Some say there was about 3,000 people iu attendance on Wednesday. They had no Sunday in it.

A clever clerk in this town es¬ corted a visiting young lady to church Sunday night and report says he got a good fanning, lie fan¬ ned himself till his arm .vas sore next day, when asked about it, said he was fanning the young lady. Home of our best farmers think there will not be more than a half crop of cotton in this section. They say there will be a good corn crop on red lands, J 11 consequence of so much rain in the corn growing sea¬ son, the corn on sandy la ud is very poor.

All go¬ ing by rail will be met tit Buena Vistn on Tuesday 28th. No arrange¬ ments made to meet the train but one day. The reason advertising don’t pay is, because there is no more of it done. We notice that our mer¬ chants who advertise are getting nearly all the trade. It is poor economy to buy goods and sit by them from day to day complain of hard times and moan and groan and sigh when a little printers ink would have you smiling and your pockets filling.

He has promised to furnish us a copy of their constitution and by laws. We will be very glad to fur¬ nish to our readers the objects and aims of the laudable institution. From the account he gives, it will be of great importance to our farmers, a protection to good labor and also a source of protection to the merchant. One of its objects is to encourage good reliable labor and to remove worthless labor, encourage all to pay debts and to make no nobts they can’t pay. Oglethorpe Dots. REPORTED BY ROBERT. Col.

Harp furnishes the Journal with the following recipe for making a salve that will cure carbuncles. He has seen it tried in a number of instances and has nev¬ er known it to fail to effect a cure: Take equal quantities of the barks of white oak, red oak,black jack and persimmon; take the root of black- haw, poplar, sassafras and white shoemake and boil in water till the strength is out, then strain it, return it to the pot and boil it down to a salve; spread the salve on a plaster apply it to the sore and let it re¬ main two or three days before chan¬ ging it. Let the patient take a dose of salts ev ry two or three days.— Dawson Journal. T.J.Hixson Esq., whose father had tiie same remedy, says add the root of black-berry briar. APPOINTMENTS. Hon.
