Those wanting money on good terms read the local advertisement of Mathews and Burkhalter, Ameri¬ cus, Ga. Read our correspondent C., this week. It is worth reading, all the more because what is related, actu¬ ally oecured.

But upon examination of the freight rates I find it on amount to one-sixteenth, the differ- ence so small it will not pay any planter to haul his cotton from his own market.

Peacock Friday night. Miss Neta Prevatt read a most interesting piece on the “Folly of Swearing.” Miss Claudie Gay recited in a charming manner “The church organ.” She has elocution powers of superior order. Master Harry Stephens completely captivated us by reciting “What would echo say.” Miss Blanche Cockrell had charge of the music and delighted the club with some choice selections. In truth it was a joyous,occasion to all present. Our Editress, Miss Mary Horna- dy, read a very interesting story written by “One of the club.” The club was indeed fortunate in secur¬ ing Miss Mary as Editress of the Oriole. The club has its object mental improvement, social enjoyment and to repair the Ellaville Academy. Surely these are all “consumations devoutly to be wished.” The com¬ mittee having in charge, the festival reported about thirteen dollars as the amount received from that source. The club was invited to meet next Friday night at Mr.H. \V. Cockrell’s which invitation was unamiously accepted. May the club live long and pros- per. A.
