Attention, Twilight Serenaders. —You are requested to meet at the band room Thurs day (to-morrow) evening, at the usual hour of meetiug. 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. w J 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. 31cRae. 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 is on the improve. Messrs. McMillan & Mcßae will -shortly commence the erection of a fine two-story store house. Their material is now on the ground. TO THE YOUNG MEN OF THE 14th SENATORIAL DIST. I have recently' received a circular letter from E. S. Gaillnrd, M. D., Dean ol the Faculty Louisville Medical Col lege, Louisville, Ky., notifying me that any poor and deserv ng young man selected by me from this District, will be entitled to a Iteneficiary sebol arship, awarded by the Trustees ol said College to this Senatorial District. Not knowing what young men in the District are dcsirious of securing a medical education, and who can thus be materially aided and benefit ted, 1 call public attention to this notice, so that 1 mav confer the benefaction promptly and appropriately.
