A very heavy rain fell in this place
Tuesday morning.
The recent frosts did not kill all the
peaches in this section.
Saturday last was a busy day with
our merchants, and trade has been
good all this week.
It is no trouble for customers to ■
get good bargains at J. X. Coggins’
store. Call and be convinced.
We have one quart of upland rice,
which we will give to any farmer
who will cultivate it.
We heard an old farmer sav the

been reported.
The Savannah News, Atlanta Con- I
stitution and Augusta News are equal j

> For reliable dealing, best of goods, l
and lowest prices in dry goods and I
groceries, be sure and call on
J. N. Cogotns.
Vegetation is growing fast. The
woods which were so bare a few
weeks ago, are smiling in all the i
beauty of bright spring foliage.
To get the latest imvvlti.is in dry
goods and notions, shoes and hats, '
call on J. N. Coggins. He is receiv
ing goods weekly, and keeps everv
tbing new.
Mr. B. D. Stone, of that sterling. ,
wide awake and prosperous journal,
the Athens Chronicle, spent ycster-j
day in our town, and we were glad to ;
meet him.
.1. N. Coggins' store for the last ten I
days has been crowded with Indies. I
and it is because he has the largest
and best variety of dress goods, trim
mings, ribbons, etc.
John Kcely's three-cnlumn adver
tisement will appear next week.—
Keely is a live merchant ami no I 1
mistake. He always keeps a line !
stock and sells cheap.
The Air Line birectory, published I
at Greenville, S. ('.. by our old friend
#F. W. Redwine, is on our table. It is
worthy of a liberal patronage, and we
wish it unbounded success.
Our friend O. E. Mitchell, of Gaines
ville. has been appointed mail agent
of the Northeastern Railroad. Ob is
a clever gentleman, and will attend
strictly to his business.
.1. 11. McHale still selling cheap as
ever. Go, all ye lovers of good things
and see Me. lie has just received a
fresh lot of raisins, dates, canned
fruits, etc., which he is selling real
< heap.
Did you ever hear of the like be- i
fore—a newspaper man refusing to 1
take "something.” While in Gaines-,
ville. last Saturday, we witnessed this
unrecorded fact. But it wasn’t ’Uncle :
Pete’—his head is too level for that. ;
In reply to our inquiry about Dr. I
McCool, the Toccoa News says he >
has been in that burgh and feasting I
on’Cousin •John' Thrasher’s ’yaller
leg’ chickens, and says that we will |
hardly know him, as he looks ten
years younger.
We broke our press last Thursday,
before we printed all of the papers. ’
and about thirty subscribers and most
of our exchanges were not supplied. .
And on account of this mishap, we i
give the grand jury presentments an- •
other insertion.
Maddox & Blackstock will pay the ,
highest cash price for beef cattle, and
they want a large number. Ship your ;
cattle to Gainesville, and give them a 1
call. They can also supply families J
along the Air Line Railway with fresh j
beef every day.
Mr. J. P. Echols’ reply to the peti- J
tion published two weeks ago. came 1
in too late for this issue. Mr. Echols I
says his decision was in accordance i
with the evidence, and he turned the !
prisoner loose on legal grounds— ;
could not do otherwise.
Our subscription list is gradually
increasing, and for the obvious reason i
that we give more entertaining read- j
iiig matter for the price than any ■
paper in the State. All are able to
pay one dollar per annum, and are
cheerfully forwarding their names '
and money.
We have a young man, who, up to
the lime the North Georgian com
menced publication in Bellton, never
wrote a line for the press; but a few
articles, by persualion, was sufficient
to prove that be possessed 'nun. and a
heap of it. Still, we fear he will re
main in obscurity, as he is so ever
lasting quiet—so fearful of attending
I to other people’s business—that no
promise or offer would induce him to
engage in a political or newspaper
life. Hi* articles are exactly to the
point, and penetrate as if discharged
from a Remington rifle.

Dear Sister Dame,. :—Please allow
me to dedicate these few lines to the
memory of Mrs. Sarah M>xon, as a slight
token of adaption and friendship from
your friend,

In a graveyard, lone and dreary,
Where tall grass and cedars wave,
Lie th one whose heart was weary—
i Sleeping in the silent grave.
Still now is the heart onee beating
With affections kind and true;
Hushed the voice so oft repeating.
* c*
; Words of love and duty too.
From this vale of bitter sorrow
She has passed forever more,
To a happy, endless morrow.
On Eternity's bright shore
Lo! this morn we grow and flourish
Like the gruss so bright ami gay ;
Ju the eve, cut down, we perish,
Soon and wtliereth away.
So throngh life a lonely pilgrim.
To the Savior s fount of love,
Joyful she. at last, beholds Him
I Ou His glorious throne above.
lu that home, where there’s no weeping. !
j Calm is her once troubled heart;
i Ou His bosom she is sleeping,
And the weary is at rest.

as follows: Tire dungeon, floor and

: needs repairing, and there ought to
bC a ditch made on the upper side
