LOCAL POINTS.
The fourth and last quarterly con¬
ference for the Hamilton circuit will
be held at Waverly Hall next Satur¬
day and Sunday.
The Valley Plains Fair will open
Wednesday morning, and if the
weather continues pleasant a good
crowd will doubtless be in attend¬
ance. There will be a basket dinner
on the grounds, and all who attend
may expect a good social time in ad¬
dition to everything nice to tempt
the appetite.
Mr. W. H. West had his gin house
burned on last Friday night with five
bales of cotton on his plantation near
the river. Six bales were injuied,
but the extent of the injury has not
been ascertained. It is supposed to
have caught fire from a match in the
cotton, as the gin had been running
but a few minutes when the flames
broke forth. Loss $1,500. No in¬
surance.
The following item has taken the
rounds of the press: “A Georgia
paper says there is living in Hamil¬
ton, in that state, a gentleman of
robust constitution to whose system
egg is aoison. “Even the presence
of egg nauseates him.” It is presum¬
ed the gentleman in question once
essayed to play Hamlet, and the
eggs used on that occasion were over
ripe before they were pulled.” We
know the gentleman here alluded to
and know that if egg should settle his
coffee it would unsettle his hash.
Last Friday night the prisoners in
the jail filed through an iron bar of
the cage one half an inch thick and
were at the outer door ready to rush
through when the jailor made the
usual morning call with their food.
Fortunately, before opening the door
he heard them and promptly procur¬
ing assistance had them secured. The
cage was repaired and the prisoners
remained secure until Monday after¬
noon when a representative of the
penitentiary came for them.
Mrs. W. C. Sibley, state president
of the W. C. T. U. has written an
appeal to the people of Georgia to
observe Thursday before November
9th as a day of fasting and prayer for
God’s blessing upon the work m the
state yet to be freed from the liquor
traffic. It is suggested tint the
Hamilton and Chipley temperance
unions and all Christian people ob
serve that day. It precedes our own
election but a few days and while we
should include in our prayers every
part of the state under the same
curse, let us pray especially for our
own release. The effectual, fervent
prayer of the righteous availeth much.
There is much cotton yet in the
fields and it is very hard to gather.
The best hands fail fully one third
short of their average picking of
other years.
The (Jolumbus & Rome railroad
has carried to Columbus 4,454 bales
of cotton up to date this season.
The weather is unfavorable for
gathering cotton, but is admirable
for sowing small grain.
A finer cane and potato crop has
never been harvested in the county
than is now ready for gathering.
“How old are you,” said an ancient
dame to a grinning little tar pot.
“Well, if I goes by what mudder says
I is most ten, but if I goes by de fun
I’se had, I’se most a hundred.” Oh!
that all could measure their years in
this way, but how many measure
them by long night watches, and al¬
could most fatal coughing spells, which
have been cured by a bottle of
Rr. Bull’s Cough Syrup taken in sea¬
son.
BURIAL OF DR. MOBLEY.
A large concourse of friends gath¬
ered at the church on Saturday af¬
ternoon to pay the last tribute of
respect to Dr. Len Mobley. Shortly
alter 2 o’clock while the organ poured
forth a plaintive funeral march the
remains of the deceased were borne
into the church and placed near the
altar. A funeral discourse by Rev.
Bascom Anthony followed, in which
he ne testified testified to to the tne Hear clear Christian Christian ev ex
penence of the deceased and his
readiness to depart. Deep solemnity
sat on every countenance and many
unused to shed tears wept.
After the sermon the remains were
carried to the last resting place and
interred in the family burial ground.
Dr. Mobley was a kind, true-heart
ed man, unassuming in manner and
of noble impulses, He was the
brother of Col. J. M. Mobley, and
leaves but one sister, Mrs. Rachel
Radney, to mourn his loss.
The pall-bearers were Dr. T. Dr. J.
Brooks, CaDt. W. C. Johnston,
T. S. Mitchell, Dr. S. G. Riley, W.
H. West, H. W. Pitts, S. R. Mur
phey and J. L. Lovelace.

FINE ART.
Old man Riddle has the finest art
gallery in the South and it is almost
equal to a circus to see it. In his
new r rooms at the old place, lie has
the most improved machinery tor
making the most approved pictures.
He can get a perfect picture of the
baby in the twinkling of an eye, be¬
tween squalls, and the dear little dar¬
lings can thus be handed down to
posterity just as they are. \ou may
be immortalized likewise by a visit
to Riddle, next to the Rankin house.

greatest and best men of onr time. I
take pleasure in saying that I itarted

will not.
I now have (through the kindness ot
j Mr, Jas. A. Lewis aud oar Architect, Mr,
Gruzard) completed one of the best ar¬
ranged Galleries in the United States.
I have a magnifying “Lens” imported
from Germany, fifty six inches in cir¬
cumference, for copying
LIFE SIZE PORTRAITS,
so that professors and amateur painters
can be accommodated with any size pic¬
tures they may want.
Ptcenix like, I have loomed up from
the ashes, and s and better fixed to-day
than ever before.
In conclusion,I tharx you,kind friends,
for favors in years gone by, and hope by
a strict attention to my profession to
merit and command the same in the fu¬
ture. Your H’ble servant,
