Pitts’ Carminative has been use
during the summer months for flatu

than thirty years. During that time
it has not resulted in a single failure
when the case was begun in time.
Moreover babies' who have taken
Pitt’s Carminative are always fat and
healthy. Why is this ? Ist. Because
it is pleasant to the taste and the
children will not refuse it. 2nd. It
promotes digestion and the child is
not weakened by drain from stomach
and bowels. 3rd. It corrects all acids
and keeps the stomach healthy.

Too Bad.
Regularly once a month an aged
and infirm minister of the gospel
comes to Harlem and it is too bad
that as a general rule no one of his
“flock” has enough consideration for
him to meet the train assist him with
his baggage, bid him welcome and as
sign him quarters during his stay.—
There is no disrespect intended evi
dently, only thoughtlessness, but this
state of affairs should exist no longer
and there should be a delegation of at
least one to look after this matter
every month.
Should be Punished.
Any person who is so devoid of the
milk of human kindness in his miser
able make up, as to place indiscrimi
nately around, strychnine, thereby
killing valuable and entirely harmless
dogs, should with reasonable grounds
of suspicion, be arrested and tried,
and if found guilty, be punished as
the law directs and to the fullest ex
tent. There is some reason and com
mon sense in poisoning an egg in or
der to catch a dog that belongs to
that class commonly ca’led “suck egg
dogs,” or in poisoning a piece of mut
ton to catch that other class, denomi
nated “sheep killing dogs ” But we

cSu't conceive of how any one could
get their consent to poison bread and
throw it around ge erally. In our
judgment it would be well for parties
interested to look into this matter of
wholesale poisoning.
SRJTIYEL SIFTHCS-
BY C. K. A.
The gardens in Harlem have suffer
ed very materially from dry weather,
but the recent showers have done a
great deal of good.
Tieing cattle out to graze is now .
the order of the day with some of our
citizens ; showing conclusively that
there is more to get on the outside
than the inside.
The blackberry crop is just coming
iu and everybody is rejoicing at the
idea oi having a fine blackberry pie.
Considerable sickness reported
throughout the county just at this time.
A young man four miles from Har
lem has quite a show in the way of
pets. He has three crows, a squirrel
and a white rat.
Some men will bang them
selves if you will give them plenty of
rope. Do you understand?
Some men make their own winding
sheet, and never discover their peril
ous condition until they are let down
in the grave and the dirt is being
shoveled in on them.
Spring chickens are coming into
market and are bringing prices that
only a Congressman can stand.
The plum crop this year came
near being a failure. It was our
privilege to visit several plum nur
series recently, but found very few of
this delicious fruit, either ripe or
green.
We hear it intimated that the
Sentinel will offer a premium for the
biggest snake story this season.—
Correspondents whet up your pencils
and sail in.
The Grovetown correspondent lias
been in the habit heretofore of taking
occasion to act the part of the critic
and this time he has made a thrust at
us and conjectures that our blackeye
came from too much talk, but not so,
it came from a different source, but
should the said black eye have been
on our friend’s face, we should have
known at once it was on account of
too free use of the tongue, for he
possesses enough gas to inflate a
good size balloon.

A PRACTICAL JOKE WITH A TRAGIC END.
A Nashville special says : A most |
remarkable suicide occurred in Burge |
A Roscoe’s drug store in East Nash
ville to-night. This afternoon, John
G. Bernal, an old man, a painter by
trade and very much addicted to jok !
ing, came in the drug store, and go |
ing back where George Donelson, a
clerk, was putting up medicine, said
“George, lam tired of living. What i
will kill me ?”
Donelson, whojwos measuring aeon-|
ite, said:
“Here’s something that will kill you
mighty quick; aconite, if you just
drink enough.” ,
“All right,” said Bernal; “get me
something to drink it out of.”
Donelson poured out an ounce
graduate full and said :
“All right; here she is.”
He did not notice Bernal, who took
it up and drank it. Donelson, look
ing up a moment later and seeing the
empty glass, said :
“My God ! Did you drink that ?"
“Yes,” said Bernal.
“Then you’ll die,” said Donelson,
and be rushed off for help. Six or
seven physicians were summoned and
did all they could, but it was too late.
Bernal said he had no idea of killing
himself, and no idea that the glass
contained poison. His wife and
grown hi ns were also called, and were
with him when he died. Donelson is
much depressed and claims that he
| knew the old man was joking, but
thought he would not drink the poison
after being told what it was. Bernal
was about sixty years old ami big ly
thought of by everybody—always jok
ing with his friends and always full of
good humor.

Mr. Millard Morris, who lives a
few miles from Appling killed in his
kitchen hearth a few days ago a very
large snake of the conch-whip species, I
which measured six feet. The good
lady of the house, ’tis said, remem
bering the sentence passed in the
garden of Eden, though the venom
ous reptile was already dead, got n
stick and proceeded to bruise tno
serpent’s head.
A perfect sand storm on Tuesday
evening, though no serious damage
done.
We have had some of the hardest
rains of the season this week, accom
panied by keen lightning and loud
thunder.
The crop outlook is very good so
for.
Our genial friend, C. M. Hill, paid
Atlanta a short visit Tuesday.
. Friend F. D. Gray, of Appling,
was in town on Wednesday cu route
for Augusta. Frank is a favorite iu
Grovetown and is always welcome.
Mr. Willie Fisk ami charming
bride Hpent Sunday last with rela
tives here.
Miss Mamie Sims, one of Augusta’s
most attractive young ladies; honor
ed Grovetown with a very pleasant I
visit Sunday last the guest of Miss
Mamie Smith.
This epitaph was written by a par
ty from Augusta of which J. M. Ber
ry, J. Jones Gardiner and families
formed a part, and placed over the
iron spring: “Salubrious and glorious
Grovetown, we have fallen dead in
love with thee.”
I learn from a private source that
friend C. E A., of the Sentinel corps,
has a black eye. I wonder if it is the
fruit of big talk ?
A venerable batch, of 30 summers
who has been unfortunate for lo
these many years, has turned over a
new leaf and sings that old and pa
thetic song: “I’m nobody's darling on
earth,” by which ho hopes to gain
sympathy. I hope be will succeed.
On Saturday last the Methodist S
S ami friends, accordihg to previous
arrangement, met at the iron spring
to have their annual picnic. The day
was bright and beautiful, ami even
the bobolin seemed to warble his
notes of welcome. At an early hour I
he crowd began to gather ami con- i
tinued until the dinner hour arrived. I
The young people amused themselves I
by frolic, social chat and swinging in
the excellent swing made by Master
Cap Blount for the occasion. When
the dinner hour arrived the hospitali
ty of the good ladies of Grovetown
was made manifest by the well filled j
baskets, which were numerous. There i
was enough left, we are confident, to [
have fed another such crowd. Every
one seemed to enjoy themsel res!
splendidly, ami Tom, “the dumpling ;
spinner, ’’ as usual, filled his pockels '
with cake lor our supper and had he
divided with me, I wouldn't have j
[ given him away. We had ice cold .
lemonade by the tubfull free. The
, next pic i ic is looked forward to with
, great anxiety.
The country editor will have to
drink sassafras tea now, as coffee has
gone for beyond the reach of his
pocket book. _

UEPARTI RE OF HOOVER,
THE ANARCHIST Foil IIOJIK.
Madison, Ga., May 30.
Editors Evening News: Hoover,
the anarchist left Madison on Satur
day Inst, it is thought for his former
home, Hickory, N. C.
Regarding his wife, I have not any
thing to say, with the exception that
the very thin tale of romance that
hns been woven around her does not
appear to bo supported by facts.
As to Hoover the truth remains
Hint ho is a dangerous man, a deep
dyed villain, whose principles and
murderous doctrines if Huccessiully
carried out would overthrow the gov
ernment mid cause endless strife, tur
moil mid revolution.
Our people were willing that he
should remain here until his wounds
were sufficiently healed for him to
tiavcl. But when it was known that
ho was going to repay our kindness
by base ingratitude, and that with re
stored health he intended to carryout
his hellish work in Morgan, a commit
tee waited upon him on Saturday and
in a very few words informed him he
must leave on the 3 o'clock up train.
Hoover, remembering his last visit to
Atlanta, where Lo was ordered to
leave the town in an hour or be hung
on the public bridge, strongly objeit
ed making another trip to the Gate
City. The committee, however, were
determined that the pence and fair
fame of old Morgan should not be
jeopardized through the seditious
teachings of this man. Whether be
went through to Atlanta, and thence
to his home, ns he stated ho would
do, we do not know.
