A COURTSHIP.
My Dear Miss:—lf you’ll only be mine,
You shall have, every spring, anew liat;
And we’ll live in the cosiest rooms
To be had in the gorgeous new flat.
My Dear Sir—l don’t want to be yours;
Though, of course I should like the new
hat;
Yet I could never make up my mind
To inhabit a fiat with a flat.

Scm/EY was well represented at
the speaking in Americas Wednes
day.
Farmers are beginning to learn
that there need be no confidence
placed in the promise of hiring cotton
pickers.
We are informed that Wiggins will
have his mill running by the last of
this week, to the great relief of our
citizens.
The bridge at Baisden’s gin has not
be6n rebuilt yet; waiting on the move
ments of a saw mill, which works
quite an inconvenience to travelling
public.
Some of Schley’s cotton is moving
up to Geneva and Oglethorpe, for sale.
Those who carry it say they make a
handsome profit over the Americus
market.
It is not generally known that the
election for Governor, members of the
Legislature and State House officers,
will come off on the first Wednesday,
the 4th day of next October, not two
weeks off.
It was our pleasure to visit the wine
manufactory of Mr. William Allen.
His vineyard is quite large and is
quite a show, as well as his new r ma
chine, that makes the juice fly from
scuppernong grapes.
The amount of sickness throughout
Schley county is almost unprecedent
ed, there being scarcely a family that
is not afflicted more or less. Fever
of various types prevail and the phy
sicians have about all they can at
tend to.
Last Tuesday, the 19th inst., ush
ered in a ten pound boarder at ye edi
tor’s. He will be regularly installed
into the quill driving fraternity, and
will soon act in the capacity of “fight
ing editor” upon the News. Another
beau for some girl, and another voter
for Hon. C. F. Crisp for Congress.
The public debate came off at Ella
ville last Saturday, with Judge C. L.
Battleas Chairman. Subject: Resolved,
that woman’s intellect is inferior to
man’s. Jas.R. Williams ably defend
ed the affirmative, but J. M. Calum
and George Munroe, jr., won for the
negative.
We have never seen so much cotton
open in this country, unpicked, atone
time before, that we now see. Hands
are in great demand at fifty cents per
hundred and rations. Wo ere sorry
to see so much “log-rolling” among
formers to get hands, and so many
who worked all day last Sunday to
get them.
The effects of the recent storm are
more serious than we first thought,
upon cotton. Late crops, we believe,
are injured more from dropping off
than forward from being open in the
fields. The shortage, including quan
tity and quality, will amount to at
least twenty per cent.
t
Judge C. F. Crisp has resigned and
we know not who “Our Judge’s”
mantle will fall upon, therefore we
cannot say whether Schley will have
any Court next week or not, but prob
ably will not, as the Supreme Court
will be in session and many of the
lawyers will be in attendance.
Last week we noted the death of a
daughter of Mr. James Gilmore. This
week it becomes our duty to chronicle
the serious accident to about a seven
years old daughter of that gentleman.
While playing with some other chil
dren she climbed the wall of the
house, and in jumping she struck a
chair post and is now in a dangerous
condition. .
Mk. W. H. Boyle, of Ellaville, has
just completed the most unique piece
of handiwork, in the shape of a picture
frame, that it has ever been our pleas
ure to see. It is of an oval shape,
about twenty by twenty-four inches,
or larger, and is composed of three
hundred pieces in all—one hundred
each of china, rose-wood and mahoga
ny, nearly the size of a man’s finger,
morticed together with a pocket
knife. It presents a different view
from all sides. It will probably be on
exhibition at the Americus Fair, en
circling one of Schley’s most hand
some gentleman’s portrait.
FOB TAX COLLECTOR.
Thankful for paßt favors I again offer my
aolt as a candidate for Tax Collector of
Schley county, hoping that the good citizens
of the county will appreciate the afflictions
of myself and wife and give me their sup
port in the coming election.
Yours, very respectfully,
auglltde J. H. STEPHENS.
