Pike County Journal: “Sheriff How¬ ard had $40 stolen from his residence last week. This amount was taken from a pocket book containing about three hundred dollars. A aegro wo¬ man who helps in the house to sus¬ pected of the theft and there are strong circumstances against her. As poor as a church moose, she went to Griffin last week and spent eight or ten dollars, contributed liberally to defraying the expense of delegates to th# district meeting in progress here, and was seen with thirty dol¬ lars in cash.” Griffin merchants are anticipating a large tall trade and they will not be disappointed. This city has al¬ ways be® noted tor tbs liberality of her business men, and for the many advantages we enjoy as a commer¬ cial centre. Prices are as low here, the year round, as any place in the South, while m a cotton market, it is ahead of all competition. The prospects for a good fall and winter trade were never brighter. Already a number of the merchants have gone North for their stocks, whil# others will leave in the course of a few days. The Jackson Argus gives its read- ire the following good advice: ■While everything to quiet and every¬ body has more or less Hpare time, would it not be a good plan for prop¬ ?iac±::±si£r erty owners to take a little pains to as possible. Cleanupabouttheyard, pile np those loose boards, dig out those stumps, burn that rubbish. If you can improve the appearance just outside the fence on the street with¬ out much expense, do so. A little later you will be too busy to attend to these details, and when visitors be¬ gin to pour into our dty this fall you will regret that your premises are not in a more presentable condi¬ tion/’ It to a fact that newspaper readers do not slight the advertisements. They have come to realize that the advertisements in a newspaper rep¬ resent the goods which the merchants have for sale, and they take pains to familiarize themselves with what storekeepers have to offer. Moreover, the constituency of a paper are very apt to be governed by what they read in their own paper. If the pa¬ per is accepted in its political, moral and intellectual tone as our home pa- par, its advertisers share the respect and confidence bestowed upon the paper itself. This is an important fact for advertisers to remember; at the same time it calls tor the exercise on tbe part of tbe newspaper publish¬ ers of great care in the admtosiqp of advertisements.

Tbs stockholders of the Atlanta A Florida railroad met in Atlanta oa Wednesday and elected the following board of directors: L. J. Hill, E. W. Marsh, J. W. Rucker, W. P. Russell, E. P. Powell, J. K. Brunner, P. L. Mynatt, H. C. Harris; L. F. Blalock, John Collier, 8. B. Hoyt, B. F. Mad¬ dox and J. B. Wyllie. * i * The Constitution-gives the follow¬ ing report of the meeting: “When the election was over the stockholders passed the following resolutions: “Whereas, Our president, Dr. Aaron Haas, has served us faithfully while president; therefore,be it Resolved, That the thanks of our board be tendered him for the faith¬ ful discharge of his duty, and that we express regret that he insists on resigning. “President Haas, before leaving, submitted his yearly report, in which be showed that the net earnings of the road, $14,000, was expended in improvements. # “k meeting of tbe board of direct¬ ors was called tor to-morrow for the purpose of electing a new president. It wasstated that the position would be offered to Judge 8. B.. Hoyt. This gentleman said, however, that there was not the slightest use of doing so as nothing would induce him to ac¬ cept. / V; -- “After th# meeting was over Mr. Haas said that he had been anxious to resign for a long time, os he had sold all bis stock ; n the railroad com¬ pany. He only retained his position because he was requested to remain until the yearly meeting, when hto term of office would expire. “The road, be said, is entirely with¬ out money to either procure rolling stock, or to obtain terminal facilities in Atlanta, and unless the stockhold¬ ers are willing to advance money for these purposes, nothing can be done. ‘None of tbe stockholders are in¬ clined to take this means out of their difficulties.” As stated by the News and Sun some time ago, the road is without Southern connections and to as near¬ ly abandoned as any railroad well can be, running a single passenger train down one day and back tbe next. This is the road that was built by Atlanta with Buch a great flourish of trumpets after Griffin had secured the Georgia- Midland. It was to con¬ nect with the Georgia Midland "at Williamson and divert all freight and travel at that point to Atlanta. Large tracts of ground were bought at Williamson, which was to become agreatcity, with a magnificent hotel. The ground to still there, but the city will not sbOW up much in the next census.

The state fair was fully discussed, and a great deal of enthusiasm will was be aroused. The fair this fall better than ever before. The admirable address by Capt. Warren of Macon on grasses and for¬ age crops was highly appreciated. It will do much good tor the state. Governor Gordon was welcomed by the convention in a manner wor¬ thy of the grand man he is. He de¬ livered a most admirable address, which was received with frequent ap¬ plause. Gov. Gordon evidently has the heart of the fanners. The thanks of the convention were tendered the Centra! railroad for its munificent gift in paying $1,200 for the first county prize and for the ten¬ der of an excursion of farmers to the Western harms and Western fairs for tiie purpose of examining into the methods of that section, rhtoto mag nificent benefaction by the Cen¬ tral, and the convention recognized it fully. Tht followi ng gentlemen were elect¬ ed to go on the excursion: W. S. Kemp, 0. A. Barry, J. B. James, C. L, Moses, L. F. Livingston, R. A. Nisbet, J.O. Waddell, W. H. Perkin- son, W. J.NorthenandM.

TheSouthem Cultivator offered to print the a ddress free of charge. Hawkinsville was unanimously chosen as the place of meeting next February. This convention was a fine body of men.
