NEWS & FARMER. LQ O A.X->: # FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1871. • - -■ -■ EF Oar friends in Jefferson and sur rounding counties, will confer n great fa vor by keeping us posted as to current events, items of local interest, fee., &c., transpiring in their neighborhoods. All such information left at the News Sc Fabmcß office in Louisville, will be thankfully received and duly aeknowl edged. , oroomcs Can be found next and oor to McGowan & Stratford’s Store on Broad Street, where we will be pleased to meet any and all of our friends. Call in gentle men, and subscribe to the News & Fak mku, and we promise as good a weekly •paper as any in Middle Georgia. Price $2,50 per year. ~THI m TOOS Make our Streets less lively, end oar Merchants, though offering gc-.d bar gains, are not overran with easterners. The legal advertising for Jefferson county will appear in the New* If Farm er next week, and regularly thereafter, v It will be found in no other paper. The merchants of Louisville evinee a lively spirit of enterprise as will be seen by reference to our advertising columns. Few towns in this State of a similar pop ulation, can show the same spirit of on. terprise. BSUSBOE i) Our town had the pleasure of a visit last week from the Rev. Dr. Robert Ir vine, who preached a aeries of sermons in the Baptist Ghnreh. The Dr. is one of the ablest Presbyterian ministers in the Sonth. We hope Louisville will be honored with many visits from him. The congregation on last Sabbath was very large, a great many having to remain out of doors, FEEING. A couple of gentloman left town the other morning and caught 113 perck with hooks and lines, and returned to town before 12 o’clock; and in the afternoon a party of young ladies and gentlemen went out and one of the young ladies caught a black fish that measured two *eet and a half, and weighed ten pounds. Vc understand she “named her hook,” bioh doubtless accounts for this extra ordinary piece of luck. PIC-NIC. :) Tho Sabbath Sehool of this plaoe had a union Pie-Nic on Tuesday last, hot business prevented our attendance, whish we regret exceedingly, though we ere fearful that the weather prevented from long enjoying themselves, as there wts a pretty heavy nun fell about twelve o’clock. Let us try and have it over, in the way of a fishing party at Judge Walker’s Mill. What say the young people to this 7 FABX M80BXB& We learn that some of our farmers are losing their bands. Nine left one plan tation last week without any cause what ever, unless it was that they were tired of work. The best remedy we knew of to prevent thia trouble is, to advertise every one who has signed a contract and left his employers, thus preventing any one else from giving him employ ment. We say posh the law on these scoundrels and make them return to their . rightful employers and fulfil their eon s tracts MASK 70UB CLOTHING! Not with a stencil plate, for that will smear and blot, but with one of those in imitable machines, the “Acme Linen Marker," for sale by Mr. H. W. J. Ham of our town, who is the General. Agent for the State of Georgia. For the pur pose to which it is adapted, it ie certain ly without a rival. He has for sale also, the "Acme Card Printer,” just the thing business 'men need. He wishes to em ploy Agents for these machines. Write him for circulars and terms- Cull and 'teaminS these machines at the Store fcf Messrs. WILKINS A HOPKINS. Louisville, May 5, 18T1.—It. COtJBT WS3K- Next week the Jeffeteon Superior Court will be in session, and we hope to meet a great many citizenafrom the sur .jrounding country. We heir oi but llt , lie business on the docket, however. It is thought by some, that Court will not last more than three or four days. There is not a single criminal ease on the dock et this term. Tho Beada Throughout tho county are all in very good condition, and especially to, when we consider that we have so much rain during the Spring. \ In our agricultural departing will be found regularly contributions from resi dent planters, able Southern eontribu tora, and selections from the Oest cur rent agricultural magasines and paper*- We eonsider this department M one of the greatest importunes, and in its the attention of our planters to»J Gontri\ butions will gladly be received. 1 ’ i Encouraging. The cordiality with Which the Nsws & Fabmcb has been reeeived, thus far, bae been beyond our most sanguine ex pectations. Every body seems to greet us with joy, end we have as yet to bear of the first man who says be* is too poor to take the Nxws Sc Farmer. We don't believe that man lives in Jefferson county; if be does, let him come forward and make known the fact, and wo will make him a present of a year's subscrip tion to the paper. We Waut every man in the eoonty to become a subscriber to the New* If Farmer. » The Crops- We believe some of our farmers are a little behind with their cotton, on ac count of so much wet weather. Corn, we learn, is up pretty well ail over the coun ty and looking well. We are glad to learn there has been a great deal more planted this season than last. OTOBEMNNINa We ars highly flattered at the favora ble auspices attending the commence ment of the Nbws Sc Farmbr. We start with a good list of subscribers and a handsome advertising patronage. Au gusta, appreciating the advantage, of a first class newspaper in this section, has contributed largely to our support, and makes our first edition radiant with invi tations for "business” to that noble old city. Savanuah, too,[will doubtless soon represent bekself: Our people must re member that those who do the best busi ness, advertise liberally, aad when they wish to makt purchases, should always oonsult the columns of the Newt If Farm er, as a directory. Visit to Jefferson County. It was our pleasure receutly to visit that famous old county, Jefferson, aud that most beautiful and retired village, Louisville. Louisville is situated two and a half miles from Bartow, ou the Central Railroad, and is reached by one of the most pleasant and beau tiful drives it was ever our fortune to experience. The face of the country from Bartow to Louisville is nearly e von— occasionally a little undulating, but tho’ you cross the Ogeechee river over half a doxeu bridges and as many embank ments, yet the road is free from steep hills, and the frightful red mud which threatens to “Stick” travelers in the ad jacent counties lying above Jefferson. Bartow of itself is quite a village, sup port* a good school and one of the larg est country or [village stores, that ever fell beneath our observation. The store is owned in part by the affable and ac commodating Mr. M. A. Evans, who is kind enough to keep conveyances for passengers who Ml to connect with the regular hack line, to reach Louisville. Bartow is finely located, and being the depot for a vast section of the sur rounding country will undoubtedly be a place of much importance at some future day. Louisville is without doubt one of the quietest, prettiest towns we ever saw. The buildings ire mostly, perhaps all, except eome public buildings, construct-, ed of wood, and are neatly painted; the fencing too, and ornamental grounds of the town are also kept neatly painted, giving the town aa attraction and taste ful aspect. , T t. Better society than that of Jefferson county cannot be found in the State. The people, sg a rule, are high-minded, public spirited, educated and refined, and before the war, were wealthy. Sev eral excellent sclpols in the county are at this time very liberally patronized, among which we may mention that of the academy at Louisville, Way’s Church, 'Bethany, and Bartow. Some of the fiiest farming lands in the State, lie in Jefferson county, those north and west of Loaitville, near the river, being most celebrated. A little more ‘‘jution to agriculture, the organization, Mubs and societies in tbeoounty would accomplish much good. We regret that otr time was so limit ed that we were at Able to visit the va rious sections of tb* county and draw out many features red facts that would be ofhitrrihsttft our’readers. We were leave after so short a stay, and li%s hopeful of another opportunity to mingle with the goad people of Jeffer son. H. F. Russell Sc Cos., will make a change in their business soon; as will be seen in the advertisement. To effect the clearing out of their large and splen did stock,, before that time they will sell for cost or less. They meat what they say, give them a eall or send your orders.
