Not withstanding the flattering prospects we think the chances are against a good crop. 1 in i'.tins il they continue to full will cans • the plant to grow too much tu weed, and the bolls to rot. If it shoiilj turn off dry, the forms that are now on will tall off. This, we belie ve, is most gen erally the case. And even should it escape these two calamities, the boll or army worm will more than probably attack and sweep the entire crop. With aii those chiHicrs against cotton, wc think it doubtful whether we make a half ciop. (fry- CmslN'O EXERCISES OE THE F.UR birn llioh School. — Many of the class es of this school underwent an ex amination on yesterday. It was high lo creditable to the students, and de monstrated clearly that Profs. Lister and Mobley have fully discharged their duties towards those under their charge. The examination will he con tinue 4 to day with the high classes The exhibition last night was very entertaining to the boys and girls per forming their parts to pmfcctiju.— The delivery of many ot the pieces would have done credit to older heads than theirs. VI hen all did so well, it would be impioper to particularize As the examination is not closed we will have to defer a more extended no tice till our next issue. \\ e will state, that everybody is well pleaded with the progress of the school so far as examined. Profs. Lister a;id Mobley are making for themselves names that w ill rank among the be6t in the State. A griat many from a distance ure ip attendance. We regret very milch that business has prevented us from being present during the examination, \ isil to lietlisaida.—Want of mail facilities etc. On the fourth Satnday in May Rev G. R. Moor and myself had the pleas* ure of a tiip together to this best of churches, in many respects, in Camp bell enmity. \fter we got sta'ted it did not take us long to get tide as we were drawn by Parson Moor’s fine filly Retain one the finest and fleetish animals in onr know ledge. When wc ariived Rev. D A Brown was preach | ing and more than half done and by the by we hope be will prove to be eminent and useful in bis calling whi b : be bids fair to be with the proper ne i c uiragemcnt from the biethrcn. The services were dosed by a short exhor tation and prayer by Rev. G. R. Moor. . The conference was short and pleasant no contention or dealing but all at peace. There was a goodly number j of people present but I was informed that perhaps there was a less number present than hud been for a number 10l years. On Sabbath morning the Sabbath school met and sang some nice pieci a of music and then after piayer had recitation* from the Script ures. Then dosed by singing that trrand little chant Gloria Patri. After a short respite we had a few pieces of music led by myself. The regular ap pointed services were conducted by pleaching of a funeral sermon in mem ory of Carnelius Kimsey who had been a quiet consistent member of the church for several years, from Ueb., fourth chapter and tenth and eleventh verses. Subject rest. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. S. Dodd, and proved to be another one of his almost invariably happy ef forts. Then after taking 30 minutes rest and nourishing the inner man with some well prepared victuals expressly for the occasion. We had another ser mon by Rev. G. R. Moor from Paul to Titus 2nd chapter and 11th verse. “For the grace of God that briiigeth salvation both appeared to all men.’ This text is a good sermon to the be liever in Christ itself, and a auld be to the sinner without the sublime Chi is tian eloquence of Bro. Moor to impress the sublime deductions drown seeming ly from inspiration. It is useless for uie to attempt to describe cither of the sermons or ecstacies of joy of tin occasion for 1 should most certainly fail. The music at this church is the best 1 know of at any country church and as good if not better than the city churches I 1 ik-? it better, from the fact their music has not got the dutch twang to it—so that yon ounnot understand what the sentiment of the song is, and besides their is a congre gational choir that does not exclude the church from joining in singing the praises of God while the city choirs get up into the top of the church and sing such pieces that the people can not join them in praise. The “Sentinel” was n t neglected several that had not subscribed availed themselves of tho opportunity. Many inoie would if they had a post office in the neighbor hood. And this reminds me that Beth saida is from 0 to 10 miles from Jones boro, Fayeltville, Fair bum, Red Oak, East Point or any' where else where there is a post office and it does seem that the government ought to furnish that place with a mail line from Fair born or some oilier place, and appoint some good man or woman post master or mistress, ard if the government will not discharge its duty—the peo ple of that vicinity ought to get tip something of the kind among them selves, and while I am on that subject —I will maintain several other neigh bor hoods in our county that are in the same condition, and 1 hope this piece of my notion will be properly considered to apply to all such cases, (to-wit) Sandtown or Owhock Cross anker, Providence, Sedarbrancli, Pe tersburg, Eanon, and also in Douglas at Lickskillct, Morris’ A. Abercrombie's mills, or store. Prays church, Flint 11,11, Skinner, Skinned Chestnut, Center County Line, and Furgurson’s mills, and in Fulton county, at Mi. Gilead, ami Dr. J. S Wilson, and also in Fay ette county, at Concord church, Lan drum’s mill, Shakerag, I)r. Fall’s Don- Irlin, Antioch, and hopeful, and J. Aus tin, 1 must be excused for not wiii ing this sooner as other matters seem ed to occupy the needed space in the Sentinel. Ye Local. tay- Crop Prospects. —We learn Lom a friend that has been traveling tliTough the counties of Campbell, Cow eta, Carroll, Douglas, Heaid, Meriweth er and Troup, that not withstanding the superabundance of rain during the spring season, the crops are quite pro mising in those counties. Cotton is better than could be expected, and corn and oats splendid, and more corn gt jwii-g in those counties than have since the war. Fru tof all kinds in profusion, and farmers generally in good spirits SsjT - What Fairiurn Has.— Editor Sentinel: As much lias been said of what F.iirbiirii nee is, I wish to say something of what Fairborn has; and, u and 'ing sii, I shall only state facts.— Ii is not my intention to puff the place or flatter anybody. Well, to begin. It would be impossible I >r anybody to convince me that I could find a better place to live than Fail burn. This is not because I ;m so needed to the place or have any very bind.ng ties that l am blinded; (ml it is because I have lived in several other places in Georgia, some of w hich ranks as the best towns in the State, and 1 have traveled through most of the Southern States, besides some in tho North.— I have had good chances of observa tion, betides much experience with human nature for one of my years, and it therefore makes me feel sad when I see some unhappy, discontent eel family se-lling out, biunking up and leaving this God favored country to find that which I know is impossible; upon this earth, viz: a better place to live than in and about Fairborn.— And why ? Because the location is the most pleasant, being not excess ively' hot in summer but most time ce>ol and pleasant, while the winter is wild enough to be enjoyable. No bet ter water can bo found on the earth. Milk, honey and fruits of all kinds are abundant. We seldom ever hear of anybody suffering for the necssitiea of life, while as to health, all are bound to admit that there is no healthier place to be found this side of heaven. We have a railroad with trains from the east and west, morning and evening. So that w have communi cation daily from all parts of the world The inhabitation of this pleas ant land are generally intelligent, in dustiions, religions, kind and hospita ble. What more can we want ? Why not stay here contented and make our selves happy ? Worship our God un der our own vines ;D'd fig tree, and in the end still peacefully repose be neath the soil of this glorious laud.— As to what Fairborn lias, I speak the truth, she lias as kind citizens one toward another as it is possible for a town to nave. I have seen them tried time and again. They have hearts to feel for the distressed. They pay every ouo Ihe respect that is due them. They frown upon bad charac ters. They love good society. They havo no arisbioiacy, only eiMUgh to bo respectable wliieb is very essential. They have no aristocracy, only onough to be respectable which is very essen tial tboro iaie.t.'jof them iie.li, but they can be happy if they will, for there is nothing liking that I know of. J. B. Bsasf-F.vi. mf.tto 11 mu School Examina tion. — This school is taught by Profs. J. II Covin and W. L Cousins, and Miss. M. Cania Zimmerman, teacher of French and Music. 1 was gratified to learn that those young gentlemen were both vative Georgians, and that Miss. Zimmerman, though m t a Georgian, was raised in ur sister State South Carolina. lam glad to see that our people are getting into tho idea of sus taining home folks and home enter prises. May the time soon come when the idea that “distance lends enchant ment'’ will be banished fiotn among our people, and be obsolte except in nain’. Well, judging fiom the manner in which the students of the Palmetto School acquitted themselves according to my judgment, the people have been blessed in procuring those accom plished young gentlen and lady as teachers. Their classes without an exception, acquitted themselves cred itably in the examination. I learn that the exhibition was not cherished by by some of the teachers, and hence could not be expected to be as good as it might have been under other cir cumstances, though w ith some excep tions was good. The young ladias compositions were veiy good, and were read splendidly. The young mens declamation were generally fine. The comic pieces generally were good, and one of the speakers said he had said enough, and I ihink if that young man that rode old souk to the mill, had thought to have left half of old sook out of the question, he might have truthfully said lie had said enough. Rather too bilious for a re fined audience. Some of the music was good, con sidering it was principally led by very small giila. On tho whole, we enjoyed the occasion splendidly, saw quite a a number of old friends, formed some new acquaintances, hid a fine time eating and drinking, got several sub scribers to the Sentinel. Glad that Campbell has such a place as Palmet to in it, and that it is surrounded by as good country and people, The peo ple there and thereabouts are alive to the interest of their town and vicinity, just like every body should he. The Exercises of the Palmetto High School, w ill be aesnmod again on Mon day, the 10th day of July. A Spectator. Fair;n. i:\ High School— Ed,tor Sentinel: The examination of the above Institution is now going on. We have spent all the time we could spare from business in the school room to-day and yesterday. Profs. Mobley and Lister are gentlemen of talent and energy. Their students are thorough ly: tonghl. We have not only seen and heard these classes examined, but have tested them ourself, and feel safe in sr-yiug, that they are equal if not superior to any we ever witnessed. There is one thing that Fuirburn may well boast of, and that is her school. Let eveiy one sustain tLis school, both by patronage and influence, and we will have one of the best institutions of h aiming known to our country. Fairburx Ga., June, 30th 1871- \V. H. A. Died.— On Saturday the 24th inst., at 12 o’clock M. Elder James Rainwater departed this life after suf fering for several years with Paralysis, oaused by a fall from a horse, and the horse falling on him. This extraordi nary preserving and zealous Christian gentleman, has been known to ride from his home at Petersburg, in this in this county, to Meriwether county, some thirty-five or forty miles, and preach a sermon and preside over the church coiilcionce, and then return home on the same day, and then make the same trip the next day. He was equally as industrious and preserving as a farmer, and in making a living for himself and family, ns he was in the discharge of his religions duty and has never dependent on the church es of his charge for a support. An ex ample in life worthy the attention of everybody. I have not been able to learn the particulars of his last moments of con sciousness But from the knciWh dge 1 have of his uniform Christian life, that the churches and his numerous friends and relatives; loss is his etern al gain. For fear it may be cosidered that 1 have attempted to write his obituary, and knowing that I cannot do the subject justice I will desist. A Friend.
