Mclntosh wus elected Superintendent of the M. E. Sabbatlt-scbool, with Rev. R. C. Manley as AssiMant. They have entered upon their duties with an earnestness that augurs well for the prosperity of the school, and we have no doubt they will soon infuse new life into the cause. 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 marriage, on Sunday evening last, of .Mr, H. L Hunter, of Rome, to Miss Nannie E. Pierce, eldest daughter of W. B. Pierce. E-q., ot this place. The ceremony wus per formed by Rev. Wesley F. Smith, in his usual impressive manner, and was witnessed only by a few friends of tbe family.

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.

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. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus trated Catalogue, and to see # warrant.
