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. Remember. The Literary Club will meet Fri day evening next at the residence of Prof. J. W. Ellington, on South Main street. All members are urgently re quested to be present. The pro gramme arranged for the last meeting will be carried out. 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 Don’t Buy Until you find out the new W&Uws Improve- WtaZ Save the Mgs Ki middleman’s PROFITS. «r«END FOB CATAIZXiFFX. jrsr J.

(S]j]Ml-W£EKLY) HARLEM, GA., FRIDAY, .JUNE 3. 1887 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. If WK* * aloyiti:. 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. «' —— Grovetown Locals. J. A. BANKS, ------ EDITOH. I , - -——— —' —————— - 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. _ Term*, XS."* »» Year in Advance.

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. • •• On Inst Saturday.evening.a daughter nf Zach. Strange, who lives about five miles from Swainsboro,about eighteen years of age, wns struck by lightning and instantly killed. She was stand ing near the milk dairy, where the lightning was attracted by the tin pails. A strange disease is prevailing among stock and cattle in Ogletborp-. county.
