The Western Union Teleernpb Com pany have made quite an impiovemcnt in their office here recen'ly. Dicks proud now. We a-ked a gentleman to give ns some locals, His reply was he had nothing but vegetables. Hide out tleti, the Walnut lenv s are coming into town. We hope some thins "ill come fa to make the mosqui toes hide’ out too. As the press already know where we are to meet next year, it is hardly worth •while to let the public know that we meet in Gainesville. Just as we bad settled ourself to write up S' me locals theotln r morning the old woman stepped in and p<>li'ely in formed us that we hud to local ou a clean shirt first. , We had the pleasure of shaking the hand of our friend Col.

McLean, 314 Cbe-tuiri street, St Louis, Mo, Ain’t our landlady a case,” remarked a voting man the other day, after he had whittled about an hour on a pict ure frame which she had requested him to make for ler. “She has always got something for a fetlow to do dur ing bis leisure moments to earn his grub.” Messrs. Whaler & S“n have just re ceived a fine lot of buggy harness, bri dles, whips and a splendid lot of sad dles. Tbcyare offering them at live and b‘l live prices.

They propose org iniz ng a Baptist Church in this plane on that day. Rev. Mr. Atkins'n, and a few other divines will be present An interesting meet ing is an'ieipated on this occasion. It is earnes, ly Imped that all that can possibly attend w ill do so. We acknowledge the receipt of a coni' niunication from one of the fair six of Jesup. We wold say to her, however, that she should Have sent in, or rather put it on our ease so< ner. Wo do not say she left it there, hut that’s where we found it. She writes tinder the cap tion of “Ladies Slang Phrases ” It will appear next week. W T e see that Messrs. Whaley & Son has unleaded another ear of corn, they do not intend for the people to suffer for bread 1 Look at their price currant in another column, and satisfy yourself that you cannot do hotter elsewhere. Since writing the above we find v* was mistaken in reference to the car of corn, it was Mr. Poppell’s. C me Mr. P, give us an adveitisernent so we can let the corn buyers know how your prices :are. PcßEvrji, Ga., May 2 Q , 1877. Me. Editoh:—ln your issue of the 9th appeared a communication signed ‘•PiDcy Woods” calling for independ ent candidate*. In your issue of the J9*h inst appeared another communi cation over the signature of “Wire Grass,” opposing independents. From the caption of the piece signed “Wire Grass” it appeared to have been written at or near this place. And as a natu ral con sequence, (under existing cir cumstances) it may be thought that I wrote it. Therefore, I thought proper to say publicly that I did not, and hope the readers of your paper will uot think me so relfisb as to be opposed to other cand and .te- than the nominees. 1 no oljoctioos to as many cndidtes as “Piuey Woods” wants I agree with him as to the indifference usually man ife&ted in election* when there is no op portion. I sincerely b( pe the voters of not ■rnly this district but the entire State will turn out on the second Teusday in June and vote tor a convention and for whoever they ’ t to represent them. I think, Mr. Editor, I can occupy my time better than writing pieces with which to trouble you, but I think it proper and id justice to myself to ask you to give this a place in your col umn* Respectfully, C. 0, Grace. THOMASVILLE HORTICULTURAL FAIR AM) I’KESS CONVENTION. Otti* First Vist to Thomasvllle. This is the first time we have had the pleasure of meeting with the press, therefore you must not expect so much as you would from a more experienced j urnalist. Our visit excelled our ex pectations, for wo supposed we would Pe among strangers, not so. Upon our arrival we met our genial coufres, Triplett and Hansel), who are uuwear fying in their numerous and delicate attentions; wo were invited up into their sanctum where we found the ta ble havy-loadcd with those long necked bott.h s filled with the viutage of Thomas county, equal to tbe choice luliuan ot old cigars in abundance, equal to die old Havanna, and a goodly number of our t>r< ther journalist, who was ahead < f us. But as we found outsell among friends and not strangers, we made up for lost time. After admit stay at refresh ments uud hstuing to a few jovial re marks we repaired en mass to the city hall where the opening exercises ot the Association commcnoi and. The adJress fw, lome by Col. Hammond, a lead ing member of the present Legislature, was a ni i-terpiece of oratory, wit aud erudition. In the absenoe of the regu larly appointed respoudeut, Col. Styles, that dntv was imposed upon Dr J. D. Hoyle, of the D -wsou Journal. He bad but a short time for preparation, but the Association bad a cause to be pround of its repaesentntive. Tuen the cull for Ham was leund and unani mous, who jesponded in a witty reply Brother Ham is capable of doing that. He being the last speaker and owing to the lateness of tha hour, we adjourned until 4 p. ni., when we repaired back to the hospitable sanctum where weqanch ed uur thirst with that, good old Timm as county -. From thence to the Mitchell House, where wo met with equal courtesy. The gentlemanly pro prietors, M ssrs. Fabou & Cos., who showed us the spacious dining room, which was well supplied with all that could be desired —and all tor our spe cial benefit. The Press Ball was a magnificent ova'ion on the natt of our Thomasville hosts and a larae share of the beauty ~f the city assembled in that spacious dining room of the Mitchell House to do honor to their visitors. Wo must say Timm isville is an exception, fT a more noble and hospitable people are hard to find. Oh ! that we could be witn them nftener. After the adjournment of the Press Association the next morning we re paired to the Fair ground, where we found all a success, even more than wn expected. The Floral department was beautiful. Mrs. Hawkins, we think, had the finest and largest, variety, but all are hard to beat in Georgia. Vege tables surpassed our expectations. Green corn and ripe poach, s we Imrdly think can be found anywhere elan in Georgia, and twelve pound turnips we have no idea can. Mr. Hicks had some .of those turnips on exhibition. Mr. Wardavvay exhibited a small cabbage, Xiily five leet across. In fact, t e euiiie exhibition was such that Thomasville tan well be proud of it. As we said s t first, you must not exp' tso much from us. We will close until our uexi /ssue, when we hope tc be able to give you Col Hammond’s addr as. SHERIFF SALE GE >RGlA—Wayne County.
