BY VIOLET. Weather excessively warm. “King Cotton” ami “Gen. Green’’ are still having a tremendous and ter rible battle, but I think they will soon 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 of this deadly conflict 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 be The “Heights,” the summits, the i deep cuts and gulleys and last, but | not least, “Rock Spring’ are left to us Its waters are still as cold (and a little purer.) The little bubbling brook with its mossy bank (inter spersed with flowers) still run as smoothly and placidly along. The birds hold their cantata’s and op, ra tors in the lofty and wide spreading boughs o’er hanging the stream. Na ture seems to reign supreme, all is calm and .serene. When there memo ry will revert to some happy scenes 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 and humanity. Now the place looks like Goldsmith’s deseited village, or— “ Sonic banquet hall deserted, Whose lights are lied - , Whose garlandn dead, Ami all but me departed.” Sic transit gloria mundi. HUMBER TWO BLOSSOMS. BY CUFF. 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 bor, Mrs. L. Clanton, has been so in disposed for the past few days. We 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 gusta’s most popular young men, spent last Sunday in our neighbor hood. The whole of our neighborhood i took in the entertainment >t Grove ' town on the 15th, but alas ! disap- I pointinent sinketh the heart of man, Violet was not there, boo-hoo-o-o-o. It is a great mystery to your hum ble Cuff, why Dike and O in looking for Miss Perfection, does not find the lovely Violet; why I imagine she is just the sweetest creature imaginable “Sweet violets, sweeter than all the •roses.” Oh ! for the power of poets, to write a short, sweet, little piece for sweet Violet's sake. But ah me, we ■ have to borrow. i Wo are now able to explain whv I * i the Grovetown Editor was too late i with Ids communication to your ; popular paper. Ho was gathering a | bag of apples for a beautiful young i lady. Miss Ida Griffin, a beautiful belle | of Number One, will spend next week [in our neighborhood, the guest of ’ Miss Fannie Norvell. We think if “Soda” was put in a good size biscuit, be would stand the hardships of this life much hotter. Mr. Turner Clanton will return home from college this week. Rejoice girls and be glad. I.WETOWJ LOCALS. J. A. BANKS, EDITOR. 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 number of our beet citizens. He was an inoffensive creature and has a number of friends here. His burial was largely attended. Watermelons are getting ripe. Capt. W. J. Haggle’s imported cats died of too much petting. Maj Geo T. Barnes and J. C. C. Black are expected on the 4th of July uh tho principal orators of the day.— The cue will be a largo one with 40 carcasses, tho proceeds are to build a house over the mineral spring. Messrs. Irvin and Noah King and J. B. Blackstone took from one bee tree 100 pounds of first class honey recently. They got their share of bee stings, too, as they went along. We put oi:r Marshal against any one else in the art of making lemon ade, which can be proven. > — DOTS FROM THE SWAMP. BY LUCK AND PLUCK.

Sim, 1 saw you driving that little pony, you, for humanity sake, should have pulled tho buggy yourself and let her rode. Did any one at Hitriem borrow Jack Marshall's cradle ? if so, speak out and nothing will bo said. The Grovetown Editor wishes to know who it was that got left in tho Swamp. We have too much respect for ourselves to teach. Mrs. Pluck is saving her chickens for the preachers. I wish they would come along, you can't imagine the quantity of blackberries mound here. We are in Jack Beasley's fix, they are good enough, wo wont trouble the commission merchant for bacon while they last. T. E. Benning and family are all sick. 11. M. Morg in hays they hud a big I snow in Harlem which caused the cold snap here. 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. The Best si All. Os all the medicines I ever he and of or used, I consider Dr. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cordial the best medi cine for all bowel trouble ami children teething ever used. A. J. Stine, Oxford, N. C. SV Have your Job Printing done at thin office VOL V NO. 51 I’OUR FARMELIIkS. 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.
