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. July 19th. Eureka Mills. ■ 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. Miss Lollie Cline, one of Oakland’s ost lovely and highly accomplished I oung ladies, has charge of a flourish-! g music school at Haralson and is rding at “The Magnolia.” Prof. Turner’s school opened under most favorable circumstances—forty j ,pils registering the first week.

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. July 19th. Zubetus. 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. July 18th. O. S. 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, MANUFACTURE “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.

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.

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.
