Mysterious.—A gay and festive widower was een promenading through town at the early hour of 2 oclock, a. is , a few mornings .’nee with a saddle on bin back, thinking, no don , of the erotsjca occasioned by bridgn on road*. Wherefore * - Real Estate Bale. —Mr. A. B C. Davis has sold hia splendid residence in the southern por tion of the city, to Mr. W. T. Maynard, who will become a permanent citizen. We welcome Mr. Mijnard io our city, aa he is a gentleman of w irth, Intelligence, and usefulness. Financial Report of tue Secretary and Thea her of tue Crrr Council. —The above r. port was handed in for publication, just before w;o,r>g to press. The report is so full and voluml- K n tt i! a Is almost impossible to get it out this I tie report will appear however in our next. Another Gin House Burned—We regret to leurn that on last Tuesday, about 3 o’clock, the gm hunt of Mr. J. F. Ctower, containing seven hales of cotton, was completely destroyed by tire.

Forsyth Grange —This organization met on last Thursday and, amongst other important mat Wrs transacted, the following delegates were elected to attend the Convention of the Grangers and Farmers of the Southern States, to be held in Atlanta ou the 25th: L. A. Ponder and M. T. Harper; Alternates—J. T. Crowder, R C. Me- Gough, and \V. I). Stone. Good Cotton Picking —Mr. Jr*. M. White bus a negro on his plicu who picked t 55 pounds of cotton in one day, last week. Mr. Gu* Smith “ sees that,” and goes him better, thus: his son, fourteen years ot age. In a contest with a negro toy, picked, in cue day, £B6 pounos; the negro picking 688 pound*. This exceeds any picking that we have heard of this season, in Middle Geor gia, and is truly wonderful for this section Storm in Macon.— We understand that con siderable damage was done in Macon and vicinity, on Sunday night, by the s’orm. A portion of the rooting of the tine court-house, the Lauier House, and several warehouses were greatly damsged and ten to pieces. The shade trees on Cotton Ave nue were torn up by the roots, aud much damage otberwk c done. Passengers ou the train from Atlanta also re port considerable damage done in that city. A Frightful Condition of Affairs.— From Mr. Thomas E. Chambliss, who has just returned from Barbour and Montgomery counties, In Ala bama, we hear distressing accounts of the condi tion of farmers in that section. He says that the luigest plantations are almost deserted, and that the finest and most valuable lands can be pur chased at a nominal price and on almost untimit >. ■ Tui'.2'"i‘ V made an almost to'at A Sad Death. —We are pained to announce the d-ath ol Mr. Jese Aycoik. aged 70 years, wh.eh occurred at bis residence iu this city, on Sunday morning. “ Uncie Jeß*e” is so well known to our citizens, that it 1* useless to rt'er particularly to bis many virtues. llaviDg occupied official position in our midst fer many years, he came in contact daily with all classes of our people, and his virtues and faults were all alike known and discussed. The general judgement must be, since he has been laid in the cold earth, that here lies a good heart ed, generous man, respected by his friends for his many acts of kindness —hated by none—whose long and painfull illness, endeared him more close ly to the community, and whose Christian virtues endured to the end, entitle him to the reward. But few clods, that cover mortality in the earth, will find a more generous form to inter, than the clay that wrapt him in his cold grave to-day. Triumph to his spirit—Peace to his ashes! Citizens’ Meeting—lmportant Resolutions —The Town Currency to be Sustained. —At the citizens’ meeting in the Court-house, at 7 o’clock, a. m., Nov. 12, 1573, Capt. J. M. Ponder (in the absence of Mayor T. B. Cataniss) was called to the chair, and Andrew Dunn chosen Secretary. The Chairman having called upon Mr. J. R. Banks, that gentleman explained that the object of the meeting was to take decisive steps to sus tain the currency iu the emergency of an adverse decision by the Courts; aud also pledging per sonally to pay the taxes that may be assessed by the City Council, in carrying out the contract en tered into by the City Council and 6ur bankers and brokers, faithfully and to the letter. Captain 8 D. Mobley, at the request of tue meeting, gave a full and succinct statement ot the issuing of the currency, the steps taken to make it a sale circu lating medium. On motion to appoint a committee of seven to report business for tue meeting, the Chair ap pointed J. R. Banks, Monroe Clower, Geo. A. Cabuniss, Jell. Dumas, W. A. Banks, Jeff. Hogan, E. M. Amos. The Committee, having retired lor consultation, returned, and through the chairman reported the following resolutions: Wbereas, certain citizens of Forsyth have re cently tiled a bill seeking to enjoin the collection ol (axes by the City Council oi Forsyth, aud the circulation, by the Council, oi the currency of the town, and said case has not yet been decided by the Court; and Whereas, it is the fixed determination ot the undersigned citiz ns of the town, to make the curt envy good iu any event, without, regard to any decision regarding its validity, aud tulu, by all means in our power, the confidence ot the public in said circulation; De it resolved. That we hereby bind ourselves to pay such taxes as may be levied by the town Council to redeem the currency ot the town, iu accordance with its contract, and #e turther bind ourselves to receive, as usual, such currency for merchandise sold by us, aud lor all claims due to us. Resolved, further, That our confidence in the currency is unimpaired, and we declare it to be our judgment and conviction, as business men, that it is pertectly sate, aud is without exception as good a local currency as we have ever known. Resolved, luriher, That the said currency is worthy of, and should iccciv., the u: qualified confidence and endorsement ol the public, and that we, whose signatures are hereunto affixed, do bind ourselves fully to carry out these resolu tions aud agreement to make it good. Be it turther resolved, That we cordially invite to co-operate with us, those of our fellow-citizens who have differed with ua in the past, and who have instituted the proceedings referred to in these resciutious. Rev. D. J. My rick made a few earnest, praci eal remaik* upon the currency, its istue. aud use, •stiil .-peaking of the liiora! question involved, plainly demonstrated that uo citizen, wuo voted lor the currency nud approved the contract be tween the City Council and the baukers aud bro kers, could refuse to submit to taxation, to carry out in good faith the contract without dishonor, even should the decision of the Court be averse. Au importunity was thea given to sign the rvs oluti ns and the pledges, which was responded to with an alacrity not often witnessed. D. G. Proctor, 8. D. Mobiey, Monroe Clower, Jiff. Hogan, The Great Eastern Circus and Mlnageri*. This excellent combination of art-n'c novelties, zoological attraction, and museum wonders, will exhibit in our city on the 12th of December. The wonderful success obtained by this truly South ern show, is not only wonderful, but indeed start ling. Oiganized in the city of Atlanta only a few years ago, by gentlemen o! no reputation as show men, and but Utile experience in the business, it has made character for excellence and superiority by no means confined to this continent, but world-wide. With a grand combination of leap ers, vaulters, tumblers, and riders, of world-wide fame, the most choice aDd elegant array of horses, with every species of strange, wonderful and mysterious animals, from the jungles of South America to the deserts of Africa, there is no rea son why the exhibition should not be worthy of seeing, when considered from a temporal stand point. There may be reasons of a moral charac ter why many should not go to the show. As we are the keepers of no man’s conscience, every one must 'act as duty dictates. To those, however, who have no conscientious scruples on this ques-. tlon, we say frankly, from the opinions of the press, that all will be pleased and amused by at tending thie grand exhibition. Important.—A6 a matter of general informa tion, and for the benefit of those interestad, we publish below the 4800th section of the Code of Georgia, which says: No person after having executed a mortgage deed to personal property (cotton, stocks, &c.) shall be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the same with intent to defraud the mortagee unless the consent of the mortagee be first obtained before payment ot the indebtedness for which the mort gage deed was executed; and if auy person shall violate the provisions of this section, aud loss is sustained by tue holder of the mortgage, the offender shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor aud upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine double the sum or debt which 6aid mort gage was given to secure; and upon failure to pay said fine immediately, the person so couvicted shall be imprisioned io the common jail lor a pe riod ot not less than six nor more than 12 months. ■ ♦+♦ Messrs Bramblett & Buo.—This clever, en terprising aud successful firm, live recently re moved to their handsome and elegant new brick store, opnosite Greer’s Hotel.
