Stockton has a sweet potato that weighs thirteen pounds, and takes a string two feet and ten inches long to reach around it. Our latest news is that Mr. Stockton has not dug his potatoes yet, and it is more than probable that lie will strike some more big ones. CdT’Jim Randolph has four now houses on hand to build besides the Long house, which is almost finished. Hugh Appleby is building one, and the one Mr. A. T.

Who says that old Jefferson is not moving, even if it did take several jack screws to start her. week Mr. Harvey Johnson brings up the boss potato. It weighs six pounds. There was two more in the hill of the same size, and a peek of little ones. The beauty about these potatoes is that they were planted in the mud, and were made without work ing, and their size is no drawback about cooking them, as they split open as soon as they mature. iFWo call the attention of our readers to the card of Mr. I). M. Wilson, to be found in this issue. Mr. Wilson hails from Athens, where lie has been doing business for several years past, lie lias a full line of first class machinery to make any kind of a covering for the feet, from a pair of baby slippers to the heaviest ditching boots. Being skilled at the business, and having competent workmen, he is prepared to do the best of work at prices that defy competition. Should you desire anything in his lino, it will pay you to consult his prices before buying. S tPWhcn people begin to sneer and talk lightly of the benefits that will be derived from our railroad, we can refer them to Conyers, in Rockdale county. In twelve years it has in creased its population from three to sixteen hundred inhabitants, and is one of the best cotton markets in the State. It is only a station on a rail road controlled by one of the largest monopolies in the world, and has every disadvantage, in the waj r of freights, to contend with. Don’t talk about our not coming out at the head of the procession. We tell you that Jefferson's dead days are past. HPLadies and gentlemen, owners of horses and cattle, we would most respectfully invite your attention to the advertisement of Jacobs' Horse and Cattle Powders. You may think that you have tried powders that were good and well adapted for their pur pose, but. you must try Jacobs’ just to (ind out how much better they are than the ordinary. The most of stock powders are put up by people who don't know a horse from a mule and a cow from a gout. Jacobs' are prepared and the formula is the result of years of experience and experiment of a person who had the necessary medical knowledge as well as practi cal experience with stock. We do I not mean, and do not wisli you to un derstand that we are talking about the Jacobs who tended Mr. Laban’s stock with so much success to him self, but our Mr. Jacobs is one of a later generation of the same family. The preparation, however, is not alto i gether of his invention, but lie is the proprietor of it, and deserves success for introducing into common use so useful and sale a remedy. The People’s Verdict. We, the undersigned, citizens of Gainesville, have tested McDonalc.’o Fire and Water Proof Cement Paint, and take pleasure in saying that it is strickly fire and water proof; that it is a thorough protection to tin and iron roofs from rust; that it will preserve a shingle roof so as to make it last three times as long as ordinary ; that it is worth three times as much as it costs: F.

Some more of the stockholders at this end of the line will be sued. Mr. Blackstoek will move his camp on this side of the river in the next ten or fifteen days. The President had everything in readiness to commence track laying last Monday morning. The depot here will be located so that it will he no trouble to continue the road on to Athens. It is thought that Gainesville will not now object to running the road on to Athens via this place. Capt. Sage is working thirty-five hands on the Laura City line, and is moving up with his work. They keep Capt. Collier busy laying off new towns, locating depots, and fixing work for the grading force. The engine has arrived at Gaines ville, and it is a daisy. By this time it has started on its trip to Jefferson. Money is being paid in by the stock holders in a manner that encourages those who have the enterprise at heart. Capt. Collier has located the depot at Jug Tavern. We suppose Wiley Bush will now sell some more lots in Laura City. Capt. Collier, Engineer of the Gainesville, Jefferson & Southern RaiDoad, arrived yesterday evening in our town, and will locate our depot before he leaves. We hope that ! e will lay off some work for Mr. Black stock to do at this end of the line be foae he leaves. We learn that there are a good many who think that the road will stop at the river. To those who are mean enough to wish it to stop there, we will just say that your devilish desires will not be gratified. Our people have brought it to the river, and they will get it across or go under it. The grading cannot stop, and must go ahead. Notice to Debtors.

Liberal Advances on Cotton, ATHENS, GEORGIA. $40.00 Easily Made. Orr & Hunter, the wide-awake gu ano dealers of Athens, offered last Spring two gold premiums, as follows : For the best bale of cotton made by the use of their Fertilizers, a premium of $25.00 in gold ; for second best, $15.00 in gold. On tlie Bth inst. they’ called in Messrs. J. li. Rucker and S. B. Scott, two prominent cotton buyers, and asked them to look through the samples and award premiums. They awarded first prize to J. T.

Mr. Editor: —The hailstorm that visited the section of the county near Dry Pond on last Tuesday night week, the Bth instant, came up about six o’clock in the evening, and appeared to he a narrow cloud, but was accom panied by an unusual amount of wind and lightning. The storm was fearful to behold, and severely frightened most of the people, but it did not last long. It was not until the next morning that the damage could be noted. At .Mr. W. F. Head’s farm, about a mile and a half from Dry Pond church, on the Ilog Mountain road, the damage was great. On this place there was a fifty acre field of cotton, about eight or ten acres of which had never been picked over, and there was at least six bales of it heat out on the ground and ruined. The bark on the old tree stumps, bushes and cotton stalks is beat off. The limbs of the cotton stalks look as if they had all been knocked off with a sliek. Near by there were twenty-nine pine trees that had fallen in reach of each oilier. The loss to Mr. Head will be a severe one, and it will take him sometime to get over it. On Sunday evening, the 13th inst., five days after the storm, the hail measured sixteen inches deep and ranged in size from a partridge egg down. The old people say that it was the heaviest rain, hail and wind storm that has visited these parts in years. Mr. G. E. Deadwjler’s mill dam was carried away, and several hales of cotton went floating off. The fences across hollows and brandies had a hard time of it. We have given the above facts without any coloring, and they can be substantiated. Respectfully, Patrick, Lay & Head. Gainesville & Jefferson R. R. The Athens Chronicle has not lost all hope yet of securing a connection with the Gainesville & Jefferson rail road, and to trge the importance of the enterprise to its citizens, it uses the following arguments, which, it appears to our minds, are conclusive upon the subject: “ During a recent trip through Jack son county, we were more than ever impressed with the vital necessity of a railroad from Athens to-Jefferson. The Gainesville & Jefferson R. R. has now been graded to within four miles of Jefferson, at the small cost of six thousand dollars. This demonstrates two things : first, that the R. R. to Gainesville will really be built; and, second, that a narrow-gauge can be built ot such a low cost that Athens cannot afford not to have one to Jefferson. “ The advantages of railroad com munication with Jackson county are, that it is necessary to hold our trade, and second, to gain more. It is useless to think of keeping the trade we have hitherto had by wagon, in its former state. It is enough to sav that the day of wagon trade, pro* excellence, has passed and gone. There is another reason why this road should be built. A road from Athens via Jefferson to Gainesville will make Gainesville 15 miles nearer Athens than Atlanta, and the inevitable conserpience will be, that the Gainesville merchants will return to their old alliance and trade in Athens as of yore. There are otlTer good reasons why it should be built, which we have not now the space to present, and we simply write this to make a final effort to call the attention of our people to this great necessity. We shall have more to say in our next issue.’’ The steam gin belonging to the Messrs. Carmichael, of McDonough, caught fire from a stray spark last Friday and was entirely consumed, together with live bales of cotton. GiCOKUIA >I\VS. Athens Watchman; ‘We learn that there is an Athens raised colt. now in training in Tennessee, that can trot down in the ‘twenties.’ Her owners hope some day to see her beat 'Maud S.'s’ record.” On Tuesday night, Ist inst.. Mr. Nat. Arnold, of Oglethorpe, had his gin house burned, together with five bales of cotton and two gins. The accident was caused by the careless handling of a kerosene lamp by a negro. Blakely News: “We saw quite a curiosity in Blakely a few days ago— something that we had never seen lie fore. It was a squirrel as wh'te as snow—not a colore 1 hair upon it; and its very claws were white. I was killed in the swamp east of town by Horace Webb, colored.” Americas Recorder: “Some time since, in Macon, we met a gentleman who owns a farm of sixty acres, three miles from the citv. Forty acres of his place arc set in Bermuda grass, and estimates his annual return at §3.000. His work is performed by machinery, and lie says his farm is large enough for him. lie supports a family and is making money.” Greensboro Herald: “Fiiday. the 12th inst., is the day designated oli the execution of Joo Harris, colored. Those who take pleasure in witnessing public hangings need not come to town on that day for sneli a purpose, for the criminal will be executed with in the walls of the county jail, where he now lies incarcerated. So much for the sound discretion of Judge Lawson.” West Point Press: “The leading en lerprise of our community is again fully equipped for work. The mills will sown run over five thousand spin dles and produce at least ten thousand yards of superior coton duck goods per day. This amount consumes twelve bales of cotton daily. The re cent improvements to the mills place them upon a firm basis, and the ma chinery is all English make and first class in pattern and construction.” LaGrange Reporter: “Rev. J..M. Lowry, the able pastor of Troup cir cuit, has applied for a patent for a very useful invention. It is a ‘buggy top hood,’ which, fastened to the rim of the top, and extending over the dashboard, protects the inmates from both sun and rain. It can be so ad justed as to ward off the rays of Sol whether they are vertical or horizontal —not only at midday, but at earlv morn or late in the afternoon. Buggy manufacturers say it is the thing they have long sought.” Ilawkinsville Dispatch: “Jack Gil bert and a man named Pippin, both white, got drunk, and while on the road near Thomasvillo, last Saturday, Gilbert pulled Pippin out of his buggy and cut his throat. Pippin leivd only five minutes. If we are not mistaken, ajman by the name of Jack Gilbert was, a few years ago, sentenced by Judge Pate to the chain gang from Dooly county for having taken the life of a man named King. Gilbert made his escape, and when last heard from was in the lower portion of the State. This is probably his seco and crime of a murderous nature.” Macon Telegraph: “ Yesterday a fight occurred in the jail between Will Walker and Muse llollingahead. The latter is in for cattle stealing and the former for shooting his wife. llol lingshead is a desperate character, and has had to be chained down twice be fore for bad conduct. Yesterday he got into a dispute with Walkc l , and the result was Walker smashed a stone spittoon over his head. Ilollingshead closed in upon him, and being a much more powerful man than his antago nist punished him severely, until help came in the person of tlie jailer, Mr Foster, and others, and Ilollingshead was again chained to the lloor.” Atlanta Constitution: “ Georgia’s exhibit is now complete, and it gives an excellent idea of the resources of the State. In agricultual products there is a variety which would surprise the visitor, who thinks that Georgia raises only a great deal of cotton and a little corn or wheat. There are all kinds of agricultual staples and curi osities. Of cotton, the display is very fine, and reflects honor upon the Stale as well as the exhibitors. The display fills most of the space in the centre of the main building up stairs. All Georgia visitors to the grounds—ail who want to know what the State can do—should visit the display to see for themselves.” Buena Vista Argus: “Last Wedncs day morning Miss Julia, young (laugh ter of Mr. Kinch Worthy, of Friend ship.-was standing near the steam en gine used by her father at his gin. when her dress was caught by the belt and her body whirled around at every revolution of the wheel. Her head was beaten against Urn hard ground and horr'-bly mangled and one of her arms was bably bruised. As soon as possible the engine was stopped, and Miss Julia, in an insensible condition, was taken to the house. The beating of the pulse or throbbing of the heart could not be detected, and she was thought to have been dead. On the ar rival of the physician pulsation was resumed, but the latest information we received is that she has not yet spoken. This is the saddest accident that we have been called upon to chronicle for some time. Alter going to press we learn that the young lady is dead.” TALMADCE, HODGSON * CO., GROCERS A IST JD Provision Dealers, Corner College Avenue and Clayton Street. Augusta Netos: “OnSaturday Ilcnry Gordon, colored, who lives on ttic land of Judge E. F. Lawson, a few miles from Waynesboro, brought to that town a bale of cotton to pay his rent. The cotton was sold to Wilkins & Cos., but Mr. R. C. Neely, noticing that it was a small bale and seemed loosely packed, thought it weighed too much, and commenced investigating. Asa result a pile of ?and that would proba bly weigh two hundred pounds was found concealed in the centre of the cotton. Ilenry owned up to the charge, and could only urge in exten nation that the man who ginned the cotton had suggestel the trick to him. The latter individual, another colored man. indignantly denies any knowl edge of the transaction.” Walton News: “ Last Saturday even ing Mrs. W. W. Parker gave a quilting, to which all the young ladies and young men in the neighborhood were inv to 1, the former to do the sew n/ and the latter to thread the needles. But two of the young men did not confine themselves to threading need les alone, but while Mr. Ilenry T. Sprinks wans threading nee Ucs lor Miss Sarah A. Williams and Mr. Josiah Stokes for Miss .Josie Williams, they were engaged in a conversation that no others were allowed to hear, and by twelve o’clock these two young men look two of their best friends around the corner and told them they could do them a great service—one by going to see Judge Giles, the Ordinary, and the other by going for Squire V. A. Cooper. The papers were soon on hand, and Judge'Cooper was aroused from his slumbers and was present, and the quilting ended with a double marriage, and the two sisters went home to present their husbands to their parents, all thanking Mrs. Parker for giving that quilting.” Martin Institute.
