Tee all-day singing at Indian Creek Church was largely attended last Sunday. Prof. E. T. Pouud, of Baroesville, led the exercises. A sociable at the residence of Mr. A J. t Henderson, on Thursday evening of last week, was a pleasant winding up of the day’s festivities. W ith characteristic liberality. Mr. George Wolfe placed a double-seated hack at the disposal of all who desired to attend the pic- , nic last week. His kindness was much ap preciated, especially by the ladies. Ws bad an elaborate notice of the Sun- ; day-school celebration prepared for this issue, but the Grand Jury p>e«entments coming io at a late hour we were compelled to forego its publication, owing to the unu sually heavy press upon our space. Wb have received the May number of the Southern Firmer*’ Monthly and, as usual, it ia overflowing with choice reading matter— upon every subjict in which a farmer is sup i posed to be interested. Published by J. H Kstill, Savannah. Price £2 per annum. Wi return thanks to Mrs Q. R. Nolao, if McDoneugb, for a box of the finest, most delicions strawberries we ever ate. The largest measured four and one-half inches in circumference, and grew upon a vine that was planted in January. Who can beat this ? We have it from a reliable source that the Tax Receiver of Spalding county will not receive land at n less valuation than five dollars per acre. Perhaps our brethren of the Griffin press can inform us what author ity the aforesaid officer has for this arbitrary proceeding. Thk annual pic-nic at Stilwell’s bridge will tuke place to-morrow week, ITtb inst. Great preparations are being made by the good people of that neighborhood, and we know it will be a pleasant affair—in fact, we are so sure of it that we hereby warn Uncle Tun Barham and Judge Stilwell that they may expect us. An excursion party will lenve Hampton next Monday for Cumberland Island, where they propose spending a week or more in fishing and hunting. The fare will be $8 85 for the rouud trip, which is very reasonable, everything considered. Any information desired will be cheerfully furnished upon application to Mr. G. W. Henderson. Thk Weekly force acknowledge their ob ligations to the clever proprietor of the “Star Saloon” for a bottle of most delicious ice-cold champagne, senf this week. Though of California vintage, we found it to be equal in flavor to the most choice imported brands, and have no doubt it will soon be come popular with those who are partial to mild-tusted beverages. The “Star Saloon" has the exclusive agency for this place. It was oqr pleasure to attend a pic-nic at High Fulls, Monroe county, last Saturday, and if wc ever enjoyed ourself better any where the fact has entirely escaped onr memory. Besides beiug the most beautiiul and romantic spot that we ever visited, it is right in the midst of a neighborhood of the cleverest people in the world, who seem to take speciul delight in contributing to the p’ensure and comfort of strangers. We con sidered ourself pxtremely fortunate in receiv ing an invitation to dine from one of Butts county’s fairest daughters, and it is needless to say that we accepted withon* demur— needless to say, also, that we were enter tained in the most charming manner. We are not likely to forget our trip to High Falls soon, nor the pleasant dav spent there. McDonough Locals. T. O. NOLAN, EDITOR. Mr. Paoet, who has been ill for the past week, is out on the street again. Some of our boys are talking of going to Cumberland Island on a fishing excursion. Ocr cmintry friends are elarnorirg for an other concert. What say the young people of McDonoflgh ? We have received information this week that onr fishing friends are catching sbud out o' South river. The colored people have erected a new church upon the rums of the old building. It appears to be a more substantial structure The colored population pic-nicked at Dailey’s Mill last Saturday, and this com munity was enlivened with much ngger and mule. Bob Middlkb rooks, who was convicted of arson for the burning of Mrs. McDonnld's gin-house, has applied through his counsel for a new trial. Ocr town on last Saturday night was enlivened with some pistol practice, which, however, did not result in anything of a serious character. Mr. D. C. Dailey has commenced the repairs upon the Methodist Church. He will put up the job io a manner that will no doubt be pleasing to all. Most «f onr 'arrners have about completed planting their crops, and are preparing for a vigorous attack during the next six weeks npon ‘ General Crab-grass.” Bob Tomlinson and Quince Morris are the two last tacky individuals in a turkey hunt. They killed one apiece, the gobbler netting eighteen pounds. In the case of the State vs. G. M. Dod son, last week, the defendant was triumph ant lj acquitted by the jury, who temained out just long enough to write a verdict of “not guilty.” The Superior Court held its session for two weeks, durirg which time a good deal of legal business was beard and disposed of. The dockets are clearer of case* than they have been for a number of year*. A distressing accident occurred ■ *ome four miles noithwest of town last Saturday evening, in the neighborhood of the Price plantation, by which z eoloied woman by the name of Alice Stilwell lo«t her life. A pair of mules attached to a wagon in which she was seated becoming unmanageable, ran away, throwing her forward, wbeo both wheels of the heavy vehicle passed over her body, from the eflects of which she died in about fifteen minutes. She was a respectful and industrious woman and well thought of by all, both white and colored. She was interred in the colored cemetery on last Sun day, in the presence of a large concourse of her owu ruce and a goqdly number of white people. i. .. . . i “The Pari* Exposition Has been a source of wonder to many, and of profit to some,” among the latter being the manufacturers of Boss’ Patent Stiffened Gold Watch Cases, who received a medal. These Cases are made of two plates of solid gold overlaying a plate of composition metal in such a manner as to present only a gold surfice. They retain all the beauty, strength and solidify of the genmne article, and while costing but half the money, are guaranteed by sjiPciHl certificate to wear 20 years. When visiting your jeweler ask to see them. It won’t cost anything, and you will be surprised at the bnnd=ome designs and elegance of finish.

Reasons WHY THE STUDEBAKER WAGON IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD I Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowedjto remain there from 3 to 5 year*. 2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest improved machine ery, and put together bv the boat Wagon Mechanics in the world. 3d Oar Patent Bevel Kdged Projecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con sequently saves the felloe from weuring, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road. 4th. The Thimble-Skeins are made of select iron, and weigh from 4 to 25 pounds per set more than any others mad*, and therefore do not break. sth. Ti e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes »x»ct pattern of tha inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfeat running wagon. 6th. It is the only wagon in which tha Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, henc# thvy have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefully examined by persons purchasing. 7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit oa an irsD lathe, and are then pressed into thp hub bv hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect and tight fit, preventing the box from ev«-r working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak in between the box and the bub, as is the case in most makes of wagons where the boxing is wedged in. Bth. It took the highest award of merit Bnd the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex position for excellence of material and superior workmanship in competition with tha world. 9th. The Studebaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per sonally, and do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally tho case in large factoriea, hence the sufierierity of their work over all others. 10th. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Team sters will tell you so! Dealers who have sold them will tell you ao !
