Still at tbe Fair ? Excuse our locals this w-ek, for it is too hot to do anything but to nurse a chunk of ice. Some lawyers resemble folks who can sleep in any position; it is imma terial on wtiieh side they lie Our mistress says we can’t go to the Fair again, if we do she will not give us a clem shirt. But wo will keep q ii ot and she will forget it by the next fair_ There was quite n crowd from Bmn swick on the way to thair homes in Mn e>n yesterday. They boat u*, for wo got home ou Saturday. We iefer our funders to Dr. An drews’ s lv •r'iseiip'tst in this issue. W e sra personally acquainted with the doctor and would adviso all sufferers of earners to call on him ns he is wry successful in all cases that go to him iu time. We are glad someone has discovered a mosquito, flea and gnat dispenser, and would as soon Kay ton as any one, for wo know he will seud us a bottle. Brother K iyton. we w.ut the flea dis penser by the gallon, and if you wilt eon e and stay with tis a while you wish y >u had a barrel. Mr. J H. Poppoll’s atore was broka open on Monday night last. Some par ties got a crow-bar at the depot and prised the back door open, took what they wanted and escaped through a front window. No positive clue to any *ono, but several negroes are euspieion ed. The loss is not yet ascertained, he can only miss some c'otbing. a pistol and some wbiskev, which they must have wanted for the cake raffle as they had one close by tlmt night. This is what comes of having so many lotfiag negroes around our town. There was a colored gentleman by the name of Peter in towu on Monday. Ilis wearing apparrel was in rather a dilapidated condition, but Pete thinks they are good eno"gh for this season. He was on bis way to his home in Florida. He says he has been to Wash ington to see President Grant hut he was gone from home, but the Presi dent’s son took him to th. White House and presented him with five cents as be was a little; short, g He states he ■came very near seeing President Hayes, "that he saw the carriage lie rode in.

Patter son. 1 Total number polled, 188, out of ab at 600 voters in the county. They seemed not to take much interest in the convention, though a portion of it ■was owing to the djsagreeablcness of £be day,. Mr. W O. All 1 brought ill a fine wa termelon on Monday aud presented it to Mr. J. W. Strickland. Tnis is the first of the season and we hope he won’t forget the Soutiuel and do us likewise. If you want to keep goats iu town you had better do like J teS’one, brake them to the harness. I toll you, Mr. Gardner, the Marshal, goes for them, and when ha goes he sells them at the Court House, Eight head for throe dollars the bust bid. Hou. James S.

Brantley & Burooy have re ceived one hundred barrels for shipping spiri s of turpentine, and we notice that they have a car load of rosin on their platform ready fir shipment.

On the I3tb iust. the Sheriff arrested three negroes by virtue of a warrant is sued by Judge A. M.

During which time Charles left for parts un known, in company with several ottieis of his specie, which g >cs to prove that ho was guilty and could not face the music.

Their Crops were in need of rain, aud it gave them a chance to plant out draws aud vinos. \ The county Commissioners have ap pointed reviewers to lny out a public road from G irdi to Little Creek church. It is something that has been much needed for a considerable time- <t Mrs. M. Strickland, reliot of the late Abraham Strickland, died nt tho resi dence of her son, Mr. R. R. Strickland, Wednesday night last. Her remains was taken to the Pendarvia burying grounds for interment. The Convention election passed off very quietly. Owing to the enelcmen cy of the weather there was but a small attendence—only sixteen votes be.og cast —all for Convention. The timber men on the Phinhol loway have taken advantage of tbe rise in the creek, caused by tbe recent rain. Thev have run out conside* able timber and ar* off for Darien If they would devote the same energy and labor to their farms that they do to cutting tim. her, this country would be in a far more prosperous condition than it will ever be while tbe main work of the people is timber. 3 "‘H'T- A bridgp *cro s s the Phinhollnway at the George Ford is needed very much, and it is to be hoped that the Honor able Board of County Commissioners will take it into consideration and see if one can be bnilt. Tbe bridge at the old Ferry is becoming dangerous and cau’t be used a great while longer. Canton 1 for your rights Mr. Goiu and get the legal advertising. You know you came out victorious at the Convention. We loaru that Maj. W. H Smythe will be retained by the President as United States Marshal of Georgia. Warrenton Clipper. Wo know a young man iu this county twenty two years old. who has never taken a drink of whiskey, a chew of tobacco, or smok ed a cigar. It you get a chance at him gills, ba equal to tho emergency and scoop him in. A groat mauy young men persist iu deeliui ng matrimony on account of tho expenses of housekoep'ng. They dou’t understand the subject. Ali that is ‘needed to commence house-keeping with is a table, three chairs (ouo for ‘company”) a cheap bedstead, a eradlo, a young woman and a spring omttrass. With these and a stout heart to cheer him onward, no young man of character can enter into matrimony too soon.
