We paid the classic city of Athens a
visit on Friday last.
“Did you see the monkey !” is now
the question by our little folks.
Button-hole hoquets are quite fash¬
ionable in Watkinsville.
The blackberry crop, we learn, is
looking finely. Glad to hear it.
Mrs. Dr. Durham of Decatur
is visiting relatives in the village.
Several communications do not appear
for want of time to prepare them, for
this issue.
A little paint and a good painter
would improve Watkinsville more
than anything else.
Mrs. Belle Johnston, arrived
vestervav on a visit to her parents,
Dr. and Mrs. Billups.
A frost is predicted on the full
moon in May. We hope it will eon
fine itself strictly to the “full moon. >9 »
Mr. Tom Foddrill, of Florida,
arriyed yesterday by river
steamer the “Great Eastern.”
There was preaching at the M. E.
Church on last Saturday night, by
Eld. T. M. Foster, a Christian
preacher.
We liava a scholarship in Behm’s

Anderson, Esq., was. chosen alternative.
We received while in Athens the
“Champion” other day, one of Mr. C. B. Veronee’s
coffee pots, from the
patentee. This is a valuable new
invention and we have tested it. Mr.
J. C. Wilkins has them for sale. We
do not hesitate in saying it is one
among the best coffee pots in use.
A mtssionary collection, last Sab¬
bath, Rev. W. J. Cotter took up a
collection for Foreign Missions, stat¬
ing to the congregation that he wanted
at least thirty dollars, to which there
was a liberal response. On suming
np, the amount collected, was found
near hopes forty dollars instead of thirty. He
to increase the amount consider¬
ably yet.
Boys of the right kind and properly
educated are always in demand. All

not only have no difficulty in locating
themselves in business houses, but will
grow up better men in every respect
than they would have been without
such training, and lay the foundation of
fortune and prosperity. Circulars free.
We would rise to remark that Mr.
J. C. Wilkins, of Athens, keeps on
hand the best stove to be found in the
market. We have waited and thor¬
oughly tested one of the celebrated
“Gate City” cook stoves, and pronounce
it the best we have ever tried. When
you tinware, want anything be in the line of stoves

C. \\ ilkins before purchasing else¬

other column.

Hie Sunday School at Antioch is
quite interesting we noticed a good
attendance on Sunday last, and all
seem to take an anctive part. If they
will keep up the school and the parents
all take an interest, and have good
discipline the school will indeed be
a grand success.
The Agricultural Society discussed
the stock law, or the fence or no fence
question, and decided that it was a
knotty it subject. The no fence side
was rather impracticable at this
time. The President of the society
appointed a committee, composed
Messrs. If. G. Ilardigree, L. L. Fam
brough and J. M. Willoughby, to in¬
spect the crops in this section and
report at the next meeting which will
be held on the 4th Saturday.
The Oconee Agricultural Society
met at Antioch church, last Saturday,
in the afternoon. Several of the good
old farmers were present, and partici¬
pated in the meeting. We noticed
Air. David tt. Elder, one of Oconee’s
best citizens was present, the first
time we have seen him at the Society
for some time. He is a member of
this Society and we hope lie will
continue to attend as it takes just
such men as lie is to make a good
Agricultural Society.
