Joseph’s spacious advertisement calls
attention to itself this week. It will
doubtless bu seen and read before this
paragraph meets the reader’s eye, else
we would give a more extended notice
of his flourishing establishment.
We call attention to the notice of the
Milledgeville Manufacturing Company,
that appears in this issue. They are
now prepared, after a thorough renova
tion, to do various kinds of work on fa
vorable terms. See advertisement.
Cotton is doing finely in this county;
the corn crop is rather small, but what
there is of it is in good condition. The
wheat is troubled with the iust, and the
recent heavy rains have damaged it
Bomewhat. The rust has not yet at
tacked the stalk, but is thus far confined
to the blade. The crop will however
turn out short.
As the summer season approaches,
pleasure-seekers begin to inquire for the
springs and watering-places. All inva
lids and pleasure-seekers are requested
to read the advertisement of the Mont-
vale Springs, Blount county, East Ten
nessee. The water is excellent, and the
mountain air bracing; and a more desi
rable resort could not be mentioned.
For ra’es of board, &c., see advertise

One night last week some of the an
thracite representatives of the Vic. Wood-
hull persuasion indulged in a genteel
little row on tbe’premises of Ham. Brown,

prudence the better part of valor, he
made for the fire-alarm bell, summoned
the marshal, and tried to quiet the bois
terous rioters. Uo refused to let the
marshal arrest the rioters, and forked
over a dollar for disturbing the city
guardian’s nap.

unfortunately we were absent and did

Another Change.—The Central road
branch has again changed its schedule,
much to the inconvenience of every
body in this section. By the present ar
rangement we get no mails from Satur
day until Tuesday morning by this road.
The Savannah mail comes up to Macon
Sunday night, and lies over there until
Monday night, when it comes down to
Gordon, and arrives here at 9 o’clock.
It should be sent Monday morning by
the Macon & Augusta road ; and the
postal authorities ought to see to this
and make the needed change.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
To Farmers.—The season will soon
approach for threshing wheat, mowing
hay, See., and you must provide your
selves with suitable machinery for these
various purposes. Mr. W. W. Parker,
of Macon, has an extensive agricultural
depot, where all kinds of machinery suit
able for every purpose conceivable on a
plantation can be had on satisfactory
terms. All the latest improvements in
labor-saving machinery, mowers, reapers,
gins, threshers, presses, &c., are offered
to the farmers of this section. Read
his advertisement, and give him a call or
send your orders.
We have seen in the last few days some
fiue fish that were takeu out of the river,
and also several very large soft-shell
turtles. Fishing seems to be a profitable
business now in this vicinity, as several
have caught as many as three or four
dollars worth per day. This county
can claim superiority to most of its
neighbors, in that all its waters abound
with a greater variety of fish than can
be found elsewhere inland.
Quite a number of young people, we
understand, intend to visit Sparta on
Friday next, to be present at the tour
nament. Several Milledgeville boys
will take part in the riding, and we
doubt not some one of their number will
carry off the prize, as there are some fine
riders among them. Baldwin had only
one representative in the last tourna
ment in Sparta; and he, after being dis
abled, won the second prize; and we
warn the Spartans to look out for their
laurels when our battalion goes ovor.
The new schedule went into opera-
lion last week on the Macon Sc Augusta
Railroad. The morning train leaves
Macon thirty minutes later, (6:30) than
before, arrives here three minutes later,
but make up before reaching Sparta.
The evening train from Augusta arrives
here seveu minutes sooner (5:23) and
reaches Macon thirty minutes sooner.
As the track is continually on the im
prove, a much faster schedule >cau be •*
dopted after a while.
