Ballard & Atkinson, Proprietors. The following correspondence of greatjnterest to all: St. Louis, March 3,1886. SfeeHiK, Barrett * Co., Augiwta, Ga. Dear Sira- I feel it my dnty to the public generally to pubhali i»y experience with your most valuable preparation, H. H. V. I wan suffering a great deal with biliousness and dyspepsia and felt terribly. I was going to be married in a few days, and was at a loss what to do, as I was generally depressed. I fortuna tely met Mr Neat Heggie on the streets of St. Louis, when he gave me a bottle ot H. 11- I . It acted like a charm, and in three days I was ■perfectly relieved. So pleased was I with the effects f bought a dozen bottles, and for the sum us 55 spent I received tell fold returns. Yours truly, Thomas G. Bsovkf.. The above is forcibly illustrated by the following private letter to Mr. Sr. Louis, March 3, 1886. Dear Newt—How I can ever thank yon sufficiently for your recommendation of H. H. p I do not know, but rest assured I feel under many obligations. After my wife and I return ed from our bridal tour nothing would do Sally but to have her mother live with us. She came, and from the first began quarreling with the cook, the butter, house girl and all, and in fact raising a row about everything. Nothing could please her. The tea was too strong or too weak. When we had pie she want ed pudding. At last patience ceased to be a virtue, and, being strongly under the impress ing she was crazy, I sent for Dr. J.— —. He after a careful diagnosis ofher case, said she •was suffering from biliousness and torpid liver. 1 then saw at last peace and happiness in view. I induced her to take H. 11. P. Even the first dose made a marvelous change, and after having used two hotties, “mirabli dictu,” she has become the nicest old lady in the land. If 1 had not fortunately met you on the street I fear that ere this 1 would have been a lunatic. My advice to you is, if you ever get married, and to all other voting couples, is to lay in a few bottles of 11. H. P. With kind regards, I am vour friend, Tom. B.— The neighbors are surprised at the great change in my mother-in-law. Tell the proprietors of H. H.’P. that when I tell them the cause they will have to enlarge their busi ness. Send inc one dozen by express. Forsalebyall Druggists at 50 cents a bottle. Try it once and you will be pleased. Read and be con vinced. What Maj. Wilkins Has to Say: Mr. W. 11.

Harkin vs. tirovotowa- In the second game between the above named towns the foimer met a crushing defeat at the hands and on the grounds of the latter. Both dubs played well, more especially do we speak in commendation of the battery work. It was next to impossible to play to any advantage in the field, be cause of the bad condition of the grounds. Later it will bo put in bet ter fix. However, there were some brilliant plays made, better than could be reasonably expected when we take into consideration the fact that the diamond and field are composed of a freshly cleared new ground ami a re c< ntly ditched frog pond. A little work and small outlay of money will make it first-class. Another good fea ture, it is so convenient, being located in the center of the business portion of the town. Bundling hith is some times the turning point in the game, but not ho in the case of the Bunch hit in center field It was the most laughable play nuule. Collins on Ist and Langston oil 3rd played hand somely. The same is true of Norvell and Spires. Grovetown did her whole duty and deserves praise upon the elegant manner in which shu en tertained the visiting dub Quite a number of the. fair oil's turned out to witness the game and cheer the boys of our sister city on to victory. Wo acknowledge that we were beaten fair ly and squarely and hope soon to have an opportunity to administer to them a second crushing snow under. ,1,1 ■ n - ■' - ■ —— The Issue. Editors Sentinel: In your issue of the (ith instant I notice a suggestion from George M. Lazenby to the voters of Columbia county. He states that the stock law may be an issue in our next election for representative, and after careful thought lias studied a satisfactory remedy, to have each voter write on the back of his ballot, for or against repeal, the representative to be con troled accordingly. I will also make a suggestion to the candidates: In order to obviate the trouble to the voters, why not the candidates come out, and let the peo ple know the line of policy they ad vocate on all questions they deem vi tal ones ? As lor myself, I prefer to have an expression of their views, in order that 1 may determine whether or not they are in accordance with my own. On general principles I prefer to support a man who expresses my own views than one that does not. If he favors a repeal of a law of any character I think it possible he could argue with more force; if against re peal I doubt whether he could use that zeal as he might otherwise. I don’t believe in “holding the hare and running with the hounds.” I exjiect to cust rny ballot for the candidate that does not straddle the fence, but one who has independence enough to corne out it. the face of success or de feat. Surely this ought to be satis factory to them. Voter. Terms, $1 A Year, In Advance. Crown Point. BY IL 8. Crops are looking well, considering' the late spring. Some few are not yet through planting.

The heavy gala that passed through this section on last Saturday was very severe, though it did but little dam age considering its severity. Weleurn that it demolished two houses on the Bradshaw plantation, and scattered fence rails generally. A Card. To My Friends and Publir. After serious and deliberate reflec tion, I have decided to be no longer a candidate. 1 tried public life a short while in my younger days, was satisfied then, that it did not suit one of my tern i erament. From thnt time to the present I huvo been content to live a private citizen. The solicit!« tion to become a cumiidate, coming in the maner it did, caused me to act against my judgment, but consented reluctantly and have not been satisfied since. Knowing full well that it was my paramount duty to remain with and provide for my motherless daughters, who need all the fatherly care that lam capable of bestowing. Knowing my duty I dare not do it. To those of my friends who sought to honor mo, you have my sincere heart fe t thanks. In the matter of the suggestion published in the Sentinel of the 6th inst., over my signature, upon u care ful reading, I grant, admits of more than one construction, but I assure the public, that I hud but one motive in view and that was to conciliate the manifest feeling of the public mind and to avert an issue. If in this I have done injustice to any one, I stand ready, as far as in my power to make amend. Very respectfully, Geo. M. Lazemby. May 18th, 1886. SystcMiiatlc Suicide. Evening News: The suicide of Mr. Traugut Ihle last, afternoon was one of the most methodical and systemat ic on record. He left his house in Harrisburg, near the river, tied bis body to a limb of a tree with a long rope, hung his hat on his cane, which he stuck in the ground, and then deliteratcly jumped into the river and drowned himself. The suicide was unobserved, bnt when some children late in the after noon found the hat and stick and observed the rope, and when after calling for aid the dead man was dragged out of the river, the facts were patent at a glance. The un fortunate man had been a great sufferer from a cancer in his mouth, and in despondency he deliberately suicided. The Coroner’s inquest was in accord with these facts. Mr. Ihle has been a good citizen and has been very comfortable in business affairs. He owned his home and has raised a family, and much sympathy is felt for them. He was buried this afternoon from his resi dence in Harrisburg, VOL IV, NO. 34.
