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

Rockdale has never had a more
efficient tax-lieceiver than our clever
young friend Mr. W*. T. Huson. He

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

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¬

doing yourselves an injury and en¬
couraging these young men in their
vices.
Do not waste your money, and

We can speak for all that went to
the enteriainmeut that was given by
the Oakland Seminal v, on last \Y ed

every body went home in good spir

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¬

the little fiddler ?

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.

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.
