FROM HADDOCKS,
Miss Maude Hardeman, whose at
tainments are only excelled by her
many graces, brought delight to
numerous Haddock fiiends during
the few days spent in their midst.
Attritiox will tell.
The favorably known, Mr. J.
Sutherland, of Milledgeville, wor
ried through the day taking orders
from our various merchants. His
bou-mots were quite refreshing,
A long felt want, in the shape of
a good wood mechanic, has been
realized in the locating at this place
of Mr. Orrie Finney. IIo is an ex
pert.
Sound the timballs! Hot the
band play! For our “Will” hath
gone overboard, sinker-line-atid-all,
with perhaps the worst ease of
“spoons,” yet recorded, Will has
been our pride, our joy, but no more
will that dulcet voice possess its
charm, for love-making has chang
ed it to a fog-horn. Guard thy
young heart William, for you may
inherit the vacum left by a bliz
zard.
Regular service day at Portville
found Rev. Mr. Phillips with a good
congregation. Some were deterred
by ominous clouds. (Here’s your
chance to knife the undersigned, ye
wit). A select trio of young gents
from Milledgeville, were present;
and besides the benefit of an in
structive sermon, were rewarded
with Unit hospitality of our people,
which is so closely allied to their
Lares and Penates.
“New is the winter of our dis
cent,” minus the son of York, for
weave admonished that the “Sword
of Damocles” by'a single thread, is
above ns. Our scalp is ready, and
the tilt will prove none the less en
even if mine enemy should
present frailties and foibles without
number. Sail in, ray dear sir, and
let us drive with all the vim possi
ble, you have a wide scope, for in
our youth a very large field was as
signed us for thoae traditional “wild
oafs,” and with sorrow, but no de
nial, do we admit the soft impeach
ment. We are vulnerable.
Wo are willingto chip in, and pay
some body’s fare and other expen
ses, to the Sub-Tropical Exposition
who will admit upon bis return,
that lie did not stop at the tcn-dol
larperday Policy. Ilk fortune is
assumed in any dime museum. As
yet the record stands unbroken.
Connected with the mercantile es
tablisbnv'nt of John Anchors is a
Mr. Kemp, who as a salesman has
but few equals, and when it conics
to dressing and decorating a store,
lie is simply par excellence.
