Wo mado a hasty run down to West Point Tuesday, and found the merchants of that place ready lor the big trade which they anticipate this lull and winter. The citizens ol West Point are noted for one thing it. particular limy me always alive to the interest of West Point end they believe in West Point as strongly as men can believe in anything. Iu this they arc right; this is public spirit. The public schools are flourishing, and are, as oyer, the pride ol Iho city. Thu people are devoted to them, and sustain them most hear tily. Wo louud Dr. W. P. Beasley in West Point engaged in developing tho mineral resources ol the country. At tho farm of Mr. Winston, two or three miles above West Point, on the river, there is a mino of asbestos, which Mr. Winston and Dr. 13 asloyuro digging. Several wagon loads have been hauled to tho depot this week; and it tho usbestos proves valuable, they will carry on their operations on a largo scalo. Some fine specimens ol corundum have been found on the same place, and also a large pure sapphire. Mr. J. W. MoLondon I as moved over into Al abama; so also has Mr. M. T. Walker, who iius just returned lrom Columbus with a sick son. Uluffion is increasing in importance every year. There are now three hundred votes polled there, making it the second precinct iu Chambers coun ty* Mr. Nolan has withdrawn lrom tho firm ol Smith, Iluguley & Nolan, aud the business is now carried on at tho old stand by Smith, Hu- guley & Co. Mr. J. W. Burdett will, in a few days remove his grocery store to tho large wooden building ou tho corner of Bridge and Hail road streets. Mr. W. C. Lanier’s brick residence is now completed aud is ono of tho haudsomest iu town. Mr. M. A. Turner, formerly of LaGrange, is d >ing a good tailoring business aud is giving general satisfaction. The citizens have hope of increasing tho pros perity of their town, nt no distant day, by hav ing tho Chattahoochee dredged. Col. Harris has promised to use his best efforts to have an appropriation made by Congress I or that pur pose. Nearly nil tho stores in West Point are filled. Mr. J. J. Hagedoru, with characteristic enter prise, has made arrangements to open another store at the upper end of Gilmer stieet, so that he can supply dry-goods from both ends of town. Messrs. John Havis & Co. have opened a new shoe stole next to W. E. White’s drug store; Messrs. Smith & Zaehry have opened a Htock ol groceries nearly opposite, aud there are several others. Messrs. J. II. Scott & Co., have fitted up oue of the haudsomest stores iu the place, next to their grocery, in which they are now receiving a big stock of dry-goods. This store will be under the immediate charge of Mr. W. T. Shep pard, with Mr. W. E. Osliu aud ot; er assistants. Thu people, so far as wo could learn, are pretty near unanimous lor Atlauti as tho capital. Here aud there you will find a man who thinks Atlauta is a sink of corruption because Bullock aud Blodgett run not with the public money after other parts of the State had sent the government there; but they are lew and lar between. Tho people of West Point are too thoroughly imbued with a spirit ol progress to want to return tho capital to so inaccessible a place as Milled, eville; They are all in favor of Gordon for the Senate. Wo did not hear one wold iu opposition to him. and wo are ol the opinion that the candidate lor the Legislature who warns to gel West Point votes, will have to bo a Gordon man. The Young Men’s Christian Association is do ing well. The oflicurs are elected quarterly,and Major W. S. Juoknou was elected president ast Monday night. Hu is one ol the most active and efficient members, and will make an excel lent presiding officer. The old and middle-aged men lake an active interest in the Ass •fiution work. Tuis is as it should be; aud in this they set an example to that class of Christians iu La- Grapge, only two or three ol whom take an in terest in this work. Ou Monday night, ltev. George G. Smith, of LaGrange, who was visiting West Point in tin interest ol his book, gave a lecture on “Method- i*ui in Georgia.” L'he people were greatly pleased with tlm lecture, aud think very highly ol Mr. Smith’s abilities. Wo enjoyed the hospitalities ol that tin st hos pitable gentleman Capt. J. W. F. L.ttle, aim spent a very pleasant evening at his house.

The A pin ching Exposition President's Office, ) Western Georgia Fair Association. > Get. 10, 1877. ) Atrny l.orn I Nqulbi. Mrs. Kmntnoilliivn Taffo, well known in La- Grange and a daughter of tho late Mr. J. J. Owen, died, after a brief illness, in Vicksburg, Miss,, on the 3d of this month. The heel market is good in LaGrange; prices eight and ten cunts a pound. Butter, eggs and chickens are scarce, but there is more cotton coining in than wo can eat. Homo of you farmers’ wives uiul daughters, ean get twenty-five cents a pound tho year round lor good firm, yellow butler. Tho white, tal lowy stuff sometimes offered for sale, will not bring a good price. Services were held at all tho churches last Sunday, morning and evening. The Augusta Chrouiolo & Constitutionalist ys: "A racy, pithy speech upon tho capital from Wot Tuggle, Esq,, of Troup, would bo highly appreciated just now. Let’s have it.” A hard rain foil early Monday morning doing more damage to tho cotton. Tho LaGrange merchants nre buying cotton in n lively manner. LaGrange is a better mar ket now than over before. Mr. J. T. Perry uses a lino desk of his own manufacture. Mr. Meigs is receiving more new furuituro for the Situs House. Mr. It. P. Johnson has opened tho wooden hotel—tho Johnson Iiouso—under promising auspices. Mr. Benjamin Forbes lias returned to La- Grange, his former homo, ou a visit. Fresh lish come to town occasionally. When you see tho wary opossum come nto town, with his tail in a split stick, you may bo sure he is iu favor of tho hulls of his fathers. Ghiuky pins are ripe. (If you don’t like that way, spell it yourself.) The timo lor hen-roost raids is almost hero. The year is drawing to a close. Have you paid the preacher us well as your other debts? Mr. G. B. Mims has returned from Now York. Dr.lt. D. Spuldiug came down lroin Atlauta Monday. Aud tho sorghum mill goes grinding on. Sweet potatoes are needed iu this market. Mutton sells for teu cents n pound nt the butcher stalls. It would pay somebody in this hborhoed to raise sheep. However, they are all raising cotton. The mornings are cool aud bracing. The LaGrange merchants can offer advanta ges to buyers; hence they are almost all repre sented in tho Reporter. Don’t fail to read tho announcement of the Western Georgia Fair Assocition. It is of in terest to all. Mr Gns Reid, Jr., has tho agency of tho New Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine for Troup county. You just ought to see how anxious tho La- Grange buyers are after cottou. This is the place to get good prices. Northern onious and Irish potatoes are selling iu LaGrange lor two dollars a bushel. Wouldn’t it pay some ol tho Troup tanners to raise these articles and ko*p them till fall? However, we believe they are raising cotton. “Umtried Shirts.” Some of our readers who saw Ilagedorn Bros’ advertisement last week, doubtless wondered what was meant by ‘‘undried shirts.” Hagedorn Bros, wrote it ‘‘laundried shi ts;” but in mak ing up the form the first two letters* dropped out and left the word “undried.” You’d better go aud see what sort of Hhirts those are,auyho\v. Please Notice l Being hampered lor room we lack the facility of making a sufficient display of our stock ol shoes and boots, so we let you know through the Reporter that we keep as complete an as sortment of them as of any other stock ol goods in our line, and are prepared to sell them at bot tom'prices; moreover, we will sell you an article which will give satisfaction, and will warraul every pair as represented. Hagedorn Bros. Shirts. Mr. E. F. Shropshire, of Atlauta, advertises ehirts’mado to order, and guarantees fits. Every person has, at some time or other, felt the iucou- venienoe of haviug shirts that would not lit, uud henoe Mr. Shropshire’s guaranty strikes a re sponsive chord iu every man's heart. Ed. Reporter: Will you kindly allow space lor the following: Tho Executive Commit tee of the Association have wisely concluded to hold au exposition at our new fair grounds ou the 31st iust., and iu behalf of tho Associa tion a cordial invitation is extended to all who may leel au interest iu promoting tho cause ol agriculture aud its kindred branches. While it is regretted that circumstances which we could not control have prevented us from holding a regular fair this lull, still ho exposi tion contemplated is susceptible of doing im mense good. A great point is gained when the agricultural possibilities of a country are un derstood. Some are raising tine stock; some are producing large crops of cereals; some ot cottou and others ol the grasses. Now what we desire is au exchange of ideas, that tho discoveries aud acquirements ot the individual may be possessed by the aggregate. Tuis can be accomplished by the uiiugliugof our farmers, and discussing the best modes of culture, bust kinds ol seeds, &c. At the exposition we wish everybody to come - come in your vehicles of every description— cume ou horseback or afoot—aud bring your lunch oaskets with you—and bring uloug your best specimens ot live stock, whether thorough breds, grades or natives. Wo will have stables or enclosures ready to reoeive them. Bring poultry of every description, iu trios it possible; put them iu coo| s whioh you cau readily construct on your farms. And ot agricultural products bring something of everything you have—wheat, rye, corn (flue ears),oata iu sheaves or otherwise, barley aud specimens ot every kiucl of Iruit which you may have. Aud us bee ouliuro is a growiug interest with us, bring specimens ot honey, in boxes, as made by bees, if possible, aud tell us the best plaus of uiuiiagement uud how you are succeeding. And to the ladies wo would say, bring speci mens of all kinds of domestic manufacture, the products of the loom, the needle and the dairy. The exposition hull will be ready by the day indicated. The ladies may be assured that their urtieles will be well eared tor, and displayed to the best possible advantage. Aud again we say come aud bring your wives, your daughters, your sweethearts, aud have a grand good time, aud it will doubtless open the way tor the best fair next year ever held in Western Georgia. There will be no charges for outrauco. H. II. Cary, President. Uxb.iblliolt* [The following was received last week, but too late lor publication.] On lust Friday evening a gay aud festive owd assembled at Maiiutville to attend Mr. Will Dozier’s exhibition, it was held iu the air.

All ibw compositions were good aud showed considerable thought. Miss Jeauie Brudlield received many compli ments, deservedly too, lor she read splendidly. Tin* speeches aud dialogues were all good and well delivered, aud reflected gr.*at credit on both pup 1» aud instructor. Mr. Will Dozier is oue ol tho most promising young men ot La- Grange au seems to be very popular with the people ol Mouutvillo. His exhibition needs no commendation to those who were unable to at tended, aud to those who were unable to attend we can only say they missed one of tho best en tertainments it has been our privilege to attend in a long time. Visitor. Mnrrlngn. This morning at nine o'clock, Mr. W. II. Burke, ol Atlauta,was mairb d to Miss Hallio P. Citb.tiiisH, of Forsyth, at the latb r’s residence.

Tho bride is a daughter oi tho late Hon. E. G. Cubauiss. Cotton In LaOt'imgc. Nuvor, since we have l.ved here, has there been so much activity in tho purchase ol cotton. The merchants are nearly all buying, and the) make it lively for tho regular buyers. On Tues day cotton brought ten and live-eighths; to-day it has not been so high, but one lot brought ten and a quarter cash. LaGrange is doing butter tbuu formerly; bring on your cottou.
