Conference, held at this place, Mr. H. P.
Mclntosh wus elected Superintendent of the
M. E. Sabbatlt-scbool, with Rev. R. C.
Manley as AssiMant. They have entered

augurs well for the prosperity of the school,

On Saturday afternoon last the steam gin
of Mr. J. T. Burford.at Sunny Side, caught
fire and was burned to tho«round. He suc
ceeded, however, in saving Itis gins, his saw
mill, engine and cotton house, and bis loss is
comparatively slight. Two bundled dollars
will pay the damage, and he is insured for
five times that amount. We are glad to
know bis loss was not more serious.
The pleasantest event of the week was the

McDonough, Ga., November sth, 1879.
Mr. Robt. Adams had the misfortune to
lose both bis gin, grist and saw mill last
week by fire The fire was caused by fric
tion, as be thinks, and destroyed nearly
everything, including about four bales Of
cotton. His loss will amount to something
over a thousand dollars, do part of which
was covered by insurance. Mr Adaiis has
been extremely unfortunate daring the last
four or five haviug suffered a similar
loss on lour different occasions He has the
sympathies of the entire community.
A dvick to parents : "Whenever you go
to church take your baby. If there is any
one thing a baby appreciates more than
another it is a sermon. A pew seems to
iuspire it with more confidence in its howl
ing abilities than a cradle. A baby is some
times a great relief to a sermon ; Icud3 it
back-ground, variety, fancy. As an
antidote to a soprano, a baby udtn iuistered
in large doses is of gieat service. No
matter if all the people in church do look at
you, and you get red in the face in yoar
frantic struggles to pacify your dumpling.
Fame is little more than notice, and you
certainly have tbe latter, fake your baby
and be famous.”
On last Wednesday night a week ago,
while Mr. John Stewart and his family
were temporarily absent from borne, fire
broke out on the premises, completely de
stroying tbe dwelling houses in which were
all his household effects, and two and a half
bales of cotton in the seed The ravages of
the flames has left him destitute of every
thing in the way of household property. The
houses which were burned we understand
was the property of Messrs. T. 0. & J Q .
Nolan. We learn that a subscription list
for the benefit of Mr. Stewart is in circula
tion, and we hope that all our citizens will
respoud to the call, as he is an honest, hard
working mao, with a wife and ten helpless
children dependent upon him.
We shall revise our subscription book on
the first of January, and *ll those who are
in arrears for more than one year’s subscrip
tion will be dropped Irom the list. There
are a number of persons who have not paid
anything on tbeir subscription accounts since
they began, embracing in some instances a
period of more than three years. They are
all good mm, too, and would no doubt settle
promptly if personally solicited to do so ;
but it is not convenient for us to see
everybody, and unless they can contrive
«ome way to get the money to us we shall
bs forced to lose it. This we can ill afford
to do; and we know it is not their wish,
or intention, that we should. We have
decided, therefore, to make one more appeal
to those who are in arrears for subscrip
tions before we commence our new book,
and give all a fair chance. We should re
gret exceedingly to lose a single subscriber ;
but unless they pay up, or make some
satisfactory arrangement before tbe first of
Janaary, we shall be under the painful
necessity of parting with at least fifty
familiar names. We have now five hun
dred and fifty-two subscribers, and if they
would nav an promnllv-
not only to give a better paper, but would in
a few months tie able to giv“ a la ger
paptr, also, and one that would he a credit
to tiny community. Friends, pay np—we
need the tn >ney.
Our convnnr.ity was terribly shocked on
Friday evening la it by the report piat Mr,
W. II Thompson, a worthy farmer .Raiding
some three miles east of this place, h i com
mitted suicide. Upon inquiry it wi soon
ascertained that the report was true, and
quite a number of our citiz ns repaired to
tbe scene of the unfortunate occurrence to
take a look ut the body us it appeared when
found. When discovered he was lying in
an open field, with his throat cut front ear
t o car—an open fcuile held in his stiffened
grasp leaving no doubt in the minds of any
us to how he came to bis death. The cir
cumstances of this sad affair, so far us we
have been üb!e to learn, are about as fol
lows : Tbe deceased had been in a depressed
state of mind for several days, but as he had
spells of melancholy frequently it occasioned
no alarm on the part of his family. On
Friday afternoon he went out into the*Jftid
and was not seen again until discovered
some time afterward, dead. Coroner Boat
ner was no'ified, who held an inquest over
the remains, the verdict of the jury being
that "the deceased came to his own death,
by his own knife, in his own bands.” Mr.
Thompson was a good citizen and an honor
able man, and his death is deeply deplored
by aft. who knew him. He may have had
faults, but bis good traits overbalanced these,
largely as his many friends will testify. It
is altogether one of the saddest occurrences
that we were ever called oil to notice, and
we trust it may never be our duty to chron
icle such another event. He leaves a wile
uud several children.
ONE YEAR AGO.
TO THE MEMORY OF MINNIE NOLLEY.
’Twas so one day she crossed my path ;
I half believed her not of earth,
So sweet that wistful gaze, in vain
I tunmd away, for look again
I mu9t ; and then I knew too well
By that, in which e’en Iny the spell,
That hidden something told too true
That ne’er in heavenly gardens grew
As yet this blossom all too rare
For earthly soil and earthly air.
Ah sweet, shy flower, ’twas not for long
That thou didst mingle with the throng;
Yet thon, unconscious shedst a ruy
Of purity athwart their way.
As thou their guardian ungel wert,
Though now with heavenly armor girt,
I’d not iecull thee, though my eyes
Are dim with tears ; though choking sighs
Fill my sad heart with many an ache,
l’il still them all for tby dear sake.

How Watches tre Made.
It will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a Solid Gold Watch, that asidp
from tbe 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, nnd
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned In
javies boss’ patent gold
WATCH CASKS, this waste of precious
metal is overcome, and the same solidity and
strength produced at from one-third to one
half of the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature, as fol
lows : a plate of nickle composition metal,
especially adapter! 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 is a strip
of heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, etc , are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in there cases is sufficiently thick to
admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS vS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

WITH AN UNTARNISHED
Reputation for Fair Dealing 1
THIS may he called a fine speech by the*
who hare never taken the tronble t*
in»ke my acquaintance, or to study my mode
of doing business. Still, 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in fact to h« influ
enced in any way by a mere advertisement,
bat cordially invite all to call and investigate
for themselves, feeling sure I can prove that
I mean banines? and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fall
weather. Nothing but steady, low prices,
year in and year out, will ereate aod main
tain a trade such as I have had since 1 cow
intnced 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,
BOOTS. SHOES, HATS, CAPS,
PLANTATION SUPPLIES,
And a varied and choice assortment of
gem:kal merchandise,
Thanking my friends and patrons for their
former liberal support, I hope, by keeping
the best and selling as low ss the lowsst, to
merit a continuance of the same.
