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. tior. 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. Pr. SETH N. JORDAN, Operating Surgeon and Physician, Broad St.* Columbus, Ga 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. W. “I want to thaok you,’’ writes a young man to B F Johnson <k Co, Richmond, Va, ‘for placing me in a position by which I am enabled to make money faster than I ever did before.’’ 1 his is but a sample extract of tbe many hundred of similar letters received by the above firm, bee their advertisement in another column. Personal Mention. Miss Berta Dozier, who spent la-t week in Macon taking in the state fair, returns ed home Monday afternoon. Dr E C Hood and family and Mr M D Hood and wife returned last week to their homes in Florida. Mr C I Hudson and family, who spent the summer in town, the guests of Judge W I Hudson, left Monday for their home in Lake Weir, Fla. All of our people who went to the Pied mont exposition and the state fair in Ma-* con are contented to remain at home for i a season.
