Sparks has been chosen princi, pal of the M’t. Vernon Institute, Riddieville. t good selection, and one that will give satis- faction to all concerned. 0 As wego to press the preparations are ac tively going cn for the entertainment at the Christian Church to-night—Thursday. Those who stay away will miss a treat. o Hon. W. L. Goldsmith, Comptroller Gener. nl, of Georgia and Hon. J. W. Renfroe, of the same office, will please accept our thanks for copies of the Comptroller’s annual report for 1673. O Tuesday and Saturday last were two of the coldest days of the winter thus far. And to- Jay (Tuesday) we are having real Spring weather. Some of our old planters predict an early Spring. Elder Will C. Moreau has so far regained his wonted health as to be able to resume his ministerial labors. He preached a sermon of meat power and earnestness, in the Ckristain church of this city, on Sabbath last. Hev. W. S. Baker was installed as Master of Irwinton Lodge, F. A. M., on Seturday last The lamented Hr. T. A. Simmons was Mas ter of the Lodge continuously from tne time it v>as instituted np to his death. That festive thief is still arouud. He (or she) broke into a dwelling, the other night, while the family were abcent, and extracted a quantity of eggs from a closet. Guess the party wanted to finish up their Christmas The nearer our Academy building approach es completion the finer it looks. When fin ished it will indeed be a monument to the liberality and enterprise of Washington coun ty. It will soon he ready to he occupied by the school. The Wax to do it.—One of our thrifty young farmers Alls us that he is making all his ma nure at home this year, and expects to plant his best lands in.corn. He is for a small farm, big cultivation and thorough manur ing. S. It. S., Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The copies of the Prairie Fanner, and The Thunderbolt have been received and read with much in terest. I am delighted wfith the Farmer. The Thunderbolt is a “red hot” document. Ac cept thanks for the favor. If reports be true, Sandersville is about to furnish a lovely bride for a gentleman of a neighboring city. That’s just the way our young men do. Delay the important ‘-ques tion'’ until another comes along and carries ofi'tiu prize. o i.) m’t be angry with us, children, for devo- gnearly all the space on the first and fourth pages to the Governor’s Message. Your fath ers and mothers want to read it, to see what the condition of our good old State of Geor gia is. Will give you some good stories next week. The pleasant days of this week caused considerable stir among gardens. Many a hard looking case of garden has been upturn ed and made ready for the planting of seed. Everybody ought to have a good garden, if they can. A good garden is almost half a living. The Sandersville High School opened on Monday last with exceedingly flattering pros pects. Sixty pupils were in attendance the first day, and the number is increasing daily. The probabilities are that the school will number one hundred and fifty or two hun dred pupils when the spring opens .and the weather becomes permanently pleasant. O Resigned.—Air. John H. Martin, has re signed the position, which he so well filled, of Deputy Sheriff of this county. All will regret that Air. Martin could not retain the position and discharge the duties of the same without serious injury to his own personal business. Our good wishes go with him into retirement. Col. W. H. Wylie, we are glad to state has located in our cite - , for the purpose of prac ticing law. We most heartily welcome him to a home in our community, and trust his fondest anticipations will he more than real ized. The Colonel is a lawyer cf experience and success, and will he quite an accession to onr local bar. O We were pleased to see in our office on Monday last, Rev. Air. Domingoes Preacher in charge of the Washington and Davisboro Circuit. Owing to the ill health of Rev. Air. Boring, he was unable to enter upon the work with Air. Domingoes. The appoint ments of the latter will he found in another column. 0 Dr. J. W. Cooley. Dentist, will be in Dub lin on Ah uday or Tuesday next and remain one week, for the purpose of serving those W’lio may desire work done fn his line. Dr. Cooley is one of the best Dentists in middle Georgia, and will be sure to please those who favor him with a call. He has been in our community for several years past, and we take pleasure in "commending him to the goad people of Laurens counly. E ^F, a ;\ ts from the Report, of Dr. H N.

The following represents the value of City and Town property, amount of money and solvent debts, and value of merchandise for the years 1872 and 1873, and showing the increase since the return of 1872. The value of city and town property for 1872, $105,705; same for 1873, 124,996; increase, 19,291; am’t of money and solvent debts in 1872, $390, 003; in 1873, $453,733; increase $63,732; value of merchandise in 1872, $89,238; in 1873, $103,540.

From the above it will be observed that our county is improving in value, even in these “panicky” times. We will give the statistics of other counties where the Herald circulates, as opportunity offers. Camp Spring Council, No. , United Friends of Temperance, was organized, by D. G. AY. P., E. A. Sullivan, on the 15th inst., at Camp Spring, in this county, with the fol lowing officers: A. AIcAIayo, AA r . P. Aliss Belle Davis, A 1 /. A. James Davis, R. S. AA r . A. Jordan, F. S. AY. p. Davis, Treasurer. J. B. Davis, Chaplain. Thos. Davis, Conductor. John Rodgers, I. S. H. Q. Ward, D. G. AY. P. They organized with twenty charter mem bers, and wil doubtless do good service. O - Narrow Escape.—A little girl of this city was attacked by a ferocious dog, on Monday ast, and came near being seriously, if not fatally injured. The heroic little creature fought the dog for some moments with a stick until terror overcame her, when she screamed and started to run. Her cries at tracted the attention of another dog, which springing "upon the one making the attack upon the little girl, doubtless, saved her li e. Fortunately the little girl was not injured at all. O $100 Reward.—Read the notice of Mr. S. ' AV. Hart, offering one hundred dollars reward. The mule was one of the most valuable in the county, and is a great loss to the owner. We trust every friend of honesty will keep a sharp lookout for the mule and the party who absconded with it. Savannah News and Florida Union will please copy advertisement.
