Cedar Creek. Mr Editor:—Last Friday the good ne0 pie around Smith’s mid met and had L p n f the biggest fish-fiies ever known in Coweta county. Besides fish there was everything anyone’s appetite could hove desired—poundcake and all other & of sweet doings, chicken, shote, turkey, ham, and plenty of lemonade. F very body ate until they could cat no more, and', like the fish-fry we read of L the Scriptures, there were baskets, not of fragments, taken up-even after “Saluda” and his John got through— and carried awav, but of unbroken ‘ones and whole fish. This community s proverbial for its whole-souledness, .nil there is no community in all Georgia that can surpass our young ladies and our young gentlemen in beauty and intelligence. They en- iovod themselves finely in promenading the beautiful banks of the two Cedars. Mr. Nathaniel Bridges took the eels for his portion to clean, but they were so slick that he could not hold them and he wanted his girl to help him Nat is a good fellow, lull of life, and all he lacks of being happy is a pretty lit tle wife. These fish-fries are very conducive to sociability and love-mak ing. I would like to be at one every week. . „ . Our farmers are moving on finely with their farm work, but cotton looks a trifle chilly these cool mornings and needs more hot sunshine and elbow grease. '-*• -c• May 16th. B. S.

ARNOLD. Notes From Old McIntosh. Mr. Editor:—At last, after much April-like coquetting on the part of the clouds, we are enjoying “a sea son” with a prospect of more rain than the necessities of the case demand. Rev. Mr. Sanders was, as usual, faith ful to his appointment at Mt. Gilead on ‘‘the first Sunday and Saturday pre ceding.” On Sunday he gave us an inter esting and edifying discourse on the subject of promptness and faithfulness in responding to the calls of duty; bas- iiig his teachings upon Paul s heroic self-devotion after hearing the appeal, “Come over into Macedonia and help us ” and his Christian fortitude under the persecutions that followed. 1 he sermon was enriched with a numbei ot effective illustrations. Reports of a number of cases ot sick- ness have reached us. Mrs. John Bni- ley, of the Sixth, has been quite ill during the past Aveek. In the family of Hon. J. B. GoodAvyn, his son Ernest was on Sunday very sick, while Walter was enduring the torture of a bone fel on, the second in quick succession. In the family of Mr. Hughs, mumps is taking “the rounds.” On her return to Atlanta, Miss Lillie Carmichael avus accompanied by her cousin, Miss Anna Gable. Mrs. Wallace returned to Griffin on Saturday. . , , Mrs. J. Stokes Herring lias gone for a visit to her sister, Mrs. Atkinson, ot Oakland. . . . Quite a prevalent theme for neigh borhood gossip is the appearance ot a nondescript and ferocious beast, said to be prowling in the vicinity of \\ bite Oak, killing dogs and even devouring them and sending terror to the own ers’hearts.

His character and a big' stock of goods are about al 1 he has in this world, and however anx ious he may be to keep ahead 1 of his competitors, (as he gen- j erally contrives to do,) he can not afford to jeopardize the one in order to sell the other. He will miss a sale every time before he would thus compro mise himself.
