Attention, Twilight Serenaders. —You

By order of the Manager.
H. W. J. Ham, Sec’y.
Work lias been commenced upon the now
store of Mr. Register. And still we improve.
We’ll have a city yet in spite of everything that
can be done.
General Foster and lady returned from
Alabama last Saturday. The General, we
learn, has been quite ill since his return. We
are glad to see them again in town, and trust
the General will soon recover and be seen
upon the streets again.
We notice that H. Herrman have
made a general renovation in tha inte
rior of the r commodious store, preparatory
to laying in their fall stock of goods. Look
out for the big advertisement that will tell
you all about it when Mr. H.. Sr., shali return
from New York.
Plaster.— We hope to be excused if we call
the attention of the proper authorities to the
fact that the overhead plastering in the Court
■ asa i., i aming off ‘“in spots,” and would sug
gest that the causes leading to it be looked
into, md ii the roof is defective, or anything
of tiie kind, that it be remedied at once, before
it causes further damage. •
"Twig’Em.” -Wjj would just like, for the
loc'rtoyi: nothing else, to know why
on • rth the lit.lu boys in town will go to
Church on Sunday, and, instead of attending
worship, jmploy their time in running up and
down the front s' pi and raising such a noise
and uni'a ..l >o that one can’t listen to the ser
mon or my thing else. We would like to sug
that the pater id derivatives of those festive
youngji pofuls trim up two or three small
size gams, and dust their p ints sufficiently
ne- r the “lit ul cus covering of the outside oi
to. \r inside, to strike the fountain (tl tears, and
i k m from whence come good old-fash
ioned v 11s.

fhw nsT. !<y i private latter from Drs.
; V i)t,.uel, Ah“). dentists, dated the 18tli
stuaat, we are iafor.ned that they will be in
'■•r town, in about two weeks, or aoout the
>i f Tip 11 snbjr. Guy aro gentleman well
r ed i;i their profession, and if any of our cit
zms have any work in their line, as they
are special friends of ours, we will take it as
a personal favor if they will wait until they
shall arrive It- is needless for us to speak
of the beauty or durability of their work as
that will speak for itself.
We would like to know if there is any one
in the immediate vicinity of this tow n, that
mistakes the Times Office for a horse rack.
It mvy seem an odd inquiry to make, but
last evening as we came up to our office after
dinner, what should we lind but a yoke of
solemn bovines, occupying the entire space at
the steps of our back door. The individual
who owned them doubtless thought the post
of our stoop a nice place to tie them, but we
trust he will excuse us if we fail to under
stand his right to occupy it for this purpose.
We will give a year’s subscription to the
Eastman Times, to any one who will take
down our large sign now on the building of
H. Henman & Sou, and remove it over to
our office, and put it up.
Wo will wager our best old beaver hat that
if the State Agricultural Society were to offer
a premium for the best twenty-five acres of j
upland cotton at tho next Fair, that Mv.
John W. Griffiu, two miles from Eastman,
would i take the premium. It is beyond a
doubt the finest cotton we ever saw.
NOTICE. ~
Court of Ordinary, Dodge Cos.
To the Rocul Commissioners of said
- * Oounty:
m Tho public roads throughout the
County, owing to the recent heavy
rains, are, in many places, almost im
passable, the Road Commissioners in
t.hoir respective districts will, there
fore, look after this most important in
terest to the traveling public. You
rtp-e required to see that the road hands
are properly and equally apportioned
to the work, and that the* roads are
all put iu good order. There are gen
eral complaints that hands are uuwill
ir.g to work, and it has been reported
from one district that there was about
forty defaulters. It is your duty to
see that no one is allowed to dodge it,
or o unpunished. Tin* law requ res
fifteen days labor of all who are sub
ject to perform such duty, and it is
your duty, under'the law, to require
that amount of labor of each person
liable to road duty, if necessary.
JOHN J. ROZAR,
Ordinary Dodge Cos.
OUR SISTER TOWNS
Cliaunccy.
Our church at Chauncey has been abandoned
by the workmen for some time, for the lack oi
spondulix. The committee has gone beyond
the amount that was subscribed near a hun
dred dollars, and they have not received tin
amounts that were subscribed by fnty dollars.
Parties tbit have subscribed and not paid, will
do a favor by coming forward and paying tin
amounts to \\. K. Bussey or James Mullin.—
All others that feel disposed to help a gootl
cause can hand their contributions to the same
parties. They will take any amount the con
tributor can spare from fiity cents to ten dol
lars. We need money to complete the church,
and we must have -it. AVill the reader of the
spare us something ? Give it to us, and give ii
freely, and you will never feel the need of thi
amount you gave away.
What Enterprise Will Do.—The firm o.
Sumner, Mullin & Hills is doing a good busi
ness sawing shingles. Commencing the flic
of April, they had shipped on the first o
August to Macon, Atlanta, Griffin and New
York, 1,065,000 shingles. They have a vein
neat little village at their mill which suppor s
some twenty families. Mr. T. E. Sumner and
James Mullin contemplate building themselves
a nice residence near the mill which will be
another attraction to Mullingar. We desire to
see Mullingar stretch herself even to the wa
ters of Gum Swamp.
Mr. C. W. Rollins, one and a half mild
from this place, has sold his plantation to Col.
Dawson, of the law firm of Ham *fc Dawson o.
your town ; and you may soon expect souk
spicy articles from the Col. on what he doesik;
“know about farming,” and sich.
The new store house of W. K. Bussey is
nearing completion. It will be finished in tin
course of two or three weeks, when he expects
to lay in a large supply of new goodjj, which
he will sell sell on tlie old motto of “quick i
sales and small profits. ”
Mount Vernon.
There is a mau in this town who was wor
ried last Saturday evening with an over-abun
dance of fractional currency, so he invested
part of it in regular chain-lightning benzine,
slung himself outside of it, weut home to
where his mother, two brothers and sister-in
law reside, and concluded he would pile the
furniture in the middle of the floor and make
a bonfire. His brother objected, and a small
sized sociable row ensued. About the time the
row was at its height another party appeared
on the scene and took a chance in the lottery cf
curses and blows, and in a few moments order
was r '.stored. The amount of bad grammar
and brimstone used up, is said to have beeu
won a riul, nd yet. no marshal or city officer
nude hi ppe, r mo . ' What's the m tkr?
-Jr-' Thomas Eason, a promising young law
yer, formerly of the firm oi Beasly & Eason,
Reidsville, Ga., bias lately located here, and
together with J. E. Hicks, Esa, who has been
the only lawyer here for some time past, will,
make quite a respectable local bar.
A young man in this town has a novel meth
od of kissing the girls. He asks them to allow
him to measure the width from point to point
of their eyebrows, and promts. > thus to
them of their future matrimonial adventures.
Having nothing t lse handy, he uses Ins pocket
handkerchief as a measure, and having effect
ually blindfolded them, I<‘b ies them square in
the mouth. If any of these girls have fathers
who wear No. 9 boots, we would advise the
young gent to pad his pants.
Our town is improving—new buildings are
going up, and business is beginning to brighten
up considerably.
The quondam flea still flops the nimble som
ersault in the yielding sand of our streets.

This town is blessed with a female telegraph
operator, and all the young men around town
want to commence the study of telegraphy.
Locals scarce, and business improving.
McVille

two-story store house. Their material is now
