PHILIP COOK.
Hon. Philip Cook,
This true and tried patriot,one of
the noblest of Georia'i sons, who
has been nominated to represent
the Third Congressional District,
in the 46th Congress,as the choice
of the people, arrived in our town
on ye terday, for the purpose ot
addressing the citizens to-day.
His name is placed to-day at the
head of our columne.and we want
everybody to come out and hear
him for themselves.
We are sorry to state that our
clever and highly esteemed friend,
Mr. Walter J. Griffith, left our
town last Sunday for Gainesville,
Ga., where in the future will be
his home. We.cannot see what
charm there is about Gainesville
to so frequently call our dear
young men away from their native
homes, unless it is such pure
health or such beautiful young la
dies, but we would attribute it
to the latter cause.
Keep kick.
ft.
■p We are very sorry to state that
W Mr. John Jinks, one of Taylor
* counties most prosperous farmers,
has been quite sick for the past
several days with bilious fever.
Mr. Willis Jioke,sonot Mr. John
Jinks, has also been veiy sick for
' several days past. We trust they
will soon recover.
►
Mrs, Fannie Schrimpsher, a
most estimable lady, fronierly of
Macou, Ga., but tor the past few
months having made her home,to
gether with her family at Palace
^ Mills, in Taylor county. On last
WJ^yesday evening this good la-
day, after a long and painful af
fliction breathed her last. She
leaves an affectionate husband and
three email childred,together with
a host of affectionate friends to
mour^tjneif ’loss. We tender them
our most sincere sympathy,in this
their sad bereavement.
Married.
At the residence of the brides
brother, Dr. Bryant, near Perry,
Houstoa county Ga., on Sunday
evening last, at 4 o'clook, Mr.
John Hartley, of Butler, to
Mae. IvARAif Stbwart, of Hous
ton county, Ga, The happy coup
le arrive,} in our town about dusk
od yesteltlay evening after a long
and wearysome ride by private
conveyance,'-when they were met
and congratulated by many warm
and kind-hearted friends. Mr,
Hartley is one of our most enter-
prisiog merchants, and we are
informed that his bride is one of
the must charming and intelligent
ladies of Houston county .and wil'
prove an hqpor lo our Society. '
A nether New Discovery.
After several years of a very goi
hatured, loose way of doing business^
1 discover, that I owe more persons,
than 1 don't owe, and that my credit
ors are signifying that 1 must settle,
or hunt new friends* And as 1 am
too poor to move, and furthermore
discover. that I am brought face to
face with the fact, “that something
must be did,” therefore make an
appeal to those who owe me,—espec
ially to those who hare tor several
years remained in arrears, feel ihly
groatful fur the patronage of the dear
public,and if we could all now square
up,l feel that 1 should bo glad enough
to treat all round, aud then like a
clever fellow go aloug aud have the
fun of the credit business, all over
again.
hope this will not bo taken as a
joke, aud 1 intend to so apply myself
to the subject, as that no such mis
takes will bo made.
So after dog-days, and camp-meet
ings are over, ehal 1 ImVe alt ear for
response. JOHN WALKER.

Howard Items.
Howard, Ga., Sept., 12th ’78.
Mr, Editor t Some time having
elapsed since we have aeen any
items in your paper from this
plaoe, we venture to send you this
communication. Should you deem
it worthy of your notice, publish
it. If not cast it into the scrap-
basket, and it will give no offense
whatever.
The farmers at present are very
buay gathering their ootton, and
notwithstanding the,, blustery
weather and the difficulty they
have had in getting hands to pick,
there has been a good number of
bales shipped from this plaoe. The
coru crop will turn out much bet
ter than was expected. Most oi
the fanners will make enough for
home consumption.
The general health of this com
munity is very good with the ex
ception of sore-eyes. This epidem
ic is very prevalent, and has ma
terially injured the schools.
Dr. J. W. Hall,our well known
physician has been very sick (or
some time past. We ars glad to
see. that he ie convalescing and
hope that he will soon be restored
to health.
Our village can now boast of a
debating society, which is proving
to be both interesting and ioetruo-
tive to the young men of the com
munity. Our Sabbath school is
also in a flourishing condition Un
der the management of Mr. C. J.
Grace, our efficient Superintend
ent.
Our merchants are wide awake
fellows and will suon be prepared
to supply their many customers
with new fall goods.
Mr. D. B, Brown celebrated his
fifth anniversary by asking his
friends to take tea with him on
Wednesday evening the 11th inst.
It is useless to say that the quan
tity of Mrs. Brown's wine, cakes
and jellies, was considerably di
minished as yoilr correspondent
wae there and whs as usual very
hearty. Mr. Brown-informed us
that he had lived so pleasantly
that he could hardly realize the
fact that five years had elapsed
since his happy union.
We also had the pleasure a few
evenings since of attending a so
cial gathering at Mr. L. D. Lock
hart’s. The occasion was one that
afforded much pleasure. There
were a number of young ladies in
attendance and their beauty was
sueh as to inspire the most timid
to converse with them and make
man bow eternal homage to the
fair sox. W. A. D.
