A Caution.
Caution is the parent of safety, and
as the time for putting up stoves and
building fires is at hand, we would cau¬
tion our people to see to it, and see to it
themselves, that stove-pipes, chimneys,
etc., are well cleaned and free from soot,
cobwebs and all inflammable matter as
a precaution against burnings. Foul
stove-pipes have caused more disastrous
fires than all other causes put together,
and it is common sense to attend care
fully to these things. Two fires have
already occurred this early in the sea¬
son ; one in Bainbridge, burning up
several buildings in the business part of
the town, and one in Savannah, destroy¬
ing thousands of dollar's worth of prop¬
erty. A little carelessness may cost
dearly, and lay your home in ashes,
when it will be too late to bewail an acci¬
dent that could haye been prevented.
Personal Mention*
Judge Jacob Rocker, of the (502d Dis¬
trict, G. M., Taliaferro county, was in
town a few days ago, and graced our
sanctum with his amiable counteance.
The Judge informs ns that he holds his
him from the summer's heat, and when
winter comes the leaves drop off, and
let in “the sunshine and the rain. ” We
suggest that Judge Rocker have his oak
morticed, and a drawer inserted in
which to keep hii court papers.

Mr. Charles Bergstrom comes to the

Mr. Bergstrom has on hand and is re¬

if it causes a war between Russia and
England.
His dress goods are brilliant and fine,
Ilis staples are solid and souud,

Home Made.
Dr. II. S. Smith showed us at the
drug store a bird cage of his own make,
which was something new in that line,
and we believe the prettiest cage we
ever saw. Too industrious to be idle,
the Doctor purchased a foot-power scroll
saw, and has been occupying his leisure
and utilizing his empty drug boxes in
the manufacture of brackets and various
wall ornaments, and has Anally capt the
climax by the manufacture of this pretty
cage, which tlte Doctor sold for ten dol-

A Move in the Bight Direction.
Our Board of County Commissioners
have directed that tlie Road Commis¬
sioners in the several districts of tlie
county require the overseers of roads to
put tlieir respective roads in better condi¬
tion. To clear them out and work them
as the law directs, and to cut out all over¬
hanging branches of trees, that in any
way obstruct the passage of vehicles.
This is eminently proper in the Honora¬
ble Board. Any one who has occasion
to travel over our county roads, can not
fail to see that the common manner of
working them is a mere aham, aud in
many instances the roads are in worse
condition after than before working.

Inexcusable Inaccuracy.
Mu. Editor :—In the Sharon depart

September, appeared the following item :
“A few days since a llevy of young
ladies, residence standing of on the front'piuzza of the
one of our citizens, espied,
rising tlie brow of the hill, wlmt they
supposed to be a countryman bringing in

Now, it occurs to me that those fair
young ladies are not fully up with the
times. If the said “Hon. Tax Collector”
had been besieged by guano agents,
merchants, landlords and doctor.*, Ihcii
mistake might have boon a more natural
one, but as shell was not the ease, I
