The gins are well patronized and we hope better times will prevail. The late rain has considerably washed the race-track at the Fair Ground. Deaths reported in the county within the last week, from disease of the throat. Mr. A. H. Lindley, a commercial traveller from Atlanta, paid Wat¬ kinsville another visit this week. We are sorry to learn that the little daughter of Dr. D. R. Richardson's, is lying quite sick. Politics seems to have more wor¬ copied shippers from than religion. This is how true ! an exchange, and oh, Messrs. Murray & Thrasher have in store a large stock of goods, and are all marked at close figures See their advertisement. Two little girl children, daughters of week James A. Thomas, one died about a ago, the other, died last Saturday, we have not learned their names. The daily Advance is gaining right along. See the boys and have your name put on their list. It is only 25 cents and you will i c-ver miss that amount. We have been listening for some¬ body to accuse Colquitt of being responsible Hill for the escape of Sam from the Assylum, as the other charges better founded made against him are no than this would be. The Fair Association are having a boom now. It will, no doubt, be the best fair ever held in Wat¬ kinsville. Our people will make it a success. Don’t forget to bring something to the Fair, and lend a helping hand. Rev. Jno. Calvin Johnson, of Athens, spent several days visiting bis relatives at this place, last week. He didn’t call and see us though and if he doesn’t do better next time we will have to take him to measures. See the advertisement, ir to¬ day’s issue of Chas.

The charge The was carrying a the pistol prisoner concealed. guilty Judge fined him fine and sentenced to pay a of thirty dollars and cost or to work on the public works for nine months. This habit of carrying concealed weapons is a bad one, and must be broken up. Diptberia is raging through the county, and we advise all parents to keep such their children at home and use which preventives be given as Sulphur may in Syrup in small quantities, and Assafoetida putin whiskey and give about a spoon full three times a day, and let them drink tar water, these are all harmless and may save your child’s life.

We have never seen such a change as Col. Waterman lias made in the Athens Banner. He intends to show to the world that Athens is not only one of the most enterprising little cities in Georgia, but will stand up for a good daily and weekly paper. The people of our town should take Mr. Waterman’s paper and keep up with all the news in our adjoining and market town. Col. Waterman is one of the very best newspaper men in this State and we can assure all who subscribe for the Banner that they will be pleased with the paper and cannot fail to appreciate the good old ring of the sterling mettle. When you go to Athens call on brother Waterman and have your tion list. name placed on his subscrip¬ Good Cotton Picking. We are informed that on last Wednesday, picked Master James M. Greg ory, 302 pounds of cotton. James is only thirteen years rf age. This is good work for many older than himself. Who can beat it? Tax Notice.

Tax pay¬ ers take notice that the books will be closed promptly on Novem¬ ber 1st, next. Our readers had better see to it at once. Anonymous Correspondents. Again we have received a com¬ munication without the name of the writer, and hailing from Farminton signed W. A. J. We do not know sequently any one by that name, and con¬ it cannot be published. The name of the writer must ac¬ company necessarily for every publication, article, not but so we may know who they are. An Irate Mother-in-Law. A white lady near the Glade has been bound over to our next term of Court for whipping her son-in-law. It appears that he called her bad names, when the good dame went for him fist and skull and came out victor. We suggest that other mothers-in-law put this paragraph in their pipe and smoke it.— Oyle thorpe Echo. .‘Your Sisters, Cousins and Your Au ts!’’ The Jno. T. Fords celebrated Comedy Company will be in Athens, next Saturday. This is one of the best shows traveling, and is strictly first-class in every respect. The great favorites and celebrated actresses, Belle McKenzie, Marie Bockel, and Miss Thompson are with this Company, and it is a guar¬ antee of a good performance.

On last Thursday ourcounty was visited by one of the heaviest storms of rain and winds we have witnessed for a long time. The rain commenced about 1 o’clock at night, clock and lasted until about 6 o in the morning. Fences, were washed away, ana the mills and dams suffered to no little ex¬ tent. The water-gin of Mr. S. R. Ward, the house, and several bales of packed and seed cotton were car¬ ried away, and a fine gin and con¬ denser ruined. At Mr. Henry Jen ning’s Mill,the abutments of tne dam were carried off, and otherwise dam¬ aged, we suppose to the extent of a hundred or so of dollars. We also learn that the dam at Mr. Joe Elders Mill, was also carried away together with his water wheel. Corn was blown down, and in many places, the low-ground corn stands a fair showing of being ruined, cotton that was- open in the fields has been knocked out and the probality is, it will be lost. The streams are still considerably bridges have swollen, and many been damaged, to what extent we are unable to say. We hope it may be some time be¬ fore we are again visited by such another rain at least. Died. On Friday afternoon, the 25th of September ‘ 1880, little Lottie Richardson aged three years and eight months, youngest daughter of Dr. D. R. and Mrs. J.I. Richardson of this place. “There is a reaper whose name is And Death, with his sickle keen, He cuts down the bearded grain And at a breath, the flowers that grow be¬ tween.” Ah! and never sweeter, fairer blossom feel before the remorseless blade than dear little Lottie. Bright and intelligent beyond her years,her sweet prattle and sunny smile made the music and the light of her happy home, and the bright young head with its wealth of soft house, light curls, flashing in and out of the now among her little play¬ things, and again among the flowers and butterflies, seemed indeed fairer than the sunbeams. How little we dreamed, as a few days ago we watched her at play that all that bright beauty would soon lie cold in death. But comfort your¬ selves, you, to whom she was dearest, with the thought that the brightness shall remain forever undimmed by human sorrow or sin. Early lost, early saved. Lend an ear to the voice which speaking to your inner consciousness says: “Lulled in my faithful bosom I bear her far away, Where there is no sin, nor an¬ guish, nor sorrow, nor decay ; And mine a boon more glorious than all your gifts shall be, Lo! I crown her happy spirit with immortality.” Remember too, it was the Saviour of the Mforld who tenderly mid: “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” A Friend. Watkinsville Sept. 27th 1880. “Alas! for Love, if thou wert nil, And nought beyond, O, Death I” Again the stroke has fallen, and another lovely victim sleeps in death. Scarcely had ihe grave closed o’er dear little Lottie before Lizzie too was taken. Patient little sufferer shall we grieve that thou art atrest with God? O what com¬ fort to the fond parents and affec¬ tionate brother and sister, to know that she early gave heed to the com¬ mand : “Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youththat she first sought the kingdom of God. Child ns she was hers was a bright conversion, and her family and friends believed her a sincere little Christian. So passed away, after much suffering, Lizzie Richardson in her tenth year, a devoted sister and a dutiful child. To the doubly bereaved Mother we extend our heart felt sympathy and commend her to that God who gathereth the lambs in bis bosotr. “O joyous birds attune your notes To saddest, softest measure; O flowers bloom sweetly o’er the spot Where lies her buried treasure, With pale hands folded on iier breast In dreamless beauty sleeping, While stars like holy Angels eyes Their watch above are keeping.” A Friend.
