We have been requested to announce that Rev. Mr. Burnham, ol St. Louis, will preach at the Baptist Church next Monday. A Weekly reporter accompanied the Cumberland excursion last Monday, and oor readers may expect a racy description ot the affair next week. We return thaaks to Hon. B. H Hill for a copy of his late speech. It is considered by his friends here to be oue of toe fiuest efforts of his life. We regret to announce the death of Mr. John Koncle, ol this county, which occurred onlhe22d insr ,of consumption —aged 23 His remains were interred at Mt. Carmel tbe next day. We received a call from Mr. M. M Kline, of Atlanta, this week. He is travel ing in tbe interest ol Shole’s "Geogia State Gazeteer,” which is now in press It will be a valuable work, uo doubt. A bio singing at New Salem, Spalding •ounty, has been set down as one of the en joyments of tbe oear future. It would de light us beyond expression to hear ’Squire Ogletree pipe a few notes. Mr. Y. D. Simmons still clings to tbe honor of being the champion hawk-slayer of SpaldiDg county. He killed two at one shot tbe other day. and thinks bis neighbors ought to set up the chicken-pie. From a gentleman who was in Butts county last week, we leern that the residence of Mr. John Nutt caught fire from a de fective stove-pipe on the 22d inst. and was entirely consumed. He was fortunate enough to save most of his foruiture. Jonesboro will be enlivened by an ice cream festival at tbe Coleman House this evening, and Irom our knowledge of the rare social qualities of her people we feel safe io saying that it will be an enjoyable affair. We return thauks to tbe committee for an invitation to attend. The pic-nic mania is becoming general, and is not confined to our young people alone. ‘Ye old lolkes” formed a party yes terday and went out to North’s mill, where they spent tbe day most delightfully in fish ing, talking, ea'ing, etc. They brought back a fine quantity of fisb as trophies of tbe day’s sport. After the regular services at tbe M. E Church last Sunday an election was held for delegate to the District Conference, which resalted in tbe choice of Mr. D. B. Bivins as delegate, and Capt. W. P.

A petition for a bridge across Manley's ford will be presented to our Ordinary next week. The name of nearly every prominent citizen in this part of the county will be at tached to it, and it is believed Judge Lemon will immediately grant the order as prayed for. in which case work will sooo be com menced. Our Road Commissioners strongly indorse the petiliou. Griffin will be alive with fun next week The Filth Georgia Regiment will have their annual encampment then, beginning next Wednesday and continuing one week, and it will be the sigual for a general openiog of summer gayelies in that delightful little city. A prize drill, followed by a grand military bop, may be mentioned as the chief amuse ments, and we have no doubt a large crowd will be attracted thereby. Tbs toniest affair of the season in the way of a pic-nic has been arranged to take place some time next week, at Bennett’s mill, in Fayette county. It is gotten op under the auspices of the young people of Fayetteville, and will be an occasion of rare erjoyment, we know. Jonesboro. Fairburn and Hamp ton have been favored with invitations, and it is expected that each place will contrib ute its lull quota of pleasure-seekers. Pine Grgvk Lodge No 177. F. A.

Speak up, Charlie, John, and Bill, or you will lose your line. “The Paris 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 surface. They retain all the beauty, strength and solidity of the genuine article, and while costing but half the money, are guaranteed by special certificate to wear 20 years.

THIS may be called a fine speech by those who have never taken tbe trouble to make my acquaintance, or to study my moda of doing business. Still. 1 don’t ask any body to take my word, or ir, tact to be inlu enceil in any way by a mere advertisement, but cordially invite all to call and investigate lor themselves, feeling sure 1 can prove ihat I mean business and every word I say. Fair dealing helps trade better than fair weather. Nothing but steady, low prices, year in and tear out, will create and main tain a trade such as I have had since 1 com menced business. No need of argument— prices alone tell the story. I have now in stock, and will continae to 1 keep such articles as DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, BOOTS.
