Mr. A E Bueese, of Washington City;
son-in-law of Mr. Jas. Butler, arrived
in Blakely on Saturday night last to visit
his wife and little girl who preceded him
to this place. His family hag increased
since his arrival, and lie now wears a gen
ial smile while mingling With his old
friends in Blakely.
The leap year party which came off last
night was cnjnyed immensely by those who
attended. Quito a number of young la
, dies and gents congregated at Mr. llobt.
Joyner’s residence, at an early hour, and
spent the time in social intercourse. What
sort of an out the young ladies made at
love-making we arc unable to say, as we
were escorted by two of .Blakely’s sweet
est daughters, and they did not hare a fair
showing at us.
Our annual municipal election takes
place on Saturday-. What platform the
candidates will run on wo do not know;
but this we do know, that every interest
of humanity calls for an expulsion of the
whisky trafie from our town, and men
should be elected to the placo who will
do this. We have no doubt whisky will
flow freely among the non-prohibitionists
in their endevora to keep the vilo curse
in the borders of our fair little city.
Shall Blakely be the last to drive whisky
from its borders’ God sordid! Citizens of
Blakely, awake to a sense of your duty,
and cast your vote for men who will do
their part in driving the fatal cup from
your lips.
Wc are in receipt of a complimentary
copy of “Cram’s New Indexed 3lap of
Georgia,” showing all the railroads, sta
tions, towns, villages, postoffices, &c.,
from the latest official records. It is pub
lished by Hudgins & Talty, No. G 3 East
Alabama Street, Atlanta, Ga., and is,
we think, the most complete map of the
State ever published. It contains the
population of every county and every town
of importance in the State. It will sell
almost upon sight. Portraits of Alex. 11.
Stephens, Ben Hill and Gov. McDaniel
ornament the map. Call at this office
and we will show you a copy of it. t /
Mr. D. M. Roberts, who lives some IY
south of Blakely, on the Cedar Spring road
had the misfortune to lose his large stable
by fire, on Saturday night last, about one
o’clock. A considerable quantity of oats
and fodder were destroyed, being in the
loft above the stable. The loss was about
S2OO, and will fall quito heavily on Mr.
Roberts just at this time. The incarnate
fiend who sot fire to the stable ought to be
swung to a limb of the nearest tree should
lie be caught. Mr. 11. was considerably
scorched in his fight against the fiery cl
ement and, unlike the Hebrew children,
came forth with the smell of fire on his
garments. lie has our sympathies in Ins
loss.
1883, did you write it? It has passed
never to return. Father Time in his on
. ward march has turned over a new leaf,
on which is emblazoned ic large letters,
1884. Yes, the New Year is here, and
many have mado resolutions which, if car
ried out, will make better people of them.
\\ e had thought to write something of
our past deeds in 1883, and the hopes
and promises of the News for the pres
ent year, but cannot do so on account
pi physical disabilities. We will say, how-
*gver, that we shall not let a single oppor
' tunity p ass f or i m p rov ; n g our present
sheet and shall labor earnestly and un
ceasingly to keep our readers posted on
the current events of the day. Will you
1 npt come to our aid, friends? Resolve in
/ your mind that each year shall be better
Than the past and carry that resolution
into effect. y
f F. M. Smith, A. J. Fleming, IU/hT
R. W. Davis and J. T.
man, arc the names on a ticket for munic
i; al honors at the election which comes off
next Saturday. These young men say
they are tired lookingatdilapidated bridg
es and rough streets, and will put them
in good order, if permitted the privilege,
Von Saturday. We see the ticket is com
posed of youug men who are well known
in our community, and do business on the
north, east, and west sides of the town.
Tickets can be had at all the places of
“business on election day. There is noth
ing like having live and go-a-head young
men at the head of a business to make it a
success, and it is to be hoped that the cit-
of Blakely will come to the aid of
/ xhese young men with a liberal hand. We
sreglad to see this clsss of citizenssomuch
interested in the welfare of their town.
Lot everybody turn out and vote for the
young men’s ticket.

, The Way They Do in Blakely.
Under the above bead, the Columbus
Enquirer gets off the following on one of
our popular young men, but left off “Ex
cuse brevity,” as the P. S., and thus some
what modified it:
The young gentlemen of Blakely are
evidently of the opinion that “brevity is
the soul of wit.” One of our charming
Columbus girls was recently on a visit to
that progressive little city, and one of the
young gentlemen, desiring to carry her out
to an evening entertainment, penned the
following:
Blakely, Ga., Nov. 23, 1883.
Miss :
Can I, in the language of my deceased
but never to be forgotten friend, Mr Rich
ard Swiveler, late of “Curiosity Shop,”
after the diurnal luminary has passed be
hind the western horizon, have and obtain
the exquisite pleasure and beatitude of es
corting or transferring your corporeal sys
tem across the space intervening between
the domicile of your friend, Miss Leila,
and that of Mr- Joiner, where there is, or
will be, a saccharine entertainment of the
sweetest? Yours,
A S2O Bible Prize.
