their full allowance of reading matter.
—Judge Stewart, one of our most
popular merchants, is running around
these summer mornings with an ovei
coat on, as if he had a June chill. He
says “it’s cold.”
_Dee Printup,who lias had consider¬
able experience in farming, says it
strains a young man more tu have a
hundred and forty pound girl to sit
on his knee fifteen minutes than it
does to gin and pack cotton all day.
V, e guess Dee is willing lo be strained
in that way.
—Mr. R. B. Askew, late assistant
post niaf ter at Baltimore, said some
time ago: “Having had occasion to
try Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, I unhesita¬
tingly pronounce it the best remedy I
have ever used.
—Last Tuesday morning came in

shift, Bamboozle, Ga.; Thos. Murphey,
Wilkes county. Several failed to regis
ter.
—Gus Williams, the genial traveling
salesman, tor Messrs. John Meichant
& Co., Atlanta. Ga., was in town Wed
nesday. Gus is a noble fellow and we
have no hesitancy in saying that he is
one of the t*st .salesmen on the, road.
He richly deserves the large patronage
he receives from the merchants of
Crawfordville and elsewhere.
-intaegood Tn Dio oood old'ime o d me^th^ that we hear
about, when ()n the
ground and let et his or her feet hang
over, and drank their soup from the
family skillet,cutlery and various other
articles sold by merchants now were
then of no account. But in these days
of civilization the old time customs
have to “take a back seat.’” Looking
on the local page of this issue the read¬
er will notice the new advertisement
of Messrs. Holden & Farmer, a rehable
firm just commenced business in Craw
fordville- that furnishes good and cheap
articles-such as fancy groceries, plan¬
tation supplies, hardware, cutlery, to¬
bacco, cigars, snuffs, <kc. But nothing
more need be said. Read their adver¬
tisement and you will be convinced that
it will be to your interest to call on
them if you should need anything in
their line.

“Mechanical \Yjailer.”
The “Mechanical Wonder” inven¬
ted by Mr. J. T. Jeter, of Rome, Ga..
was exhibited here yesterday and was
pronounced by all who saw it the most
wonderful piece of mechanism they had
ever seen. It faithfully represents
every day scenes in every day life—such
as washing, milking the cow, shoe¬
making, shoeing horses, blacksmith,
performing on the piano, trains of cars
in full motion, boats, bicicle riding,
sawing wood, minstrel troup, perform¬
ing on the violin, ilshiug.and all tlio va¬
rious trades and professionsof life. It is
without doubt the greatest mechanical
wonder of the age, and must be seen to
be appreciated. The “Little World”
exhibited at the Cotton Exposition in
Atlanta in 1881 was a most novel cu¬
riosity, but did not show half so much
as this great “Automatic Wonder.
Men, women and children should not
fail to visit tiiis great Georgia inven¬
tion wherever it may be exhibited.
On Sabbath last many persons from
our village went up to Antioch, Ogle¬
thorpe county, to attend the Georgia
Baptist Association which met at that
place. They report t he crowd gathered
there on the occasion as very large, the
order excellent, and the entertainment
afforded by the good people of the number vi¬
cinity as unexceptionable. A
of the very ablest men of the denomina¬
tion in the State were there Besides
the Venerable chancellor of the State
University, Dr. P. II. MelT. whose
health permitted him to preside over
the Association, there were present,
Dr. J. H. DeVotie, Dr. S G. Hillyer,
Dr. VV. II. McIntosh, Dr. J. G. Ryals,
Di. M. B. Wharton, Dr. W. L. Kilpat¬
rick, Dr. G. A. Nonnallv, Dr. J. II.
Kilpatrick, Dr. J. G. Gibson, Rev. A.
B. Campbell. Rev. F. H. Ivey and
many others, able, but ot ■ less note.
The preaching on Sabbath, and all the
days was of the highest style. Tile ses¬
sions of the Association were marked
by great harmony and unusual enthu¬
siasm in the great enterprises in which
they are engaged. The next session of
this body will 1 e at Washington, and
in connection therewith will he the cel¬
ebration of iis hundredth anniversary.
Nothing will bs left undone to render
It a grand occasion.
The Pioneer Machine Works,
at Covington, Ga.. manufactures the
only good two horse r Her for wheat

also selling out a large lot of New Rem¬

gold—his all. He was tracked, pursued
and captured by an enemy. He was
allured and poisoned, and finally the
doctors gobbled his money without any
relief. Ilis enemy was a bad case of
Blood Poison,wnich stubbornly resisted
everything. He was urged to try B.B.

with good success for loss of appetite.”
