Beware of a merchant who is too s ingy to advertise his goods. lie will ‘‘do you one” if he gets a chance. A certain young lady told us a few days ago that a certain young man in Jackson needs to be hand-cuffed win n he goes out with the girls. It will be learned, after spring lias fully opened, that nine-tenths of the peach trees, and a large proportion of the f >rest trees, were killed by the re cent freeze, a thing neyer before known iu this country.

Gardner is earnestly en deavoring to serve the people of Jackson as a faithful minister, aud they should show the r appreciation of 1 is set vices, by giving their attendance to these meetings. We are pained to learn of the serious illness of the wife of the li v. G. W.

In point of elegance, beauty and gran deur, the Star Store is hard to down when it comes to a handsome display of dtess goods, millinery, etc. Their store was most artistically decorated, and draped with the latest designs, shades, and texture of the finest dress patterns ever exibited in Jackson at their open ing last w eek, aud we have heard many words of praise from an appreciative public c mpHnu nting them upon the : appearance aud arrangement of their elegant display.

Alex Atkinson, of Butts county, will be in the race for congress against Col. T. B. Cabiniss.—Macon Evening News. Yes, the augus gave outthis valuable information some weeks ago and nearly every paper in the dis trict has had something to say on the subject. The Honorable Alex is a “stumper from Cork,” aud if he enters the race you will find him in the field as long as there remains a stump to stand upon. Ahorse can’t run awav with one of those safety bits at A. G. Hitehins. When the bird season, opens up again our Junior and Mr. Jas. L. Wagner are goingto have a shooting match to see which will have to “root the peg.” It is a tie as it now stands. They both went out with good intentions to kill or muti late every dove within 4 miles of Mr. Pitts Newton’s place on Friday last. They managed to kill about 4 boxes of cartridges, but the dove- are still ‘‘chew ing corn at the same old stand,” while J >e and the Junior have their arms in a sling from the incessant jar of “banging away” at imaginary objects which never r* ached the earth. Joe says his caps got wet, and every good shot he would get the old gun would fail to fire, hut the smoke over in his neighborhood won’t bear out hi* rssertiou. We are confident somebody lowered the sight ou our gun, however, as we shot just about half an inch below every bird, and Andrew MoClendou says he picked up about two j.ecks of bird's feet iu the vicinity of where we bombarded. Joe can't beat us shooting, and that’s all there is iu it! He may beat us trading she.ls at the rate of three for adore, but when it come to shooting, we can load and shoot as quick as any man in Butts county, and that’s all we weutout there to do!
