To-day we publish the advertisement of the North Georgia Stock and Fair Association, which will occupy the 21st to the 26th of October, inclusive, in their great exhibition. The Association is offering unprecidentedly large pre miumsfor every department, and to carry off one of them will be a proud triumph to the competitor. Everything has been done to make this term of the Annual Fair a success, and we feel fully satis fled that a failure in the exhibition of agriculture, art or science cannot fail, Besides the exhibition, ’ there will be every means at hand for the arumusement and pleasure of visitors which wiS not occur again for a long time.

Franklin Bros., corner of Jackson and Reynolds streets, who solicits consignments of cotton from our farmers. In calling attention to the card of these gentlemen, we consider them too well know to need any great recommendation from us. They are already known to our cotton men as ^aWe and prompt, and fully c d with their business, and arc sure to ^ up with every pulsatkm of the cot t0 ” !!larket duriDg tb ° aUd W ® deem it only necessary to call them to the mind of our planters to secure for t]ieia '.tirge consignments from our section.

The fact is, they are intelligent, reliable business men, who have won the confidence of their patrons bv tbe most energetic measures m their behalf, and a rigid rule of integrity in ail their transactions. We bespeak for them, as old and tried friends of our farmers and cotton buy ers. a liberal share of consignments, and we have not the slightest hesitancy m saying you will get the top fraction for tbe cotton entrusted to their care.

Mr> Lintol) Stephens has lately had the mineral spring on his place (the existence of which lias been known for several years,) nicely cleared out, ml hflS 7 traced ‘ the vein to ' tlie rocks ’ from which it flows , free and , limpid. . Me have not had an opportunitv to visit this spring, but we are informed (hat il is ji'ierals strongly impregnated with several , uiuiuai., n a., howe-er nowe c.i, no .io -m-ilvsis analysts has nas been made of the waters, we cannot say postively what these minerals are. Aha Stephens and Mr. Darracott both, we understand, design improving their mineral springs, and they will doubtless bo ready to accomodate visitors next summer. IVliiio we are fully aware that there are those ready to ridicule any enterprise and kill it off as quickly as possible, these springs, if improved and the enterprise pushed, offer ml opportu nity to make Orawfordville a pleasant and popular summer resort. We hope these gentlemen will fully carry out their designs, and if possible revivify the old carcass, and give us a live town. Mr. Stephens’ condition. We , lt take . , pleasure , in stating for the information of Mr. Stephens’ numerous fiienda abroad that his recent very threatening attack of hemorrhage has passed off without any serious con sequences as yet. 11 came on last Friday morning, and at first was of a threaten ing character, but by the use of strong styptics under the administration of Dr. Shields of our village it was arrested, Dr. Steiner, of Augusta, was telegraph e d for, and reached here the next day. In consultation with Dr. Shields the treatment was continued. The hemor rha ^ e " as final, T checked, and Mr. Stephens for the last few days has been up and as well as usual. Under the injunction of his physicians he has felt constrained to call in his outstanding appointments to speak. lie still how ever intends to address the people of Columbia, Warren, Glascock, Washing ton and Johnson counties : and also the people of Jefferson county at Steltoville, later in the season. w{ f ( ‘ 0 n ^? f th t.q T’ M ( tw' ,Hon' F^Il’c *' * ^ n ‘ Robert '' ’ ' ' * ’ 7° H y Wj , kfs .
