Middling cotton 10|! —Look out for jack frostl —Good middling cotton 102 l Cider and northern apples will soon be in demand. A ladies went out to hear Governor Colquitt speak. Ihe crowd was a good large one last Saturday night. Corn shuckings and red liquor will be ripe in a few day*3. I think everybody is getting disgusted with so much politick. —The cotton crop will be nearly all out by the first day of November. —I want to here Messrs. Bell and Speer speak, and then we will end the chapter. —Some of our citizens are speaking of visiting the King's Mountain Centennial. —A long political speech don't worry voung people half as much as a one hour sermon. —lf news don’t get better, I intend to. publish another wedding in about three weeks. —Capt. A. T. Bennett was in town last Saturday evening. It was a good day for the candidates. —Jackson, Madison, Franklin and Banks counties were well represented here last Saturday night. —Hon. Emory Speer and lion. 11. P. Bell will address the citizens at this place on the sth day of October. —Our merchants arc paying the Athens prices for cotton, aud occasionally they get from | to i cent above them. —The appearance of our Sheriff and his Deptuty on the ground last Saturday night kept the Norwood boys quiet. —Cotton is coming in rapidly. The gin here has been running night and day for a good portion of about two weeks. Mr, C. W. Hood has received anew engine, and will start another gin at the Cromer place. —Mr. W. B. Barnett threw a rock at a cow last week, and the result was beef, and was sold at living prices. This was all very well, but Dr. Alexander thinks there is getting to be too much competition in this line for him. —One of our young men is singing this kind of a song now. I will not tell who he is : “ Never tell a girl you love her, Till you think her pa is willing; Never tell a man he is honest, When you think lie is a vidian.” The Colquitt boys made the biggest racket last Saturday night, notwithstanding the re port that had gone out that the Norwood party were going to “ hiss” the gentleman down and out of town. The report was un founded. —We have all heard both sides of the question now on the Gubernatorial question, and no doubt we will have less excitement. No doubt but that nearly every man, woman and child have made up their minds as to whether they will vote for Norwood or Col quitt, and now let’s go to business. Parker, O'FarreM & Cos. We call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement of this firm in this is sue. When you see a man advertise you may set it down that he wants to trade with you, and in order to do so he will offer you inducements. Now, this is true of the firm of Parker, O'Farrell &, Cos., of Athens. They want you to come and see them and look at their stock. These gentlemen commenced business a little over a year ogo, and during that time they have built up a trade that is truly remarkable, taking into consideration the fact that they did not open business under superior advantages. From the first their motto has been " quick sales and small prof its:” Buying iu large quantities, and from first hands, they have been enabled to offer bargains in everything that they handle. From the start, they sold such large quanti ties of goods, and at such reasonable figures, that all who bought from them came back again, being well pleased with their treat ment. Now, this firm ranks among the first business house in Athens —especially in gro ceries and provisions. lon can't get bot tom figures upon goods in Athens until you have foilndout what Parker, O’Farrell & Co.’s prices are. We insist that you read their ad vertisement ; see what they have got, and then call upon them when you go to the city. Their store is up above Heaves, Nicholson A Co.'s on the corner. You will find oblig ing clerks to show you what you call for. Among them is John B. Brooks, so well known to most of our readers. John will take pleasure in waiting on his Jackson coun ty friends. Nothing, iu fact, gives him more pleasure than to inform one of his old acquaintances that lie can sell goods just a leetle” bit lower Ujan any other clerk in Athens, and he will, if you tell him what you want. As to their stock we will say nothing, only go and see it; it is there to speak for itself, and they have bought it to sell; go And sec -them. You will find what you want at bottom figures, and clever men to serve you. G U April 12, 1878. pu. C. j.

M e all know that for several years past Athens, our commercial center, has been growing rapidly. Ever since the completion of the Northeastern Railroad she has been increasing in prosperity until now her im portance as a market has made her a repu tation that is highly creditable. With the increase of business, new firms sprang: into existence to compete for the growing trade. Among the latest to enter the field was the firm of Baldwin A Burnett, to whom we de sire to call your particular attention. Both members ot this firm are experienced dealers in boots and shoes, having been in the busi ness for over ten years. Seeing that among the large number of new stores springing up that there was none tiiat glealt exclusively in boots tfhd shoes, and knowing the impor tance and magnitude of the trade, they promptly entered the breach and put out be fore the eyes of the astonished Athenians one of the best and largest stocks of shoes and -boots that had ever been seen in the city. Their success was remarkable. From the first, their trade was good. Being men of vim and enterprise, they pushed their busi ness until it has assumed large and growing proportions. The firm is like the shoes tHey sell—they wear well and long. Now, they have as handsome a lot of boots and shoes in their retail store as you will find in the State of Georgia. Possessing experience and unusual facilities for buying, they keep the best boots and shoes and the latest styles. Besides their retail department, they keep a large stock in their wholesale department. To this branch of their business we desire to call the particular attention of those who de sire to purchase in large quantities. They can and will put any kind or quality of goods to you a3 low as you can buy it in Atlanta or any other city. All they have to do to con vince you of this, is to Call and price their goods. Being satisfied, and knowing exact ly the quality of goods they deal in, they are willing and Will warrant their shoes in every particular. As to their reliability, wo know them to be strictly upright and sterling Bus iness men. Drop in to see them when you go down. You will meet with kind and clever treatment. J. H. Huggins. Tiiis sterling merchant has a card in this issue to all of his customers—and who has not, at sometime in his life, bought something from Col. Huggins? He only gives you a suggestion*as to what he has got in iiis big store. We were in there the other day, and it was full, and he told us that it was not all in y*et. He is making a big run on crockery and china ware. He buys in big lots, and can give you the bottom figures, and suit your fancy as to style, &c. The other departments of his store are “ full up” with new and attractive goods, with prices marked down to the very bottom. lie keeps a little of most everything that you can call for, and he knows how to please his customers. When you go down, don’t fail to go and see him. lie keeps at the same old stand, and will deal fair and justly with you. A Card llomer, Ga., September 23d, 1830. I gave Mr. D. T. Bush a certificate last Monday, the 20th inst., stating that I had no letter in my possession going to allow that lie was in favor of no one voting for Senator unless he was a land owner, or being a Sen ator unless he was a land owner. Mr. D. T. Bush, in a conversation some four or five years ago with me, did say that the "Senate ought to be composed of land owners entirely, and.that land owners only ought to be allowed to vote for Senator. If my memory* is not greatly at fault, he further remarked that there ought to lie a Constitu tional Convention held, and that law in corporated in the Constitution. In justice to Mr. Bush, I will say his position had reference to South Carolina, aud not to Georgia. 1 did not so understand him. I understood him to mean Georgia. I was in the Georgia Legislature at the time. While in Atlanta, I received a letter (not letters) from Mr. Bush on some private business, and in that letter Mr. Bush stated there ought to boa Conven tion called to frame anew Constitution, and. as a matter of course, my inference was that Mr." Bush desired his political views embodied in the new Constitution. Mr. Bush certainly docs not deny the conversation with me, and never has, only ho insists there was nothing in the letter about a Constitutional Conven tion, &c., and that in the aforesaid conversa tion he alluded entirely to South Carolina. I regrot that the letter is lost, whilst if I had it now, it could speak for itself. Very respectfully, James J. Turnbull. Bogus Certificates.

Morgan, of Jackson county, which occurred last week. We saw her at Oconee, two months ago, a young and lovely bride, and only three months had elapsed between her happy marriage to Mr. Morgan and her death. Slie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, of Jackson county. We tender to the young husband and the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathies. We learn that Rev. E. S. V.

At the last meeting of the Directors of the Gainesville, Jefferson A Southern Railroad, an assessment of ten per cent, on the cap ital stock of the company, in addition to the two per cent, already assessed, was ordered to be collected immediately. It is hoped and expected that all the stockholders will prepare at once to pay in their assessment promptly, either to the Secretary of the com pany or such other agent as may call on them, as the money is needed and must be forth coming at an early day.

The Harmony Grove Speech. BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER, ** VINDEX.” We had a praise meeting here Saturday night last. The Gov. praised, in the highest terms, the management of State affairs per taining to the executive office. The Norwood men offered no disturbance at the Gov. speaking Saturday night, except it would offend the Gov. when anyone would ask him a question. The Gov. would call out. *• who are you ?” “ what is your name ?” ‘‘come out so we can see you.” He evi dently 7 desired to deter any one from asking him any more questions. The speaking was out doors under an arbor, and the lights were dim, and it was evident the Governor did not wish to explain many questions from his ac tions. The “minors” from Jackson, Banks, Frank lin and Madison counties, together with some ‘‘of age,’’ all Colquitt boys and men, kept up the hideous howling on Saturday night. Our good Sheriff was so carried away with Colquitt’s speech hero Saturday night that he lorgot to keep the boys quiet. \Ye no ticed our clever Sheriff a time or two with his mouth open drinking in the Governor’s speech. When a man wants to command and ad vise that order be kept, the best wav for him to do is to begin at home. A mhn living in a glass house must not throw stones. Hav/nony Grove, September 2i)th 1880.

The Milledgcville Recorder says: “Good farmers told us on Saturday that they* will not make as much cotton this yrnar as they did last year, on the same amount of laud, and with the advantage of better cultivation. Tuis is true. too. of thousands of other far mers in tlie South. The big calculations on a seven million or even six million bale crop, will fall to pieces.” From the Thomasville Enterprise we learn that tlie farmers of Thomas county have availed themselves of the recent fine weather, and have been picking, ginning and market ing their cotton at a rapid rate. The previ ous had weather damaged much of the open cotton. The principle portion of this has been sold at reduced figures. With contin ued good weather, the staple will be better, and fair prices may be expected. We are indebted to Mr. W. L. Vaughan for the following remarkable case: For some time his family horse had refused to cat or drink, and was gradually sinking, and with out relief would have died in a lew days. Nobody seemed to know what was the matter, although our observation is that when a horse gets sick everybody* knows a sovereign and infallible remedy. After he had given him up as a hopeless case, an examination was made of his mouth and throat, and it was found that a small piece of col), about two inches long, had got wedged up in his throat and turned endways across the swallow, com pletely blocking it up so that no food could pass. It was with considerable effort that it was removed, but its removal brought instant relief. But for this discovery he would have been dea Givi nett Herald. The Athens Banner thus tells how a coun tryman from that vicinity “ tested the rights of property ”An Athens man levied on a bale of cotton j'esterday, belonging to a man from the country, to collect a debt of two dollars. The man from the country wanted to test the rights of property, and wouldn't be bulldozed in any such away. So he iiired a lawyer to defend, him, and paid him five dollars. The lawyer interviewed the man who had the levy made, and told him lie could get the two dollars if he would com promise the case. To this the Athens man readily consented, whereupon the lawyer paid him two dollars of the fee he had re ceived from the countryman, put the other thr,ee in his pocket, and conveyed the infor mation to his client that the matter was set tied. Tims the levier got his two dollars, the lawyer made three by the transaction, and the owner of the cotton ‘ tested the rights of ..property.’ Principle is a great tiling — even when you run it into the ground.” p gif 1 P 4 V agents did .8. 11 JL .
