We had a light frost last Tuesday, which killed some cotton and other Bmall plants. The farmers were about done chopping cottou bo fore the rain, but we suppose they will have It to chop again.

Miss Lillie Stallings, of Sunny Side, spent lastThursday with friends near Creswell. Miss Jennie Treasure, of Pomona, was in Sunny Side last Friday. Mrs. Emma Hunt, of Florida, is spending some time with Mrs. Dr. Stair,of the place. J. D. Brewster say that ho killed a snake Saturday that measured thirteen feet. As the farmers have organized a club known as the Farmers Alliance, the young men of this place speak ef getting up a club, to be known as the Bachelors Allowance, and they guarantee erery member a good chance of getting a wife, that is, if he will act like a gentleman skonld.

Capt, W. H. Hartnett went to Atlan ta yesterday. It. B. Mann, of Oakland, was in the city yesterday. Mr. and Mrs, Albert Brooks went to Atlanta yesterday. Iter. G. B. McCall returned yeater day evening from a trip to Wfeynesbore. Major J. Q. Word left yesterday even ing for Macon, Milledgeville and Ameri CHS. The revised prayer book will not be used in 8t. George’s church this year; the old one is good enough. Miss Maggie Stealey, of Anna, Ohio returned yesterday from a trip to and rejoined her friends here. T. J. Williamson, of Barnesville, the mail agent between Atlanta and Satan nah, spent yesterday forenoon in the city. The rain all day Sunday was thorough and penetrating, and helped the soil and vegetation very much, though it left the atmosphere much cooler yesterday than ia usual at this time of the year. W. D. Randall is meeting with mnch success and encouragement in getting up his directory. It is a good enterprise. Griffin needs a good directory and should do her best to help the scheme along. J. L Oxford’s meat wagon ran away yesterday evening, turning over the wa ter trough at the King corner and scat taring beef and boy along Taylor Btreet until the horse reached home. Nothing much hurt. Mrs. Wm. Warder writes back from Cincinnati that people up there are wearing overcoats and sealskins. That is what they would be doing here If they hadn’t prematurely pawned such articles for useless Bummer clothes. J. H. Joyce, the editor of an Ohio matrimonial paper, cut his throat Sun day. Trobably owing to lack of business on .account of this being leap year,when old maids are privileged to make their proposals person ally. Only one case was on docket at police court yesterday. Clara Logan was fined $5,00 and costs, or 20 days for drunken ness and disorderly conduct. Court was held in Recorder Cleveland’s office in the Agricultural building. Notwithstanding the continued cool weather and occasional frosts, it is be lieved the Northern fruit crop is still safe, and but little injured if any. The bloom is so thick this year that two- thirds of it oould fail to mature, and yet leave an enormous crop. The executive committee of Fayette county has called a mass meeting of the people to meet the 1st Tuesday in Juno for the purpose of electing a new execu iivo committee, and also to elect dele gate* to the Gubernatorial Convention which meets iu Atlanta on August 8. A man called at a Griffin grocery store yesterday and produced the following memorandum of things to be bought: ‘Caroeene, hear pins, sally ratus, shugar mazzlin, hog rnedsiu, razius, and a bot tie of Jew Nipper corjal.” His wife ad ded the corjal, probably to help her through her bad spells. Removal I The MIDDLE GEORGIA JOB OFFICE has been removed up-stairs, over Blakely's store. We return thanks for the almost universal patronage of the people of the city, at well as the towns adjacent, and repeat our old motto. ‘‘25 percent cheaper than anybody," and first-class commercial work. We invite all to visit our office, and give us a chance to bid on their work. BLAKELY A SON. John Waidroup. of the Gray settle meat near Sunny Side, was seriously bit by a water moccasin while fishing on Saturday afternoon. The party had caught an ed, which escaped, and in reaching around for it Mr. Waidroup grasped the snake, which bit him three times in the arm. At last accounts be was recovering. Some of oar State exchanges seem in dined to praise Judge Brown, of the Blue fudge curcuit, above his des erts.He was sot reversed in a single case by the Supreme Court, doting the last session, but what does this amount to when you consider that he had onli six cases to go npon. Judge Boynton had thirteen cases before the Supreme bench ami onlj two revetsals, which is a better showing than Judge Brown.— [Conyers Solid South- Macon Ever i g News: “Maconiles remember well Prof. A.

The Dawaon company haa tele graphed and received consent to use Griffin No. 1 engine at the tourna ment. If this weather keeps on, white duck coats will be quite cool enough for comfort, even with a shirt under neatb. No. 1 engine and the new reel left for Americus on yesterday noon’s freight, in charge of Jerry Darden and Wyatt Muckle, No. l*s new reel arrived late Sat urday night, but the boys took it off the cars, put it together and slept under it the same night. It is a reel Bweet affair. Just before going to press we learn that George White has decided to go with No. 2 as “cut loose” and W. H, Baker as “pull off” These are two of No. 2 *h old standbys, and the boys are confidant and exultant over the fact that they are going. Americus Recorder : “The Stone walls of Griffin, if past lecords amount to anything at all, will be the most formidable rivals our Wide-Awakes will have to encounter on next Wednesday. They will come fally^prepared, having telegraphed, on Friday last, for a set of couplings to attach to their hose, as they intend to use the Wide Awakes steamer. They will bring what I consider the best and fastest reel in the Sontb, the wheels are over six feet high and it was built by the Silsby Manufac turing Company for fast time. It isn’t very fancy, but to the contrary, very plain, but the boys get there with it as a general thing.-’ The Leap Year German. The young ladies intending to participate in the Leap Year Ger man met at the Nelms House jester day afternoon and decided upon the time and place. It i9 to be at the Greys Armory on Thursday night, May 31st, with refresbmr nts in the adjoining buffet. Seventeen couplos will be present, and Aleck Murray is •aid to be the only boy invited who does not dance—but they couldn’t get along without Aleck. Miss Em ma Johnson will lead the German. Tho whole affair is expected,by those boys who have nad the good luck to be asked, to be one of the most pleas ant occasions ever enjoyed in Grif fin; and judging from the Leap Year party of the first of the year, this ex pectation is certainly well founded. Hood’s Sarsaparilla la peculiar to itself and superior to all other preparations in strength, economy, and tnedlcinnl merit. (‘D rONCOBD CTLLINGS. Farmers Ailiueei, Crops, Excursion* and Personal Mention. Co ncos n, May 21. —All Concord went to the stockholders meeting tba I7tb and had a gay time; hurrah for the Georgia Midland ’ The Coium bus papers say that we carried the prettiest women and children ever seen in the city, and the most of them. We fouml Columbus to be well laid off, and broad streets weil shaded, and nice people—plenty of ice, etc. The President and Direc tors of the road are the right men in the right place. Whatever they do is all right with me, whether I get dividends or not; a free ride I intend to have the balance of life. I understand a black hearted scoundrel put rails and rocks on the railroad near Neal the other night, but failed to do any damage. We bad a beautiful rain yesterday and all nature is booming. Crops fine and everybody in good humor. J. E. McLendon, of Waynman- ville, is on a visit to this town. Ed is a good fellow and has a host of friends. Our mei chants have sold ten or fifteen thousand dollars worth of guano and are now taking notes for the same. If we lail to make a good crop, farewell vain world. In this town are two preachers and preaching every. Sunday Our morals are good and religion at a high standard. I understand our folks have organ ized a Farmers Alliance here. I caa not see what good a thing of that sort can do. If men will pay their debts merchants will sell goods cheap enough regardless of Alliances or tariffs. I intend to get up a debt paying crowd, each of whom shall bind himself to pay all debts of the body. If I succeed you may look out for cheap goods. It is the cer tainty of getting pay that governs the price of an article. I had rather have 50 cents in my pocket than on Tom, Dick and Harry. You are wise in selling your paper for 50 cents in cash, instead of one dollar in promises. J. A. W. YuU.
