Paschal, Dr. W. O. Kendrick, M. H. Mumbai 1, J. W. Wooten, Eli G. Hill, and Dr. Johu T. Lnmnr are at work revising the Jury box. These gentlemen are engaged in a responsible task, nevertheless, it is a “labor of love” with them for they desire with all the rest of good citizens to see the jury system controlled by principles which under lay the foundations of truth, justice, morality eud iutol'igence—the basis of all good citizenship. In the hands of these gentlemen nothing unclean will go into the jury box, for a most rigid scrutiny will be theirs. One of the mem bers of this Commission, Hon. EU G. Hill has been a jury Commissioner ever since this oounty was first organized. The County Commiisioners, W. H. Turner, E. B. Bridges, A. J. Loe, 3. R. Marshall and Geo. O. Hill, held a meet ing in the office of tbe Ordinary on last Tuesday. The condition of tho Pauper farm was before the body,and reported to be in a good condition. Also, tho bridges of the oonniy to a great extent were reported in n first-class condition. Tyrrell county has reason to be proud of her officers from the lowest to the high-- est for thoy are always zealous in tho dis charge of their respective duties. The now paper, the Dawson Appeal, it is said will make its first appearanco on the 15th of this month. Prof’s B. C. Adams & M. A. McNulty are the proprie tors of the enterprise, and of course m we have a “fellow-feeliug" with all journal ists, we bid it good speed. The recont death of young Terrell Ragan, at Bronwood, has cast a gloom over the feelings of all of us hero. Terrell, who had been blind from his birth, re ceived in part, compensation for the loss of his sight by being educated at the Blind Asylum in Macon, where he bo- came a first class musician. At tho time of his death he had just graduated, and had endeared himself to all by his beauti ful qualities oi heart and mind. Wo ex- teud to tho bereaved ones our heart-felt sympathies. Dr. W. C. Kendrick, president of the Dawson &. Albany Railroad, reports much progress being made in tho interests of rood. lie "ays that he has lind subscrib ed to him for the road up to this time % $17000, and is in easy reach of enough to swell It up to $40,000. Dr. Kendrick is iudufuligiible iu his efforts to muko this road a success and many are holding up his hands in this enterprise. Muj. Hood is oue of tho most enthusiastic men about this enterprise that wo ever saw. . The Methodists of this place hnvo been in negotiation recently for the sale of their church and lot to tho Catholic*. Tbe property was oflered for $1,100, bat can be bought now for $1,000. The Methodist congregation desire* a eliurch iu a more central part of the city. The many friends here of Rev. W. M- Hayes are pained to learn that he is suf fering to feuch an extent from asthma, that his physicians have fotbidden him for the present to preach. Judge L. M. Leonard and Mr. Willie are quite sick, but it is the hope of their many friends that they will soon recover. Prof. J. ,W. Lowrey, who has recently been confined to his homo by sickness, we»aro glad to seo is on our streets again. A mild typo of fever prevails herj which readily yields to treatment. The physi cians in this city are warning all to bo | and It Is said is under the incumbrances | of a dower, mortgage, etc. It was sold i for cash. Our young friend J. W. Brown is hav ing built one of the coziest cottages ever I erected iu this place. John displays | good taste iu his architectural designs.

The schedule of the Southwestern IL B. changes about as often as does day aud night Tbe upward train from Eufanla now reaches this point at about 2 o’clock p. iu., while tbe downward train from Macon reaches here about J o'clock p. m. Both trains meet at Hmitbville. Now, what will tbe Americus hoys do about their Sunday rides, when both trains met below Kmithville? Mayor W. B. Cheatham has returned from Gnibcfiville, where he had been to carry bis wife, who will remain at that place until the fall, for the bonefit of her health. Mr. Win. Wooteu’s family of this place are also summering it at Gaines- vil!#. Prof. Quillian is here and will soon reopen Owen Nolsen Institute. Mr. Wesley Dozier, of Savannah, is here visiting friends and relatives. . Miss Belle Coker, of your city, is in this place visiting Mias Alico Dozier. Capt. T. M. Jones* has recently returned from a visit with his family to his place at the Plainx of Dura. Mr. O B. Htevcos is out of the city on a visit to Louisville, Jefferson county. The Chickasawhatebee people are alive with hospitality, and are making prepara tions to entertain their friends at their quarterly meeting, which commences on uext Friday night. A basket dinner will be given on Saturday. Presiding Elder G. G. N. McDonald of yonr oily will be present and preach. From the court ho»e steps in this cjty on last Tuesday, Sheriff Thornton sold at public tale to A. O. Lee, 270 acres of laud in this county for $307. This land was part of tbe estate of the lato M, H. Bush, CHICKASAW HATCH EE ITEMS. Mr. Harper, of Magnolia Springs, Sum ter county, was in our viilage on lost Sat urday visiting relatives. We hoard Judge Clarke’s oharge to the grand jury on last Thursday evening; it was very appropriate, full of logic and common sense. Mr. Tom Durham, of Leary, was ia the village a few days ago. Colonel W. G, Himpson was in the vil lage, a few days ago, whooping up the Dawson and Albany railroad. Let 'er roll. The colored people of this community had a barbecue near here on Friday last at the closing exercises of their school. Wo wosn’t present, but were informed that thoy had a good dinner and a very ploasant time. They also had a school exhibition at night, which we are told was a vory enjoyable affair. Early last Saturday morning, while riding out to visit some of our patients, we met four young gentlemen from Daw son riding leisurely aloug, bound, they said, for a point eight miles below Al bany to attend a wedding. Our base ball club is invited to play a match gome on next Friday with the Bethel club, at their play ground, five mil os cast of hero. The fanners aro now busily engaged in pulling fodder, They are having rather a hard time for the business, ou account of so much rain. There is still considerable sickness in this seotion.and our professional engage ments are very pressing, whioh makes it hard work for us to get up a very inter esting batch of items for this week. There are n great many farmora in tide section who, while thoy ore not oble to take stack in the Dawson and Albany railroad, are willing, if it will be any in ducement or help, to givo the company the right of way through their lauds. We can’t soe everything; neither can we l»o everywhere; consequently, if our friends wonld bo kind enough to give ns hits of nows of interest that they may learn, wo could uiako the Chickasaw- hatchet) Items more interesting to them and more satisfactory to ourself. Our friend Mr. John Kitchens present ed us with a very fine muak melon the other day, for which ho has our thanks. Wc have received two or three copies ot tho Blufflon Springs, a paper pub lished at Blufttou, Clay county, and ed ited by Messrs. Bryan and llollin. These gontlemeu seem to he laboring zealously for tho interest of BlufRon and Clay county. Mr. Bryan requested us, through a friend, to write for his paper occasion ally from this point. Wo would bo glad to do so, but owing to pressure of busi ness at this season of tho ycur, we must decline, though we may givo him some of our thoughts later on. Wo would say to our friend W. K. P., of tho Amkiuclh Rkcordkr, that we tried, but failed, but that wo aro going to try again. Mr. T. A. Coleman, of Buford, Ran dolph oounty, has been visiting here fora few days. Mr. Whit Ellis and lady, of Cuthhert, are visiting relatives in this section. WKHSTKK COUNTY. Prkhton, Aug 5th.—The citizens of Webster eounty mot this day according to previous call by the Executive commit tee for the purpose mentioned in said call. Hon. John P. Beatty, chairman of the Executive committee, explained the ob ject of tbe meeting. On motion of Hon. D. B. Harrell, D. R* Hhepherd wus elected chairman and Geo. E. Thornton was appointed secretary.

JOLLY JOHNPRKEVILLR JOHNi’RBviLLK, Augusts.—The seasons continue and the cotton, peas and pota toes ore doing their best, but we are somewhat uneasy about tbe worm*. We find the ootton fields full ot files, some thing like the candle fly, only we think larger. Thoy are covered with something like down and hove greon eyes. We don't know whether they are tbe caterpil lar fly or not. Canyon or any one else tell ns? We would like to know. They are never to be aeon only lato in ,t)ie evening. The oorn crop is made and con sidered very fine, but many will find when they gather that their corn will not be near what they thought. Many say there will bo no corn buyers next year, but we say theie will be more Ugtn the present year, for you will find but few farmers in the country but what will begin to use their ^corn as soon oa 'it is hard enough to gather. Another reason is the orop is not near so good oa last year. Thore will be plenty made tof next year, but will take nearly half the orop for the balance ot this year, and by the time the fanners g>t through with killing bogs for next year many will not have oorn enough. . / <: <■ % \ /. ! Jennie Seville has been quite sick with fever but it up again.- .Robbie Navillo has been quite sick from a.liok across his right eye, accidentally done by Tom ^u- preo.

Samuel Beall planted less than } an acre in Early Amber sugur cane. By the middle of July it had fully matured and the fodder was pulled making 100 bundles of good fodder. Capt. Boall then ground the cane aud made 82J gallons of clear, bright syrup as tho product of this patch. This i\ aore has already paid over fifty dollars uot counting the fodder ond seed saved. Now that tho contracts for grading the A. P. & L. Railroad are to be let out, let’s havo a squad of cronkers and growl ers on the line. They may not be useful in flinging dirt, but whije tho workers are out on the levels, away from streams and ponds, this squad can supply tbe placo of tbe natural croakers, in making night hideous with choruses more dieionsot than the harsh diapason ' of their amphibian congeners. The prospects for a good corn crop may now bo considered oa mtturing into an assured certainty, for the rains have been generous and plenteous, and the outlook for cotton has appreciated greatly during the hut three weeks of warm abowory weather. Now that there is so much talk about magnetic girls, we “rise to remark," that our Lumpkin girls may not be magnetic, but they are tbe most attractive girls In this broad laud; and some of them could make a fellow “git," if be wa«at the other end of a broomstick. An Americus gentleman was in town yesterday trying to buy real estate. He took a fancy to a vacant lot on Main Ktreet which sold abeutl8 months ago for $150. He offered $350 cash for it but found that the owner asked $750. He has unbounded faith In the fhtnre of Lnmpkin and will invest his money here if he can ouy property ot reasonable fig ures. Envy Wounded Writhes In Pain, and llles Amid Her Worshippers. Although rude and violent at* tacks, based upon envy, jealousy, and greed, have frequently been made upon the well earned lopota- tion for integrity and fair dealing in the management of the Louisiana State Lottery, they have all proved fruitless and recoiled upon the authors. The next (the 171st) Grand Monthly Drawing will take place on Tuesday, August 12th, when over $265,000 will be scat tered broadcast. Por information apply to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La. A CARD.
