July 4th, 1887.
Messrs Editors:
1 was just perusing some of the
pleasant letters of the good Sentinel,
so thought I would try ami converse
with some of your happy correspon-
I dents through the meuium of the lit
tle pen. In the beginning of the cor
respondence, I take the precaution to
say that, should any one desire to
throw a lance of raillery at. me, I will
hide behind Bob ; for his intellectual
shadow, corresponding with his
physical form, makes ample shade for
my complete obscurity.
You see that I am coining in your
circle on the glorious fourth when all
is bustle and stir with the Grovetown
Editor ; for the reason he will not
hue time to notice small potatoes.
Rare violets are the more highly
appreciated because of their scarcity.
I venture to say that the perfection of
their delicateness of form, and their
unsurpassed fragrance, render imper
fection nn impossible characteristic to
a cultivated taste, Iso much admire
violets.
.’ Lope Phyllis will not come to the
sad fate of the nneient Phyllis, daught
er of Sithon King of Thrace.
By the way, why docs Dulcie sub
side into ft “Rip Van Winkle” sleep?
There is a wonder going around at
[■resent why Pearre’s Mill quit mak
ing grits for the Sentinel family.—
There is nothing belter than pearl
grits for breakfast.
Should Luck and Pluck ever pub
lish their poetry in book form. Wo
trust they will give a copy fine to
every brother correspondent. There !
is nothing swampy about their poetry.
News is scarce around the village.
Mr. S. E. Kelly is having an improv
ing touch added to the place by reno
vating the old store house on the
right of Broad street, going from the
Temple ufTJustice to Kiokeo Creek.
All that any place needs to secure
success of trade is competition, energy
and enterprise. Enough capital could
have brought the A. A C. R. R., to
Appling. But Appling will always
command a fair trade, if managed
judiciously.
We are having a delightful rain
which will be sufficient to make the
early corn tolerably good.

correspondents that 1 take the side

hence
On Sunday morning last, according ,
to previous arrangement, I boarded
the fast train bound for the beautiful
town of Thomson. Though being
reared within fifteen wiles of this en
ergetic hamlet, ’twos my first visit
tbere on Sunday. Accompanied by
a friend we at once repaired to the
Methodist Church, where we found a
large congregation deeply engaged in
the recitation of their Sunday school
I lessons. This school is in a flourish-
ing condition aud numbers about 160
TerniM. 52*5 it Y<*a.r in Advance,

( After the benediction, the congrega
lion, with but few exceptions attend
ed the Baptist Church, where also wo
found a largo congregation, whose
pleasure 'twns to listen to one of the
grandest sermon’s of the nineteenth
■ century, from that gifted divine. Rev.
i W. A. Overton. Text: “God is love.”
1 As the shadows of evening grow lorg
1 and faint, wo according to an inward
prompting, took a stroll through the
cemetery, which is a place within
whose limits a king would feel honor
ed to be lain to rest. We couldn't
but notice with what care the shrub
cry was kept cleared away and in
their stead beautiful roses and jes
mines were in full bloom. We could
but feel a thrill of solemnity penetrate
our very soul ns we passed the graves
of loved ones, whose grip of welcome
we Lave in by gone days felt so often.
Realizing that time nor trains wait
for no num, we retraced our steps and
was soon moving with groat, rapidity
to the salubrious hamlet, Grovetown,
where on the following day the
glorious fourth was to bo celebrated.
Early in the morning the cue lovers
begun to come from every direction
and continued until the arrival of the
12 o'clock passenger, when the speak
ers were introduced by the Mayor of
Grovetown, Dr. Joseph Hatton. The
first on the stage was our own George,
the Hon. Geo. T. Barnes, of Rich
moml, who gave u:i tin elegant and
flowery speech, which was followed by
another of the same stripe, from the
silver-tongued orator of the State,
Hon. J. C. C. Black, after which Eb.
T. Williams, Esq., was called upon
who delivered a spicy speech of con
gratulation. The speakers all took
seats muid deafening applause. In a
few minutes Capt. W J. H eggie
bounced upon n barrel and an
nounced dinner, which was abundant.
While the first table was eating, the
low rumbling of distant thunder ren
dered some of the fair sex v ry un
easy, and before the second had finish
ed their dinner, the gentle patter of
falling raiu caused quite a rush and a
break for the fodder house. The
vituals were not consumed by a great
deal, consequence quite a loss ensued
with the exception of a little i ncus or
two, the day passed off very quietly.
'Squire Jack Harris said that the
