The site selected is near the Christian church, opposite Dr. N. T. Barnett’s. Strayed from my premises, about ten days ago, a butt-headed, medium size red cow. Any information concerning her whereabouts will be thankfully received. B. P. Thompson. Camp-mketinos at the Rock, in Upson county, and at Salem, in Nekton county, will engage the attention of oar Methodist friends this week. Hampton will be repre sented at both. T he young man who touched off the mule with a lighted cigar at the camp-groond last Saturday will have ample time for reflection before be musters up courage to repeat the experiment. Dcncan McCot, a yoong man on R. W. Warren’s place, picked 107 pounds of cotton in six hours one day last week. Considering the season, and the scarcity of the staple at that time, this might be called good work. The prospects for a new depot are loom ing up again. Mr. Maxwell, our clever agent, assures ns that work will be com menced some time this month, and we shall look forward to the time with dwvous anx iety. Messrs. Mitchrij, & Henderson have commenced the erection of a neat wooden store-house on the vacant lot next to Z. T. Msnson's. They will occupy it as a con fectionery and fancy grocery store when completed. A rrugious meeting will begin at Mt. Olive, uear Sunny Side, on Friday evening, the 12tb inst. Rers. Dr.’John Murphy and Jno. G. Coldwcll will conduct the services. The services are to be protracted if the cir cumstances inquire it. 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.” McDonough Locals. T. C. NOLAN, EDITOR. Mrs. Ec banks, of Pike, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Fannie Rogers, this week. Miss Lula Smith, of Forsyth, was one of oar visitors during the exercises of the camp-meeting. Mbs. Lucie Winn, a daughter of Mr. Wi Ilia Wood win, the Sheriff of onr county, is dangerously sick with typhoid fe%f. Mrs. I.rvi Cloud has been suffering sev eral days from a severe attack of sickness, but we learn at this time that she is consid erably better. Messrs. Bryan and Dickin, onr legislative representatives, gave the camp-meeting a pop call and hurriedly returned to Atlanta to resume their duties. Mr. J. B. Brown is engaged npon some repairing in and around fhe Conrt-boase, which will make it more comfortable in cold weather. Jack is bom on a job of that kind. On last Sunday morning, while Mr. J. H. McNeil was en route to the camp-ground, his horse became unmanageable and precip itated him out of bis buggy, severely bruis ing his head and face. Mss. Georgia Morris, daughter of Judge J. F. Glam, was buried on last Saturday. She had been « long and patjgnt sufferer from the effects of consumption, until death released her from all pain. She leaves a large circle of relatives to mourn her lorn. Mr. Geo. Green and Miss Ellen Overby were united in marriage by Rev. R. W. Rogers at the residence of Wm. Amis, Esq , on last Wednesday evening Their many friends hail the happy nuptia’s with a host of good wishes, and a long and prosperous and joyous married life. “Jno L Tye, of McDonough, a ta'euied and genial young gentleman, has just entered npon the practice of law in Atlanta. Mr. Tye read law in Washington City, and is well prepared for the active duties of the profession of his choice. We welcome him among ns, and hope that he will achieve tbe success which he certamly merits."— Atlanta Constitution. Mrs Poi.lt Rowan, an estimable old lady, and widow of Mr. Washington Rowan, deceased, was thrown from a vehicle near the camp-ground on last Sunday, terribly bruising and lacerating her lower limbs. The physician. Dr. Tye, who was called to her assistance, fears that he will have to re 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 and Brunswick extension had tore off tbe 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 our cemetery on last Sunday evening. A 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 cence, and her purity. In life she was the pride and joy of her family aud friends, and ber death has left an aching void in many a heart. May peace be to her in slumbers 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. The Shingle-roof Camp-meeting closed its session on last Wednesday morning, with a number of conversions and about thirty ac cesbions to the church. Dr. Evans bad the meeting in charge-, assisted by Revs. R. W. Rogers, Read, Adams, BowdeD, Harwell and others. On Sunday the people could not fiod room under the stand. A prominent 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 beast. Everybody seemed delighted that they could attend the meeting and for a trifling cost board himself and have bis 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” agaio next camp-meeting. 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.
