SCHLEY COUJNTY NEWS. G. T. WALKER, - - - - Editor. PEHrCIPI.ES KEKSHS3 MEN. October 12th, 1832. PRiXTEHS’ DIFII.S. Old Satan, both kind mid civil, To efery printer lie gifs a difil; I3ut, balancing ackounds each Vinter, For efery difil dook a printer. Mrs. C. H. Varner is ill. S. A. Sellars is sick with fever. BEDSTEADS, in variety. Call. 15. A. Strange. Farmers are housing their corn and report that the yield is satisfactory. We have had an almost unprece dented pleasant month for gathering crops. C. R. McCrory, who has been con fined to hi3 bed with lever for three weeks, is up again. We have seen western rye sown re cently that failed to come up. Buy only Georgia raised rye or make a failure. Who lias any for sale? Some farmers speak of housing their potatoes for fear that rain M ill cause the sap to rise in them by delaying, and cause them to rot when dug. All home markets defied. Call. B. A. Strange. Judge B. A. Strange lias erected a most attractive and comfortable colo nade in front of his store and around on the north side. Correction. —In our last issue wo stated that J. 11. Stevens, Tax Collec tor, would be in Ellaville every Thurs day instead of every Saturday. Sheriff T. B. Myers is on the look out for county boarders. He proposes to furnish board and lodging to select guests from now until Court, free. As cotton picking is not in much demand and rations are rather high, it would be well for farmers to keep a close watch over their sugar-cane patches. Last Saturday morning when Dr. J. N. Cheney told Ilenry Dearseau that it was a boy, he reared back on his dignity and said, “Still another vote for Crisp.” GROCERIES! The place to buy. Call. B. A. Strange. Those who contemplate running for county offices and handing in their cards had best not delay too long. It is evident there bill not be anything made by delaying and you are likely to lose. We know 7 of a lady who by the aid of her two little boys, six and eight years old, has picked four bales of cot ton up to date, besides attending to all of her culinary work. Who can beat it? We find that it is a general feeling among the farmers to, not in the fu ture, sign but few notes that will be due sooner than the first of Novem ber, following, unless the right kind of weather and plenty of cotton pick; ers, cheap, are insured. A better plan would be to live on bread and water, for a while, at least, rather than sign many notes at all. Some of the Ellaville merchants are receiving an unprecedented stock of goods, and we expect those who con template handling theiristock fast will surprise the natives through these columns before always. Keep on the look out, for a merchant will not in vite you to examine an old high-priced shabby stock of goods, but leaves you to go on your own accord. It has been a custom for the last several years, for the people up on Buck creek to furnish the Coroner for the county; but as that people are so law abiding that they never need the Coroner’s services, and as there is neither money nor honor in the office, and the people in the lower portion of the county furnish all of the work for him, we think as a matter of conven ience the people above ought to hold off and let the people below 7 have one convenient to his work. SHOES! SHOES’!! Call, they are going. B. A. Strange. Mr. Ben. H. Wilkinson, of Sum ter county, has secured the Ellaville school for next year. We have been personally acquainted with Mr. Wil kinson for five or six years, and know whereof we speak when w r e say that we can truly congratulate the patrons for securing such a gentleman to in struct their children. He is well qualified. Morally, he is a model young gentleman, and will add to the circle in which he moves. Here is my JB@“ for your success, Bennie. A few days ago while Mr. G. D. Hays was tearing down his old crib preparatory to build anew and larger one, a large rat ran up his pants leg and when it reached the seat it brought a halt and began to bite. “Doss” did not know what it w : as, but caught it, pants included, in one hand, crushing every bone as he bounced his two hundred and twenty-five pounds of avoirdupois up and down in terrific speed, addressing his good wife, one cry after another, in “good God, Georgia.” She thought her husband had suddenly became crazy and was afraid of him. FOR TAX COLLECTOR. Thankful for past favors I again offer my self as a candidate for Tax Collector of Schley county, hoping that the good citizens of the county will appreciate tpe afflictions of myself and wife and give me their sup port in the coming election. Yours, very respectfully, anglltde J. If. STEPHENS.
