There is a purple half to the grape, a mellow half to the peach, a sunny half to the world, and a better half to man. The reply of Hon. George P. 3tovall to Judge Wm. Beese was received too late for this issue.— It will appear next week, Rev. R. L. Jennings, of Crawfordsville, has been called to the pastorship of the Baptist Church at this place for the next year. The editor who dilated upon 1 *the yellow pump kin, lying golden on the hill-side," is supposed to have been inspired by pin-ous thoughts. Dixth.—Just as we go to press, we are pained to announoo the dsath of Mra George Sturgis who died at her home reoently in Lagrange Ga. Warehouse. —Our enterprising merchant, Mr. John X. Benton, has erected a spacious Warehouse near the depot, for the storage of guanos and heavy goods. The frost has nipped the violets that bloom down in the meadow, but compensates by bright ening the roees that bloom on the cheeks of our lovely fair ones.

I have used Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regulator in my family for Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, and regard it as an inva'uable remedy in these attacks. It has not failed to give relief in any iustauoe. Rev. W. F. Easterling, Florida Conference. Our Merchants. —Our merchants and business men generally are all busy as sailors. Thomson merchants go upon the principle that it is better to do a large business on a small margin, than a small business with large profits. It pays better in the long run. A couple of manumitted citizens, employrd-by Jas. R. Wilson, in building a bridge across Little River, near Smith's mills in this county, became enraged at each other a few days since, which resulted in one intelligent vo'er’s being split open with a wea pon commonly known as an axe.

Died on the 28th nit., in this county, Fannie Al lan Hagerman, aged fourteen months and seven_ teen days, only child of James M. and Fannie Ha. german. The hearts of the parents are desolate, but trusing in Him who said “goffer little children to come unto me,” prepare te meet their darling in the realms of eternal bliss whither she has gone before them. Runaway. —A few days ago, Mr. Thomas Roark, of this county, came to town, driving a vicious horse, and when near the old steam-mill lot, the the horse became frightend, ran some distance, and threw Mra.

The Good Templar’s Lodge of our town is in a flourising condition, counting among its members - the larger number or our young people, and many of ripe years. For the good of the Order, it is proposed to introduce private theatricals, and all those who wish to have an opportunity to enjoy these performances would doweU to abjure allegi ance to the dominion of old king Alcohol, and join the oold-water army. Long may its banners wave to the breeze. The Savannah News says : “Thomson, already haring a good paper, now wants a telegraph office,’ 1 We thank our highly esteemed Cotemporary, and the press generally, for inch compliments as the above upon our efforts, to lurnish a good paper to our readers. The News has the reputation] in this place of be ing the very beet daily in the state. .
