Walk round toivx. —Tired of; the tedium and ir uCdd of our office we | hunt and no onr hat and start' and ou a ( stroll Wlieie should we go? It j "i— aI v -ly ev. uing, ad we knew that go w ere we w and our eyes j w uht least n the bn mties of latme and the art of m in. So, we were not ! long in find ii,' a st u iiog point. L iving our office we first run into j Me Floyd’s wagon and hiiggv shop.— M F. gav< ns a hearty welc .me, as did als Mi -s s. Christopher, Reynold* and ( eli: an I’hese gentlemen all in. lersiand their business and can put tip as good a buggy i \angoii as any body, and as cheap, if n a cheaper.— AL Reynolds eau pai.r. a sign or bug gy in the latest style We believe in patroniz.iig Ii mie in lu-try, and tliere -1" e advise oor leaders not to send N rth so. wag ms and buggies when .Mr. Floyd can put thorn up to order as cheap and better. Rut we must be i long oil. As we turned to the right, going Southward, we met our friends, Messrs, W J. James and W. (J. Malone, on the corner, both good clever gentle men, always ready to extend a hearty welcome to their friends They have a nice bar and a level billiard table line (lie young people love to meet and pass an hour in a social game or a sparkling glass of the very best that can ho had. There is no gam bling allowed in their house—the best of order prevails universal. The bar is supplied with the best liquors, oysters, cigars, sardines, pickles, canned fruils, and any thing else that could tempt the appetite of man. If their good variety and good qualities doiql at tract for them the custom of every man, then we don’t know where to tell our friends to go to find what they I>ee 1. Fussing on to the next door we find Dr John (loodman behind Ids counter busy as he can lie selling drugs, lie has a nice drug store —every thing ar ranged in perfect style, and no one en ter his store without feeling easy in a few minutes. The Doctor lias some preparations of his own which are wining an enviable reputation wliere ever they have beentriel- His sar saparilla hitters are the most pleasant tonic in the market, being put up in the purest article of whiskey and ; possessing all the virtues of the sar- ; saparilla. His liver pills certainly j have, done more good toward relieving 1 the aillieted than any other remedy.— ! And there is his fire lighter—a little j ahead of any thing we have ever seen, i They are the very thing every family I need. In less than one minute after getting out of bed you can have a light that will shine for ymu in rain and wind, an i y>u can start a fire in the stove for your wife without the use of pine. (For full particulars see Siiuin Sliinpkins on first page.) Presto pass. We next enter the store of Andrews & Roberts, both polito, nice and real j gentlemen. They have a good stock , of dry goods and groceries—selected ; with much taste, and suited to supply the demand. Mr. Roberts, we believe, i is principal salesman, and a nice young man he is too. (lie’s not mar ried, young ladies.) And here sits Mi L. S. Roan, a partner in law of Mr. Andrews. They are well versed in law and in most cases are successful in their practice. These gentlemen ; are both young and have a brilliant j future before them. Ci ine we again to a bar. We did not take a very extensive survey of this house but are told that Mr Davis, I has a very g>">d supply of liquors and intends to keep nothing but the best that can be bought. M . D.vis is from Palmetto and i < a nice gentleman. j Here we aie at tiie variety store of J. Brantley. If keeps a supply of dry g ids and groceries and most any ; thing you want. This is one of the i best stores in the place, and Mr. B. ! one of our best and most energetic ; citizeens. We wish him all manner of success. Mr. Thomas McD maid cones next as we pass. Lie keeps a good liar and j deals out fine liquors to his customers. I Mr. Me. lias h< en doing business too long in Fairburn to need more than j that wc say that he is still at his old ; stand and still continues to deal fairly and honestly with his friends. We now come to the provision store j of Ron,i i>n A. Byrd. T :ey deal al most exclusively in provisions, and enjoy an extensive patronage from the l iwii and county. They aie both honest, fair dealing gentlemen and de serve the patronage of all But we must now return, with a ; promise that we will continue our I walk at an A her time. Wf* Brass Band.—Mr. Joe Brantley is now negotiating for a set of band instruments for the young men of this place, and we hope before long to hear a concord of sweet sounds by the Fair burn Brass Band. Irish Potatoes —We return our thanks ti Mrs. Dr Malone for a mess if fine Irish potatoes, the largest and finest we have seen this season. We hear that Mrs. Malone has a very fine garden She will please accept out thanks for this nice treat. isaY" A Curiosity. —We saw this evening, just as we were going to press, a lamb with eight legs. From the shoulders baek were two well-form ed bodies. It has only one neck and head It was dead when found this morning. Mr. Joe! G. Mann, of Fay ette, who lives about five miles from this place, was showing it to us. It is certainly a great curiosity. Isair Call at the store of L. L. Lau drum when you want to buy Hats, Sugar, Coffee, Syrup, or any thing else usually kept in a country village store. He has just received from New York a fine lot of hats of all sizes and colors which he is selling very cheap, and fiotn New Orleans a fine lot of family groceries consisting of sugar, coffee, syrup and flour, all of which he will sell low for cash. Be sure to give him a call before purchasing. You will re ceive due attention from hie polite clerk, H. R llubgood. S&r A Good Ordinance.— Our town council, at its last session, passed an ordinance prohibiting the. cuttiug of any tree of any size or kind within the corporate limits of the town and mak ing it a penal offence. The object of the act is to protect the new streets on the South side of the Railroad and to prevent persons frotn clearing out said streets unless by the direct orders of tin* council. That part of the town lias been recently laid out and has streets sixty feet wide, which is at present in original growth, and it would be a pity to have them hacked up and cleared in an ugly manner. But if they are prop erly attended to and shade trees left standing where they should he, it will add greatly to the beauty and general appearance of that part of town. Stir The picnic. —At the early hour of seven in the morning, our village seemed to be alive. Young gentlemen hurrying to and fro with one object alone in view. Girls dressed with neatness and simplicity, making pre parations (or a picnic excursion to the venerable town of Campbellton. Pres ently two commodious wagons with several buggies filled with jolly girls and boys, accompanied by the “ good old ladies, (as they are called), Mrs. Goodman and Cantrell. Eight miles were soon traversed, which brought us to the place of destin ation. The entire journey was one fraught with laughter and merry-mak ing. The forest resounded the joyful shouts. We were heartily welcomed by the good people of the village. I suppose nearly all my readers are acquainted with Campbellton, consequently, it needs no description. I will merely state that it is situated on the banks of the Chattahoochee, whose placid waters glide so smoothly on toward the main. Had these waters the tongue of revelation many a tale of love and courtship would be revealed to which they alone were auditors. Near it-s hanks stands the far famed Magic Rock. It is firmly believed when a youth and maiden go upon this rock together they will marry. 'T was here many of onr sires wooed and wuu their fair brides. Hut, excuse me, lam digressing. \Ve all repaired to the courthouse and, after a rest of a short time, con cluded to go down to the river and cross over into Douglass. After spend ing the time very pleasantly here, all with one accord voted to return to the court house and dine. “The old folks ” thought nectar and ambrosia would be sufficient for them, but concluded to take something more substantial.— When we arrived and made known our wishes, the matrons spread before us a table richly laden with every delicacy. To which we all did ample justice.— To the young lady who feasted us on those delicious strawberries, we return '■ur most sincere thanks. The after noon was spent in music, dancing and strolling. About five o’clock, p. rn., the ladies suggested that it was time to return. Many remonstrances were made on the part of the young, but the elders carried their point. After bidding a most affectionate farewell to the good citizens of (Jainp bellton, we weuded oar way back to Fairburn—all having had a splendid time. We arrived here after night had drawn her sable curtains. From all I can learn, many lost their hearts, which will surely result in Something serious. One young gentle man is now offering fifty dollars reward for the young lady who has his in her possession. So, ye thieves had best look out. Amicus. Pay the small bills. —With the open ing of the year all small bills should be promptly paid. The men to whom they are due generally need the money. The little bills are the ones that makes numberless gaps in the world of busi ness. How much comfort to families, cheer to desponding business men and encouragement generally would be given by the immediate discharge of ail iittle aDd, perhaps, half forgotten obligations. Pay small debts, and it is a capital time to commence this very day. Subscribe for The Fairburn Sext'nel, President’s Message. Washington, May 4—The follow ing is Uraut’s proclamation: Ibe act of Congress enuitled, "an act to enforce the provisions of the 14th amendment to the Constitution ol the U. S-, uud for other purposes,” ap proved April 20, A. D. 1871, being a law of extraordinary public import ance, I consider it my duty to issue this, my proclamation, calling the at tention of the people es the United Slates thereto, enjoining upon all good citizens, and especially upon ull public officers, to bo zealous in the enforce ment thereof, and warning all persons to abstain from committing any of the acts thereby prohibited. This law of Cougiess applies to all parts of the United States, and will be enforced every where, to the extent of the pow er vested in the Executive; but inas much as the necessity therefor is well known to have been caused chiefly by persistent violations of the rights of citizens of the United States, by a combination of lawless and disaffected persons in certain localities lately the theatre o>' insurrection and military conflict, I do particular!, exhort tne people of those parts of the country to suppress all such combinations by their own efforts through the agency of local laws and to maintain the rights of all citizens of the United States, and to secure to all such citi zens the equal protection of the laws. Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed upon the Executive by the act of Congress, to which public attention is now called, and reluctant to call in forces aiyof the extraordinary powers thereby conferred upon me, except in cases of imperative necessity, do nev ertheless deem it my duty to make known that I will not hesitate to use the powers thus vested in the Execu tive, whenever and wherever it shall become necessary to do so for tho pur pose of securing to all citizens of the United States the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution and laws. It is my earnest wish that peace and cheerful obedience to law may prevail through out the land, and that all traces of our late unhappy civil strife may be speed ily removed. These ends can be easi ly reached by acquiescing iu tho re sults of the conflict now written in our Constitution, and by tho due and pro per enforcement of equal, just and im partial laws in every part of our coun try. The failure of local communities to furnish such means for the attain ment of results, so earnestly imposes upon the National Government the duty of putting forth all its energies for the protection of its citizens, of everr race aud color, and for the re storation of peace and order through out the entire country. U. S. Grant. Glue which will unite even Polished Steel. —A Turkish receipt for a ce ment used to fasten diamonds and other precious stones to metallic sur faces of polished steel, although expos ed to moisture, is as follows: “ Dissolve 5 or 6 bits of gum mastic, each of tho size of a large pea, in as much spirits of wine as will suffice to render it li quid, in another vessel dissolve in brandy, as much isinglass, previously softened iu watar, as will make a 2 oz vial of strong glue adding 2 small bits of gum ammoniac, which must be rub bed until dissolved. Then mix the whole with heat. When it is to be used, set the vial in boiling water. Fairburn Markets.
