It is generally believed, though, that somebody in Bob Warreo’s neighbor hood will be tbe fortunate party. Nous verront. It is our sad duty to announce tbe death of Mr. Walker Welch, bf this county, which occurred on Saturday last, after a short ill- Dess. He was a most estimable yoimg man, and bis death is deeply deplored by all whose privilege it was to know him. Thk match game of base ball between the Liberty Hit! god Sonny Side boys last Sat urday afternoon wns interrupted by a heavy shower of rain. Tbe game closed at the second or third ioning, with the understand ing, however, that the contest would be renewed at an early day. Mr John A. Ellis, who resides in the lower part of this county, is now io his eighty-tbird year, yet we doubt if there is soother man in the whole State whose vitality has been preserved to a greater degree, or one that is possessed of more energy. As au evidence of this fact be built filty-six panels of fence one day this week, sod exhibited aa little sign of fatigue oo tbe completion of the job a* might be expected in a man of forty. In fact, be seemed to enjoy tba exercise. Where is tbe octogena rian wbo can come op u> this * Personal. — We were pleased to meet in oor sanctum this week Mr. A. C Smith, the genial agent of that “xeellent daily, the Atlanta Dispatch. We also h»d a call from Mr. Fred Horton, of the Mxlille Georgia Argus. Both were here in the interest of their respective journals. We are glad to k-arn that Mrs. B. F. McCollum and daughter have both improved in health sioee their arrival in North Geor gia. They are now at Fort Buffington. Mr. Geo ScliSD r er returned home yester day. APOSTKOPHK TO THK WATERMELON. Como to the mortal as lie site Up n the dry goods box and sips The nectar from the juicy lips— Come to the youngest os he flits Across the bigh and peaked fence And moves with ecstacy intense Thy charms from the native vine, And thou art terrible ! O August-born monstrosity ! Incarnate colicosiiy I Beneath thy emerald bosom glow. Like glittering bubbler in ibe wine, The Iwid fires of deadly Woe, And from thy fascinations grow The pain, tl e cramp, the pang, the throe— And all we fear or dream or know Of agony is thine ! About a year ago our citizens were made happy by the rumor that tbe Centrul Rail road designed building a new depot at this place, displacing the shabby looking affair wbieh has been made to answer ibnt pur pose for the last ten or fifteen years. ’I bis romor was given unqualified credence when, a tew weeks later. Mr V\ adley appeared in person and opened (ingot iat ions for the pur chase of a building site ; but nothing at aji bas been done in tbe way of improvement since that time. Why tbe project was aban doned, no one knows. The necessity for'such a building Is certainly as apparent now as then. Our little city is constantly growing in business importance, and receives more freight and ships more cotton than any other town on the road, except Griffin and Bartles ville. It is also a distributing point for McDonough, Locust Grove, Wynn's Mill, and other places, and the present building is plainly not equal to the purpose for which it was intemled We should like to hear front Mr. Wadley on tbe subject. A first-class scandal is agitating the usually quiet neighborhood of I’ossahaw district just now, to the infinite disgust of the good people of that chaste community. It seems an attempt at blackmailing was recently made by a woman residing in that particular locality, in which she was aided •nd abetted by her husband, who, singularly eiioagh, is a minister of the gospel. The affair was brought to the notice of the cburcb, and in view of the previous high standing of the parties concerned, and the circumstances of the case, it was thought proper to investigate the whole matter. In accordance with thi* resolve a cammittce was appointed, who have bern actively engaged for two or three weeks past io collecting evidence, and they will make their report to-morrow. It is expected the case will develop an amount of richness hereto fore unknown in the annals of church trials in Henry county, and may furnish material for a new sensation. At any rate, the bottom facts will be reached, and if nothing elae is accomplished the public mind will he set at rest. McDonough Locals. T. C. NOt.AN, KDITOK. Db G. P.

Their families consist of foar children—three girls and a boy to each couple. There is some thing quite remarkable io this similarity. Riockbridge district claims title to these happy families.
