Carey Marin), ns en route to the up country on busi ness of the firm. If reports be true, should not wonder if ho forms another copartnership before ho gets bock. We guess, however, that he wont dis solve the existing one with friend McConu. —"Is your daughter married, and how old is she, ” are the questions put by a house-keeper to the mother of a’' girl, apparently twenty years old, 6f- fered for hire.

These latter always suojued, the for- mer—aever The above sale was made to the staunch firm of Hilton & Fos ter,- of Dariea. —We have noticed around town s few of those Chinamen "impHsdned a /short time since. Their time being ont, they have been released. ; The ootbre'd excursion from Macon on -Friday last was- rather weak. Three colored womon and one white man are all vc can hear of that reach ed tins pktci . —See Drug-store notice of Dr. L. B. Davis & Ce. Customers will read, ily perceive that those gentlemen are religiously inclined, and wish to at- tend church on'the Sabbath. —Miss Dent, a maiden sister of Capt. Geo.

Hope lie will be around again a week from Friday (Sept. 3rd) with other patrons, when the boys will declaim again. Chil dren appreciate such things much more ( mu parents give them credit for. Our 'school-room is always ready for visitors. —A precocious youth of our coni- munity, four years old, after having been ' drilled] by his faithful mother a wliolq week on a Bible verse to Ye re cited to his teacher on the following Sabbith, by way of impressing it more fnlly on his mind, was asked .ust before starting to school, "Do you know your verse?” "O yes,” he instantly exclaimed, "Two kittle bird* sitting on » hill, One named Jack and pne named Qill. The natural mind seems averse to Scripture. State Agrcultural Society. Iu our lust issue we noted the fact that the Georgia Agricultural Society would meet in this city in February. Au invitation was extended to them during the mayoralty of Dr. J. J. Harris, but for some reason they could not accept. A large number of them have ever since that time cherished a hope of meeting here at an early day. An invitation therefore having been extended to them at their meeting in Dalton, recently, by our City Fathers through Mr. J. M. Cooper, au enthu* siastio acceptance was the result. There was scarcely a dissenting voice. We see much good po result from this matter. It will be remembered that this Society represents the very bone mid sinew of our beloved State. They ore indeed the representative =9= 999 men of the several counties from which they hail—no little pony-horse far mers with only two and a half acres of Reared land and a small pole house in the middle, with bare-foot wife aud half clod children—but meu of means, of education, of intelligence, who are ever foremost in the great-enterprises of the day. These, together with oth* ;,.i 1 A'i ones invited to partake of the hospj- fnlitiea'of o«r city. They cd ue to us unbiased, unpredadiced, and will view everything in an unpartial light, and then having seen for themselves what we r 3o possess (the best deep water out let to the ocean in the State, with railroad communication to the inte rior) they will go back to their homes, and say to their wondering and amaz ed neighbors ns did the Queen of She ba, "The half has never been told," These men aye thoroughly awake to the importance of direct shipment >a- cross (hi Atlantic. They want a har bor—an outlet where they can reach the ocean direct. We have just that place, nnd now offer it to them. They are coming to see it. If it tills the bii’, who can tell the result? Then lift up your heads, desponding ones, fresh courage take, for we talk no idle dream—’tis atitrigible proposi tion we discuss, and,one fraught with weight. Then let us be up and doiug. Let us take oil necessary - steps- to se cure the great ends desired by erect ing wharves, Warehouses, etc. below Brandy Point,', with* communication by dirt and rail to - tbe same, where the largest ocean steamer can anchor at any stage of ihe tide, t’ome, what say, ye men of capital? h To the citizens as a whole we world si..y, get ready to help In entertaining these delegates.

Tbe Chicago Times recently sold some twenty odd thousand extra cop ies on the strength of its editor’s com pulsory visit to the lock-up.
