Harlem Happenings
WHAT IS BEING DONE IN AND
AROUND HARLEM.
SQUIBS CAUGHT ON THE FLY BY SENTINEL
REPORTERS——NEWS OF THE COUNTY CON-
SENSED.
—The sweet potato crop is large
this year.
—Cotton is rolling into our town
at a rapid rate.
—A good secohd-hand piano for
sale very cheap. Apply to H. A.
Cook.
—The crowded state of our col
umns accounts for the small amount
of local matter this week.
—Old hundred is a popular game
with some of our citizens- J. W.
Me. is the champion.
—The lazy club of Harlem at a re
cent meeting fined one of its mem
bers ten cents for rolling a wheelbar
row.
—Good Heavens! Says the wood
cock, such good goods, and low
prices at Dr. Peeples' I never saw be
fore.
—As Jeanie Deans once said in her
memorable address to the Queen; “It
is not what we have done for our
selves, but what we have done for
others that we think on most pleasant
ly.” Realize this pure pleasure by
recommending White’s Cream Vermi
fuge, the best worm medicine ever
prepared. It means Death to worms,
health to children.
—The protracted meeting at the
Baptist Church closed last Sunday
night.
—The butter makers took in their
sign a few days ago and quit specie
payment. We are unable to learn
the liabilities and asscssts of the firm.
—The chicken crop is very slim
just now. We suppose the good old
sisters are holding back their frying
size for the Association, which con
venes at this place next month.
—ln mansions, in wretched
tenement houses, in frontier shanties
in the mines, we hear commendatory
words of Table’rs Buckeye Pile Oint
ment because it is a never failing
remedy for piles. You have no one
to blame but yourself if atllicted with
piles, you sit sighing in the chimney
corne when a bottle of Tabler’s Buck
eye Pile Ointment would give re
lief.
—No medicine placed before the
public for so short a time has been
more generally praised than Pitt’s
Carminative. It has been truthfully
called a panacea for diseases of the
stomach and bowels. When you have
tried it you will be convinced. Sold
by your Druggists.
Many a person is starving with a full
table before them. Appetite gone! Am
bition gone! Life a burden II What is
the matter? The Liver has ceased to
do its proper work. The life channel
are clogged. Poisonous fluids are
thrown back into the blood, which
should be thrown out. SMITH’S BILE
BEANS will surely stimulate the live,
to do its work well, and headache, sal
lowness and bad breath will Hee away.

A Sad Death.
The happy home of Prof, and Mrs.
Ware was made sad last week by the
death of their infant daughter, which
occurred at Gibson, Ga. Her re
mains were interred at the residence
of Mr. W. L. Benton on Sunday
evening last. We tender to the grief
stricken father and mother, together
with relatives and friends, our heart
felt condolence in this hour of afflic
tion.
Death of an Estimable Lady.
We are pained to chronicle the
death of Mrs. M. E. Sims, which oc
curred at the residence of Mr. W. L.
Benton, on the Bth inst. She was
well known and highly esteemed
throughout this county. Her life was
marked by all who knew her, as ex
emplifying those exalted characteris
tics of a devoted Christian. For
many years she was a member of Old
Union Church, and when the decisive
hour was reached passed away in the
full triumphs of the Christian’s faith.
To the bereaved relatives and friends
we tender our heartfelt sympathies in
this sad affliction.
PUT THE BILL IN MOTION-
A Sood Suggestion (oneerning the Hotel-
Editols Sentinel:
It seems to me we are letting the
grandest enterprise ever commenced
jin our town die out. 1 have consult
ed a number of our young men, and
without an exception they all otter to
contribute to the hotel enterprise
liberally, some to the half of their
property. Certainly, with some of
our most enterprising citizens at the
helm, we could steer our hotel
scheme safely to completion.
Suppose we suggest some way by
which we may put the “ball in mo
tion:" First, call a meeting of all the
citizens of Harlem, say Friday, 24th
inst, at 7 o'clock p. m., at the academy
for the purpose of discussing this sub
ject. Certainly no citizen of this
place who has the advancement of
Harlem at heart would refuse to turn
out. Second. Place at the most pub
lic places blank lists for subscriptions.
This is a means by which we could
estimate the financial strength of the
community, I think it useless to
discuss the possibilities of its paying.
That seems to me to be a dead issue.
No business man would doubt that
point who would take the trouble to
go back a few years and see how
many boarders were turned oft' be
cause Harlem could not accommodate
them. I would like to say I am
thoroughly iu sympathy with any
honorable means looking to the
speedy erection of a hotel, so much
so as to “plank down” us much cash
as my means can possibly afford.
A few figures will astonish you how
easy it can be built: 200 giving SIOO
will raise the amount. 0.,e man has
offered to double the largest sub
scription. Another has offered SI,OOO.
Second man doubled aggregates
$3,000. You see 30 men’s shares
have been taken by two men. Call
your meeting and let’s have a hotel.
CrrizEN.
—Do not put off until to-morrow
that which should be done t-day.
Especially iu matters pertaining to
health procrastination is dangerous.
If your children show symptoms of
worms, rid them of these intolerable
pests by using White’s Cream Vermi
fuge and note the happy effect. The
worms will follow and your child
experience a speedy relief. Your
verdict will be there is no other
remedy like this.
Nervous Debilitated Sufferers-
From early Indiscretions, Excesses,
&c. If you will send me your name
and address, I will send you by return
mail a treatise on the cause and cure
of nervous exhaustion, lost manhood,
loss of memory, dimness of vision, and
all other symptoms arising from self
abuse, overwork or study. Neglect,
causes of insanity and early death.—

Appling Notes.
BY QUIZ.
Cotton picking is on a Ixiom.
Rain is very badly needed at this
writing.
Saturday and Sunday last would
have passed for July dajs.
We sympathize deeply with Mr.
and Mrs. J. S. Morris, whose little son
got bis lag broken by a fall from a
wagon Saturday last.
The window blinds of the Court
House are being repainted by Mr.
W. R. Malone, which adds greatly to
its appearance.
Mr. James Kelley, the eldest son of
Mr. John Kelley, got into a difficulty
with a negro by the name of Steve
Harris on Tuesday of last week, when
the latter struck the former on the
back of the head with a rock. The
woun j is very painful, though we are
glad to learn he is improving.
The Appling Sunday School has
been reorganized in the court house, i
with Mrs. E. Bugg superintendent and
Mr. B. M. Crawford assistant. Thir
teen names are enrolled. Appling is
in great need of a Sabbath School,
but in our humble opinion the church
is the place for it, but if any good
can be accomplished we simply say
roll the old chariot along.
To Rent
Two fields, both partly within the
limits of Harlem, known as the Powell
A Har.ly and the Murray fields, 27
bales of cotton were made on the
former last year. Apply at this office.

BY LEON.
The cotton crop will doubtless
| yield more than was expected. The
I corn crop is very good throughout
. the county.
Forty-one members have been add
ed to the church at Mt. Lebanon.
Thirty were baptized in one day by
Rev. O. W. Newman.
Mr. Q. Skrine, of Bath, died on
the sth, after a protracted illness of
I several months. He had his vault
built in the Bath cemetery in Juno of
this year at a cost of $15(1.
The shaking of the earth seems to
have had a wonderful effect upon the
people generally everywhere. Some
of our most profane swearers have
joined the church and confessed reli
gion, but ns to whether or not they
will hold out faithful we are unable
to say. Man’s heart is so apt to cry
unto the Most High when trouble
comes, but when it subsides and all
becomes calm and serene how quick
ly wo forget; but this is something
that should never bo effaced from our
memory, for with just such fear ami
trembling and quaking will we be
hurled from the presence of our God
if we continue iu sin.

A CARD
Editor* Rknttnel :
Having this day withdrawn my suit again*!
the Georgia Kailroad, please allow mo space in
your columns to explain how the accident oc
curred, also, to give my reanons, first, fur
bringing, and then withdrawing the suit.
Am my little boy Hterling was going down
the street near the residence of Mr.
ho met a handcar heavily loaded with crosa
ticK passing slowly up the Georgia Kailroad,
bevcral of the section hands were behind,
pushing. Htcrling, boy like, not realizing any
danger, fell in with them, also pushing. Tho
men knew tho danger to w-'nehho was exposed,
but they did not warn him, nor did they tell
him to go away. Leaving tho rear of the car
he went round to tho side still pushing and
blowing a whistle. Tho men heard the whistle .
and saw hiw danger, but still they rained no .
voice of warning, i rom the vide ho wont
round to the and putting his bands up on
the cross tics began to pull,walking backward*.
At thin juncture, the section boss, Mr. Alford,
who was Home distance up the track, naw him '
and called to him to get away. This is what
Mr. Alfred says, but Htcrling and two eye
witnesses all declare that Mr. Alfred did not
call to him. If Mr. Alfred did call, the noiee
of the car might have prevented their hearing
him. About thia time tho croHM tiee fell, atrik«
ing the boy to the ground, terribly bruiaing
and Hligbtly fracturing the akull and render
inu him for a time innenMible.
From the foregoing Mtatofiienta any candid
person will readily moo that the employee* of
tho road were criminally earth en.
Now in view of theno factn, 1 thought, and
nt ill think, that 1 had a moral, and my legtl
advinern nay, I have a legal right to bring thin
nnit. Han u preacher different or lent rights
than other people ?
In bringing thin nuit I did not dream that
any individual or employee of tho Georgia
Railroad, (except Mr. Alfred and bin handn,
perhapn) would take the matter up and make
it a jm iKonai innue betwci n himneli and mo,
or that it would in anyway affect the prosperity
ot tho town or the nphitual welfare of the
church.
1 have not given up thia cane however, be
caune 1 am afraid to continue it. or becaune I
am in doubt km to tho tinal runult, but nolely in
the interent of peace.
Being the pantor of the Methodint Church
here, 1 would not intentionally upd for gain,
however junt my caunc might be, put rnynolf in
a ponition U> injure my unefulneM or wound
tho body of < hrint, which in hin Church. I
may omit to do much that Would tend to pro
mote the spiritual welfare of the Church and
advance the kingdom of Chrint among mon,but
I do not winh to do anything to hinder them.
1 had rather nuffur wrong than be the occanioD
of wrong, to surrender my legal rights rather
than in contending for them, to give the ad
versary aa “occaKion to speak reproachfully.**
To the Church I have given my life and for
her 1 am still willing to suffer tho loss of all
things. For further reasouM for rclinguinhing
