FOURTH OF JULY AND FUN AT GROVETOWN.
Editors Sentinel:
There is no class who are harder
worked (han farmers, no o who have
so few pleasures, so little relaxation
from arduous unremitting toil. From
dawn to dark, summer and winter,
they are scratching dirt aud any old
hen with a brood of chicks can show
better results for labor bestowed.
This eternal grind is exhausting to
body, mind and spirit, especially in
tli< so long hot days, when the sun is
in such a hurry to get up and so ter
ribly slow to go to bed. This is a
good time to stop awhile, meet to
gether aud have a good time, some
innocent fun.
On tho fourth of July, Grovetown
expects to havo a regular old time
Columbia county frolic. Everybody
is invited, ol<l men and matrons,
young men and maidens and little
children. Everybody ooiue, hitch up
tho horse or mule, put tho whole
family in tho wagon, put some money
in your pockets, not forgetting prov
ender for tho animal and come on.—
There is to ho a barbocuo dinner,
about 40 animals will be slaughtered
and lor 50 cents you can got a big
dinner, a great variety of moats,
roasted, barbecued and hash, with
bread, vegetables and coffee. Messrs.
John Fisk ami Oliver Hardy will have
the supervision of the dinner, that is
sufficient guarantee that it will be
first class; what they don’t know
about good eating isn’t worth know
ing; their glorious rotundity aud jo I
vial faces would convince the most i
skeptical.
Besides these substantiiils lighter
delicacies will bo furnished; there will
be lemonade wells, cold as Alpine
glaciers, ice cream bowers, shorbert
grottosand fairy nooks from which
delectsome delights will bo dispensed
by pretty maids.
Mnj. Barnes, our solid Congress
man, tho best worker in Congress, and
a capital speaker, will give us a char
acteristic talk. The eloquent J. C. C.
Black will also speak.
There will be base ball, foot races,
sack races, climbing and walking
greased poles, snatching hot nickels,
jumping and all other kinds of fun to
make us laugh and grow fat and for
get for the time grassy crops, thin
stock, commission merchants and
other ills. Fun never did any one
harm yet, where no duty is neglected
by its indulgence. We have the am
ple sanction of the good book for
that, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Laban,
Job, Pharoah, Ahasuerus, Samson,
Samuel, David, Solomon and hosts of
other Gid Testament worthies gave
great feasts. Our Saviour attended
feasts and one, at least, was given in
his especial honor. Among the de
nouncement against tho Jews for
wickedness was the threat that their
feasts should cease.
Good eating is a civilizer, the bet
ter the eating tho higher the civiliza
tion. * A merry heart maketh a cheer
ful countenance” and the best way to
have a merry heart is to fill the stom
ach. Good humor is said to bo tho
evil genius of despair and the guardian
angel of contentment, ami content
ment is better than great riches
Emmerson says, “if a man docs not
make life and nature happier for his
fellow man he had better never have
been born.” So wo propose to have
i one happy day any way. May skies
1 be propitious.
The barbecue, dinner and other
nice things will bo dispensed in the
i pretty Clifford Park—the waters of
1 the iron spring free to all. Quaff and
I get strong and hearty. Alston.

important decision by judge emory
SPEER.
Mai on,Ga., June 25.—1 n the United
I Slates circuit court, to-day, in the
case of J. K O. Sherwood against
Rebecca Rountree, Judge Speer ren
dered a decision in his charge to the
jury which is regarded by leading
members of the bar as one of the most
far reaching and important iu its con
sequences which has been made iu
this circuit for years. Tho pendency
of an immense number of suits against
land owners in Georgia in which the
principle decided is iqqilieablo, gives
it this importance.
The testimony in the case was that
tho agents of the money-lenders de
ducted twenty per cent byway of
commissions, and counsel in argu
ment stated that inpill the borrower
had paid forty-three per cent interest.
This, of course, under the Georgia
law, would be usurious, and the usury
would render void nnyjdeed or mort
gage made to secure such a debt,
provided that the true lender of the
money had notice of the usury.
It was in evidence that Sherwood,
through tho Corbin Bunking com
pany, of New York, had made many
of these loans, mid Judge Speer
charged the jury that if froiu the na
ture of tho transaction ; the great
number of the loans of this character
imide where the deeds and mortgages
were executed to the plaintiff in this
case ; the continuous nature of the
transactions mid importance of the
amounts involved, it was reasonable
to be inferred that a man of ordinary
prudence in his business transactions
would understand and know it, in tho
absence of proof to the contrary, and
that presumption not rebutted by
proof would charge him with all the
consequences of the usurious contract
of his agents ; and that if this bo true,
the plaintiff cun only recover the legal
rate of interest.
Tho most widespread effect of the
decision will be that such usury would
render void the deeds and mortgages
executed to those usurious loans.
Mr. A. C. Riley, of Fort Valley,
most ably defended the case for the
defense, and deserves much credit for
his victory.—Constitution.
