Several days was spent pleasantly at Grovetown with relatives last week. The place has improved rapidly since my last visit and will soon be number ed aud recorded as one cf the nicest and prettiest little towns on the Georgia Railroad. Tn accordance with my own inclina tion and the polite invitation given me by Editor J. A. Banks through the Sentinel, visited tho “iron spring. I “supped and sipped, and sipped and supped” to repletion and my heart’s content. But must confess “Dame Nature" was very sparing with her mineral material in the make up of that spring. It may be my organ or sense of taele is obtruse or defective or not very acute. But have heard a good many others express themselves the same way. But of course there nre some who differ with me, and I hope will be benefitted by its health giving waters. I have been reading Sam Jones. Isn’t some of “sayings” quaint, odd and appropriate ? He says, “it is the hit dog that hollers,” and “the medi cine we need most makes us sick.” Say to “Cuff.” thanks for tho com pliments bestowed. I’m sorry the muses left him so soon. I would like to havo beard some beautiful and original lines from him. I must have been very much like the little fl'.werette whose name I have assumed that he did not see me, for I was at the “iron spring" all the same. Well, Cuff, ‘ he is a dandy.” The original “poem” from Luck and Pluck was good and enjoyed by all who read it. ECHOES FROM El BANIS. BY OCCASIONAL. Capt.

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.

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. STUBBING IN HNIIRISBLRG.
