It is known that I Columbus is a manufacturing city, con suming large quantities of cotton'and giving employment to thousands of do- .vir. mm -lraoiu, is naving some re - Pendent people. who otherwise »ight pairs made-to his residence. Wonder-- be thrown upon the chanties of tin* why? Mrs. Sadler Is spending a few days in Atlanta on her return from Chattanoo ga. The friends of Mr. Morgan Hopson will tind him at the store of Banks & Arnold, where he will he pleased to wait on them in his usual affable man ner. The people of our town are getting anxious to know where our Thanks giving turkeys are to come from. Can not some of our frieads in the country furnish our market with a few? Little Miss Lovejoy, who has recent ly made her debut at the home of Mr. J. F. Lovejov, is rather corpulent Sir a young lady of her age. Rev.. Dr. White has been confined to the house for a few days with erysipe las, bat we are glad to know that he is able to be on the street again. Mr. J. B. Cotton writes “J. P.” after his name now. Some of his friends are anxious to witness his first effort at ty ing the hymeneal knot. A little boy, after hearing his mother and grandmother discussing flie merits of the langshang chickens, said, “O, mamma, mamrna!—do let me see my dear, sweet little langshang sister!” Airs. Ed Long, of Carrollton, is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Lovejov. Mr. John Hendrix attended church here on last Sunday and remained a few days visiting friends. We think the public will be highly entertained at the Methodist church next Sunday night. The missionary band greeting, by the little President' will certainly interest you, and do you good. F. A.

We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage. Buggy and Wagtrn work, and in a style that cannot be excelled in the State, or anywhere else. Our work men are skillful and efficient; our material the best that money will buy; our equipment thorough and complete in every department. In fact, we have spar ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus iness, and our facilities for doing work in this line are first-class in every respect. We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do noi get our vehicles "knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, bui make them out and cat. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture— CARRIAGES. iPHAETONS,- LANDEAUS, HEARSES. ROAD-CARTS. BUGGIES, SULKEYS, WAGONS ETC. We are also prepared to do all kinds of carriage, buggy and wagon repair work, in the best style and at the lowest prices. Plantation work and horse-shoeing a specialty. Give us your work ; we guarantee satisfaction. J. S. WARE, (late with Summers & Murphy, Barnesville,) Superintendent Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—-Some thievish rascal entered the dwelling of our friend, S. V. Carpenter, last Saturday morning, broke open his trunk and stole a gold watch, chain and ring; also, a Smith & Wesson 38-calibre pistol. He entered by corning up through the floor. Such rogues as this we don’t need, and sin cerely hope he will be caught and put where he will have constant employ ment. He was looking foR money, but fortunately it was where he didn’t find it. Mr. W. H. Dodds has a new horse, and he’s a "dandy.” From the looks of a fruit tree in Mr. H. W. Camp’s orchard, one would think “’twas gentle spring time.” Airs. Lizzie Dodds and Airs. Becky Alartin have returned from a pleasant visit to Turin. Mr. Win. Vollenweider, while on his way home from Dr. Camp’s store the other evening, became frightened at a fellow traveler and imagined lit was go ing to kill him. The community was notified of the fact by his cry for help, when it was found to be a friend trying to tell him all the while who he was. The gentleman lives six miles from here, and Mr. Vollenweider was so proud to be thus agreeably disappoint ed that he carried him to his home. A lady visitor to our town, after look ing through the ginnery and Camp & Cureton’s establishment, was heard to remark: “This looks more like the F.x- position than anything I have seen.” Alessrs. K. F. Brannon and R. J. and W. G. Barnett visited Atlanta last Monday. Mr. George Muse’s clothing will be represented in our town. Eh ? ..... Another one of those abominable er-1 rors last week. Air. Henry A. Alartin, ; instead of Northern, attended the Asso- j ciation in Harris county. Little Orrie Alay. infant child of W. A. Brannon, is quite sick. From present prospects the cot-' ton crop is going to be very short. The carpenters who were at work on | thd depot went home this week, on ac-1 count of being without lumber, but j work will be resumed in a day or so. The Alasons were rained out on Wed-1 world. Take Columbus as an example in her manufacturing enterprises, and the poor white people of the whole South might find employment, and thus gain a support. To visit the home of youth ami wit ness the many sad chan®* 1 produced by the swift dying years briug to the mind sad reflections. But few of the friends of early days were met.for most of them have long since gone to rheir final re ward. On the return, trip Hamilton was passed, by way of the narrow gauge railroad from Columbus to Greenville. The town of Hamilton does not seem to keep pace with the times, as no new buildings or other improvements were noticed. Crossing the Fine mountain, Chipley was soon reached, and here a beautiful and growing town is seen, with prospects of an encouraging char acter, and of greater- proportions. A pleasant night was spent with Col. Searles and his most excellent family. Indeed, they know how to make the wayfarer feel at home. After a night’s rest the Western Association was reached, just in time to hear the conclu sion of the introductory sermon, which was preached by Rev. V. A. Ham, of Sharpsburg. The Association was well entertained by the community in and around Union church,where the session was held just thirty-two years ago. But few of those who then mettogether were present on this occasion. Farmers gave a despon dent account of crops in the sections visited. Not more than two-thirds of a cotton crop is counted on, and what to do with debts is a question, with them, of no ordinary moment. HOME NOTES. A. AL Dutton, of this community died last week. Miss F. Ragsdale, at this writing, is prostrated with a severe nervous de- rangement, caused by the extraction of a tooth a few days since. Air. I. M. Shell has sold hi* farm (200 acres to Mr. James Walker forjl$2,5(>0 cash. Mr. Shell is now off to Carroll in quest of a new home. We regret to report Mrs. Mary North is quite feeble indeed. Her extreme age and feebleness render the present attack all the more discouraging. Oct. Oth. K. A. T. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—News items are scarce this week. Air. and Mrs. E. (’. Fulmer's young est child is quite sick. Everybody is in such a hnrry trying to get out their cotton before another rain, that they hardly have time to pay their morning devotions. Meat and flour have gone up so that we poor folks will have to do like they do over the river do without. There is a good sorghum crop in ThU country. A great many of our farmers have re solved to sow wheat and winter oats. They are determined to be independ ent of speculators and trust combina tions; yet they shouldn’t array them selves against those who will meet them on half way ground. Live and let live, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is one of the grandest countries under the sun, and comes nearer producing everything for the sustenance of mau and beast than any other country, if man would oniy avail himself of its many advantages. four years of privation during the late struggle between the States is .suf ficient evidence to sustain the above facts. Many of the. failures at farming lie at th<- farmer’s own door—his fore- right not being as good as his hind sight. Y'et : t is none the less true that they have been imposed upon by buy ing on a credit. “Rock” and the little “Ripples” brought in another sapling shote, and we got our appetites greased once more. We are sorry to learn that Alford estimated that there were between twelve and fifteen liuudrcd people in attendance.. Hon. J. D. Stewart, member of Con gress, preached at 11 o’clock Sunday morning, and his sermon wa* pronoun ced one of the best ever delivered in that church. Rev. (f. W. Colquitt, of Palmetto,, preached a missionary ser mon at the same hour in another build ing on the grounds. We thought there were more pretty girls at that meeting than at any gathering wo had ever at tended before—outside of Coweta coun ty, of cmirse. Messrs. Frank Summer lin, Welch King and Ed McElroy, of Cedar Creek, were conspicuous in their attentions to the young ladies, exciting the jealousy and" envy uf the young ruen-of Clayton. We are pained to chronicle the death of Mrs„ Bob Lively, of Campbell, near the line of Fayette, which occurred last Friday night. She leaves a husband and several children to mourn herdeath. It was thought that she died of typhoid fever, which is very prevalent in that connsy. The deceased was a member of the Christian church at Harmony Grove. Miss Luella Wakefield, near Harmo ny Grove, is very ill with fever, but not. dangerously so. She has a groat many relatives in this county. Next Sunday there will be two mar riages in this district, but as “there is many a slip betwixt the cup and lip." I will withhold names until mv next letter. Thus it is that the “Solid South” (in Cedar Creek district) contin ues to grow in strength and increase in force. Our progressive young farmer. Air. Roland Mixon, living near Palmetto, went down to Newnan Wednesday and was married to one of the fairest young ladies of your city, Miss Lillie Belle Andrews. They returned home after the ceremony, and he, like a true man, went to w»rk at once, and saved the money which a great many spend on n long bridal tour. He thus exhibits good sense, and we hope their wedded life may lie strewn with the choicest flow ers. •‘Like leave* on tree*, theirneeof man N 0 und, Now sre«n in youth, now withering on ground.
