We put the paper of every subscriber weekly in the p> stuffioe at Thomaston, and that is all we can do There is a complaint that if the papers left the office at Thomaston, they would get them. We do not km w where the fault is, hut we are certain that somebody is delin quent. We hope the matter will he attended to by those in charge of the mails. Go to W. S.

Me have befi re us the annual reoort of t’e Supet intendent of Public Works for the current year. It contains important information upon the State aid railroads of Georgia as well as a full statement of the transactions of the department. Full reports from nearly all the railroads in tbe State were rendered as required by a joint resolution of the last Legislature. It also contains information in reference to the Atlantic and Great Western Canal, contemplating water communication between the great Missis sippi valley and the Atlantic ocean, and other matters of commercial interest wh’cb require a more extended notice than v e can give in tkis issue. Strange Accident. —On Sunday morn ing last, ’Sidney Nelson, a tenant of Wm. Trayler, jr., was found in his house very severely burned. Sidney said he knew nothing of the means by which he caught on hre. The first account he was able to give was, that he was standing up before the fireplace with nearly all his clothes burned off. On one side of the house was found a fragment ot hia shirt s»nd on the other at Pnme distance was found a p rtmn of his truw.-ers with marks of fire on them, leaving the presumption that be did some running while the fire was consuming clothes. We learn th it Sidney has had the misfortune to have-We. al-o learn that be had'been drinking on Satur day afternoon. As he was unable to give any information as to how he .caught on fire and as there was no one in the home hut himself, we are at a logs to know whether he had a spa-m or wheifmr he “let a thief in at his mouth that stole away his brain.” A physician was called in hut the burn was so severe that he died on Monday evening.

Sewing Machines*— Another opportunity to purchase the Florence Sewing Machine is now presented to those of this county Talbot, Tayior and Crawford. Mr. B. N. Barrow has been assigned by Messrs. Guilford & Hill to the above mentioned counties and also a portion of Merriwether. He will make his headquarters at Thomas ton and canvas the territory personally and by agents. A sewing machine is some thing that every family should posses. The economy in time and labor will soon balance the amount paid out for a machine. Several of the Flmence machines have been sold in Thomaston and vicinity. If one doubts their merit let him apply to someone who has been i*siog the machine and if the report is not favorable leave off the purchase. n<>v2s-2t Remarkable. — We were called on Mon day while tbe clouds were moistening things below, by one colored John Mann, a tenant of Major C >bb, to go and see a swine of his raising. He said “testfullv speaking it was to his carmagary, it is doub'fully the most curosity in the county. My ’ployer constructed me to come to see you ’tore I dedicated it to pork. I think it will be sharp ernouff in de mornin’ to—what do yml tink boss ab rnt savin’ meat when the weather is n<*t too sharp ?” But tell us what the peculiarity about your hog is ? “De Marity 'bout my hog ; why sir, ’slutely de tail is two inches under de meat, but vou git in do buggy and go ’zamine.” But sir. it is raining too hard for us to go this evening. “Taint rainin’ much boss. Y'ou see if it sharpens up by mornin’ I’m gwine to lay her out.” But how did you come by such a hog? “Well, boss. I lucilites you* In de spring one of my friends, when de win g —he got inter tr. üble and come—he said he didn’t have no bread, and axel me to ’vide S. me and him ’gr* e I Ot di-< kind of er trade. He said he would let me have dis hog, and I dedicated to him seven bushels of corn. So de bog grow up into dis curosity. Come, now, boss, and see de hog. Seeing that there was no'chance to post pone the visit ’till a fairer day, we got in the buggy and r<'de out to see tl e hog. When we arrived we saw really the “eur osity.” It surpasses anything in the way of fat swine we have ever seen. The hams were so expanded, behind by fat, that the rout of the tail was overlapped by flesh until fully two inches of tfie tail had actu ally been concealed from sight. It was one year old last May. We hope tie weather sharpened up sufficiently to save John’s pork. $20,000 WORTH OF DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, AND OTHER MERCHANDISE, SOI.D AT BANKRUPT PRICES, Haring pnrehased the entlP* stock of DH7 GOODS, CLOTHING, NOTIONS, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, &c., From the Assignee of LOEW’KNSTEIN A FFKIFF.R, Hankrnpta, we now propose to sell lhee;une at RANK HURT RHICFS.

Also, to gin damp or wet cotton ; to alter tho picking or separating the lint from the so and -either to take more lint off or less lint from the sec 1, as circum stances r. quire.
