FOREST GROVE.
BY JOHN SCROGGINS.
We have had a bard fight and a
long fight and just as we got our ene
my where we were sure of victory
and began to rejoice we see the I
heavens darken and the rains began
and are continuing and Gen. Green
will give us another round.
In our section corn and cotton are
in better condition than for years!
past. Small grain, with very few ex
ceptions, is sorry.
\V e have bad some sickness in our 1
home since I wrote last, but all are
well again.
There is a great deal of sickness in
i this section at present We sympa
thize with Phyllis, we know her
i anxiety for her little balxs was great.
It was quite sick when last heard
from- hope it will soon be restored to
health again She is spending some
time with relatives around Appling.
Wo were made glad a few days ago
!by the return of our sister Emma
who has been in the Gate City for
; more than a year. She is much im
proved in health. You can imagine
how we felt when I tell that I picked
her up in my arms and put her on
the train for Atlanta a helpless woman,
but we went to see her the other
day,she mot inc at the doom live and
a good locking girl, too, and it did
seem as if her tongue -was loose at
both ends and we felt proud and
thankful, too.
We are under obligations to tell
about our picnic; we had it on Ger
many creek and had a huge time, wc
did, a big crowd, too. All ages were
invited and they camo, from the baby j
>to the mun way up in the seventies i
We love to see ovei body enjoy them
selves and we ask all to our pics nnd
they come nnd all have a good time,
the table was all that could bo desir
ed and when we began dinner. John
Sutton yelled out. “big rain coming," j
but it did no good. We all had eyes ,
and the rain came not. In the small
hours of the eve we parted, the only
regret from those who passed our
way, was why didn’t wc appoint a day !
for another. When crops nre off of
hand we will have a jubilee and don’t
you forget it.
Since writing the above we have
been looking around some and find
the strenins higher nnd more damage
than from any tain for a long time.
Endorsed.
We the undersigned, patrons ai d
friends of the Hnrlem High School
take this method of commending

preciation of the course ho has per

DOTS FROM THE SWAMP.
BY LUCK AND PLUCK.
Tho rains have come and every
tiling refreshed.
Cotton crops looking well and in j
good order. General Green will
marshal his forces soon, and then
comes the tug of war
Willie C. Knox has been very ill
Glad that be is improving.
No one entirely well Every one
you see has some ailment, if nothing
else a sore toe.
AA hooping cough said to be in the i
Swamp. Look out for squalls from
the little ones.
Jackie Morgan and old Gray Jim
paid the swamp a visit on Sunday.
Come again old fellow, the girls will
treat you right.
Miss Bessie Howell is visiting the
Misses Crawford. Somebody wears a
long face in the Swamp.
I would suy to J. A. B. that be is
not the only fellow that has been left
by Lie girl. But don’t mind it, there
Term*, #1 25 n, Year in Advance.
i is as good tisk in tho sea as was ever
■ caught out of it.
AVhat is the matter Dulcie ? AVe
miss your warbling Como again
soon.
The rain lias come and the ground
too wet to plow, so the fox hunters’
horn blew this evening nnd tho young
! bucks of the Swamp are hunting for
I Reynard to-night. Wish them good
luck.
TIDIWS FROM 1(11 EE.
BY VIOLET.
It has rained fearfully, washed tho
hind and young crops considerably.
i Plowing has been suspended for sov-
i era! days.
The weather is still warm and de
pressing. Tho rains seems to cool
tho atmosphere-but very little.
AVt are sighing for chalybeate
I water. Can’t wo induce “those
; capitalist" to extend their prospect
, ing tour further up and put some
mineral in ours? Tho temperature
of our climate is a little higher and
cooler than that of Bel-Air; ns we live
■in near proximity to two famous
mountains Baldwin and Graves and
are funned by their cool breezes.
AVhat has become of our correspon
dent R. S. T? We miss the “dots"
and tho inklings of wit, humor uud
sarcasm from bis sparkling pen.
An ice cream festival at Mrs. E.
Berry’s in Number One is booked for
the 10th. The beaux and belles of
this community have n any bright an
ticipations in view- Cousin E’h is the
place to have a good time.
Dike and O, go moping about an if
they ha<l lost something. I guess they
can’t find “Miss Perfection.”
Mrs. B. and Miss L., two lovely
ladies from Grovetown wore visitors,
besides a host of others this week.
Mis. AValton has resumed her
school. If tho “Madnmo” can't ad
vance a pupil, (hoy had as well never
go any more. She is a ladv of culture
and education and seems particularly
adapted to teaching.
I am informed by a reliable and
noted physician the Rock Spring
water has cured two cases of dys
pepsia.
In response to “Cuff" regarding
those “young ladies." I am free to
say, it was no supposition of mine, I
was informed. I dure suy, if they
made as handsome and stylish look
ing “chaps" uh they are charming
girls, I would have boon completely
captivated and would have joined in
chorus with many others, “Ob, my
heart is gone and I'm forlorn.” A
darling face hath won me, etc.
THE WORK OF DEATH.
A MOTHER AND HON DIE SUDDENLY.
The Augusta Chronicle of yester
day reports the following:
! A series of sad deaths were report
ed from AVe»t End yesterday, but the
saddest of ail were those of Mrs Liza
i Lokie and her son, Thomas Lokie.—
I The lat ter, who is 4G years of age,
1 with a wife and five children, had
been living in Griffin, but, losing his
! health, camo home to his mother. —
'lhey resided on May avenue, near
! the old toll gate, other members of
the family living further up, on Moore
avenue. Mr. Lokie h- complaint was
ribceM of the lungs.
Yesterday morning nt 2 o’clock ho 1
seemed in a dying condition, and the 1
distracted mother went hurriedly for I
his sister. Being 7G years of age,
and not in the best of health, the ex- !
citement and exertion proved too ,
much for her. Just as she arrived at
her daughter's door, she sank to the
ground and expired in a moment.—
Tnis was a great shock to her chil- ,
dren and friends, but they little knew
that still another sad blow awaited
thcui. Within as hour the intelligence
VOL V NO. 40
was received that Thomas Lokie wi ■
dead. Thus the son quickly followed
tho mother, nnd both will be laid to
. rest side by side. Mrs. Lokie'* death
i was tho result of heart disease, sad
her son's from lung complaint. She
leaves four grown children. Mr.
Lokio's family nre in Griffin and have
been sent for. Il is really one of the
most, touching happonitffS that have
visited Augusta for some time.
TRIP MOTES
Editors Sentinel:
Saturday, Juno 4th, was a bright
day, after several days of rain, with
wind and hail, we concluded if owf
I better half would accompany us we
would visit old AVi ightsboro where I
was once ns familiar us a school boy
could bo. AVe found the place as of
old, with its many ancient red bills
and historic gnlleys with but few in
habitants, but the same open hearted
hospitality nn of yore.
AVe fourd tho quarterly conference
in session hero, presided over by Rev.
Mr. Lovejoy, P. E., with L. C. Smith,
ns Secretary. AVo were not in time
for the morning service, but were in
time for dinner nnd we regret our in
ability to do as those good people
wanted uh, Hint is, eat with every one.
AVe did our bent to accommodate
thorn, wo gave our better half over to
one while we went with another. This
was tho best we could do, unlewi we
had curried the little ones, then we
could have accepted a few more invi
tations. If you want to be treated
like oh of old go among these people
whose hospitality knows no bound*.
Tho reports during conference were
satisfactory with but very slight ex
ceptions. The claim of Appling cir
cuit against Thomson circuit for
$250 00 caiiHod some discussion, the
claim being presented by Rev.
T. O. Rorie nnd M. C. Fulton. It is
ns follows: Several years ago the old
While Oak Camp Ground was sold
for SI,BOO and divined equally be
tween Thomson and Appling circuit,
each receiving SOOO. White Oak
Church was then in the Thomson
circuit, later put on Appliug circuit,
and now claims her legacy or pro ruts
of the S9OO, which the Thomson cir
cuit received. This is the first knowl
edge 1 have had of the individuality
of any one—the M. E. Church being
a Hopeinte and individual body: we
always thought that it was one grand
body subject to the one great head.
But White Oak is assuming to be in
•h pendent and wants $250 to go with
:er wherever she may drift. Well,
we will nee the end by and by, but
we will return to tho Boro.
AVo notice Mr Erastua William*
has made considerable improvement*
on his house by the use of new
slnnglcH and the paint brush, also *
new verranda iu front. The rest show
age, some decay,and the many grassy
lawns are now cultivated fields. Os
the old inhabitants who were there in
our school days none remain except
J. H. Scott and AV. A. Wude, better
known as Laggins AVe might dwell
here on our childhood and its joys,
till we worry you, but we will desist.
Wo will have something to say ore
long about our supply club. So bye
bye for the present. Alva*.
