The jjujintj-third Georgia will have a reunion at- Canta on the 23rd inst. , f! ■.■»» Lester, Turner, Crisp and ISIount are safe. Another illustration ol the survival of the fittest. On the 12th inst. the Masons ol the city ol Macon will lay the corner stone ol the new hotel being erected in Cor- dele. 3 The survivors of the fourth Georgia will have their sixth annual reunion on the 13th inst. Mor.ticello has been selected as the place for the meeting. The little man who occupies the white house has been weighed at.d lipped the beam at 193 pounds. This is nearly pure flesh and bone, he is too cold to have much blood, and lias shown that he has no heart or brains to speak of. Congress has been in session nearly nine months now and if they have done anything for the good of H e country we have failed to discover it in the proceedings, and yet they con tinuc ta stay there and may remain till time lor the next session to begin. The friends of Mr. Wiley W. Groo ver, are pained to learn of his ex treme illness. He was stricken with pralysis a few days ago, and his re covery is not expected. Mr. Groover was oue of the most successful farmers and highly esteemed citizens ot Brooks eounty. Col. Dan Hughes who started out to capture Mr. mount’s seat in Con gress is complaining .because the nominating convention was fixed for Aug. 6, and as he did not announce his candidacy until July 22, he had only two weeks lor electioneering, lie calls it gag-law, an outrage and ads- grace to democracy. Alt, colonel, the late bird does not breakfast on the worm.—Savannah Times. The invention by which writing can be transferred from paper to iron the work of a boston man, who has invented a hard inte with which he writes (backward) upon ordinary paper. The paper is placed in a mold, melted iron is poured in, and when the hardened iron is removed it is found that, while the heat burned away the paper, it did not affect the ink, but left the impression of the wtiling molded into the iron. This discovery was made by noticing one day that the printing on an ordinary handbill that by accident had fallen into the mold was taintly transferred in this way. ■ To Colonize Negroes. Sr. Louis, August 5.—J. Milton Turner, an attorney, will leave for New York to-day to arrange the de tails of his plan for colonizing negroes in Mexico. He says the plan is being promoted by a firm ot coffee dealers in New York, who have a capital ol about $5,000,000. The purpose of the firm, .he said, yesterday, is to put negroes to raising coffee and sugar. They own about 21,000,000 acres of land, which will be divided among the colonists. No rental will be charged for tbc; land, and the firm will furnish all the means ol support for the negroes till they can get their grounds under cultivation and become self sustaining. They are willing to spend $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 in that way. The First Step. A judge at Troy has held that the baby carriage is a public nuisance, and fbe mother pushing it around is liable , to apest, and one at Oswego hat given a citizen $15 damages for being run into and having his shins barked by a vehicle containing a red headed baby. An Eloquent Apostrophe to Her Many Personal Charms. [ \\\ .1. Hampton in New York Worbl.] The Summer Girl, born of the south wind and the June sun, she flits, a dainty, rosy, dimpled apparition, clad 111 gowns that disclose and yet conceal her myriad charms, across the leaf-em- bo wired stage of summer. Wayward and capricious as are the firc-fi ex of a summer night, she beck ons and we follow. Rare product of the summer season, she stands alone among her sex. A mermaid at Narra- gansett, a dryad at Richfield and a nymph at Wlme Sulphur, she changes her mood and tense to suit the woods or sea. All lui 1 , the Summer • jirl! We fear her and we love her! flow like that rare Mosaic portrait this! How true the tints and shades that touch this fairest being ot the world; this symphony in gingham, when the sun doth stand atop the hills; this harmony in cloudlul, misty tulle, wit n night comes on and hangs her lantern in the sky ! ..I! hail, the Sum mer Girl, the fluffy flower ol June, the sweet rosebud ol ail the year; the sea son's charm, the dear ideal of a day that, when the winter twilight falls, lades into darkness and is gone. Ephemeral sweetness born to live so short a time, it needs must be that in th s little span a world of loveliness must be enclosed, else would there be no summer girl. She is the child of bird songs and of flowers ; a gay and gladsome sprite that floats upon a wave of plaits and futbeiows, of tucks and flounces, of parasols and fans, and with a blue eyed smile, a kiss high- tilted on her finger tips, a nod as if a sunbeam bent to touch a rose, a cherry nord, a laugh, contagious as are Cupid’s pains, a whispered sigh, an eyelid drooping to the tone of tender swain, she trips fantastic through the months and takes the sunlight with her when she goes.

C,, July 31.—Samuel Colgatt, an ambit ous office-seeker of lulgtfteld county, makes the following unique announcement of his candidacy through the columns of a local paper: To the Good People of Edgefield: Tnc wind bloweth where it listeth and no man cm tell whence 11 comes or whither it goeth, but I am not that kind of a cat. I am a Ben Tillman cat, and, if elected county commis sioner, propose to reform, beautify, adorn, resuscitate, rejuvenate and re- habflitatc Edgefield county from the edge of the water up to the top of the rocks. I am a laboring man and haul wood. If not elected I can haul on. I would say more, but I am a man of few words and full of trouble.—New York Herald. SAID IT FOR A HOAX. But the Common Law Stepped in and Hoaxed Him- Society in Lincoln, Neb-, is some what torn up over the sensational situ ation in which John Shultz, a hand some and wealthy druggist, finds him self. Several days ago it was announced by Schultz that *he had married Mrs. B.dford, a charming widow employed at the Bond hotel, and he publicly in troduced her as his wife. The lady was congratulated by all her friends upon her remarkably lucky capture. Schultz announced to-day that the marriage was a joke and a hoax, but the lady will not listen to this. She admits that there was no marriage cer emony, but since he has publicly ac knowledged her as his wife the act constitutes a common law marriage and she is his wile. She has appealed to the courts to support her claim. The merchants of Macon and other cities in Georgia are already agitating the state fair to he held in October. It is said that President Northen has received numerous letters promising exhibits. The entire state should feel and exercise a lively interest in thr. state fair.
