Important Suggestion.
Messrs. Editors:
Permit me to suggest that on the
LIST day of August, while the voters
of Hardeman are at the voting places,
that they hold a convention and pass
resolutions expressive Of their desires
in regard to the opening of Big Hatch
lie. We think this a favorable time
to act in concert with the committee ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce
at Memphis. And remove the hin
dering cause to the navigation Of
Hatchie river, and thereby secure
cheap transportation, not only to Boil
var, but Pocahontas. All will admit
that Hatchie has straighter channel
from Bolivar to Pocahontas, than Is
from Bolivar to Brownsville. And its
main tributaries an above Bolivar.
Now will not the citizens in the dis
tricts, especially those that are within
ten or twelve miles, indicate their de-
sires by resolutions and having them
published in the Bulletin? For we
are confident you will take an interest
in the movement.
We will have a convention at No.
Is on the day of the election, and we
hope there will be one at every dis
trict in the county in this interest.
Yours as ever. w. ii. a.

County School Convention.

Among tho many subjects that have been
brought before our people, for the past few
years, there has been none of more Importance
than education. do not propose to enter into
an argument in favor of theme which is so
generally accepted good, but would like to
draw the attention of the teachers Of our coun-
ty the benefits of ouzanized labor in this fruit
ful field. The means of getting an elementary
-ellncnIion is now within reach at alunast avary
child and doubtless it would be well for us the
teachers, to consl Il the best means Of instruc-
ton.
1t was my privilege to attend the last meeting
of the Spar.anburg County Convention; and
was then more convinced of the advantages ac
cruiug from asscmblagc oil the kind. Each
one, in n friendly way, suggesting the plans he
had found to succeed fail and thus bringing
-,ut the experiences of many, and each obtaining
ideas that, perhaps, would never have been sug
gestcd in his routine Of daily labor.
Every teacher has had his troubles with DIFF
ferent text books here we might compare eX-
perimens and be of mutual aid. Our County
Commissioners can meet with us and give any
necessary instructions in reference to the work
ings of our public schools. If we can get the
movement on foot (and we can, if we willy each
succeeding meeting will be looked forward to
with more pleasure and will arouse to more
tive cxertions the community in which it is
held, producing twofolI benefit, TO the teach
ers and ucoplc | Sin,nlu tl,sous -.L---~---s-
gcs,ions to draw out the teachers and hope they
will freely express their opinions the subject.
Let some one, say the Rev. a. A. James, our
school Commissioner, call apreliminary meeting,
ut Union, of all the teachers desiring to enter
into the plan, at some convenient day and
there let SINE place be selected for q meeting du-
ring the simmer to perfect the organization. Let
us not be behind Spartanburg and some others

Honesty is the best Policy.

Many years ago there lived aud died in France
q popular and distinguished gentleman, whose
property was largely insufficient to pay his debts.
lie left q widow and small son, both considered
helpless but that widow, inherited fine estate,
which she resolved to sell and pay the last
franc of her dead husbands debts. Her Law
yer and some of her friends demonstrated with
her against this course: as the property WAS her
own, and not subject by law to her husband s
debts, and that she would suffer for the loss of
those enjoymens to which she had been accus-
toned, and her son would be deprived of the
case, education and social advantages which her
estate would afford. Her noble reply was,
no cloud Of dishonesty shall rest my
husbands memory; no blush shall mantle the
brow Of my son, ut the mention of his father $
name | wish him to lift his head, mcritor-
ously among the 2roudest of the land. She sold
her magnificent residence, paid all the debts,
retired to an humble cottage, devoted her time
ind reduced means to the vir,uous education of
her son. The example Of the mother, the duteous
and industrious habits of the son, were admired
and commented on by all who knew and had
heard of them; and when the son attained man
hood years, society stretched forth its arms to
embrace him, honors and offices were hcapel
upon him and before he was middle aged, he
had attained the highest places in the Govern
ment. In contrast with the above glorious his
tory, what do VIC often behold around us here !?
Fathers and Mothers paying out to lawyers

those obligations, and to manufacture papers as
records of their infamy in dishonest unl dshon-
orablc efforts to secure their unworthy sons from
the eternal demands of honesty and honors,
and to pile up post mortcm revelations of infamy
And how does society regard these sons, as it
sees ;hem to bc-self degraded, drunkards,

A VERY Coop REAsoN.-The reason why only
one sample bottle of MEnRELL's liErATINE for
the Liver will be sold to the same person, for
ten cents, by our Druggist, GlBBES CO., is
because of the enormous expense of importing
the lIepatine into this country; but as there
arc fifty doses in the large size bottle, it seems
medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver COM
plant. All who have not had q sample bottle
are entitled to one for ten cents at GlBBES s.
cos Drug store. Three dose relieves any case
of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion liver

MISTAKEN KINDNESS. We very
often meet with young men who, at
the age of twenty-one, are no more fit
ted to fight the battle OF life than most
BOYS are at sixteen. This is often, at
least, the fault of friends who, through
mistaken kcnduess. have taken upon
themselves the thinking and reasoning
that should have been done by those
they 30 urgently desire to rssist. In
other eases it arises from lack Of force
of character in the young man that in-
duees them To rely on their friends for
advice aud counsel rather than exert
themselves to the extent necessary to
form an opinion on which to found a
Judgment. One of the first lessons =
iuau should be taught is that of self
reliance. Let him seek the advice OF
older and wiser people if he will; good
counsel harms no one; but should care
fully consider all they say. and then
decide for himself; sometimes, perhaps
often, he will decide wrongly-but
every wrong decision is. or should be,
a valuable lesson. Friends may proper
ly be used as counsellors and guides,
but not a. leaning posts or stats. Learn
auother's stroke If you think it better
than yours, then paddle your own
canoe. Floats and life preservers are
often very serviceAble but they are not
always at hand in time of danger, and
he is wise who learns to swim without
their assistance. Until boy can learn
TO rely upon his own Judgment, he will
never be q man, in reality. no matter
what his age may be.

A HORSE FOR A FEE-Last Sunday
night gentleman reached the city on
the Macon and Augusta passenger train
and registered at the Central Hotel as
DR.. d. r. Fluker of Irontown. Tuesday
morning two others. Henry Clay of
Toombsb boro. and DR.. j. B. Roberts Of
Sandersvillc. registered at the same
hotel. Yesterday morning these gen.
tlemen returned home, and it then
leaked out that they had come to Angus
Ia for the purpose of fighting duel.
DIR. Fiuker was to be one of the princi-
pals, Mr.. Clay his second, and DR.. Rob-
erts the surgeon. The other principal,
we understand, was Mr.. Lee, q lawyer
of Irwinton. The duel was to have
taken place at Sand Bar Ferry, Tuesday
morning. but Mr.. Lee was not on hand.
DIR. Fluksr then telegraphed to Irwin
ton to ascertain why Lee did not come,
and received . reply stating that he
had been arrested at Irwinton. Dr.
Fluker and his friends therefore return
ed home. We understand that the
doctor says this will not be the end of
the sffair. As far as We can learn. tho
difficulty grew out cf controversy
about horse. DR.. Fluker has attended
lady III Irwontou, who gave him q
horse in payment of his bill. Mr. Lee
had obtained Judgment against son
of the lady. and claimed that the horse
was the property of the son. and not of
the mother Dr. Fiuksr and Mr.. Lee
had some words about the matter, and
finally. we arc told. Mr.. Lee attacked
DIR. Fluker with knife DR.. Fluker
retorted by knocking Mr.. Lee down
three times with q pistol. Mr.. Lee soon
afterward wrote note to DR.. Fluker,
calling him coward. and DR.. Fluker
Immediately challenged him. Mr. Lee
accepted the challenge. and n meeting
was arranged to take place at Sand Bar
Ferry. as above indicated.
