Information was received here on Monday
last of the serious illness of Mr. Wesley G.
Smith, at Stone Mountain, where lie was
visiting when taken down. His parents left
immediately for that placp, and have hpen at
his bedside ever since. We sincerely trust
he may sood recover.
The gin-house of Messrs. S. F. <fc H M.
Gray, near Sunny Side, caught fire yesterday
about 12 o’clock—presumably from a s'ray
spark—and was totally destroyed. It is
thought their loss will not exceed 8700.
'They were fully insured with Mr. S. H.
Griffin, of this place.
We return thanks to Mrs. Clifford Niles,
of Griffin, for a copy of the charming oper
etta, “Zuretta.” It is her most recent pro
duction, and is soon to be presented by the
Tennyson Club of that city, with a strong
cast of characters. We are anxiously await
ing tbe time appoiuted for its presentation.
Some bust-beaded galoot slung a brick
through one of our office windows Inst Sat
urday night. We are not much of a fight
ing man, but we’d like to mingle our digits
in the curroty locks of this pusillanimous
skunk for a brief season, and pummel bis
brainless knob to our heart’s content. “O,
wouldn’t we like to meet him !”
Mrs Polly Rowan, who was thrown
from her buggy about a moDtb ago and
seriously injured, (an account of which was
given in this paper at the time.) has been
gradually sinking for the past ten days, ami
her death is hourly expected. It was thought
at first she would rccovei, but her case took
an unfavorable turn, and her condition is
now considered hopeless.
Hampton is receiving less cotton than
usual this season. The mushroom is giving
away . Conyers Weekly
The editor of tbe Weekly has probably
been imbibing some of tbe “crooked. ” He
certainly does not talk straight. We dure
say Hampton has received more cotton to
date than Conyers will get during the eDtire
season.
A new type of measles have made their
appearance in this neighborhood, and tbe
natives are becoming alarmed. The mere
fact that you have had measles once is no
guarantee of safety at all; you are in as
much danger as if you had never been ex
posed to tbe cootagioo. Several members
of Mr Richard Moore’s family are now ill,
and we have beuid of other cases in did tent
localitie r.
Notice !—AM notes and accounts due the
firm of J B MrD-iOtel & Co. can be found
in the office of J B. McDaniel. Until fur
ther notice we will pay 10 cents for middling
cotton in settlement of same; and unless
promptly settled we shall be forced to the
disagreeable necessity o' placing them in the
hands of an officer for collection.
J. B. McDaniel & Co.
Sept 27th, 1879.
Cotton brought readily yesterday,
which was better than any other market wo
heard Irom.— Griffin New*, (Tuesday)
We regret that our brethren of the Newt
could not hour from Hampton on that day.
We paid the same price, exactly. Per
contra, on Wednesday last Hampton paid
9*jj. while our sister village was giving only
9(/9t-4. We were so informed by a citizen
of that place.
One of the pleasantest events of the sea
son was a donation party, on Monday night
last, at the Methodist parsonage. Many
valuable presents were made by the members
and friends of the church, all attesting their
love lor the pastor and his excellent family
by liberal donations. The whole occasion
was marked by the nto-t perfect enjoyment,
and will not soon be forgotten by those who
wete so fortunate ns to be present.
It is our painful duty to chronicle the
death of Mr. Marion Cleveland, a worthy
citizen ol Henry county, which occurred
quite suddenly, on Sunday lust. He had
been complaining for several days, but tho
symptoms exhibited occasioned r,o alarm on
the part of his friends until Sunday. About
noon on the day mentioned he lay down, but
in a few minutes appeared to be sufl ring
intensely, and asked to be lifted np. His
head was accordingly raised, when he expired
almost instantly. He was buried at ludiau
Creek Church the next afternoon.
The Flint River Association meets this
year at Union Church, Spalding county,
and will be in session lour days, beginning
yesterday. Speaking of this body, tbe
Gridin News says : “It is what might be
termed the legislative body of tbe Flint
Rivtr Baptist Association, and has jurisdic
tion over all matters pertaining to the inter
ests and wtlfaie of the various churches
within its limits, and these latter ure repre
sented in its meetings by delegates in pro
portion to their respective memberships.
Union Church is in a good neighborhood,
and the delegates and visitors will be hand
somely cared for.”
On Thursday next the 100th anniversary
of the death of Sergeant Jasper will be
celebrated in Savannah by laying the corner
stone of tbe Jasper Monument, accompanied
with appropriate ceremonies. The speech
will be made by Gen. Gordon. In view of
the impot lance of the occasion, nnd prompt
ed bv a spirit of liberality, tbe Central Ruil
road offers very low rates to those who may
be desirous of attending. 'The fare from
Hampton to Savuuunh and return will be
85.45, good ftom October Ctb to the 12th.
Any inlormutiou desired will be cheerfully
furnished by Mr. Maxwell, the agent at this
place. 'Tickets cun be obtained now.
With this issue our readers will find a
supplemental sheet, devoted to the mutual in
terests of Capt. John Keely, of Atlanta, and
all lovers of good bargains. As will be seen
by a careful perusal of the supplement, a
smaller space would have been inadequate to
give a correct idea of the magnitude of his
stock. Always wide awake to the wants
and interests of the trading public, bis stock
is one of the largest ever opened in the “Gate
City,” and will be sold at figures that will
amply repay ingpec'ion. Read list of speci
alties and prices carefully and you may find
something that will interest if not reward
you.
Prof Speir has resigned his position as
principal ot the Hampton High School, and
contemplates an early removal to some other
point, not now decided ttpon. 'Thoroughly
accomplished, in letters as well as ntannc s,
he has made many friends during his resi
dence here, and his action, indicated above,
will be gcnetally regretted. ' He will be suc
ceeded by Prof Victor Ham, mspeakmg of
whom the Griffio News says :
“We are pleased to learn that Professor
Victor Ham has agreed to take charge of
the Hampton High School, and will begin
bis work during the next month. Wc can
say to our friends in and around Hampton
that Mr. Ham has taught school at the Sam
Bailey Institute, and also during this year
has been teaching at llollonville. aid we
kuow him to be a worthy at d accomplished
teacher. Mr. Ham is a graduate of the
famous old and renowned Mercer University,
and took a high stand id that institution.
He was elected anniversarian of the Phi
Delta Society, and delivered an oration that
will be long remembered by those who heard
it. We feel that we are doing our Iriends a
service when we recommend Mr Hunt to
them.”

WITH AN UNTARNISHEII
Reputation for Fair Dealing 1
THIS may bp called a fine speech by thos«
who have never token the trouble k>
in ike my acquaintance, or to study my mode
nf 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 aud investigate
for themsefves, feeling suie I can prove that
I mean business and every word 1 aay.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but 9teady, low prices,
>ear in and jear out will create and main
tain a trade such as l have had since 1 com
menced business. No need of argument
prices alone tell the story.
I have now in stock, and will continue to.
keep such articles as
DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,
ROOTS. SHOES, HATS t CAPS,
PLANT AllO S SUPPLIES,
And a varied and choice assortment of
GENERAL MERCHANDISE.
Thanking my friends and patrons for their
former liberal support, I hope, by keeping
the best and selliog as low as the "lowest, to
merit a continuance of the same.
