About $50,000 was made by dealing in cotton futures in Milledgeville in the last few days. The Troup Factory stockholders met last week and declared a semi-annual i dividend of three per cent. Phil Dodd, of Atlanta, is willing to | planting time that wager several thousand dollars that the prohibitionists will win in the coming election. and will be detained in case of a settle-1 ment of their difficulty at Franklin. Sheriff Strozier, who received a severe i blow on the head during the melee by ! Patton, was in Franklin Wednesday ; and identified the negroes. At Hartwell several church members were discussiug the amount of their in- j crease that they had set apart for the; Lord this year. One good brother, who j made a much better crop of cotton than he anticipated, remarked: “I, came very near promising the Lord at 1 would give him a dollar for every hale of cotton I would I make this year, and, brethen, if 1 had done so the Lord would have got me, j THE GRANDEST DISPLAY -OF- sure.

The South Georgia Conference will v invene in Sandersville on Wednesday, ihe 14th of December. Bishop II. N. McTyiere will jireside. The Wilkes gold mine in the north ern |>art of Meriwether county was re opened last week, and mining the pre cious metal will now go on in earnest. Eight, years ago the Court-house was i lie only brick structure in Franklin. There are now four occupied brick stores, and three more are nearly com pleted. • The cotton crop of Wilkes county brings in nearly $1,000,000.. This gives an average of about $00 to every man, woman and child, white and black, in i lie county. The prohibition light will probably ?gin in the near luture in Baldwin county. The antis promise a hard fight, while the prohibitionists are deter mined to he dry. “Joe” Jones, a brother of “Sam” Jones, lias made his debut as an “evan gelist,” and is described as the liveliest one yet seen, lie must he pretty lively to beat his brother. At Augusta Saturday the John Da vison estate was ordered by Judge Bo uev to he divided among the heirs. Each heir of the five gets $15,000. The administrators get $10,000 each, and i he two attorneys $10,500 each. Wit h all the thrift and prosperity of the people, and the rapid growth of population, it is something remarkable that there is not a Jewish citizen in Wrightsville, nor is there one living within the borders of the county. There are now in Athens something like 20.000 bales of cotton in stock. It has been pouring in steadily all the reason, and the recipts and shipments thus far have been fully 25 per cent, heavier than they were up to this time last year. Three hundred and forty-one dollars and forty-seven cents is the surplus in the .Troup county treasury. The Com missioners of Roads and Revenues are economical, but the grand jury, never theless, recommend that the board be abolished. Mr C W. Brack, who farms near Condor, lias already ginned nine bales of cotton, averaging more than 500 pounds per bale, and has half a bale vet unpicked, all being made on ten acres of land, using200 pounds of guano to the acre.

Phelps is se al! v wounded. riously if not fat At Macon, Manager J. F. Hanson, of the Bibb Manufacturing Company’s two cotton mills, has lately put in a good deal of new machinery. These mills have made a record of which the company have a right to be proud. There are about 450 hands employed, all told, and the weekly pay-roll runs up to about $8,000. The hands are paid off every Saturday and paid in cash, something different from many mills where the store-check system is in vogue. The daily output of yarn from the IS,000 spindle's amounts to about 14,- 000 pounds, and thirty-live bales of cot ton are used. Only once, for six weeks in 1880, during twelve years have the mills been run on short time. Their markets are the world at large. Maj. Ilanson says the demand is now very- good.
