He informs us that he lias purchased a half interest’ in the Tfawkinsville Dlnputrh, and contemplates en larging and otherwise improving that journal. The Marshal made quite a llutter among the tax-paying and jliuqueuta of our town 1 ist week, by calling around with executions, and making notes of their personal property. Personal. Judge AV. M. Sessions passed through town on last Friday evening on his way to the hills of Upper Georgia. He prr enised to spend a day or two w r ith us on his return trip. The Telfair Delegation to the Agricultural Convention which assembled in Athens yester day, also passed up Saturday evening. Committed to Jail. —John May was com mitted to jail last' Thursday by Justices Rivers and Bussey, of Cliauneey, on the charge of assault and battery. He passed through town on Friday in charge-of Sheriff Brown, en route for Hawkinsville, where we pay board for our prisoners at present. Thu Sabbath School. —We are requested by Supt. Page to say that the Sunday School will resume its regular exercises on next Sunday, tho 17tli inst. It is hoped that every teacher and scholar will promptly respond, and be on hand with renewed energy, to enter upon the discharge of their several duties. Be Sure and don’t forget the prayer meeting to-night. Come out and bring your wives and children, your friends, your sisters, and your sweethearts, and let us see if we can’t get up a congregation that will astonish even ourselves, ll’ ill r is no goo l there will he no harm done, and you will at 1 vst put yourselves in the way <>i hearing som 'thing to your advantage. Personal.— Thad. has got back from Atlan ta he returned last Thursday. AVo asked him ! >vhe on joy e l himself. His reply was ‘'Bully • There is plenty of good iced lager beer up there; and you can buy a watermelon for 15 ('cuts that will last a family a week, and then you cau make a chicken coop out of the rind that will last the balance of the rear. The Way or Ir.— A man comes into your otTi .*o and tells you to send him a paper and he will hand you the money in a few days. Months pa ss on. and when hard up you venture to send him his bill and respectfully ask him to remit. He gets mad, appropriates considerable rhe toric, end orders you to stop his paper. Is it just or is it fair? alr. It. A. Haskell has laid upon our table the first boll of open cotton vve hvvo seen this > v *r. brought to town, he informed us, by Mr. ■T. Livingston. We pulled out the long fleecy staple from its burry cover, and gazed upon it vatu much hfpelul interest, for, to our mind, it breath \1 the assurance that old Father Time was rapidly whirling away into the past these hot dull days, and that the busy bustling au tumn, with its whirr and rush of business and flo w of greenbacks, was near at hand. Homicide Near Dublin. —The Dublin hack brought the intelligence last Saturday evening that a killing had taken place near Dublin the day before. It seems that a negro man, noted for his insolence, made an attack upon Mr. Louis Iwivers while in conversation with some 1 dies, striking and felling him to the ground with a heavy pole, whereupon Mr. It. arose and struck him twice with a pocket knife, caus ing two wounds, from which he died in a few minutes. As we cannot vouch for the authen ticity o 1 our information, wo forbear comment until we can hear full particulars. We did not learn the negro’s name. That Flea.— There is a quondam flea of bo-male characteristics and romantic disposi tion, that grazes from the Post Ofliee up to the Court House, which is, perhaps, the knee -plus ultra of all the pests about town, except rtmos (wo mean rtmos Keeter). He is a villainous, dare-devil kind of a fellow, with a repulsive countenance, and a bill as keen as a cambric noodle. He is not like most other fleas ;he is separate, apart, and distinct from them. When ever he explores the internal mysteries of our sock we know him at once, by his dignified BWa, SS er * au d the unhesitating manner in which ho takes hold of the tenderloin of our ankle, b e never try to catch him now—we’ve given that up long since—but simply sit down, roll down our hose, speak gently 7 to him in an over powering flow of rhetoric, and he ambles graee iully off a step of some fifteen feet, aud views us out of the corner of his left eye with a kind of leer which seems to say, “Why, old fellow, you ain’t mad, are you?” We don’t like that fl-*a, dont consider him our euual, and hence ► won’t dirty our binds with him ; but we’ll give a reward of two old exchangee to any one who will bring us his hide on a pole. That Deer.— Air. Jesse' Rogers came down on the train lost Friday with one of the finest bucks we ever saw, that he had killed that morning a few miles above here. AVe counted ten i oints on the antlers of this noble forest ranger, and our excellent hostess having pur chased a fair proportion of the delicious veni son which his saddle afforded, we sluvg our selves outsdie it as long as it lasted, with an utter disregard for all known rules of health. Oh DvCr how we love it! An Editor’s Trials. BY OUR OWN POET. How often we think, when reading the news, 1 hat an editor could always please if he choose; For sure it’s quite easy to sit down and write Of things that doth happen ly day and by night. But think lor a moment, and then you will see, That different tastes can never agree ; For, what will suit one displeases another, And the censure is gained of one or the other. Now the good old fanner he picks up the Times, For which he has paid 'JO hard shining dim. ... He glances it over, with a jerk and a frown, Casts it aside and lays liis specks down. “ The idea! ” says he. “How strange it appears, That the newspaper man for politics cares, And instead of talking of cotton and corn, Bho. Id tell iio w the vessel was wrecked on Cape Horn.” Then next in the lino comes some old grand mother, (Who inwardly vowing that specks are a bother) Ticks up the poor sheet and looks very wise, As she carefully holds it off' from her eyes. She reads of the murders, the thefts, and the rows, And with quite a good number of “La’-me’s”, and “nows,” She throws it aside, and says, “I'll declare ! What a strange kind of people these editors are.” “They’ll print a love story instead of the news, And all tlie world’s fools may read if they choose,' But as for me, I’ve had quite enough Of such outrageous, foolish, ridiculous stuff.” Next some pretty maiden, who dotes on true lave, Sits pensively down and lets her eyes move Over columns of war, of news, and of notes, And how the late Congress had cast in its votes. “Oh, dear !” and a sigh escapes her, and then She says “it is strange that the newspaper men Haven’t got any sense, ” gives the paper a rust la, And tucks it away for her next Sunday’s bustle. And so it goes on, from the high to the low, Each says “This ain’t right,” or, “This should be so And tlie worst of it is, they nearly all say, “For a paper like this I never will pay!” OUE SISTEfi TOWNS. CSaaimcey. MARRIED— A- the residence of James Moore, on the 10th inst., by W. K. Bussey, Esq., Mr. Mal com 3/cCbanxb to Miss Al,.*w AVuliam , 11 . Du} county. May love’s sweet flame tli.-ir athway light, Mud never be dimmed by sorrows nu'in, But tho sweet names of “husband, wife,” Be dear as now through future life. * The Chauueey young man is a queer genius. One of them walked into a store there the other day, and quietly seating himself on the counter, he proceeded to institute a diligent search for a quondam flea that was playing hide and seek on the ladies’ hose which he wore. Having succeeded in capturing the aforesaid ilea, the storekeeper told him he thought he needed a pa ir of elastics to go with the other “musn’t mention mis”. lie thought so too, accepted them as a present, and walk ed off styling himself the knight of the garter. The interesting portion of the affair is the query, How he came by those stockings. Mcßae, Too Hard For Us. —Last Monday we re ceived the papers of onr Mcßae subscribers. Gam > back to us from our post office here. 'Ye’H try to look into this matter and see how l >ug it has been going on. Mount Vernon.

During the year 1073 no expense of time, labor, and money will be spared to keep the Morning News ahead of all its couqnetitors in Georgia journalism, and to deserve the flatter ing enconiums heaped upon it from all quar ters.

For yews and years indeed, since its cstalishment,—it has -jeon a repr ~(ntutive Southern paper, and from that time to the present, in all eonjunct ur-.-s, it has consistently and persistently main taiiied Dcuiocititie Shitcs Rights principles, and labored, with an ardor and devotion that know no ah.deui at, to promote and preserve the in terests and honor of the South. The special features of the Morning News will be retained and improved upon during tho eii :iilngyeur and several new attractions will be -added.
