To Our Hubscrlbcrs,
Wo again make a most earnest ap.
peal to our delinquent subscribers.
We arc greatly in need of money.
Indeed, it is impossible to furnish you
with a readable and acceptable paper
without necessary means. The Post
Office denies us the right of sending
out our accounts except under the
full postage rate, and as this is alto
gotlic* too expensive a mode, we
trust and earnestly request that all
those who are in arrears with this of
fice will at once call and settle. If
iron can’t pay all, pay part. If you
avc no money, bring us eggs, chick-
sns, butter, beef, lamb, mutton, or
rsything in the provision line which
will help us out these hard times. We
:iope we shall not havd to make an
other appeal to our subscribers, but
hat this will serve to nerve all to
compassion for the printer, who feels
nore than all others the hard times.
iVhere there arc no Money Order
iffices funds can be sent by registered
etter at our expense and risk.

we acknowledge a pleasant call
from Mr. J. W. Alexander, one of the
leading planters of Punks county.
Also from Mr. G. L. Rice, of Fort
Lamar, Madison county, who is one
of the best fanners in the country.
We were delighted on yesterday,
with a visit from out* ancient friend,
Mr. J. W. Burke, of Macon. As he
has purchased the book store of bis
brother T. A. Burke, we hope to see
him more frequently in our city.

It may be well jUart here to state
that Mr Menard’s watch keeps college

the thing for the girls to ask him
what time it is. After the presenta

dismissed and the Orchestra of Burns’
Silver Cornet Band furnished de
lightful music for the dance, which
began immediately in the spacious

A delicate complexion is best com
