McDonough has more musical talent than any town »f its s : ze in the State. CeL McCollum has '.be most commodious law office in town. It is 20x80 feet Tub weekly choir meetings at the M P.

Wi had the pleasure cf meeting Judge Hah, ol Griffin, on our streets this week George Schaefer's provisioe trade is mo important branch of his extensive buein sa. Charlie Lin can give the Granger’s grip with as much unction as an old pioneer now. Rkv. K. Read is in town. He seems to stand the hardships of the itinerancy pretty well.

More cases have been returned to the April term of floury Superior Court than has been known for years. Mr. J. S. VVyatt sold his residence thie week to Mr. Nicholas Pritchett, possession to be given the first of October. “Tip” Mkriitt will stop his plow in the middle ol a hundred acre field to give u fel low a tilt in tftheological discussion It would jnat make your heart bound with delight to see the smile that “K ” Lovvorn wears when he is waiting ou a lady cub tomer. ,Charlie Boftwici say« Bill Boyce busted up the Grange in his neigbhoihood and now he’s trying to break down the guano monopoly. Mr H. L. Hunter, who has been in Hampton for a year past, left thh week for Atlanta, his former home, where he will re side in future.

Harper & Turxbk have been so busy unpacking new goods this week they could hardly find time to wail oo customers. Tiieir stock is truly beautiful. Always in season. A. Glaser has been receiving lor several days p.ist a beautiful line uf Spring goods, which he is offering cheap. Go and see him. Z I’. Mansok has the handsomest stock of Spring goods now that he ever bought. His shoe, hat and clothing departments were never so attractive, or mote complete. Give him a call. Mrs. Williams, the fashionable milliner of Griffin, has just returned from New York with a superb stock of spring millinery. Her annual spring opening will take place in a few days. It would do your soul good to see with what cvlerity D. B. Bivins and his efficient corps of salesmen can wait on a whole house full of customers at one time. This house 8e Ms an immense quantity of goods, audits trade is steadily increasing. Mr G. VV. McWilliams, who lives in the upper part of the county, made last year, with two plows, 1,100 bushels corn. 4 bales cotton and 100 bushels peas. Oue acre of com measured up 80 bushels. Tais is what might be called good farming. Otth. of our young litterateurs, in glancing through u-catalogue ol novels t he other day, came to the “Waverlv” series.

Henderson will receive to morrow (or by Monday at the lutes',) oue car load of wagons and buggies, of the newest, and most improved paftern and very best manu facture. Those in need ol a strictly first class vehicle would do well to remember this. From Mr J. A McKibben, who was io town this week, we learn that fire got out in the woods near Pecksville last Saturday and destroyed several hundred panels of fencing before the flames could be a> rested. A petted gale was blow ng at the time, and the work ot extinguishing the fire was ren dered doubly hard and {»erilous. A private letter from the Presid ot of Gi iffin Female College informs us that Ibis excellent school was never in a more flour ishing coudidon, and we are pleased to hear it. The Normal School—a nee feature ol this institution—bus also been patronized quite libeially, between thirty and forty young ladies (all graduates.) being in legu lar attendance A programme is uow in course of preparation lor the approaching Commencement, and it promises to be unu sually attractive. % From a gentleman who came down from Atlanta on the rigular passenger one night last week, we learu that quite an exciting scene occurred on the cars. Just belore leaving Atlanta a well.dressed negro man entered the first-class coach, and taking a seat, proceeded to make himself thoroughly comfoitable. His presence was roon dis covered, and when (be conductor cants around the indignuot passengers made com plaint, urging his removal to the second class coach The conductor replied that he bad no authority to put the negro oat oi the car, but would remonstrate with him and try to iiduce him to leave. Upon being accosted, however, the negro stubbornly maintain!d his B*-at, saying he had paid first class fare and was entitled to a seat in the first-class coach. Readily divining his char acter, and recognizing the importance of drawing the line somewhere, four or five gentlemen, who had watched the result of the conductor’s interview, now kindly under took to show him the way to the forward car. Well, he went, and stood not upon th« •nder of his going, his movements being greatly lacih'oted bv a vigorous appheation o l shoe leather, and io less time than it takes io ted it he had chared the space interven ing between Ihe two cars and was seeking a place of rest in ihe car to which he was made to understand he belonged. Mr. Editor: —(,’ommending your press man for his desiie to be a fast pressman, let me state for his benefit a little of my own experience in the some line. For several years—say from 1842 to 1845 I was pressman in the office in winch I served nsy time. The paper bad, for tboae times, a large circulation—some as near as I can recollect. This was near eleven tokens of 240 sheets I generally wafted off the edition in from ten to twelve hours — actual working time. The paper was about the size of the Atlanta Daily Constitution— an unwieldy she-I for a small boy to handle. During two of these years we did the State printing. Ol the Laws, 10,000 copies were printed on each form. It took nte three ai:d a half days per form, working an hour or two in the night. 1 did. however, repent*dly print the idition in less time. W hen pressed, 1 could print on an aver age five copies per minute for several hob re, and was tint'd repeatedly by disinterested persons. I lie press used was a large Wash ington, and a good one, kept, too, as neat »s possible Let jour pres-man persevere. What I and hui duds of others Lave done he tony do; but be will have to keep his machine well oiled, and himself in a condition fit to work lor a b.gh prize— superiority. An Old Prks&man. Macon, Ga .

The City Council bus beeu oo its muscle this week, trying and disposing of oa-es whiuli were enteieJ upon its docket. Salk day passed oil quietly. A number of people were in town.

On last W tdnesday ihe town commission eis Imd a lull force upon the streets, which were coon put in u suitable condition for traveling. Mr. H. C. T urner is introducing a cot ton planter into this maiket,. which our furunis say poyeß“es the 'equities of per ft-einess. tie is oficring them at remarkably low figuies. The hoys will have it that Wade Harper is s'irrhg np things lively in the farming line. The general appearance of thrift around his. lurm in the renovating of tii fencing is indicative of a good and indus trious farmer. Mr Harvr Carmichael Is miking ex tensive preparations tor court week, in o der that be may accommodate the guests who put up with him. He is occupying the Varner rtsidence, and those who try bis boarding ionise will be'hoiougbly convinced that he is a genial and clever host. Mr VV.G.
