I©" A very nice young gentlemen, who passes our office, while alone is fre¬ quently heard to utter in a. deep tone, the word “Saveall 1” What does it mean ? A young gentleman in onr town who is always engaged in praising the young ladies, should he be classed by our census taker as being engaged in she (p)raising. If birds of a feather flock to. gether, why is it that the first doctor who reaches a man who has fallen on the streets has no sweet smile of wel¬ come for the second who comes rushing up. As the tax receiver is now re¬ quired to write the names of tax payers in full, the digest will have to be altered to get in the names of James Madison Alphonsojj Johnson, and Little t Berry Neal Cochran. The privileger of Leap Year are quite undefined ’and intangible, and a young lady would sadly mistake to be so bold as to make a proposal of mar riage to a gentleman, however intimate they might be. Mr. Albcn Wilson had his hand pain¬ fully hurt with pitch-fork in the hands of his brother Johnnie, on last Friday. It was purely accidental, and we hope friend Albon, may be able to use both plow-handles again in a few days. 8®” The County Commissioners for the county of Oconee, were in session yesterday, having met for the pur pose of transacting county business. W. Y. Elder, President, and Judge Lindsay Durham, Secretary. Kar" Watkinsville is a fine place for a rabbit hunt. The boys had an amus ing chase after one through the streets, yesterday morning.

Rain. On yesterday evening we had quite a shower of rain accompanied with some hail. Thanks. We beg leave to tender our sincere thanks to Mrs. B. E. Overby for one of the most beautiful and artistically ar¬ ranged bouquets we ever saw. We are under lasting obligations to her for the kind rememberance of us. A Curious Incident. Mr. C. H. Ashford, a gentleman liv¬ ing in our town, says that about 8 or 9 months ago during last Jutse or July; he lowered a jug of butter-miik into his well for the purpose of keeping it cool. By some means the jug managed to get off the rope and has been in the well ever since—Mr. Ashford using water from a neighboring well. A few days ago Mr. A., concluded to have his well cleaned out, and when about 8 feet of water and about 3 feet of mud had been taken out, they came to the jug of milk. Upon examination the milk proved to be perfectly as good as it was on the day it was missed from the rope. The well is about 50 feet deep. New Advertisements. In to-day’s issue will be found the large advertisement of Messrs. M. G. & J. Cohen, at Cohen’s Paris Store. These gentlemen are well-known to the people of Oconee and we would ask our readers to give it a careful perusal, and we know you cannot fail to find something you want. Give them a call and be convinced that they mean business. Mr. Joseph Jacobs, Superintendent of the Athens Pharmaceutical Co., has something to say to our readers, to -day. Mr. Jacobs keep on hand a large stock of rare and standard Medicines and Chemicals. Don’t fail to see his adver¬ tisement, and when you visit Athens, call on him and see if he has anything in his line that suits your fancy. Mr. II. H.

Also see advertisement of “Taken up,” Some one can find tbeir stray mule by consulting our advertising col¬ umns. Personal. Mrs. N. C. Morton is visiting Judge R. M. Jackson and family, of our city. The lively and ready-witted Mr. Nathan Cook gave us a call yesterday. There is so much life about him, for an old man, we venture the assertion that he wears a “Galvanic Battery.” Our friend and fellow towsman> Judge G. C. Thomas and family, will leave on Saturday next, on a visit to their friends and relatives in Burke county. We wish the Judge and family a pleasant trip. We were glad to see the jovial face of Mr. J. W. Lea, in our sanctum on yesterday. Mr. Lea is a member of the board of County Commissioners, and was in town attending the regular ses¬ sion of tho board. Mr. G. E. Griffeth also a member of the board, also came in to see us yesterday. Mr. G. is one of those genial gentleman that it is always a pleasure to know. He is a good farmer and says he lives in the District (dark corner,) where lightning bugs can be seen at noon, on the brightest days —but you can’t sec them lighten though. We are always glad to meet our friends, and would say, call again, gents. Mr, J. W. Reaves, who was formerly a clerk in the extensive establishment of Messrs. Reaves, Nicholson & Co., of Athens, has returned, and will spend the summer at home in Watkinsville. We were pleased to see in our town on last Sunday several young gentle¬ men from Athens.

The Junior Preacher spent the night at brother Hattaway’s last Friday night. After supper, he in company with the Miss Hattaway’s and MissSallie Cotter, went over to Mr. I. Lowe’s. They were met here by our friend, II. E. Jackson, with his flute. Those who were not pres¬ ent missed a rare musical treat. Upson Yancy, one of Africs’ sable sons, tried his pugilistic powers on his old daddy, and having been brought before his Honor J. H.
