THE CONCERT,
The concert last Friday night was
a fine success and was greeted with
a good house. If there was a single
discord we did not detect it. We
heard a stranger say that he had
paid a dollai to shows that were in¬
ferior to it. We congratulate Mrs.
Gaines and all the actors, its praise
was in the lips of every body and all
were pleased. Every actor did so
well that it is impossible for us to
discriminate. The singing was ex¬
cellent and acting hard to beat.
The first play Gipsy Queen had its
origin with Miss Katie Williams
sister to Col. J. R. Williams of this

much her senior in years. We

Oglethorpe, Ga,, July 5th, 1886.
Mr. Editor: —Politics in this
section are not running so high
at this date discussions have to a
great extent subsided, all are great¬
ly and anxiously awaiting for the
arrival of the daily mails to hear
the results of the primary elections
for the nominations of a candidate
for Governor of Georgia. The re¬
turns from the various counties
seem to declare that General Gor¬
don is destermiued to be by a very
large majority the choice of the peo-
ple.W. H. Felton,the Telegraph and
Augusta Chronicle to the contrary
notwithstanding.
From the the continued rains, the
farmers are checked up in their
farm work consequently their crops
are destined to suffer from the grass
and the want of work. It is thought
by some, that the corn crops are
badly injured from the winds and
the cotton is suffering emmensely
and we are fearful die crops will be
short.
l’rof. O. Harris school closed out
its first term on last Thursday, and
will resume in August next, The
Prof, is a young man of merit and
has rendered efficient and satisfac¬
tory services as teacher, to the pat-
rons of the Oglethorpe High school.
We bespeak for him a more liberal
patronage during his next term.
Eld. A. J. Harvey filled bis Baptist regu- J |
lar appointment in the
church on yesterday at eleven a. m.

Presiding Elder P. S. Twitty and
Rev. R. F. Williamson are in Ogle-
thorpe oil their return from quarter-
ly meeting at Pine Level of this
circuit; awaiting for the arrival of
the train to take their departure for
their homes.
Some of our young men ami
young widowers are wearing long
faces in and around Oglethorpe, for
the absence of Misses Susie and
Anna Greer, who have gone to visit
relatives in Tennessee to spend the
summer months.
Miss Burtie Crutchfield the gov¬
erness in Mr.Emanuel Cook’s family
will leave in a few days for her
home in Kentucky.
Prof. O. Harris will leave on Wed¬
nesday next for the home of his
lather to spend the time of his vaca¬
tion. He goes to Macon to-day to

company with some few others from
this place.
The board of commissioners of
Roads and Revenue meet on to¬
morrow (Tuesday) and business of
much interest to the public at this
time will claim their attenion to re¬
pair and replace bridges that have
been moved and wrecked by the
freshets. A good time this to get
idle hands to aid the mechanics in
repairing mill dams and wast ways
that the floods have carried away.
Some able bodied negroes could be

daily in Oglethorpe, if they could
be induced to suspend marble play¬
ing which is their daily occupation
except a little time spent in base
balling. These are indeed cold gents
of leisure. With cherished hope of
a soon return of sun shine and fair
weather that the farmers of our
community may again rally their
forces in a resolute and determined
attack on the grass of their fields
that has so propicious a time for
growing the last week or two.
