North Georgia Stoek and Fair Association. It will be seen from an advertisement in another place that the first fan- of this association is to commence on tne 21st of October and continue one week. Avery large amount is of fered premiums and great prepara tions are being made fur a fine show and lots of fun. Races will he a prominent feature of t -e fair, and some of the fastest horses of the country will be on hand. The great annual parade of Rex, king of the carnival will take place on the 25th. Read the advertisement and send to W. B Wreen. Secretary, Atlanta, Ga., for further information. The Albany Fair. The first fall fair of the Southwes Ga. Industrial Assoc ation will bn held at Albany, commencing on the loth of October, and continu ng five days. Liberal premiums are offered and every tiling possible will be done to interest and amuse visitors liiere wi l be horse races, mule races, foot races, boat races and all other kinds of races during the fair. Judging from their fair of last spriugthis will be th** fair of the season, and, as no fair will be held in **ur county we presume Terrell county, will send a large delegation to Albany. A e have a few premium lists for distri bution. Call and get them. Begin to prepare for the big fair. lake down some of Terrells fine stock, etc., etc-, Extraordinary Fanning. Some time since we had occasion to mention Dr. W. C. Paschal’s sev cm acre patch of upland corn, which is within the corporate limits of this city. The corn was gathered last | Buesday and measured forty-five [ bushels per acre. Now, we call that J good fanning. The Doctor made j enough corn on seven acres to run a tom- or five horse farm another year. A ho can beat it ? Trot in your fan ey patches, all ye fannes, and cortt : pare with the Doctor. Last year lie made, on a one horse farm, eighteen hales of cotton. This year lie will make at least twenty bales on ihe same farm. Again, we ask, who can beat it ? The corn and cotton was all raised within the corporate limits of Dawson. The Doctor is otir next candidate for Governor. Mr. Allen Lowrey, another one of our citizens, is a good farmer. He will make, on a one horse farm, over fifteen biles of cotton. This is firstrate farming, but not so good as Dr. Paschal.’s We advise our young farming friends, of Terrell county, who are dissatisfied with the poor lands of this section, and want to take the ad vice of Horace Greely and “go west,” to call on Dr. Paschal and learn a lesson. New Buggies. Gome all ye weary and heavy taxed people with old wornout Bug gies unto Judge 11. Rogers, and he will give you rest in a celebrated I.andls Buggy. The Landis Buggy is given up by all parties that have used them to be the best, neatest and most durable Buggy ever used in this country. N. G. it J. K. Prince Tobie & Rusticus. Ths controversy which has been going on in our paper for Iho past fvw weeks betwien “Tobie across the’ine” and “Rusticus” which commenced in fun, but was about to proceed to a mia-uinderst,ending, has been adjusted in a manner honorable and satisfactory to both parties. The cor’espondenee between them in reaching this adjustment will be published next week. The Concert Monday I light. Professor J. W. Beardslee, of Andrew Fe male Cos l> *e, generously came over and gave a music I entei tainmem. at the Court-house oil last Jfotniay night, half of ihe proceeds of which was given for the benefit of the vel'ow fever sufferers. We are sorry to sav that the audience in attendance was small, put can truthfully say that the entertainmeut was the best of the kind that we eve- attended, and this is the testimony of every one who attended. We .re not sufficiently acquiinted with music-to speak critically of the performance, but can sav tha' we never saw an audience better rntertaiued than on that evening The pro fesso:|- powers as a vocalis are surelv extra ordinary. To bear him sing “In the sweet by and by,’—the last piece sung, is alone worth the sum charged for admittance The pro gramme Was vtried consisting of sacred; sentimental and humot-us pieces There was nothing dull in the whole performance. The atti-ution and interest of the audience was caught at the first note and held u the very last. It. was the wish of many that, the Professor would remain and give another conceit on tee following night, this he could not do, but p omised to return sometime in the fu'tire. We think we can safely promise him a full house when he returns. Protessor Beardslee will teach music in Andrew Female College, commencing wiih the session that opens to-day. We congratulate Dr. Hamit-on, President of that institution, in securing the services of one so evidently well qualified or the position. Koport of Relief Committee. Messrs.

JA4 Gt. PARKS, Obarinanot R-ltet Committee. Dawson, Ga., Sept. 18, 1878. Letter from Sinitliville. Smithville, Ga., Sept. IG. Messrs. Editors: On the 13th inst., Ihe Vfuckilee Club, of Lersburg, and the Pi ce ox Chib, of this place, played a mutch game of base ball here upon the grounds of the laoer. A' the close of the game a victory was declared for the Phcsnix in a score of 52 to 38. Mr. James Dodson filled with ciedit to himself, as well as to the entire satisfac tion of ail, the poition of Umpire. The game was a very pleasant one. A majority | of the members ol both clubs, to jse a plain term, were green uu to the rules of the game T h e pitying of Messrs. Terry, Ware and Scarbrough is worthy of mention as being very fine for amateurs. We ask to be ex cused for this special mention, as wc do so without any disparagement to the other j plavera, for they all did well, considering their inexpe'iettce, etc. Our littie ’ourg is thriving, there being at present a verv fine school in progress, presi- ! ded overby Prof. W. W. Kennedy. Our . merchants are living in large stocks of j good*. The health of our people has, lor some time past, been quite poor, but we are hippy to say that it is last improving; in fact we know of no case now where the party is j confined to bed. ELGIN. The Stepping Stone to Health. The acquisition of vital energy is the -tep- , ping stone to health. When t.e system lacks vitality, the ra ious organs fl ig in j their duty, become chronic illy irregular, and disease is eventually instituted- To pre vent this unhappy state of things, the debili tated system should be built up by the use of that inimitable tonie, Hostetter’s Stora- , ach 3itters which invigorates the digestive j organs, and insures the thcrougn conversion of food into blood of a nourishing quality, from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the whole sy-tem experiences the beneficial ef fect. Appetite returns, the system is refresh* ed by healthful slumber, tbe nerves grow strong and claim, t'-e despondency begot ten of chronic indigestion and an uncertain state of health disappears, and that sallow appearance of the skin peculiar to habitna invalids, and persons defioittnt in vital ener gy, is replaced by a more becoming tinge.
