I JoHNi-aEKvir.i.K, Oot. 20.—See a little cloud in the west, with the wind from the south, and ruin is daily expected. Get up and dust, Now is the time. It is the opinion of many that if we don’t get rain soon we will have a great deal of sickness. In some parts of the country it is most impossible for stock to get water. Many of them have to go miles to get it. Most ot the water gins and mills arc out of water, and the steam gins are crowded. Right here wc will-say that we have plenty of water, en gines in fine order; nnd ono of the best gins in the State, and parties wanting their cotton ginned oan bo promptly attended to by bringing it to us. Our arrangements are such that we cannot be crowded. Wc have for sale a good 45 saw gin in fine order. Also set 8 feet cast gin gearing that we will sell cheap. Any one needing such an outfit can buy them cheaper for the money than they were ever sold in Georgia. The gearing lias been run only one season. *SWe havo been asked the qncs tion many times if the contract for grading the A. I’. A. I.. road was not let out before the Directors decided to make it a narrow guage. This is a question wc cannot an swer, aswc don’t remember. Many think it was, and don’t think it right to pay as much for grading t narrow as a standard guage, anil if there is so much difference in the cost ought there not to be some in the grading? Will some one answer? We hear it reported that tho road from Jlrainbridge via Outh- b.-rt will reach Lumpkin before the Americus, Preston nnd Lumpkin road does. We don’t know as this is true, but wc can accommodate them both. Hurry up, friends, somqot us are going to hold soma cotten to ship as soon as tho road is completed. Many of us expect to buy our next year's supplies in Americus, and have them shipped to our nearest stations, which will be much cheaper than hauling them from other places. Everybody over here likes Americus, hut every thing is so dry nnd! hot, and the sand so heavy, many of them won’t pull their stock so fur. Give us the road and we will make Ameri cus headquarters. Mr. Wiggins, of Marion county, and Miss Maggie Roberts, of Stew art, were married, yesterday eve ning, at the residence of the bride, Rev. William Crymcs olliciating. To the happy couple wc tender our sympathies, and wish them u long and linppv life. Weston now supports a line mil itary company, with ,1. S. Parker as Captain. Jack will make a good one, and will train the boys up iu the way they should go. Matrimonial market steady, with a good supply on hand. Boys, how can you allow yourselves to become old bachelors? Can’t you face the music? If you cannot, get some of , vour friends to help you out. j .Mrs. (). S. Pace anti children, of Terrell county, are visiting in lire ville, guests or Mrs. N.C.

His throw was 135 yards II inches, nnd was said lo have been made without the slightest effort. John Hatfield, formetly of the New York Mutuals, threw 133 , yards, 1 foot and 7 J inches twelve years ago, and this was rite longest throw ever made until Crane’s performance at Cincinnatti. The ; balls were thrown across the wind ' in both instances. A NnritsoNvim.k, October 22.—It would give tno pleasure to comply with your request to furnish the RwonDKit with nows from this point, but it requires tho services of a skilled reporter to find news where there is none to find. There is a great deal of sickness in the neighborhood *f Anderson- ville, and the physicians complain of being overworked. Pr. West brook hardly gets time for necessa ry sleep, there being but few nights that he is not called up to visit some sick person, frequently miles in the country. It has been over two months since wc had any rain, and farmers are gloomy over the prospects for the future. Guano agents are about scraping up wbnt little the farmers managed to save this year, and obtaining a firm grip on next year’s as well There was a slight shower south ol hero just after the news from Ohio, and no doubt after the November election we shall have an abundance of rain and all the good things moistmc promises for Southwest Georgia. The Ueunu Vista railroad appears to be prospering. I am told four car loads of cotton bavo already been shipped through from Ellavillc to Macon. 1 can learn of none having gone to Americus. Tho freight to Ellavillc is also quite heavy, frequently as much as the baggage car will bold. Business at Andersonvilie is fair, but not what it ought to be. Talk of a hotel still continues, but tho man with the monoy has not been found. If some one from abroad would come and make the invest ment, Andersonvilie would not object to reap the advantage from the enterprise. A W AR TV THE DEATH. Ib BllteriteM. NbwYobk, Oot. 20 The rail road war between the Western trunk lines still continues, and the Erie Company to-day announced that it would to-morrow meet the reduced rates of the Central and West Shore Roads. The predic tion is mado that tickets will yet be sold to Chicago for $5 each. The Post says: “The newa of the morning arc all in favor of a depression of prices. It is report ed and believed that the West Shore has contracted to take grain from Cbieago to New York at 7 cents per bushel. There seems to be no prospect of an immediate improvement in the war ol passen ger rates cither between Now York and Chicago or west of the tatter point. Buffalo dispatches this morning say that the New York Central officials have ordered a reduction of passenger rates to one-half from Chicago to the Mis souri river. Tho passenger rates are in quite ss discouraging a con dition as far as the war in rates between the trunk lines east of Chicago is concerned. It eoems to bo coupled with the purpose to break down ail prices in order to get possession of certain stocks, of which Jersey Central is ono, that being the key to the local trade from New York and points East. It is apparent that Reading can not hold control of Jersey Central, owing to its own increasing finan cial embarrassments. A note of Reading for $750,000, due Oct. 15, is reported to have been only half paid, and the company has no other collaterals which bankers are willing to take to extend the bal ance. DAWSON DOTS. Dawson, Oot. 22.—The young peoplo met at Judgo Orr’s last night and had an excellent musical entertainment. The vocal and in strumental music was of the very best quality, and the young ladies and gents had on their best looks, and the world weut well witli all who attended. Messrs.

For a number of ycais he edited the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal and contributed a large number of valuable and original papers, among which are the differ ent diagonis of the fracture of the shoulder and the heroic treatment of woundB in the nbdomcn. He Is the only physician in America who has accomplished the ligature of tho ircliiatic artery for aneurism. He wus one of the founders of the Medical College of Georgia and its deal, for 2(1 years.
