J. W. Maxwell. Around Town. Tim streams are booming. This is the peason of revivals. Goods at cost at the New York Store. Pi.t’viai, visitations have been immense. Wens ca the new buildings is progressing steadily. The cotton crop may be considered safe in this section oow. The meeting at the M. P. Church closed last Tuesday night.

Ellis that the watermelon contest is still open. Mt. Cahmkl claims the largest member ship of any church in the county. We enjoyed u pleasant call from Bro. Cloud, of the Jonesboro News, yesterduy.

Lumbrr for the new bridge at Mauley’s ford has arrived, and Mr. R. A. Henderson, the contractor, is rapidly converting it iDto a substantial frame work for the structure. One of our most popular young salesmen is the victim of a juke. An old farmer sold him a mule-hide for a cow-hide the other day, and he didn't know the difference until he tried to dispose of it. Lfe V\ kittle indicated his thorough goodness of heart by sending us a large, fine watermelon last Friday, and to say that it was appreciated would convey but a fuiot idea of the real enjoyment which it afforded. Mr N. F. Cox and family left this week lor Atlanta, where they will reside in future. His books have been left in the hands of Mr. J. A. Morris, who is authorized to col lect all accouDts and give receipts iu settle ment of same. A protracted meeting has been announc ed to take place at the M. E. Cburcb at Sunny Side next week. Rev. W. F. Smith pieacbes there to-morrow, and we under stand be will be assisted during tbe week by several visiting divines. The revival now in progress at Mt. Car mel M. E.

'J he altar is nightly crowded with mourners, and the prospect for a good meeting was never bet ter. We return tbsnks to Mr. J. L". Edwards for a bosket of most delicious peaches, scut last week. They were truly excellent, and found high favor with ihe editorial to th. We are also under obligations to Messrs. W. G. Knott and P. Fields for similar favors. Those sent by Mi. Fields were especially fine. The Star Saloon has been undergoing re pairs this week, and is beginning to look like a bran new flflW. The billiard room has been cut off by a pel it ion’, the walls and ceil ing tastefully decorated with paper, the counters newly puintid, and muny other im provements made. We have heard of twelve mill-dams that were swept away by the freshet last week, vz: Adams’, Gr fffn’s, Bernhard’s. Dailey’s, Combs’, in this county ; Mulaier’s, Gray’s, Weems’, Walker’s, in Spalding; Starr’s, Bennett’s, in Fuyette; and Murphy’s, in Clayton.

Bivins’, which he proposes to fit up as a bar-roofn and restaurant, and says he intends to make it second to no establish ment of the kind in town in point of at tractiveness.

In attempting to cross Manley’s ford last Saturday morning, Mr. Thomas Malone cume near losing a fine pair of mules, and narrowly escaped drowning himself. He was on his way to town, arriving at the ford soon after the hard lain of Saturday mor ning, and thinking there would be no dun ger, plunged in. In a twinkling mules, wagon and all weie swept down the stream by the fierce torrent, and only by a super human iff irt did he succeed in saving them from drowning. They were otherwise uuin jured.

McCollum and daughter will leave on Monday next for Canton, Ga„ where they propose spending a season with relatives uud friends. The recent heavy rains have done an in calculable amount of damage in this neigh borhood. Such continuous, heavy rains have not been known for years. Reports from the moie remote settlements are just beginning to arrive, and disaster by flood has been great everywhere. In some in stances whole fields of bottom corn were so badly da naged as to be almost a total los*. Little rivulets became rushing torrents, while the larger streams left their banks and flooded the whole country. The damage to mill property was immense, no less than II mill-dams being swept uway within a radios of about thirty miles. It will take two or three weeks to make the repairs necessary to put them in running order again. McDonough Locals. T. C. NOLAN, EDITOR.

There was a slim attendance of our citi zenry in town on sale day, as there was but little business to be transacted in the legal line.

There is a fine attend ance, and the chuich is warming up to revival work. The recent rise in the water courses dam aged to sorhe extent the bridge property of the county—most notably on Tussahaw creek, on the lower Jackson road, and on Walnut creek, near Mr, D. T. Copeland’s, The necessary repairs will be commenced at once. The bridge across South river, at Peach stone Shoals, gave way several days ago, and was precipitated into the water.
