Chipley writes us that “the parties interested will be surprised to learn how little cash it will require to ac complish what they want.” Let everybody turn out and put their shoulders to the wheel. A long pull, a strong pull, qud a pull altogether, and the locomotive’s whis tle will be heard on our streets ere many days. Ciceronian Debating Club. —The question, “Should Harris County adopt the stock law ?” was decided in favor of the affirmative.

Beef Mabket.— Read the card of Mr. Mclntosh, in which he announces that he has. opend a beef market in HamifiSti. This is the first time such a thing was ever tried in Hamilton, and Mr. M. deserves encouragement for his eutei prise. Ho sells good beef at a ...reasonable price, and we hope he will receive sufficient pat ronage to warrant him in keeping up the market. Thief Caught. —A man calling himself Calhoun, tv ho has been work ing for Mr. Mttrrab, near town, stole some Clothes while the family were at church last Sunday, and came to town. Mr. M. overhauled him here Monday, and took the clothes away from him. lie left town rather scan tily attired—having ou no hat or Hamilton Grange. —A notice will be found elsewhere from a committee appointed by the Hamilton Grange to solicit proposals looking to the fur nishing of goods by merchants to Grangers at reduced rates.

Hamilton Grange, ) Hamilton, Ga., Nov. 13, 1873. f Y our especial attention is respect fully invited to the fact, that hereto fore we have committed a large por tion of our business to your care (and desire to continne), for which we have paid, in our opinion, very heavy commissions. Our necessities demand more than ordinary retrenchment. You say, and it is generally con ceded, that agriculture underlies all other interests; and you tell us that you rejoice in our prosperity, and monrn when adversity overtakes us. We now offer you an opportunity to verify your often-repeated assertions, and ask your mutual aid, in order to maintain that interest upon which your success depends. We ask jus tice—not charity. Should you think proper to submit propositions, you can address either of us, or the Secretary of Hamilton Grange, stating terms, etc. J- U C. Williams,' 3. TV Johnson, J. G. Smith, Chas. L. Dendy, ’Wm. I. Hudson, W. C. Johnston, Committee. Cuba. —The massacre of the Virgin ias pi isoners is the prevailing topic at the present time. Indignation meetings arc being held throughout the country, and thousands of men are ready to spring to arms in de fence of Cuban liberty. It is a little surprising, and also an evidence of the loyalty of the Southern people to the Federal government, that in no section is the cause of Cuba more heartily espoused than by the late soldiers of the Confederate States. We doubt there being any war with Spain. Even if there should he, and the acquisition of Cuba is the result, we fail to see any benefit that it will bring to the South. It will come ip as* Radifcal State, with free negroes as the larger proportion of its population, who will assist, by their votes, in continuing in power the present corrupt administration. Stoves. —Which is the stove house of Columbus ? That of W. 11. Rob arts & Go. You can there get any kind of cooking or heating stove you want, besides grates, plated ware, crockery and glass ware, hollow and wood ware, pocket and table cutlery, and house furnishing goods generally. They also manufacture tin, copper and sheet-iron ware of every descrip tion. Their prices will be found to correspond with the hard times. Having had dealings with this house, we can recommend it fully to our readers. Our New York Letter. —Another letter from our correspondent, W. D. T M will be found in our paper, this week.. Although we differ with him in many of his views, our ideas fully agree in regard to the struggle of la bor against capital. The Atlanta Herald does not ex change with us, hut, at the request of the writer, and in justice to the Her ald^'we send that” piper a marked copy. The Atlanta Herald. —We pub lish, in to-day’s paper, a communica tion relating to some strictures which lately appeared in the Herald on a letter written from New York by Mr. W. D. Trammell. We have not seen the Herald’s article, and know nothing of the merits of the controversy. • — r~ ■ ■' sna n i • Peacock & Swift desire to state that they are selling dry goods cheaper than ever. Persons indebted to them are requested to settle up at once. • a ii Withheld. —The Columbus Enqui rer states that it will withhold, for the present, the promised articles on the Waddell-Rhillips duel. "... .. 7 I ,' ■■■■ Fight with a Snake. —The East man Times says that Miss Jane Woodruff, who is teaching school about five miles from town, was on her way from school the other even ing, when she felt a heavy tug at her dress, and looking around, what was her horror to behold a huge rattle snake, with his fangs fastened in a frill on her skirt- Breaking his hold, he struck her the second time, and again fastened his deadly fangs in her dress, when she, with remarkable presence of mind, sat her foot on the reptile’s neck, and tearing her dress away, sprang out of his reach. 33F” Nearly every county treasu rer iu lowa was thrown out of office at the recent election in that State, and many of them sefetlir to be terri bly alarmed at the general overhaul ing of books that must follow, A local Journal says: “The Jackson County Treasurer takes time by the forelock, and announces that $20,000 of the funds in his keeping was stolen the other night by burglars.’’ No Suspension.— Gov Smith has written a letter to tire clerk of Blakely court refusing to extend the time for the collection of taxes. He says the G°' ernor can suspend the collection of taxes due to the State only until the meeting of the next General As sembly ; and this he does not feel that lie can consistently do,, under the circumstauces, especially as there is no cause or reason, so far as he is Informed, which requires a' refer ence to, or action by, the Legislature. The rate of taxation imposed by the State is very low, being only four tenths of one per cent., or forty cents on one hundred dollars worth of prop erty. The law requires tax collec tors to close their books by the 15th of December. If this law was sus pended, and additional time granted for the payment of taxes, it would be impossible for tho Stase to meet the next installment of interest upon the public debt, falling dne in January and February next. Any failure to paj this interest promptly would se riously injure the credit of .the State, and embarrass, if not defeat, the financial policy adopted by the Leg islature at the last session. A Fatal Dose of Ceoton Oil.—A special to the Courier-Journal from IlaiTodsburg, Ky., states that Mr. S. Nansford, an old and respected citi zen,died after a few days illness re cently, of what was supposed to bo flux. During*his illness, linseed oil was recommended by friends, and the doctor wrote a prescription for a small quantity, to be taken internally, which was put up at the drug store of Win. Payne <fc Cos. After taking the first dose, the patient suffering severely, becoming delirious, and calling for ice water, he died appar ently in agony. His wife afterwards taking up the bottle of supposed lin seed oil, found it to be croton oil which she had administered. The fatal mistake created great excite ment in the community, and it is re ported that the widow of the deceased has brought suit against the druggist for $25,000 damages.- Both parties are highly connected in this State. A Party of Hunters and Their Cook. —Last spring a party of buffalo hunters, six in number,were camped at Two Buttes, about twenty miles from the present town of Granada, Bent county. A man known only by the name of “ Jimmy,” was their cook. Soon after eating breakfast qn the morning in question all began hb feel srek, and in a short while it be came evident that the food they had eaten contained poison. They had recourse to tobacco tea which caused them to vomit the poisoned 'food. “Jimmy” was-suspected and watch ed. Recently he was seen to put Rome white powder, which proved to be arsenic, in the coffee. The scoun drel desired to poison the hunters to secure' their outfit. The hunters made a target of “Jimmy,’’ and when they were done with him, he wasn’t of much use to himself or any one else. He was formerly a New York rough, and his bones are bleach ing upon the arid plains of South Colorado. —Denver Newt. To Our Friends and Customers.
