Speeches followed by Oliver, Roney, Blalock, Albrit ton, Brady, Henry Jones and Dave Dudley. The occasion was a most pleasant one, and was particularly notable as being the only meeting of tbe kind ever held in Americas after an election. The successful candidates were congratulated time snd again, and wished good look in their work for tbe city. The flies don't appear to be dy ing in as big a harry as could be exported. They may have .au idea of waiting for awhile and going out of ofiico along with the Rcpub- CAQ8.

Without a doubt it was sn awful cold night, as was shown by tbe enormons demand for wood early the next morning. Many loving husbands remained np the whole night long to keep putting on the logs, and when the chilly morning dawned the wood box and abed were both empty.

The Dawson lodge came up and participated in tho ceremonies, flrand Master of tbe State J. A. Sikes, of Savannah, was present, and addressed the lodge, complimenting it on its fino condition. At one o’clock the pro cession was formed and marched through tho square to Liberty Hall, where the speaking was had. After the Bpeakiug, tbe lodges marched back to its ball through the principal streets. Tho proces sion was quite a long one, and the members displayed some elegant regalias.

Bishop lasteveningin his imper sonation of the celebrated Widow Bedott, and a better pleased audi ence we have never seen' tn Ralston Hail. From the 0rst appearance of the Widow, until the Curtain fell upon her (I)'round and jolly face, fun ruled and laughter applauded, it is seldom that we have an op portunity of enjoying a two-hours’ laugh. Tbe generality of perform ances include a humorous character to draw forth a ripple o( merriment nowand then,but in Widow Bedott it is di0erent. Tbere is room for a smile and reason for a laugh in her every expression and utterance. The fact that never onoe during the evening was the spell broken speaks volumes for tbe company.— Macon Telegraph, November 8. About Spoiling, A noted American said that hs wonld not give a cent far a man who couldn't spell a word “more than one way.” No tion the following spelling: C-l-o-a-t-h-e-s, Cl-os-e, O-l-o-t-h-e-s, O-l-o-z-e. You ean take your choies snd know th&t John B. Shaw's is THE PLACE to buy your Fell and Winter Clothing if you desire to get nil value for yonr money. ootl2tf Golden Days. Such is Jbe title of a handsome illustrated weekly of sixteen pages, edited especially for the edification of boys and girls, published by James Elverson, Philadelphia, at $3 per year. The great feature of this publication is, that while it abounds in amusing and interest ing stories and sketches, such as boys and girls most like, it is pure in its tone and moral in its teach ings. It has struck tbe golden mean between tho goody good and the sensationalism oi the bad, and is therefore just such a periodical as will interest juveniles and is safe to be pnt in l&eir hands.. As the first of the year is near at band, parents could not make a more ap propriate present to their children than the-’‘Golden Days” for 1885. New Tear Cards.

A Bad Mixture, A man went fishing in the Flint river recently, and hooked a large wall-eyed pike. He begau to play him, when tbe fish, running nnder tbe boat, capsized it, got ia himself, and, putting on the man’s overcoat, started for New Orleans. This shows tho danger of going fishing in a State where the whisky it stronger than the veracity of the inhabitants. To New Orleans.
