Sad. sad I The Catoosa Springs, near Chattanooga, on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, will be one of the most populai resorts in the Snath this summer. The season was opened with a grand ball last Tnesdny evening, which is said to have been a most brilliant affair. We return thanks to Mr. John E. Poole, the clever manager, for an invitation to attend. From a private letter, addressed to a gen tleman in this plnce, we learn that, last | week, a gon in the hands of a daughter of Capt K. L. Cook, of Jasper county, was accidentally discharged, the ball taking effect in tbe head of Miss Cook, a sister of Capt. C., producing a dangerous and it is thonght fatal wound. She was not expected to live at last accounts. Pis* Grove Lodge No 177. F. A.

Those who are compelled to travel the Cut-bank Ford road will be rejoiced to learn that the Ordinary has issued an order to the Road Commissioners of this district, author izing them to construct such a bridge across Manly’s ford as in their judgment may be deemed necessary. The Commissioners im mediately repaired to the spot and dre* a plan af the proposed structure, and are tak ing the necessary stppa to have the work commenced at an early day. Sealed pro posals will be received until next Thursday, when the job will be let ont to the lowest bidder. See notice elsewhere. Last Sunday Mr. C. P. Alexander, who lives about four miles from this pluce, made a mistake that came near costing him his life. He was searching among several bot tles ol medicine for a remedy that he desired to administer to a sick member of bit house hold, and unfortunately came across a long forgotten bottle of corrosive sublimate. It had no label, and not knowing its contents he tasted 1., and became deathly sick at once. I)r. Turnipseed wa9 immediately summoned, who administered proper antidotes, and suc ceeded in a little while in restoring the gen tleman to bis normal condition. Cotton blooms are becoming plentiful now. The first that we have seen was *x bibited by Mr J. A Johnson, who invaded our dormitory lust Monday morning and roused us from pleasant dreams that we might gaze on the “first of the season.” We had just turned over, with the intention of finishing our nap, when Phil Roberts, of Lwvejoy, came blundering in with another. Phil is a worthy colored man, and good farmer. In about an hour Mr. William Quick, of Fayette county, brought still an other, and said he could have brought it a day earlier. In about two months we hope to see a bale of new cotton. Oor citißcns in the lower part of the county will be glad to learn that a mail route has been established between this place and Worthville, and that they are at last to enjoy the privileges of a regular mail. The route will be opened October Ist, sod mails wifi leave Hampton regularly od Friday of each week, and return next day. The offices included in the route are as follows : Lowe’s, (new office,) Locust Grove, Wynn’s Mill, Sandy Ridge BDd Worthville. The follow ing schedule will be obeerved; Leave Hampton Friday, at 7 a. and arrive at Worthville 4 r x. Leave Worthville Sat urday. at 7 a. x., and arrive at Hampton 4 r. x A petition for the opening of the above route was forwarded to Washington by Hon. W. T. Dicken more than a year ago, and by persevering in bis efforts he has at last succeeded id getting it permanently established. The thanks of our citiz'ns are due him for the interest be has manifested in the matter from the beginning—iud fo r the ultimate success of # what seemed almost a bopelesa undertaking, especially. Tax match game of Base Ball yesterday excited more interest in this community than a Presidential election, and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd, of both sexes. The game was called at 17 minutes past 4, and lasted two boors and a half. We should like to make special mention of the fine playing of several gentlemen engaged in the contest, but tbe lateness of the boor for bids, and we mast content ourself with a simple statement of the result.

Miss Julia Ci.orD, of Kingston, attended the services at the Methodist Church here on lust Sunday and met with many of her old ftiends. A correspondent of the Griffin News seems to think there is some division in tbe county over tbe proposed bill establishing commissioners. Col. Hamp Bhyans claims to have threshed out five hundred bushels of wheat the other day with a two-horse power en gine Give him the belt. The presentation speech of Miss Rosa Btck to the “Barnesville Blues” at the late military contest in Griffin was highly com plimented by tbe Henry county visitors. Some of our old “Dixie" boys will handle the ball and hat in the contest with the Fairburn clob at Hampton this week. Though out of practice, we feel assured they will hold their own in the tamo. Mr John L. Tyn has returned home from Washington City, where he has been for the past twelve months pursuing a eonrse of legal study. He is looking remarkably well, and his many Irienda welcome him back to Georgia. The public road between McDonough and Hampton is needing attention badly, espe cially near tbe rocky hill. Tbe road com missioners would do well to attend to this matter at once, a* there ie some complaint in regard to it. Misses Fannie Turner, Emma Knott and Ida Brown left here on Wednesday last for the District Meeting, which convenes at I’homaston. We commit this charming delegation to the tender mercies of the gal lant young men of Upson county. Excessive Heat and improper food at this season of the year may speedily carry you to the grave.
