AV e have a man in Dawson who has not shaved his face since 1861, but whoso board has been subjected sev eral times to tho keen edge of the scis sors, as well as having been burned off several times, still they are 29 i iuches long. The past week has been very pro pitious for cotton picking, and from , tho amount now coming to market, a j good deal must have been done. The crop will undoubtedly bo very short,! and we have hoaid one farmer say ho would finish picking in two weeks. 1 he eminent Dr. Pierce has labored with tho Dawson Methodist church for several days past, preaching and lecturing. At eleven o’clock on Sab- j bath last, ho made an appeal in behalf of tho Sunday School cause, of wliivh he is general Superintendent in tho South Georgia Conference, and 8100 i was subscribed in a very short time. In order that tho Collogo buildings may bo erected in the most modern style, it hau been determined by the 1 board of Trustees not to ho too hasty in their actions.

To thoir discomfort, a party of little boys gave chase, and got them ; so badly frightened they forgot to fly out of the reach of some of the 6tones t irown at them, and were consequent ly killed. Dealers in “stiok-fast” and other little tricks.of like and worse charac ter, aro hereby informed that tho con tractor for building the new juil has begun the work, and those expecting to spend tho w nter thero had better prepare comfortable clothing, for there will be no fire-place up stairs. Those stopping there will be well cared for, and the man that will stay down stairs will see that you do not tall out of tho window and hurt yourselves. We call attention of purchasers to tho advertisement of Messrs. Grim & Tucker. This is an old reliable firm, j and have just purchased a large and varied Stock of Goods, which they of for cheap for cash. Go and see them. There is only one objection to their goods—they last so long that you want new goods before you can wear them out. Do you doubt it ? We can show goods that have been in use a year, and from their looks will ho on hand a year to come. District llwh School. —From Pres ident Dodd we learn that, in order to accommodate those who desire to have their children enter this school, ample preparations in the way ot a comfort able building and improved school fur niture have been made, and the school will open the first Tuesday in Janua ry. Every department will be supplied with thorough teachers, and every ex ertion will Jbe made to make the school come fully up to the desired object In this connection we will add that good and comfortable board for stu dents can be obtained in private fam ilies at reasonable rates. All the force that can possibly be mustered are at work on the I air Ground, aud although the Building Committee may not bo enabled to got tho finishing touch put on, enough will be accomplished for tho meed ot praise to be awarded them. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, a Fair on even a small scalo would speak a great deal for Terrell county, since her finances havd suffered so much within the last year. Let every man put his shoulder to the wheel, and it will be a grand success. We suggest the propriety of having the entries in the different departments numbered, and the names of the par- j ties entering left with and only known to the Secretary.

Menasha destroyed 200 buildings, six mills aud all the shipping at the dock. The loss is $1,300,000. Futher ad vioes from Green Bay say 150 men were burned to death in a large barn, where they had sought refuge. Hun dreds of people woro driven :nto rivers by tho fire, where they were drowned. The Erie ratief train has arrived. A dispatch from Green Bay, Wisconsin, states that a steamer had just arrived bringing a report that 325 bodies wore j burned at Pishtig last night, and as I many more are still missing. Seven ty-five persons woro burned at Little Sturgeon Bay. The suffering through- | out the Noi\h is terrible. ■ Touching these fires, the Macon Tel egraph and Messenger has the following : ! Tho Wisconsin forest fires in respect to loss of life, are as terrible as the , Chicago holocaust. Five hundred and fifty are reported in the morning dis ' patches of this edition as burned to \ death, and many have perished in the ! rivers, whither they were driven to es cape a more frightful death from the j devouring flames. It is hard to say which presents the more startling re ' cord ol human calamity, the burning : metropolis of tho West in her fiery ag ' that vast forest and prairie 1 region of which she is the great mart ! —swept with all consuming flames — I destroying everything but the naked i and blackened soil, and driving the | terror-stricken people before the storm of fire to death by burning or drown ing. | Nor is it easy to say, in respect to these people, whether death itself may not be preferable to the privations and sufferings which await the living. — When we remember that just as the rigors of their severe winter are ap proachiug they are suddenly stripped of all shelter, food, cl thing, domestic J animals, and even fuel aud the uiute ' rials for building new habitations, it 'must be conceded that their situation is desperate in the extreme. It is hard to find a parallel to tho severity ot their misfortunes ; and as these Green Bay 1 and Lake Michigan forest regions were the great white pine lumber do ' positories of Chicago, the loss of those , supplies not only cuts off tho main source of business to the unfortunate lumbering population, but will pioba bly add to the difficulties of reconstruc tion in Chicago. Truly, tho West has been terribly afflicted this fall. ©lily Two !>i»ys in a Sunday School. A missionary of the American Sun day School Union gives the following from an address ho heard from au aged minister in Missouri: “I was about fourteen when I heard of a Sunday School at Rowling Green, Kentucky. A lady invited me to at tend, and, her manner was so kind, I went. She furnished me with a Npw Testament, the first I had ever seen, and hade me commit to memory the first chapter of John’s Gospel. On reading the first verso I was struck with awe. The name of God, and the sublime sontiment, so impressed mo that my siulul lips dared not pronounce them. With fear and trembling I com mitted the chapter, because of my promise, and the next Sunday went and recited it. But I left the Testa ment and never returned. But, dear fellow-parents, (he said this with much emotion) although these were tlio on ly two days I ever spent in the Ban jay school, I owe my salvation tt> that Sunday school, and to the Lind lady us the means.” . During nearly forty years this Sun day school band has been pointing sin ners to Christ. The United States Land Register at Tallahassee, announces that ull home stead entries made between the first of December, 1870, and the twenty-f ird lof march 1871, are declared null and 1 void by tho General Land olfice, there I heiug no receiver, at that time receipts ! given by tho register were contrary ito law All parties holding such re ceipts will have to pay the fees again l 0 rc -cuter the land. History of Chicago. Chicago is situated on Lake Michi gan, at the mouth of Chicago river.— The rivor affords the only good harbor ou the wost sido of tho lake near its southern extremity, and to this fact the city owed its original importance. The name is of Indian origin, aud is mentioned by aFrenh Jessuit missiona- Marquette, who first visited it in 1673. Tho town was first laid out in 1830, i and was organized in 1833, when it contained only twenty-eight votes.— In four years the population increased to 4,H00. The rapid progress of Chi cago sinco 1837 is probably unparallel ed in tho growth- of cities. As early us 1854 it was announced that Chica go was tho largest primary grain de pot in tho world. In all departments of trade it ranked among tho first cit ies of tho Union. The colossal for tunes amassed by many of its citizens were freely expended in building up tho city in a style of unsurpassed magnificence and granduer. Chicago rated as the fifth city m the Union, ac cording to tho census of 1870. Tho population as ascertained by the mar shals, was reported to be 298,977, but it was claimed to be several thousand more.— lndex. H orn on Iti iiiN. Widowers never die of grief. Just let them alone ! They’ll seou re-wive. | What did that young lady moan when she said to her lover, “You may be too late for the cars, but you can take a buss.” “You must not play iu tho street . with boys now, my dear ; you ure sev- J en years old,” said an old lady to her little grandchild. “But, grandma,” 1 was tho innocent reply, “tho older I> grow, tho better I like the boys.”- An old gentleman of 76 wanted to be married to a girl of 17. One day a friend surprised him by tenderly em bracing his intended. “I don’t won der at your astonishment,” sttid the young lady ; “you don’t generally ex pect to find old heads ou young shoul ders. ” | A young man who had become smit- ] ton with a Southwestern boauty, who was tho daughter of a blooming wid ow, after ti protracted courtship, plucked up sufficient courage to pro pose, wheu tlio damsel replied, “1 should he glad to accommodate you wero I not already engaged ; hut Ma wishes to marry, and I think she is just now without au engagement.”— The young man left for lu» childhood’s home.

The maxim that the voice of the people ig the voice of the divinity, may in gome <Mge°, be open to donbt, but the testimony ot honest and eniighted witnesses extending through a seiies of years, and all to the game purport, is worthy of credence, admit of no question.
