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, 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 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. Florida.
