Cotton is looking, we should pro¬ nounce, finely._ Gainesville Convention on the 10th of August. Oconee will hold a first class County Fair this year. Good rains seem to have been general all over the county. ' The turnip-sowing season is at hand ; the rains have come ! Several young men from Athens visited Watkinsville last Sunday. We have had enough rain to do us for another spell of dry weather. Judge B. E. Thrasher is said to have the best corn crop in this sec¬ tion. Several of our young men left with the Excursion from Athens to Atlanta. Rev. W. J. Cotter, our worthy pastor is on a visit to his old home, near Catoosa Springs. The excursion from Athens to Atlanta, returned home on yester¬ day. Our boys all report a gay time. The Fair Association will offer good premiums to its exhibitors; Bring something and make it a success. What has become of the lazy Club? lias the rain made the president of the institution sleep “in-doors ?” We would guess button-hole boquets from are again number in fashion, displayed judg¬ by ing the S.dibath. our young gents on last Rev. E. F. Anderson |.ieu<-hed a splendid sermon on last Sunday night, Methodist to a good congregation at the church at this place. The cotton wagon will soon be he heard in the land, and from the looks of things just at present we hope tosee business revive no little. Ike Thrasher says he has the pret¬ tiest lot of Crab grass, in town. He says one hill will measure six feet four inches from tip to tip. How is this for garden grass. We called on our young friend, Co], John T Anderson on Monday, and found him busily books. engaged That in the study of his law is right, Colonel; that is the way we got our start in life. We pre¬ dict for friend John a bright future. Prof. McIntosh, the c lebrated singing school man lectured at the church in this place, last Monday night. He is we are glad to learn, trying to organize a singing school in Watkinsville. Let all attend and ■we will guarantee that you will never regret it. Albon Judge G. C. Thomas and Mr. Wilson, left Watkinsville last week for a few days’ recreation. A way from the busy confines of the dusty city, and to some other local¬ ity, to seek pleasure. We wish them a nice time. The meeting of the Democrats of Oconee, published in our last issue, the Secretary failed to give us the names of the delegates to the Sena¬ torial and Congressional Conven¬ tions. It is now, to late as the delegates leave for their respective places on to-day or to-morrow. The general’ meeting at Union, that has been in progress for several days attended during the past week, was well on last Sunday. Eld. Lamar, of Augusta, preached to a large and appreciative congre¬ gation. Eld. Lamar is ranked among the most noted ministers of the State. We are sorry that we could not avil ourselves an oppor¬ tunity of hearing him. Watkins¬ ville had a large delegation on hand, however. School Opened. Nlrg. Sallie Edge’s school opened last week under favorable auspices, and bids fair, we think, to flourish, .^he has fourteen or fifteen scholars, and is a good teacher.

Take your time and do things up “2>rott>m”-like, and ex¬ ercise your good judge- ment. This is about all we could suggest. Changed Hands. Messrs. Chanman & Ingraham, so long Ga. connected Gazette with the Washing¬ ton , have taken charge of the Athens daily and weekly Banner, These gentlemen have been long in the newspaper busi¬ ness and are gentlemen of ability. We know Mr. Ingraham personally and a cleverer gentleman would be hard to find. We wish them suc¬ cess in their new enterprise. Singing School. Professor McIntosh, thecelebrated singing large school man, lectured to a audience on Monday night last, and has succeeded in organiz¬ ing McIntosh a class in music. Professor is well known all over the State, having given inductions in music in nearly all of the princi¬ pal towns in Georgia, and is highly spoken of by all of his former pupils All of the young people should avail themselves of the opportu¬ nity of learning tiie art of music.

New York, August 5. —Stephen Dudley Field, nephew of Cyrus YV. Field, has patented an inven¬ tion for applying electricity to motive power on both the surface and elevated railroads. II 13 pat¬ ent, it is claimed, antedates the claims of other parties who have lately taken up the subject. The new invention will be tested on the elevated roads, and if succesful will be adopted. It is claimed that the invention does away with fuel, smoke, oil, beat and the noise of the locomotive, and permits the highest speed consistent with safety. Another point urged in its favor is tliat an attachment has been provided which will render a collision between two trains im-1 posable, ocl. train automatically preservingn safedistance from the next succeeding one. Tne brakes will be operated by the electrical currents used in propelling the electric motor Organization , ' r 5« niza «'‘‘n of <» the tne Union \ luon Vet- >et «rans l uion, Boys m Blue, 11 kadi's Union Veteran’s Unios, ) “Bovs Blue,” ' in New .
