Carson & McDaniel are opening up a nice line of consectioneries and fancy groceries. Fresh air is one of the things that has never been an inmate of Frank¬ lin county’s jail. Mrs. W. C. McEntirp and family visited Dr. Turner's family, of Hart county, last week. Miss Annie Proffitt, who has been visiting in Hartwell for some time, has returned home. Mr. Murphy, representative of the Northwestern Insurance company, is back in the county again. Limburgcr cheese haa a scent as sweet as the finest cologne in com¬ parison with the Carnesville jail. J. AY. Cannon and J. 3L Carson followed the escaped prisoners into South Carolina, but did not pen AVc did not learn the result in the Fourt li congressional nominating COll- volition before we had to go to press. Nobody will have a walk-over for congress in this county. It will be close between the two foremost men. Mr. Colley has made a more thor¬ ough campaign in Franklin county thon any of the candidates for con- gross. Remember that the Confederate vo -terans’ reunion will be August Cth. There will Be plenty to eat- and ev- orvbody vviii have a good time. Col. J. H. Parks left \\ ednesday morning for Hall county to visit rel¬ atives. lie will remain about two weeks.

The jolly Col.

There will be several speeches, among oth¬ ers, Col. P. P. Proffitt and Mr. S. J. Tribble, of this place. What is Wrong With the Mails'? AA'e have before mentioned in these that there was some negli¬ gence (if not negligence, something mysterious) concerning the mails cov¬ ering the territory in which The Ex- teiuuhse circulates. At A\ r alnut Hill we have a considerable list of subscribers, and several of them are constantly complaining that they do not get their paper regularly, some¬ times missing from two to six issues in succession. We are certain that we mail every subscriber his paper each week, and we are not to blame for his not getting it. At Urcna, Ranks county, we have small list of subscribers, one of which says that he does not get half of his papers, and when be does get them they arc two or three weeks old. This kind of business will ruin our circulation at these points if not corrected. If the papers do not reach these offices we would bo glad for the post masters to notify us, so that we may know the reason. Prof. Looney is Here. We welcome Prof. Morgan II. Looney to our town, and we promise him now that he will find a friendship in and around Carnesville that will encourage him to give us the best service of his life. The people are unanimous in their enthusiasm for Looney and Carnesville’s bright ed¬ ucational future. • -4k -SK - Marriage Near Bowman.

The p' ltraeteil dry weather has been broken up by copious showers of a gentle rain. The indications are in favor of a continued season, and nothing But an early frost will cut off a bountiful harvest, the greatest for many years. Our people have been having a fine time during vacation from their crops. The church-goers have put in a por¬ tion of their lime going to protracted meetings. One has just closed at Rock Creek church, with lour acces¬ sions of new converts. The church was much revived, and the outside world round about there much stirred up. The meeting will open at Ea-t- an&lloc Friday night. The boycot¬ ting ministers have become quite ac¬ ceptable, and they wield a great in¬ fluence. They have ever had to con¬ tend with beasts after the manner of Paul at Ephesus, and keeping vigi¬ lance after the dogs in conformity with the divine admonition. Re ware vf dogs! The Alliance picnic at Liberty Hill was rained out. It gave, promise of a grand affair till word came from C;tpt. Harry that he could not at¬ tend, and Col. Larry was engaged at the editorial desk in fighting for the right. We don’t care if It did rain, as the crops have recuperated from the drought. The piunieis posponed tiil next year to give a certain young man time to set liis house in order and procure a took. Polities are very much unsettled here as regards the congressional race. All three of the gentlemen may he worthy aspirants, hut there is a doubt as to tbeir representing the interest of the unprotected producer. Our people would have gone for Rvough- ton almost to a man if had have en¬ tered the race. AA'e feel quite san¬ guine over the prospects of the legis¬ lative race. The people claim there is no better man to represent us than Dr. T. G. Underwood, and will carry this part of the county solid. The only fears to be entertained is that a scheme is on foot to ride in a dark horse, though he cannot effect this part of the county, let him he ever so black. We attended a public speaking not long since in the N intit district. There was an effort made to divert the minds from the main issue* as regards the interests of the farmer. Rut ev¬ ery effort will be in vain. The hearts of the laboring classes are fixed the one leading issue pointing to their protection, and it will be useless to try anj* other measure till this one is obtained. Crush and cramp a people financially in a government and ev¬ erything else lags with them. Give them financial protection and they stand ready for everything else. Protect the people and the govern¬ ment becomes endeared to them, arid they will come up to the rescue in every emergency. Rut, alas! AY hen the w ieked rule the nation groans, I.ATER. Since the above was written we have been over a portion of the county and wo find the rains have not been general. The crops in some sections are very much damaged. Up-land corn cannot possibly make over half a crop, and the growth of cotton has been greatly retarded. The second growth will hardly escape the frost if it comes by the 10th of October. Quite an interesting meeting ingo¬ ing on at Broad River church, EL ders Underwood and Stonceyphcr are in attendance. Mr. Pink AVilliains, an aged citizen, was buried at Liberty Hill cemetery the 2nd inst. Luck. Ladies flue coniL’i'm- enso shoe.- of j the Enterprise Store. SOME TRUE AND SOME ’j’ALSE Sensation Gantt Pictures the Carnes¬ ville Jail as a Small Sheol. The Athens Runner of the HOth ultimo contained a very slanderous and uncalled-for attack on the people of Franklin county and the official authorities concerning the county jail. If Sensation Gantt will draw on his imagination a little he will clearly see that tin* jail would Be in a worse condition as regards cleanliness Sun¬ day morning after the prisoners had escaped- which was the time his in¬ formant saw it than usual, as the jail had not been cleaned up that morning on account of the prisoners’ escape and the general excitement. If Sensation Gantt will search our columns lie will see that, we have said some very hard things about the jail ourselves, But we told the truth about the matter and Sensation Gantt did not. The prisoners are as well wa¬ tered and as well fed as any in t'’o state, but it is impossible to keep the ja.il iu a healthful condition on ac¬ count of its had ventilation, especially when there are a large n imber eon- fined. Sensation Gantt sent no re¬ porter here, neither vvei;e there seven negroes in jail. (Jet things straight about Franklin county and we will never kick. Royston Business Locals.

It was indeed a happy thought to print an entire novel in each number. Not a short novelette, but a long story such as you are used to get in booh form and pay from one dollar to one dollar and a half for. Not only thnt, but with each number you get an. abundance of other contributions , which gives you a good m igasine besides Jhe novel. It does not follow in old beaten paths,—which is an and easy pleasant task,—but is perpetually following discovering new ones, and them too. The ringing blows which have been struck on the gateway of popular favor , have resounded through¬ out the entire land, front and to day Pippincott’s Maga¬ zine stands in the rank of monthly publications, and is the most widely - read-and-talkei of publica¬ tion of its hind in the world.
