—On last Sunday a cert ain young man of our

concluded to walk. Making and early start and
a few near outs, he was seen about one o’clock

—Henry Warren, col., lias been appointed
routo agent in the mail service—we did not learn
upon what road he would be placed. President
Arthur, under the lead of such men as Farrow,
serins determined to fill all the Federal offices
in Georgia with negroes, this being the third one
appointed to office in a short time, Such a
course will inevitably ruin the Republican party
if it is persisted in, as it will have a tendency to
drive every dooent white Republican out of the
party and solidify the Democrats.
—In to-day’s issue will be found the advertise
ment of George R. Lombard & Co., of Augusta,
and we take pleasure in calling the attention
of our naders to it. We have known this firm
and have had business dealings with them for
years, and have never known them to deceive
anybody, and we fell safo in saying to our rea
ders that they may rely upon what George R
Lombard & Co. promises. Sometime in the near
future we propose to give a full history of this
firm, whioh is more like romance than fact.—
At the present, however, we must content our
self with a mere notioe of their advertisement.
THE FAIR.
The was a very good a'tendance of
the members of the Burke County Fair
Assooia ion on Tuesday morning, in the
office of the Town Commissioners. Much
interest was manifested, and on a call of
the roll it was ascertained that one hun
dred and thirteen shares were r< pre-
sen 1 ed. The fo 1 lowing officers were
elected: President, \V. A. Wilkins;
1st Vice Presideu’, S. A. Gray; 2d
Vice President, W. B. Jones; 3d Vice
President, A’ G. Whitehead : Secre
tary, J. D. Munuerlyn; Treasurer, J.
H. Mackenzie.
Power was granted the officers to
eleot an Executive Committee of five.—
A motion was made by Col. Munnerlvn.
that the President appoint a committee
of five to prepare and publish a resolu
tion notifying the public, that while rac
ing would be encouraged, no betting
would be allowed on the grounds. This
resolution received but two votes The
members, without an exception, appear
ed to be opposed to betling, and the
resolution, it is thought, would have re
ceived a numsrous vote b it for a ser
mon delivered on last Sunday. How
ever, it is very evident that, while racing
will be a leading feature in the exhibi
tions, both the Constitution and By-
Laws will prohibit and punish betting.
The Association adjourned to meet to
day two weeks.
A good set of officers have been clect-
i d, the members appear to be in earnest,
and there i9 no reason why it should
not become oie of the best agricultural
societies in the Sta'e.

Last night, just as we had laid aside
our local pencil and sought our humble
couch, tli© strains of sweet music broke
upon the “stilly night.” and we arose te
fiind that our young friends, S. A. Cor
ker, J. D. Ashton, jr., S. Y. Bell, C.
A. Caldwell, JohnHammil, G. K. Pat
terson, and J. S. McElmurray, were
payiug The Citizen a grand ovation in
the way of a serenade. Boys, we tender
you or thanks. And just here jet us
say, that Waynesboro has as noble
hearted set of young men as anytown iu
the United States. True as steel to
their friends, respectfull to age, gener
ous in disposition, sociable and genial
in manners, and attentive to business
they form an exception in favor of the
Waynesboro ‘'boys” not to be found in
any other town iu the State. And all
the boys are our friends.
—About 3 o’clock Thursday night.
Mr. Jim O’Byrns caught a chickei.
lifter after his last chicken. O’Byrns
pulled down at him with his shot
gun, which caused the thief to drop
his chicken, and O’Byrns says he
made the best time across Corker’s
cotton patch he ever witnessed.—
O’Byrns now has a charge of No. 2
shot in his gun, and is anxious for
another chance. We warned thi
thieves sometime ago that the citi
zens of Corkerville kept their guns,
loaded and their powder dry. Some
fellow will get hurt up there yet.
—In another column to-.day will be
found the advertisement of Dr. J.
Dennis, of Augusta. We have known
Dr. Dennis for 30 years, and have
often used his medicines many times
during that period, and we can con
scientiously say that we have never
known them to fail. We mean more
than the mere notice of an advertise
ment by what we here say—we mean
to tfll the sick where they can find
relief. Write to Dr. Dennis, tell him
what is the matter, and our word for
it he will relieve you if it is within
the range of physic to do it.
—A party of genial gentlemen
(they were not all boys either) went
out to Miller’s mill on Tuesday, ard
made a gala day of it—feasting upon
the best that swims the water. The
fun ran high, and the catch was so
great that all the darkies in the neigh
borhood had a mess of what was left
after the fishermen were all satisfied
to carry home. Well, we are glud
to hear that somobody can enjoy
themselves even if our duties prevent
us from participating. P. S.—Tho
old men did not see the snake-bite
medicine.
Dr. Holleyman stepped in on us a
morning or two ago, and put us under
obligations by presenting us with * lot
of very fine vegetables. First, there was
a drumhead cabbage which would oom-
para favorably with auy imported oab-
bage we have ever seen in this market
—-didn’t we “bile that eabbage down.”
Then came beets, onions, carrots, etc.,
as fine as good seed, fertile land, atten
tive cultivation and this most favorable
season oouli make them. Dootor, we
greet you.
—Judge E. P. Lawson has' re-
meved his law office, and now occu
pies the new brick office next door
to the A^ngtoa House, it being one
of the moat convenient offioea in
town, and when it is furnished as
the gentlemen design to do immedi*.
ly, it will he one of the cosiest and
brtable.
pen with equal dexterrity. These all *
concur in giving him credit for honesty
of ihought and purpose; but Brutus
says he is guilty of “palpable duplic
ity,” and Brutus!—we all know who
Brutus is. I claim the right to enter
tain and express my views without the
influences of favor or fo-ir, and and can
not see the why (?) of the feeble on
slaught upon me or Mr. Stephens.—
Even were I disposed to go so far as
worship, I’ve the right to do so under
my own vine and fig “bush”—large or
small. I differed with Mr. S. once, but
have had the manhood to have felt, aud
still feel ashamed of having expressed
it. I am reminded of the want of faith
in Peter after being au eye witness to
the many maracles of Jesus—denying
him. But lashed by unbridled fury by
remorse, he showed his manhood, his
faith, his repentance. He went out and
wept bitterly Go now, Brutus, and
moisten your ■’bandanna.”
I fed complimented by B’s. opinion of
my political ken, supported as it is by
college buncomb, which bears the rela
tion to common sense which ’he zephyr
does to the cyclone. I made no effort
at ‘ pallemic display,” or any other dis
play. I saw nothing to encourage con-,
troversy, and shall 1 add another line
to what I have here said, or reply to
anything whioh Liru'us, Cassius, Tar-
quin, the Colossus at Rhodes, the Straits
of Gibenlter, the Leauing Tower of
Pr-a. Jupiter Tonans, or any other
t hunderer or set of thunderers may thun
der, by thunder.
The Commoner fears no harm from
political pigmies’ and all effort to im
peach his persi mal or political integrity
may be compared to throwing rotten
eggs, which burst as released from the
hand besmearing him who hurls them.
Randall, Wabh, et al., are small pota
toes in Brutus’ opinion, I presume,
classing their views, with which I have
the honor to concur, in the catigory of
“pla'iiudes.” I am content, and shall
lea~e forever the subject with Brutus,
hoping that his next venture may be
upon a subject more in keeping with
his “political experience,” indiscreet
utterances upon which will reooil to his
injury, and affect his aspirations of a po
litical or other character. Remeraem-
ber the use and abuse of the quill.—
Tree something and bark less, is the
humble advice of the Doctor.
