Dan Ridling, of Newtown District, is dead. EnPThe farmers say that the ground is too hard to plow. UiTE very body went to the circus that could get cff. good many of our citizens will go to the exposition. Roads in Santa Fe District arc not in first-class condition. ESFTn two weeks from now tiicrc will he but little colton in the fields. weather for the last two or three weeks has been anything but healthy. KdPMost of the railroad hands knocked off’ last Wednesday to go to the circus. EIN A doctor of this place says that babies arc getting as numerous as the persimmon crop. Price’s horse, Snider, won premiums at the Oconee County Fair amounting to S4OO. EjP Fayette Hunter is going to carry a drove of beeves to Atlanta to feed the exposition folks. Wednesday is the time to get in legal advertisements for the first Tuesday in December. t loaded with people on their way to Athens, made our town livel3 T all night long Wednesday night. ElPTho new contractors on the Branch mail route drive a handsome team and have reduced the fare. ford across Beech creek, near Jack Hewitt’s, is dangerous, and the county ought to bridge the crcck at that place. Clp’Mr. Sam Smith was caught in the belt of a gin at Nicholson the other day, but fortunately escaped in jury at the loss of his shirt. Uip’Mr. Clicely has nearly all of the material for the new Tallasee bridge on the ground, and it will not be long until the bridge will be up. ETWc are pained to state that Miss Mattie Williamson died on last Friday morning and was buried at this place on Saturday morning following. EdSpThose who claim to know say that there is a big crop of cotton made, and that there wili be no more high prices paid for the fleecy staple. ElFTlorse stealing is getting to be I a nuisance in this county. Since the loss of the Blalock horse we have heard of another over beyond Harmon} 7 Grove. tdF*Mr. William Matthews, of Apple Valle}\ has bought Mr. Vanzant’s farm near that place. Mr. Vanzant will move over on the other side of the county. Tuesday is sale da} 7 . You must come to town that day, call and see us and subscribe for the Herald, or pay 7 your subscription if you are already taking it. Jim Booth, of Santa Fe District, lias the finest lot of Shockley apples that we ever saw grow in Jack son county, llis trees are full and the ground is covered. IdjpWhile in Athens last week we learned from tlie warehouses that there was a great tendency a.mongst the farmers to store their cotton and wait for a rise in the market. ElpMarried, oil last Sunday, at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Robt Kinney, Esquire Pendergrass officiating, Mr. Rob’t Patrick and Miss Alice Kinney, all of this county. CdFMohn Wilhite has lost the most of his fatte. ing hogs in the last two weeks. They just take sick aid lie down and die. He says they appear to have some kind of swelling in the head. the advertisement of our new cash store. Brant proposes to do the fair thing. He is experienced in the business, and knows how to sell goods. Call and see him, and you will get bargains. Administrators of the estate of Mr. J. B. Lyle will sell, at public sale, on the second Tuesday (Bth) in November, all of the crops made on the place this year, mechanical tools, horses, hogs, cattle, &c. EU’EVs evidence of the fact that Mr. J. 11. Newton’s Champion Rotary Harrows are a success, we note the fact that a contract has been made by Mr. Newton to have one thousand of them manufactured in Athens. England has sold his farm near Apple Valley, containingohe*hun dred and twent} 7 acres, for twenty - seven hundred dollars, to a Mr. Harris. The latter gentleman has moved on to liis new purchase ancl will make it his home. IdPWe noted the fact that there was over three hundred bushels of corn posted for sale on D. M. Nix’s store door in Apple Vally, one day last*wcek, and we learn since that it has all been sold at one dollar per bushel. IdP'Our readers will please note the fact that we have in this issue some more good farming land for sale. The Moon place is counted one of the best jn the county, and is a bargain for some good farmer. The Matthews lands are good and well situated, and are first-class for small farms. A prominent merchant of Athens says that he 'is daily besieged by young men from the countr} 7 soliciting positions as salesmen, and they are willing to work at the mere price of board. We hope none of the applicants arc from this county, as wc have plenty of room for them at home. EAT Last Tuesday the contract for taking care of the pauper farm was let out to the lowest bidder; also, the contract for medical attendence. W. P. Boggs secured the job of looking after the paupers for the next two } 7 cars, at live dollars per month, and the job of doctoring them was taken by Dr. Brock, at five dollars and fifty cents per month. EfPWVc know of one family that would go out to the exposition but are kept away by the report that there is small-pox in Atlanta. That the rumor is false we have no doubt, and was started by someone evil disposed. Wc have talked with several who have been to the exposition, but no one intimated that there was small-pox in the city. ESiF'John Wilhite gave us a sample of some of the best late peaches this week that wc ever tasted. The trees were planted b} 7 the late J. M. Potts. The fruit is as large as the Chinese cling, and is of the same shape, but unlike any other late peaches ; is as sweet as sugar. It is the most desir able variety we know of, and no orchard can be counted complete until it possesses a tree of this variety. EdPNo Athens merchant is better known to our readers than W. A. Talmadgc, the jeweler, on College Avenue. He has made large and handsome additions to his stock for the fall and winter trade. In his store you will find many attractions at figures that will satisfy the leanest of pocket-books. If your watch, clock, pistol or gun is out of fix, you cannot put it in better hands; lie ranks amongst the best repairers in the land. E"SP Mr. Blackstock has passed the Hog Mountain road with his grading force, and you need not be surprised if we tell you that the grading on the Jefferson branch is over half done. We have not been able to gather any information in regard to what the con tractors are doing on the Jug Tavern line, but think we are safe in stating that they are moving right along. By next issue we think we will be able to report the commencement of the track laying at Gainesville. Everything is moving along lovely, and all that is needed now is a little time and fair weather. I\ JIIUIOICIAJI. “ The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” No doubt it seemeth hard for William and Gussie Gudin, who have lost four of their little ones in the last three months, to say, “ The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord,” yet we know that lie doeth all things well, and though the}' cannot sec now why they should be bereaved of their littlu ones, they may realize, in days to come, why they M ere taken so early to their home in Heaven. This should be a solemn admonition to parents to teach their children to trust in the Saviour, who is both able and willing to save them from eternal woe. There are many grown up people who can say, ” I never heard my parents pray.” What a solemn thought! Parents of these departed little ones, you now have four strong ties to bind you to llcaven. and may you, with the little boy that is left, reach that happy home, is the prayer of a friend.

Hugh Appleby is not of a lazy turn of mind by any means, and while lie is waitbig for something to turn up, lie decided to make an honest penny by blacking shoes. lie has borrowed a brush from Dick Gholston and got a box of blacking on a credit and gone to work. Chas. Stern & Cos. When you want to buy an article, always go to a merchant that makes a specialty of the particular line of goods that you want is a good rule to follow. The reasons for this are obvious, and it is useless for us to give them to you in detail. There are but few stores of this character in the city of Athens, one of which, Chas. Stern & Cos., we wish to call your particular attention. This firm has been dealing in clothing and gents furnishing goods for several years past, and it is the only store of its kind in the classic city. And Chas. Stern, the senior of the firm, was one of the first who conceived the idea that a store that would adopt a specialty to the exclusion of all other lines of merchan dize would prosper in Athens. Cloth ing, for all sizes, ages, complexions, and prices to suit all, and gents furnish ing goods in endless variety and quality, comprises the stock, and they have flourished despite the fact that their enemies said that it could not succeed. By this plan they are enabled to do better for their customers than any other store that keeps clothing in the city. They buy in much larger quantities, give their entire time and capital to the business, study the wants of their customers and strive to please them. It is needless for you to leave their store without being suited ; they can do it, both in price and quality of the goods you buy. You should not hesitate a moment about calling on them if you want clothing; you can get what you want, and, what is better than all, their goods are just what they represent them to be. You can place perfect reliance in what they tell you, for we know whereof we speak. Notice to Stockholders. Last Call, Positively! All persons who have subscribed for stock in the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern Railroad Company are hereby notified that whatever amount of their stock which remains unpaid must be paid on or before the 10th day of November, or suit will be com menced against them for the same im mediately. The whole of the stock has been due since the Ist of Septem ber, and all have been called on and the money demanded by the author ized agents of the Company. The necessities of the Company demand that every one must pay up at once. J. E. Randolph, H. W. Bell, F. L. Pendergrass, W. C. Howard,. Directors in charge.

Bernard was made superintendent instead of acting su perintendent. The reports of the president, Col. Foreacre, and of the auditor and su perintendent, Mr. 11. R. Bernard, show the road in excellent condition.

The grading to that place is completed, the cross ties are all ready and will be laid at once, the iron is on the route from New Jersey and will arrive in two weeks, when it will be laid as rapidly as possible. The contract for the grading from Clarkesville to Tallulah Falls (14 miles) has just been let and work will begin next week.

Please do not delay. Jno. W. Glenn. Motes From Marcus. Corn shuckings in order. Plenty of cotton pickers. Just a little turnip soup. The boys caught that little ’possum, Oat fields are looking green. Just beginning to sow wheat. Hogs are dying up in this section. They just get sick, lie down and die in a few minutes. What is good for . tlienß Mr. Editor?, Corn is turning out poorly. Doek Elrod has finished the church , at White Plains, and it lias been re ceived. They are. keeping up a meeting iu , the Reynolds’ neighborhood. This i speaks well for that community. I have often heard of knocking tfee . black out of things, but if you will go , to Fleeman & Venable’s gin yo.u will; see the dirt knocked out. Mr. T. A. Panel has just finished; the repairing of Mr. J. G. Justice’s . milis. Up has built one of the best waterwheels I ever saw. It has an iron shaft, which makes it durable. and makes the wheel work better. lie has built one of the most substantial husk frames in the county, and put , in new gearing throughout the milky So that now it will take its placo amoßgst|tho first-class mills in the . county. Mr. DeLay is the miller, and is ready to do your grinding at- any.- time, and will not forget the toll either. Your correspondent, “ R. W.,” from, DcLaperrier’s Store, is mistaken about cotton being cut short. Since the. crop has fully matured, they think, they will get an average crop. Wesley Whitehead lias bought- Iliram Allen’s farm, and will move to , it. And Iliram Allen has bought out the widow Roberts. We have heard .of an aged widow - lady in Hall county. Her name is Mrs. Elizabeth Ilowell, and she was ; one hundred year3 old last May, and is in goo 1 health now. What has become of “ Ilocsier” and > “ Cousin John” ? We would like to, hear from that section of the county. I guess they are making good, crop3, and have not the timetp write. E. Pleasant Reflections. A correspondent to the Athens. Daily Banner, writing from this place, concludes his letter with the following gloritf.eation : “ Amidst the general gloom in re-\ ference to, short crops, we have this pleasant reflection, that we have no provision or guano bills to pa}’, plenty of corn and wheat to live on, a fine lot of hogs rolling fat, an orchard full of apple?, plenty of potatoes, a large flock of sheep and the finest cows in the countrjq from which we get an abundant supply of good butter and “oceans” of milk for our hogs. I furnish my family with five excellent weekly papers, and a splendid libra ry of books to read, and they stay at home at night, and read after their day’s work is done, and I have no anxiety about their getting into bad company.” Everybody G using i.T ovn’s lion Bitters, and everybody is astonished at its many marvelous cures where ail others have failed.
