a little tremulous, but haying a rep

swered in the affirmative. lie

We felt relieved and as happy as an

But there was the great bird, and
the question, “did you accept it,” wc
consider not pertinant to the occa
sion. We expect to enjoy a good
dinner through Col. Rhodes’ kind
ness, and certainly appreciate Ins
generosity in the highest. Some
times our friends present us with
humble gifts of vegetables, some
times their gifts are greater, but all,
great or small, indicate a feeling of
friendship, and all are accepted, not
with an estimate of their marked
value, but with the spirit of the
greater and more intrinsic value of
the generous tooling of friendship
which suggested the act. To Mr.
Rhodes we return our thanks, and
when ti»e opnortunity offers, The
Citizen will surely reciprocate His
kindness.

it great dinner which will be given
to all tlie editors, correspondents,

allow its correspondents to pay
their railroad fare, but sends them
all free tickets, and will entertain
them while in the city. We have

its enterprise and hope that tlie

A merry Christmas and a happy

In lieu of Christmas weather tlie

Mr. Claud Shewmnke, of Augusta,
made a diminutive visit to rela
tives last week.
It is gratifying to learn of the
convalescence of Mrs. C. T. Belt,
after days of serious illness.
Should Herndon cnll-away (Cal

We saw shipped from hero a lew

way of Devon calves.
Masters Robert Miller and Willie
Story, of Hepbzibah, are passing the
holidays with Master Wilkes Jones.
Bird killing, and not trapping, en
gage tho attention of this happy
trio.
In riding through the place of Mr.
II. W. Jones one is especially at
tracted toward a two-acre patch of
luxuriant barley in full head. With
such a feast his cows and horses
would make rye faces at the
thoughts of “living in clover.”
Miss Sallio Ilayslip, of this city,
and Mr. Linsey Arrington, of Au
gusta, took upon themselves the
vows “for better or
worse” last Tuesday. We wish
them a long life with no greater
blows than tlie wooings of the gen

Mr. Calloway, of your town, while
the guest of Mr. H. W. Jones, smiled
blandly unon us. We longed to in
quire after tlie other boys, but see
ing that he was engaged in an en
viable and pressing business, we

Miss Ellie Palmer, one of Oxford's
prettiest and loveliest young ladies,
is dividing her vacation with hor
grandmother, Mrs. Needham Bul
lard, and tlie family of Judge Jones.
You discover it is not from credulity
but tlie keenest perception that the
“sterner sex” in one accord exclaim,

We know of one who believes in
the old aphorism “make hay while

No Paper Next Week.
Christmas week has come, and,
according to our custom, no paper,
except an advertising sheet, will bo
issued next week. This is a custom
long established with the country
press, and when our patrons consid
er that for the past six months
(since our 4th of July vacation,) we
have labored incessantly, often day
and night, we do not believe they
can complain at tho few days vaca
tion we claim. Therelore, there
will be no regular issue of Tiie
Citizen until Friday, January 8thi
1880, when The Citizen will again
resume its regular visits to its
patrons and friends. Now let us
wish one and all a happy Christmas
and a prosperous new year, and say
good-bye until the 8th of January.
