LOCAL ITEMS. —We bad a heavy rain Monday night. —Are you all done on the prize watermelon question? We are all but aching to publish the result. Ain’t you? —Very much thanks to Mr. Everett Adams for a splendid two-foot watermelon brought in last Thursday. It was not entered for the prize, but it was good, —The Trustees of Mt. Vernon Academy are requested to meet at the Academy to-morrow afternoon at 1 o’clock. A full attendance is de sired, as business of importance will come be fore the board. On Monday some of our Methodist brethren started around with a subscription paper for purpose of raising money to build a church, mid in a few hours they had raised nearly half the amount necessary; and during the day they met with sufficient encouragement to Justify them in advertising the letting of the contract. Hce notice to contractors. Snaix.— —Last week Thomas Horn, colored, brought | to this office a set of snake’s rattles con- j tabling ten rattles, which he took from a snake which he had killed. Rut yesterday William j Kitchens brought us a set of fourteen rattles | which lie took from a snake lie killed a few | miles from here a short time ago. He says it j was live feet long, and about the size of the j calf cf his leg. —Mrs. If. W. Carswell sends us a few po- j tatos, of the while yam variety, as specimens of what she can do in two months. It was ex actly two months from the time the slips were set out until the potatos were dug. One that we measured wasllj, inches in ciremnferance, and the others very nearly as large. Me did not weigh them, but what was more important, we had ’om fried for supper. —Candidates should bear in mind that we lute a good job press and outfit fir printing election tickets, and will print them as cheap, and do the work as well, as anybody anywhere can do. There is no excuse for any candidate to go out of the county to havo his tickets printed. Any man who has no more county pride than to go out of his county to have his work done, when he gains nothing by it—saves no money, and gets no better work— is not fit for any public trust; anil that act ought to beat him—and will. —The many friends oi Daniel McGregor of j this place wore shocked to hear that he was ; stricken with paralysis while sitting at supper last Saturday night, since which time he has remained in a precarious condition, very nearly helpless and speechless. Uncle Mack, as every one calls him, is one of the oldest citizens of this place, and from his long connection with the public in thecaapaeitv of a boarding house keeper, lias made a host of friends throughout the state, who will be exceedingly sorry to hear of his sad affliction. —Hon. M. H. Mcßae, of Telfair county, paid ns a short call on Monday morning last. He is a gentleman of fine address and commanding appearance, with superior conversational abil ity, and is well up on the political situation, and the legislative wants and necessities of the times. He is a candidate for senatorial honors, with a good chance for election, and if elected, it is safe to say that the 15th district will have a senator of whom they may well be proud. He is a good man, and would make a good senator. Besides, he is very popular in his own county. It is nothing until the elec tion, and you must soon make np your minds npon these senatorial and legislative issues. The Earthquake.— Tuesday evening about 9 o’clock, our citizens were excited by the shock of an earthquake that shook things np quite lively for a while. The shock lasted for about a minute and a half, and was accompanied by a rumbling noise, something like that of a railroad train. It was sufficient to wake us up out of a sound sleep, to shake chickens off the roost, make dogs howl, and make the house creak and the windows rattle like thunder. It seemed, from the niose, to come from the sonth, and to pass off to the north. Tyn minutes later there was another, and then, in a second or two, a third shook. Thiß was without question the most severe earthquake that ha* occurred on the Atlantic coast of North America, within the range of history. Quite a munlier of onr old citizens say they never experienced anything of the kind before, bnt all comprehended what it was iustanly. No damage is reported, farther than the frightening of the nervous—and nearly ev erybody is nervous. —We got eight subscribers yesterday eve ning, handed in by 8. E. Bright, colored. Ho is a colored gentleman—a colored brother of lours—onr brother in black. At any rate lie’s all right. —The boarders at the Collins House made a break for freedom Tuesday night. They could stand being cooped up very well ’till the earth quake came, but that was the hair that broke the earners back’ Earthquake Notes. —Torn Smith rail over to parson linzo more’s “to see if they were shaking loo.” —Jack Collius>ays that “in a grout ; i many places there’s been a groat many 1 thiugs that was littler,than that.” I —Phil. Mcßae says it made hint think i | of God Almighty mighty strong. —At Mcßae & Pritchett’s it rang the ; bell, nud nearly scared the heller to death. Alex. Peterson nud Eddie Rogers [ didn’t feel it or hear it. When the; world comes to an end they won’t know j it ’til next morning. —lt shook the shingles oil the houso at Christopher Mcßae’s. Mrs. Carswell had said not an hour before it came, ou hearing her husband read an account of the earthquake in Greece, that she did wish a little one would come here. They say she don’t feel that way now. Jos. M. Smith's Appointments. A several days’ meeting to commence at Long Pond on next Saturday.
