SILENT ! 1 know my friends and cus tomers think that I am rather •ilent since my return from the North, lmt it was done on ac count of moving into my new mammoth store, and also in opening and arranging the .-lock. I will break the silence by stating that I have bought it very large stock ol goods, romprising Dry Goods, Furnish ing Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Jlats, and in fact everything |>crtaming to Indies and gentle men^ wear. I “struck” in lime the Halstead, Haynes & Co. whieli stock, was sold nt auction through the assignee. These goods arc* of the finest and best makes, and I will offer I hem at prices that will make you think that I have got them without buying them at all. I vote that Schley was entithd to the Sen ator, when bhe name d tho man who was in all respects competent and qualified, and the nnanimons choice of the people of .Schley, as w«s shown by her delegates, then that Choice should have been re spected by the other two counties. In all public legislation that Senator votes for every county of the Kiale, or in other words, every county is effected for good or evil by the vote of tho Senator from the 18th district, as well as all other Sen ators. Now if Col. Hudson had propos ed further, that alter both had with drawn, to allow a mass meeting of the I people of Schley or by a primary to ; s»y who was their choice, then if Schl y j had a second time, by a decisive mejun- up ( handlers ^ |y f called out Mr. Murray to abide such : choice in good faith it would have been | proper for Mr. Murray to have ncceeded | to such a proposition. Now you can I readily see that the people of the State | nr*> forced to abide the choice of other | people, to rule and govern over them in i all public legishuiun by senators and Quitman.

Hat mi k ii Station, Ga., Sept. 22, 1881. —Our Superior Court convened last week with Hon. J. T. Clarke presiding, than whom a more efficient utul capable officer does not grace the Georgia bench. Able, uliable and unswerving: indeed lie is a true specimen of tho “noblest work of God’s creation.’’ In addition to the local bar. were present Col. J. H. Guerry, Solicitor, Col. J. T. Flewellen, Col. Ar thur Hood, -fudge W. D. Kiddoo, of Cnthbert.nnd J. B. Bussey, stenographer lor the court. Xo cases of importance were tried from tho civil side, and only a few un important criminal cases were beforo the court. Jnt.

Mkkiiy MoiT/riin:, 8ept. 21.—I was shown cpiite n curiosity a few days since, by an itinerant Jack-of-all-trades. Being a skillful smith, he showed us some rocks in Western Decatur county, Ga.. contain ing iron, and welted and hammered until he obtained a small chunk of row iron therefrom. This ho wrought into a knife blade, six inches long, which be succeeded in tempering until it holds an edge equal to (lie ordinary pocket kniie. He made a handle for it, and, though rough, yet it answers very well for “bench knife,” and he uses it in belt cutting, etc., when working around .steam mills. The maker’s name is Levi Webb, and he is quite a genius in his way. I notice some progressive farmers nre engaged in turning under their stubble lands, preparatory tJ oat sewing, when wo get so we can keep our plows right the ydar round, instead of letting them walk, and rest on stumps and in fence- jambs, then we will begin to make rations. Hurrah for the Daily Uecoudku. May it meet with tho success it so richly deserves. Guess Eds. G. &. 8. still allow their children to play with their neighbor’s children, eh ? Two of the carp* nters engaged on the new court house building have been rippled. Mr. Ricks, by his foot being wrenched and ankle fractured in a belt at Wheeler Nornicn’s saw mill, and Mr. Joe. Bowse by falling ncross a sleeper, injuring Ids leg. I do not think tho inju ries of t ither are pcrmanent bat hoth hurts are exceedingly pnii.ftil and for tho time the men are disabled, their places being filled by two carpenters from Sumner, Ga. Dr. Watkins received the nomination for the Legislative race, but Patterson and Gay, are both running independent. Pattersons chances are fair if Gay will withdraw*, but at present he is not dis posed to do so.' In accepting tho nomi nation, Dr. Watkins laid down some solid truths, which our people would do well to ponder on. Heretofore, after electing a representative, we have set down and let him do as best lie could, never indicating our wishes ns to bis course, by mass meeting, petition, or otherwise. We are now to have u mnss meeting, whore measures will bo formu lated defining his course on thu grave questions which he, in common with other members, will bo required to settle during the coming session. A good many eases of intermittent fe ver. Doctors, I believe, call it malarial rated last night by a dual perform ance. At the Academy of Music, to witness its initiation were assem bled the elite and society of Macon in all thcr strength and glory. All the hcauty and chivalry were gath ered here, and everything passed as smoothly ns a marriage bell. The people began to assemble early —al 1 were anxious to see the cur tain first rise. At 8:20 the beauti- tul curtain majestically arose to the top of the building, uncover ing a scene well worth seeing, and the people were gratified. Vocal amateur talent occupied the prin cipal partof tho evening, which was one of pleasure. The entertain ment was a success, and cvcrybody went away pleased and in good spirits. Barlow A Wilson's Minstrel will occupy the house to night, and Lizzie May Ulmer to-inorrow night. The other performance wns at Ralston Hall, and was given by Lillie Clay’s Company of Ladiex Only, “An Adamlcss Eden.” The writer had not the pleasure of at tending their exhibition, but learn that the house was packed to its capacity witli a mixed mass of males, wiio psid their dollar to sec legs and not the performance, as the performance wns said to bo so poor that it cannot bo even third rated. It is said that though it was an Adamlcss performance, they had an Evoless audience. They will be in Americus to-mor row night, and thu samo thing may be expected as was here—old men, middle-aged men, young men, and boys to the front. Tho war of rates between the two rival telegraph companies here is without parallel; but all to the people's bouclit. It is said to bc almost as cheap to send by wire as by letter to principal points. You can send a bnndro-l words for fif teen cents, after six o'clock. (Jltciianii. Daws in, Sept. 22.—The colored order of Odd Fellows of Ilawson and Americus met here Inst Sat urday, formed in line, and march ed through the streets by the tap of the drum. The procession numlivrcd about 25 members, in uniform, and as many more who did not take a part in the parade, and many spectators, black and white. After the parade they as sembled at the court house, and were addressed by Ilcv. Elbert Walker and others. Everything was conducted in a quiet and gen teel manner. There was a quarterly meeting at the colored Metnodist church yesterday, llev. Joe Wood, l’re- siding Elder, preached a line ser mon at 3 o’clock p. m. to n large and appreciative congregation. The colored people, in this im mediate section, deserve a great deal of credit for tho manner in which they conduct themselves, their church meetings, Sunday schools, common Schools, and their business generally. They take very little interest in politics, and a majority of them, if they vote at ail, vote the Democratic ticket. Many of them ato land owners and are accumulating wealth. Rev. Howard Key, President of Andrew Female Collego at Cutli- bert, preached nn able sermon at our Methodist church yesterday, and returned home on the after noon train. A thunder cloud rose yesterday evening and gave us a nice little rain, which was very much needed. About sunset lightning struck tho Methodist church, knocking the point and the vane from the top of tho lightning rod, tearing the base of tho stccplo, shattering two col umns in front and one sill under neath, and tearing a hole in tho floor about thirty feet long. About 8 o'clock at night another rain fell, and some bail between hero and Bronwood. A biblo agent readily sold five fine largo family biblcs here to-day in about two hours. Mrs. Clara Armstrong,daughter of Mr. E. J. Harris, left to-day for Wildwood, Fla. The ladies of the Mite Society have raised one hundred dollars for the purpose ol having the Meth odist church re painted, inside and out, and have contracted witli Mr. J. B. Avant to do the work. Dawson, Sept. 23.—Mr. Dennis Brim, an honest farmer residing six miles south oi this city, had .-.u arm torn to pieces yesterday by his gin. Drs. W. C. Kendrick and G. W. Farrar went dosn and re paired damages so far as could be done by art. Nature and nursing will have lo complete the Job of restoration. Miss Muttie Vanover, of Cliicka- snwhalchee, is visiting the family of Dr. Fsrnuiu. build a bridge at the foot of Broad ■treet. Von will be surprised to know that the “pet aud pride” of Al bany, the Artesian well, U not even honored with a wooden en closure, but is left entirely open to the disgust of visitors and morti fication of residents and tax pay ers. It is a rendezvous for geese, hogs, cows and washer-women. A lady cannot approach the well with out rubber l-oots, run against by offensive negroes and insulted by obscene language, and still our no ble City Council refuse to act for fear of offending tho darkies, who of course are the principal tax payers—no, I mean voters.

A IIAIICASK Of”SHAKES. An Euibquki In tk* Middle Statu. Despatches from Michigan, Indi ana and Ohio state that those three Slates were slightly shaken up, and the people terribly frightened, Friday af tornoon. No damage was done. Buildings were shaken, win dows rattled, crockery and jars ware shaken from the shelves, and people made dizzy. A rumbling sound, like that of a heavily loaded wagon driven over a stone pave ment, accompanied the vibrations, of which thero were two, toward the South and back, lotting about fif teen seconds. In some places it caused a panic among tbo people, who rau out of their bouses ia fright. FIIOM AL1IAMV. A CARD.
