Ftp"Athens and Gaincsvllc don’t
like it because Harmony Grove and

breaking yet. But the best of it all is
that Bill Goss sends down special

the full condition of the market, for

from being too clever and selling shoes

CIPThe late Legislature passed two
laws that will be of great interest to
our readers, both in reference to the

upon the subject. The other gave
each District in a county the right to
vote upon the subject, and say if they
desired to adopt the law within the
District bounds. Let us see which
will be the first pi the county
to adopt the law.

goods arc all new and fully up with
the times, and his store contains most
anything that you might expect to find
in a general store. Persons visiting
Harmony Grove, where goods are
proverbially sold low, should go and
see his stock and get his prices.

Fire.
On last Wednesday night, at about
ten o’clock, the gin bouse and machin
ery of Mr. Willie Appleby was dis
covered to he on fire, and the whole
concern was burnt up and is an entire
loss. The machinery was located at
his father’s, Mr. 11. C. Appleby, on the
Gainesville road, about six miles from
here. The plant consisted of a gin,
press and engine, and there was a saw
mill attached, which was also burned.
It i8 supposed that the fire originated
from the engine, although it was located
at least a hundred feet from the gin
house. There was five bale3 of seed
cotton and about four thousand bushels
of cotton seed burnt up. Nothing was
saved ; even the engine was ruined.
The property lias been in operation
several years, and was put up bv
Hugh and Willie Appleby sometime
ago. Hugh sold his interest to Mr.
Glenn, and Glenn and Appleby have
been running it the present season,
until about two weeks ago Mr.
Willie Appleb}' bought Mr. Glenn’s
interest and owned the whole concern
when it was burnt. The loss is a heavy
one to Mr. Appleby, who is a hard
working. Industrious young man. who,
owing to the loss of a leg several years
ago, is hardly able to contend with
the ups and downs of a farmer’s life.
As usual, there was no insurance on
the property, and Mr. Appleby has
lost the hard earnings of his life,
gained in an unequal struggle.

Maysville.
Mr. Editor :—Please make the ne
cessary corrections and publish for
the benefit of our little village—Mays
ville.
When you visit our little town,
Call on our friend G. W. Brown ;
His prices you will find quite low.
He sells them quick to purchase inoie.
In the next house is Albert Baugh,
His goods are the best you ever saw ;
His motto it is strictlj r cash,
That in the fall he will not smash.
Two nicer inen cannot be found
Than Carr & Bacon, of our town ;
They keep on hand the largest stock,
From a two-horse wagou to a clock.
In the blacksmith shop you'll find Gus,
With his hammer and iron lie makes a fuss;
He makes his old anvil sound,
And thinks he is the largest man in town.
Across the road, not very far,
Is Atkins, Dcadwyler and Tom Carr ;
Thev sell entirely by wholesale,
And ship your goods to you by rail.
And when you want something for padding
Just call on our friend Mr. I. A. Madden ;
His goods they say cannot be beaten,
He will sell you coffee already sweetened.
There is Alexander, but not the Great,
As good a doctor as is in the State ;
If you send for him he will always tell
Whether he thinks you'll die or get well.
There's Itylcc, with his big steam gin,
The way he moves things is a sin ;
He has a feeder, picker and condenser,
And sa}\s he saves one-third expenses.
Up town a little can be seen—
The bricks that’s made by Carr it Green;
They have just got up a very large kiln,
And Pilgrim is a moulding still.
Just a little below, upon the hill.
Is the Post Office, kept by Casey still;
He will wait on you whenever } r ou go,
In connection lie runs a little store.
There is Mr. South T’vc not forgot,
lie will repair your watches or your clock;
He is doing business, here of late.
In the shoe shop of Mr. Newton Bates.
As I will have to close the show,
I will introduce you to Tommie Moore;
You'll find him. if Pm not mistaken,
Head clerk of the firm of Carr it Bacon.

Shooting in Oconee County.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the County Court of Oconee county,
at Watkinsville, on Thursday even
ing, the 6th instant, Hon. W. W. Trice
and Mr. li. E. Thrasher had a difficul
ty. which grew out of the fact that Mr.
Thrasher appeared as a witness in a
case before the court against Price.
The police interfered and succeeded in
keeping the belligerents apart for the
time. Mr. Thrasher then went imme
diately home and armed himself with
a pistol, and when Trice passed he
stopped him and began firing at him.
Mr. Trice was fired at by Thrasher four
times, two shots taking effect, one ball
lodged in the left leg of Mr. Trice,
while the other entered the right leg,
both below the knees. Dr. Richardson
was promptly summoned and probed
for the ball in the left leg but failed to
find it at first, but extracted it in a sub
sequent search, the other ball went
through the leg. While the wounds arc
serious, yet they are not considered
necessarily fatal, and at last accounts
the patient was doing well.
Fair Notice I
All parties indebted to J. C. & W.
P. DeLaperriere are requested to come
forward and make settlements. We are
compelled to have money to meet our
own obligations. Those who do not
settle with us by November Ist, will
find their notes and accounts in an
officer’s hands for collection. We hope
all willsave us of that unpleasant duty,
and will come forward at om?e and

Notes from Harrisburg District.
Mr. Editor :—You will please give
us space in your valuable paper and
pardon us for a lew lines from our
j quiet and peaceable District.
I believe our people over here arc
! all engaged at this time. The most
; of us Are picking cotton, trying to get
;it out before cold weather. Cotton
Holds are white with the fleecy staple.
From the appearance of the times it
will soon be picked out—men, women
and children are all engaged. I be
lieve nearly all the little fellows that
are large enough to go to the field are
picking, and I heard of one that could
not get there, but after lie was carried
he did pretty good work. Cotton is
nearly all open in this section. Some
of our farmers are gathering corn, and
I believe there will be nearly enough
made in this District to do our people.
It is a great deal better than we once
thought it could be.
Some few arc sowing oats and many
others are wanting seed. It appears
that they are going to be scarce and
high.
Wheat sowing has not yet com
menced, except wild wheat. I heard
a young man say the other day that
he had sown a fine crop of it, and now
he is reaping. A few others arc sow
ing wild oats, they say, and probably
they will also soon be reaping their
reward. I don't know, Mr. Editor,
how this wild wheat and oat business
pays these days, but I am very sure
it did not pay any per cent, on the
capital stock a few years ago, when 1
was a boy, or a young man, as the
case may have been. I went into the
business with several others, as I
thought, and as they said, it would
pay. So we went into it with a vim.
and tried it snlllcicntly. Now, I tell
you, if there was an3 r money in it, we
never got it—it went somewhere else.
It reminds me of a cotton making
speculation, where a fellow buys his
guano, and then buys corn, fodder.
Hour, bacon, wheat bran, ripper plows,
harrows, cotton choppers and sulky
plows, and then, besides all mention
ed, he gets everything else he can
think of, and gets them all on time un
til fall, and then expects to pay for
them by raising cotton. Nearly all
the land is put in cotton, and every
hand is in a push from Jamiary to
December, and when settling time
comes lie can see that he had just
about as well have been sowing wild
oats, or carrying water from the creek
to the branch to try to make the branch
a creek.
We are making a fair crop of corn
and two-thirds of a crop of cotton.
The small grain crops were not the
best in the world this year, but a great
deal better than they are in some
parts.
Wo have, I suppose, as good a sec
tion of land as there is in the county,
and as good and quiet citizens, who
are trying to make an honest living
and be in peace with all mankind.
We are going in for wheat and oats
all we can over here. We think it
will be a good thing for us and the
balance of mankind to make all the
small grain possible next year, as it
is a splendid production for man and
beast to subsist upon.
Apple Valley is still improving. Mr.
Shirley has built two houses, Mr. W.
Matthews has put himself up a very
good one, and Mr. Richey is building.
Messrs. I). M. Nix & Bro. arc getting
in anew stock of goods, and Morgan
is happy when those pretty girls comes
to do their trading. James Taylor
now occupies and runs the shop with
out a partner. I think James would
like to form a partnership, but not of
the masculine gender. I don’t blame
James for that; he is about right. I
would have a partnership, but it should
not be a fellowship.
Mr. Bohannon, of the Grove, has
been spending several days in our
District, painting INIr. J. M. Wilhite’s
house, which adds to its appearance
considerably.
Miss Bonie Borders is visiting rela
tives in Harrisburg, and is as lively
as ever and appears to enjoy life.
llosc Bennett, John Potts and Coon
Wilhite are the fastest cotton pickers
I have heard of in our section.
Cotton gins in this community are
doing a good business. Mr. Swan
gin’s new gin is doing splendid work.
William Bennett is at home at this
time, having closed his school several
days ago.
There is a disease among* the hogs
in this section which is proving fatal
in many cases. It is thought to be
the cholera.
I was in Clarkesboro’ a short time
ago, and visited the old homestead of
the late F. ISI. Holliday, Esq., and
found Charlie, Alhon and Willie on
hand, running their steam gin right
along. They were well prepared for
the work —having a cleaner in opera
tion. to clean the storm cotton.
Well, people are getting so smart in
this day and time that they can make
nearly anything they want, and there
is anew wa}' and a better way now
for everything, I believe, except court
ing ; I don’t know as there has been
much change in that. Perhaps there
is a little more style and putting on
airs ; a littie more of Shakspeare, By
ron and Moore repeated, but what of
all that? Courting is courting.
A few days ago I saw a young man
riding along the road singing, in a low
tone, “I’m Nobody's Darling.” In a
little while after that I saw him seated
beside a beautiful young lady, and the
thought then came into my mind that
he is somebody’s darling now, or at
least he thinks so.
Dave and Dock Hancock passed
this way a few daj T s ago. I think they
were after a cotton cleaner, and were
fortunate enough to get one. I pre
dict that they will please their cus
tomers and win new ones besides, as
they are thorough business men.
Last first Sunday I was at Candler’s
Creek church, heard the Rev. W. F.
Stark preach a very good sermon, saw
many old friends of the District, and
after preaching, on my way home,
partook of the hospitalities of Mr.
HighGcld, and spent the evening very
pleasantly. Mr. Dick Hancock took
dinner with us, and Dick is one of
vour jolly old souls. Mr. Odell. John
