A FEW PLAIN WORDS.
IF THE CAP FITS YOU WEAK IT.
Some designing party or parties
have put in circulation some reports
that are not very well calculated to
promote the interests of Harlem.
Persons living ut a distance will
very naturally listen to anything said
in regard to the health of a small
town, and from hearsay will arrive at
a conclusion that would be hard to
remove. Harlem is paid to be the
most unhealthy place anywhere in
this section of Georgia—a death trap.
Now, we defy any one, be be who he
may, to place a case of malarial fever
to the credit of Harlem and prove it.
We are aware of the fact that it is
quite easy to talk. Assertions are
very often made that cannot be sub
stantiated. It is so in this case. We
would like for the officious news mon
gers to come to the front and make
out their case It is not necessary
for us to enter into detail to refute
the misrepresentations that have pass
ed to the winds and we will not do it,
but simply call upon the parties who
have bus e 1 themselves in this matter
to prove the truthfulness of their
statements. If you cannot prove that
Harlem is unhealthy, then cease to
talk about a matter that you know
nothing of and thereby preclude the
necessity of further misrepresentation
in the premises. Perhaps it would
be well to recall the old adage: “Be
sure you are right, aud then go
ahead.”

The Lawn Party.
Editors Sentinel :
The Lawn Party upon the evening
of the 9th inst. was in every respect
VOL V NO. 74
the “affair of the season.”
Tho bright camp tiros, saucy Japi
nose lanterns, soft carpets of living
groin, rustic, seats, lovely maidens,
happy children, fond parents, ripples
of innocent mirth, busy tratic of ice
cream and cake rendered it an occa
sion of practical results, as well ns a
scene of weird loveliness and social
pleasantry. Surely such gatherings,
conducted in moderation, cannot of
fend even the most scrupulous. The
unbiased observer will nt once per
ceive their salutary effect in dispell
ing the occasional thrust that we are
n stiff, unsociable people, and in
awakening a general public spirit.
There is much truth in the senti
ment that home is what the mother
makes it. May we not add, with equal
truth, that tho destiny of a city or
town is what her citizens make it?
Harlem in its natural environments
■is a gem of beauty. As a tourist of
extensive travel observed : “This is
tho prettiest place in the State of
| Georgia for a large town !”
This was no idle comment. Na
ture’s hand was never more generous
in her gifts of pure water, grand ma
jestic trees whose broad shades are an
untiring feasts to happy children and
weary pedestrians; long leaf, dreary,,
musical pines, gentle slopes and broad
level streets, atmosphere healthy and
invigorating, entirely .‘roe from mala
ria—notwithstanding some have un
justly stated that we were surrounded
by mud holee and swamps which en
gender sickness. We should not bo
surprised at such imputations, as it
has been tho history in all ages of the
past, that the possession of superior
excellence aud rare qualities invari
ably excite comments of depreciation
from tho environs. Let us cherish
our Sylvan Queen and guard all that
pertains to her interests.
