Ykhtkrdat morning was almost cool enough for winter clothes. The Commencement exercises of Griffin Female College will begin next Sunday. Rev. R. C. Manley will preach at Mt. Pleasant next Sunday afternoon, at 3 o’clock. Let all of our citizens turn out and wit ness the match game of base ball next Thursday. Mr W. P. Moatr made this year, on nine acres, one hundred and eixty-one bush els of wheat. Thk match game next Thursday will be followed by a sociable at night, in honor ol the Fairburn boys. Cor.. McCollum has leased the dwelling formerly occupied by Mr. J. S. Wyatt, and took possession last week. Rev. A. E. Cloud will preach at Liberty Hill next Sunday morning, and at Lovejoy in the afternoon, at 3 o'clock.

Oup. confrere of the McDonough depart ment has shitved oft his mustache, and his upper lip looks as barren as the Great Sahara Desert. Lovejoy is now enjoying the fnll benefit of a well-conducted Sabbath-school. Rev E. Bays is Superintendent, and under his admirable management it is growing rapidly The Fairburn Base Ball Club everlast ingly cleaned op the Senoia Club in a match game played at the former place last Wednesday. This will be encouraging news to our boys. On Wednesday afternoon next, at 3 o’clock, Hon. Gustavos J. Otr, State School Commissioner, will deliver an address in Griffin on the subject of ‘ Public Schools.” The public ate cordially invited to attend. Wk are deeply pained to announce the death of little Johnnie, son of Mr. J.H. Hand, which occurred yesterday afternoon after a short illnesp. His funeral will take place this p. m at Mt. Pleasant. 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 fied, and bis application will be strongly indorsed, no doubt. The young gentlemen composing the Base Ball Club met last week and lormtlly orgao ized by adopting rules and by laws, and attending to other matters pertaining to a permanent organization. “Excelsior” was selected as a suitable name for the Clob, and it will be so known in future. “Sfeakin’ ov craps,” remarked one of onr pioneer farmers the other day, “I'm just a ieetle ahead ov ennybody that I’ve heerd on yit. Had three-quarters ov an acre in wheat, and when it was cut I bad to’ take it into an adjmin’ field to shock it—there weren’t room enough on tbe patch. Fact." The closing exercises of Prof. Speir’s school will take place next Thursday oigbt. Having failed in his efforts to secure an orator to deliver the annual address, he will close two weeks earlier than was antici pated ; and his patrons and friends are ear nestly solicited to visit the school any or every day Dext week, as so many of tbe pupils have withdrawn during the past few weeks it wiH be impossible to have tbe usual public examination. All are invited. Dikd.—On ihp 19'h inst., Mattie J., coo sort of B. P. Thompson. Aged 25. The deceased posoeaaed many admirable qualities, and wa§ beloved by a large circle of friends, who will raoorn her loss since rely. She leaves a husband and four small chil dren. Personal.—Capt. Christian, the efficient Tax Collector of Meriwether county, is in the city. Mr. A. W. Crooksbanks left yesterday for Knoxville, TenD., where he designs spending the summer. Miss Mattie Pierce is visiting relatives in Conyers. 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. McDonough Locals. T. C. NOLAN, EDITOR. McDonocoh is still reveliDg in dust and dry weather. Harvey Carmichael is moving around lively wilh his threshing machine. Mr. A. W. 1 urneb, Sr., has been enjoy ing some early peaches of tbe Beatrice variety. Misses Rosa Beck and Carrie Stil well, of Griffin, are with their friends in McDon ough this week. The equity cause of Hambrick vs. James was beard here on last Thursday. Judge 8. C. McDaniel was tbe referee in the case. We notice among tire selection of sopho more speakers for the approaching com mencement at tbe University of Georgia, the name of Mr. G. B. Tye, son of our fel low-townsman, Dr L. M. Tye. It is quite an hoDor, and we feel assured that he will do justice both to the occasion and himself. Mb. Wk Askew, our efficient Tax Re ceiver, was in town on last Friday and Sat urday attending to bis duties in this district. He has announced that be will be here again ou tbe first Tuesday in July for the accom- modation of those who have failed so far to give in their tax The revival at the Methodist Church is still progressing. Messrs. Spence of Cov ington, and Bowden of Jonesboro, have bem assisting the pastor in the services. A num ber of persons have been to tbe altar for prayer. On Wednesday night Rev. S. C. McDaniel delivered a fine discourse, which was followed by some excellent remarks on the part of Col. Jno. D. Stewart. The meeting will probably continue during the remainder of the week. 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.
