We are in receipt of the January
number of this sterling Agricultural
Journal. It has been changed in form,
being made more compact—magazine
size—and can be handled with greater
satisfaction and preserved in better
condition than the old form.
This issue numbers over seventy pag¬
es, and in quantity it is ahead of any
agricultural publication that comes to
our office while in quality it is the only
journal of its kind that is fully adapted
to the needs of our Southern farmers.
The very best Southern talent is em¬
ployed in its columns. The “Thoughts
for the Month,” and the “inquiry De¬
partment,” aie alone, worth the sub¬
scription price. The paper has pages
for special departments of farm work,
and they are full and interesting.
Without enumeration of tht excellen
cies of this magnificent journal, we ad -
vise each and every one not a su bscrib

HANCOCK
From the Iihmaelite of 21st inst.
Up to date there have been only six
whiskey licenses issued in Hancock for
the year 1885 »gai nst eleven last year.
The court house square has been ot
nam nted with a lot of shade trees.—
It will be a long time before the shade
comes.
During the vear 1881 the ordi nary of
Hancock issued 149 marriage licenses.
He issued 29 i n the month of -Decem¬
ber.
The election contest between J. T.
Andrews and Joe Riley, for Clerk of
Superior court, was begun on Saturday
morning last.
The man who is always croaking
“hard times” is generally endeavoring
by the same plea to avoid paying his
honest debts.
Dr T. J. Andrews was last week
elected County School Commissioner to
fill the vacancy occasioned by tha re¬
signation of Mr. W. H. Bass.
We verily believe that Hancock now
has more home-raised corn and meat on
band than she has had at any January
within the past twenty years.
Dr. F. A. Thomas has received his
money, over 85,400, from the Georgia
Railroad. The lawyers received some¬
thing over 82,100 of the amount.
Mrs. Charles Stanley died on the 10th
inst. leaving a husband and an infant
babe to mourn her loss. She *as, be¬
fore marriage, a Miss Brooks, of Wash¬
ington county.
Hancock will nominate every candi
date for public office by primaries in the
future. Everv one we have talked with
on the subject is decidedly in favor of
the move
Mr. James M. Harris, of our county,
lost 81.200 by the failure of the Bank
of Augusta. He lost 87,000 in the
failure of Roberts & Co., of same city
several weeks since,
Died.—Rev. James Roberts departed
this life on the 10th inst*, at the age of
qi years. He was a member of the
Baptist church 50 . -ars and a minister
Of ... the gospel , for . 30 years.—
Wiley Mosely, colored, died very sud
denly on Saturday night last, and on
Sunday acting coroner Jas. Rogers held
rrsrrrr
came to his death from dropsy of the
beart.
I We regret to learn that a little
daughter of Mr. Isaac Landers was
burned to death near Devereaur last
Sunday night, aad her mother while
endeavoring to extinguish the flames
was also severely burned. We have
not learned any of the particulars ex
cent that the dvess of tke little girl
caught while she was standing in front
ofithe tire. We did not learn her name
but she .was about twelve years of age.
This sad calamity will, we trust be h
warning to others to be more careful.
As a home remedy,to be kept at hand
for use in cases of sudden illness, and
for the prompt relief and cure of throat
and lung diseases,, Aver’s Cherry Pec¬
