Fair Ghoinds. —These grounds are
now tbo center of attraction. If thero
are any who doubt the grand success
of this worthy enterprise, let them vis
it the grounds and see what has been
and is being done. We learn that the
counties South of Terrell will be large

The veritable Mark Moses was in

Accidental.—A pistol in the hands
of Mr. J. L. Willis, of our town, was
accidentally discharged, the load tak

who was acting in the capacity of

Enterprise.— The now brick build

are now rapidly going up. Mr. Drink
water, tho contractor, put tho first
brick and mortar together on Monday
morning last.
Mr. Cobb, contractor, has begun
work on tho buildings of Messrs. Boy
less & Griffin, Jones &. Harper and T.
J. Hart, and says the brick work will
bo completed in a mouth’s time. This
will boa very handsome block when
finished.
We direct attention to the adver
tisement of Mossrs. Farnum, Sharpe
& Cos. We have examined their new
stock iu their new store, and our judg
ment is that it cannot he surpassed in
Southwest Georgia. All thoir heavy
goods aro kept in the basoment, and
it would astonish any oue to look
through their immense stock, and wo
believe small buyers could mako as
good bills with them as where more
and larger pretensions aro made.
It was our pleasure to listen to a
most excellent sermon on Sabbath
last, by Rev. J. K. Armstrong. His
theme was “decision of character,’’and
after illustrating what this character
istic had accomplished in the spiritual,
military and political worlds in past
ages, made the application to our day
and time. If there is an element iu
our natures that should be cultivated
in these degenerate days, it is decision
of character.
Mr. Drinkwater deposited among
other relies in the North-east corner of
the buildings being erected by him, a
copy of tlie Dawson Journal, of Oct.
5 th. May the roof of theso buildings
shelter the heads of many yet unborn,
and in the far distant future, when we
shall all have ceased to drink-water,
may their walls stand as monuments
to the skill and worth of the mechan
ics of the nineteenth century.
Remarkable Family. —There is a
family in Calhoun county, consisting
of husband, wife and five children,
that boast of tho following remarkable
features in their history : The husband
and father never wore a suit of “store
clothes,” never took a doso of medi
cine, never drank a drop of liquor,
never ate a meal’s victuals at his own
house cooked by a negro, and never
took but oue chew of tobacco. Tho
wife and mother lias never worn any
other than a home-woven dress except
on Sundays, and has never taken any
medicine. Tho same facts relate to
the children as to the parents. An
other fact might bo stated —that if you
eat at tho old gentleman’s tablo, you
will bo convinced they have been thor
oughly educated in the culinary de
partment.
Little Johnny Teasly died on Sun
day morniugjast, and but for tho hu
mane feelings of somo of the citizens,
would have been coffined and buried
by his mother and little brothers It
matters not, however, with tho little
sleeper by what influences ho was
surrounded while on earth, and it is
perhaps better that ho should not havo
lived to imbibe the corruption afloat
in the land.

The mnxim that the voice of the people
is the voice of the divinity, may in some
cases, be open to doubt, but the testimony of
honest and enlighted witnesses extending
through a series of years, and all to the same
purport, is worthy of credence, admit of no
question. Upon such testimony the reputa
tion of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as au an
tidote and cute for many ailments is based
During the twenty years that it has been be

rockets, and come down the extinguished
sticks. Meanwhile the progress of that in
comparable touic has been swift end steady
—always upward and onward like the eagle’s

tion in therapeutics, and it proved to be one
qf those salu'ary revolutions that cannot go
backwards. 7’o-day Hostetter’s Bitters is
oue of the most popular remedies in Chris
tendom, and commands a larger sale than
'any oilier medicinal prep nation, domestic or
imported, on this side of the Atlantic. Asa
cure for dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous
affections, gtuieral debility, and as a prevent
ive of epidemic fevers, it takes precedence of
every other remedy. This fact should teach
the ambitious country dealers who endeavor
to foist their local abortions on the public in
its stead, how futile their small attempts to
c• jole the community must necessarily be.—

Established in 1852—Formerly at Double Wells.
ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF
The GvisweoMd Gin*
rpnE UNDERSIGNED, having resumed tho manufacture of the above Gin,
* pnpeso to make it what it was before the war—“l’ho favorite of the
South.” Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guar
antoe. IVe have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent
in the Northern shops, in »ddition to some of the best workmen from the Bbop
of the late Samuel Griswold Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight years
apprenticeship tinder E Carver & Go., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who
was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, from the eom
meueement of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Giu, until i's suspension,
is again at his post, aud will give each Giu his personal inspection bifure it
leaves the shop.
In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, we desire that they
liould notice the improvements wo offer, which are substantially as follows
PORTA BLE ROIiL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of
which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen the quantity and improve
the quality ot lint. A ! so, to gin damp or wet cotton; to alter the picking or
separating the lint from tho seed—either to take more lint off, or lees lint from
the seed, ns circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Bex and
a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to lot out all the seeds and bulls
iu a women', and is veiy easily managed.
THE GITST BRUSH
We meko, cannot bo excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles aro all
drawn in by a cord, and tho tiinb' r is all selected from the best luinbor, well
seasoned • and every brush is made peifectly fire and rut proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES,
Are both oscillating and plain. Ci-n furnish either, as may be ordered. We
lino them with the best babbit metal.
GIN BJsJWS.
We make all the saws that we use from the best Engli-h Cast Steel, an dot
any size that may bo disired. We employ, to superinton J and manufaeitu
our saws, one of ihe best saw-ma’:ers iu the Boutn, and oar machinery for the
manufacture of Gin Saws cauuot be excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MIBB
We are the only successful manufacturers of this important and useful in
vention —the Cotton Gin, with the Colton Seed Crushing Mill uttached. I
will hardly be necessary here to allude to Pie immense saving and economical
use of crushed cotton seed a manure. We received a gold medal as a pre
mium, from the Fair of the Cotton Plan er’s Convention, held in Macon, Ga.,
1800, for the best Cotton Seed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to cru-h
the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. Wo refer to some of the many
certificates that we have on tho subject.
TRIAL OF GIN».
We keep constantly on band seel co’.ti n, and every Gin is tried before it
leaves the shop-old cr new ones.
REPAIRING OF OBD GINS.
We have a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in
the country, and make repairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do
well to send in their old Gins and have them made us good as new, at a much
less cost than anew one can be bought lor. Baud on your orders and old
Gins early ...
Wo aie also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Sons to receive orders orriera
