TOWN AND COUNTY.
Mrs .E. G. HARDEMAN, Local Editress.
The weather is yet quite warm.
Farmers are rejoicing over the
recent rain.
Our boys reported a lino timo in
Mouticello.
Our farmers about Gray can boast
of some fine watermelons.
Our town has been quite dull the
past week. Most every body oft
recreating._
Capt. R. Bonner, of Macon, is vis
iting his son. Mr. Henry Bonner;
near Gray.
Mrs. Rowe Price, of Macon, is now
(ho guest, of her brother Henry
Bonner, near town.
Mrs. Morris and daughter, Miss
Rosa, of Macon, spent this week
with the family of R. J. Turner,
near town.
Several days past, Daugh Pitts,
a colored boy near town, cut his
foot with a piece of glass. At first
it was not thought very serious,
bat it has since pained him so
that it gave him the lockjaw and
he is not expected to live.
Col. Harry P. Brown, who has
for some time conducted in a most
successful mannor, the Griffin Sun,
left Griffin Tuesday to accept a po
sition on the Macon Evening News.
There is not a better news-ga t hei’or
in Georgia than Harry Brown.
We are informed that at a meet
ing of the C. & M. authorities yes
terday at Athens, J. G. Key,Esq.,
Mouticello, was elected vice-presi
dent of the Covington and Macon
road, vice Col. Frobel deceased.—
Macon Evening News.
We clip tho following from the
Jasper Gout ty News;
Wo congratulate the C. & M. R. R.
and tho people of Jasper county up
on the election of Major J. C. Key
to tho Mice Presidency of this road
Major Key has been with this en
terprise from its inception, and has
been its friend at all times, at all
places, and under all cicnrastances.
lie has tho confidence of our people
and of those who have put their
money in this enterprise, and while
he is a quiet and meek man, ho has
the moral courage to stand to his
convictions of duty and right
against all opposition.
While in the Central City if you
are hungry or thirsty and want a
good nu al, and your thirst quenched
drop in at tho “Brilliant” and Bis
cuit Smith will see that you are
treated all right. Try him.
Cham pm an and Jones, Macon
Ga., have just received a car load
of well broke horses which they
Parties arc offering for sale very low.
in want of good horses or
mutes will find it to their interest
to call at Hotel De Horse and give
the boys a showing.
Col. Jesse M. Hunt sent the Tele
giaph a sample of sweet potatoes
grown by him on his farm in Jones
county. They are large, fine fel
|°ws, and yesterday all he brought
m were sold readily at 83 per bushel.
( ol Hunt says it beats cotton, and
bo expects to pay tho entire expense
°I bis cotton crop out of tho pro
eeds of his potato patch and he
will do it.—Macon Telegraph.
tXISTOi LOCALS.
Miss Mullakin, of Franks, is vis
iting Miss Ophelia Christian of this
place..
Mrs. R. B. Barron, ot Clinton, is
visiting Mrs, J. IL Kelly, ofMou
ticello.
Master Frank A Ilervey is spend
ing a part of his vacation with Mas
ter Gordon Ilardcman.
Misses Lois Johnson and Salllo
Barron are spending the week with
Miss Ina Kelley of Monticollo.
Mrs, Hardeman and children are
still absent in Talbotton, and we re
gret to learn are detained by the ill
ness of her baby Ruth. They were
expected homo on Tuesday. Wo
hope to hear of the speedy recovery
of the Baby and safe return of her
self and children.
Messrs. F. M. Stewart and F. S.
Hardeman spent last Sabbath in
Mouticello, returning Monday, and
from a conversation wo over-heard
were about returning to look after
Mr. Jim Stexvart the same day, “so
they said’,” but we have an opinion
that it was some other attraction.
Lookout, Clinton girls, these young
men are not riding up and down the
C. & M. load without some interest
ing object in view.
Many ol the farmers hereabouts
are making ready for “fodder pull
ing” this is one of the old fogy no
tions handed down from sire to sou
and like cotton will eoutmue to be
gathered double its cost, causing
them lo grow poorer and oooror
each year when one half the labur
time and expense would gather a
hay crop of doublo the advantage
and much more nutritious.
The primary election for Repre
sentative ou yesterday brought out
a full vote. The contest was be
tween J udge Richard Johnson and
Ex-Representative G, W- Comer.
From all the information wo could
gain from the different precincts
late last night Judge Johnson has
carried the county by a handsome
majority. The Dem. Ex. Committee
meets this morning to consolidate
the returns and to declare the result.
If Judge Johnson is nominated and
so declared by the committee this
morning as all information indicates
Jones county will bo ably represent
ed in the next General Assembly
Now give us a good Senator from
Twiggs and wo will be happy. We
will publish full returns from the
different precincts in our next issue.
The drouth that has prevailed in
and about Clinton lor a month end
ed freshing last Sunday by a timely and have re
season, and many
taken advantage of its coming, to
put in a good turnip crop. Nothing
along about hog killing timo fills
the bill so completely as “hog-jowl
and turnips,” besides the turnips
furnish such a tino feed for milch
cows and it pays so well in highly
flavored, golden butter. Try it, and
don’t forget that this is a good plat time of
to commenco preparing a seeding
ground near the lot for
down an early rye or barley the patch cold
for your milk cows during March,
months of February and
with enougli to give your mules and
horses a cutting occasionally and
you have no idea how much earlier
they will rid themselves in the
spring and take on a fine slick coat
of hair.

Letter from the Editress.
Talbotton, July 31st 1888.
This is one of Georgia’s old towns,
but its many handsome and well
kept residences with their pretty
vino-covered verandas and bright
flower yards, clean streets, and
elegant brick business houses gives
to the town a modern air. The
business square has been burned
out twice since tho war, but since
our last visit just ten years ago,
whon wo left nothing but bricks
and ashes, those have sprung up.
Phoenix like, ono of tho most sub
stantial blocks in middle Georgia.
On tho corner Capt S. W. Thornton
has an elegant store containing a
general assortment ol Millinery,
dry goods and groceries, In tho
second story is his well managed
hotels. There are besides the Dry
goods stores of Heath, Weeks, Per
sons, Kinibough Bros, and Spain,
‘ The Alliance Store” managed by
Mr. Thos. N. Beall. The grocery
establishments of Ragland, Spiveys,
Estes, and Johnson and C. W.Kim
bough also occupy desirable stands,
while tho drug stores of Bard well,
Leo and Thornton, despite the usual
healthiness of the Talbot climate,
have patronage.
Tho flourishing livery stablo of
L. A. Baldwin also has a popular
stand. We are surprised to seo so
many private nobby “turn outs."
Almost over) family has one, and
every morning and evening bright
eyed and roby cheeked lasses aro
seen cantering by on sleek steeds.
Talbot county has always been
noted for its pretty girls. Wc
think they aro not excelled in the
South.
We have been royally entertain
ed at the elegant house of our
kinsman, L. A. Baldwin, who is one
of tho energetic young men of this
generation. Ills herd of twenty or
more glossy Jerseys and Holsteins,
with their soft eyes, bring visions
of rich cream and golden butter.
Our ride behind tho equine beauty,
“Charlie,” who was awarded the
2nd prize at tho last State Fair and
for whom he has refused $1000.00,
was one to ho remembered. Mr.
Baldwin has, with credit to himself
and honor to tho county, held for
past two years tho trust worthy
position of County Treasurer and
will be unanimously re-clccted this
Fall. He is not only a favourite in
his own “home town” but all over
tbe whole county,-—wncro ever his
genial smile is seen, a host of friends
welcome him. Writing ofour rela
tive “L A” reminds us that from
his aneestval tree, there branches
only 75 dccendants. Of this re
markable family we have, during
our visit shaken tho hand of forty
nine!
Of course whore there are so
many members, there are babies, so
whon wearioil with their infantile
“racket” we wend our way to tho
delightful home of Col. J. J. Bull,
where wo find no baby at all, but a
host aDd hostess that havo no equal
on this broad earth. Col Bull is
too well kno -vn in the State for any
words of ours as an introduction.
Col. Bull and wife having no parent
al responsibilities, devote much of
their timo to tho enjoyment of tho
young people, and whilo witness
ing their charming ministrations
last Friday evening we ceased to
wonder why they were so popular ,
On that evening they tendered a
complimentary Reception to “our
Maude.” There were ton couples
iu attendance and a delightful eve
ning spent in sociable converse,
with a welcome addenda of salads,
creams, and cakes.
Our visit ends on Tuesday, and
at five o’clock Wednesday wo take
tho train here for Bastrick where
wc connect with the Macon bound
train. We leave in Talbot our only
living relatives on tho Smith side,
Maj E. B. Smith and Mrs. Samuel
Baldwin. Tho former was 82 years
old the day we reached Talbotton.
E. G. II.
Tom Woolfolkhas taken the pau
per oath so his case can go to tho
supreme court without the payment
of costs.

The readers of the Headlight
will not fail to seo the new adver
tisement of Pb. M. Berg, Macon Ga.
He carries a well selected slock of
dry goods and sells them at rock
bottom prices. When visiting the
city call on hirn and be convinced
that he will give you a bargain.
Mrs. II. S; Gould, of Machen, Ga.,
is among the guests of the Hotel
Lanier, in Macon for a few days.
Capt. J. H. Winters, ono of the
Policemen of Macon, accompanied
by his wife, came up last Saturday
and wiii spend several davs with
relatives and friends in and around
Franks and Grays.
Athens Banner; Col. E. C.
Machcn’s many friends were glad
to see him in town last night. They
regret his brief stay in Athens.
Who knows Col. Machen has learn
ed to love him,
Tho motion for a new trial in the
ease of The State vs. Thos. G. Wool
follc has been overruled by Judge
Gustin. Tho ease now goes to the
Supremo Court, but will probably
not La passed upon by that tribu
nal before November or Docember,

SCHOOL
Tho exorcises of this school will
open the first oi October under an
able faculty the head of which is
Dr. Hopkins. And in this con
nection we call attention to
tho advertisement of Mr. A.
II. S. McKay, County School
Commissioner, to bo found in this
issue. Those desiring to enter this
school from Jones county must ap
ply to Mr. McKay to to examined
ou Saturday, the first day ot Sep
tember next.
We find the following iu tbe Ath
ens Ban nor-Watch m'iu;
Monday evening a reporter of tho
Banner-Watchman saw a party of
gentleman steering towards the
cit^ clerk’s office, and shouldering
his pencil this same reporter start
ed to sec why tbe said gentlemen
were there. Ho found Col. E. C.
Machcu there, accompanied by
Maj. John C. Key, of Monticollo;
A. C. Palmer, of Macon ; 11. M.
Herman, of Now York ; and Col.
N. E. Harris, of Maeon.
These gentlemen came over on a
pleasure trip, as well as to make ac
quaintances.
These gentlemen visited the road
near the cemetery, and were well
pleased with tho work being done.
J\tr. Harris is a grad u a to ef the State
University, and mot many of the
friends he know when in college
there, Tho party will leave this
morning tor Macon.
Col. E. C. Machen, Hon N. E.
Harris, attorney, and one or
other representatives of the Coving
ton & Macon road, wero in Athens
yesterday and went beforo tho city
council and asked that body for the
right of way through tho streets.
One or two members of tho board
were opposed to immediate action
and asked for a postponement to
some future day. Mr. Harris, at
torney for tho road, said that he
could see no reason ior a postpone
ment, and thought tho city should
bear a portion of thodamago should
any exist after tho road was com
pleted.
Mayor Hodgson followed Mr.
Harris in a few remarks and coin
cided with him in his views by say
ing that the business brought to
Athens by tho building of tlio road
would greatly offset suits for dam
ages. Council then went into secret
session, and when tlio body recon
vened an ordinauce was passed giv
ing tho Covington & Macon the
right of way through tho streots.^
