It secins, however, to have lost its malignity, and now yields readily to treatment. Heard one of our citizens wishing for a change in the weather last week.

Coles, agent for the popu lar Emerson, Fisher A Cos., buggies, was in our town last week. Although other agents were here, and considerable eom lietitiou offered, lie was more successful titan eitl.er. We learn he sold ten bug gies, and all seemed satisfied witti their pnrehasies. lie received much praise for his honorable dealing. Bishop True is dead! In another col umn will be found a notice ot' the death of tills good and true man. He wag for a long time connected with the press of Georgia, and in every station of life to which lie was called, illustrated the fin est traits of the Christian gentleman. We sympathise with his relatives, drop a tear to his memory and from our heart ol hearts hope that he rests in peace. Mr. Mare Woods requests us to state that he is not a candidate for any office, and the use of his name by some persons, in connection with the Sheriffs office, is entirely gratuitous and uncalled for, End doubtless used for personal motives. When lie consents to run as a candidate for any office, he will not be ashamed to announce it publicly. Until thra he de sires those who are using his name in that direction, to stop it at once, or There are only about two hundred men in this county that wish to All the several county offices.

Last week our people were highly entertained by this popular Tripo logtte Troupe. Although they labored under adverse circumstances, the streets iieing a perfect quagmire during their stay, a good audience greeted them for three nights. And while the customa ry courtesies were not extended this pa lter, we went and paid, and heartily en dorse the many commendatory notices which have been so graciously bestowed upon them by the Georgia Press. The programmes for each night were com plete and different. Mrs. Fanr \ JVal laek elicited universal praise in .suc cessful renditions. As an actress, site is par excellence, playing iter roll with an easy grace, that places her be fore tlie theatrical world as a performer of rare culture; as a vocalist, she is su perb, possessing a voice that can thrill the most insensible, soothe the most mel aneholy—in short, there is no passion o' the soul but what will crouch belore its magic influence, She was universally admired for iter modest demeanor, beau tiful physiognomy and graceful bearing. Mr. Watty Waliack is a tine commedian, equalling Sol Smith Russell in contort ing his features. And last but not least is Mr. Jas. A. Rider, who rendered the Hungry Army amidst deafening ap plause. We hopo the Wallacks will again visit our city, assuring them that an appreciative people will always bo ready to greet them. We learn that they hail from the same part of England as does our esteemed townsman, Mr. P. Y. Carbine, and as country people, doubt less he was gratified to meet them. A Male Academy. To Madison’s slmme be it said, that, wc have no building in the town tor the in struction ot boys. Our present worthy teachers, the Messrs. Butlers, arc com pelled to use the basement of ttie Baptist church for that purpose. We hope some of our enterprising citizens will inaugu rate a movement by which we can boast ot a male academy in keeping with Mad ison’s enterprise. Such a building is needed, and needed badly. W have com petent teachers, but need a building spe cially adapted to the purpose. Who will set the ball in motion? Humbugs. Ttie world is a humbug, continents are humbugs, empires are humbugs, king doms are humbugs, republics are hum bugs, societies are humbugs, individuals are humbugs. These I told aphorisms were demonstrated as axioms last Wed nesday when we saw a vendor of pinch back jewelry selling his waies at eight dollars a chance. Some few were success ful in coming out without loss; the ma jority were swindled. But such is life, “you pays your money and takes your choice.” Sensible men will sometimes patronize such swindling shops—weak er men follow—and loose their money. S. S. Floyd is prepared to make caslt advances on cotton stored in his ware house.—nov9-lm. Tlie “Brick Store” Fair. Editors Madison Home Journal: Tlie question is often asked, “How about tiie Brick Store Fair?” As elec tion is now over, I thought you would give me space to answer in tlie columns of your excellent paper. It was decidedly a success; tlie being a fair show in cattle, sheep and horses, for ty coops of (owls, several nice lings, one of which attracted a good deal of atten tion, its weight being 7*2 lbs. We re commended “anti-tat," but it did no geod. Dr. Price, (torn Oconee, was there with some fine trotting stock. Tire la dies'driving and riding was very good; Miss Jessie Hanson, of Morgan, and Miss Maggie Gibbs, of Social Circle, took tlie premiums for riding. The display of agricultural products was flue, Jesse Walker, of Newton, took the premium for the best display. The ladies'department was very line; not be ing a good judge of tills display, I will not specify. Tlie paintings in oil, cray on and water colors were tine; Reveral paintings in lilly white pleased my eye the best. The speech of Gen. Robert Toombs was the great feature; lie told us tlie old story—more hog and hominy and less cotton—we bad better raise our provi sions than to have them given to ns in Chicago or St. Loins—better for us if the negro wbs in Africa. He condemned tlie use ot fertilizers—said railroads charged too much for transportation, that the State of Georgia paid railroads more than her cotton crop brings. In fact, he pre sented a gloomy piciuae of the agricul tuie of Georgia. I think lie is a false prophet in this respect. He said nothing of tlie poverty of our soil and tlie need of its improvement. He abused no one, and tlie people were much pleased witli his speech, Mrs. Dr. Knight, of Madison, carried off the premium for silk bed quilt. Mrs, Hanson, of Morgan, received a large number of premiums. Tlie managers of the fair, Mess. Graves and McConoily, did all timy could to make it pleasant for exhibitors. If they will only advertise in tlie Madison Home Journal they can look for another suc cess in 1879. G. Waynesboro, Ga„ Feb. 21, 1870.—Mr. Hollcyman : Dear Sir—l used the bottle of Ulmer’s Liver Corrector which I got lroin you some weeks ago, and am pre pared to recommend it as a valuable med icine.

Fine Fruit. Messrs Underhill, Newson & Cos., pro prietors Commercial Nurseries, Nash ville, Tenn., make a delivery ot fruit trees at Madison, Nov. 28th. It will be rc memltered by a large number of our peo ple that the Commercial nurseries made a delivery here last November, and that their fruit trees were superior to any ev er brought to onr county. These gentle men have an extensile nursery, conduct a large business and make a specialty of propagating the finest selections of fruit. With their thrift and enterprise in the distribution of select fruits to their nu merous patrons, these gentlemen confer a substantial lieiielU and justly stand in the front rank of American nurserymen. We are pleased to see our people giving more attention to the cultivation of good fruit and bestow their patronage upon an enterprising firm that justly merits it. Wcare informed by Messrs.
