A failure to receive paper that has
been out since Oct. 24 th, forces us to
present the Journal this week in a
reduced form, with highly colored
covers. Much matter of interest is
crowded out but will appear next
week.
That Stalk of Cotton.
We saw a stalk of cotton in the Put¬
nam exhibit at the Piedmont six fee* high
with 280 bolls on it. This showB what
Georgia soil will do under high oultiva.

The First Tuesday.
The first day of November was cloud
less and beautiful. As it was legal sale
day our streets were enliveued by Aum*
hers from the country and adjacent towns
who ceme on business.
Public Sales.
A large amount of land changed bands
ere Tuesday and the sales were very sat
i.« fao’ory. It indicates an advance in real
state, and Rhows the county to be in a
prosperous oonditiofi.
Will Change Hands.
Tbe hotel will change proprietors aboot
tbflr^t of December. Mr M Wolfson
and wife, who have been in charge during
fhe past three years, 7:ill go to Columbus
to live and Mr S R Murphey will take
charge. He bought the property a few
mouth since from Dr T J Brooks.
Please Take Notice.
Rev W M Hayes, Presiding Elder of
. 'olnmbuR district,will be in Hamilton on
Monday, l4tb, and desires to meet all the
ificial members of the Methodist ohnroh
on that day. He will preach in the even
i g, and if the weather is favorable we
bespeak for him a large congregation.
Ho was prevented from filling his ap¬
pointment here last week by the very in¬
clement weather.
Relief of Collector Hunt.
A misapprehension has gone abroad as
to the purport of the bill introduced into
sue legislature by Representative Wil¬
lis rus for the relief of Mr S J Hunt, Tax
Collector. An execution was issued
ainst him for the amount he was short
in his returns and this amount he has paid.
The hill was to relieve him of the 20 per
•et t forfeit. No oolleotor bas ever yet
>>een required to pay this forfeit and the
bill bas many precedents.

Good Farming.
Notwithstanding the bad crop year two
young farmers of Hamilton have succeed¬
ed remarkably well in making good crops.
Mr Mack Parker has cultivated a two
horse farm and will make besides a good
corn crop, twenty-two bales of cotton.
Mr James Pitts has gathered from a
one horse farm nine bales and will get
about half a bale more. His corn crop
will be jaore than enough to run him an¬
other year.
Neither one of these young men/ grew
as fine a crop as they planted fo” or as
good by one tbird as was promised them
in July, but 1 oth have done well never¬
theless. Many boys in towns and cities
have worked harder to earn a $500 salary
and been forced to spend all they have
earned to beep up an appearance that
would insure their positions The man
who can work and is not afraid of it and
who has brain can make farming pay.
Cotton Shipments.
The shipments’of cotton from Hamil
ton for September were the largest ever
made for the corresponding month of any
year. For October there has been a
slight falling off so that the d’fference
between the two first two months of this
season and those of last season is just 33
bales in favor of the letter. The ship¬
ments for September were 345 to Savan
nah and 87 to Columbus, a total of 432
against 292 for the corresponding month
of ’86. For October tie shipments were
538 to Savannah and 101 to Columbus, a
total of 639 against 8l2 for the corres¬
ponding month of season. Considering
the one-fourth to one third, the Georgia
Midland doesn’t seem to be hurting Ham
ilton very much.
Mountain Hill District.
A petition was presented to the County
Commissioners court last Tuesday asking
for a new militia district, to be known as
Mountain Hill district. The lines of the
proposed district are as follows : Begio>
ning at a shoal on the Mulberry creek,
known as Moore’s shoal and running north
to Smyrna church, thence west to Mrs
Blackmon’s, thence south to Duke's shoal
on the Mulberry creek and theooe up the
Mulberry to the starting point The pro
posed district will thus be composed of
the western part of Whitakers and the
•astern p»rt of Blue Spring, and the
southern part of the Upper 19th districts.
At tbe suggestion of the court the peti¬
tion was withdrawn for the purpose of
more clearly designating the boundary
lines before the commissioners are ap¬
pointed to report upon the matter.
Dots From Don.
Squ re Nunnelee, who was a good col-,
©red citizen of this district, died Sunday,
October 28,
On the 20th, ult.,Mr Charley Cummings
and Miss Ida Alexander were happily uni¬
ted in the holy bonds of matrimony at
the residence of Esq. Nunnelee.
The young folks had a gay time at the
residence of Mr Juck Walker Wednesday
night Oct 26. The occasion was a candy
pulling. Also at Mr A Die Biggers on
Friday night, 28th, at a pound party.
They enjoyed themselves very much.
