ting Dr. \Y. F. Blasingame is evidently dental get¬
himself well article, provided with furniture,
apparatus, one in office
being a dentists chair, the cost of which
is said to have been $116. It might per¬
haps, be regarded as some sort of a lux¬

upon, while enjoying the various comfor¬
table positions afforded by such a chair.
We were under the impression that
Mr. Tipp Marshall was jesting for a while,
but he still insists that the cyclone two or
three weeks ago blew his wash pot wrong
side out, and that he has not yet been
able to j>et it back in proper shape. The
only inconvenience there is in using it is
that the legs of the pot being on the in¬
side, they are somewhat in the way, and
he is troubled a little about hunting up
brick bats to use as substitutes for them.
As a Knoxville young man wa3 riding
from the depot with a young lady or two
a few nights ago, aud thinking to create
a favorable impression of the tow r u, he
inquired of the’ hackman why the elec¬
tric lights were not burning, and re¬
ceived as a reply that the rain had put
them out. lie decided to try once more
and asked the driver why the dummy
was dummy’s not running that night, ‘•The
sick,” was the reply, and de¬
spairing the of any assistance toward boorn-
mg town, he dropped the subject.

Robley, Ga., May 3d, ’90.
The most of our young people attended
the singing near Musella crowd in last attendance, Sunday.
There was a large the passed
and from all appearances time
very pleasantly to all.
Mrs. C. C. Graddick has been confined
to her room for several weeks with sick¬
ness, but we hope to see her soon re¬
stored to perfect health.
A good rain would prove a blessing to
the country and gladden the hearts of
our people at this time. If the dry
weather continues much longer it will
prove disastrious to the farming interest,
especially to the grain crop.
Rev. W. K. Methvin, of Irwinton,
Ga., w as in these parts a few days past,
with a lot of Bibles and other religious
books, which he was selling very cheaply,
and we refer all to him who wish to pur¬
chase nice books at prices to suit the
times.
The cotton seed planted on the red
lands in this section are still in the
ground awaiting a shower to bring them
up. On the gray lands a sufficient stand
las come up to enable some of the
rarmers to begin chopping, but little
rrogress has been made in that line as
yet.
On all sides can be heard a clamor for
m< re labor, aud one would infer that
the farmers were trying to cultivate more
than usual, or that the laborers
were emigrating, probably both com¬
bined, has caused the great cry for labor.
Numbers of the colored race in this sec¬
tion are now spending most of their time
on the creeks fishiug, when their labor
could be utilized to great advantage on
the farms, but many of them prefer to
spend their time in idleness, rather than
be rewarded for their toil in the fields of
industry.
Air. W. R. Parham left yesterday for
Houston county, to spend several days
with relatives. Pnow Boy.

remodeled and repaired, and when the
work is finished the building wil! be con¬
verted into three stores. This store house
is one of the old land marks, as we sup¬
pose it might be called; there is not an
individual in the community, so far as
we have heard, who can tell how long the
building has been in use, or by whom it
was erected. Some time ago, Mr. R. J.
LeSeuer noticed among a lot of old books
and papers, a letter that had been re¬
ceived by E. M. Amos, sr., from Hon.
Hyram Warner, who subsequently Georgia. became
judge of the Supreme Court of
The letter was received by Mr. Amos and
stowed away among his papers in the year
1834. We*have not learned how long
Mr. Amos had used the building prior to
this date, or who occupied it before him.
Who can tell anything about the age of
the old store on the corner ?
