Mr. Editor:—Mr. John Cruse and family, who have been visiting relatives here, have returned to their home in Atlanta. Mr. R. V. Webb visited relatives at YVhitesburg last week. Rev. E. H. McClure and wife have been spending some time with rela tives here. Mrs. John M. Cotton has returned to her home after a visit of several days i to relatives in Alabama. Messrs. A. P. Camp, B. M. Couth, and YV. H. Dodds visited Chautauqua Saturday and witnessed the fireworks that night. Mr. T. X. Bingham and wife and Paul and Walter Bingham have re turned from their Western trip. Mr. Bingham bought a splendid farm of over 200 acres of land while gone, and he intends moving to it as soon as he ean arrange to do so. We regret to lose Mr. Bingham as a citizen, but in case be gets moved to Texas, we wish for him a happy and prosperous future. Mr. J. T. Mayfield has built an ele gant little barn, suitable for sheltering cattle and storing roughage. He in tends trying dairy farming and is going at it in the right way. We enjoyed a ride with our friend, J. P. Camp, a few days since—riding over the fields and looking at the fine corn and cotton. Jim has some cotton “as good as there is,’'and not a little of it. I rode through some corn belong ing to Mr. H. W. Camp that is the fin est I ever saw. 1 believe it would av erage ten feet high and every stalk bore a good ear, while a great many had two. Some of the oldest land in the county is near that field of corn and weeds are growing upon it too rank to ride through. The secret of the land being so rich is readily understood when I tell you that it is properly ter raced, worked in cotton, sowed in oats, etc. We can have as good farming lands in ' this county as anywhere by taking care of them. Dr. J. H. Hall delivered an able ser mon at the Baptist church last Sunday. An interesting meeting has been car ried on this week by the pastor, Rev. II. S. Rees, assisted by Messrs. A. I). Freeman and Bernard Summers. They have a new organ at the Bap tist church, and Mass-, Belle McWil liams’ services as organist this week have been very much appreciated. The gins are humming in our town to-day, 29tli inst., Mr. John Bradbury furnishing the cotton. The machinery is in splendid order and everything con veniently arranged. The rates are low and-the ginning company are pre pared to accommodate all their cus tomers. Miss Jennie Arnall, from Senoia, is visiting friends and relatives here. Messrs. E. X. Gamp and F. S. Cure- ton are receiving the lumber for build ing their new manufacturing and pack ing house. It will be a nice structure, two stories high. R. A. Ballard is the contractor. Dr. J. F. Thornton,, of Lutherville, was here this week doing some dental work. The Doctor is a clever gentle man, and when he gets work to do it is a sufficient advertisement for him. The future outlook for our little place is very promising. Mr. Cecil Gabbett, accompanied by Supervisor Wilkins, spent last Friday afternoon and night here They located a place for the depot and staked it off. We expect to have a nice, ubstantial depot, because Mr. Gabbett wouldn’t tolerate anything else. There will be some changes made in removing part of the coal dumps and j extending the road coming into town 1 by Dr, Camp’s store, across the railroad j track up to Church st reet. The engine | room will have to be removed in order ; to make way for the side-track. Work j will begin^at once toward building the | side-track, so that the timbers for the ! depot may be put at the proper place I and be out of the way. Tills is a long felt need at Puckett’s, and I have no {doubt will prove a profitable invest- i rnent for the railroad. I guess the ! name •‘Pucketts” will be changed to i something else, as it should be. Since ; the new church has been completed the town should have a more desirable name. Mr. Arthur P. Camp and family, from Meriwether, spent several days with i relatives here recently. ! Dr. G. E. Camp and Uncle Jos. Couch | went to Whitesburg Tuesday and pur- i chased lumber to build a residence * and the “warehouse” heretofore men tioned. Zubetus. August 2$th. end many pleasures, and brings new work.

There are several cases of fever in the family of Mr. Costley, on Doctor Reese’s farm. . Mrs. Jim Taylor continues quite feeble. The general health of this communi ty is, as usual, excellent. P. S.—Since writing the above, we learn that there are two cases of fever in the family of Mr. Joe Leslie, his little girl and boy. They are both im proving, however. Sunday’s services at Mt. Gilead were conducted by Rev. J. B. Ilunnicutt, it being his regular appointment. His sermon was, as usual, interesting and edifying. The congregation,, however, was reduced in number by attendance on the protracted meeting then in progress at Turin. Mrs. Henry Taylor, of Carroll, is vis iting relatives in this neighborhood. August 29th. Subsc riber. I will sell several varieties of. first-class COAL, as cheap as any dealer. Prices furnish ed on-application. M. B. PINSON. Newnan, Ga., July 13. 5y=* Xf you otce for this paper be good enough to settle at your first opportunity. The publishers need the mone\ Notes from Old McIntosh. Mr. Editor : — To this immediate neighborhood the recent rain was most acceptable, nearly six weeks having passed since we were favored with any thing like a shower. The atmosphere has this morning quite an autumnal dash, which will, I suppose, hasten the opening of cotton. Indeed, the dry weather had caused a good deal to open previous to the rain. The waning of summer brings to an Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—Mr. John Waits and wife lost their infant child a few days ago. Mr. Dora Wortham and wife, of Col umbia, Alabama, are visiting Mr. E. C. Palmer and family. Xo dangerous sickness in our commu nity at present. People are getting on the independ ent line about something to- eat—new corn, potatoes, peas, goobers, persim mons, chinquepins, etc. As I write, a letter comes to hand from Atlanta, dated August 25; stating that Edgar Kelly was dying. How sad it is to think that three brothers just entering manhood should be cut down —all promising to make useful citizens! The ways of Providence are mysteri ous. Major T. F. Jones and myself made a trip to Powell Station last Monday, and got behind an almost entire home raised dinner at Mr. D. A. Montgom ery’s. The fried chicken was raised at home, the corn bread, the roasting ears, the potatoes, the milk and butter. The flour was the only edible that was bought. Lands are selling around die Station at from $7 to $8 and $10 per acre. The crops are the finest I Lave seen. The soil is suitable for every thing that can be grown in this couatry. It will produce grains in as great abun dance as the lands around Puckett3 and Hampton. There is no reason why we should not have a town there. Messrs. Ira and Richard Smith are putting up a large ginnery’ there and already have a saw and shingle mill in operation. There are two good churches near by —Methqdist and. Primitive ^Baptist. The Baptists are preparing to put up a more commodious house of worship. There are enough Missionary Baptists in reach to organize a good church at the Station if proper steps are taken-. A good school coukl be built there. The situation of the country is high and healthy, being the dividing ridge be tween the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers. All the big meetings are over and I ain’t fat yet. There was a good prosector through this country last week. I learn that he made some discoveries of the precious metal on some of my neighbors” lands. The public roads are being put in good order. The hands took a vote on the new road law and agreed to work under the old road law. In Bibb coun ty now property owners are exempt from road duty, and their children are educated at the public expense. It is said that Bibb county has the best roads of any county in the State, and tliat all the best tenants of the adjoin ing counties are moving into Bibb, for the benefit of these advantages. Good roads enhance the price of lands in any country and builds up society; so the price of the property thus gained more than doubles the tax on the same. Lands in Bibb county that sold for three dollars per acre ten years ago now command from twelve to thirty dollars per acre. All this arises from the salu tary local laws of Bibb county on the public school and road questions. At last, it is the poor, laboring class that makes any county prosper, “Proteis the poor.” should be the watchword of legislators. Ripples. Sbarpsburg. Mr. Editor:—The farmers of this sec tion are about through gathering their fodder, and are now preparing to pick the tleecr staple.

The officers of the line say that if the let negroes have staterooms white pet pie will quit traveling with them.
