The oyster and buckwheat cake will soon have to go. March is nearly gone, and only the big rasca Is have been turned out. Atlanta’s electric lights are now turned on every night. ~~YVc hear of some sickness hut hope it may not be fatal. But few of our citizens attended court, only those having business in court. There was a hop at the Owens House on Wednesday night last. Meningetis is getting to be quite an ep¬ idemic ir. Atlanta and other places. It will soon be time to get your fishing tackle ready for the summer campaign. The pi os pec t for flowers on decoration day, is now rather gloom)-. The Wizard Oil men were here, last S week, and gave open air concerts to large crowds every day. The funeral services of Rev. J- J- Groves took place on last Monday, and were largely attended. Let us come together and organize a joint stock company, and get Coi. Simms to build us an opera house. Trade is distressingly dull except in the provision line. Farmers and their hands are busily engaged at work. Augusta has a brick yard which was es¬ tablished in the year 1821k ai.d lias turned out over 250,000,000 brick.

The way to sleep is to think it is time to get up.—[Griliu News. Elias Hainan, the great southern agri¬ cultural machine and plow man, of At¬ lanta, made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, last week. Covington ought to haves savings bank, which would inspire everyone to t-ave a little of their earnings, fora rainy day.— It would be a good institution. It will not be Many more months until the whole of the burnt district, on the north side of the park, will be rebuilt with hnndsoKie brick houses. Prof. Otis Miller, the art craio painter, after having a successful run of business in Madison, has now gone to Miiledge ville. The Madisonian says the Morgan coun ty grand jury issued about 800 subpoenas, j that during nearly the recent ad of term them of the in court, and J j were one case, The partial eclipse of the sun came off on schedule time, on last Monday morn ing, and was viewed by everybody who could procure a piece of smoked glass.— It lastsd for several hours. The citizens of Griffin petitioned their city council to repeal the ordinance tax¬ ing drummers $10 a year for selling goods by sample, in that city, and the council promptly repealed it. 80 our sister city is again free to the commercial tourists. Nothing exceeds in conspicuousnesa the amount of advice tendered by the repub¬ licans to the incoming administration, uu less it b# the indifference with which it is received. Business men do not seek ad¬ visers among bankrupts. The southern vote for restoring Gen Grant was 24 in the affirmative and 58 in the negative. Dargan, Braton, Tillman Dibble, of South Carolina ; Nichols, of Georgia, voted for the resolution. Hemp¬ hill, of South Carolina; Blount, Buchan¬ an, Clements, Crisp, Hammond, Reese, Turner, of Georgia, voted against it. Hon. F. C. Foster, of Madison, was up on legal business last week. •••••••#a The pic nic season will mon bo. here and then the little folks wilt be happy. The song of the Wizard Oil men is no onger heard in the land. “Sslah." A negro man was frightened to death by a eat, in Atlanta, one night last week. The pictures of Mr. Thomas F. Bayard resemble Col. James H. Blount, of Macon. Local news of interest is almost as scarce as change and hair oil in an aver 1 age city barber shop. There have been few colder morningsl the past winter than that of Monday morning, 23d of March. The continued cold weather the past week btought pleasure only to the wood haulers and coal dealers. Spring is said to be modest. If this is true, can you wonder why she is so back¬ ward, when winter lingers so long and lovingly in her lap ? Hon. A, M. Speer, dropped in last week, and was busy shaking hands with his numerous friends. He is remembered by many as a fearless and upright judge, impartial in his administration of justice. A Griffin man claims to have had a cat which kept his family supplied with spring chickens, by foraging around among the neighboring poultry yards, and bringing the chickens home to be cooked. But, as we have remarked before, Griffin is a progressive town. The Wizard Oil men have left. Their stay in our town was enjoyed by our citi¬ zens. Their open air concerts, at night, were attended by quite a number of ladies, and all seemed to enjoy their perfor¬ mances. The small boys and large ones also have made great efforts to annihilate the poor little red breast robins for the last week.— A few iiave been killed, but thousand, not touched, have been driven away by the incessant effort to kill them. Dr. T. N. Pitts has taken charge of the Covington hotel, and will hereafter be found in charge of this popular hotel.— The doctor will no doubt make it a pleas¬ ant home for the traveling public. The election held on la t Wednesday, for a member of the board of county com¬ missioners, to till the vacancy caused by the failure of Mr. J B. Meadors to qualify, rotiultecl in theclevtion of Mr. J. C. liken, 0 f Snapping s-hoals. The vote was very light, and there was no opposition. The ladies of the .Memorial Arsocia tion of Covington, and all others interest e l in the decoration of the soldiers’ graves on the 26th of April, ‘ are respectfully mToLfmAA^ni'to' noon, March 27th, for the purpose of ar¬ ranging i n tile services on .Memorial day. It is hoped that every lady in Covington will attend. —— Col.

A-it was thought to be improper to ruffle off the cake, Col. Womack went around among ihc boy s and collected a quarter of a dollar from each one and gave the money (S3.50) to the ladies for the cake,— The boys then drew straws to see who should have it, and Col, Womack drew tho fortunate straw, and took the cake. For this the effort was made to indict tho whole party. But of course it failed. The colonel says he is now satisfied he is as lucky as he is good looking, and that is saying a great deal—for his good luck. Some Interesting Weather Statistics, Mr. Joel Ellington, one of the oldest cit¬ izens of our county, gives us the following statistics of the weather from 1828 to 1849, which will be found quite interesting at this time. He says : The winter of 1828 was very warm, and at Christmas there were plenty of cotton blooms and greon grass. The cattle found gond grazing until long after Christmas, j n 1829, a lilaek spot appeared on the which remained for sometime. It could be plainly seen with the naked eyes, by looking in a tub of clear water. In 1833, th* great phenomenon of the failing stars occurred, and many people were badly frightened thereby. In February, 1835, tfie great cold Satur¬ day occurred, which killed large trees in the forest, and many persons froze to deah All the China trees in Newton county wers killed, except one, near Oxford. The year 1819 was a fine crop year, but it did not rain from July until Christmas. The year 1845 was the great dry year all over the state, and the crops were almost a total failure. Big Gum creek, in New¬ ton county, dried up and stop]>ed running as far dowi as the BenneMEdwards place, where it is now a large stream. In 1849, on the night of the 15th of April, a heavy frost fell throughout Mid¬ dle Georgia, which killed all the wheat and other vegetation. Even laige trees in the forest were killed by the extreme cold. Mr. Joe F. McCord, of West Cov¬ ington, will connect his residence with L’sier’s court room, in the Star building, by telephone, in a lew days. Personal Mention. President Cleveland has issued a proclamation. It is rather an inti-boomer. 1 he Russians have abandoned Akrobat. This evidently means that the ctar has ‘‘tumbled to the English racket." Rev. Henry Quigg, of Conyers, does not agree very fully with Rev. Henry Ward Beech¬ er's idea of evolution. Hon. N. J. Hammond, our efficient represent¬ ative in cougress, wasm town last week, hands with his many friends in our city. Miss Mary S. Varnum, of Jonesboro, who been spending a short visit with friends Newton Factory, returned home on yesterday Col Emmett Womack, accompanied by wife and little daughter, Miss Nellie, left on day last for the New Orleans exposition.

Jones, one of the oldest ists in the state, has baen with 11s for days, representing the Southern World, of lanta, and writing up the matters of about our city. Mr. W. T.

Mr. John H. James’ bank building, in Atlan¬ ta, was destroyed by fire on last Wednesday morning. Two men, Mr. J. II. Canfield and Mr. Ed. Mercer, both lost their lives in the lire. Mr. Canfield was burned to death, end Mr. Mer¬ cer was blown up by a gas explosion, and was so severely injured that he died on Sunday. The block will be re.built at once.

Our superior court was only ir* ses¬ sion three days, last week, and then adjourned over until the reijular Sep. tember term. Seven colored prison¬ ers plead guilty to minor offenses, and wero sentenced to various 10 rum in tho penitentiary and chain gang.— The jail was cleared, and a number of other cases disposed of. Rev. J. W. Quiltian, of Athens, died in Ox¬ ford, on Thursday last. Some time since he came to Oxford for the purpose of nursing a sick brother, who was a student at Emory col¬ lege, and, while doing so, contracted the disease which resulted in his untimely death. Mr. Quillian was a prominent and able minister of the Meth¬ odist church, and his death has caused a deep sorrow among his hosts of friends all over Geor gia- His remains were carried to Athens for burial. Thousands Say So. Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan., writes: “I never hesitate to reccommend your Electric Bitters to my customers, they give entire satis¬ faction and are rapid sellers.” Electrie Bitters are the purest and best medicine known and will positively cure Kidney and Liver complaints.

BROOKS A IVY. “Little Red Hair.” [The following sketch was written in memory of the little daughter of Capt. t-ieo. W. Deed, of Harlem, On., who died a few weeks ago, when the snow mantled the earth, typical in its immaculate purity, of the faultless character of the sweet little girl which they familiarly called “Red Hair.” Capt. Reed is the proprietor of the supper house, at Harlem. The little girl was a great favorite w itli the railroad men who stopped there for supper, and the following was written by one of the passenger conductors, who saw her almost every Jay, and had formed a strong at¬ tachment for her on account of her bright and cheery disposition. Its lender pathos but expresses his deep sorrow at tire loss of his little favorite.— Ed. Star.] ‘‘Come down here and cross, or you will get washed away. I’ve tiled a bridge for you, for I toll you, we have had a real flood,” he said, as he threw a plank over ■the walk for the passengers to cross tin running water, caused by the heuvv r.i.t which had just fallen before) lie train stopped in front of the sapper house. He was, and had been tor several years, the proprietor of the railway eating house, and was famous for the splendid suppers he always spread for the passengers. The many travelers who have enjoyed his princely hospitality once, will never fail to do so again when travelingover the pop ular “Stone Mountain Route,” as they are always sure to receive a generous welcome from the honest and joyial captain. He always njet us at the front gate with a pleasant smile and a cordial hand grasp, and we would kiss the little auburn-hair¬ ed girl, pinch her rosy cheeks, and ask her to let us see her pretty blue eyea — She was his pet and ours. If the weather was fine, knowing what a signal from “ 37 ” meant, she always ran out with him to meet us. The weather had been bad for some time, and we had not seen the ‘ little red haired girl,” (as the boys called her,) for several trips. One night, as usual, the conductor asked for “Little Red Hair,” and was told site was sick. “No, we don’t think she is dangerous,” her father said, w ith a smile ; “I think you may look for her out very soon ” The t ex trip down we missed the tall a in cheerful fa>-e ofnur frie d theeapt litt, at the front g-Ue. The gate had not been opened, and without knowing why, a feeling of uneasiness came over us. We handled the hitch nervously, and enter¬ ed with ;t sad aod solemn tread. We had always'had the gate opened for us, and we wet« troubled to find n etosed. The sappm ro in w. i p: co, Pm the house was darkened A g o m had settled over the place.
