I For several days past Fonda has been receiving a visit from two former residents whom this town may be proud to own. We refer to Harvey A. Cook, of Harlem, Ga., and Airs. Maria E. Nickerson, of Athens, Ga. Mrs. Nickerson is a sister of Mr. Cook and her husband is one of the best' known and most influential citizens of i Athens—one of the most flourishing ; of southern cities. Mr, Cook was the : first settler in what is now Harlem ' Ga. Ten years ago it was a deusly wooded country. He located a saw j mill and a home. At last through ■ his influence a charter was granted for the village of Harlem and he wisely had the proviso embodied in the charter “that no spirituous liquor should ever be sold in the place.” The village grew and to-day it has fine schools, several churches, num erous stores, a tine newspaper and and plenty of railway facilities, etc., It has 800 inhabitants and of the buildings Mr. Cook owns over 40. When he visited Augusta a few days ago he overheard some one remark to a friend, “There goes a man who own half of Harlem” and it is a fact.—Canajoharie (N. Y) Courier. “Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.” HARLEM,GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 2«. ISSG. Drugs and Fanry Groceries. We take special pleasure in calling attention to the announcement of Dr. D. L.

Camp Meeting- The annual camp meeting at grand old White Oak, convened on last Thursday and concluded yesterday morning. These annual reunions are looked forward to with pleasure, re ligiously and socially from year to year, and all seem to enter into them with the right spirit and everything usually passes off with pronounced credit to all. The meeting just closed was largely attended and we are in formed all the tents were occupied and ample provision made to take care of the immense concourse who generally attend this God favored spot. The best order prevailed and great credit is due the management. Great interest was manifested in the meeting and we sincerely hope good and lasting impressions were made. Adjoining counties were well repre sented, particularly Richmond county, more especially that part of it upon which the city of Augusta stands. Quite a number of Augustas most substantial business men were there, we opine on a two fold mission and perhaps some on a three fold one. Our town furnished quite a large delegation, principally her lovely and accomplished young ladies and noble young men. It was a feast lor us, at these meeting we meet so many whom we are glad to see, a great many of whom we see only at the camp meet ing. M’e deem it quite a privilege once a year to indulge in the hearty handshake and the friendly inter change of views on the general topics of the day. A Shooting- Scrape. MH. P. E. HOBBS SHOT BY MR. 8. E. KELLY. . We are informed that on last Satur day evening a difficulty occurred be tween Messrs. S. E. Kelly and P. E. Hobbs in which the former shot the latter. The circumstances seems to have been about as followers: Last week Mr. Hobbs carried some cattle to Augusta, and through mistake took a calf belonging to Mr. Kelley. On re turning home from the city be re ceived a note from Mr. Kelley relative to the matter, whereupon Mr. Hobbs after satisfying himself of the mistake which occurred in taking the cattle from the pasture, in which both of the gentlemen hail cattle, proposed to settle the matter by paying Mr. K. whatever was right. Pending the time Mr. Hobbs’ father-in-law came forward aud paid the amount of $lO to Mr. K. On Saturday morning it seems that Mr. Hobbs made some remarks about Mr. Kelley taking advantage of him in extorting such a large price for the calf, which Mr. K. heard of and in the evening he made an attack on Mr. H., who at the time was unarmed. Mr. Kelley fired one shot at Mr. H. which took effect in his left side just above hip causing a painful but not serious wound. At this juncture they were separated. Up to this writing Mr. Hobbs is reported to be doing as well as the circumstances will admit. I'lirisliuii Spirit. The Sentinel was present on Tues ; day afternoon last at White Oak camp meeting and heard a certain 1 minister of the Gospel from Augusta assail the Episcopal Church in a man ner very unbecoming a Christ inn, j stating that the religion of the Epis- I copalian consists in forms and cere mony, and all that is necessary to be . come a full fledged member and com municant is to be able to repeat the Apostles creed, the Lord's prayer and the Commandments. This assault took place at a private tent during the I afternoon services A service he ! should have taken part in, because it . was his duty but not so, ho remained I nt the tent and gave vent to his spleen, us regards the Episcopal religion very ! free’y. We are disposed to throw the I mamle of charily around him and say I that his church is somewhat to blame j for this onslaught, from the fact it | has not permitted him to leave hi« j work and spend at least the month of August in some resort in the moun tains of Virginia or North Carolina. He Ims a malarial appearance and wo would suggest a vacation. Evolution. Eiuto. s Sentinel: I noticed an article in lhe Evening News headed Dr. Woodrow not. guilty, alter a two days investigation by the Augusta Presbytery, which held its session nt the old Bethany Church, in Greene county, Ga. It states that lie lias been adjudged not guilty of the charge of teaching dangerous error, in that, ho held that the hypothesis of evolution was probably true, mid certainly not inconsistent with the Bible. I am sorry to know that the article expressed sympathy with any such person who will advocate the Darwinian theory of the evolution of man by generation and descent from the lower animals, as the true theory 'of the origin of the human race. lam glad to know that D . Wm Aduh.s, of Augusta, who is prosecuting the case, has given notice of an appeal to the Presbyterian Synod, and hope that body will never stop until lie is excommunicated from the church, as all such men have no business in the church of God. I do not intend to enter into n discussion of the subject of evolution, for I have no patience with any such foolish and nonsensical inconsisten cies and impossibilities. I prefer to believe in the theory of the origin of the human race as taught in the first and second chapters of Genesis. I prefer to believe that I am a descendant from Adam mid Eve, as certainly I have the word of God to sustain me in that belief, ami further more I prefer to believe that I descen ded from Adam, whom the Bible says was made in the image and likeness of God. I rejoice to know that Inm a descendant from a pair of the most beautiful creatures that ever graced the world, yes, beautiful in person, and character, and lovely and perfect in form and pure and holy as God, in their origin and original state. I believe by sin they disfigured their pristine beauty and lost their first estate. 1 believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God, by whose death and ressurrection, we have eternal life. I believe the Bible to be true from lid to lid, yes,from Genesis to Revela tion. I believe it to be the word of God, mid as proof of that fact it has withstood the attacks of infidels and wicked men throughout the world, and to-day its sacred pages shine as brightly with everlasting life as they did when first handed down from the hands of the inspired and holy men of God. Away with the idea of infidelity which says there is no God. no Christ, I no Heaven, no hell, and the Bible is! not an inspired work, which says that j men pass away like a dog and a | dumb animal. Away with Bob Ingersoll and his theory, as it will not stand the test when the world is wrajiped in flames. Now, if Dr. Woodrow aud bis advocates prefer to believe that they descended from monkeys, I say allow them to enjoy the idea, (but out of the church how ever,) 1 have serious doubts as to whether such men have ever been truly converted to God. I maintain where the impress of Jesus has been stamped upon the hearts of his people they will never go off' into Darwinianism, Woodrow ism or Beecherism, 1 contend that all such men are on the downward j track to perdition, and the sooner they blow on brakes ami backout, the 1 better for them. 1 am glad to know that the I’resby- I terian General Assembly which held j its session in Memphis Tenn., in May I la t, put iis foot down upon evolution , in the following manner: I "The Presbyterian General Assembly in its inquiry into evolution reached I the conclusion that it is dangerous | theory. The g od preachers are right. 1 A torch in n powder factory would not j be anymore dangerous than evolution in the Christian church. Its acceptance would invalidate the whole super structure of Christianity.” Now this is exactly my opinion of evolution m <1 its influence upon the Christian religion, and if tolerated would result in the overthrow of the church of God. But thanks be to God, that Ho is at the helm, and through the blood of Jesus Christ will guide his church safely and triumphantly through evolution and infidelity into the port of everlasting lite. Now, in conclusion, I will say, that for the good of the Christian religion that it would be better for Dr. Woodrow and all his advocates if they were buried one mile under ground, and the Stone Mountain put upon top of them, that they might never be resurrected.

Still the pen traces the Sluggard's life, seeking some worthy deed in his character. But lo! just about the anticipated time of worthiness to dovelope itself in the Sluggard’s life, we find him guilty of criminality, it was one of those lovely day s, when the third season had rolled herself just half into by-gone day s, hh the middle of that delightful month October. A day noted for its bright ness, when the sun nppearantly rejoicing in the distance, spreading wide his gleam y beams, imparting his noble warmth to the great bosom of lands, while the fading straw colored leaves were being gnawed from their original home, by the “insatiate tooth of time,” then the center of gravitation bid them in flocks fall, to clothe the earth with a greater fertility for future vegetation, the streets crowed with Worry persons giving happy greets to each ami all of the early morn, the same day, the same place made visible the sad action of criminality. The boys always tookjgreat delight in tantalizing Torpiditas in regard to Ins awful laziness, and would even impose on the poor creature. Though the reader may suppose that he was not to bo pitied. Torpiditas was by some one of the boys nick-named Slug, which he neither appreciated nor admired in the least. Now during this beautiful day a crowd collected around Slug, (us I will have to be in fashion now and bold to his nick name also) for the purpose of bur lesquing him in regard to his laziness, upon which point he was exceedingly sensitive. While all were having their own sport out of Slug. John Sum mers, the Summerville fop, stepped foward to Slug, handed him a fine revolver saying, there is no harm in old Slug, now you old coward I’ll step off and let you have a fair crack at me, that you might take revenge out of me for the crowd, so off John went, and turned up to old Slug, shouting blaze away old coward. Sure enough Slug was overcome with anger, and he tore loose upon the ostentatious chap, planting a ball in his left side, ami bringing him to the sand. The whole town was thrown into a terrible < xcitement about Slag’s misbehavior. Slug's energy now was reared to a considerable high pitch in making bis escape. So off for the woods and swamps to hold company with the bugs and snakes, and to seclude himself from his persons, so he suecee -ed and located himself on a branch of South Edisto, with nice ripening corn near the swamp. Several days had elapsed and Slug had nothing to eat, aud therefore became extremly hungry. He could not venture too near town as he had scarcely no friends, and those whom he considered Best friends he could not rely on. He soon realized the condition of his atom ache, finding the anterior abdominal regions were in the very act of adhering to the vertical column, he had to devise some means of support. He for- Terms, $1 A Year, In Advance. tumitely had a box of matches in his lelt coat pocket, happily thinking of them lie determined to’ slvly visit the iiriraAeM and pluck a few ears theredC Now when he bad succeed- Icd in Obtaining bis corn, he deter mined to catch himself a large fish to | have a nice c< rn rousting and fishfry for his first forest dinner He could not imagine bow to catch a fish, so utter u long spell of meditation he concluded to cut a small grajie vino mid tie a bent pin on the end of it for a hook, well bait it and hurl it I forth u t /on the stream, The white bait gradually sunk, and soon a large I trout seized Slug's hook, who quickly brought him ashore. By this time Slug was awfully hungry, so out he proceeded burdened with his great troubles, and taking his corn and trout roust in the hot ashes. Soon he reached u small Island culled Indigo Is and, floating with dry waving broom straw about 5 or 6 feet high and occasioua ly a large beechtree.' He then hud bis fish ready for (be ashes, the place selected lieueath one of those gigantic Leeches, where sprung bis bright fire with its glow mg flumes. He nipped his eorn ami fish together in the ashes and then Stepped inside when he reclined his hungerd body, mid his weary head, where he soon slumbered in the strong embrace of Morpheus. A warrant had been previously taken tor Air. Squezeephantom, and a squad appointed for bis arrest. They know not exactly where to begin their search but during Slug's nap, the fire began to rage, and its great smoke plainly visible by the people of Summerville they h tt. for the island, us everybody knew all persons were prohibited from trespassing upon the lands of Indigo, suppositions immedeately past o’er the minds of the persons that there luid the old Slug neur the fire, so well armed, off they flew in" e.irch of the criminal, the sheriffw*th his band reached the island, so they divid ed. some wont one way while some another. The old barbarian sheriff soon reached the spot where ho rejoiced in finding Torpiditas hard snoring. He then drew from his buck coat pocket two large weighty hud cuff's, and after having securely fastened them ho waked his prisoner, who knew not what to say, what to do* orMiere to look. The sheriff bid him man )> just ahead of him. Slug being awfully, umj even destressingly hungry begged the sheriff to please give him a piece of biscuit, the sheriff having ulljadvantago of Klug, instead gave him a bard kick ordering him on, usd guve the signal for his party to withdraw from the swamps us he hud captured the prisoner. The sun waa setting fur in the West behind heavy black clouds, and all the skies were darkened by stormy scenes, th» ele ments nppearantly in violent commo tion Soon al read e I ofine dwelling of II very wealthy farmer. Now the cruelty of the guard was to be plainly seen, they tied poor Slug to ri huge post ami tied him up so high thut be was standing upon the tips of his toes, with the blood dripping from his raw wrists where the tight handcuff bound him. The former desired to take him in to tea, but the guard refused to permit such kind treat ment to their prisoner. They made him do low down acts with n promise of release, and ns soon us he would respond to their commands, they would ridicule him with scorn. Here comes the tierce storm, with its lion like wind with its bombarding thun <lt r in deafning noise with its lightning flushing from Heaven to earth, and the rain falling in awful torrents, vith the pour prisoner enduring it all, a perishing soul and body. Slug now gave himself to n higher power, and end avored to km el in prayer,Jbut his hightied cuffs would not permit So in an erect attitude lie looked with a true heart to the great Johovah beg ging for some pitying person to sympathize, and comfort him with even a small morsel of food.
