Henry county furnishes quite a num ber of beef cattle for the Atlanta mar ket. A large herd were driven through McDonough last week, aud every few days they are seen in small er numbers on their way to the slaugh ter. Instead of decreasing cattle rais ing, it seems that the no fence law is rather an advantage. The editor spent last Monday in Griffin and found the merchants of that thriving city as busy as bees. Not withstanding the unprecedented bad weather, everything has been kept lively and all are continually on the move. It is an acknowledge fact that Griffin has gotten to be one of Georgia’s very best towns. McDonough sub alliance held its stated semi-monthly meeting at this place last Saturday afternoon.

Jt being the first opportunity of the season to ad vance farm work, they have embraced it by taking advantage of the open weather. The winter’s supply of coal, laid in by some of our people, is now nearly exhausted. This fact is causing the afore mentioned good people to pine for bright, sunny days. Oh, ye early gardner, von have our sincere sympathy, for we realize that your cup of woe is already full to the brim and overflowing. Verily, he that liungereth for early garden truck this year shall not be satisfied. Tom Stewart never does anything by halves. Realizing the pleasure af forded, in the hot and sultry days of July, by a large and spreading shade, on last Tuesday he had a full grown tree transplanted in front of his store.

One of the most pleasant society events of the season occurred at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the hos* pitable country home of our fellow citizen, Mr 11. W. Carmichael, about three miles from the city. At this hour his daughter, Miss Nannie Carmichael, was united in mar riage to Mr. Charles Beeland, of Ma con. The ceremony was impressively per formed by Rev. M. F. Duncan, accord ing to the lights of the Presbyterian church, and was witnessed by a large number of relatives and invited guests. The young couple were the recipi ents of many beautiful aud valuable bridal presents that were both useful and ornamental. The groom is a jeweler by profes sion, and is a young gentleman of ster ling qualities, and whom to know is to highly esteem. He has been very suc cessful in business, but his greatest suc cess is secured in wiuning for a wife such a charming and estimable young lady. His wife, as Miss Carmichael, by her amiable disposition, sweetness of character and devotion to home, has drawn around her a circle of warm friends and ardent admirers, who join in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Beeland the fullest measure of success and every prosperity of life. The young people will make their future home in Macon. The Night Stars. One ol the most enjoyable meetings of the Night Stars literal club yet hebl was that at the residence of Mr. T D.

The rapid increase of the club inspires much interest aud its bright prospects are very encoura ging- An excellent program was rendered at the last meeting, at the end of which, by unanimous request. Mr. Jack No land repeated bis original song—to the delight of a number of new hearers, as well as those who had already listened to it Instead of the regular meeting next Friday night the club will enjoy a fine oyster supper, served at the beautiful residence of Col. T. C. Nolan. This invitation was heartily accepted by the members of the club, who look forward to the occasion with eager anticipations of its pleasures. Following is the program arranged for the regular meeting; three weeks O O hence: Short quotation from each member in response to roll-call. Reading—Selection fi@m Bill Nye —Col. W. A . Brown. Quartet —Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Nolan, Ii S. Morris and Col. T. C. Nolan. Recitation—Miss Flora Turner. Flute Solo—M. C. Lowe. Reading—Story—Miss Macie Speer. Vocal Solo—Miss Annie Wells. New Knterprlse for I.uellu. Plans are being perfected for the erection of a large steam ginnery at Luella, which will make that station a much more important one than it uow is. Mr.T. J. Brown will be the propri etor of the new enterprise, and it is his purpose to have it in operation for the next crop. He will purchase a very large engine, in view of putting up one or two additional enterprises, which are to be developed later on. We are not in possession of full par ticulars, but enough is known to war rant the assertion that it will be quite an advantage to that section, which is to be congratulated upon securing the enterprise. Heed The Warning. It is not infrequently the case that itching pimples and irritating “cat boils” are the forerunners of larger boils, or the more serious carbuncles. Iu variably Nature puts out her danger signals, and they should be heeded at once. The pimplt s and little boils show that the blood is not in a good condition and nature is trying to relieve the sys tem. A few doses of Swift’s Specific at this juncture will accomplish wonders. The eruption will be healed and the system cleansed of its impurities. The modern paraphrase of the old say ing, “A stitch in time,” etc., is that “Timely stitches will save nine pairs of breeches.” The modern form has a touch ol humor that doeg not modify the truth of it. In that vein, we may say that a course of Swift’s Specific prevent- ills terrifie. I am overstocked on No. 1 aud No* 2 Shingles. Will sell cheap for cash, or on time to good parties.

Will Be Extended to Atlanta, so says the Constitution. We clip the following in regard to the extension of the G. M. & G. Ky from the Atlanta Constitution of the 15th inst: The Georgia Midland now appears as a probable connection for the Sea hoard Air Line. There are indications that ano her railroad will be running into Atlanta before many months have passed. The Georgia Midland is making ar rangements to build a line from McDon ough to connect with the Georgia Car olina and Northern at one of two points, and Atlanta is pretty sure to be chosen. At first the idea was to build from McDonongh through Covington and Monroe, to connect with the Georgia, Carolina aud Northern at Athens This route has been carefully consider ed, and at one time it looked like a pretty sure thing, but a project to build from McDonough to Atlanta and con nect with the Georgia, Carolina and Northern here seems to have the pref erence. It is only twenty-eight miles from McDonough to Atlanta by that route and this is only about half the distauce to Athens. The same eastern connection is made and in addition the business of Atlanta is reached and con nections are made with all the roads centering here. This has about decid ed the Georgia Midland to come here. Major W. S. Greene, chief engineer of the Georgia Midland, Columbus Southern aud the Alabama, Georgia and Florida, was in the city yesterday and gave this information. Sunday School Association.
