THE EASTMAN TIMES. WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 3, 1873. ~~ " OUR AGENTS Traveling Agent.—Captain J. D. Mosely. Local Agents. -Capt. Eli McCroau. Bethany, Ga.; Hon John Mcßae, McVille Gh. ; Walter T. Mcvlrther, Lumber City, Ga.; Town ami County. Divine Services Will be held regularly twice each month in the Court House, by the following ministers : 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 Wood's Household Magazine, Newburgh, N. Y. 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Send Your Address.
