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- cbantilc business at Neil’s Landing, on the Chattahoochee river. His family have our most sincere sympa thies iu their bereavement.

Here is a chance for any one on the make. How to Remove Wbiskles and Delay tiieui Coming.—It is said to be satisfactorily 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 lumbus Industrial Association, will accept our thanks for a complimentary inviiation to the Third Annual Fair of said association, which begins in that city on the 20th inst., and AviU be continued five days. Gen. Lee at “Stoxewall’s” Grave.—A 14 by 18 inch engraving of the grave of Stonewall” Jackson in the Lexington, Va., cemetery. The noble Gen. Lee stands beside 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 sent by mail, post-paid, to every per son sending 50cts. for six months subscrip tion to “Burrow’s Monthly Souvenir,” pub lished at Bristol, Tenn., by J. C. &W. >1. Burrow, an illustrated magazine of useful in formation, literature, science, art, amuse ment, etc. It is printed on fine tinted paper, illustrated with magnificent engravings— many of them full-paged—and is in all re spects one of the best magazines in the South.

Rutherford, at the City Stables, has pome fine horses for sale, and in a few weeks lie will have many more. If you want a su perb turnout at reasonable rates, the City Stables is the place to get it. Saddle and h irucss horses to hire at all times. The Fair aT Tiiomasville.—Ou the 80th ,.f October, the third annual fair of the South Georgia Agricultural aud Mechanical Associ ation will commence. 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 from the North on Monday, reminding, us that he had made his annual visit. Probe Collier says he wants to see a few more men like Dixon come along. How about those checks, Probert ? You will find it to your advantage to get your plantation supplies, such as bagging, rope, tics, corn, hay, etc., from the Upper Flint River Store. Capt. A. T. Reid was out in his dashing turnout on Sunday. We are glad to see pros perity with him so brilliantly illustrated. AMENDED CITY ORDINANCES. Council Chamber, Oct. 7, 1872. At a regular meeting of Council, held this lay, the following ordinances were passed and became in force : Be it ordained by the Corporation of the City of Bainbridge, That section 47 of the By-Laws be so amended as to read as follows: “That in addition to the four fire-wardens, there shall be added four colored wardens, with an equal number of alternates.” That this ordinance take effect from and after its passage. Be it Ordained by the Corporation of the City of Bainbridge, That section 16, article 120 of the By-Laws be so changed as to read 75,00 (five dollars) for each billiard table,” instead of “$25,00 (twenty-five dollars) for each billiard saloon.” GEO. W. PEARCE, Clerk of Council. If you want to supply yourselves with tiie best groceries, wholesale and retail, at mod erate prices, go immediately to the Upper Flint River Store. The Central Line of Boats will hereafter have two steamers running regularly between Columbus, Bainbridge, and Apalachicola. The Jackson left this morning for Apalachi cola. 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 tlie*14th inst. Vegetation looks bHghted in consequence thereof. » • 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.

Mack Grass and Bob Lytle are collecting a Menagerie. They have already got a wild cat and a Poodle. 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. RANKIN HOUSE, J. W. Ryan, Proprietor, Broad Street, Columbus, - - Georgia. FRANK GOLDEN, Clerk. Columbus Fair The Directors of the Columbus “Oft INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION Tuke pleasure in announcing THE MOST COMPLETE AR RANGEMENTS For their Annual 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” The Columbus Fair.—We refer special at tention to the advertisement of the Colum bus Fair Association to be found in to-day's Democrat.
