Tin Lincolnton Newt advises tho next mnd iury to adopt measures whereby better roads will be secured for the county. A number of influential citizens have determined to build a malo academy in Albany. This is a step In tho right direc tion. Thi oil mill at Newnan will begin opera tions at a very early date. The citizens of that city are justly proud of tho now enter prise. Toa cells for the Greenville jail have been reported “ready for shipment,” and Hi,expected that they willaoon be placed io position.

"Taataxia in Lincoln county will be greatly reduced this year," says the Un- • Colton fieri, “owing to the court house debt having been paid off.” The Milton Democrat states that “there bus been no real esia'e sold under the sheriffs hammer, in this county, in nearly too years.” This a rqmarkable showing. Montezuma Record: "The derrick for tberailroid artesian well is up and work will soon be commenced. The well will be located opposite the depot, near the resi dence of Mr. Jay Walters.” Tbs Albsny Medium learns‘‘tbst a num ber of citizens are dissatisfied with the present plan of selecting municipal offi cers. and desire that they be nominated by tbe people in convention assembled. Tbls plan, it is claimed, wUl give batter satisfaction. Ban the Greenesboro Rome Journal: “There is .till talk In this vicinity about tasking tbe Uconte river navigable, and a company has been formed for that pur- pote. The steam-whistle may soon disturb tbs renose of tbe worthy citizens on its besutiful banks" TuaBrnnswlck artesian well has reached a deptn of sixty-two feet. Says the Adver tiser and Appeal: “The first 34 feet was through sand, next came bine clay, and at 63 feet he struck a bard substance which proved to be a strata of sand and shtil. Wbat Is beyond, we cannot tell.” Carroll County Timet: “No enterpilse would pay mote handsomely or be mote ot more benefit to our city, than a good bank. If one cannot begotten any other way, we suggest that our merchants and boslnesa mm Unite and organize a nation al bank, like LaGrange did the first of the year." Caekoll county is in a bad war, politi cally. tiiisba Long a negro, has announc ed bis independent candidacy for tbe Legislature, and fears are entertained that tbe white vote will be so divided, that bis election will be not only possible but E robabie. We hope Elisha will not be instated. DeKalb Neva: Qalte a sensation has been caused around Redan by various mysterious noises that are frequently heard in tbe house and yard of Mr Martin, who lives near that place. It sounds very much like a continued digging far nnder' the surface of the ground. Who knows but (hat this may prove a matter ot interest to spiritualists? Newt and Advertiser: All the four colored men who were arrested last week upon warrants implicating them in tbe wrecking of tbe special train on the Bouthweftern railroad near this city on tho night of the 24th uit, are now out on bond, tbe last of them having made his bond late Wednes day evening. The bonds were fixed at I2U0 each. Tiik Fort Gaines Tribune says: “The turpentine farm on what is known as tbe “od Stamper place," on the Blakely road, was burutd last Monday. We passed through the farm whi'e it was on fire, the flames being on both sides of the road. It was a weird scene indeed to see the flames reaching a huntin'I feet in Gie air and trees failing on all aides. Tho smoke was •o dense and black that it could be seen ten miles or more." “There is a probability," says tbe Bain- bridge Democrat, "that all of tho candid- ttos in the field for the office of Represen tative will meet in liulnbridga next Satur day, and choose a hoard of arbitration, tbe duty of which will be to select two from the fl*xk to run tho race, and withdrawing the others. A majority of the candidates, we learn at this writing, favor suck an ar rangement, and the others are being com- mtinicatcd with in the hope of inducing them to agree to the same. • Henry County Weekly Last Wednesday, near Btockbrlitge, Walter Arnold attempt ed to cross the bridge over Fields’# mill pond with wagon and team, when one of tho I&uUh in* was driving became fright ened ami commenced to luck.

Mr. Williams said his wife made a pint of it from three smalt watermelons. This will probably be a new enterprise for the South. A few acr« - of melons will turn out several hundred gal lons of syrup. We once knew a distiller several years who tried making whisky from the watermelon and failed, but Mr-.

We have a tree la our garden that bore not very early In the sum mer «full crop of fruit which we gathered. The firsr crop was not of a very good qual ity. but tbis week ten or twelve of tbe se v ond crop were found, wh ; cb were large, ’tender and s*eet. A peculiarity about th'yu was the absence ef seed. Tub Barnesville Gazette notes the fact that joint discus-ions between candidates for political honors "have become a thing of the past." The Gazette very accurately estimates the reason. It says: "We ap prehend that one great cause of discussion being dispensed with is tbe fact that well defined principles of government and dis tinct views on questions of policy are not to be found with tbe candidates. We ap prehend tbat the abandoning of joint dis cussion in our political campaigns sinks our political methods more than any mod ern change. This is evident, when each oandidata is allowed to go around and make his s atements, which seems very plausible till the other side comes along and makes the other side appear to the better aavantage. I ns ten 1 of our political canvassers drifting Into lie manufactories, let us have some whetting of mind—some trial of skill, some analysis of principle, some shifting of character and conduct, some proving of ugly reports that the real facta may be known.

Atlanta Journal. The law is the axis upon which social as well as commercial relations should re volve. As a Ja«t resort—and as such it should always be regarded—it a fiords a remedy for every conceivable evil, and the man who, pasiionately or otherwise, delib erately ignores its supremacy and assumes tbe responsibility of adjusting his own con cerns, is no less a violator of tbe law than the one by whom be feels himself ag grieved. 8uch is the Life of the Average Editor. Augusta Evening News. £ It is strange how ciosely people read the papers. We never say anything that any body don't like but what we soon hear of it and everybody tells us about it. But if once in a while we happt n to say a good thing we never bear that—nobody seem* to notice that. We may pay some man a hundred compliments and give him a dozen puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to his greatness, and never thinks it does him any good. 'But if we happen to say something he doesn't like, or something that he imagine* reflects on him or his character, see how quick he flies up o* gets mad about iL All our evil is duly charged to u*. but we never, apparently, get any credit for what good we do. Such is the life of a newspaper man. How Love Laughs at Locksmiths Bolts. Rome Courier. Gadsden, Ala., enjoyed quite* sensa tional elopement the other day. Nearly ever>body in Rome who has visited Gads den have seen a pretty and attractive little lady at the Kittrell House. Sbe waa tbe daughter of P. J. Smith, proprietor of the bote), and who advertises himself as the "meanest man in America." Miss Smith was one o( the moat popular young ladies In the city, and among the many who sued for her hand and heart waa a young Dr. Kdwards, of Atlanta, whom the old folks at home looked on with disfavor because of his youth. The Doctor was only 18 years old. The voung people were devoted to each other, although the young man had been forbidden to see bis lady love. Tbe sequel brings out the same old story of how "love laughs at locksmiths' bolts/' Last Saturday the young lady disappeared, and her aUrn father, scenting au elope ment in the wind, instituted a search for his willful though pretty little daughter; but the young people had skipped for parts unknown. Mr. Smith received a telegram from Jacksonville Monday morning, announc ing that Miss Khnnie Smith and Dr. Ed ward* had been married in that place, vn Tuesday afternoon tbe youthful groom and •till more youthful brida returned to Gadsden, where father and mother re ceived them with open arms.

An Idle Brain the Devil's Workshop. Augusta Evening News. There ia a pressing necessity for the rigid enforcement of the vagrant laws of the State. The devil always finds something for Idle hinds to do, and as there is an immense amount of idleness there is a large amount of devilment going on over the country just now. Thers are too many loafers In every community for its peace, and too many tramps and vagabonds going through tbe country with no visible means of support Let the Legislature make stricter the laws of vagrancy, and let every grand jury strictly and faithfully enforce them. A Deaoerata 8tuggle With a Dark Sub" feet in a Dork Room. Marietta Journal. Mr. W. G. Haggard and family live in a neat house on their farm in sight of Mr. Timothy Stephens’ on Canton road, about two miles from Marietta. On Wednesday night of last week he retired, but about fifteen minutes after nine be got up and passed into the dining room, and while there noticed one of the windows up. This was unusual, and he called to his wife to know if she had left it up, and receiving a negative reply hia suspicions be came aroused tbat all was not right. He. passed back into his own room, picked up the lamp and lit it, and to hi* astonishment there crouched at the foot of his bed was a big black negro. Mr. Iluggard turned round to reach the bureau to get his pistol, when the negro perceiv ing his action sprang upon hUu. knocking the lamp out of his hand, breaking it and extinguishing the light Then a desperate hand-to-hand straggle ensued in the dark room. The negro sometimes would have MLHifpmwvioa tbs floor boating him, and then Mr. Huggard would reverse the order of the combat and have tbe n<-gro on tbe floor. The fighters tumbled, knocked and floundered about on the floor, finally reaching the dining room where the dining table was turned over and glass ware broken. Tbe negro regained bis feet a:i<1 attempted to jump through the hoist ed widow when the sash fell on bis foot, but he managed to eacape, leaving Mr. H ; _-nrd Lia • r of the situation, bat ex hausted and badly bruised.

The election of Hon. L. M. Liraar, of Pulaski. Speaker of the next House of Representatives, would bo an honor wor thily bestowed. We believe he is every way qualified for the position and would fill the chair with grace and dignity. Mr. Alex. McKinnon, a worthy citizen of Dodge county, residing near Eastman. is in very poor health. His recovery is doubtful. Our Hebrew friends are observing their new year.

September 20.—The case of Nancy Mor ris, colored, charged with the murder of her husband by poisoning, was tried on yesterday.

About 11 o'clock last night the jury re- turiHMl a verdict of guilty with a recom mendation that the defendant be impris oned fo r life. There is a great deal of criminal business on the docket and court will doubtless continue all of next week. MONROE. BARBECUE AND DAHCE—DRY TIMES—SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

Preparations are being made for an entertainment to be given bv the Johnston Institute of this place. This institute is under the management of Prof. A. J. Burruse, an educator of estat>- lished reputation, and tho entertainment will doubtless prove a success. E. L. Braswell, who was convicted of assault with intent to murder in Gwinnett Superior Court,has through the ability and diligenceof his counsel, W.J^Hay. of thit place, obtained a new trial. Col. Rsy has worked hard for him, and is to be con gratulated upon his auccess. Dr. J. A.

J. Perry, our nominee for Representative. It waa a “corn shucking." The object in view was to raise money for missionary purposes for the Methodist church. A large number of white ears being selected, witn one red ear among them, a miniature sum was charged for each ear, and the ore purchasing the red one was to kiss the lady of his choice. Of course all bought freely. Mr. Thornwell Gamble, being the successful man. was granted by the crowd the privilege of that pleasant duty, but the young lady very nicely refused by saying that ‘ r Mama says I mustn't." ln the last issue of the Enterpriie ana Appeal, Mr. J.

September 19—On lsst Friday I attended the cerem inles of laying the corner stone of Braswell Academy, Col. D. £. Butler, past grand master of Georgia, officiating. A very large crowd from Morgan, Walton and Oconee counties was present. The affair passed of! very pleasantly. Before dinner, Col. Bntler delivered an lnterestirife address, appropriate to tbe occasion, ana, after dinner. Judge II. W. Baldwin enter tained ns with a memorial address on Mr. Braswell, whose munificence ha* created a fund for the education of the orphan children of Morgan county. In making this bequest Mr. Braswell laid the founda tion of a fund which, by good management, has been of incalculable good to our coun ty, and in speaking of it Judge Baldwin was most remarkably entertaining, hold ing the attention of his audience for a length of time that was remarkable, consider! the fact that the crowd was composed quite a number of children and the day was very warm. This academy is locat ed on the spot where Mr. Braswell livid in the northern part of our county, it is u handsome building. The August drought has cut off the cot ton crop abont one-tbiid.
