Twicro. Ku 21.—I teamed from M r. J. C. Solo, non the particular* of a pleasant little aoriety event which unites Twiggs and Wilkinson in still closer bonds. On Toes, day last, at the residence of the brideto mother, Mre.| Batter, Ur. B. F. Fitzpat rick waa married to Mirs Fleets Butler. The attendants were Mr. B. Butler and Uisa Annie Beam, Mr. J. N. Burke and Mbs Lucia Carswell, all of Wilkinson county. Hie ceremony was performed by Ber. F. W. Edge, in the presence of a large nmnber of frienda, who had aasembled to Witness the ocnsnmmatton cf the happy < event. After the oeremony the guests were tori ted to partake of a dinner, which my Informant says was jost too gorgeous to be dssorlbed After lingering long over the table, the crowd dispersed and the happy | oouple started for their new home. There they found an elegant anpper awaiting them, and Mr. and lfrs. Fitzpatrick, with an ease ted dignity that would have done credit to an older couple, received their I Wends till 13 o’clock. Then the guests, With best wishes for the future of the bride > and groom, retired, and the fastis! dee we re L I learned also of another of the many [Alai mistakes resulting from the nse of [ morphine oy people ignorant of its power and deadly tffeeta.

Hay 22.— It has been raining slowly bore all day, And the prospect is that we will have a fine season in tbe ground before it clears up. The wheat crop nott being harvested in this section is one of the very best ever produced here. There was a large area sown in fall oats, and they are about as good as the land, under any circumstances, could produce. Tbe yield will be immense. Spring oats are not so good, but tbe present ruin will greatly improve tbe pros pect. Crops of all kinds have been well worked and corn is looking finely for the time of rear: also cotton tbit was planted early is looking well. Bad. stands are reported from lato planting, but now that we are having rain farmers hope soon to have good stands on their entire crop. Col. Tom Barney, of the Telxgsafh and Messenger, gave us a call last week, and I think his virit among onr people will result in some good both to the paper and tbe people. Some excitement. wv> created in this county last week, caused by the report of a case of small-pox in the lower part of tbe county. irpgn investigation it was found to be a case of chicken-pox, and tbe Cnthbert.

On* farmers have for several days been preparing to harvest the finest wheat and oat crop grown in our section for years. It baa been raining all day and our peo ple are looking happy, as it was needed. Mr. T. J.

Bono. Mat 23.- As tbe South we* tern railroad passenger train ran on the Flint rir.r bridge Monday afternoon, a twelve-year- old tramp was found perched on the trucks under the passenger coach, stealings ride. The train was stopped and the youthful cosmopolitan roaraad from Ms perilous position. M. Locisvuxx, May 23.—This, like all other places of its size, is at present vary dnlL Nothing has ooeurred since the session of ocr Superior Court adjourned to ripple the monotony of tbe times ; and, judging from present appearances, tha-passlng traveler would never imagine that this was once the capital of a great State. Every one seems to be at his own leisure, and about tbe only signs of UfO yon eee in tbe evenings is, now end then, e small group witnessing a game of “checkers” be tween lome two of their number. In the mornings the streets present more signs of life, from the fact that then yon may see a few wagons, or vehicles of some kind, standing around some store door, with both the driver's month end that of Ma horses watering, as yon may aay, for a peck „ of corn or ride of meat. The most charitable view we can take of the reason of this dullness, is, that farmer* are at home bending ell their energies to disenthrall themselves from this bondage to tbe oora and bacon dealer by making one good crop, a thing not done here for several years past—and Providence seems to be smiling upon their efforts. Seasons have so fkr been propitious and tbe grain crops promise a bountiful harvest. The aeries of bad crop years which this section has expe rienced has lengthened the face and sad dened tbe heart of many an honest farmer, and no doubt brought hangar and want to many home* where peaeeqnd plenty had always dwelt So the farmers set out at the beginning of this year with nothing but hope to cheer them and with a largo major ity that hope waa but a very faintly glim- ring, and they have made a desperate aggie and are atUl making it, ana look to the saooess of IhU year’s labor -ae about the test straw Thst r a left for them to Onr town was favored a few days sinoe with the genial faces of Captain Brantley and Mr, Palmer, of your city, traveling for S.

Mat 22.—BcfresMng shower* of rain now continue to fall, which is very much needed at this time. Cotton-chopping is the biggest interest at issue, and the ma jority of the farmers are destitute of labor for this occasion; 60 cents per day snd board is now paid for day labor, and no di«bt higher wages will yet be realized be fore the choppng season is done. This is quite a busy time with the people at large' harvesting small grain, wheat and oats. The threshers have begun their work in this community. Mr. William Baevas, of this county, state* that be sowed ten bushels of rust-proof oate and expects to realize 1,000 bushels therefrom.

Vienna Max 23.—The oat crop is being harvest ed, and generally speaking, is fine. Bain in plentiful, and earn and cotton are doing well. • Our town continues to improve. Every dwelling in tbe place is occupied, and there is a demand for more. Building lote are held at increased prices, in ant: dpstion of the projected railroad through three parts. A newspaper will be started here shortly. The movers in the enterprise oome from an adjoining county, and were here last week perfecting the neceesary arrange ments. They are meeting with flattering encouragement from onr citizens, ana have every promise of snowss. The report that a young married man living near Vienna had cruelly ' mistreated Ms wife, and then hung her, and which was K blished in some papers, tarns out to vs been greatly overdrawn, and to a great extent untrue. No snob thing aa de scribed has happened. The Legislative race in this county has began, Dr. Louis M. Moblfy having an nounced himse.f a candid tte for the posi tion. The Doctor has served in that ca pacity once before, and with credit to him self and his constituency. He will certainly have opposition, but who it will be i* not yet known. Q. Albanw. Mat 23.—By a special invitation of OapL John A. Davis, Col. Wm. Wadlsy ,the south ern railroad king and president of the Central railroad, was induced to virit Al bany, accompanied by Mrs. Wadley, and spend several days in hopes that onr arte sian water, together faith tbe recreation, would be beneficial. We are glad to state that both of them have been greatly bene fited end express themselves at higMy pleased with our little city and her people. Uaj. h tollman, tbo general superintendent of the South Western railroad earns down in a special car Sunday. Col. Wadley is now making a personal inspection oi Lis entire road, and having to go. out on the Blakely and Alba ny extension, requested Capt. Davis to in vite a small crowd of Ms friends, both old and young, to accompany them on Monday to Blakely, and he would have a day of pietiure combined with business The guests were Judge and Mrs. G. J. Wright, Captain snd Mrs. L B. Weston, Colonel and Mrs. N. Tift, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. McIntosh, Mrs. C. M. Clark, Captain B. Hobbs, together with Captain Davis’ family, about thirty in all, and a livelier crowd never boarded a train. Promptly at9 o’clock we were all aboard and off, ev ery one determined to make the trip a pleasant one for tbe old gentleman. On the way down we saw nothing of him. He took his seat in the rear of the ear with Major Shellman, and we believe he aaw every croee-tie from Albany to Blakeley. Upon our arrival we look in tbe town, while the married ladies spiead a magnifi cent dinner in tbe depot building, prepared for the ooossion by Mrs. John A. Davis. At 2 o’clock dinner was announced. CoL Wadley took the head of the table, with Judge Wright at the other end, and then and there commenced a tournament, not a Munchausen one, bat an sating on*. "And good gracious alive, how them men did eat” (artesian water). Col. Wadley then announced that his business being over, that the train was at thb disposal of his guests, and joined tbe party in general amusements. If Mrs. Wadley bad'not have been along he might have been caught coquetting with some of the girls. It waa quite a treat to tbe entire party, and they will ever look back to it with pleasure. The erors along the road look well, and are in good condition, though notaalai ae we expected to sc* them. Blakely is quite a different town from what we expected to see. it is a beautiful little plaoe, well loo*ted, and has commenced to improve since the railroad readied it A good many new store* are now going np. Your rejiorter met Dr. Dorter and had a •mall tournament, but when he told ns of a man near three who made so many oate on ton acres that there wasn’t room to stack them on it, but had to be hauld to an ad joining field, we retired to the train: but be followed us, and told ns of another who had two acres and couldn’t cut them at all —just built a bouse over them and then walked off and bragged of hU inventive grijtatThe oat crop is good down there. Judge Wright says the sweet milk down there is not very good. F. C.J. Um Mat 23.—There were three negroes sent to jail from this neighborhood yes terday! for cow stealing. One of them in Ma statement at the jail said that he had nothing to do with the killing, bnt that when the one who killed it offered Mm a piece to help skin it, he oould not turn Ma back on beef. Tbe principal has only been out of the penitentiary abdut a year. His firs’ offense was similar. They were apprehended by two negroes, Peyton Babey and Aaron Baby. The oow belong ed to a white man.

The killing was held by the court of inquiry, to be justifiable. Hyde was the timekeeper of the force, end Muis from Cincinnati. Shaw waa a con tractor, from the same place. B. L. Lexington. Mat 22.—Hie rain oommenced falling last night It has fallen gently nearly all day to-day. It is exactly the kind of a rain needed here to break the crust made on the ground by the test rain nearly two weeks ago.
