LIGON.
We had a very fine rain on Tuesday,
which did not come any too soon, as we
wc‘re needing it very badly.
Farmers are in a rush chopping cotton
and farmers’ wives and daughters are
preparing for the picnics. It seems that
they are just ripe enough to be mellow,
and some oTour young jieople are par
taking of them very freely. Several at
tended the Stilesborough picnic. They
do not speak of having such a grand
time, as there was not any music on the
grounds, and the only pastimes were sit
ting around .talking, taking buggy rides,
and hunting for water. The latter was
the most important, as it was very warm
that day, and it required a great deal of
it. Several will attend the Euharlee pic
nic oq, Saturday.
A few days ago, while one of the ten
ants on Mr. R. L. Griffith’s place was try
ing to burn some leaves on anew ground,
let the fire get the advantage of him and
burn several hundred rails and about ten
cords of wood that was ready prepared
for his engine.
The quarterly meeting was held at Oak
Grove, last Saturday and Sunday. It
was largely attended, and every member
seemed to be proud of his new white
church, and ought to be proud of such a
beautiful edifice.
We ha ve the most remarkable mocking
bird of which we have yet heard. It has
been singing for thrc.3 weeks from day
light until dark. We fear that he will
kill himself singiug so much, as he ap
pears to be much smaller than when we
first noticed him. Will some one tell us
how to trap him, as we very much desire
his capture.
Mrs. J. O. Ligon will spend a few days
in Chulio this week.
Mr. Marion Martin has bought anew
two-horse buggy.
Mr. Ab. Reynolds has just finished his
beautiful little cottage. Wonder when he
is going to bring her home.
Masters Edgar and Charley called on
two young ladies last Sunday evening.
Wonder what was their object in borrow

The State Democratic Convention.
The State Democratic Convention met
in the House of Representatives, Atlanta,
AVednesday morning. A platform indors
ing Cleveland, was adopted, and delegates
were elected to the National Convention.
From the Seventh Congressional conven
tion; J. M. Mcßride, of Haralson county,
and E. D. Graham, of this city, were
elected delegates. The delegates from the
state at large are Hons. Pope Barron,
Fleming W. Dußignon, AA'ashington Des
sau and Albert H. Cox.
Gen. P. M. B. Young, of this county,
was put in nomination by Mr. John W.
Akin, as a delegate from the state at
large. At this Gen. Young arose, and
returning thanks for his nomination,
withdrew his name. In making the nom
ination Mr. Akin said:
“The candidate whose name I present
belongs to a county which bears an hon
ored name, a name which w ill find a re
sponsive echo in the heart ot every Geor
gian who saw the gallant Bartow ride to
his death. [Applause.] But it is need
less to ask from where this candidate
hails. At Fredericksburg, Gettysburg,
Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, and a
hundred other conflicts, a major general
at the age of twenty-five, he represented
the best spirit of Southern valor. The
day has not come, and I trust never will
come, when it will cease to be a recom -
mendation to the people of Geo.igia that
he was a trus<e 1 lieutenant of I.e, spil'-
ing his best blood, and wounded four
times in her behalf. Mr. President, he
stands firmly upon the platform of tl e
Democratic majority; and, as an ap
pointee of the President, he has been in
full accord with the Democratic adminis
tration, familiar with the councils of the
party, and squarely right upon the great
questions now before the people of this
country, and with them in their conflict
with the monopolies, the trusts, and ev
ery form of oppression. I present the
name of General I*. B. M. A'oung, of the
County of Bartow. [Applause.]

Only at AVord’s may 11 tf
AVe have seen beautiful gold
fillings and so many handsome plates
mounted with such beautiful artificial
teeth of the very best make, giving such
perfect satisfaction, and made at such
reasonable prices, that we cannot refrain
from making honorable mention of the
same. The Doctor estimates that he has
made about three thousand plates, aver
aging about fourteen teeth to the plat?,
which is forty-two thousand artificial
toetli. How important then is it that
we try to save our natural teeth, and the
teeth of our children, and for patience,
skill, experience and success in nearly
every instance, we could not recommend
one more highly than our worthy den
tist, Dr. R. E. Cason.
