Weather excessively warm.
“King Cotton” ami “Gen. Green’’

settle things and hang out a flag of
truce. Then won’t we all be glad, for
you as well as your readers are tired

They have gone—our railroad folks
have departed these coasts and have
gone near Augusta ’Twas quite a
sight to see the caravan as it passed
by, mules, wagons, carts, convicts
guards, dogs, captains, majors, colon
els, etc. It reminded me forcibly of
a long funeral [ recession and I could
not but be sad. The convicts were
singing, “Thank God I’tn going i
home.” Col. Bondurant cheered us
by saying: “The next tune we come
we will bring the engine.” So mote it

a little purer.) The little bubbling

spersed with flowers) still run as
smoothly and placidly along. The
birds hold their cantata’s and op, ra

boughs o’er hanging the stream. Na
ture seems to reign supreme, all is
calm and .serene. When there memo

and incidents, some pleasant faces
and acquaintances will be recalled
which time nor distance cannot ef
face. Not long sice j all was bustle
and confusion, a moving mass of life

like Goldsmith’s deseited village, or—
“ Sonic banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are lied - ,
Whose garlandn dead,
Ami all but me departed.”

Whew! Isn’t it warm though?
Cotton is growing beautifully.
Our church, St. Marys, had a huge
attendance on last Sabbath.
We are sorry our cnarming neigh

missed her presence at church Sunday.
Miss Ora Kendrick, one of Number
Three’s charming young ladies, visited
our neighborhood last week.
Mrs. Lamkin, Walton and Miss
Jennie Dent, spent last week with
Mrs Clanton.
The genial and handsome Torn, of
Grovetown, brought sunshine and
gladness to our hearts on last Sunday
by paying us a visit. He attended
church, and when the contribution
box was passed around, he put his
hand deep down in his pocket, and
sighed and pulled out a piece of sil
ver. We failed to observe how much
though. But Tom is a generous
fellow.
Mr. Johnnie Calvin, one of Au

spent last Sunday in our neighbor
hood.

“Sweet violets, sweeter than all the

We hud n regular trash-lifting rain
on Monday evening last. Our corn
is blown flat. ’Tis thought to have
been the hardest rain in eight years.
Gardens look splendid.
The Sunday School at Macedonia
is moving nicely under the efficient
management of Dr. J. W. Stanford.
If there is any place in the country
that needs a good Sunday school
surely this is one of them.
Prof. F. D. Young will deliver an
address on next Sunday evening on
Sunday school missions.
There is a movement on foot to
build a new Baptist Church. This
is a step in tho right direction and
should meet with the hearty approv
al of every good citizen: Grovetown
is a rising town with live and ener
getic citizens, and, too, they are
ready to meet the demands of the
times; let us then with a willing hand,
put our shoulder to the wheel and
move tho old chariot along. Knowing
the vim and energy of our citizens we
are confident that ere long the ring of
the hammers will bo heard.
Tho dent : of Col. H. Parmelius
Gibbs of tho 20th is regreted by a

Messrs. Irvin and Noah King and

CLEESE SPARKS.
BY BEGINNER.
I feel now like the little fellow in a
grocery store in Augusta did during
tho last hot wave. The proprietor
sent him down in the cellin' to draw
syrup and after waiting Home time for
him, called him up st»irs. * Oh!" he
said, “I am in no hurry to come, I
know tho thermometer is 900 up
there." Sunday and Monday wore
the warmest days 1 ever felt at this
season of Hie year.
Crops have suffered for rain. No
other class of people watch the weath
er as closely ns the farmer and none
uro so dependent on tho sunshine a d '
therein. Funning in a very uncer
tain business, but must bo kept up or
mankind will perish.
Our road, the A. and C. Railroad,
is, we hope, a certainty. It will bene
fit this part of Columbia wonderfully,
for we came near getting beyond Hie
lino of civilization away out here.—
You know wo aro just throe miles
from Lincoln. This part of tho coun
ty ho far an fine lands, timber, water
and consequent healtbfulnesH is con
cerned is better than any other por
tion of it, but has never been blessed
with the benefits and privileges ot n
railroad and that fact will keep any
county or part of it from making any
great strides toward success, but we
will appreciate the A. and C. Railroad
more for having had to wait, ho long
for it ami wo intend to do everything i
for its success in our power.
Tho new school house now in pro- |
cess of construction nt Harlem will do !
more for the growth of tho place in j
every way than anything else (hotel 1
included) and I think the enterpris
ing citizens deserve so much credit
for the energy and pluck they have |
exercised in regard to it. It may
seem strange for one so far remote
from the place to take such an inter j
est in it, but I attended school there 1
two years and feel endeared to it and
anything that will anyway contribute
to its welfare, as only pleasant recol
lections of happy school days spent
there can linger in memory and keep
ever fresh and green.
Since writing the above we have '
had a glorious rain and everything
seems so much refreshed. I heard a
farmer say this morning as he looked
over a large field of cotton and corn,
that the view it seemed to him was as
pleasant as that of Moses when he
was shown the promised land.

ANOTHER WEI.L KNOWN LANDMARK GONM
OVER THE RIVKH.
Evening News : Among the per*
; sonal institutions of Augusta, the obi
i landmarks as it were, none held his
peculiar place with more persistence
or apparent permanence than Parnie*
line Gibbs. Is there any one in the
city who did not know him ? la there
nny upon whom ho was not a regular
caller for many years ? In geweral,
cominorcittl ami household circles hu
may have been an occasional caller,
but with the gentlemen of the law,
medicine, the press and tho other
learned prof, ssions, he was a constant
visitor. He was upon terms of the
most insinuating intimacy with each
and nil of his friends, and if they did
not luippen to have a dollar, a half or
a quarter about them, he was quite ns
well contented with n dime. In the
absence of monetary relief sot the
“weak feelings" ho has been known t<»
accept and carry off with prayerful
thunks a bushel of meal, a side of ba
con, a sandwich, an old shoe, a pair
of old suspenders, n shoe buttouer or
a promise to pay at some future day.
He was persistent, imperturbable and
not to bo put aside. He was always
cheerful and in spirits, but never
smiled. This was perhaps on account
of family afflictions ami physical ex
haustion caused by overwork by night
and day. Ho was a child in some of
his ways, and yet a very shrewd man
at times. There was only one Pur
melius.
There was, beeauso I’lirmolius no
longer is. lie will never more calk
upon his friends or ride on the old
Georgia road. He aid not survive
the venerable ex-l’resident of the road,
whose greatness and free passes he
continually extolled, ami it ia alto
gather probable I hat ho could net sur
vive the recent rigid rule which forceif
him to pay his way to town. Yes,
Parmelius is dead. He passed away
nt his old home near Augusta last
afternoon and leaves his wife ami four
children whatever legacy of money or
memories ho has amiissod in a 1 these
years. Hih friends of the legal pro
fession recite many characteristic epi
sodes in which Parmelius figured in a
humorous ni.d oft times iu a pathetic
manner. Many of them might be ra
called just now, and they would en
rich the world’s fund of rare anec
dotes, but perhaps it is better to let
Parmelius and his peculiarities rest.
It mny not bo inappropriate just
now to suggest that a meeting of the
Bur be culled for tho compilation ot
personal memoirs of Col. H. Parmo- ■
lius Gibbs, which, in the absence of
the individual subscriptions of tha
past, might be published for the bone
tit of “Wady, Shady, Julia and tha
baby."
Attention City Fatal*.
Is it ignorance of the facts in tho
case or shall wo charge it up to care
lessness and indifference that our
town affairs do not receive proper at
tention? Gentlemen, this isn serious
mutter and requires prayerful con
sideration at your hands. You should
look after your inspector ami see that
he discharges the important duties
you impose upon him. Don’t defer
this matter any longer, but proceed
at once to use the authority vested in
you by virtue of your office and all
will be welt and our town will grow
and blossom im the rose.
