Hood's town and Shanklc’s street, Segar’s Hotel with plenty to eat; There’s David’s daily, Bill Goss’ delight, Which is fresh from a goods box morning and night. There’s Alexander, but not the Great. Can make you a mouth-piece called a plate. Which answers a purpose when you go to eat, Unless you strike some old tough meat. We have had Birds, but now have Crows That light on a hill just back of the Woods ; We have no Stars, but have a Moon To give us light to catch a coon.

Ami before you return go see the Barber, A cross the street where the Hawks doth Harbor; A. Segar you can smoke while onward you more. For this is dedicated to Harmony Grove. —Quite a commotion occurred at tbe resi dence of Dr. Alexander on Thursday. A few days ago a Mrs. Watkins came to Dr. Alexander’s and engaged her services as housekeeper. Nothing was thought of this until Thursday, about 1 o’clock, when Mr. Elijah Watkins, of Banks county, put in a very ugly appearance in front of l)r. A.'s gate, he straightway alighted from his horse and with a pistol in hand and another in his pocket, marched into the house and demanded the whereabouts of his wife. She promptly made her appearance, and after cursing and swearing and tearing up the ground at a furious rate, he lifted his wife on an extra horse that lie had brought along it seems for the purpose, and went on his way. It seems that Mr. Watkins cares very little for the cost of calico dresses and bonnets, as he tore up and stamped them into the ground at a furious rate. We extend our sympathy to the lady, who seems to be a modest and respect able woman, and treated the gentleman as though it was an everyday occurrence. Norwood Club.

Resolved, That Gov. Colquitt’s administra tion has been characterized with weakness and incompetency, and that wo regard him as being unfit to govern the people and finances of the State of Georgia. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the Forest News, Atlanta Daily Post, Atlanta Daily Constitution, Madison Yeoman, Carnesville Register, Athens Watch man, Athens Banner and Gainesville Sou/Tr J.

Write to them without delay. Walnut Items. Mr. Editor : —Please pardon me if I write too often, but I know you want the few scat tering items from this settlement, I therefore write you again. Everybody is busy picking cotton and pull ing fodder. * Our friend Mr. Z. T. Duke is rapidly im proving. He has been sick nearly two years. We wish him speedy recovery. Messrs. Randolph A Sou have built them selves a splendid gin house, in rear of the court ground. They are now prepared to gin cotton with more ease and comfort than here tofore. We notice some splendid dwelling houses going up all around us, and new additions to the old one3. Prof. Hrown, of Banks county, has just closed an engagement at Barnett's Academy, where he has been teaching a singing school. The Prof, has gained many warm friends in this vicinity, and we regret to see him leave. One of your subscribers here wants to know if “Uncle Joe” is dead. If so, he hasn’t seen his obituary. This settlement is blessed with sweet pota toes. We have them daily. Eramigration from North Carolina still continues. Having tcorked our road three long, hot, sultry days, we are again called upon to work it over. We imagine ’tis the minority of the Road Commissioners running the machine, and not the majority. We would call the at tention of said Commissioners (this District) to investigate all the roads in their District, and see if they all have been worked. We know of two that have not, and need work very badly. Please look after this, gentle men, and don’t let your minds run principally upon one road that goes by your houses. “Gus” will tell us about his mountain trip, and in doing so, he will paralyze any man who attempts to refute his arguments. John Abner believes in geese. He has twenty head. He says they must hoe his cotton out next year. But one objection he has to the “gander”; says lie'll get off’ to himself and cry at the top of his voice, “Over Craped! Over Craped!” especially when there is any grass about, then stand on one leg, throw himself on his dignity, and drop his head under his wing and enter sweet repose. Walnut is coming out, and when we get the railroad through here we expect to run up a little town. How about the railroad, any way ? The stakes are all rotten and gone. How do you reckon they will ever find the route ? Our friend Thomas 11. Daniel is atllayes ville, Clay county, N. C., going to school. We understand he is perfectly delighted with the place, and progressing finely. Yours truly, Cousin John. Walnut, Ga ., Sept, id, 1880. Loaciiapoka, Ala., Jan. 12, 1880. Dr. C. J. Moffett —Dear Sir — Enclosed you will find 50 cents. Please send me an other packageofTeethina. The first package had such a happy result that 1 heartily re commend it to all mothers, as being all that a mother needs for a teething babe. My babe was one of these little nervous creatures— never sleeping more than fifteen or twenty minutes at a time. After giving the powder it quieted Lis nerves, and now he sleeps long naps.

Athens is a good market wo all know, ami one of the best places in that town to buy hardware of all descriptions is at Flemings.

Give them a trial, and you will not be disap pointed. iFWe call the attention of Legislative candidates to the fact that it will be neces sary for them to have some election tickets, and there is nothing like having your name printed on tickets and having them well dis tributed over the county and at the precincts on election day. We can print as good and as cheap as you can get them done any where. So give us your orders and be in time. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
