BREVITIES. Now is the time to get cheap job work done. Quite heavy rains the latter part of last week. Splen id duck driving weather this week. The yellow leg spring chicken has made his annual debut. Nice, tresh, country butter is selling in this market at 15 cents per pound. t Del Segno’s reply to Texas Round Note Singer will appear next week. The average spring poet has subsbv ded. Weather too hot we sup pose. Frora what we can learn from dif ferent sections of the county, the crop outlook is very good. The new blinds to the Presbyterian church add considerably to its appear ance. Capt Dave Croft and Leut. Ed Long came in upon the train one da) this week. Last Sunday the 28th iust., was the anniversary of the banging of Elisha Yarbrough. Powerful dull times these days, but this is a good sign, as the farmers are staying at home, looking after their crops. A. B. Sharp & Bro., has had a neat awning put in front of their store, which we think helps the appearanco of things smartly. R. J. Gaines the poet laureate of Carroll county, left Wednesday even ing ,for a short visit to Atlanta.— We commend him to the kind con sideration of the Atlanta quill drivers, and also to the tender mercies of the Belle street widow, Mrs. Jim Moore lias one of the best gardens in town. We took a look at it on last Saturday and must say that it would be hard to beat. A good i;ar» den is a good thing to have these hard limes, and Mrs. M. generally manages to have one of the best. We see ft ora the Atlanta Constitu - tion of last Wednesday that Major Richardson ot this place, has been ap pointed by the Governor, one of the board of visitors, to attend the exami nation of the Senior class at the Uni versity ot Georgia, in July, and ot the students ot the Atlanta University (colored) in June. THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL PICNIC. Last Sunday was a gala day lor the Sunday schools of this place and at an early hour the chapel ot the Masonic Institute was alive with the little peo ple. Although the day was unpropi tious, it did not affect the spirits of the little folks, who were as cheerful and buoyant as they could possibly be. We regret getting to the chapel too late to hear the speeches of the occa sion. The address of welcome was made by Mr T. B Davis ot the Baptist Sunday school and responded to by the Rev. Mr. Quillian, pastor of the M. E. church. We learn that both ot the addresses were short, approprß ate and well-timed. With these ad dt ■esses and some lively singing by the little tolks, the formal exercises ot the day closed. The brevity ot these ex ere ices was one of their most com men dable features. The next thing iu order was dinner and here everything was iuforuial.— There was no standing back on cerev mony; The good thiugs prepared for the occasion were spread out on cloths on the lower floor of the Insti tute, and from the abundance of every thing, one would not have thought there were any hard times in the land. And the way everbody, little and big, enjoyed that dinner, it was pleasant to behold. As we have said there was no formality everything was free and easy, and everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion. After dinner the young people or ganized several games, which were heartily joined in by their elders, who seemed to enjoy these old time plays, with as much zest as the little toks. In this manner the most of the even ing was spent by the little people who will no doubt long remember the pic nic occasion of this year. Take it all in all, we think it was one of the most enjoyable we have ever attended. The May number of the Southern Farmer and Planter, published by L- R. Dickinson, Richmond Virginia, has been laid upon our table. Judg ing by its table of contents and the cursory glance which we have given its pages, we should pronounce it a valuable auxiliary to the farmer.— Price $2 per annum. E'iue Clover. Judge Shelnutt ot Bowdou has laid upon our table some stalks of very fine clover. In fact we never saw better in this country. It is nearlv three feet high although cut above the ground. Judging the Judge by this clover, we would say, to his other accomplishments, he adds that of be- , ,n J an amateur farmer of no mean pretensions. | BOWDOX AND ROW DON IANS. All quiet along the lines this week. Business of a legal kind seems most thriving. ‘Uncle Simeon’ is almost daily called upon to ‘officially’ remind the forgetful, that there is ‘a|tiine for all things' and that this, though a hard time, is nevertheless considered by creditors a good time for debtors to obey the Scriptural injunction which says ‘pay what thou owest.’ Cash or no trade, is every man’s motto here, if we are to judge by their signs but men who owe no old debts, are seldom refused credit any where. Want of confidence is now affectiug every branch of trade, not only here but almost universally, it is the cause of the present panic, the hard times and the depreciation of every species of property. Let no man make debts this year. Time waits on no man, therefore let no man wait on time. The Templars continue here with unabated zeal. They deserve much credit for their untiring efforts in the cause of humanity and right. In this community. A tew young men who have not yet signed the pledge would do well just now to heed its teachings rather than bring furtherJdisgi ace up on themselves and friends. Mr. Clayton has invented and is using a machine the like of which was never before seen. He proposes to at tach machinery to a forty saw g»u which will enable one mule to pull it with as much ease as four does with the common gearing. W. L. Adamson one of Bowdon’s most enterprising merchants is trying his hand on the farm this year. No doubt he will make a success of it. He has the best cotton we have seen. Many farmers are complaining of rust on wheat but some ot the oldest and wisest ot them, think the crop is not injured. During ‘the melancholy days’ the people amuse themselves in hunting, fishing and gaming. The game of ‘knucks' begun here early last spring, is suffering a temporary suspension during the unusual warm weather. By invitation we spent an evening with Judge Shelnutt at his home. He has one ot the most pleasant places in this vicintity. His taste is displayed not only by his discriminating attentions to the better looking ot the fair sex, but also by the way in which he has labored to make his home attractive. Ilis fish pond is a favorite resort for all his neighbors. When interroga ted as to his future political aspira tions the Judge expressed himself as entirely willing to submit to the will of the people. If they desire him to become a candidate for re-election to the legislature, we think he is will ing to run, and his chance foi election seems good, for his past’history is a sufficient guarantee that afl he will do, or attempt to do, will be with a view of serving the best interests of the whole people. ‘M.’ Crops iu the Eleventh District* Editor Times. —l have been spend ing a day or two in the Eleventh dis trict of this county, and have to say for the benefit of those interested, that the prospect for a fair yield ot wheat is first rate, and that corn and cotton are also looking well. While in the Eleventh, I spent some time in looking over the magnificent farm of Mr. James Attaway, which is hard to beat, even in Kentucky and Tennessee Mr. A. has about 150 acres of rich alluvial bottom on his place, and a good portion of it thorougly ditched and iu ahigh state of cultivation, and ranks as one of the best farmers iu that part of the country. Mr. J. D. Sewell and TANARUS). P. Power whose lands are adjoining those of Mr. Attaway also have their farms in fine condi tion, and their growing crops are re ally promising. Four miles from towu on the farm of Mr. Treadwell, I noticed wheat nearly as good as that ot Mr. John Bonner, our champion farmer; and Uncle Tommie Steed and Mr. Har mon, also have excellent wheat. Iu eight or ten days niore the wheat will do to cut, and I think from the pres ent prospect, there will be great cause of rejoicing at the result of the har vest G. Mr. Editor. —Will you be so con siderate as to paidon the presump ion of a stranger by yielding space in your columns, for a short commu nication from one whose pleasure it was quite recently to abandon the rural retreats of central Georgia, to sojourn a week among the hos pitable citizens of your village. It was chiefly with a view of escap ing the fangs ot ill-health which seem ed to be preying without restraint upon the physical corpus of your correspon dent, that induced him to seek the more congenial latitude of Northwest Georgia, and though suffering through indisposition and therefore unable to ruminate to the extent which he otherwise would, he will'ever cherish through the corridors of mem try, 1 a fond recollection ot the hearty wel • come and kind, urbane, greeting of which he was the recipient while among yott. With’a population, refined, indus trious an and moral, a climate proverbial for longevity, and a soil that yields bounteously to the hand of industry and frugality, I can conceive of no barrier that can prevent your county, and town at no distant period, from being peopled with a dense popula tion. True your railway enterprise upon which your people relied with such'confidence for the development ot your hidden resources is now dor mant by reason of the many and nat ural causes incident to the early his tory of such institutions from almost time immemorial, and especially is it true with the great mass of thepeo-t pie south pf Mason and Dixon’s line, who alter passing the fiery ordeal of war, were deprived of three fourths of their possessions, by the arbitrary mandate of a triumphant conqueror, hence it is, they were forced to suc cumb to a fiuancial depression, the magnitude of which the world's hiss tory .affords no parallel. Notwiths standing this feasible cause of disap pointment to your citizens, there is a Divinity which shapes tneir ends, and there is abundant reason for the be lief that at an earlier day, than the Rip Van Winkles ot today imagine that the ever increasing tide ot population and the demands aud necessities of the agricultural and commercial world created thereby, will demand the prompt construction ot other Hues of Railroad, already contemplated and projected, to intersect iu your town, which when completed will cause Carrollton to arise Phoenix like from her Liliputian proportions and assume an importance not now imagin ed. The wheat crop in this section of the State is now harvesting aud the yield of this cereal, will it is thought, fall at least one third short in conse quence ot an unfavorable season, and the early appearance of rust. Corn and cotton are“growing luxuriantly and the weedjappears healthy, though too far lrom maturity to speculate as to the result. The gubernatorial question, figura tively speaking, is becoming as heated as the tires of Mt. Versuvius—a half dozen patriots are willing to be gov ernor, and each advocating his pecu*- liar claims upon the ‘dear people* with a degree of pertinacity and des peration that is tfttly alarming. They have taken the field personally and their anthems of egotism aud self adu lations can be heard upon every pass ing breeze. Surely the converse of the proverb ‘The office should seek the man’ has come into practical oper ation. Notably among the candidates are Thos. Hardeman and Alfred 11. Colquitt, with the odds decidedly in favor of the latter—each basing his claim upon supposed eminent services to the party and relying no little up on their military prestige. The strength of both aspirants lies princi pally in the great cotton belt of the State and they doubtless have the lar gest following of an) of the ‘Rich - monds’ in the field, but it is highly probably that the mantle of official dignity will be confered upon some one by the general convention after these two rivals have exhausted them selves. So mote it be. Regulus. Monroe County, Ga. Special Notices. The Evil Fruit** of Weak Digestion. There is no pathological fate more clearly ascertained than that the most formidable phases of nervous disease are directly trace able to imperfect digestion. Insomnia, with Us train of direful consequences, proceeds more frequently from weakness of the stom ach than from any other cause. Mere seda tives are powerless to cure nervousness, and soon cease to palliate it* symptoms* The true way to strengthen the nervous system is to invigorate the digestive and assimila tive organs, upon whose unobstructed ttetion its equilibrium is absolutely dependent. The daily use of Ilostetter’s Stomach Bttters will do more to brace and sooth the weakened and irritated nerves, and induce sound, re freshing sleep, nature’s grand catholicou— than all the so-called nervines to be found in the pharmacopoeia or out of it. A wineglass ful of the Bitters should be taken before each meal. To Consumptive*.
