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.
