They say tbe pitcher of the Fairborn
B. B. C. slings a hall with the force of a
catapult, and frrqnently knocks the bat out
of tbe batsman’s hands. This is mere rumor,
however, and we tiust our boys will not get
demoralized.
Mr. W.T. Morris, of Stockbridge, will,
we understand, be an applicant f or the
position of census-taker of this county, under
tbe recent (’eneus Act. He is well quali

The young gentlemen composing the Base
Ball Club met last week and lormtlly orgao

attending to other matters pertaining to a

We had a call this week from Mr. J. W.
Beatty, of Panthersville, Ga.
We have been complimented with a copy
of that delightful druma, “The Banner of
St Claire,’’ by Mrs. Clifford Niles, of
Griffin, and we unhesitatingly pronounce it
one of the finest productions of the kind that
we ever saw. It will be presented at the
Opera House, in Griffin, on Wednesday
evening next, aod if tbe dramatis persona
acquit themselves with as much credit as the
distinguished authoress has, we know it will
be enjoyed immensely. It would afford U 9
much pleasure to attend, aud we shall en
deavor so to do.
‘•Love’s Lament.”— From Ludden &
Bates’ Southern Music House, Savannah,
Ga., we receive, as their latest publication,
a charming ballad by John L. Hardee, of
Savannah, which we denn worthy of more
than passing notice Words of tender, bat
not foolish, sentiment, expressing a lover’s
rigrets that Dot (or him again can bloom
“love’s passioD flowers,” linked to a melody
that is in itself a lament over a “dream that
is done,’’ form a well nigh perfect song.
Mr. Hardee has written several successful
songs, but this is concedi d to be bis best yet.
The publishers will mail it postpaid on re
ceipt of 30 cents, or it can be bad from any
music dealer.
Tom S owns a saw mill—and like
wise a farm. He is moreover a tender
hearted, clever man, and by reason of this
fact falls easv victim to tbe machinations of
nearly all the sewing machine agents, fruit
tree men, patent churn fellows, etc., that
infest the country One day lust week, just
as the shades ol evening were settling over
the land, a travel-stained pilgrim drove up
at his gate and, alighting, commenced to
make himself at home, remarking by way of
introduction that be “represented the world
renowned and far-famed Blank Nursery,
which bad by fuir and honorable dealing
won the confidence and esteem of the aggre
gate popu'ation of the whole country, and
had introduced more and finer varieties of
fruits into the pomologicul world than any
other Nursery in the land”—and so forth
and so on. Our friend examined the illus
trated catalogue very carefully, and professed
to admire some of the specimens exceedingly,
saying the while that he bad long desired
to get some good trees, and if he only knew
the oues offered him were as good as repre
sented he would not hesitute to order a lot.
The agent solemnly assured him that the
trees were fully as good as represented ; that
his reputation was at stake, and lie dare not
make a missta ement, etc. Finally, after
much importuning, our friend appeared to
see the advantages ol the offer, and agreed
to take a lot. Hastily drawing his oider
book the agent asked him how Biany he
wanted, and prepared to take down the order
“Two thousand,” replied our friend. “Two
thousand!—ah! thanks,” said the agent,
gleefully rubbing his hands ; “what varie
ties ?” "Mell,” answered Tom, measuring
with his eye the dimensions of his interlocu
tor’s brogan, “if it’s nil tbe same to you.
I’ll take pine trees—9o feet to the first limb,
and big enough to square 14 inches to the
bottom. Got any?’’ No, he didn’t have
any, and so expressed himself, in language
that was more conspicuous for plainness than
elegance, and pointedly declining a cordial
invitation to spend the night, be hurriedly
gathered up his “specimen” books and lit
out into tbs fast gathering gloom, never
more to return forever.

The school in this place, which has been
under the direction and control of Mr.
Emerson Ham for the past few months,
closed its Spring-session on last Friday eve
ning, the 13th inst. fie has hnd fine success
during the entire term, ns evidenced by the
constant attendance of his pupils, and the
commendation of his patrons. At the open
ing of his school, for the purpose of stimu
lating the students to study, prizes were
offered for excellency in scholarship. Aftir
an arduous struggle it was announced that
Miss Julia Sloan wa3 the successful contest
ant, and tbe first prize was duly awarded to
her But when the records were compared
on the second prize it was discovered that
the decision lay between Master Percy
Bryun and Miss Annie Sloan. The contest
being too close to be determined, lots were
cast and fair fortune smiled upon our little
female friend, and her chivalrous contestant
gallantly and courteously acquiesced in the
result. Tbe vacation of the school will be
short, and the exercises will be resumed
about the first of next mniih.
