Bibb'* primary took place on the 4th instead of the 8th as heretofore men tioned. The aucceaaful candidates are Rob’t Hodge*, Hon. A. O. Bacon and Jno. T. Boifeiullet. Both of the latter gentlemen have been to tbe legislature l*efore. Hon. A. O. Bacon is widely known as a man of |>owrrful intellect, and as a most successful and distinguished lawyer. He i* also a man whose honor ami integrity are almve reproach, am motig politician* he stand* purr and high-minded. Jno. T. Boifeiullet is one of the brainy young men of the state and ha* alway* held positions of honor and trust. Hi is editor-in-chief of the Macon Telegraph and every man in the city is his friend. Rob’t. Hodge* led the vote hy a large majority which was quite surprising shirring the fact that he i* only twenty* f«»ur year* of age, ami that his competi tor* were men of wide experience popularity.

Several prominent society young ladies are in the cast, and the j^rformance will no d<»uht he very creditable. Rev. E. W. Warren, a proudnent Baptist minister, has tieen seriously ill for the past week, but is to-day reported out of danger. He is quite an aged gen tleman ami much beloved, having been f»a*tor of the First Baptist church of this city for more than twenty-five years. A year ago I»r. Warreu resigurd the |*as- torale of this church to accept the same position in the Tat nail Square Baptist church, where the lalsirs are lighe better suited to Id* declining years.

Miss Holmes is a former Maconite and can number her friends hv the score in this city.

These long summer days afford so many leisure hours which are literally idled away in luxurious laziness that oue (Hwitively gets tired of doing mtthiug, and l.sik* alsmt for some amusement. There is always a scrap of unfinidird fancy work alsait the house that cau lie completed ami put in place as "a thing of lieauty,” and if it is not a tidy may lie a joy for awhile. But fancy work ami the everlasting stitches soon get tiresome au<l the only other resort is to find something to read.

We have oar office well fitted f»*r this sort of com petition and propose to do the work of thia section if we have to do it for noth ing, therefore following the method which we admit to be uubusiness like, but which we have been forced to in - self-defence. We ask every one who has job work to do to get prices at other offices and we will do the work better than others, on better material and at lower prices. We pay good prices for superior workmanship, we have f**ur presses ran by steam. We have added recently over a thousand dollars worth of new type and auchinery, and propose to do all we say. SHALL OUK GIRLS GO TO UNIVER SITIES ! There is considerable comment going the rounds of the pres* concerning the adaption of women to the courses at our uuiveniity at Athens. The Madi sonian takes this view of the subject: "We do not want them there at all. While it may be true that such custom obtains among the colleges of the north and west, to some extent, we have had enough of Susan Anthony, Mrs. Packard, Dr. Mary Walker, Mrs. Incase et al., to satisfy eveu the umst ardent admirer of the new i«lea of slow male and fast fe male. "If a woman can be admitted at Athens, why not let men attend Wealey- au, Lucy Cobh or the Georgia Normal and Industrial, at Milledgeville? Surely sauce for the goose is sauce for the gan der also. It i* argued that the daily mingling of the sexes in the class room in some indefinite sort of way modifies the niales; but do not the females suffer by the contact ?” We did not know until the Madisonian advanced the statement, that "the new idea” of a higher education for women made “slow male ami fast female.” That is pretty hard on the the boy*: we had thought they would hustle around and keep up with the girls. When the Madisonian asks why hoys should not, with equal propriety, 1m* admitted to girls’ school*, one «loe* not have to give one’s mental processes much of an im petus to form the natural query, "what boy that has the privilege of Yale, liar- or even the state University at Athens, would accept the entre to Wes leyan or any other girls school iu the country ♦ The Madisonian objects to university education for girls because Mrs. Anthony, Mn>. Israse, et al., without any such edu cation, have attained prominence. Poor logic that. Better not try to keep the girl* hack intellectually. With the pre sent outlook in the direction of our mas culine confrere in Madison, the country is going to need smart women.
