He is also erecting a first class cotton gin near the mill build ing. —— Apology. The paucity of local news con tained in the Journal this week is largely occasioned by the fact that serious illness in the Local Editor’s family has occupied his time, and de tained him at home. We crave the indulgence of a generous reading public, and shall endeavor to make amends in the future. We desire and shall endeavor to make the local department of our paper interesting to our patrons. Fire! Fire! Insurance!

We call the attention of our mili tary company to the order of the offi cers of the Dawson Rifles to be found in to-day’s issue of the Journal. We would be delighted to see the boys thoroughly equipped and perfectly drilled in the manual of arms and the school of the soldier. We hear it suggested that it might he interesting to have a public parade during our approaching Fair, and to engage in a prize drill on the Fair grounds. It lias been rumored that if the company will turn out on that occasion, a private preni urn will be offered and presented to the best drilled man in the corps. We feel sure that such a result will he easi ly brought about, and we shall do our best to add this attractive feature to the Fair.

Mks. M. M. Anthony. Wild Lands. We presume a large crowd will be present on next T uesday to greet Sheriff Christie as he mounts the box to sell the wild lands ad vertised in the Journal for sale on that day. We learn that a number of the lots will not be offered lor sale as affidavits have been and will be filed alleging that the taxes on the landi have been regularly pdd. We re g-et the fact tha: some ofourci ix -ns bavehad to incur considerable expense and trouhle in arresting the sales of their lands which are advertised as being in default for taxes. Grave mistakes have occurred somewhere and in some way it reference to these lands and we think our local offinals are not to be censured at all as the Tax Digests are found to be generally correct. Sum • uiscrepinoies have been occasioned by the ow ora ot lands designating them as being in different dis tricts from those in which they are actually situated. Ample opportunities will be al lowed for corr Clin* any and all mistakes A number of lots will doubtless be soid on Tuesday and we antisipve some spirited bid ding.

Cotton is coming in rapidly and bringing a good price. Ws hope our subscibers, some of whom we have in dulged for a long lime, will now come up and satfie. We have uot called for money during the dull summer months, but now, that a bountiful crop has been made and is being gathered and sold, we hope all will come up and pay the small amount due us. Our Market. There in much cause for congratulating our town upon the prospects for an early re vival of business and increased activity in commercial circles. Within the past few days the “fleecy staple” has been peuringin upon us, and greenbacks and specie have been induced to see the light of happy coun mances once more. Last Saturday, the streets of our town presented the appearance ol a day in November, and our merchants did a first rate trade. Sixty five ba’es of cotton were brought to our town ou that day and the greater part of it rapidly sold for ten cents. The bulk of the tnouey received by oui planters for this cotton was credited on merchant’s account, and thus another class of citizens were made happy also. New good: have begun to arrive, and in a short while, the entire fall stocks of merchandise will be received and offered for sale. Our readers will doubtless learn more of this through the columns of the Journal. Our cotton buyers and warehousemen are determined to offer every inducement to the farmers lo bring their produce to our mark et, assuring them that the highest possible prices will be paid for cotton. Dramatic Entertainment. The “Protection Fire Company’’ of our city design giving two public exhibitions in the chapel of the Mule College on next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The ob. ject in view is to procure funds wit.i which to aid in purchasing the n- eessary uniforms for the members of the comrany. Tiie uni forms are an essential part of an efficient fire company, and a good outfit is quite expen sive. J/any of our boys are not able to in cur this heavy expense, and without it, the company would b> pooiiy eq lipped for doiog effective work in a fire. It is for the pur pose of procuring the needed equipments that our citizens are called on to expend twenty-five cents (the pric j of admission) on the evenings above designated. We trust that ail will attend, and that the company may be greeted with full houses each night 7hink of the fietce ravages of the “fire fiend,” and remember that in expending this small sum you may perhaps be preparing our fire company for the better protecting of your homes and your property. Some of the best histrionic talent in our midst will ap pear upon the s'age, and the selections made for the exhibitions arc most excellent. That, beautiful and touching drama “East-Lynne," with a good caste of characters, will be put upon the boards, and several capiial farces will rendered. A rare treat is in store for all who will g.ace the occasion with their presence, and a ltudaMe and deserving en terprise will be supported. The young la dies and gentlemen who take part in the en tertainment do so at great sacrifice of time, and verv much against their inc’inations, but actuated bv a desire to foster the interests of our long needed fire company, they have un dertaken the exhibition. Go out and en courage their efforts, and benefit your town; and our word for it, you will be made to feel light-hearted and happv for having done your duty, as well as enjoyed a splendid en j tertainment. Overtasking the Energies. It is not advisable for any of us to over task our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame o r knowledge, how many transgress this s lutary rule. It must be a matter of great impor tance to all who do so to know how thev can re .ain the vigor so recklessly expended. The remedy is neither costly or difficult to obtain. Hostettei’s Stomach Betters is pro curable in every city, town and settlement in America, and it compensates for a drain of bodily or mental energy more effectually than anv invigoranl ever prescribed or ad vertised. Laboring men, athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all bear testimony to it- wondrouslv renovat ing powers. It increases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the in jurious effects upon the system of exposure, sedentary habits, unhealthy or wearying avo cations, or an insalubrious climate , and is a prime alterative, diuretic and blood depur cot. al,4t The Mass-meeting last Satur day. A portion of the Democracy of Terrell county met at the Court-house on Saturday last for the 'purposo of selecting delegates to represent the county in the Congressional conven tion which meets at Camilla, on the sth of September to nominate a can didate for Congress.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds ol ailmeus are the natural result. The diges tion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nervous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the Liver. It has been suc cessfully proved that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with Dispepsiaor Liver Complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the Liver and Slom ach.
