All communications should be addressed to

We take pleasure in announcing to our nu-
readers in Appling county that the
official printing of their county will henceforth
t bo found in this paper.
The Savannah Morning News of the 16th
inst. was published on “Frisday.” We query
if they are still running this model daily with
“rats."
The steam saw mill formerly owned by Gen.
' Foster has been “rejuvenated” by its present
owners, Russell A Grimsley, one of whom is a
master mechanic, and the other a master ma
chinist.
Dull Times. —Save the everlasting clatter
of the sawing machines, one could hardly tell
there was any life in our town. Merchants
don’t seem at all anxious to sell, and the plow
ing community seem equally indifferent about |
buying.
To All Whom it May Concern.— Should
wo ever succeed in getting our commission
business in lull blaze in the city of Macon, we
shall not expect to hear our patrons grumble
unless we charge over $2.15 lreight and dray
age on a barrel of flour, sack of oats and 30
pounds of coffee from that city to this place.
The calaboose down by the ditch is full of
female niggers lbr breaking town ordinances.
It is becoming fashionable to punish the “fair
sex,” and subordinate officers do it with impu
nity since Gov. Smith permits them hung when
they di-serve it. One of the ladies, wo hear,
has escaped au and gone to Arkansas.
The Rev. Mr. Way having ascertained that
this portion of the field of his recent labor,
properly belongs to the Macon Presbytery,
will have no more appointments at this place,
llis loss will be deeply felt and his absence
sorely regretted by the citizens of our town.
We hear there is no mail carrier over the
river-road on either side of the Ocmulgee river.
If this is so, now will be a good time to apply
for a mail route from this place to Abbeville,
in Wilcox county. This is a line much need
ed.
We see by the Hawkinsvslle Dispatch that
Major Mathias McOormic, an old citizen of
Pulaski county, and an estimable gentleman,
is dead. The Major was among the oldest,
best and most honored citizens of our native
county. Peace to his ashes.
We hear the town Council are repealing the
tax 1 aws and cutting down the officers’ salaries
thereby lessening the expenses ot tpwn life in
our borough. While you have your hand in
suppose you tinker a little on the road law
and exact less work or reduce the commuta
tat ion. And don’t forget gentlemen to tax
the printing oflice high and often.
Should any mistakes be found in this week’s
issue we hope our readers will excuse them, as
our employes say they can’t hear how to set
type on account of the great noise Mr. Barnett
is making with his tools in fixing us up com
fortably ; and they arc constantly compelled
to dodge the long planks lie slings around at
random. Mr. B. duly appreciates the situa
t on, and has kindly consented to take all the
blame on himself.
The Rev. Mr. Way preached /or the last
time in our village on last Sabbath trom the
text “And they shall be Mine, saitli the Lord
of hosts, in that day when I make up My jew
els,” 3d chapter and 17th verse MalachL The
Rev. gentleman seemed to attach more than
usual importance to these words, not only as
being among the last uttered by the Almighty,
who was now about to withdraw his presence
from man, and exhibit no more visible mani
festations of his presence through his proph
o s, but also because of their encouragement
to those for whom they were intended. Tho
sermon was somewhat lengthy, but exceeding
rich in thought and language, and we think,
among the best of the short ter'es and( liven and by
him at this place. It is somewhat strange that
no move was made by any one present to ex
press their appreciation of his services, as his
visits were altogether by railroad, and in con
sequence of the distance, somewhat expensive.
It is to be hoped this matter will not be over
looked, even yet, by our towns-people, who are
generally ready to respond to a c ill of liber
ality.
This issue concludes Vol. 1 of our sheet,
and leaves us to hope that our friends and
former patrons will be generous in renewing
their subscriptions and advertising favors.
If we have done anything, friends, during the
past year that pleased you, cherish it as a pre
cious rarity ; and if many things have displeased
you, please, for your own reputations, express
no public surprise, but take, as our handiest
currency in remuneration for our numerous
past year’s blunders, our promise to strive to
grow better as we grew older ; and in return
for your past kind considerations, please accept
a most hearty “thank you all.”
We had the pleasure of an interview with
Mr. W. R. Shadman a few days since, who
has been engaged with Messrs. W. E. Dodge
& Cos., as Assistant Superintendent for the list
eighteen years in their milling operations at
tV illiamsport, Penn. We learn from Mr. Shad
man that those mills have an average
capacity of two hundred thousand feet, b >aril
measure, per day, including breakage and
other mishaps, having manufactured thirty-one
millions feet from the 10th day of April to No
vember—a little over a million a week. Those
parties also have another similar establishment
near by under the same organization, that
turns out eight hundred thousand feet lumber
per week. Mr Shadman informs us that
their Williamsport mill when A nm to its ftll
capacity, with average sized stock, will make
the almost incredible amount of two hundred
and seventy-five thousand feet of lumber per
day. As Mr. Shadinan’s ostensible ibject in
visiting this section is for the purpose of se
lecting a mill location, and as much will no
doubt depend upon his report which cannot
he otherwise than favorable, we are of the
opinion th, t we shall soon have one or more
of th >si! gat establishments put in operation
by this wealthy Company somewhere on the
line of the M. A B. Road, and perhaps near
this place. It may be well enough in this con
nection to remark that the elder Mr. Dodge
'•' jll probably be here in person sometime in
the early part of next month.

A MODEL NEWSPAPER
The Savannah Daily News.
Tlio S:\vaiinnh Daily Nokning News is ac
knowledged by the press and people to be the
l>est daily paper sooth of Louisville and east
of New Orleans. Carrying with it the prestige
and reliability of age, and it has all the vigoi
and vitality of youth, and its enterprise as a
gatherer of the latest and freshest news hits
astonshed its cotemporaies and met the appro
bation ot the bublic.
During the year 1873 no expense of time,
labor, and money will be spared to keep the
Mooning News ahead of all its competitors in
Georgia journalism, and to deserve the flatter
ing enconiuins heaped upon it from all quar
ters. There has as yet, been no serious at
tempt made to rival the special telegrams which
the News inaugurated some years ago, and
the consequence, is that the reader in search
cf the latest intelligence always looks to the
Morning News, The telegraphic arrange
ments of the paper ar£ such that the omis.- ions"
made by the general press reports are promptly
and reliably supplied by its special correspond
ents.
The Morning News has lately been enlarged
to a thirty-six column paper, and this broad
scope of type embraces, daily, everything of
interest that transpire in the domain of litera
ture, Art, science, Politics, Religion, and Gen
eral intelligence, giving to the reader more
and better digest than other papar in matter
the State,
It is perhaps needless to speak of the poli
tics of Morning News. For years and
years indeed, since its estalislnnent, —it lias
been a representative Southern paper, and
from that time to the present, in all conjunct
ures, it has consistently and persistently main
tained Democratic States Lights principles, and
labored, with an ardor and devotion that know
no abatement, 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 the
ensuing year and several new attractions will
be added.
The Georgia News items, with their quaint
and pleasant humor, and the epitome of Florida
affairs, will he continued during the year.
The local department will be the most com
plete and reliable to be found in any Savan
nah paper, and the commercial columns will
be full and accurate.
The price of the Daily is $lO 00 per annum
$2.00 for six months; SI.OO for one month.
THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS.
This edition of the Morning News is es
pecially recommended to those who have n*t
the facilities of a daily mail. Everything that
has been said in regard to the daily edition
may be repeated of the Tri-weekly. It is made
up with great care, and contains the latest des
patches and market reports. The price of this
edition is $6.00 per annum, $3.00 for six months,
and $1.50 for three months.
THE WEEKLY NEWS.
The Weekly Morning News particularly rec
ommends itself to the farmer and planter, and
to those who live off the line ol railroad. It is
one ol' the best f.mnlv tbe country
■ind its Ormgs it within the reach ot
