Death of Thomas Dwkissok.—It is our
t.t l duty to chronicle the death of one of our
jn.jst esteemed friends, Mr. Tom Dickinson,
s.m of our worthy townsman John 1’. Dickin
son. Our deceased friend was certainly one
of nature’s noblemen. His excellence was
very marked, and was often the subject of
comment by all who knew him. None knew
him but to love him, none knew him but to
bless.
Too much could not be said in his praise,
IDs friends have lost a worthy companion;
the community in which he lived a good citi-
lC n, and liis family a noble son and brother.
Jlc was, at the time of his death, in the mer-

Gen. Lee, of Decatur county, was in town

too, much to the merriment of the clerks of
the F. R. S., and other lookers-on in Yiena.
He wanted to bet any man his horse against
fifty dollars that he could beat anybody iu

chance for any one on the make.
How to Remove Wbiskles and Delay

demonstrated that every time a wife scolds
her husband she adds a wrinkle to her face.
We hope this announcement AviU have the
most salutary effect, especially as it is under
stood that every time a wife smiles on her
husband, it will help to remove one of the
old wrinkles. Therefore, if a husband would
encourage his wife to smile on him at morn
ing, noon and night, he should furnish her
with the Monumental Cooking Stove, for sale
by E. JOHNSON.
Mr. E. IV. Peabody, Secretary of the Co

the flower-strewn grave, over which hangs a
weeping willow. In the distance is seen a
beautiful landscape, hills decked in verdure,
clouds as natural as real ones, and many
other things which make this picture a gem
of art; one which should hang in the parlor
of every Southern home.
A copy of this beautiful engraving will be

The citizens of Southwest Georgia should
feel proud of the unprecedented success that
lias attended the efforts of this great enter
prise. The beneficial effects in developing
and stimulating the energies and resources
of ibis section of the State are very apparent.
Acres of soil have been made to yield an
hundred fold ef the great staples of agricul
ture; live stock has boon cared for and im
proved; mechanical industries stimulated;
ingenuity and the line arts encouraged by
the general competition for the liberal prizes
and diplomas that are awarded. This section
is sadly in need of being aroused from a state
of lot 1 > gy and apatliy to one of activity and
energy.
Now, let everybody attend tlicFair; it will
be a great social gathering, and tlic exposi
tion of tho varied articles comprising all the
industries, both local and national, will be
equal to any similar enterprise in this State.
We urge upon Decatur not to fall behind her
sister counties in the number of her contri
butions to this grand exhibition.
Go to the Fair and vie with your neighbor
in the great competition for the awards.
Our old friend King Eoltts whistled keenly

The Rankin House, Columbus.—We re
fer attention to the above first-class Colum
bus Hotel, the card of which will be found
in our advertising columns. This is truly
one of the best hotels in Georgia—its rooms
are elegantly furnished and the tables are
supplied with all the luxuries afforded by
the'Columbus market. ' Mr. Frank Golden,
the gentlemanly and popular clerk of the es
tablishment, has a polite and hearty wel
come for all, which makes travellers “feel at
home” in every way. If you visit Columbus,
don’t forget the Rankin House.
Bainbridge had a visit from Jack Frost, on

Plowing Matches.
Editor Democrat :—As appropriate to the
occasion of the near-approaching Fair at
Thomasville, permit me to ask you to insert
the following article, which I find in that
very excellent magazine, the Southern Farm
and Home for October. Farmer.
The so-called plowing matches at our State
and county fairs arc very much unsatisfac
tory and unprofitable exhibitions as they are
generally managed. In a majority of in
stances the judges of the plowing match who
are caught by the Executive Committee man
in charge of that department without any
reference to their capacity or knowledge of
plowing—quantity being his main object, not
quality—know nothing of what they are to
judge, have no interest in it, discharge the
duty reluctantly and in a hurry, so that they
may get back in time to sec the racing or
walk in the “floral hall” with the ladies.
The plowing match is generally set for the
most inconvenient hour—that being selected
“when nothing is going on.” The show
takes place in the most out-of-the-way spot,
and the result is that few witness it besides
the reluctant judges, who are bored to death,
and the exhibitors and their attendants. ®
Now, sir, I am old-fashioned enough to
like to see a plowing match, to attach great
importance to it, and to think that it should
be one of the chief shows of the fair. I would
rather see it by a long way than see Dexter
trot Ills best. There arc heaps of farmers
who would like to see it, who want to see
these new plows work before they buy them,
and who want to learn the new principles
involved in their use. If all our farmers
could see and talk with Brinly, hear him ex
plain his new plows, and see him work them,
they would learn something, and their farm
ing would be better. The fairs could give this
opportunity if the plowing math were made'
“a feature” of the exhibition, and not a
mere side-show put in “to fill up.”
Then again, sir, the plowing match should
include the best plowman as well as the best
plow. This would excite emulation, and
this would beget improvement and progress,
and then we would soon have our rows laid
off straight and equi-distant without the use
of stakes, and our lands would aH be broken
and to an uniform depth.
As the fall fairs are about to commence, I
venture to give these few hints in the hope
that I may strike somebody in authority who
will agree with me as to the value of proper
ly managed plowing matches, and who will
try to have one. I a3k it as a favor to my
self and thousands of farmers who feel as I
do on the subject, that the plowing match be
not fixed at the same hour or near the same
hour as a horse race, the balloon ascent, or
the pigeon match.

and willing to advocate anything calculated
to promote the general welfare; but we have
had our pre-taught and pro-conceived notions
in regard to things so often utterly routed
and put to flight by a very-little good hard
horse sense, thai we are afraid to admit,
without some strong and substantial proof to
sustain us, that the universal wearing of cal
ico is the one thing the world needs at the
present.
Few of the old musty maxims and proverbs
the the world generaUy receives, unques
tioned, as wisdom and philosophy wiU be
permitted to lie long as useless lumber in the
mind of a man of good, practical, common
sense. He will not have proceeded far over
the road that the old song says is “a hard
one to travel” before he will find that much
of the so-called wisdom with which he started
is bogus. When a boy we read Dr. Franklin’s
miserly maxims until we thought ourself a
very prodigy of worldly wisdom, and longed
for a chance for its display. The chance
came and tie were completely discomfitted.
It happened this wise : In our neighborhood
was an awkward, uncouth old bachelor nam
ed John Cameron. John had but little sense,
less taste, and still less money, but was very
fond of display. He delighted to appear at
the village church every Sunday decked in
the gaudiest array that his purse could afford.
He was a striker in a blacksmith-shop at a
salary of perhaps ten doHars per month.—
After a long time by close economy and
steady labor, he accumulated a surplus of
eight dollars, which he invested in a large,
old-fashioned buU-eve watch. With this he
cut quite a dash. It was pleasant to see with
what pride he sported his bull-eye on every
public occasion, and with what an air of
condescension he would inform any one who
might inquire, the “time of day” after con
sulting the wide and genial face of said bull-
e.
Desiring to display our Franklinian wis
dom, we descanted to an older friend upon
John’s folly in investing his hard earnings
in such an unsuitable tiling as a watch. He
replied,
‘No, my friend, you are mistaken. That
is the very best disposition John could have
made of his eight dollars. The true object
of money is to minister to our happiness, and
that bull-eye affords to John more happiness
than anything else he could have purchased
for eight dollars; it affords him as much
pleasure to tell you the time of day, and dis
play his big watch and brass chain, as it does
many an other man to rule a kingdom or to
command an army. The bull-eye was a wise
and judicious investment.”
So our philosophy was defeated at the first
encounter; and ever since when we see one
indulging in luxuries that he can barely af
ford, instead of thinking with Franklin that
he has paid too dearly for his whistle, we
think of John Cameron and his bull-eye
watch.
So with this calico movement. We do not
know that it is best after all for every one to
wear calico.
If Miss Flory McFlimsy and Miss Ara-
mintaSophronisba Aristobogustake delight in
flaunting their silks and satins before the
public, as John Cameron did his bull-eye, let
them do so, and perhaps plain Betsy Jane
and Eliza Ann who are dependant upon their
needles for a living may be benefitted by it.
And if there are others who prefer their
bull-eye in the shape of a calico club and a
local sensation, let them so have it, and so
enjoy it. So mote it be.

The “Calico Club.”—If there is anything
in the drygoods line, or, in fact, any other
line, for which we have always had, and do
now have, a deep, earnest and fervid vener
ation it is calico—bright, pretty calico. It
is intimately associated with some of the
fondest recollections of our past life; even
back to the trundle-bed period of our exist
ence, when our only garment forsummer wear
was a long gown made of material the same
as calico except the colors, prints, and fig
ures that give to that article its singular
name. All our first sweet-hearts wore calico;
that is, when they went to meeting and to
singing-school, the only times that we ever
saw them. And we well remember one
“bright particular star” of our early venera
tion, appearing one sun-shiny morning ar
rayed in a dress of the material in question
that far out-shone all former articles of the
kind that we had ever seen. On inquiry of
a confidential friend, we were informed that,
that was “oiled calico.” Whether there is
such a thing still in existence or not, our
limited information on the subject docs not
enable us to state.
We have been led to these few “scattering
remarks” by the fact that a “Calico Club”

Postponed to December 7. 1872.
Tlte second Grand Gift ConceA in aid of
the Public Library of Kentucky, announced
for September 28, has been postponed to De
cember 7, 1872, because the accumulation of
orders a few days before the drawing made
it physically impossible to fill them without
a few day’s delay, and as a short postpone
ment was inevitable, it was determined to
defer it to a time that would make a full
drawing sure by the sale of all the tickets.

offered gifts is now upon deposit in the Far
mers’ and Drovers’ Bank, as will be seen by
the following certificate of the cashier :
