BETTER THAN' SHE EXPECTED. “Your letter received. In reply I am happy ,o say that Parker’s Hair Balsam did much more for me than you said it would, or than I expected. My hair has not only stopped fall¬ ing out, but the bald spots are ail covered, and all my hyir has grown thicker, softer and more lively than it was before my sickness a year ago. Thank you again and ajrain.” Ex¬ tract from letters of Mr. R. w, T„ West Fifty third street, New York. Rockdale has never had a more efficient tax-lieceiver than our clever young friend Mr. W*. T. Huson. He will in all probability be his own successor without opposition, as he should be. A GREAT DISCOVERY. Mr. Wm Thomas, of Newton, la., says: “My wiio has been seriously affected with a cough for 25 years, and this spring more severely than ever before. -She had used many reme¬ dies without relief, and being urged to try Dr. King’s New Discovery, did so, with most gratifying her results. The first bottle relieved very much, and the second bottle bus ab¬ health solutely cured her. She has not bad so good for thirty years.” John McCollum, our musical pros digy, is visiting friends and relatives at Fayetteville, this week. There are a pair of very bright eyes that will watch his coming and will put on an additional brilliancy when he returns. Miss Bessie Butler, the charming daughter of Rev. D. E. Butler, of Madison, who has been visiting friends in our city for a week past, left for home last Wednesday, much to the regret of a host of admiring friends. Rpv. D. E. Butler is conducting a series of meetings at the second Bap¬ tist church in this place this week and much interest is being manifest¬ ed. Mr. Butler is a logical speaker and seldom fails to bring conviction to his hearers. HIS LOSS WAS HER GAIN. “Well madam,” said a fashionable pbysician to a wealthy lady patient, “if you < ion’t like my prescriptions, perhaps you had better try Parker’s Tonic, or some other quack stuff.” “You don’t mean it Doctor,” she answered, “but your advice may be {rood for all that. Sometimes what you call ‘quack stuff'is the best and most scientific medicine, after all.” She got a bottle of Parker's Tonic and it cured her of neuralgia arising from disordered stomach and nerves. She told her friends, and now they all keep a doctor at home in the form of Parker's Tonic. Notice.— To the members of Con¬ yers Lodge, No. 92, I. O. O. F.. the regular meeting nights of the Lodge, has been changed from Monday nights to Saturday nights. W. T. Huson, S?c’y. The Gninesville Southern saysthat the Republican party in Georgia will march up to the polls solidly and cast their ballots for Blaine and Lo gan. We reckon not, uncle Pete, unless Gov. McDaniel pardons them How the thuuder do you expect a party to march up to the polls with a bali and chain around its leg. Young men whose rulings charac¬ teristics are loud swearing, hard drinking and other vices too numer¬ ous to mention, appear to be on the increase in our town, and strange to say they are the most popular with some of the young ladies just enter¬ ing society. Young ladies, you are doing yourselves an injury and en¬ couraging these young men in their vices. Do not waste your money, and risk injuring your hair by purchas¬ ing useless washes or oils, but buy something that has a record—a reme¬ dy that everybody knows is reliable. Hall’s Hair Renewer will invigorate, strengthen, and beautify the hair, restore its color it faded or turned gray, ani reader it soft, silken and lustrous. Miss Mary Corley, one of Coving¬ ton’s most lovely and popular young ladie8 > after a P leaSant sta * ° f 3 week in our cit L departed for home i as t Tuesday, and now sadness rei S hn9 s u P ren m in the hearts of cer ain of our * 0UD 2 beaux - ^ e will have a full account of the death nf Rev. Geo. R. Moor in our next issue * Rev. \V. W. Wadsworth, formerly pastor of the First < ethoclist church in Athens, will go into the newspa per business. Wayside Gatherings. We can speak for all that went to the enteriainmeut that was given by the Oakland Seminal v, on last \Y ed nesday, July 30th, tor we know that every body went home in good spir fjs and well pleased. No other en tertainment could have a D y better music than they did, the music was the best that it has been our good fortune to hear. The little fiddler John put on all his Sunday appear¬ ance, but no wonder. We heard several through the con¬ gregation say that Miss Alice Lee was the most beautiful young lady on the stage—we know some “one” will say so too. We wonder if the sweet little or¬ ganist has poped the question yet to the little fiddler ? Milly. NOTICE. Monroe, Ga., Aug- 5, 1883. Hon. A. C. McCalla : Dear Sir.—A local in the Walton News of to-day to the effect that in the event of a deadlock in the Sena¬ torial Convention, many democrats would press my name for the nomi¬ nation, fearing that I couid not de¬ feat Mr. Hugh Carithers for the House of Representatives is without foundation, and does the democrats of this county and myself gross injus¬ tice. No such action will be tolera¬ ted by myself or friends, and I will not be a candidate for the Senate un¬ der any circumstances. Respectfully, John W. Arnold. Stockbridge Items. We had the pleasure of attending on last Saturday and Sunday, camp meeting at Shingle-roof camp ground We have witnessed meetings of greater excitement, hut we have never before witnessed a quieter and nicer meeting. But few preachers were present, so far as we were able to ob¬ serve. Those present were Revs. Harwel, Lowry, of Jonesboro ; Eng¬ land, of Monroe, who succeeds Rev. Rev. Gray, of the McDonough cir¬ cuit, and Gardner, the presiding El ,der of McDonough circuit, He preached at 11 o’clock on Sunday morning. Union settlement was well repre¬ sented on Sunday by Rev. G. W. Simmons and family, Mr. John Browning and his charming daugh¬ ter, Miss Lula, handsome dudine. Mr. Frank Cook, John G. Mann, Esq., and family, Mr. G. W. Morris, Squire W. D. C. Bentley, Mr. Jack Granade and family, Messrs. Jim and Will Park and VYalter and Bob Sharp. We were hignly gratified to see our old friend and teacher, Prof. C. J. Richardson, of Stockbridge. Among our other friends from that place, we noticed Miss Laura Hambrick, Miss Livy Gammage, Mr. John Hambrick, and Mr. Ben Ward. Flippen was represented by Prof. Yol. Albert, Mr. Moss and Miss Price and sister. Our stay was made more enjoyable by the presence ot our clever, hand¬ some and jovial friend, Mr. Jack McKnight, also Miss Eddie Tread¬ well, Miss Livy Swann and Miss Em¬ ma Tucker and Miss Hattie Sum¬ mers, of Smyrna, Henry county. Part of Union settlement was represented by Mr. Jim Bowen and sisters, Mr. Ben Bowqn and Miss Josie Faulk¬ ner, Mr. Tom Treadwell and his fine lady of Atlanta, are visiting of old friends and relatives in Henry, and were on the grounds. We will terminate this tape-roll mention of names by giving three cheers for the unbounded hospitality of the good people that tented at Sbingle-roof camp ground. A good three days meeting at Flat Shoals closed Sunday. It was con¬ ducted by Elders Isaac Hamby and Webb. Only three accessions. Squires. Lettar from Dr. Quigg. Rev. Dr. Quigg in writing to his family says : London, July 21, 1884. I have heard Spurgeon again. He looks much older than when I saw him before in 1871. At 11 o’clock he came hobbling down to the plat form from a door in the rear ot the church thrown open lor his egress.; After him came six or seven elders, j and t«ok their seats behind h m. Tho’ j a Baptist he has eldera as we do. As every thiug connected with this wou- {derful man and his Tabernacle is of j intere-t to the whole Christian world j l will give you the order et exercises, The first thing was a prayer of about five minutes, and such a prayer ! It seemed as it he had entered within the veil and was talking to his Heav enly p ather face to face as mail fatn . jii ar w j t h jjjg friends, Then singing. Then he read ami commented on the last chapter in first John. His incisive remarks on each verse as he read, were better than most sermons we hear. He did not, it is true, thr.iw the same fine and force into his remarks that he did when I heard him before. Then singing again. He told them to sing taster and with more life. Then he prayed again 13 minutes. At prayer the congregation sits. It was a pe¬ culiar, yet excellent prayer, After prayer singing. Then the sermon His text was'first John 5th chapter, and 13th verse. I’ll send you the sermon if I can find it to-morrow. It was very good. He spent 50 minutes on the introduc¬ tory services, and 40 minutes on the sermon. There were two short hand writers busily at work near the pul¬ pit. After sermon he closed the ser¬ vices without either singing or prayer by simply pronouncing the benedic¬ tion. As in the Scotch and Irish Presbyterian church all stood while singing. No choir, nor instrument of music was used, yet the singing was grand. There were about 7,000 people presen'. The Tabernacle was packed. I expect there were about 1,000 Americans on hand, The cholera in France holds them onttiis side of the channel. The cholera has made hovoc of the plans of the trav eler. I enclose you a printed slip showing how they are treated on the continent. After the service Dr. Latham and myself had a pleasant shake hands with the great preacher. We sought an interview. The usher asked for my card which I showed him. After a little, one of his elders came back and ushered us into his private room in the Tabernacle. He was exceedingly pleasant and ex¬ pressed his gratification at meeting us before wc got up to where he was sitting, as sitting, for he was so wore out with the service that he was not able to stand. The first thing he said was, “were you at the Pan as sembly!” Oh! that w;.s such a fine meeting I am rather glad you took in the Cumberland and I think they want to do right. I saw two of their delegates to the Pan Assembly about a week ago. They did not seem to want to talk about their reception ! You may not be aware that they got a slap on the face as they were taken in. Now I will tell you what really astonished us. He said “I am sub¬ ject to low spirits, I am given to melancholy” I remarked, you were preaching to yourself to-day then, O yes, says he “I pitch into myself every now and then. “I never have a great success in anything, but I sink into the depths of despondency. I have had no enjoyment in anything I have done for the last 12 years.” Yet while talking in this strain he was all the time laughing and hilari¬ ous. We remained only a few min¬ utes but he kept talking to us until we got out side the door. I came away meditating on the heart sor¬ rows of this great and good man and feeling how true it is that the heart knows its own bitterness. He has had his sore bereavements as well as others, and as those tell on others, so on him. Speaking of his own physi cal malady, he said, “it breaks on my hands and feet and face every now and then.” I have a through of it, he added every six months. We did not ask him what the disease was. You notice what simple com¬ mon place language he uses. He said in the beginning of his sermon, speaking of the simplicity of John from whose writings he had taken his trust, a fool can affect pomposity and use high sounding words and lofty rhetoric hut it takes a man of sense to make things simple and plain. He is much less animated and more subdued in tone, and his voice much less like a trumpet than j h ear J him last. He is doing more good in London than the Arch¬ bishop Canterberry. He is the grand¬ est instrument that God has been pleased to use in . the 19th ce nturv and with it a n, he i s really in com versat ; on us s i mp i e as a child. II. Q.

Lee, Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWER was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases Of the scalp, and the first suc¬ cessful restorer of faded or gray liair to it» natural color, growth, and yovlUifut beauty. It has had many imitators, but none have so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. Hall’s Haiu Reneweu has steadily gron-if in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness to every quarter of the globs. Its unparal¬ leled success can be attributed to hut one cause: the entire fulfilment of iitpromtses. The proprietors have oftoii been surprised at the receipt of orders frsm remote coun¬ tries, where thoy had never uade an eifortfor its introduction. The ose for a short Urns of Hall’s Haik Kexewek wonderfully improves ths per¬ sonal appearmoe. It cleanses the scalp front all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevent* baldness. It stimulates the weakened glands, and enable* them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are net transient, like those of alcoholic prepara¬ tions, but remain a long time, which makes its use a matter of economy.
