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.

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.— Address, T. W. Rice, 249 Fulton St,, Brooklyn, N. Y. 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. Reference. F. H. Powell and Oliver Hardy. Upper IMcmond. 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. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Ida H. Casey is at home again this week. Miss Zena Cook is at homo after a delightful stay of two weeks iu Atlanta.

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.
