Farmers who live on Flint river say the reports of the cannon could be plainly heard Wednesday night. Those who have not already done so, should at once secure seats to the “Strategists” Monday night. The ladies ol tho Presbyterian church are requested to meet at the chapel on Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Hon. J. L.

Mr. Uavcrly has always sent out first-class com panies.

The official vote of this congres sional district by counties cannot yet bo obtained. Mr. Crisp’s ma jority, however, has been put be tween 5,000 and 0,000.

Forst, of Louisville, is in the city selling Brazilian Pebble Spectacles, which are acknowledg ed by all opticians to be the best made. He brings with him testi monials from the heat men in the South, among them many from neighboring counties who are well known to our people. Those who have weak ’or failing eyesight should not fail to call on him, as they may thereby preserve their eyesight for many years; while to buy poor glasses may cause them to lose their eyesight entirely. Being an experienced oculist, Prof. Forst can adjust the glasses to exactly suit your eyes. lie can be fonnd at Jno. M. Coker’s harness store or at the Alien House. ODD ANECDOTES.: “Did you bear the cannon roar last night?” asked an old artillery man. “Ah! but it was music to my ears, and brought back many old and odd remembrances. Couldn't stand the noiso, you say? That was because you are young and not posted on such things. Stand flat-footed, with your mouth open, and you will never notice it. You see there were two guns going last night and It was quite dark. Joe Scott was helping man one, and every time she would let loose lie resorted to that old trick. He forgot about the second gun in the cxcilcraent and was just telling a friend how to keep the noise from bothering him, when the other gnn was discharged with a roar that broke the windows and made Scott's hair stand on end. He never finished the explanation and stood with his mouth open the remainder of the evening. (What will you take? Beer? Two beers, Put.)” “I wifi never forget one engage- ment we hud in the late war. The Yanks were trying to blow up our magazine, which we had under twelve feet of dirt. Reports pub lished afterward showed that over 4,000 shells were thrown in three hours, and they had got down to tho logs that covered our powder. It was getting warm about that time, but darkness came on and protected us. My gun bad an arm blown oil and not a man was killed. Another gun by me with a ten inch bore had a splinter five feet long taken off it by an eleven inch shell striking it square in the bore. I don’t know what would have happened had the shell been ten inch.” drass and drains. “Did you ever hear of George Parker?” inquired one of the talk ers, as wc were discussing politics one evening last week while waiting for the news. “Never did? Well, you should have known him. He was one of the rniartcst boys I ever knew, and wns a regular fire eater at that. He was a railroad man and for a long time was a conductor on South Carolina roads. He was continually getting into trouble and being moved from one railroad to another. At last, he had gone the rounds of tho rail roads in that Stale, nnd througa some o' his friends got a place on the Brunswick road, through the wiregrass region, where they board the trains in gangs and refuse to pay fare. Ho tackled a parly of three one day who refused to pay fare, and nearly got killed. When ho recovered he was discharged and went back to bis old home in Augusta. One day ho met Gen. Wade Hampton and asked him for njob. Hampton said, ‘George, 1 don’t know as I can do anything tor you but givo you a letter to President Hayes.’ George took the letter, pawned his watch, went to Washington and presented his letter. Hayes said,‘Mr. Parker, what do you want?’ George answered he would like to he consul to . Hayes said he had just promised that, hut as this was the first request Irom Gen. Hampton, he would give him a place as consul to another east ern port. George thanked him, went out and managed to get back to Augusta. The papers were for warded him with orders to leave in a certain time. He continued to lay about Augusta whilo the city discussed bis good fortune." “One day I asked bis brother why George didn’t leave for his place, and then I found out that George was dead broke and couldn’t get away, as he was too proud to ask a loau. I went to my hanker an-t told him about it. He immediately fixed up a loan and the money was handed to George without hurting his feelings, nc left for his place, replaced the money the first time he drew his salary, eventually married a count ess, and has his old position still. How he managed to hold it all the time I have never beard. I under- s'and he will soon visit Augusla with his family." Local Politics Oar local political caldron begins to boll briskly and indications point to a lively time in the ap proaching city and county election. The city election for Mayor and three Aldermen takes place next month and the election for county officers comes oft in January. The woods is lull of candidates for the city offices, and the fight for the office of Mayor promises to be exceedingly warm. The local politician has donned his war paint and is out upon the highway expatiating upon his own qualifi cations and touching up the short comings of his opponent. There have been no nominations, and the accepted motto ol the hour is: “An open field and a free fight; every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost." - Our political county waters show no signs as yet of being deeply stirred, but they will become muchly troubled ere the voting day comes around.
