“MAYBE A SERMON—
MAYBE A SONG.”
I veal and Real—
I have just read a charming poem
about summer. It was a picture of
< col, daik woods through which the
occasional drowsy note of a bird
echoed; and of golden wheat fields rip
pled by breezes; and of cool streams;
and merry maidens crowned with flow
ers am iledat one from every line. But
that i- idealism. Here is the realism of
it. A flood of blinding yellow light that
seems to seek out and devour every
moistness; the streams even llow slug
gishly between banks of baked mud.
Dusty country roads flanked by crazy
old fences ami beyond these are fields
of corn and cotton, brown and shriv
elled. Along a road creeps it rickety
wagon with a forlorn trail of while
dust floating behind it; and the only
sound heard is the complaining creak
of its dry old wheels. And over all,
field, road, distant hill, ami gray old
homestead, quivers the waves of heat. ;
The earth is like a woman overtaken
in the prime of her youth and beauty
by some blighting .-orrow. This is the
desolation of summer.
Do yon ever think much about the
real and the unreal of things, anyway?
A man said to me the other (Jay: ‘‘The
truth itself isn’t true, you know.”
’1’11:11 sounds like rank heresy but I
think be meant that each of us have
our conception of the truth of a thing,
and tho-e c.inceptions differ widely but
they are surely the truth to the one
who holds them. No the forms of this
truth differ just so much as does the
individual. What then is the truth?
Any n'.itii will tell you what he thinks
the truth is, ami you will get an inter
esting or uninteresting, variety on one
subject, but what is the real of it? Il
seems that we avoid realities, except
those of evry day affairs, which force
themselves upon us and have to be
dealt w ith after some manner. But
the realities of sentiment and sensibil
ity are rarely let to show themselves
as (hey will.
Or do realities avoid us?
After all, what do we know, anyway?
All of life for ns is comprised within
the circle of our own eye. That which
we do not see or experience does not
exist for us. Beyond our own circle
of knowledge is a wild erness of thought
that is almost trackless to us, and
(hose to whom it is familiar see still
beyond it an ever widening prospect
of circles. Time is not the key that
unlocks these circles to us; it is sensi
bility. We do not live by years; heart
throbs mark our epochs. We are each
of us a small cat th 'into ourselves; a
boutu>i
gish atmosphere in which we lie pas- '
sively. Then a meteor flashes across
our pale sky, painting on it and us, ro
seate forms of beauty. Something has
happened to us, and though the heav
enly messenger flashes on into the in
finite unknown whence it came, we
cannot forget its splendor. We begin
to think and its train of sparks becomes
a golden thread which we follow into
eternity.
Such are the revelations of truth
from heaven. But too often we make
the mistake of thinking that sky rock
ets of our own manufacture are heav
enly ineteors. E. C.

Merritt, left last Friday for Cohuttah
where she will visit friends before re
turning home.
The oldest citizens say that they
have never before seen so a long spell
of such excessively hot weather as we
have had in the last two weeks. Crops
have been very materially damaged,
especially cotton and late corn. Some
good farmers place the damage to the
cotton crop at from one third to one
half, but it is hoped that it is not so
bad as that. Yet there caq be no
question but what the damage is great.

Col. R. T. Armstrong died at his

a prominent citizen and was the pro-'

G. W. Worsham writes from Erath
1 county, Texas, as follows: “Everything
is burning up here, as we have had no
rain since May 10. Corn is about dry
enough to gather and is almost a com
plete failure. The drouta is general.
Early cotton will make about one fourth
bale per acre, and late cotton may make
a fair yield if we get rain soon. There
is a great deal of travelling now; some
going east and some west in search of
a better place.”
Charley Bryant, oldest son of Dr.

sick eight or ten months, and while
he had the very best of medical atten
tion from noted physicians, in addition
to the skill and untiring watchfulness
of bis father, Dr. Bryant, he grew

the guests of Mrs. 11. B. Kirby for sev

tiest and most popular of the season’s
visitors, it is with genuine regret that
their friends here bid them goodby.
A writer in the Trion Echo concurs
in graceful and charming sentences,
with the junior editor’s idea of a “Sum
merville Swimmery Society; Something
in this Sweltering Summer Season, &s
As.” Our friend then suggests that we
organize a bathing club. It won’t do;
the club W’ould be too much of a stick.
The only good we can do in that line
is to form a missionry society and use
our influence to keep the civilization
they are getting from depriving the
Hottentots of going in swimming when
they like, with or without “frills.”
The attention of the public is called
to the notice in this issue of the reopen
ing of (he Summerville High school on
August 31st, and to remind our readers
that nowhere in the country can they
find better or more efficient teachers
for their children than Prof King and
Miss Mary Hemphill. Everybody who
can possibly do so ought to start their
children to school promptly on the day
of opening, thus giving the advantages
of an even start with other pupils.
There is no reason why we shouldn’t
have one of the most prosperous schools
in north Georgia at this place, and
could, if all our people would manifest
a proper degree of interest.

To the Public.
There ;.■> a report circulated
throughout the county that I did
not keep the books of my office but
1 other parties kept them for me and ,
that in order to make the requisite I
| bond when I was elected that I
gave a portion of the proceeds of
the office to get my bond made.
In answer to these accusations I
wish to say that no entries have
ever been made upon my books by
any one save myself and I hat
J never given one cent to any man
to go upon my bond. I have giv
en the office my personal attention
aud hope by such attention to
merit the support of the voters of
the county at the coming election.
R. E. Dorsett.
We are reliably informed that
it is circulated through this coun
ty that Mr. R. E. Dorsett, treasur
er, does not attend to his office,
and that he gives us a portion of
his commissions or salary to at
tend to the business by reason of
us having assisted on his bond.
Aside from our paying off orders
when he is not present for the ac
commodation of those who have
the claims, there is not one word
of truth in the rumor in any shape
or form.
Mr. Dorsett deposits all the
county money in our vault and
burglar proof safe and holds our
certificate of deposit for every cent
of it, and not one cent, do we
charge him, neither would we ac
cept a nickle from him. We have
known him from boyhood and
know him to be a gentleman in ev
ery respect, who has been unfortun
ate in losing a leg, and we are glad
to be able to aid him to make a
living, as we would any other Chat
tooga gentleman similarly situated;
Unless the three last Grand Ju
ries are mistaken, Mr. Dorsett is
fully competent and keeps his
books correctly, and we know that
have ever made one figure or wrote
one word in his books, but know
that h. k< ps them himself.

i standard nearer to represent the 42nd

The reason whj- Bro. C. C. Benne
rield was taken down and J. T. Weaver
■ put in his place was on account of
Bennefield not having been a citizen of
Georgia the length of time required bj’
law, he having been in Texas until
within the past twelve months. The
law requires that a man must have
‘ been a citizen of the state four years
to make him eligible for senator.
C. C. Bennefield says he will do all
in his power to help Weaver. Bro.
Weaver made a race a few years ago
for representative and run a very good
race for that time, for w’e were then
weak to what we are today and it now
behooves us to all come together as a
unit. J. Lee, Chm’n.

MENLO, GA,
After a months stay among the
good people of Menlo I can’t re
frain from saying something of
i them ai d their town before leaving
■it. I came here about the Ist of
July after a serious attack of fever
of four weeks, and could scarcely
board the train and today after
staying here four weeks, I feel bet
ter than in five years, with twenty
pounds added to my avoirdupois.
This is what-the bracing atmos
phere and hea ing waters have
done for me. I do wish this fa
mous water could be advertized to
the world for broken down
health, kidney trouble and indi
gestion, I don't think there could
be a water on earth to excel it and
I honestly believe the day is not
far distant when this will be one of ,
our greatest summer resorts. All
she needs is push and energy and I
a large amount of printers ink to 1
tell the world what a bonanza there '
is here for suffering humanity. I
have met quite a number since 1 I
have been here trying the virtues I
of this grand water and have yet to 1
see one that has n&t been greatly j
benefited by its use. I don’t see!
how a fellow ever gets sick here at
all unless he gets to lazy to go to
the spring, I never hear of any one
saying they are sick. It must be
tough on a doctor in this connnun- ;
ity;|enough about the water a word
about the people.
Such open handed, big hearted
hospitality that these people ex
tend to folks, the world cant beat
There is big hearted Welch, the
merenant; Story, the handsome
blacksmith; Gilbert, the dude;
Murphy that runs a watch foundry,
and many others that would choke
a fellow on kindness if it were pos
sible, and a word for the ladies—
how these boys can resist Cupid’s
little darts ’(is strange to me, for I
have been going to chucrch and
have had an opportunity of seeing
them nearly all, and I must say
that they are all just as nice and
pretty as a basket of ripe peaches.
It is with regret that I leave
them, as some of the happiest days
of my existence has been passed
amongst them.
Trusting that they will soon see
Menlo a great town and to enjoy
their hospitality again in the near
future, 1 shall have to bid them
adieu. Chas A. Johnson.

The Perennial Barbecue.
J Editor News: —It has never
. been my good fortune to attend a
• more pleasant, or well managed
barbecue than that at Perennial
on Saturday the 15 inst. Yet you
will not wonder when I tell you
that it was in charge of those two
clever and hospitable gentleman
H. V. Johnson and Walter Echols.
I These gentlemen had left nothing
| undone, and so all who were fortu
nate enough to be a guest enjoyed
themselves the utmost. There was
an abundance of every thing from
the best roasted meat, to the noblest
of God’s gifts, pretty women. Ino
longer wonder why W. L. Gamble
is so portly, and is always in such
an excellent humor —it is a verifi-
[ cation of the proverb, feed a man
I well etc; for his wife bakes the
j finest bread and cakes ever tasted.
The table was laid ’neath the
1 stately oaks that surround the
' pretty, bubbling spring at 11. V.
I Johnson’s, and I’m here to say (and
I
1 am a pretty good judge on this
I line) that a better table was never
I spread. Bro. Garrison was there
i and after he had invoked God’s
! blessing, we all did ample justice
to the good things set before us by
our hospitable friends.
Among those who provided the
feast, were our clever old friend
Richard Echols, W. D. Gilkerson,
Tuscan Ball, R. L. McWhorter, and
Mrs Silk. Those all brought their
families and well filled baskets, to
gether with some of the finest wa
termelons, peaches, and grapes,
that Georgia can raise. After din
ner wo spent several hours in
conversation and then turned our
faces homeward, all feeling better
for our days pleasure, (unless it
was some fellow who ato too much)
and thanking our friends for their
kindness.
Among tho invited guest were
John M. Hill, Atlanta; Dr. Jos.
Freeman, Alpine; Mr. Hurt, Fab
ius, Ala., and many others, includ
! ing your grateful correspondent,
B. L. Knox.

ience.
Charley Bryant was buried at
tho family grave yard at Mrs.
Wakely’s last Thursday tho 13.
He has been sick for a long time
and suffered terribly. God’s ways
are mysterious to us and past find
ing out why a young man should
be called to die so soon ; yet we
know that God doeth all things
for tho best. While their parents
mourn and weep for the young
man, yet he is doubtless happy to
day with Christ our Savior and
j they have another tie high up in
' heaven. May God temper their
i sorrow.
Bro. J. E. Barnard has a little
! child that is very sick and has been
; for some time. Bro. Barnard has
labored faithfully for the success
of the meeting although his child
lias been so sick. May the great
i physician heal his dear little child.

is the time that tries all the care

comfort comes from fat; fat:
babies have nothing to do but
to sleep and grow.
If your baby does not seem
to prosper, if he does not gain
in weight, you must get more
fat there. A few drops of

and the very best of style.
A. J. Lawrence informs your corres
pondent that everything has been sat-
■ isfactorily adjusted in regard to the
, proposed college for Menlo, aud that
work will be commenced on the build
. ing in the course of a month or two.
This is indeed gratifying news. Be
( sides the money it would place in cir
culation m the erection of the building
it would create a home market foi all
our produce, it would increase the
business of the merchants, lawyers,
doctors, in fact all classes and proses
sions would be benefltted by it. Not
only that but It would add to the value
of every foot of land within a radius
of many miles, and create a demand
for houses to accommodate its patrons.
' It would in no wise interfere or con
flict with the school we now have, and
1 should receive the approval and en
couragement of every citizen, not only
■ of this section, but of the entire coun
ty. The history of Anniston, Ala.,
. and other towns where such institu
tions have been established go to show
what such institutions will do for a
town. Our people should at all times
be willing and anxious to welcome
and render every encouragement to
all enterprises that will tend to the
' moral, educational or financial advance

In Memory.
On the night of July 25th. the
angel of death came to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Burns in
Trion and bore away the sweet
spirit of their little daughter, Ada,
aged nearly 7 four years. During
her brief existence she won many
hearts, for she was such a bright,
happy hearted little creature that
none knew her but to love her.
Her mission was that of an angel
of light, brightening our lives for
awhile and then going to heaven,
where she forms one more link in
the chain which draws us thither—
•■ One more link in the broken chain,
Another loved one gone;
Free from sorrow, cares and pain,
Beyond in the eternal home.”

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
' ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts —
rightly directed. Thera, is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
iised and gi ves most general satisfaction.
