Tim (,'oi.umhus Times —This pa
per proposes, in view of the dvpres
•ion of husi. es* generally, to change
the Daily to the Tri-Weekly Times ,
until October the Ist. This is, doubt -
lees, a judicious move on their part,
hut wo shall miss the daily visits of
the Times very much, as it is one of
our most valued exchanges.
Mr. Howell s in tow n, and will
take your subscription. Call on him
and get one of ihe best papers in the
country.
Come up and Renew. —llow coi .
ven ent it will be to step into the
Journal office and renew your sub •

week. Call in and pay up arrears,
so that we may be able to accommo
date you in the future.
Fersonal. —ltev. Mr. Cowsert, fa
ther of our esteemed townsman, J.
11. Cowsert, is in town this week, and
contemplates remaining several days.
Many of our citizens would be glad
to hear him preach, and it is hoped
that he will be induced to make aD
appointment for some evening before
he leaves.
Washed Away. — We learn by a
letter from a gentleman at Eufaula,
Ala., that the bridge at Fort Gaines,
Ga , was washed away last Tuesday. ;
It took its departure for the Gulf
about half past 3 o’clock p. m. It
will cost several thousand dollars to
replace it. We learn also, that mills,
bridges, fences etc., were washed
away generally.
Ossahatchxe liiHDGE.—The abutt
tnents to this bridge were washed up
cn the 2nd of this month and were
replaced on the 3rd by Mr. Alford
Johnson, who went to work atones
and fixed them back for the benefit
of the public. This was very kind in
Mr. Johnson, and we are glad to
state that the commissioners will
cou "mate him for his von ’’ ' ugh

F. nr ihree-cei.ts is all the go now—when
a fellow wiites to his girl.
Young Indie**, like a liill ofot
ehange, should he settled at maturity.
Political caucuses will soon be in
oiil.r. Deliver ua from nil such
cusses.
Fish, now, bite eagerly at bait.
We suppose they arc like some peo
ple we know —easily gulled.
There is a merchant in town of sev
eral years standing—he ought to he
allowed to sit down.
Remember it is better to hurt a
person’s linger than his feelings —you J
can’t tie a rag around their feelings. |
The clerk of the court has anew
rake—we suppose lie will give the
court a raking over.
Nearly every married woman is
acquainted with a man who will sit
by the side of his wife urid seethe

It is now whispered around, that
this week w ill bring some nice fun to
the young people in tbo form of a
moonlight pic nio on College Hill.
There are many persons floating
on the surface of society who imag
ine themselves the creme de la crane ,
but are recognized by tbe dullest
mind as the thinnest kind of skim
med milk.
One dark night we heard a stum
bling pedestrian say: “Hit’s a dutn
shame that the town council of Ham
ilton don’t put up street lamps when
there is so much gas in the place.”
Plenty gras, but it don’t give light.
A young lady school teacher tried
to whip one of the boys, when he
threw his arm around her neck and
kisr-ed her. She went rgbt back to
her desk, and her face was “just as
red.”
“Should the law exempting nianu*
facturies from taxation be repealed?’’
is tbe next question for debate.
Largo manufacturing towns will look
forward to the deoinon with u great
deal of interest.
One of iEsop’s fables tells us of a
fly that sat upon the axlelree of the
chaiiot, and said: “What a dust we
do raise!” Ouce in awhile we ate re
minded of that Hy by some vain per
son.
The question fot debate, last Thins
Lav night, was : ‘T dancing wrong?’’
The President decided that it is not
wrong. \Ve regret this decision very
much, as our ‘ pump-” are worn out,
our “kids’’ the worse for wear, and
our “oluw-hammer’’ non tsi.
Here is the latest:
“Lunch, brothers, lmuh with cine,
Lunch in the presence of the b .rkccpr.ire,
And help yourself to the saarcnjaiie,
And touch very lightly on Ihe strong buttairs,
Anil pay your 15centou the msn’seountaire.
There is no good sense in charging
double postage on a letter contain
ing only a single quire of paper. A
yuuug rnau iu Hamilton will report
some of these postmasters if they
continue to charge his sweetheart
three cents extra postage.
Our streets, under the' new town
management, are very much improved
in appearance, and Marshal Robin
son, with a little money, can put
them in fine order. We hope the
Council will have an eye to this, and
let Mr. Robinson carry out the plan,
suggested by him, for fixing them up.
Wc notice seventy-five cents shirts
advertised in our city exchanges. We
shall never insult our manhood by
getting into as cheap a rag as that.
No! rather let us continue to deceive
an unsuspecting public with a paper
collar skillfully pinned on to the cra
ter of a close-buttoned vest.
True love and affection continues
to grow and flourish with the aver
age young man of Hamilton —three
of “our boys” mounted balaarrts and
rode out iu the country, that stormy
night, to repeat the “oft told talo’’ to
to the adorable. Two of the mules
wouldn’t “tote fair,’’ and a mixture
of mud and broadcloth was the result.
The following is anew scale of
postal rates:
A one-cent stamp for a circulair,
A two-cent stamp for a liewspapair,
A threc-ccnt stamp for a sealed lettair,
All licked on the right cornair,
Lick, brothers, lick with care,
Unless you want the postmaster,
To make things hot and ‘ ‘cuss and swear."
Judge Crawford thinks the Leg is
le ire ought to intervene—only seven
out of a pane! of twelve jurors claim
ed exemption for being road commis
sioner-. There were severaf others
who didn’t claim it, among them, one
from Cataula, and the boys say he
was afraid the Judge woul.lu’i, be
lieve him.
‘‘Oiig-vi •lope.”
“ The English language stands a
poor showing wiih a young lady
who wants to hulk big’. She will
call it ong-vc-lopc'if it ki Is her. ’
The above scrap appeared in the
columns of the Jout.v.u, a few weeks
ago, ami see to have touched a
tender spot with one of our fair l ead
ers. We can assure the “Georgia
girl” dial she can pronounce it ns she
pleases, and as she may bo one of
that class that it wilt kill not to “talk
big,’’ wo say, by all means, go ahead
with your “rat killing’’.
Here is what she says:
“By chance I recently saw a copy
i of the Hamilton Journal, and in it
j your criticism on the word envelope
(pronounced nn-v-lope, according to
French dictionaries.) by young ladies
in trying to “.alk big’’. In my opin
ion, an occasional French word iv far
preferable to slang, which the “lords
of creation’’ (observe quotations)
seem to think it their privilege to
use m ladies’ society, and which seems
to be sufficiently dignified to admit
of publication. Ladies, even, have
to keep continual guard over their
thoughts, that they may not make
use ol it, as ii seems to be infectious.
French words are used in all modern
productions, at least, in a good many,
but perhaps you read no light litera-
Uue. Would you supply a word for
“depot”, and many others? l’uro
English is most elegant, but give me
French in exchange for slang.
Yours truly,
“A Georgia Giui..”
A Centennial Cow.
A Calf Bides on llkii Back.
A gentleman ju&t from West Point
informs us of a wonderful deed per
formed by a cow at that place during
the freshet last week. The cow was
in a pen near tho liver bank, and her
calf wasin an adjoining pen. During
the rise in iliu river the water over
flowed the pen and Bashed the fence
away so that the cow got with her
calf, and was seen wiili the calf on
her back and bringing it out of deep
water. The pen was situated on an
elevated place, and it was necessary
for the cow to swim in order to cross
a ravine which intervened between
Ihe pen and the opposite bank; this
she did wiili the calf on her back.
On nearing the sh . e the stepped
into a ditch w hich caused her to stum
ble :>:ij throw the c.iil from her back,
but tl.e wau was sufficiently shallow
for the little fellow to wade out.
The above is told to us by a g'-nile
man as reliable us any man in the
C'-uuty, and will be testified to by
some of the best citizens of West
Point, who witnessed the scene. That
cow ought to be sent to the Centen
nial and receive donations of fodder
as liberally ns the cow that kicked
over the “Chicago lamp.”
“Aurelius.” —We publish a letter
today from North Georgia, and tire
glad to stale that “Aurelius’’ will
keep us posted as to what is going
on in that section. We have heard
of Dr. Folsom’* eye inflrma.y, and
hope he will give us a description of
it in his next communication. Our
correspondent is a well informed
gentleman, and we shall look for his
letter with interest.
Railroad Meeting. —On account
of the recent rain which caused the
train to stop running, the Roilroad
meeting which was to have taken
place in La Grange, on the sth inst.,
was postponed until the 12th. This
will conflict with Harris Superior
Court, as it will be in session at that
time, arid thus debar Harris county
stock troin being represented in the
meeting. Those who called the
meeting were not informed of this at
the time, and we are requested by
Mayor Cleghorn, of Columbus, to
state that the meeting will take place
on Wednesday, the 19th inst,, and
that he has written to La Grange
and Rome to that effect.
Foxy. —Our young friends, John
Bruce and Hugh Pritchard, went out
hunting a few days ago and caught
a red fox that measured five feet and
three inches in length. They had a
fine race of an hour and a half and
didn’t rut) down but two horses.
As this is court week we shall prob
ably sec our friend Pat, and will be
able to give our readers something
that w ill go ahead of the above.
Behoved. —Our neighbor, Colonel
15. 13. Williams, left last Saturday 'or
Georgisnna, v ere ho vriil be engaged
in the practice of law. Mr. W : barns
is a young man of splendid abilities,
sr. 1 we predict a bright future for
him iu liis new location. He has
many warm friends h ire who wish
him much happiness, arid will Oc glad
to Lear of Lis pro.-pc r:iy.
> i ns -Ritii: ton; t in: ,Jo urn \l. —Mr
John A Smi;li, of Onenl’s Mills, has
three c.ops of cotton on hand, and
has corn enough to do him the pres
ent year, nnd is unt in (hbt. Mr’
Smith psys the cash for what hog t-.
and the merchants smile when they
see him coining, lie is a regu’nr

Moral- Subsrcihe for the Journal.
Murder in Jail. —Tom Marshall,
a negro, knocked another negro
named Aaron Thomas, in the head
with a waslipan, from tho effects of
which he died. The affair occurred
in the Colomhnsji.il, and the Times
sa >
“Thursday afternoon, tho County
Physician, Dr. Pitta, discovered the
wounded man was growing worse,
and he called in Dr. Terry to see him.
They soon arrived at tho opinion that
lie was growing worse, and Thurs
day night he died.
The prisoners in jail who witness
ed the difficulty state that Tom Mar
shall and Aaron Thomas were quar
reling about something, and before
they hardly knew it, Torn Marshall
had picked up an iron wash pan and
knocked deceased in the head. The
pan is a heavy one, weighing about
ten pounds, and was used by Mar
shal! with both hands.
The death of the neg'O, Aaron,
prevents his entrance in the peniten
tiary, and puts Tom in the direct road
for the place.”
Superior Court. —The Harris Su
perior Court opened Monday, with
lion. M. J. Crawford presiding.
Among the members, outside the lo
cal bar, wo notice Messrs. Ingram,
Peabody, Hilliard, Little, Dozier,
Bianfoid, Grimes, Crawford, Burts
Thornton, Hatcher Pou and Rus

Harris and Stubbs from West Point.
Mr. Calhoun, from Geneva.
Other lawyers are expected to come

case is on the docket.
