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.” TIT • 1 A LIMITED NUM- Inl HHi nrl ber of active > energetic ■ ■ nillllHlr anVaSßtr9 *° rn ~ ;, S’‘ ioa ■ I WlilUUUpleasant and profitable bus iness.
