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 It would be creditable to much her senior in years. We saw a finer play; it was deep¬ impressive from beginning to If any of our sister towns can on them to play for them they wili never regret it. We hope will have the pleasure of witness¬ ing both plays again in the near fu¬ Tiie house was frequently down" during performance the actors of thei r great ap¬ preciation of thelruntirlng efforts to make the concert a grand success. singing was very fine. Miss Cheney sang the Gipsey which contained lessons all young ladles worth its weight gold. Miss Annie C.

Sears anil wife of Flor¬ ida, arrived in our midst last Satur¬ day on a visit to their sick son Dr. W. D. Sears who has been confined to his bed for over two weeks with chronic dysentery. The young Dr. is much improved since his father’s arrival. The many friends of the Sr. l)r. are glad to see him. They were accompanied by their little son Jodie.

All express themselves as being highly pleased with the concert. UOMMUXICATEI). 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. also at night. 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 attended the barbecue perhaps in 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 had to aid in these repairs that are 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.
