Largo preparations are being made,
and as tho hospitality of Dawson
and Terrell county is proverbial,
and all may be assured that a feast
of reason and n flow of soul will bo

On that day a pleasing episode
will take place, in which the base
ball club of Eufaula will meet tbo
base ball club of Albany here in a
rivalry of contest, and it is thought
tiiat the rival haso hall clubs of
Dawson and Uronwood will also
play at some lime during thu day
in pleasing contest. “Lct’or roll”
is the enthusiastic exclamation of
all here in anticipation of a good
time next Friday.
Polities Is at “fever heal” here
and in the county. .Stevens and
Pickett are good men, nnd no mat
ter which one is elected, we all
feel assured that lire interests of
this scetion will ho looked after
unselfishly.
The farmers of this couuty are
1 ‘'''“Tit “jubilant” in anticipation ol tire
•t—" proliflic yield that is before them.
The season so far has been a most
excellent one and we arc all happy
in looking forward to this fall, de-
this arrangement we get our mail
at least an hour sooner than for
merly.
James Sharp, son of Dr. Far-
mini, of this city, who is a student
at Krnory College, is at home appease the almoet insatiable ap-
made to make the occasion enjoya

superintendents. In due time we

From a postal received here by

held in the city of Macon on the

THE FOURTH IX II00LV.
Boi.knville, July 6 As tho 4th
of July is sot apart by tho “rmau-
cipuled” to celebrate in thu way
of recuperations in tho rural dis
tricts, your correspondent, in com
pany with Messrs. E. B. Lewis, J.
YV. McKenzie, Joe YVilson, Louis
Lippmun, M. I/. Patrick and others,
by tho timo tho “king of day” be
gan rising in tbo East, launched
lorllt from -Montezuma cn route to
tbe annual picnic in the 2d district
of Dooly, ou Little river, well
known as thu “Cyclono Bathecue.”
Thu duy was refulgent, tbe balmy
air exhilarating and the elberiul
songsters sent strains of melody to
make pleasant the journey. But
nothing could surpass thu pictur
esque loveliness, which would now
and then hurst forth upon the gaze
of the traveler, and the novel scen
eries of the undulating landscapes,
extension farms of fine corn, splen
did cotton nnd excellent grass.
About ten o'clock our journey
became monotonous, but our di
lemma was soon relieved by tbe
merry greetings of the melodious
“airs” from tbe instruments which
had been procured to make music
lor tbe occasion. This gave vent
to us, approaching our randsome,
which seem to be the clysiutu of
twelve or fifteen hundred people.
Tltero we found an extensive stage
Moultrie, Juno 29.—Col. Pat
terson will have hie angino running
in three weeks. He will runasaw,
gin anil grist mill. YVo will then
ccaso from our mill-going troubles,
don't you know? At preseat we
are dependent ou Jno. Fincher’s,
five miles above here, and for the
greater part of tbo year nearly that
distance from water, steam, or oth
er motive powor. In case John
don’t grind wo fall hack oh Till
man, 8 miles south, which manages
to run every day in the year but
365, excepting leap year, when tho
oir days amount to 366. Both the
mills resemble the famous “mills ot
tbe Gods” in that they grind slow
ly, though there is nothing email
about tlio product oxoopt the qfian-
tity. Once a facetious boy went
to mill to ono of those: “YVhy,
great jemini gosh, Mr. Miller, I kin
cat the homily as fast as yerdarned
olo mill kin grind it.” “Yes, but
how long could you hold out?” ask
ed tho miller. “Till I starved to
death, hy granny.” One other
alternative is Wheeler Norman’s,
9 miles, nnd ho has only certain
days of the week to grind on.
Rains continuous, and whlrli-
gusts occasionally have driven tbe
last semblance of snnsbina during
the past two weeks into hopeless
obscurity. Every fellow citizen
you meet is in pursuit of “later
vines.” Crops are looking oxcecd-
ly well, except poor king cotton.
Aquarius has entered into a league
with Gen. Green and I fear that
King Cotton’s accouterments will
rust cro the battle isovor.
Thero Is good deal of talk among
our people in regard to a greator
diversification of crops. More in
terest is being manifested iu the
caro of orofaard, garden and poultry
yard. Beekeeping is attracting
somo attention, and experiments
arc meeting with flattering success.
Five years ago I knew of plenty of
families in this county who Had
never seen a headed cabbago grow
ing. Some who had never been to
town, didn't know how a cabbage
head looked. Now everybody has
a garden, and I have seen as fine
cabbago grown here during the
present year as I aver saw any
where.
I riso to enquire if tlio Macon

is built altogether iu air, and that
the grading, ties, traok, rolling
stoek and all is ofthe same ethereal
material. Tho surveyed routes aro
alone of tlio earth, earthly.
Blackberries are selling at $1
per bushel. Corn is worth $1.10
to $1.25, whero it can be bad; ba
con sells at 14 to 17 cents per
pound; beef 4 to 5; mutton $2 each,
and chickens and eggs 15 to 25,
and 10 to 15, respectively.
YV. K. P. mentions the bold chir-
ogruphy which has become the pre
vailing style utnong our lady writ
ers. lie might also add that it is
the universal fashion among male
writers of these latter days. In
my humble opinion the moderu
