the oi-casion was one of rare pleasure,

-—One man of a happy, joyous, lov¬
ing, kindly apiiit is worth more to a
community than a dozen doctors, so
far as keeping folks well. He •'arries
with him, wherever he goes, welcome
admission to any circle he may seek
to enter, and as soon as he enters, what
a change comes over all. It doesu't
look like the same crowd it was be¬
fore. Smiles take the place of frowns,
and case of restraint. Such a genial
gentleman is found in Mr. W. B.
Whidden, or our town. Happy man!
Gappy people they who hare one like
him in their town.

is rapidly appreaching. wlien it be¬
hooves us t» have our matters in bus
iness shape, we have engaged in the
unpleasant task of sending out state
melds of account to those of our friends

—Those of our readers who have
failed to read the letters of Uol. W. II.

crowd present, and a thorough reor¬ |
ganization was effected. The music
was indeed excellent, and I’rof. Ly¬

ply grand. I
—The cold wave struck this section I
on Monday evening last, and since
doubtless then a good many fat porkers have j
squealed I heir la*t squeal.— '
Syrup boilings are about over, but we
imagine that when hog killings and
syrup hoping* come together they
torm a pair that are hard to beat.
—An additional excellent stove ha*
been placed in position in the Metho¬ i
dist church, so that ihe building can
'
now be kept comfortably boated. The |

removed it is confide ntly hoped that i

City v*. Town.
A distinguished gentleman w.ho rc«j
sides in a flourishing city, asked one
ot our enterprising citicons, through
a kind letter, “Why don’t you leave
tho country town and come to the
city and engage in business? Why
bury your talents in a countiy towu f
Our enterprising citizen, who loves
a country life, thanked his city friend
tor his kind words, and added, “ I
have had enough of the hurry aVi'dpre- rush
and excitement of city work,
the quiet and ease of tho country
Hero there is no excitement to keep: a
fellows’ nervous system in a tension
from morning until night, every day
iu the week, Sunday not excepted,
There k plenty of time for an ahund
ancc of sweet, refreshing sleep. Leis¬
ure for reading, study, and meditation.
Occasional diver-ion can be had with
the rod on the glassy lakes, and the
-hady creeks, angling for the un weary
yellow breasted bream, the silver
■•ided brook trout, or the forked tail
channel cat with his polka dotted >ides.
The fields are filled with tlie whirring
quail, and the foicsts are abundantly
supplied with squirrels, ducks, turkeys
and other wiki game. This out door
exerei-c in the pure air fills his lungs
with life-giving ozone, rejuvenates his
whole physical organization and puts
an appetite on him that the man who
takes his early morning cocktail for
that purpose, knows nothing about.
All tlwse pastoral pleasures are denied
the city man. It is work work every
day—all the time like the rolling of the
stone by Sisyphus.
Balmy air, the odor of the woods and
the wild flowers, farm scenery, lowing
herds, grunting porkers, bleating
lambs and the singing of birds iu every
bush and bower. All these compared
to the ru.-h and hut ry and din and con¬
fusion of the dusty city, with coal
smoke, escaping gases, some as deadly
as that which is exhaled from the Upas
tree, putrid sewers, loaded with fever
germs, disea«e and death. Wc will
take tliecountry all the rest of our days
iu preference. The people may not be
so intelligent, so elegant, polished and
refined, but they are sincere, honest,
big hearted, and hospitable. A subur¬
ban home near a large city would be
desirable,but the average man is rarely
wealthy enough to enjoy such luxu¬
ries. The country man is contented
and happy, and that is more than our
city brother can say. We know from
experience and not mere observation.

Bartow, Ga., Nov. 26 , 1887 .
Eiutok Joi’Rnai. : I have happened
up on nothing newsy or interesting in
several days.
Fa i hi res in thi* town arc* becoming
almost every day occurrences. W. I’.
Smith,ag’t, the leading merchant here,
failed several days ago, and hi* im¬
mense stock is being dosed out at very
low prices.
11 . ('. Kea, who was* recognized as
the leader of low price*, turned li is
entire stock over to a mortgage-holder
not long since, and retired from busi
less, very unsatisfactorily to his cred¬
itoi s.
D. M. Ferry & Co., the world-re¬
nowned seedmen, of Detroit. Midi.,
tailed by about 200 boxes to sell a*
few seeds in this town this year a
they did last year. Their representa¬
tive was here to-dav and relieved hi*
cllstolncrt ot . tll , hc ;, u i , lock 0I1 haml

Boh has made money and friends in
Bartow, and l feel safe in saying that
*‘ time will bring him his reward.”
Tlie next term of Bulloch superior
court will be the most interestiug in its
history. Everybody over there raises
black *eed cotton, ai d most of them
sell it in the seed. W. W. Oliff, of Ex¬
celsior, runs several black seed gins,
and buys this variety in seed at from
4 ' s to 6 cts. per pound. The gin is
considerable distance from the store,
and in consequence, for two or three
years, his customers have been going
direct to tlie gin, gelling the old nc-'
gro, who attended to it, to weigh their
eotton and send amount to Mr. Olilf,
who would agree with parly as to
price and settle for number of pounds
stated by the weigher.
Year after year heavy losses were
sustained by this firm, and ull could
bo traced back to tlie cotton seed book,
which when compared with tlie yield
of lint, accounted for ad. The negro
was shown the results of his transac
Bon* and asked in positive terms to
explain. He was told that the secret
was out, and that tlie plain truth
would save a rigid examination. He
made the matter very plain by giving
the names of sixteen parties who had
induced him to annex an “0” to tlie
amount of cotton weighed up, and
thus increase the weight by ten. lie
remembered all the parties, number of
times, and for what consideration this
fraud had been practiced. The names
of parties with the number of pounds.
atated by the darkev, were duly regis
tered, and when the intelligence reach
them, every man came up, confea
aiu ^ coniproinised. This gave Mr.
Olliff satisfaction, and nothing more
was *aid about U until llie last term
"* '‘""h "hen the grand jury in dieted
dte entire lot, and will give them
bearing at the next term ot court,
8 mie of the mo-t progressive farmers
in the county figured coiiHpicunti'dy
in ttic theft, and frankly admitted it.
The negro skipped, but will t, c
back at the proper time, used
as evidence in the prosecution of the
indicted, and t lien made to suU'ei the
penalty himself.
The conrl house at ReidsviUe is l»c

A Pointer lor tlie Antis.
As there is some talk of an election
being held in our county at an early
day lor prohibition or anti-prohibi¬
tion, the following very ingencous
rule showing the profit a family may
derive from a single whiskey-drink¬
ing member, may bo of some benefit
to the latter class :
One gallon of whiskey costs about
$ 3 , and contains on the average tin ten
cent drinks. Now, if you must drink
whiskey, buy a gallon and make your
wife bar-keeper; then when you are
dry give her 10 cents for a drink.
When tho whiskey is gone, site will
have, after paving tor it, f 3 .,"> 0 loft, and
every gallon therealter will yield tlie
same profit. This money she should
put away in the savings bank, so that,
when you have become an inebriate,
unable to support yourself, shunned
and despised by every respectable
person, your wife may have money
cm ugh to keep you until your time
conics to fill a drunkard’s grave.

It has been thought advisahh* t"
change the date of arbor day in Geor
gia. Heretofore the fourth Wedues
day in November ha* been designated
a* the day, but it was found that the
day was very objectionable as a holi
day for school children, and beside
was loo early for many sections of the
state. Tlie governor lias, upon the
recommendation of Hon. (J. It- Pringle
president of the American Forestry
Congress, the officials of tlie Southern
Forestry Congress, and many citizens
who have taken interest in the matter,
appointed and set apart Friday, De¬
cember 2 d, as at hot- day for Georgia,
and urgently recommend its general
observance by the people of the state
and especially by municipal corpora¬
tions and the public schools.
The second day comes on Friday
aud wo suggest that the people turn
out en lnassee and devote one day to
