We havo noted the above bargains, and havent space to speak of the mag uificent display of lovely silks, veh v ets, lace oversuits, ribbons, etc. 'lhese occupy no small space. CLINTON LOCALS. We are ne- ding rain budly. Corn is looking fine, cotton com b's up. Did you go down to hear die won derful Gilmore band? Capt. Robert II. Barron, wife and son spent last week in Clinton. We are enjoying delicious straw berries from our garden this week. Dr. R. B. Barron spent last week in Rome attending the Medical Convention. Town very dull, since Court ad journed. Reminds one of Gold smiths ‘•Deserted village.’’ Mrs. II S. Greaves accompanied hy Mrs. Park left to-day for a visit to Mrs. Fagan in Fort Valley. Mr. Henry Smith, of Rome is in town this week, in the interest the late Capt. B. M. Hood, the fa ther-in-lttw of Mr. Smith. Capt. John W. Bradley Sr., and Mrs. Meteor wore married Tuesday last. The Headlight tenders its best wishes to the happy pair. Miss Ada L. Griswold has t ecu visiting Clinton the past week. She returns to Macon Tuesday accom panied hy her hostess, Miss Lois Johnson. Jimmie Morgan says Frank Stew art opened his mouth so wide laugh ing al the sociable Monday night that lie actually saw the pegs in his shoe soles! The many ftiends of Col, E C Grier will regiet to learn that he has been quite sick at his homo in Macon. We trust he will soon re cover. He is a useful man. The death of Roseoe Colliding lakes from the Republican party itb brightest star. He was a wonder fully endowed politician, a man of strong prejudices but ol massive in tellect. In the jury drawn in the case of Berry versus M and A R R. were Rodolphus, Ed, and Willie Lester, J. T. and Henry Finney. Three Lester and two Finney brothers. Rather remarkable wasn’t it? Miss Witla Glawson was married to Mr. Raleigh Bowden of Monroe county, week before last. Her fa ther Mr. S. B. Glawson objected to the marriage and it was a “Gretna Green” affair. However all parties nave become reconciled. Mrs. Thomas J. Woolfolk, of James Station spent last Friday with Mrs. Greaves. She is one of the purest specimens of “a perfect woman nobly planned’ that we ever met, and we regret that she has been quite unwell for some time. Quite an enjoyable time was spent by the young ladies and gen tlemen of Clinton <m Monday even ing at a “sociable,’' complimentary to Mist Ada Griswold at the commo dious residence of Col. Hardeman. After a pleasant time spent ju con versation and repartee, refreshments were served. Miss Ada will always find a smiling welcome from Clin ton i its. BLOUNTS! ILLE ITEMS. As I never see any’ mention ofonr litt e village in your paper probably a few little dots may not be amiss. The farmers are much behind with their work, owing to the con tinued rains of March and April, and now find themselves into the mid dle of “Gentle Spring” and cotton planting season with very little work done. Every one seems to be trying to lake advantage of tlio pretty spell we are having, and the squeak ol the cotton-planters is heard on every side. The corn crop is up beautifully, and a good acreage has been plan ted. It seems as if tho olt reitera ted admonitons of the newspaper man in regard to the raising of plen ty of “hog and hominy” is being acted on. On the 17th inst. quite a nico little eveut occured at tho residence of Mrs. J. T. Williams. The quilting ofan Album quilt, intended for a rising . . young physician ... of .. this , . place, , who nas worked himself into the good graces of all the ladies around, Quite a crowd of ladies assembled, married and unmarried, and after several hours of good work with deft fingers (and tongues) they re paired to the dining room, where an elegant table Was spread, loaded down with subs’antials,supplement ed with an abundance of cake, ice cream, etc. After dinner the quill was quickly finished and all agreed they had spent t he most pleasant day in a long while. No gentlemen were expected and our clever host finding that ho was likely to bo the only mala representative to face all the array of feminine beauty sud denly remembered having uigent business in Clinton 1 .So the ladies bad the field entirely.
