Harley of this county, now in her seventieth year, has an invitation which vjas sent to her in 1841 to the“Tippecanoe Ball,” General Harrison’s grandfather’s ball, given in Washington City when he was inaugurated President of the United States. The invitation is on heavy tinted paper. The lettering is ill gilt. "Besides containing the usual words of invitation, the names of the floor managers and other committees, there is in the center of the ptvge • a representation in gilt of a log cabin, which was rather a badge of the Harrison party. They adopted this tosliow that they were riot ashamed of what their opponents called the “backwoods” origin of their candidate. The blank leaf on the invitation was torn off during the war to be used for writing paper. In 1841 Mrs. Harley’s brother-in-law, the late Judge Eugeriius Nisbet, of the su preme court,was a member of congress from Georgia. Have yon a cough ? Sleepless night need no longer trouble jyou.

Juo Tavern, Ga., March 15.—Des pite the combined effort of the Far mers Alliance to prevent its members from using guano, the sales are unpre cedented so early in the season. One prominent metnber advised Ihe mer chants to be cautious in buying lest they should have to carry it over, as he, as well as others, would not use a sack this year. But he had five wagon loads hauled out to his farm aftor dark, buying it through the Alliance Compa ny. At H< schton the combination went through, and in one day one firm there, Messrs. DcLaperric, Smith & Co, sold and delivered over four hundred sacks of guano. The Late It. W. Townshend. Representative R. W.
