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.

Special Notices, Trust wlmt Time lias Sanc tioned. 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 fore the woGd, innumerable prcpaiatious in tended to compete with it, have gone up like 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 flight. Is introduction produced a revolu 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.— Where tim game fish have failed thete is no ctiunce lor the “suckers. *’ FALL muiaery i I t.ikc pleasure in informing my customers and friends that mv Fall Slock of Millinery goods is no# complete, and I will be pleased to exhibit them to any who may call on me. fashion plates and the l**e«t designs of Ladies and Miscs Hats and Bonnets, can be seen at my Store, and orders for the same will be promptly fill, and in as good style and on as reasonable terms as can be had in this market. .4lso, a lull line of Notions, Fancy Goods, etc., always on hand.

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 ...
