He has innumerable testimonials of its efficiency, and it is everything that is claimed for it. You should secure yourself against fire and make your old roof last twice as long by apply ing a coat of this paint. Ftp"Athens and Gaincsvllc don’t like it because Harmony Grove and Maysville pay more money for cotton than they do. But little odds does it make to the merchants of these places : we suppose they can hold up at it; we have not heard of any of them breaking yet. But the best of it all is that Bill Goss sends down special reports from Harmony Grove, giving the full condition of the market, for the Daily Banner to publish. IdTYou can find lamps of all kinds and sizes at the Drug Store. OF’Thc Athens Banner says: “Messrs. Baldwin & Burnett are pre pared for the attacks of the army of beggars now, and have put up this sign: ‘Our hours for listening to solicitors for church subscriptions arc from 10 to 1, to book agents from 1 to 3, to drummers and tramps from 3to 7. Wc attend to onr own busi ness at night.” No one need hesit ate to call on these gentlemen. They will always get a hearing.’ This all comes from being too clever and selling shoes at such low p,rices. CIPThe late Legislature passed two laws that will be of great interest to our readers, both in reference to the stock law. The first was an amend ment of the old law so as to bold elec tions in each county as often as desired 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. Ftp"A handsome lot of lamps and fixtures for sale at Pendergrass’ f)rug Store.

He has not been actively engaged in business for several years past, Lut he could not remain away from his first love, so he has embarked again in merchandizing, at his store in Harmony Grove. Being an old hand at the business and possessing ample capital, he lias with great care selected one of the largest and best assorted stock of goods ever brought to Harmony Grove. Ills 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. Now, as in the past, O’Farrell Bros. & Cos. are prepared to offer special in ducements in the grocery line. Our coffees are of the best, sugar of the finest quality, teas unsurpassed in grade or price, whilst our fancy grocery department is complete in every detail.

Bill Davenport, of Oglethorpe, was up one day this week. Mrs. Frank Pendergrass has return ed from her trip to Oglethorpe county. Miss Mat Williamson, daughter of Mr. J. P. Williamson, Sr., is seriously ill. Dr. Pendergrass went over to Ilo raer one day this week and says he found the town deserted. Mr. Hugh Appleby and family have moved to town, and occupy Jack Gillcland’s new house. Seal* .Stark is a candidate for Jus tice of the Peace for this District, lie will make an active campaign. For the sake of those who are in terested, wc will announce that Col, P. G. Thompson still lingers iu single blessedness. Frank Pendergrass is so considerate when he samples a bale of cotton that he don’t pull out more than enough to fill a hollow tooth. The Atlanta Post saj'9 that Gen. Gartrell has a larger number of clients in the United States Court than any lawyer of the Georgia bar. Rev. A. J. Kelly made a narrow escape from a serious accident last Mondaj\ In looking after the ma chinery at his gin. lie let one of his hands got caught and got it severely mashed. Dame Rumor says that she is certain that a young lad}' up on Wash ington street intends to marry in a short time, and even goes into par ticulars on the subject. Well, we shall see. Col. Thompson is down at Watkins villc this week, taking in the Oconee Fair. The Col. was induced to make the trip from the account that was given him of the number of charming young ladies who attended the Fair. Mr. Lem Howard thinks of going up into North Georgia to find the Captain of his company in the Mexi can war. “Uncle Lem” is right after a pension from the United States, and talks about getting married when he gets it. That happy face, tinctured with a consciousness of newly acquired im portance. that Jack Gilleland has been exhibiting around for the last few days can only be attributed to the fact that there has been an important ar rival at his house. Newt. Twitty has located in Gaines ville and is clerking for C. W. Dupre. When you go up, call on Newt., and you will find him ready to show j’ou the handsomest stock of goods in Gainesville, and lie will sell them to you at figures that will please you. He wants you to come and see him. 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. Teacher’s Institute. TFIE STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER WILL ATTEND. As announced, the Institute will continue through Friday and Saturday of this week. lion. G. J. Orr, State School Com missioner, will be present and deliver an address before the Institute and public on Saturday, about 11 A. M. All teachers and the public gene rally arc invited to attend the entire session, but especially on Saturday. For special reasons we urge a large attendance. John W. Glenn, Pres’t. Oct. 13th. 1881. Married. The, Gainesville Eagle of last week gives thg fallowing handsome notice of our friend Madden’s marriage : On the evening of the 4th inst., at the residence o/th.e bride’s father, Mr. L A. Madden, of Mayesville, Ga., to Miss Janie Boone, of this city. The affair a private, one; but,' with it, our city lojses one of its most charming and acco,mpj ; shed young ladies. We wish the young couple all the felicity that heaven is capable of bestowing. “ The heart, like a tendril accustomed to cling; Let it go where it will, cannot flourish alone, But will lean to the nearest and loveliest thing It can twine with itself, and make closely its own.” O’Farrell Bros. & Cos. is the head quarters for Tobacco and Cigars. We unhesitatingly assert that we sell more Tobaccos than any other house in Athens. The reason is obvious— because we give the finest qualities for the least money. _____ Harmony Grove.

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.

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.

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 settle. Most respectfully, J. C. & W. T. DeLaperkiere. 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 O.

Mayesville was crowded with goods a few da3'S ago. I saw that the mer chants in that place had plenty of flour and bacon, notwithstanding some of our people had nearly given up the ghost, thinking that all such ar ticles were consumed. Harmony Grove is a live business place, and the merchants have nearly everything that is needed, and will sell at a moment’s warping. The Grove is getting to be a splendid cot ton market, and a great-deal is sold in that village.

Judge Bowers of Franklin county, was then requested to address the audience upon the sudject of the proposed routes fer the railroad from Danielsville to some of the points be fore mentioned. He made a most en couraging and logical speech and sug gested the road from Carncsville to Athens, but was ready to help build one any way. He is the greatest sue cess wc have ever met, as a humorist and worker. lie says if the people will do what they can he will guaran. tee the balance, to build the road. Mr. Goss, of Jackson county, was called, but declined to make a speech, but wished us success. Mr. J. Bee Kbcr hart was then called and made a cheer ing speech, then made a motion to ap point a committee to collect funds to defray expenses of advertising hereto fore. Messrs. J. J. Strickland, G. T. Johnson and E. P. Eberhart were ap pointed. Mr. Bowers then moved the appointment of a committee to ascer tain the desired route. The ohiraman appointed the following committee: in the Fork district, J. lice Eberhart, Esq., Paoli, David P. Moon, Mill Dis trict, R. M. Meroney, Harrison, F. B. Scarborough, Pocotaligo, J. C.
