Minnehalla Lodge.

1t is true, at all times Of the
worlds history, all enterprises, no
matter how laudablc, commcndable,
or benefccnt, meet with opposition,
from some source, in their incipiency.
Christianity is not exempt, but with
schools, railroads, public and private
institutions. of every kind, have met
opposition. Then it is not surpris-
ing that the cause of Temperance
should have its enemies, as well as
its friends. In this community these
preludices are becoming less preva-
lent, and Temperance is gaining the
ascendancy. The Good Templar
order of this place, of the above
name, is in most Aourishing condi-
ton, numbering l65 members. The
fact that there are accessions, new
members, every meeting, recently in
the past, speaks most gratifyingly of
the esteem and favor it is enjoying.
The members are puuctual in at
tendance, the meetings are rendered
pleasant and the cause is advancing
in the accomplishment of good.
The following officers, of Mime
haha, were installed at the last
meeting for the present quarter =

Arrests

Last Friday one United States
Marshal and Assistant, from South
Carolina, visited this vicinity in
search of citizens, accused of fleeing
from the clutches of the Infamous
Ku Klux law in force in South Car
lima. They succeeded in persuad-
ing some South Carolinians, who
had left that down-trodden, negro
ruled, military-oppre State, to
leave their rented lands, now in cul-
tivation, in this and Cherokee coun-
ty, and accompany them to this
place to be carried back to undergo
trial, as their warrants read, ''for
conspiracy, &C." Their names are
w. II. s. Harris, w. A. Foster, w.
w. Scott, w. G. Scott, and one little
boy, and also G. M. Whitlock. The
prisoners were supped, Toasted, and
expenses paid generally by the Unit
ed States Marshal at the Kennesaw
House, and all endeavors were used
to make them content TO be carried
back to undergo trial for 'the light
charge of conspiracy" About nine
o'clock, the prisoners noticed that
said Whitlock, who protested to be
among them as their friend, ,juggled'
rather often and suspiciously with
these officers, and they concluded
that absence Of body was equally as
desirable as presence of mind, and
they very courteously went in search
of some water, near by, and never
more returned, greatly to the disap-
pointment of the u. $: Marshal.
1t is we'll they did take this new
departure" for the CALLING chains of
tyranny and hate would have been
riveted upon their wrists, as has
been the fate of other unfortunate
South Carolinians who are now in
Northern prisons, serving out, some
/ 8 and 5, and others 10 years SEN
fences, and that, too, for no greater
/ offences.
We do not approve of wickedness
in high or low places, and we think
that crime ought to be punished, but
this vindictive persecution Of de-
fencelcss citizens, that have been
robbed, maligned, oppressed and
driven from their homes, their prop
ertv. their families and friends, as is
now being waged, when hatred and
selfish greed to reap the harvest of
"procIamatiou rewards" that negro
testimony caused to be offered, are
the incentives to such diligent ac-
ton, is a shame to Republican Gov
eminent and a stigma of rcproach
upon American Freedom. The suf-
ferings of the Southern people are
great indeed. And their love can
not be gained by cruelty. The very
fact that intelligence and virtue is at
discount, and ignorance and vice
and negro predominancy, are ruling
South Carolina, is the most melan-
cholly and humiliating spectacle Of
this age and nation, and the wonder
is that there are not greater upheav-
ais of wrath and self asserted SUI
premacy in South Carolina, than
the otherwise patient course of these
people.

in under bright auspices, and with
its encouraging tokens, could have
been seen numerous wagons, bug
gies and rockaways, railing out Pow

precious cargo of humanity, bound
for a gala day at lion. w. p. An
derson's Mill, 8 miles from this place.
Being the "rear guard" in our ar
rival, the cortege Of ladies and gem
tlemen. had disembarked and were
engaged in various pastimes-some
were clustered beneath overspread-
ing foliage, many in the mill house,
others persevcringly bateing the
barbed hook to catch the "hnny
tribe" while lovers rambled, enjoy
ing tete-a- teteS nearest their hearts
happiness. Powder Springs and vi
cinity were handsomely represented
and entered merriIy into the sociaIi-
ties of the day.
The most agreeable period, noon.
for the refreshment of the elmer
man. dawned none too soon, as the
devotees of Epicure practically dem
onstrated. Underneath commodi-
GUS new structure, adapted in con-
struction for a gin house, were eX-
tensively spread repast of "delica-
cies and substantials" that would
have graced the festal board of Hy-
men. 1t was amusing to see some
of these beautiful ODDLY Vardens"
with flashing eyes, carmine cheeks,
and smiling expressions, amid dang
ling tresse8 and floating ribbons,
pounce upon sardine box or dive
into bottles of pickles and pepper
and after partaking make wry faces
at the boys. More amusing still TO
observe the rapid demolition of
cooked fowls under the ponderous
maxillary appendages of the r0ugher
ser, and ''sweet pickles" and jeIlies
disappeared as mysteriously as are
the seance illusions of the "Daven-
port Brothers" Pineapple, can
dies, cakes, pies, meats, &C., &c.
met with like fate.
This part Of the programme be-
ing most approximately performed,
fishing and rambling were again re-
sumed. 1t is charming to breathe
the pure, country air-gentle zeph-
rvs, redolent with tie herbs sweetest
perfume, tanning our fevered cheeks,
cheering us in heart, while our mind
went out and luXuriated in the com
bincd scenery of the miniature Mag
IA Falls, as the rushing water leap
ed over the extraordinary dam, and
the beautiful objects on every side,
dispeling that underlined detection
which intense heat broods. Amid
the gayeties Of this delectable hour,
there came waited to our ears the
musical strains of the String Band
where fair ladies and polite gentle
men were doing honors at the shrine
of Terpsichore. Thus with many
amusements and much pleasure, the
hours stealthily crept away. Re.
luclant dispersion ensued, and we
soon found ourselves "homewarc
bound" The day passed off unex-
coptionably pleasant, good feeling
and sociability reigned supreme.

How We Used to be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when
spring pureation was considered Indispensable
to summer health No matter for wry faces,
the inevitable salts and SIENNA, lhubard, or cal
omel and ialap, must be administered. These
"spring medicines the youngsters were told,
were to keep them hale and hearty during the
summer. We all know now that this was a
falacy that new vigor, not depletion, Is what
is required at the commencement Of the summer
solstice As preparation for the enervating
effects of oppressive sumEasr weather course
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters is highly eXpe-
dent. This famous vegetable preparation has
three prominent properties It renOvates, puri-
fies and regulates all the functions of the body.
1t is composed exclusively Of pure vegetable
productions, viz: the essential principle of Mon
opEahea Rye and the most efiicacious tonic
and Alternative roots, banks, and gums known to
medical botanists. Hence, it is an absolutely
safe medicine, and no tincture Of the Pharma-
copmia can compare with it either in purity, or
in the variety of its Objects aud its comprehen-
sive results Happily for mankind, the theory
that it. was necessary to PROSTATE patient III
order to cure him, is forever exploded, and the
true philosophical doctrine, that vigor is the
great antagonist OF disease, has taken its place.
Hostetter's Bitters is an inyigorant, and hence
it is the proper medicine for the feeble at this
most trying season Of the year
Be sure that you obtain the genuine article,
as there are innumerable vile limitations in the
market Look to the ornamental stamp, the
engraved label, and the name blown into the
glass. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters sold in bot
ties only.

The Harve st of the Head.

When the comb acts as rake bringing
away roll of parted iibers every time it
passes through the hair, badness would soon be
inevitable. But even in this case, forlom as it
NAV seem the mischief can be arrested, the loss
repaired. Lyons KathairrOn, aided by brisk
application Of the brush to promote the absorp
ton of the fluid by the scalp, will stop the thinn-
ing-out process in forty eight hours The roots
from which the dead flainents were shed will
soon be re-endov ed with vitality, and new
growth will speedily spring up on the denuded
places. This work Of reproduction will go on
until the damage is completely repaired, and
the luxuriant crop ofhair thus produced will
never wither or fall out as long as the vitalizng
applications regularly continued.
