TAX RECEIVER’S NOTICE. are in fine growing condition, general condition of the crops is con-1 sideretl a fair average one. Wheat harvesting is going on, but the yield will he below an average. The general rains have been of great help to the oat crop, increasing the yield en couragingly. As to the general condition of the >itk persons mentioned heretofore, I am glad to note improvement, with two or three exceptions. There has, we believe, been more sickness in our sec tion for the past few weeks than we have ever known before at this season of the year. It is generally dysentery and kindred troubles. I)r. F. M. Urantly has returned from his recent and very pleasant trip to Texas. Mr. T. E. Atkinson is off on a visit to .A. f 1 t • Dr. Cleveland, 1 dentist,) of Griffin, made a professional visit here this week. Messrs. J. M. Couch & Co. are go ing to put a nice soda-water fount in their drug store, which will be quite an attraction these warm days as a luxury. Mr. W. II. Goldsmith has gotten up a rather interesting piece of mechanical ingenuity. A11 arm-chair is framed and well fitted together in a half-pint square bottle, the mouth of the bottle being half an inch in diameter. There may be seen occasionally upon our streets' a gentleman in a little three-wheeled wagon, or tricycle, pro pelled by a pair of goats. His lower extremities are paralyzed—have been in this state for many years. He has a wife and a sweet little girl; owns a house and lot, and all of his surround ings indicate the utmost care and atten tion. This pjan is making a good living for himself and family, and is making some money. His principal business is making horse collars, which are in CT reat demand. He also makes pipes, and can use the needle to good advan tage. He is industrious and economi cal; takes care of his earnings; spends neither time nor money uselessly. Now, why do we single out and refer to this man V Simply that somebody may read it, and possibly learn a useful ami practical lesson. If this gentleman, paralyzed from his hips down, can make a good living by his indust rious habits, v....11 excuse can there be for any man in full possession of bis mental and physical powers for not making a living? It is a lesson that ought to put to shame the many able-bodied men of tins country, who instead of living from “pillar to post” ought to be the proprietors of happy, thrifty homes. To give some idea of the business that is being done at Parker’s Mill (known as Starr’s,) we learn that one hundred and forty bushels of meal was sold and delivered there one day- last week. Vincent. May 30th. Palmetto. Mr. EditorAs it has been some time since I have written you I will give you a few items from our town. ' There are very few people here from the country. I suppose they are busily engaged with their crops. The boys are occupying their time running loot-races, playing leap-fro etc. Messrs. Mixon & Pro. and F. 11. Steed went up to Atlanta last week and bought between twenty-five and forty head of cattle—and, let me tell you, it takes a hummer to get ahead ot them on a cow trade. Mrs. 0. D. Crawley, of Atlanta, is on a visit to her sister. Airs. Sim Zellars. Misses Lillie Armstrong and Annie Duggan are visiting in town. Mrs. Dr. Zellars returned home to day, after a two weeks’ visit to her pa rents at Gabbetsville. Mr. W. II. Handley .has bought out the drug store of Dr. H. L. Johnston. \Ve hope for you much success, Pillv. Mrs. J. C. Mixon and her son. Dr. M. II. Mixon, are visiting relatives in Corinth. A few evenings since a lawn party was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. IV. II. Hill, and it was, indeed, a most enjoyable occasion to all who at tended. Mr. and Mrs. Hill did every thing in their power-to make the party pleasant. The couples present were : Mr. IV. II. Handley witli Miss Annie Duggan, Dr. M. II. Mixon with Miss Lilfie Armstrong, Mr. T. L. Camp with MissVirgie Floyd, Mr. F.L Mixon with Miss Khemer Holleman.Mr. P. F. Smith with Miss Cora Ballard, Mr. C. A. Bry ant with Miss Nellie Kate Smith, Mr. F. T. Meacham with Miss Maggie Yates. Everything was conducted in the best -style. „ , Mr. C. B. C. II. says he would like for a certain young man to work the road that leads from the railroad cross- imr up to his house. Stand up, old boy, and do your part. A Voter. May 30th. ~ The B. F. White memorial singing meets near lloopviile, in Heard county, on Saturday before the first Sabbath m 1 July next. Hope the Franklin Achn ’ and other papers will give notice of the | meeting. . The old Chattahoochee Musical Con- | vention meets at Macedonia. thi> coun ty, on Thursday before the first Sunday in August next. This is the next oldest vo/JAY i musical organization in the United recem : sta( . e& I learn that Mr. Robert Smith, who lives just above the Coweta and Camp bell county line, and a negro man nam ed Dean had an altercation while hoe ing in the field one day last week, in which the negro struck Mr. Smith with a hoe, breaking both bones of the fore arm. Don’t know which arm, nor did I learn the particulars of the case. Cols. Atkinson and Carter are both spoken highly of around Powell Station for the next Legislature. Carter’s plat form takes like hot cakes. 1 learn that a rich gold mine has been discovered on the lands of Mr. James Boaning, of Cedar Creek district. 1 also learn that the Farmers’ Alli ance club, of Panther Creek district, passed resolutions on last Saturday night indorsing Col. W. Y. Atkinson and Mr. J. P. Jones for the Legislature. 1 think all the candidates, and the peo ple, too, are on my platform, and that is: to abolish the State Agricultural Bureau, the City Court of Newnan, and the local road law of this county. May 20tli. Ripples. pounds of clear, nice honey. I under stand that Mr. Pen Hutchinson took thirty-five pounds from one gum. L. L. Hutchinson is going into the cattle business. What young man was it, when speak ing tn a lady, said: “Howdy, Mrs. G.”? He was evidently thinking of Miss Ida. Why is it that'those living near the county seat receive more benefit from the public corn crib that those more re motely situated? Not three miles from here, on little White Oak, nearJ. S. Addy’s farm, the ford in winter is al most impassable. Why can’t we get a bridge across that treacherous little stream? Mr. J. J. Spivev, of Meriwether county, was buried at the Methodist cemetery last Wednesday. Alex Buffin, colored, one of Dr. Tay lor’s hands, has decamped to parts un known. It strikes me that there ought to be a law somewhere to punish labor ers, when they forfeit contracts in that wav after obtaining supplies. The Hkh ai.ij and Advertiser was chock full of news last week. All liail to the people’s news carrier. “Fed” Reeves is Hie pumpkin nar rator of this settlement. May 24th. Uncle Blalock.

Montgomery, near Powell Statiou, last Sabbath morning. Cousin Manda had a powerful good dinner and I ate one more square meal, and feel all right from the same. « I saw along the road hundreds of acres of unchopped cotton. People seem to be behind with their farm work. There is in a distance of seven miles, in view of the road, fully 1000 acres of cot ton and not exceeding 40 acres in corn. It is sad to think how wild our farmers are on cotton, and how neglec-tful of raising their own supplies. Talk about Alliances and reform societies, but corn is the alliance the farmers should be allied to. Plenty of corn, almost a cribful, is so nice it makes a fellow feel his independence. With corn plenty farmers can assert and boast of their freedom: without it, they go moping about just like they had come out of a long spell of sic kness. On Sunday evening I attended the singing at Wise Academy, which is un der the supervision of Professor .John Avery. We had an interesting singing and the best of order. This society meets on the fourth Sunday evening in each month. There is nothing more interesting and entertaining than good vocal music when properly conducted j and well executed. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor Dr. A. Q. Young, from Senoia, visited his parents here last week. A new resident in town, and about the first thing lie’ll do will be to call Mr. B. M. Couch “pa.” Miss Xeta Bingham has returned from a visit to Miss Mary Likens, of Hogansville. Dr. J. M. Couch was called to see the sick in Mr. Henry Gilbert’s family this week, in Meriwether, a distance of 18 miles. The Doctor reports cotton look ing splendidly in that section. Miss Nina McClure has returned from a visit to relatives at Senoia. Rev. II. S. Rees has been called to the pastoral charge of the Baptist church here and will occupy the pulpit on ev ery fourth Saturday and Sunday in each month. We are under obligations to Miss Sallie Reynolds for an invitation card to attend their commencement at Staunton, Va. The card is tastily gotten up and the prettiest thing of the kind we’ve seen. It has been remarked by a young la dy now residing here that this place can’t afford but two street lamps- and ihey belong to the railroad. Hurrah for the candidate for nomina tion to tlie next General Assembly who is opposed to the “City Court of New- line, and is a Democrat of the Cleve land variety,” Col, Geo. A. Carter, ol Grantville,' is the man. so far ns “Zube's” influence is concerned. C’ol- o:n ], ’tis very limited, but I am proud of the opportunity to do all I can for you. Prof. W. S. Featherston closes his school here Friday. June 1st. We re gret to lose tin; Professor and his esti mable wife even for a short while. We trust the school will authorize their arly return. Our people should not fail to patronize worthy teachers when ;he opportunity is presented. The strawberry season is about over. Uncle Joe Couch lias made more money shipping berries than any one else. He lias about three-fourths of an acre that lias netted him, clear of all expense, $90. Who can say that no money can be made here tilling the soil? What is the use in going to Texas, or anywhere else? I venture to say that if this statement was read in some Texas pa per, it would cau^s some man to think lie would get rich by going there, whether he worked or not. Dr. G. E. Camp has a very remarka ble chicken, though in appearance it is only a common hen; nevertheless, she lias two goslings, one thick and a chick en following her that she scratches for with as much pride as though they were all chickens. Zubetus. May 31st, Eureka Mills. Mr. Editor:—Last Sunday and Mon day were indeed rainy days. Our lauds have been too wet to plow until to-day, anil another big rain to-night. Mr. J. IL and Miss Effie Hancock spent Thursday and Friday with their cousin, (.apt, Jim Powell, of Meriweth er. He reports crops in lower Meri wether in good condition. Mr. A. IL Rawls has the finest corn in “these diggins”—twenty acres of it, and nearly all waist high. Mr. Rawls smiles from t he fact there is another visitor at his house—a genuine Grover Cleveland—second-termer, at that. Judge A. consoles himself with the reflection that while he did not have the pleasure of hauling Miss Stella to the railroad, his buggy did. Never mind. Judge; don’t grieve. She told me she was coming back in July. Both our young widows are inconsolable on account of the departure of Miss Stella. Col. Bob A. will change his summer resort from Hollonville to Waverly Hall. Prof. W. H. Taylor has gone to Griffin to read law. L'r. J. P. Taylor feels his oats since he commenced riding around in his road-cart. Rev. B. W. and Mrs. Williams spent Thursday night with Mr. J. II. Harri son, in Spalding county. Miss Anna Brakefield, Miss Clara anu Mr. Wilbur Williams took in the Line Creek district picnic ia>t Friday. They report a splendid time. Mr. and Mrs. X. B. Duncan, of Doug- lasville, came down last Friday. Mr. D. returned home Wednesday. Mrs. D. wiil remain with us several days. Messrs. Henry Taylor and Henry Pope, accompanied by Misses Carrie and Mamie Taylor, took in Lutherville last third Sunday and were “rained in,” not returning until Monday. Never mind, Miss “Jess”: I’ll be over to Lutherville soon and then you can scold me. Jack and Tom split the mud from Haralson last Monday. Ah, boys!—one at a time this way. Mr. W. L.

We, the undersigned citizens of Cow eta county, recognizing that the next General Assembly will be a most im portant one in the history of Georgia, and that it is necessary to have from each candidate an expression as to 1m position on the issues which will come before the next Legislature, therefore respectfully suggest a public discus sion by the respective candidates as soon as practicable, at the Court-house in the city of Newnan.

I desire to submit to the Democratic voters of Coweta the name of a man for Representative who has been a res- ident of the county for more than thir tv years, held the office of Justice o: the Peace for several terms, was electee mayor of Newnan, Judge of the Inferio? Court of the county, and, above all. served four years in the Confederate Army, having volunteered in Company A, Newnan Guards,) 1st Ga. Regiment He is a man of ability, integrity anf. fidelity. In every position to whiel duty has assigned him he has beei faithful. Will the people of Cowet:, forget those who defended their homes against an invading foe? I think not. To do so, would be to smother the ls$ gleams of patriotism. I, therefore. Mi Editor, suggest the name of .Judge Thomas Swint, of the Fifth district. An Old Soldier.
