The Cuthbcrt Appeal thinks that ev erybody in Hnndolph has had cold weather enough to last until next win ter Slay be so; but that does not set tle the matter. There will be more ^ cold weather, we think. The Savannah boy who got rat pot- ton in his eyes will not lose lus sight,m the opinion of Dr. Stone. It tsn t worth the while to be wondering why a bov put rat poison in Ills eyes. It is -iot too much to say that the act did not “esult from the force of parental exam- ple. « The Evening -Vow is of the opinion that the improvement of the Savannah river is more important to Augusta than would be half a dozen public buildings. In the judgment of the writer, the opinion is a correct one. So let Au- susta go ahead and improve the river, with or without Federal assistance. The municipal offices in Atlanta are fought fur with suspicious and unbe coming bitterness. The people of tho capital city ought to set the people of other cities a better example. It offi ces were dispensed and filled for the good of tho people, as our government al theories allege, a better stato of af fairs would exist. The Covington Enterprise: .is once more on foot, ami we entertain the hope that Brother Hawkins will be troubled by fire no more, either in this world or the world to come. He has displayed commendable pluck and energy, and tho writer would be glad to know that his future would b« uninter ruptedly prosperous. Tin Americus Recorder is of the opinion that tho credit system is a ne cessity to somo people, but we think our contemporary is mistaken. It may he just as easy to pay for goods when bought as to pay for them a year later. The habitof doing so is what is needed, and the habit may be easily gotten into, it the people so desire. Tux Times thinks that Savannah could become an important manufaqr. taring city “If the proper eflorts were made.” This is undoubtedly true. Why do the jieoplo neglect to make the proper effort? If Savannah had prop erly improved her opportunities for es tablishing factories of various kinds, her population and wealth would now be double what they are. Tho people of tho Forest City have not displayed the energy and enterprise that ought to have clmraetcrixed them. Let them repent and live up to their privileges. The Early County News regards the crlticisnion Senator Brown’s views on polygamy and the way to suppress it as f’nonaenie.” But it doesn’t show, and Senator Brown doesd’t show, why a practice which, in Georgia,4s a felony and on conviction is punished by im prisonment in tlie penitentiary, should lie considered as an essential of reli gion, in Utah, mid should lie worked r ' ist there only by prayer and sup- tion. The vvhole tenor of the Sen ator’s sjieech is in extenuation of poly gamy and against treating it as a felony. Night befon last some miscreant poisoned a valuable dog belonging to •Mr. Loyd, the Whitehall candy manu facturer. The uog was one of a pair of fine pointers which Ur. Loyd prized at several hundred dollars.—Constitution. It was vory wicked to poison a dog worth several hundred dollars. Mr. Loyd is an exception to rule if he re turned the dog to the tax receiver for taxation “at several hundred dollars.” If dogs are property they should be listed for taxation, and a dog that isn’t returned at all can’t lie supposed to be worth anything. Tha Right Sort of n Judge. ^ Dublin Post. ' Jodge Lawton is deservedly popular in Laurens county. His popularity Is not brought about by the intrigues £ucn as politicians are wont to prdcBce, button-nolinj' the people with sickly efforts at sociability; but by that dig- rtity peculiar to himself and the ability Jfitli which the scale* of jus tice are so evenly no i>e<l between par ties at variance; he is honored and re vered by every fair-minded individual in tho country. An Outside Opinion. Hawkloaville DL* patch. The city of Macon has a number of ? or y able and excellent gentlemen who could fill the offices of tiio State credit ably. In the contests soon to ensue somo of these gentlemen will probably appear upon tho board* for Governor, Congressman, State Treasurer, Attor- ney-Geneml, ete. But tlie trouble in. tlie Macon district is tho want of har mony among the politicians.

A considerable amount of guano Is being landed in our county.

I BUTLER. DEPRESSION OP IXTEBESTS—DESTRUC TION OP TIMBER. February 7.—The saw mill interest of this county is greatly discouraged, but the depression is traceable to over production. Our county has the finest lielt of yellow pine in (remain, and yet the miil men are not making 5 percent, clear profit on investments. At the present rate of destruction our timber in this county will not last over six years, bo I am informed by the best posted men in the county. WRIGHTSVILLE. MISCELLANEOUS LOCAL MENTION. February The farmers through out this section are tnking advantage of this fine weather and are planting in dead earnest. Miss Harris, of Cuthbert.Ga.,daugh ter of Rev. I*. C. Harris, lias been elected assistant teacher of the Wrights- villo Academy, a school numbering sixty-five pupils. Captain J. II. Hicks’s little six year old son, John, had tho misfortune to fall and break his collar bone a few days .ago. The oat crop was not damaged as badly by the cold as was at first sup posed. Master Lee Kennedy is thought to he improving, and it is hoped that lie will soon recover from his attack of typhoid fever. Col. J. E. Hicks, of Dublin, was over lost Monday on legal business. Mr. H. V. Kent moved with his fam ily from this place to Tcnnitle to-day. Their departure is regretted. CARDEN VALLEY. SHORT ITEMS FROM A STERLING SECTION. February 6.—We have a fine school, numbering eighty-four pupils, presided over by l’rof. G. II. Murray, a young man ol sterling worth, assisted by his sister, Miss Marian. They have suc ceeded in uniting the neighborhood, which but a few years ago was much at variance. Most of our farmers have a sufficien cy of home-raised corn and moat to sat isfy home demand, and they are antici- yating a good yield from the present crop. It is an old saying that “a deep freeze portends a good harvest.” We have certainly had it this year. Our farmers nave set in with re newed energy, and are going to make a strong pull—a pull that they may bo self-sustaining and independent of tho West. Our people are a live people; we have bat few drones. MONTEZUMA. MARRIED—SOUND ON AN IMPORTANT CIUESTION—PERSONAL. February 7.—Miss Willie Adams was married here this morning to Mr. Wm. Tharpe, a promising and ener getic young farmer of Dooly county, Rev. A. J. Cheevcs performing tho ceremony. Our people are sensible of the impor tance of good water, and Montezuma is soon to nave two artesian wells. In addition to the one we now have in successful operation, we are to have another near the line of the .Southwestern railroad, in the business part of tho town, which will afford everybody an abundance of pure water. Colonel I. A. Edwards, of Marshall- vllle, was engaged as auditor in an im- S ortant law case at Oglethorpe onTucs- ay last. lie showed himself to be at ease upon the bench and dispatched business rapidly and satisfactorily. We met to-day upon our streets Mr. W. T. Christopher, of Atlanta, brother of our Mr. Christopher. Always glad to fiacct “Chris.” MILNER. FACTS AND FlbuRES—THE HOP A PLEAS ANT SUCCESS. February 6.—Frqm our efficient and obliging railroad agent, Sir. J. L. Reid, wo gather these Interesting fig ures for the year 1883: There has been slapped from this point 3,911 bales of cotton—mostly to Savannah, as our merchants prefer the Savannah classification to any other market. This is a heavy falling off from our shipments for 1881 and 1882. But our figures below do not go to prove that It is caused by tho planters giving more attention to grain, provisions, etc., for wo have received 100,549 pounds meat, 190,130 pounds, or 3,395 bushels, com, 179,514 pounds flour, or nearly 900 barrels, and 140,732 pounds meal, which is 2,032 bushels. As this is strictly aa agricultural community, and having no largo numbers of day- hands or mechanics to feed, these fig ures are startling and should bo pon dered by farming friends before putting in too much cotton this season. The hop given by the young men at While’s llall, last Friday night, was a cotnploto success in every respect. Among tho visitors and graceful par ticipants wo noticed Miss Mamie Gil- loni of Macon, tho Misses Gibbs ami Miss Bailie Rudisill, of Monroe coun ty, and Miss Maher, of Atlanta. Tho music was discoursed by tho Ital ian string band of Griffin. Everything passed off most pleasantly. / CLINTON. CORN AND FODDER QUOTATION MIGHTY NIMROD OP JONES COUNTY. February 8.—Com sold to-dav at public sale at seventy centa per bushel, and fodder at sixty cents per 100 pounds. Tho sale was rather a drag, as our people uro generally supplied. Mr. Charles Andrews has killed and sent to Macon from Haddock’s Station, tliis season, 017 partridges. This has not been a good season for bird killing. Married, m Jones county, at the res- idenco of the bride’s father, Febmanr 6th, by Rev. W. D.Shea, Mr.WUlle J. Cribb and Miss Mattio L. Christian.

February «.—Tho weather for the pait few davs has been unseasonably warm and ’the farmers snd gardeners are busy, tho ono preparing for plant ing, tho other putting in seed, perhapa to to destroyed by tho unexpected fro*. Somearo.repUnUn^o.t-^mJ ; pleasantly. / IONS—THE The people of Oe rgU arc not wOlilig to expend more thm $1,000,000 on a caj.itol building, anl there i- little dan- 88* of the rnmifi(doners accepting plans that will cany them beyond that amount. It won!d ye proper, however, for the design of the building to !*• ■u*h that wings cobm bo addc.1 in the futon Without Impfcring its architectu ral proportions and jeauty. which makes a largo difference to the farmer. Don’t you think we need a railroad? Some of our nighbors don't. Game is still quite plentiful here. Venison hams arc brought to town every day. I have' never known of so much loss of fencing by .forest fires. .It really looks as if our people were having a dose of wood-burning that will, or at least ought to, give them some valua ble experience. Dense clouds of smoke, thick enougli to cut, hsng over town until 8 or 9 o’clock every morning. Seed cano has been so badly dam aged that it is doubtful whether there will bo half a crop planted. Coon Hart, who was so severely cut, is improving and will probably live. Two horses wero stolen near tho line between this county and Brooks last week. One thief nos been captured and tlie horse recovered. The other is still at Urge. CARROLLTON. LOCAL GOSSIP AT CARROLLTON TOLD IN- POINTED PARAGRAPHS. FEBRUAifr 7.—It was estimated that there wore upwards of three thousand people in town last Tuesday, it being salo day. There was only a small quantity of land sold by tlie sheriff, in comparison with the amount advertised. • Oar town being a dry one, there were only about fivo men who wero drunk out of the large number present, which speaks well for our city, Mr. C. J. Julian, ono of our most popular voung men, Iefton Wednesday .ast for West Point, to bo married to Miss Dinque Davidson, of that place. Senator L. P. Mandcville and Dr. G. H. West accompanied Col. Jnhan to witness tho ceremony. Rev. W. J. Scott has moved to At lanta, where, as I am informed, he will write for somo of the leading journals. Sheriff J. M. Hewitt will sell the merchandiseof Cochran A Co., ol Villa Rica, on next Monday, said sale being under an order ol court upon a foreclo sure of a mortgage. CRIFFIN. THE GEORGIA WOXDRB DIVIDES OPINION —MINOR MENTION. February 8.—Tlie Georgia wonder, Miss Lula Hurst, liaB just; closed an en- aggement of two nights in our city, performing tho second night for the benefit of tho Spalding Greys, one of our local military companies. Opin ions as to the merits of her exhibitions and myBtcrions powers are very much divided. She exhibits in Bamesville to-night. The “Miaco Humpty Dumpty” ap pears at the Opera House to-night. Delightful spring weather for the last few days. Inquiries develop the fact that the oat crop was not quite as badly damaged as first reported. Civil business is still claiming the at tention of the Superior Court. about to embark in manufactures. February 8.—We had a heavy rain last night. , There is some talk of starting a fac tory, but what kind is not determined. Some want hoe handles, some broom handies, some buckets and some brick. When Jonesboro does start out in this line, it will do something. W. B. Smith will have about one, thousand now-fashioned wire cradles for cutting wheat and oats tliis spring. They are said to he the best ever seen in this State. A house cat went mad Wednesday. It was killed. HAMPTON. HIS OPINION OF MISS LULA HURST—CON- ■ GRES8I0SAL CANDIDATES—BUSINESS DULL. February 8.—Curiosity led me last night to Griffin to witness the wonder ful powers of Lula Hurst. I went. I saw. I beliove that she has some in explicable power over inanimate ob jects. I have no theory to account for it, hut when I see her moving a chair, held down by a powerful mun, simply by placing the palm of her hands against the posts without any apparent physical exertion, I can but admit that she has wonderful powers. The trouble in the minds of many, I perceive, is in knowing when the phy sical leaves off and the supernatu ral begins. I am fully con vinced that sho has not merely plivsicol force sufficient to move a chair with three men holding it down, and yet she does it without any apparent exertion. , , Congressional candidates are freely discussed, and up to this time Col. Hammond has tho entire sympathy and support of our town. If an Atlanta man receives the nomination, Ham mond will be tho man; if tho nomina tion goes outside ol Atlanta John D. Stowart will bo tlie coming mnn. Boynton’s failure to receive the guber natorial nomination, backed ns he was by a power in the Stato, lias effectually laid himupon tho shelf. Henry Jackson lias no popularity that I con loam of outside of Atlanta. Wo are having pleasant weather, and fanners are not Idle in sowing oats, and otherwise pre paring for general crops. Farmers are not discouraged by the total destruction of tho oat crop, as the freezes have left he tland in firm condi tion for any summer crop. Business is dull, hut our merchants are in a good fiancial condition, and will hold their own until trade gets better. CONYEU8. LIST OP ATTENDANTS AT A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE. . February 7.—The Methodist Church was the scene oi a brilliant marriage on last evening—Mr. Thomas H. Bry- ans, Jr., to Miss Alice G. Richards, Rev. R. J. Bigham, of Atlanta, officiat ing.

Almand, of Carrollton, and Miss Beulah Turner, of Conyers. Colonel J. C. Barton, Messrs. J. P. Tilley, B. A. Almand and J. X. Hall acted as ush ers. Tlie wedding march waa elegant ly rendered by l’rof. Cruger, ol At lanta. SPARTA. THE VAN GUARDS RECIPIENTS OP A SPLENDID BANNER. February 9>—A spleridid satin ban ner was presented to the Hancock Van Guards at 2 o’clock to-day in front of our new court house. The banner is the work of Miss Bailie Du- Bose, of Washington, Ga., and Miss Claude Simmons, of our town. It fa beautiful, and the presentation by Judge F. L. Little and the reception by private II. A. latwrence, on the part of the company, were oplendid. The Van Guards never appeared to better advantage, and altogether tho otciuion was a moat happy one. The banner la about five feet square and beautifully nude and painted. Tho Van Guards will compare favor- pulverized by the late freeze and in a ably with any militia company, anil i condition to produce freely, will prove to ho no disadvantage to tlie j Col.

Local politics is beginning to agitate WIMHIP & CALLAWAY MATO’S snow POOBLY RECEIVKU—RE SOWING. February 8.—Mayo’s show was in our town yesterday, but did not suc ceed in carrying away much money. We were glad our people did not pat ronize them. Col. Burney, of tho Telegraph and Messenger, spent yesterday with us, in tho interest of his paper. Farmers in this section arc re-sowing their land in ots, as most all were kill ed by the freeze. FORSYTH. TIIE HOUR OF BEREAVEMENT. February 8.—The Macon friends of Mr. Ralph Banks, who so recently left Carhnrt A Curd and went West, will join his family and friends in Forsyth in sorrow over bis untimely death. After his departure his father, Mr. J. It. Banks, hud no information as to his whereabouts until last week a letter informed them that he had located in Fort Worth, Texas. Nothing further was heard until yesterday—a telegram then stating that he was critically ill. To-day the sail intelligence was re ceived that ho died last night of pneu monia. The poignancy of the grief of Sir. Banks and family is only intensified by this'sad and untimely death from tho fart that lie is tho tost of four sons who lmvo died sinco the war. The deepest sympathy of all our people is extended in that great and almost un bearable calamity. SENOIA. DEATH. February 8.—Death has visited our little town once more. C. Methvin. one of tho oldest citizens of this county, died yesterday morning at 4 o'clock. EASTMAN. A NEWSY LETTER—ESCAPE OP A CON VICT, ETC. February 9.—Invitations are out for a “Leap Year assembly” at the “Up lands,” on the evening of the 15tn, from 8 to 12. Judging from the names appearing on the card, we may safely ay it win be a iteUiche affair. Mr. George E. Dodge, of New York, owner of the large landed interest in connection with the Georgia Land and Lumber Company, whose principal office is here, Is in town, quartered at the Uplands. He is confident of the success of the company’s enterprise so long in operation, and which .bids fair tobecome of great public benefit. John Treble, white, convicted of stealing a mule recently in Pulaski, and who was sent to the convict camp in Dodge county, made his escape Thursday night last. He was a trusty and had the privileges oi shell. Tho Uplands js doing a good busi ness. Itev. E. H.Higley and wife, of Beloit, Wisconsin, have arrived and are guests, besides families from Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia, Cleve land and other places. Mme host, Mr. George A. Farnham is giving satisfac tion," and the outlook is altogether promising. Private boarding houses are in demand. The Dodge county agricultural society has elected James Bohannon, C. R. Armstrong and R. A. Harrell delegates to the agricultural convention soon to meet in Savannah. CAINESVILLE. SURPRISING A GOOD PREACHER’S FAMILY. February 9.—Last night by moon light quite a large crowd, composed mostly oitho Methodist denomination, made a raid on the parsonage to cele brate tho birthday of the psstor’s wife, Mrs. A. J. Jarrell. Tho wholo affair was gotten up without her knowledge, and when tlie crowd came in sho was quite surprised, and agreeably so whon the gifts began to bo displayed. They were presented witli a little spech from your correspondent, to which Mrs. Jar rell responded in a happy manner. Tlie presents consisted of a handsome castor, quadruple plate, beautifully or namented with wreathes of roses and leaves, and tlie bottles cut glass; two sets solid silver teaspoons, engraved in old English; two napkin rings, two elegant nand-pnintcH cushions, ono on velvet, the other on satin; glassware, china, napkins, towels, book marks, mottoes, artificial flowers mado by some of our fair ladies, ties, ladles’ underwear, pillow shams, cologne, can ned fruits, pickles, cakes, turkey, but ter, beef, potatoes, and many other tilings. Tho social features of the.oc- casion were all pleasant and everybody seemed happy. Mrs. Jarrell has many noble qualities both of mind and heart, and theso contributions were but nn expression of the esteem in which sho is held. Long may she live. the mind of the “seeker,” whoso name is legion: In conversation with one of the lead ing spirits of the sixth Congressional district to-day, of whom the Telegraph and Messenger bos heretofore made mention, I asked him if hu was in for the next race. “Well,” said he, “if Blount decides to hold on or go back again, I think it useless for me or any one else to harbor aspirations." Saitl I: “My only reason for asldag yoo wool that I might know whether or not to commit myself to any other of the prob able candidates.” Said he: “Just hold up on that for the present.” CHAUNCEY. SOME MACON YOUK# LADIES—THE OAT CROP, ETC. February 9.—Our fall oats were killed by tho severe cold, and as a con sequence our farmers are resowing. Tho severe drouth worked material damage to stock and shall suffer consid erable in that direction, it being tlie result of tlie accidental torch of tho turpentine manufacturers and the se vere cold following. Our farmers are busy in prepa for this year's crop, anil wc think there will be more attention given to the raising ol home supplies than hereto fore anil thus abandon the smoke houses of the West. Our town was enlivened last evening by a social hop. The occasion w as honored by the presence of three of Macon's charming young ladies in the persons of the. Misses Goltz and Lila ltaiford, who added much to the pleas antness of the occasion, anil there de parture from our midst will bo much regretted. In the past three years our lands have advanced two hundred per cent, and still a growing demand. What the future will bnng we cannot say,but we predict a still greater demand, judging the fu ture by.the past. PERRY. SL-rPER AT Till PERRY IIOTRL—HOUSTON COLLEGE, ETC. February 9.—The ladies gave an oyster supper at the Perry Hotel last night to raise funds to improve the Methodist parsonage. There was a large attendance and a considerable sum was added to the parsonage fund. And what is remarkable the bill of fare included oystere—oysters in the plural number and well prepared—for the very low price of 15 cents a plate, and a good, honest plateful at that. The ladies of the “Parsonage Aid Society” intend to make our parsonage here one of the cosiest and most con venient in the South Georgia Confer ence. Tho Houston Male and Female Col lege is on a boom. At the close of the first three weeks over ninety pupils lud been enrolled and there is a pros pect of still Increasing the number. Truck and melon growing will be engaged in on a reduced and more jo- dicious plan about here the coming sea son. HAMPTON. SOME SOCIAL TOINTS AND GOSSIP. February 9.—Miss Rosa Woodson, O^Mseon, is a guest oi lbs. PM of Now Orleans, at the Henderson House. Last night Mr. A. T. Maxwell and lady gave an entertainment in honor of their visitors. Newnan was represented in tho person of Major North, Scnoiaby Miiss Vanhoose. Quite a number of sc lect guests were assembled, among tho number a young fanner, dnbbed “doc tor” from his associations. The even ing passed pleasantly, and the com pany was enlivened by sweet music from guitar and piano. After a nice spread tlie company parted with many regrets. WASHINGTON. THE WEATHER—CATTLE DISEASE, ETC. February 9.—Tlie weather has been very spring-like and pleasant for several days, and active operations in the way of sowing garden seed has commenced. Washington has some fine gardeners, who always vie with each other tor early maturity and abundant yields, and wo expect some day to see tru^k farming given more attention. Even now the strawberry and peach is culti vated to some extent for market, and they pay handsomely for tho small acreage required and the amount of labor necessary for cultivation. Tlie cattle disease has made its ap pearance here. Somo call it epizootic and somo pneumonia. Several cows are reported ill and two or three horses have died. Mr. L. W. Sims lost a very fine mare and Wood A Jackson have also lost a horse. Our city fathers have a fall force at work planting out shade trees, and they will soon commence to lay ahand- somo brick pavement on our business streets, and the brick will probably ho bought in Macon. The idea of laying a brick pavement was suggested by one the counciimen, who noticed how well l lie pavement of this kind hail lasted in Macon. Are Closing Out their Stock of WINTER CLOTHING !

It has come out wonderfully under tlie influence of this pleasant weather. Campbell Superior Court is in sion tins week, Judge Harris presiding. Besides onr focal bar, Judge Johns. Bigb.v, L. II. Feathcrson, 1*. II. Brew ster,‘I’. F. Smith, J. B. 8. Davis and L. K. Ray, of Newnan, have been in attendance. Several other lawyers were also present. Very little business lias liccn gotten through with, owing to the fact that Judge Harris is not very well. John Thomas, who killed Lindsay Weaver at this place Decem ber 25,1882, will be resentenced at this term of court. Thomas was sentenced to be hung at Campbell court a year ago, but his case was carried to the Su preme Court, which body sustained the verdict of the lower court. A peti tion is being circulated to commute his punishment to life-time imprisonment. No more wanton, unprovoked murder was ever committed, ami if tlie guilty man escapes tlie gallows', there is no use in capital punishment for any of fense. . . „ The Southern Telegraph Company are erecting wires over tliis line. Campbell county is advancing. Wo have a ghost o> rather a fiery visitant J from the spirit land. Mr. and Mrs. I' Patman, who live near tlie point on tlie Atlanta and West Point railroad, where A1 Thomas was killed in Decem ber last, claim to have seen a large bluish, sulphurous looking light, about the size of a barrel, following the south bound freight train, on tho even ing of January 23. The light stopped exactly at the spot where Mr. Thomas was killed, and remained there until about 11 o’clock, the time at which his body was removed to Palmetto on the night of .the accident. Several other neighbors also witnessed the phenomo- WUAmxrnra. non. They are positive that they saw it, bat do not attempt to solve the mys tery. JACKSON.
