he entertained her
Lord. She will finally hear: “anas- j
much as you have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, you i
have done it unto me.” Aaid not only !
did her faith and service evince her re- j
ligion, but her sufferings aligned her
with “the heirs of hope.” It is written:
“Many are the afflictions of the right
eous.” This is a divine mark. Amidst
her years, two accomplished daughters I
were taken, then a son, and then a no-1
ble husband. She came through the ’
“deep waters” with less of earth and
more of heaven. Her years of widow
hood were spent “sorrowing, yet re
joicing.” She often said to her pastor
that, in prayer she constantly commit
ted herself, in her anxieties and fears,
to Him who had promised, “I will nev-;
er fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Her
closing years were spent in her quiet
home with two devoted daughters, j
Under their close and untiring ministry
her every want was anticipated and
supplied. Their devotion was an hon-!
or to childhood, and it sweetened the
mother's old age, and softened her pil-,
low of death ! May the God of “the <
parents passed into the skies,” be the
Guide and portion of the sorrowing |
children. Pastor.

REST.
E. VAN WINKLE & Co.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA,

“He rests in God.” ’Tis all we read ;
The mouldering stone reveals no more.
“In God.” Of other words what need?
These span the broad eternal shore.
O’erladen with its starry blooms,
A jasmine bush conceals the mound.
Neglected In the place of tombs,
With spicy, golden sweetness crowned.
And deep within its leafy breast
Some tuneful bird has sought a home.
The tiny brood within the nest
Fearless and free to go and come.
A holy quietude is here,
Save where the happy birdling’s song
Breaks through the stillness pure and clear,
And echoes the dark flrs among.
Sleep on, sleep on, thou pulseless heart,
Where jasmine stars drop golden rain,
From every troubled thought apart.
Forgotten every earthly pain.
Sleep on; thy long repose is sweet;
Tender and cool thy grassy sod.
Traveler! stay thy hurrying feet—
Step softly here—“He rests in God.”
How Doctors Conquer Death.
Doctor Walter K. Hammond says:
“After a long experience I have come
to the conclusion that two-thirds of all
deaths from coughs, pneumonia and
consumption, might be avoided if Ack
er’s English Cough Remedy were only
carefully used in time.” This wonder
ful remedy is sold under a positive
guarantee by W. P. Broom, Newnan,
Ga.
Tiie Marquis de Leuville, he of the
greased locks, crimped beard, corseted
waist and sensuous leer, is reading his
“pomes’ in London,
Careless Mothers.
Many mothers have permitted their
children to die before their eyes when
they might have been saved. Any
mother who keeps house without a bot
tle of Acker’s English Baby Soother at
hand, runs a risk which she may some
time regret. It has saved the lives of
thousands of children, and is doing so
every year. Sold by W. P. Broom,
Newnan, Ga.,
Emperor William has agreed to
the proposal that his mother should
bear the titles of Empress and Queen
Frederick.
Better than Bloody Battles.
General Wheatcroft Nelson, says:
“My experience in the English army as
well as in America, convinces me that
nothing so thoroughly purifies the
blood or adds to health, vigor and life
as Acker’s English Blood Elixir.”
This great remedy is sold under a pos
itive guarantee by W. P. Broom, New
nan, Ga.

Dr. J. W. Oslin & Son, druggists, of Gaines

It will restore the smell.
Mr. Wm. O’Connor, of Moscow, Tenn., un
der date of September 5, 1887, writes: “Send
ne another bottle of your medicine. I think
I am improving. I have not smelled any
thing in two three years until a few days ago.
Send as soon as you get this, as I do not want
to get out. 1 know it is doing me good, wheth
er it cures me or not. I expect it will take a
iong time to cure me, as I have it so bad.”
Atlanta, Ga. Canadian Catarrh Cure Co.:
Gentlemen—My wife and little boy have suf-
ferred greatly from catarrh for several years.
I determined to try “Canadian Catarrh Cure,”
and I am happy to say that one bottle has
relieved my wife entirely, and improved my

second bottle is empty be will be cured. I
cheerfully recommend it to any one suffering
from this dreadful disease. Yours, etc.,
