§Swcmt LOCAL DEPARTMENT. FRIDAY MOnNI 'O, NIIVKMII Kll M IMfi. —A rope walker gave an exhibi tion of his daring feats on the light rope, to the citizens of Buena Vista, on Wednesday evening last. —“Will the Kads count Hayes in, contrary to the wishes of three hun dred thousand popular majority 1" is the distressing conundrum now pro pounded to every wayfarer. —People who expect to get the Argus, without borrowing it or steal ing it, must pay for it in advance, henceforth. —Much enjoyment was experienced at the party and candy-pulling, given by Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Armor, on Mqpday evening last. We could not attend, but arc informed (hat all who went had a good time.* No ono can have any other sort at Mr.- Armor’s. Wo arc very sorry indeed to learn that two or three persons marred the pleasure of the evening by iudecorous behaviour. —Tilden’s elected, but Hayes will be inauguiated, is tho settled opinion of many in these parts. —The colored people held what they termed a fair in Miller’s Hall, on Saturday night last. Sometime during the night, some unknown par ties rocked the building, striking one ou the head and probably others. It was an outrage perpetrated probably by Radicals, to give their Northern allies another opportunity to wave the ensanguined male chimise. Tlie JLte of Lies, We clip the following from the At lanta Republican, a paper devoted solely to lying and Radicalism: ‘•Buena Vistula.,Nov. 6, 1876. “Editor Republican: “We, the Republicans of Marion county, write to you: paper to inform the Republicans ot the result of the election in our county. It passed off qnielly, and the eo ored people voted the solid Republican ticket—onlv five voted the democratic ticket in Buena Vista. At 12 o’c’ock, m., the Republi cans were 3,600 ahead. The Demo crats did everythin!; io prevent the Re publicans from voting. In the first place, the) did not open the polls until 20 minutes before 10 o’clock. Next, J. L. C. Kerr, Janies Walton and Lew is "'ebb would not allow the Republi cans I o oast their voles. Manv h-dto go home will out voting. Notwith standing, the cottniy lias gone Repub lican, which it tiev-r did before.” The leticr had no signature. The unblushing lying in it is marvelous. It is dated the day before the e'ection and claims that the negroes had {tolled a majority of 3,600 by dinner time, when there are only about 500 co'ored voters in the county, and only about 1200 voters in all, botli white and colored. Messrs. Kerr, Walton and Webb never prevented a single legally qualified voter from voting. Not a single truth appears in the article. We publish it as a falsehood curiosity, ■ O II- —•-& —■ SiiMKSay School lLeetwre. The eminent Baptist divine, Rev. T. C. Boykin, of Atlanta, (a., Bap tist Sunday School Superintendent and Evangelist tor the State, will ad dress the citizens of Buena Vista and vicinity at the Baptist Church, on Sunday morning next, the 26th inst., at 10| o'clock. He has with him il. lustrations of Bible manners and cus toms, and other objects of interest. The people of all ages are res pectfully and earnestly invited to at tend. All will be pleased with the lecture. The lecturer is a gentleman who has had many years experience in advancing the Sunday School in terest, and has achieved an enviable reputation in tins field o( labor. A special from Columbia, S. C., to the Atlanta Commonwealth says that a Republican Commissioner with re turns from Laurens county, showing eleven hundred Demociatic majority, refused for five days to deliver them and absconded, A warrant for his arrest was sued out by the Demo crats, and he was arrested. There are now about 15,000 Ger man Methodists in Texas. NI'IJINPIIt AFFAIR. Itrixlit lip'ii, Face* mid Illcitiint Slipper. AN OCCASION OF RARE ENJOYMENT. - The Social Party at Mnj. E.

Miller, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Ash hurst, and Miss Willie Miller welcom ed their guests to the hospitalities of the evening, in a manner gratifying to all, State Seliolaniiiij* Again. r Our School Commissioner would ngain call the attention of parents to a scholarship in the Slate Agricultur al College, which he is anxious to eonfor upon some young man in Mn rion county. He is Larful that some other county will get the benefit of this scholarship, unless it shall be ac cepted by some of our own young men at an early day. The appoint ment will be given to some young man, possessing a “fair knowledge of Arithmetic, English and Geogra phy” having good moral character and can arrange for his board. See him for terms. —ln selecting a jury to try Thomas Binion, for embezzlement., in the Fed eral Court at Atlanta, last week, a novel point was raised.
