Ofif. local Column t FRIDAY MORNING. Deo. 24, 1809. _ CHRISTMAS. To-morrow is Christmas day, and al¬ though it is as old as the Christian Era, it will be hailed by the little folks as a day of mirth and joy v Older nnd wiser heads view it in its true light-—as a warning that, it brings us all a twelve month nearer the grave. Tbe true .Christian rejoices that he has been spared longer to sow 1 one year the seeds of righteous, and do the will of his Master. The miser rejoices that it brings the time for settling up the usurious gains of another year. The printer rejoices that the time draws nigh when many of his patrons have promised to remember their little obligations to him, and the printer’s devil look* for his pocket change, with a grin of hope. ♦ • - Seed Barley, Rye, Oats and Wheat, Bacon, Flour, Lard, Boots and Shoes.

We Svelte visited on Tuesday, night by a regular thunder storm. The winds howled nnd the thunder roared, in a Hiercury resembling mid-summer, and the rose, and we threw off a por of the covering, turned over and away like a lamb. The Circus came, spread their can¬ vas, performed a little and dismissed a very large, ariixous audience, who left wiser and poorer than they went. Ex perience is an excellent teacher if we would but profit by its lessons, Santa Claus is in town nnd his head¬ quarters may he found at S. O. Shivers’. Dickson Fertilizer Company.— In our last issue we called attention to the card of this institution, but inadvertent¬ ly styled it the Dickson Compound company. The $hole thing, however, is so well known and tftiderstood in this latitude, that no little misnomer of ours would be likely to do i.ny harm. Every planter in Midd e Georgia is more or less familiar with the Dickson Compound, from having used it. Let it-suffice that it is now manufactured on a large scale, aud will be furnished in a pure and unadulterated form, by tha i ickaon Fertilizer Company and their agents.

We shall issue an advertising sheet for county circulation next week. The printers want to blow a little andjio do we. Ojur next full turn out will be on Wednesday the 6th of January. In the meantime we may be found at our office a» usual, ready to 611 out receipt, for thoae deairing them. We expect to commence iheNew Year with a large increase of circulation, and with renewed tiuorgy aud bright hopes for the Journal. We had to contend with numerous trials, difficulties and perplexi¬ ties, but thanks to the Deity that shapes our ends, so far we have proved master of the situation, and to-day the Journal occupies an enviable position among the country newspapers of Georgia.

Verily, Sparta is some on pa MMa' f " AuMCNTOJf—The countrymen crowd the streets and stores of the village, looking up toys and trinkets for the lit tic folks at home. The Barnes Bros. arc very popular with villagers and countrymen, and many n basket. loaded with Christmas presents are borne from their store by beneficent ‘-.Santa Claus” 7 he negro emigration has nearly ceased, though but. few of the laborers have made contiacts for another year. They wa >* tlic coming of January, The Sabbath Schools are making pre partitions for the con ing festivities. On Friday night the childre n of the Baptist School, after raising their childish voices in concert with her who sits the ‘Queen of all’—giving praise to Him. the Great, the Good—will while away the Christ¬ mas Eve in play and mirthfulness. Then, Tuesday comes, and brings with it a Christmas Tree, laden with those things which will chesr the hearts and gratify the desires of the good little children of the Methodist School. ’Tis like the soft utterance of angels to hear their little voices swelling and falling in sweet cadem e with their teachers.— God bless the Sabbath Schools and prosper them.

Cothern & Watkins opened a large stock of Christmas Goods yesterday. Sid. Shivers has just opened a large and varied stock in his new Store. Attention is called to the card of S.
