Another Convention. The members of our County Executive Committee having determined to resign the duties imposed upon them by the re cent mass-meeting of the people, the Chairman has requested us to publish the following call: Thomson, Ga., Oct. 3, 1876. To the Democrat* of McDuffie County: The members of the County Executive Committee, chosen by the last mass meeting, for reasons which to them are satisfaciory, having determined to resign their offices, I do hereby call a mass meeting of the Democrat-, of McDuffie county t« assemble in Thomson on the first . nesday in November next, for the purpose of selecting another Democratic Executive Committee for the county, and to transact such other business for the good of the party as to them may seem necessary. W. D. Terr, '• Chairman Executive Committee. V isitors. For some days past Thomsen has been enlivened with the presence of a number of visitors from Augusta. In additiou to those mentioned in our Inst issue, the Green wav Hotel has entertained as guests Mrs. I’. F. Campbell, Drs. Baker, Stil ling and Joseph E. Eve, and Capt. G. Henry Aiieu, the Inst named gentleman being a son of Maj. J. V. H. Alien, all »f Augusta. To the gentlemen of this company, in eluding oiir old Tennessee fried, Mr. F A. Timberlak -, the Journal office is indebted for a number of pleasant social calb. To W. Fred. Eve, Esq., and his amiable and accomplished wife, we are under many obligations for a very pleas ant ami agreeable visit. We are glad to learn that our visitors are quite well pleased with Thomson and its citizens, and trust that their stay among us may be indefinitely protracted. Personals. Snowden,— Capt. Snowden, of the firm of E. W. Marshall & Cos., Charleston, him been stopping in Thomson several days, on business connected with his House. The Journal office is under obligations to him for a pleasant visit. Gross. — Our young friend, Mr. B. M, Gross, left home Tuesday last, to renew his studies in the State University at Athens. Moroan.—-Mr. J. W. Morgan, has returned from his visit to the North and the Centennial, blit Ills not yet honored our sanctum with a call. Mr. ii. S. Hudson. We regret to learn that our young friend has seen proper to sever his busi ness connections with his adopted home, and cast his lot elsewhere. We have grown so accustomed to his genial, pleasant companionship that his absence will lie sorely felt. No young man of our acquaintance has made more friends, or acquired a more "deserved popularity among our citizens during his residence here than Ham Hudson. Honest, indus trious and scrupnlously faithful to every trust, he has commenced a social and business career which, if it does not lead to wealth, will certainly secure him the confidence and respect of all with whom he may be associated. Removed. Mr. Henry McKinney, for several y[-ars the landlord of the Railroad Hotel in this place, has removed, with his family to Forsyth, which city for the future he proposes to make his home. Himself and his pleasant aud agreeable family have made many friends during their stay in Thomson, who regret the superior advantages of their new home, which in duced them to go. The evening of their departure the Thomson Cornet Band gave them a farewell serenade, ad quite a number of friends called to bid them adieu. Wherever they may make their home, Air. McKinney and family have our best wishes for their happiness and prosperity. King Ko, sovereign over a portion of the island of Borneo, is shortly expected in Paris with a numerous suite. Last Friday the floors of third story of a brick bnildingf in Springfield, Mass., upon which about 80,000 pounds of to bacco had been stored, fell, buriying six persons in the ruins, four of whom were rescued badly bruised. The other two supposed to be dead. Weather and Crops. From the scorching heat of snmmer and early autumn combined, the weather in one week has abruptly changed iuto geaniue fall. For several days it las been cool enough for fires during the en tire day, and the nights and mornings actually cold, with heavy frosts. Sum mer suits have suddenly disappeared, aud overcoats are in demand. It is still remarkably dry. No rain of consequence in any portion of the coun ty for many days. The wells and water courses are very low, and the streets aud roads too dusty to travel with any degree of comfort. THE CROPS. We have made dilligent inquiries of paities from different sections of this and adjoining counties, and we are sur prised as well as gratified to learn that the cotton crop, which a short, time ago was thought to be serionsly damaged, is turning out remarkably well, and will certainly go far above an average. Cotton is, this year, with most of our plan*ers, a surplus crop. They have raised an ample sufficiency of bread stuffs and forage for both man and beast, have bought comparatively nothing on credit, and, although the price of cotton is, inmost cases below the cost .of its production, it will not bring the planter in debt, nor i- he compelled to sell it un der lien, hut whatever it may bring is surplus money, to be used or not as he sees fit. This is, we believe, the first year since the var when such has been the case. Upon the whole, our country is in a better condition, financially, than it has been since the money panic of 1873. Death of Mr. Samuel It Furtson. I.ast week our entire community was pained to hear of the death of this wor thy young gentleman. He was the son of Mr. B. B. Fortson, of Wilkes county, was born July 1, 1850, and died at the residence of b s brother-in-law, Mr. R. 8. Neal, in Colum in county, at 8 o’clock a. m., Monday September 25, 1876. He was buried at Pope’s Chapel, Wilkes county. He died of dropsy of the heart, from which disease he has suffered for several years. He was a young man of high moral charaster, loved and respect ed by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and child aud a very large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his loss, to whom we offer our respectful and sincere sympathies. Cyperus Gsciilentus. Rev. W. T. Hamilton presented us last week a sample of a small crop of chufas, or ground almonds, grown in his garden in this place. They were planted last spring, between rows of watermelons aud corn, and received nothing extra in the way of cultivation. The yield, how- ever, is very large. We do not kn-iw why this vegetable is not more generally cultivated in Georgia, I is excellent for many purposes, and never fails to repay the labor bestowed upon it with liberal and profitable crops. Don’t chufa-il to plant them next year. The Wairenton Clipper. Bro. Ham deserves much credit for the many improvements of a general character lie has effiefedon his paper, but his Trade Issue of last week is espe cially meritorious. It displays taste, industry, ta’eut and labor, and should receive the hearty commendation of his patrons. His able and thorough report of the busiuess transactions of Warrenton reflect much credit vpon h:s own energy a* well as the enterprise of the citizens. The Clipper and its indomitable editor have our heartiest wishes for continued prosperity and success. The Prseeut Cotton Crop, The estimated cotton crop for 1875-’6, as figured up by the National Cotton Ex change, is announced as amounting to 4,632.3 3 bales. The information upon which this estimate is based is considered entirely reliable, and, therefore, may be received as the true statement of the present cotton crop. The pool which was made up in Char leston for the nearest estimate of the cot ton crop, has been awarded to L. D. Mowry of that city, whose figures were 4,633,893. He missed it only 1,080 hales. This is the closest guessing we remember of ever having seen. Colored Campmeetinx. Our colored friends of the Methodist pursuasion held a campmeeting at Trini ty Church, near Berzelia, in Columbia county, commencing Thursday evening, September 21st, and closing Sunday eve ning ’ollowing. Revs. F. Ford, Presid ing E.der of the Augusta District, and R. J. Jones, preacher in charge, con ducted the meeting, assisted by Revs. U. J. Brown, Presiding Elder of the Brunswick District, A. J. Stinson, Au gusta Station, W. Williams, of the War ren Circuit, and Henry Lofton, of the Thomson Circuit. The fruits of their services were six converts, thirty-one ac cessions to the church, and about 814 collected for church purposes. The best of order and good behavior prevailed, and much interest manifested in the ser vices. Lincoln Comity Democracy. The crowded condition of our columns have prevented us publishing the names of the gentlemen chosen at the last mass meeting ot the Democracy to serve for the ensirug two years as the Demo cratic Executive Committee for Lincoln county. We, therefore, take this first opportu nity to publish the following, for which we are indebted to the kiudness of our friend, Col. J. E. Strother : Col. C. E. Ramsey, Chairman. Capt. I. N. Mercier, Secretary, J. C. Glendenning, J. E. Strother, Henry Murray, C. R. Strother, Z. Dallas, .Tno. Chenanlt. New Advertisements. August a.

Any man who wishes to dress with the fashion, or those less pretentious, who only desire their clothing to be plain, but neatly fitted, should give Dorr a trial. Ho never allows a customer to go away dissatisfied, and he warrants all his work. Many of our readers have patronized him and can attest the excellence of material he uses and the work he does.

They know- the importance of print er’s ink, and always secure its assistance, and their respect for you and your families, and their desire to secure or retain your in fluence and patronage induces them to keep you posted through our columns as to their places of business and the liberal offers they make to the trade.

William Edgar Jones j Died, in Brunswick, Ga., on Monday j evening, September 18, 1870, of yellow j fever, William Edgar Jones, aged 21 ; years, 5 months and 18 days, youngest son of Dr. James S. and Mrs. Susan Jones, of Thomson, Georgia. Death, at any time, is a sad remiudei j of God’s omnipotence and man’s iucvit- I able destiny; but, when the Palo Mes senger appears suddenly and unexpect edly, blanching the cheek and chilling the heart of youthful, vigorous manhood, the terrors of his coming are sadly dark ened with the melancholy wrecks of j cherished ambitions, and of hope, and life, and love. When Edgar Jones left the parental hearth-stone and commenced the battle of life, none had higher hopes or bright er prospects of honorable success than he. Os quick and vigorous mind, his position in school and at the State Uni versity was always at or near the head af his classes. Choo .iug the Law as a profession, his progress in its acquire ment was marked with tee same ease and rapidity with which he mastered every thing he undertook ; and his brief career at the Bar was crow no and with like suc cess. Young, talented, warm-hearted and generous, he went out into the world with the precepts mid example of a Christian father to guide him, and the prayers of a pious mot her to shield him from temptation. The love, and pride, and hope of his family, and the kindest wishes of many devoted friends, follow ed him to the new field of his labors and trinmpths ; and, when intelligence of his death was received, their grief and tears followed the loved and lost in sorrow ti his stranger burial. At the time of death he was a member of of the E. Cli rch, South, at. Thomson, and his life and consistent Christian conduct confirmed the sinceri ty of his professions. This is, indeed, a holy consolation to his grief-stricken pa rents and friends. And, while it is diffi cult to reconcile our hearts to such fear ful dispensations of divine Providence, we are gladdened with the refleotoin that behind this dark cloud of affletion the rainbow of hope and faith and promise spans tho dark and silent River, to the beautiful shore beyond, where reunions are eternal, and the chastening rod of affletion is never known. can vbwjfug } Railroad Schedule—Georgia Railroad, j DAY PASSENGER TRAINS.
