Divine Services
Will be held regularly twice each month in

First Sunday : Rev. D. W. Bus Hey, of So. Ga.
Conference.
Baptist.— Rev. J. S. Thompson preaches
4th Sunday and Saturd ty before.
All irregular appointments will be giveD pub
licity through the Times, provided we are put
iu possession of them ; and we will be under
many obligations to anyone who will inform
us of any such. To secure an insertion, they
must be handed in on Mondays.
Look out for the red X wlli< ‘ h denotes that
your subscription is out or about to expiic,
and that your paper will be promptly stopped
at the expiration of the time subscribed for.
Wo hope every one of our subscribers to whom
we thus give notice will promptly renew.
Locals scarce.
That pump at the Court House is as dry as
a guzzler’s gullet. Why don’t the authorities
look into this matter, and make it possible to
get wuter without coming to town for it.
Remember the prayer meeting, to-night, and
don’t fail to go ; remember the teachers’ meet
ing, Friday night, and if you are a teacher put
in an appearance ; remember the singing ap
pointment, Tuesday night, and go up and
assist.
Circus and Menagerie. -By a private letter
from Haight & Cos., we are informed that the
Great Eastern Menagerie, Caravan, Aviary,
Hippodrome and Circus will visit this locality
in November. The Times will give our read
ers due notice oi their coming, so that our
people may have the chance of seeing this
woudei of the world.
Off. The editor leaves for Savannah to-day,
and during the remainder of the week will lay
before her enterprising merchants the claims
of the Times as an advertising medium for
those who wish to reach the citizens of Dodge
and adjoining counties. Now is the time to
advertise.
• Hevethy.—While advices come to us that
almost all the other towns in our State are
more or less afflicted with various diseases, we
are proud to be able to say, that little or no
sickness has been iu our town the present sea
sun. Certainly a good recommendation.
Outside. —By witf of variety we give mis
pellaneo* matter im outside this week, in
place of the poetry and story usually given.—
The Agricultural Returns of Georgia is quite
a valuable piece of information, besides there
jvre other interesting and readable articles
which we hope will prove palatable to our
readers.
1 Sm.e. W’o are informed that Messrs.
I. H. Russell AJ. H. Griiuslev have bought
out the steam saw mill of General Foster, and
will take charge the 20th of the present mouth.
While we hope the fact of his selling out does
not carry with it (he General’s removal from
our midst, yet we wish the new firm every sue
ccsk. Thev are gentlemen of energy and in
tegrity, and will richly merit it at the hands o
the public.
Resignation Election.- At the 1 cachers
Meeting on last Friday night, Mr. T. E. Sum
ner, the effleieut and popular Librarian, re
signed his position, for satisfactory reasons,
a ad an election being entered into Major Chas.
U. Armstrong was chosen to fill the vacancy.
While we are very sorry to part with our jolly
“Thad,” still we have unbounded confidence
in the Major's ability to fill the position in that
way and manner that shall crown his lofty
brow with the teeming honors now setting so
gracefully upon his predecessor’s.
Advertising at present, judging lrom the
doors and walls iu town, is brisk. Ihere can
l>e seen posters of all sizes, styles and colors,
pisted on the walls and dilapidated tences,
from the smallest written invitation to inspect
some iresh arrival of patent parched peanut
hnllem on one corner, and some dead-shot m
fallable cure for an over-indulgence of the
same on the next, to the large gilt tin poster,
warning you to beware of the deadly bite ol
the venomus chills and fever by supplying
yourself with a half dozen bottles of some lat
ent quack nostrum, -‘bigness is bisness.’’
The September number of Wood’s House
hold Magzine is on our table. We always
have a good word to say for this publication
it is such a whole-souled book—so wide-awake,
so lively and entertaining, yet always so chaste
and refined. It is a regular little go-ahead,
too, as comparison between its numbers will
prove. We learn that the firm of S. S. Wood,
A Cos. dissolved in March the “Cos” (S. E-
Shiites, Mayor of Newburgh,) retaining po
sesion of the magazine and recalling H. •
Osborn (Tenoroon) as editor. So, though the
publication really changed hands, it has not
suffered from the management of anew pub
lisher, or anew editor, but under the redoubled
efforts of its energetic proprietor, has gained
new force and new attractiveness. Price only
one dollar a year. Address

laconic pie-crust.
Queby—Fob Otb City Fathers.— What are
town taxes paid for, and are all people in the
same business subject to the same tax ? We
may, perhaps, feel called on to answer this
question for ourselves.
Can’t some man invent a self-grinding, rota
’v motion, grub-and-smash-’em mosquito trap?
We pause for reply.
A man set a dead-fall to catch a big bed bug
'be other night, lumped up next morning,
’'tapped his largest com under it and pulled
higgH. He says the arrangement is a hum
bn{.
We direct your attention to tax sales in (hi*
issue, by C. B. Murrell, J/arshaL
Renew your subscriptions to the Times.
We heard a man advising a young man ont
of employment to “sharpen both ends of shoe
pegs and sell them for oats," not long since.
The genial lied bug still picks his with
regularity iu the cottage of the average nnum
mit
“Where are my hat?” is the way a soft young
man puts it, who visits a certain place in town
we won’t mention.
Why is it a man can t come into a printing
office and keep his hands off the type and
presses?
Why don’t our subscribers call regularly
for their papers and clear our delivery boxea
The band resumed their regular meetings on
last Monday night
How about that concert for the Christmas
holidays?
Moral—Eleven o'clock Saturday night, an
open bar room and four young men playing
billiards. Does this thing ever go on until the
“wee siiia’ hours ayant the twal?”
No Sheriff's sales on last Tuesday.
The magnanimous city fathers have taken
the tax off’ hotels. Oil, law-dy !
Cotton picking has commenced in earnest
The Baud propose to purchase books, and
play on sigh-and-tif-ick principles.
Sunday evening is a nice time to bathe, so
thought eighteen j'oung men who chartered a
wagon last Sunday.
Prayer meeting to-night. Are you going?
We hear it rumored that Judge Taylor
proposes to remove to Cochran.
When a young man goer, to see a girl eight
times a week, we think something s the matter.
Does the cap fit any one?
The musical musquito is sparing in his sere
nade here of late. Thanks.
M e notice with pleasure the return to our
town ot Mr. Charlie Peacock, who, we under
stand, purposes remaining here for a season.
Died
In Eastman. Ga., on Saturday the 9th day of
August, James Louis, son of J. W. and F E.
Collins, aged 9 years, 3 months and 15 days.
Passed away in childhood’s hour,
Ere sin had taught to feel its power,
His gentle spirit. Now at rest
In Heaven’s light, among the blest
He sleeps the angel’s gentle sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
