RANDALL FRANKLIN. Sun Hill Ga. jnne 16th 1880. P. S. Me. I will be much ob liged to you if when you ate all fill out for your next issue, un- talking politics you would make The Bnllard Road Case. The second trial of this caBe by order of Hon. O. C. Brown, Ord’y to assess the amount of damnges done tin plantation of Dr. Bullard by the es tablishment of a Public Road through it was had last week before E. A Sullivan, Esq., and the Jury as in the first trial failed to agree upon verdict. This we think will be an end of the case. Randall Franklin express his sen timents in that usual happy and witty manner so peculiarly bis own, which renders his pieces pop ular with all classes. Bis letter in another column will repay perusal. The Novelty Works. J. T. Tapper, Esq. is improving bis extensive work Bhops and has added a large planing mill, which with his gr^st mill will be run in the interest oi his patrons. Mr. Tapper is an ener getic man, an excellent mechanic and a public spirited citizen who de lves Buceess. All the machinery at his shop is in constant operation, and speaks well for the patronage he receives. tWH:’ H The Injunction Case Restraining the State from pro ceeding against-Treasurer Reufroe and his securities by execution was heard by Judge Simmons in Macon and the decision rendered last week iB in favor of Tresurer Ren froe, and we are confident that when the case 18 fully adjudicated by our courts the final decision will justify Mr. Renfroe in all his acts, and show him to be a good officer, a faithful Treasurer and an honest man, whose services Georgia cannot afford to dispense with. [communicated.] Messrs Editors. We notice an advertisement in your columns under the head of “warning to young men and boys,” whereby Mr. Jesse Robson cautions us from bathing or fishing in his his pond under penalty of a prose cution. We think he is very un just and tender him our sincere thanks for his great generosity. He says he will charge ten cents for a fish, audit is the first inti mation we have had of any fish being in the pond. We have been visiting tho place a few times for the pleasure of bath because there was no other place to go to, but we never once thought the bpnefit we obtained from such visits could be consider ed worth anything. If Mr. Rob son’s intention is to charge us for such privilege we think he should first make some neat arrangements that would give it the name of a of a “wash-hole” before he consider ed it worth a nickel. Yours very truly THE BOYS. P. s.—In the next campaign we will support Mr. Robson at the rate of five cents a vote. til the persimmon shadi s get a lit tie longer and broader in that grasy gotten patch.

If you never did clout you on your death bed regret that you never did. every newspaper you ever read ad vises young men to quit studying out professions, they say : ‘‘Go to the farm, improve your health, harden your muscles, make men of yourselves, learn of the bee,’’ and all such pretty talk. Well now all that beauty stops right there. Ex-Gov. H. V. Johnson. We regret to learn of the contin ued illness (from partial Paralysis of one side) of this great and distin- man; one whom our county loves and who we delight to honor.

Well, we are getting mighty hot and dry in the 63d, these zephyrs from the west reminds me of a tale I heard that happened once on Tar River North Carolina. I seems they were about to burn up there from a long July draught, a party of the sufferers concluded they would hold a prayer meeting and tell the Lord if he would send ’em some showers, liow good they would be, quit drinking and telling stories etc. You know they do that may in Ga. sometimess when they get in Double, Me—make mighty pretty promises. Well while these folks on Tar River were holding that prayer-meeting fpr rain, an old hard case in that com munity,—that bad started to Tar- boro fora flask ofold Roberson Co. came by, he was asked to join in. Well, says he, “I’m taking things pretty easy.” says he you can’t fool the good Lord, and as for praying for rain you might get down and pray till yonr knees mortified, its not going to rain while the wind stays in the west, that’s certain.” Our crops are mighty poor Me SANDY GROVE.

It is warranted, if properly used, to wash clean anything that can be washed by hand. It will wash the finest lace or largest quilt. It can be put in nnd taken out of an ordinary tub in an instant.
