A serious conflagration Occurred near Mt.
Carmel yesterdav morning, by which the
residence and all the household goods of Mrs.
Adeline Foster were entirely destioyed. The
loss will exceed twelve hundred dollars—
nothing was saved. No one was in the
house at the time, Mrs. F. having spent the
night previous at the residence of her son
in-law, Mr. Bunn, and there is no doubt that
the tire was incendiary.
Those indebted to me are hereby warned
that unless they come up within 15 days
front date und tmke settlement, their ac
counts will be placed in the hands of an
officer for collection. Oct. 24th, 1879.

There are a greut many maimed Confed

blanks printed, and will send them to any
soldier wbo desires th>m. After filling out
the application CaptaiD Wright (who lost a
leg in the service) will draw the money and
send it to them, free of all charge.
Capt. J M. Williams left for Macon
last Tuesday night, to be prescut at the re
union of Cook’s Brigade, which took
place on Wednesday, the 29'b inst. He
was one of its most gallant members, and his
old comtades greeted him with a cordiality
that plsinly attested bis popularity, and tbe
high esteem in which be is yet held by the
Surviving members ol that distinguished
corps.
A -worthy Butts county larmnr, having
beard of the fancy prices paid by Covington
merchants fot cotton, determined to try that
market with a sample bale. He accordingly
selected <me of his best bales, put it in
charge of a trusty negro, and started it to
Covington one day last week. Arriving
there, it was classed as low middling, and
sold for 9% cents, that being the highest
price offered, Io addition to this, tbe buyer
knocked ofl 35 pounds for water, though the
farmer solemnly affirms that the cotton was
ginned dry. and was only exposed to the
weather during trip. The same cotton
was selling at Hampton on that day at
10%. The Butts county farmer thinks be
knows where to go in future.
In pursuance of an act passed by tbe last
Legislature, “creating a Board of Commis
sioners for the county of Henry, and for
other purposes," an election will be held on
Tuesday next for five Commissioners, to be
selected by ballot, whose term of office shall
be two (or four) years. The polls will be
opened at tbe uaua! voting precincts, and
the same hours observed as to opetiirig and
closing ae in other elections. So far, we
have heard of seveu only who have been
suggested for the office, viz : J. W. Roan
tree. W. A. Speer, R. A. Henderson,
J. A. O. Wyan, A. J. Dickson, C. T Zicbry
and John Grant. Of these, we learn that
Messrs. Grant and Zacbry have declined to
serve, which leaves j«*t enough for a full
ticket of all tbe names that have been men-,
tioned, and we bate no doubt they will be
elected without opposition. Remember, tbe
election takes place next Tuesday.
Among the survivors of Cook’s Brigade,
which did such vaiiant service in ihe late
war, tbe following members are honored
citizens of our county, and the mere mention
ef Ibeir uames will call to mind tbe recollec
each one bore himself with that valor for
which this gallant corps was evi r distil)
gti'shed : W. 11. Peebles, J. M. Williams,
J. C. Turnipseed, J. W. Turnipseid, Wyatt

John Stanfield, R >bert Jackson, E. E.

11. Hand and W. B. Pmrcr. The company
to which they belonged entered the service
in 1562. with neui one hundred men, and of
this number only seventeen returned. Dr.
W. 11. Peebles was elicted Captain of the
company, but wub sulisi quently promoted to
the rank of Colonel, lor gallantry on tbe
field, and placed in command ot the 44th
Georgia He served with distinction until
tlie close of the war, and if the confl ct hud
lasted a few months longer lie would huve
been made a Brigadier-General. We shall
ever delight to hooor these men tor their
heroic services in the past, and in doing so
only accord to them that meed of praise
which the truly biave deserve.

Upon the Death of Mr R. R. Spearmon. of
Dawson, Ga., Passed by Few Society,
Oct 4, 1879.

promising a son

How Watches are Made.
It will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a Solid Gold Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as n*pity und beauty are concerned In
James boss' patent gold
WATCH CASKS, this waste of precious
metal is overcome, and the same solidity arid
strength produced at from one-third to one
half of tbe usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature, ns fol
lows : a plate of nickle composition metal,
especially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of solid gold soldered one on each
side. The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result h a strip
of heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, b«z ds, etc., are cut and
shaped by suituble dies and formers. The
gild in these cases is sufficiently thick to
admit of all kind* of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; tbe engraved cases have h<*en
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.
For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus
