Tee News says that Griffin paid more for
cotton last year than any town between
Macon and Atlanta, We suppose the above
mistake was unintentional, hence we take
the liberty of correcting oar esteemed coo*
temporary ; fbr it i« a well known fact that
Hampton has always paid as mack as any
town on the Macon aud Western Railroad,
and sometimes more. All we ask is simple
justice, gentlemen.
Me. W. C. Sloan, for many years en
gaged in the mercantile business in McDon
ough, moved over this week, and will in
future be identified with the business inter
ests of our city. He has leased the store
next to H. P. Mclntosh, and is preparing
to open up one of the largest and best
selected stocks of general merchandise ever
offered in this market. Hugh McDonald,
whom every one knows and likes, will be
with the house, and would be pleased to
have his friends call and see him.
As the up pnssenger train was nearing
the depot on Sunday last a lad named Willie
Maston attempted to get aboard, when he
fell and bad one of his feet crushed by the
rapidly moving wheels Dr. Tumipseed
took him in charge immediately, and by his
prompt and skillful treatment it is thought
the wounded member will be saved. Dr.
Westmoreland, of Atlanta, came down on
the afternoon train, but could do nothing
more than had been done already by Dr.
Tumipseed- The little fellow is doing very
well, considering the painful nature of his
injuries, and Unless mortification ensues it is
thought he will be out again in a few weeks
to the latter event amputation will become
necessary. No blame attaches to the rail
road company.
A yocnq man in this vicinity is the un
happy owner of a horse, and be (the horse,
we mean,) is afflicted with the most restless,
far-reaching, aggravatingly frisky tail that
ever adorned the caudal extremity of ani
mated creation. Returning from Jonesboro
not long since he was subjected to great an
noyance by the constant switching of the
horse’s tail, and to secure himself from fur
ther trouble iu that direction he decided to
tie the unruly member to tbe shaft of his
bukfty- With ihe aid of a stout cord this
was soon accomplished, and the plan worked
like a charm—worked so nicely in fact that,
in the midst of his cogitations upon the use
fulness of the equine tribe in general, and
the objectionable obstinacy of the aforesaid
appendage in particular, the down freight
bove in sight, almugf before he knew it.
Now this horse has s mortal terror of any
thing in the shape of railroad paraphernalia,
and usually evinces his alarm by moving off
in the opposite direction, at bis liveliest
gait. Realizing his danger, oar young man
jumped out and hastily undid the fastenings
which held the animal in position, but in
the excitement of tbe moment never thongbt
once of liberating bis tail This was an unfor
tunate oversight, for when the train came
dashing by, the horse started, and of course
the buggy followed. The bare idea of be
ing detained in this outrageous manner was
more than tbe horse could stand—in fact,
he didn’t stand, but lit out ioto tbe trackless
wild with tbe speed of tbe wind, and was
soon lost to view. Ao old farmer residing
in the neighborhood chanced upon thp track
of tbe fleeing animal next day and thought
a cyclone bad been along there Following
tbe course indicated by sundry and various
fragments of tbe once staunch vehicle, be
finally came upon a quadruped which .bore
some resemblance to a horse, but which,
from an air of general dilapidation, might
have been taken for almost anythiog else
His features were invested with a settled
melancholy, while a feeling of deep dejectioo
seemed to pervade his entire being. His
tail bang limp and lifeless as tbe loose end
of qpope, and, shorn of its glory, had more
tbe appearance of an immense bologna sau
sage than tbe gaily plumed, frisky thing
which had once been tbe pride and joy of
bis life. Moral—Never try to quench the
natural buoyancy of your horse’s tail by
anchoring it to tbe buggy shaft; it’s dan
gerous.
Died —On the 29th ult., after a lingering
illness, Minnie Nollev. Aged 25.
‘ O, snatched away in beauty’* bloom !
On thee shall press do poodernns tomb ;
But on thy turf shall roses rear
Their leaves, the earliest of the year,
And the wild cypress wave in tender gloom ;
And oft in (be moonlight's silver gleam
Shall Sorrow lean her drooping bead,
And feed deep thought with many a dream,
And lingering, pause and lightly tread.
“Away ! we know that tears are vain,
That Death nor heeds nor besrs distress ;
W ill this unleach us to complain ?
Or make one mourner weep the less ?
And thon, who tellVt us to forget,
Thy looks are wan, thine eyes are wet.”

deceased, was thrown from a vehicle near
the camp-ground on last Sunday, terribly
bruising and lacerating her lower limbs.

sort to amputation. She has many friends
who sympathize with her in her affliction!
Col E. W. Beck and Dr. Mitchell, the
pastor of the Baptist Chnrch at Griffin, were
in attendance at tbe camp meeting. The
sermon of Dr. Mitchell en Saturday evening
was pronounced by competent critics to be s
masterly efiort, and was highly complimented
and enjoyed by all who had the good fortune
to hear him. Our people seemed to be well
pleased with him. and would be delighted to
have him preach in our midst again.
While Charlie Speer was quietly sitting
in hie office tbe other day, calmly cogitating
the cost of a Tilden tie, about six feet square
of plastering fell into his reveries with a
crash that made him think that the Macon

north-east corner of the Court-house.
Fearing that his head might damage the re
maining plastering if it should fall, be has
had it removed aud uow sleeps in safety.
The remains of Miss Minnie Nolley were
interred in the family burying ground in

large concourse of friends assembled to pay
tbe last sad rites to the departed. She was
a most amiable yonng lady, and from child
hood bad ever merited the golden opinions
of her friends by her frankness, ber inno

until she wukes in that other and better
land.
Gov. Coixjcttt visited as on last Sunday
and addressed an audience of about three
thousand people. His sermon was greeted
with a hearty approval on all sides, and bis
warm words sank deep into the hearts ol our
people. Many of the men who bad followed
him in the wake of battle were present to
hear him, and their bearta bounded again
with wonted enthusiasm as his voico fell
upon tbeir ear. His allusions were chaste
and replete with devotion to bis Master’s
cause, and our people as with one accord
nnite in admiration of the mar. who could
spare time enough from other duties to ad
vance the cause of Chris*, and justly win for
himself the title of a Christian Governor.

cesbions to the church. Dr. Evans bad the

Rogers, Read, Adams, BowdeD, Harwell and

feature of the campground this year was the
tent of Mr. S. E. Dailey, which was selected
for the accommodation of visitors He bad
perfected bis arrangements beforehand, and
was prepared to take care of both roan and

horse taken care of. Hie tent was fitted up
with a view to comfort and convenience, and
those who participated in its enjoyments ex
press the hope that he will open bis “hotel”

Pre-eminent
as an elegaDt hair dressing stands Parker’s
Hair Balsam, deservedly popular for the
beautiful hair it produces, and its cleansing
and healing properties. Commencing at
the roots, it promotes a luxuriant growth of
young hair, and.unlailiogly rColored s?rav nr
faded hair to its original youthful color,
giving a soft, rich and lustrons appearance
of great bounty. It is pleasantly cooling to
the scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff, cures
itching and humors, and stops falling of the
hair. It is perfectly harmless, exquisitely
perfumed, never soils the skin or gums the
nair, and pleases everybody by its manv ex
cellent and attractive qualities. A patron
assures us that he has used 12 different hair
preparations and that Parker’s Hair Balaum
surpasses them all. Sold in large bottles at
only 50 cents and 81 by all first-class drug
gists.
Taking Time by Ihe Forelock
Owning events cast their shadows before,
and already through tbe mists of months the
gladsome holiday season looms clearer day
by day, filling the youthful mind with pleas
ing speculation, and causing mater fatnilia*
to consider in what direction she can exer*
cise a little additional economy, wherebv the
money for presents may tie forthcoming
when required. And just in the nick of
time there comes to hand a suggestion of
bow Johnny, and Mamie, and Flossie, and
Charley mny secure for themselves and by
their own exertions, the jack knives and
work boxes, and writing casos, and tool
chests for which their souls are longing; of
how mamma may get that book or parlor
ornameat the has talked about so Often ; and
of how, by their united exertions, they mav
obtain a present wherewith to surprise and
gladden the soul of papa. For the publish
ers of Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly are in the
field with the new premium list of their
iiiiigasine; and all that mamma or children
(or papa either, for that matter.) need do is
to send name and address on a postal card
to Messrs. Ebrich <k Co, of 287 Eighth
Avenue, New York, when a copy of the list
will cec mailed them tree, and they can ap»
predate for themselves the advantages offer
ed. The Fashion Quarterly so exactly fills
its place as a guide to economy in the house
hold. and its subscription price, only 50 ets.
a year,is so very trifling, that little difficulty
should tie experienced iu securing subscrip
tions ; and we have no doubt that thousands
will gladly avail themselves of the oppor
tunity thus present'd of securing some useful
article at k very moderate expense of lima
aud trouble.

THIS may he called a fine speech by tbosk
who have never taken tbe trouble to
nuke my acquaintance, or to study my mods
of doing business. Still, 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in fact to be influ
enced in any way by a mere advertisement,
but cordially invite all to call and investigate
for themselves, feeling sure I can prove tkat
I mean business and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but steady, low prices,
year in and year out. will create and main
tain a trade such as I have had since i com
menced business. No need of argument—
prices alone tell tbe story.
I have now in stock, and will continae to

DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,

And a varied and choice assortment of

Thanking my friends end patrons for their
