Rev. G. S. Johnston Jirenchocl
at the Methodist Church lust Sat
urday and Sunilay, it being his
regular aMiOiiTtlnont, to n largo
and appreciative congregation.
Wo had frost two or three times
last week, hut it was so light it
did no harm. /
Our beloved pastor requests
ono nnd all to come to the weekly
prayer meeting every Wednesday
night. Lot us have a largo at-
tendauco to morrow night.
We had a glorious rain on Fri
day last. It came just iu the
right time, for our guldens. Cot
ton that has been recently planted
needed it; and everything that
grows in the fields or gardens,
We had frost two or three times
last woek, hut it was so light it
did no harm. ,
The other day whllo in Mncon,
wo took dinner at Lanier House,
and ns we entered the dining hall
we found the table so well supplied
that wo were compelled to uc-
knowledgo that it didn’t look much
like a war in the East.
Moke Rtkat.ijjo.—.Mr. J. A.
Hollis, a prosperous young far
mer living a low miles from town,
informed us that on last Monday
night week, his smoke-house was
broken open and about ono hun
dred and fifty pounds of bacon tn-
kuu therefrom. Having recently
purchased his supply lor the year;
the greater part of which was sto
len, leaving him only about fifty
pounds. Ono of the negroes have
been arrested and is now under
bond.
• Our town is greatly pest with
chicken-eating lings. There is
great complaint among our citi
zens. Wo tliinlf thirt our legal
authorities should take hold of
this matter and stop it.
The ll'iir In the 1-Uud,
Russia and Turkey have had
some fighting, hut nothing ut all
decisive. The Now York Herald
predicts that all Europe will ho
drawu into the contest before it
closes. We think so too.
$11111,000.
Wo see that Gov. Cohpiitt drew
the above amount of money the
other day in Washington, from the
United States Government for tile
State of Georgia. It was money
owed the State by the Government
for the iiso of the State Road just
nftor the wnr.
Bfoutnlow Dentl.
W. G. Brownlow is (lend. lie
died at ltis home in Knoxvillo, on
the first of this mouth, in tho 72nd
year of his age. Perhaps no man
over hud as hitler enemies as he,
and as a sequence his friends
were equally warm. He had been
Governor ot his State and for six
yours » Senator in Congress.

True Hill.
We sec that the Grand Jury of
Fulton found tv true hill against
Mr. W. 11. Briscoe, for changing
a draft from §1,000 to §0,000
There seems to lie a good ileal of
mystery about the mutter, anil
from what wo see in tho Constitu
tion, wc are inclined to believe the
mun innocent of the charge.

Mr. Pe'er T.Mnntlort, (former

Our friend Mumford of tho

happy himself and making others
equally happy. Long life to this
Prince of good fellows.
Elite Wheat.
Wo are informed by gentlemen
who have seen it, that Mr. J. H.
Bivins, of this county, has wheat
that will make 40 bushels per acre
Think of it old worn nut red land

This Is otto of tho most, reliable

tho least, hut he is reliable eleur

We are informed that tho Sun
day school children of Butler,who
did not go to Macon Friday last,
are to have a pic-nic out at Fick-
lins’ mill, where all will have a
glorious time. This is right; let
thoso who didn’t go to Macon, he
sure to ho rendv,for they will have
a good time without a doubt. Mr.
It. Montfort says ho is going to
see to it, that they get out to the
mill.
San A way for tile Country’e
Good.
A man by the name of Simmons,
(better known iu this community
us black-berry Simmons) was ar
rested one day lust week, and
brought to Butler on a warrant for
vagrancy. He hunted up a law
yer whom ho promised a oow and
calf if he would get him oiTunti
tho regular term uf the county
eriinnial court. Tho lawyer took
him before tho Justice who order
ed him to ho turned loose on his
own recognizance. Whereupon
Simmons lolt, nnd did not stop
until lie reached Marion county.
Wo tire glad ho lias gone, ii he
will stay away from here where lie
has n living wife and children. 1:
he gets to stealing in Marion let
him bo tried for Bigamy. The
proof can ho made without a doubt.
This great Journalist is dead.
Ho was tho founder 0! tho Mobile

paper ot Alabama. Mr. Forsytli
was a native Georgian, son of the
great Senator, John Forsyth, who
illustrated Ga , in the* United 1
States Senate, during live stirring
time of Andrew Jackson. Mr.
Forsyth lived many years in Co
lumbus, where he edited a paper,

Commencement.
The students uf the college are
bogiuuiug to talk of (‘Commence
ment.” This is always an inter
esting time, hut from what we hear
it will be exceptionally so this year-.
Wo learn that President White
has already secured ono of Geor
gia’s proudest and most gifted
sons to deliver tho annual literary
address. Wo are proud of our col
lege, proud of its Pros! 'ent and
his able corps of assistant;. Tho
collego now numbers ono hundred
students.
Gov. Drown and Senator Gor
don.
These distinguished gentlemen
aro hnving tv “red hot” newspaper
war at present. Governor Brown
charges Senator Gordon ami John
Young Brown, of Kentucky, with
having formed a ‘capital contract'
witli Foster ami Stanley Mathews
of Ohio, to count in Hays, and to
count out Tiliien. And declares
that the people will hold Gordon
to n strict account lor it at the next
election. Senator Gordon denies
having anything to do with either
counting in Hayes, or counting
out Tildon, says ho was not a
member ol the House of Repi'estm-
latives, and consequently could
not have had anything to do with
tho matter. IIo seems to think
Guv. Brown desires his sent in the
Senate, hence this attack. llro.vn
says he will not he a candidate for
the Senate at tho expiration of
Gordo a’b time.
The Vonrenilon.
Wo think it would ho best to
call a nominating convention for
this District, (the 2fird) at Fort
Valley. Let each county send
ihmblu the number of delegates to
the nominating convention tlmt it
has members in tho lower house uf
tile Legislature. That would gin
Houston (!, Taylor ntid Crawford
2 each. Some of our people are op
posed to a nominating Convention,
hut wo think they would abide oy
it. But whether wo have a nomi
nation or not, let ns send good men
anil only good men. We are iu
favor of selecting the best men in
tho District, such as Gen, C. D
Anderson, Dr. W. A. Mathews
and Col. \V. L. Grice, of Houston,
W. S. Wallace, of Taylor, and
some good men front Crawford and
thou all vote for them.

Mr. R. Monll’ort tolil us yester
day of tho^trimgest fight tlmt wo

particulars as related to us by Mr.
Montfort. On the fifth, of April
last, Mr. *Jnckson ICirksey, who
keeps Mr. W. H. Fickliti’s mill,
in tfijs county,was standing in tho
door of the mill-hoiiNe, when he
