Mr. T. J. Lanier, of the Telegraph & Mes
senger, spent a day in town last week.
Business. —in the course of two or three
weeks we shall commence sending out bills to
those of our patrons who are in arrears, and
trust they will lose no time in honoring them.
Fn e ! Fii.e !! Our city fathers have become
;1 .rined lest our fast growing nv. trs polis should
he destroyed by the raging clement, and have
decided to sink two new wells, and provide
tu> to wn w ith a fire extinguishing apparatus of
homo’ci'nd.
The attention ofvmr readers is called to the
advertisement of Georgia State Fair iu an
other coluin a to-day. T A T e have no doubt the
occasion wilt be an interes'C-ng one, and those
who can’t compete for ]>i\unimns diould goaud
hoc the fine display. It will well v~pwy the
.small outlay.
There is a young man in town who perfumes

It was a fine melon, irulAd, but wo hope none
v ill become discouraged, for there ure larger
melons in Dodge, we think.
M xtn Pe.m in .. A lady friend came in per
mm the other day to bring us some nice peach
a-.; but as she is a wife of only a few weeks,
and has a big-tinted, jealous husband, we are
ui/.ud to express the compliment our heart has
famed, or give publicity to her name.

Some of the mail agents on the line inform
us Hint the up mail is sent down and the down

true, and if so, how many.
Owing to the trouble and labor incident to
our removal and rearrangements in our now
quarters, we hope cur readers will excuse the
appearance of this and our last week’s issues.
As soon as wo get properly fixed up we will
make amends for past deficiencies, and hope
our triends will indulge us for a little while.
Dentist Wanted. -Why, in the name of all
that w. 13 ever ehewe , don’t some tooth tinker
cast his line in these whereabouts? Every
gardener’s rake around town is in need of one,
and Attaway’s old saw is about gone up. He
just has to “guru it” now\ and fill up the iuter
v,.ls n v 1 ich lie has nothing else to do, by
pr v riein., “ Hie Star Sp uigLd Banner’’ on his
steam flute. And then, the old maids are tooth
less, and the young maids want tooth powder,
and, altogether, a dentist Is the thing that’s
needed.
In another column of our to-day’s issue will
be louud the advertisement of the National
Hotel, Macon, Ga. As the name is in latter
years a forgotten one, we will state that Mr. P.
Whelan, who has been for twenty years past
connected with the C. R. Ik, and probably as
widely known to the traveling pubiic as any
man in Georgia, has bought out the old Spots
wood, and having thoroughly refitted it Irom
garret to cellar and added many new improve
ments, has restored it to its original name oi
the “National,” and thrown wide is hospitable
doors to the accommodation of the traveling
public. Were it not for the sad degeneracy ot
newspaper encomiums into paid advertise
ments, where the editor dupes his readers for a
paltry consideration, we would bestow what we
I feel to be a merited compliment, but lest the
public should suspect us ot interested motives
in the matter, we will only say to our friends
that when they go to Macon to visit the Nation
al one time, and see if they are not satisfied
with the treatment they receive.

The Savanuh Daily Noknino News u ac
knowledge A by the press and people to be tho
best daily pip -r south of Louisville and east

During the year 1573 no expoi.ee of time,
iabor, and money will be spared to keep the
Morning News ahead of ali its competitors in
Georgia journalism, and to deserve tho flatter -
iag encohituxu heaped npon it from all quar
ters. There lias as yet, been no serious at
tempt made to rival tho special telegrams which
the News inaugurated some years ago, and
| the consequence, is that the reader in search

ments of the paper are such that the omissions
. madeby the general press reports are promptly
and reliably supplied by its special coinaapoaid-

eral intelligence, giving to the reader more
and better digest than other papar in matter
the State.
It is perhaps needless to speak of the poli
tics cf the Morning News. Tor and
years indeed, since its eatalishment, —it haa
been a representative Southern paper, and
from that time to the present, in all conjunct
| urcs, it has consistently and persistently maiu
j tained Democratic States Rights principles, and
j labored, with an urdor and devotion that know
jno abatement, to promote and preserve the in-
terests and honor of tho South.
The special features of the Morning News
will be retained and improved upon during tho
ensuing year and several new attractions will
be added. - *
The Georgia News items, with their quaint
and pleasant, humor, and the epitome of Florida
affairs, will bo continued during tho year.
The local department will be the most com
plete and reliable to be found in any Savan
nah paper, and the commercial columns will
be full and accurate.
The price of tho Daily is $lO 00 per annum
$2.00 for six months; SI.OO for one month.
