Ellaviik Ga., October 26th, 1882.
How did the frost suit you last
Wednesday morning.
Capt. R. J. Redding, of Atlanta, is
sojourning among us.
Call and settle your notes and ac
counts —they are due.
B. A. Strange.
“Are you going to theshow?” is all
the go. It may be so, we really don’t
know. .
Everybody can have a chance to
pay their taxes during Court at Ella
ville next week.
Correction. —M r. Perry Peacock
was buried in the Ellaville Cemetery
instead of at Fellowship.
Since we are having a little cool
weather it is to bo hoped we will not
hear of so much sickness.
The interesting part of our politics
is just opening. It is found behind
the screen that creates county officers.
With the cotton crop turning out
rather short and the price so low, it
will trouble many farmers to “make
ends meet.”
Cane grinding is now the order of
the day, to the delight of all; or, in
other words, “the copies gwinc ’round
and the juice pouring.”
The many friends and admirers of
W. W. Singleton, editor of the Marion
County Argus, lament his sad death,
which occurred on the 19th inst.
Wiiiee you are taking down your
seed cane be sure to save more than
ever. Syrup is always worth from
fifty to seventy-five cents per gallon.
Next Monday Schley Superior
Court convenes, and on Wednesday
Judge C. F. Crisp will address our
citizens in the Court House. Don’t
neglect to hear him.
There is some of Schley’s cotton
still being shipped to Columbus. Our
home markets will pay as much for
good cotton as any, but those who are
trying it, say that, it pays to ship low
grades.
liEt every farmer be sure to sow a
patch of oats in November, as Spring
oats may fail, and the crop is of too
much importance to lose. Prepare
your ground well, fertilize well and
be ready in time.
Many- have gathered their sweet
potatoes and report that their crops
are good. The trouble now is keeping
them sound, and the idea is not to
cover them too closely at first, but
give them plenty of air, and at the
same time protect them from the cold
chilling air.
The comet that may be seen in the
east, of mornings, is creating much
talk and writing. Every exchange
has something to say about it. We
would, venture to bet our last season’s
hat that our wisest know but little
more about comets than our ancestors
did before breeches came in fashion.
Mr. Ben. E. Prevatt, our old friend
and school mate, and bride, are stop
ping over a few days among us. Ben
left us a feiv years ago, went to Flori
da, got rich, established the South
Florida Times, (a splendid paper) and
is now returning from Columbus Ohio,
where he recently married. Lots of
good luck to you, Ben.
“Peach Orchard,” the place
known on the Ellaville and Buena
Vista road by that name is no more;
but instead we have Putnam. Mr.
Putnam Stevens has succeeded in get
ting a Postofiice there, and, contrary
to expectations, the Postoffice Depart
ment named it, and very appropriate
ly, Putnam, after Mr. Stevens.
FOR TAX COLLECTOR.
Through the solicitation of many friends,
I announce myself a candidate for the office
of Tax Collector of Scliley county. I have
not time and deem it unnecessary to canvass,
and will rely upon my merits.
Respectfully,
oct2otde S. B. HALSTEAD.
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 the afflictions
of myself and wife and give me their sup
port in the coming election.
Yours, very respectfully,
auglltde J. H. STEPHENS.
