We fail to see why the [lekalD should work for the county any cheaper than it works for the City Council of G ron boro’, or any private eiti?ep of the county. If we hid few o no other ad veitisements in the Herald, we might consider a proposition to work fur had rations, but. as this is not the case, we decline to uhlish the Presentments on the terms off red.

Sub sequently it was enlarged and embraced all licit section west of Sparta road lead ing from Groenesboro’; the northern boun dary was extended to Greenesboro’ so as to embrace the residenpe of the late Judge Dawson, as he used to tell the ladies of Crackers Xeck ' hen he w-as a candidate. “Lick Skillet,” “Yamicraw” and ‘ Pinch O-t” were swallowed tip by this extension.

NEWS. Asa matter of interest the people should know that the seasons have been variable this year. The winter was cold and wet We i. .( two snows within one week, and a j heavy sleet, which injured theyoung pines | and destroyed some small animals. These items are meniicned, because peo ple are unobservant'of small matters, atnl too early forget important events. We have had some very hot and dry weather this summer, and some rainy days and now heavy dews. We may reasonably look for cold weather before winter is over; there ma\ .e need of file wood, warm clothing mi : ii supply of provender for stock. ‘”or buui sat supientibus MILLS.

B@“NOW IS THK TIME TO SAVE MONEY ! ~A sept. 2, 1877 6ms For the Herald. I’eumfxd, Ga., Sept 18, 1877. Ed. Herald, — We must beg space in the celumns of vour valuable paper, to write of Mercer High School, the far mers and farm prospects in our vicinity, and of our town generally. The fall Term of Mercer High School opened with about 70 pupils. Of Prof. V. T. Sanford’s qualifications, we need scarcely speak. He is one of the very best educators of youth in the whole country. The Musical Department of the School is yet. under ’the control of Miss Stakeley, who, wo learn, gives universal satisfaction The deportment of the pupils is unexceptionable. The larger boys and girls deport thamselvi s as young gentlemen and young ladies. The smaller ones may be truly termed good boys and girls. Discipline,is one of the best evidences of a good teacher, and as a disciplinarian Prof. Sanford ranks high. The merchants are Messrs. JJoswell Sc Bros., J. Vason McWhorter and J. M. l'luker. The first named firm are doing a large and paying business. — Their sales per annum aaiouut to more than 835,0(10, We r,re informed by the junior member of this firm (whom we regard as the politestand shrewdest member,) that they have lust nothing by bad debts, notwithstanding they sell largely on tiuie secured by mortgage and homestead waivers. Our merchants are now receiving their Fall and Winter stocks, which embrace all the articles needed by their customers. Upon an examination of goods and prices, we find goods superi or in quality, and in prices lower than elsewhere in the county. This being true, it is to the interest of purchasers to buy goods in Penfiold. 'file highest market price will be paid for Cotton during the season. The first bale of cotton of the season was sold on the sih inst. to J. Vason McWhorter, by Chas. M. Sanders, Esq , at 12 \ cents per pound. This leads us to speak of the farmers living in and adjacent to Penfield, among whom may be named as the most successful —Jerry J. Sanders, and. M. Sanders, Willie Thompson. Maj II L McWhorter and the Messrs. Bos well. We are informed that the first named farmer raises all of his meat and corn and other plantation supplies The crops in our vicinity wiil be shoit, owing to drought. Under the head of improvements go ing on in our town, we allude to the Steam Gin of Capt J. K. Sanders.— We hear that Capt. Sanders proposes to gin cotton for his neighbors at the unprecedentedly low price of 82 50 per bale. The Gin is a very superior one —Gullett’r* Steel Brush. A Condenser and Self-feeder will be attached It is claimed that cotton ginned on this gin will bring from i to £ of a cent per pound more than that gyrned on com mon Gins. In consideration of the low rates for ginning, and the price which cotton ginned on this Gin will bring above that ginned on common gins, to gether with Capt. SV reputation for honesty and fair dealing, we predict a large patronage. In speaking of our town generally, we have to say, that we have two able mini-tern in Revs. Ilenry Newton and C li. Strickland. Of physicians, we have three, Drs. W. B. Arrington, T W. Landrum an I Joe W. Sanders, all of whose are eminently qualified for the profession of medicine. We have three lawyers in embryo—Hamp McWhorter, Oliri Sanders and W. SI. C. Hand, whom application, talent, genteel social bearing bespeak success for them. AVe conclude with two widowers who visit our town. Their good looks and qualities are commended To ladies who are in quest of good husbands They made model husbands.
