Apply to Mrs H. G. Anthony. 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.” —Read the Tax Collector’s notice jn this issue.

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. Eff-Ell. ttewil SPARKS? BY ZIP. Sultry and dusty weather. Thus far we have missed the "usual September gale, and the modern prophets predict that wo wont have one this year. The greater portion of the fleecy staple is now ready for cuff to cull. The building boom is upon us again. Three more new dwellings will soon bo completed. Your humble “Zip" hasn’t much curiosity, but ho would give a nickle to know where I’rot. Y. went Sunday. Mr. W. J. Heggie is away nt this I writing, eating wedding cake. I hope I ho will not get sick. | How can any enterprising citizen i do without his county paper? I would suggest to all that are in arrears to pay up and renew, and make the edi- 1 tors smile. 'The ex-local editor from this point is now passing through a copious season of accordeon music and scup pernong eating. The marshal has orders to take up all cattle found running at large, with in the corporate limits. One of the Grovetown melon rain ' ers, we are reliably informed, shipped 28 in a flour barrel, and then it wasn’t full. Miss Mamie Smith, of our town has gone, to New York for the pur pose of buying her full stock of mil linery goods. 'Possum hunting without a dog has become very fashionable. Grovetown has a telegraph office. Mr. Heath, of Norwood is operator and railroad agent. Grovetown is greatly infested by a host, of suck egg dogs. We anxious ly wait and watch for the time when the city fathers shall relieve us of these balking and howling pests. The house over the life-giving fountain is nicely progressing. What has become of our beloved Phyllis ? We hope she isn’t waiting till the roses come again.
