Watkinsville and Surrounding County Items, Gathered by Advance Reporters. The Matrimonial market dull. Good rains since our last issue. Gardens are looking up since the rains. The news boom, in our County, is quito dull We hear of much sickness through¬ out the county. Rav, boy:, how ,t 0 you like low necks and short sleeves ! See the advertisement of A. L. Hull, Broker, of Athens, The festive school hoy seeketh the quiet waters of the mill pond. Mr. Wm. Booth says he is the cham¬ pion checker player of Watkinsville. Mr. Bob. Booth, of Griffin, is visiting friends and rehuh'es in toYvn. Our County fair for next fall will be one of the best ever held by the Asso¬ ciation. The pesident of the lazy club, the man who sleeps standing up, has gone to work. Miss Katie Ashford of our town left on a visit to her aunt in Chili cothe, Ohio to-day. Miss May Richardson, daughter Dr. 1). II. Richardson, left for a trip to North Georgia this eY'euing. It is dull. We say it “emphasaziza tingly ” We note this because a. citizen says it means more than empha¬ sis. Our young men have organized a ministrel troupe. Judging from the appearance of things, fair Yveek wi'l he a lively one. The extension of the Northeastern railroad through this section would be of an immense benefit to Athens, and is of great need. Snakes are said to be numerous on our streams. This expla'ns the reason all of the boys carry “.-nuke medicine” with them when they go fishing. Miss Emma McWhorter, who has been spending some time with her relatives in this place left for home on last Tuesday, and T, M, F. is sick. Ur. I. W. Thrasher has just had Lite wood-work of his house completed. Now. Isaac ; a nice coat or so of paint would improve the looks of things greatly. Several locals and communica¬ tions are left out of this Lsue on account of sickness in our family and our inability to correct them in time for this issue. * • At the sessions of our County Court., the warm weather, has a lulling on the Clerk, who nods assent to all the legal points made by the lawyers. “Wake ’im up Jcdge.” Wonder if we are going to have street railroad? We saw Prof. Bar¬ nett's school toys pass by our office on “Stiek Monday Staik evening last, muttering; ! !! Stuok !!!” Dr. 1). R. Richardson, our clever, genial friend and fellow-townsman, and our good friend Col. W. W. Prioe, of Farmington, have been appointed Census Knunierttors for Ooonoe Coun D Mr. A. II. Lindloy, the clever anJ genial cotnmeroial traveller, for the firm of Pemberton, Fullum & Co., of Atlan¬ ta, was in town on last Thursday, lie was busy and consequently, did not pay our sanctum a visit. Ho has promised to do better next time. A young merchant of our town says it is just the same trouble to support one, ns it is to feed two. He thinks, how¬ ever, the hard times will compel him to comedown, and that ho will not be a candidate for matrimonial honors, this year. Mr. Jno. B. Elder has just completed his new house, and says, course, he finished it up merely to keep his lumber fr. >m going to ruin. He has also the latest jut of Italian bees, and it looks like honey new-no-moon, and we are piece looking forward to the enjoyment of a of Bride’s Cake. Look out. Our High Shoals correspondent gays Grand-ma Center, «ne of our oldest and best citizens died ( 1 ' i last Saturday evening about 9 o’clock, p. m.. Mrs. Cauadv, daugh¬ ter ofour worthy friend Mr. Center, died also on last Saturday, at 6 p. m. These deaths both occured m the same house, and has cast a gloom over the entire community. We were shown on Monday, hist, by the patentee, Mr. Linsey Hin¬ der, of this county a planter for cotton, peas, corn and guano, It fertiliser plants the all seed and distributes the at the same time, A man IPs can see at a'glanoo that convenl- Mr. contrivance, is cheap, e,,, » <iural,1(J iin<1 labor saving to fi,r »H-rs. He has already many testimonials from our best eitizens, im< * ve l ,ron «»» c e it the best of the kind we ever saw. '#’« Hie Public. Many Voters will support Mr. W. Y ELDER, as a candidate for the legis¬ lature at the ensuing election. MANY VOTERS, *pr7, ’80-td The first gold mine in the United States was discovered in the State of South Carolina in 1790. Yung Wing, now acting as Chinese Minister at Washington, is quoted as saying that there arc three Chinamen leaving this country to one who is coming. The public schools of Paducah, Kv., use a history of the United States written by a local teacher, and printed at home. This is the way to encourage home talent and home enterprise. Everybody should remember that Yvhen the census enumerator comes around asking pertinent questions, a refusal to reply will subject the recusant to a fine of “not exceeding 8100.” Even the question as to age must be accurately and prompt¬ ly answered, however, disagreeable may be the process. The strikes in the silk and cotton mills of France will, it is feared turn thousands of men, who were formerly industrious and contented, into Communists, ready in the ex tremeties of their poverty to’ under¬ take dangerous schemes against both individuals and the State. The government is looking into the matter with all the energy that the cause of self-preservation can inspire. The queer paradox is presented of more money being spent upon entertaining the officers of the Constellation man-of-war, which bore supplies to Ireland, than the total cost of her cargo. Very brilliant and expensive receptions we.e given at Cork, Queenstown and Dublin. Whereupon a Balti¬ more contemporary observes 'that “if this is a specimen of the local administration of their rulers, it is a small wonder, indeed, that the Irish people are discontented, and look to the future with despairing eyes.” The Paris correspondent of the London Times says the danger of Communism in France is now greater, because of strikes in the manufacturing towns, which, wher¬ ever they extend, will prepare a starving army ready to abet the worst enterprise, At Roubiax and Toqrcoing on Saturday, 30,909 men were on the strike list, and disturbances were apprehended. Money is being mysteriously sent from the Belgium frontier to keep up the strike. A kind of Crusade of Disorder seems to be organized, which is to break out simultane¬ ously at hundred different points, and thus paralyze the action of the army. The Chicago Express calls for a “National Convention of the Sol¬ diers and Sailors of the North and the South,” to be held in that city June 9th, and quotes a largo num her of Northern and Southern news¬ papers favoring the movement. The Expicss says: “It is right and fit that there should bo such a meeting. The war is long over. The men who who were boys when it commenced are getting gray and old. More than half of those who wore the ‘blue and gray’ have solved the mystery of death. Nature has generously effaced the traces of the conflict. The saplings have grown tall over the graves of the dovyn fallen, and their roots have reached to the hearts of the dead. It is time for peace. And to inau gerate an era of peace, let the sol¬ diers of the North and the South meet and shake hands,” Mu. Editor :— .Having business in Dark Corner and Bunoomb, I spent a tew last days among the good people there week, and thinking a few dots from that section will not he uninteresting I send them o you. By tho way, why do we still say Dark Corner? I am suie there is not a beautiful brighter spot around us. There are farms well tilled, fine orchards, nicely painted houses with pleasant verandas and pretty flower yards. There are books and musical instru merits ar,d newspapers too, so that Dark Corner is really a misnomer. '1 hree days and nights divided among my worthy friends Squire Jackson, Thompson George Griffi th Sanford Simms, .lames and Jim Wall was each so pleasantly chance spent as to leave me no of hospitab.e to particularize on the score Thompson's entertainment. At Mr. we were struck wirli the charms of a forest and river home; within a few paces of the house we caught a score of fish in almost as many minutes and fresh game was brought down with the gun from the very ve randa. There too we saw some of the finest cotton, the most beautiful stand, and the most carefully prepared land, I lave seeu this season, and were much interested in a fine specimen of nickered cotton, ing a huge last ten leaved duster grow ot) a years stalk; also some new cotton called Tim Golden Dmp. if it prove* to he what it is represented, clean crops, and talk with honest mm and gent.e refined farmers wive* go to Uoucouib aud Dark Comer, Appointments of Census Enu¬ merators.
