I Now that the election is over, lets ,11 settle down to hard work and see fwe can’t do something that will end to tbe prosperity oi the country. Athens is going to set. up white )emocratis barber shops. The iso ;ro barber shops ot that city are too a. k in po itiCH to suit the boys.

I The “Young Ladies’ Baseball llnb,” under the mana -ement ot Mr. ■Harry II. Freeman, of New York, rwi'l play in Atlanta, od the 2f)th of |t,he present month and tbe l 3 l of the [next month. Some of the darkies have been leaking preparations to go back to K heir former owners, as thev verilv lielieved tiiey would lie put back in slavery if the democrats were suc Lessful. I' is now about time to select n [municipal [spoken tick t. We hear several of for Mayor, including our present clever incumbent, Squire Helms, also Judge C. McCalia, Col. J. C. B&r’on and T H. Bryans it Is to be lieped that there will be no belting from the nomination ir. tins county. Cleveland is elected, the Democracy is throughly, organi zed and bolters can be look'd upon in no other light than enemies to the best interest of our people and our party. Notice is hereby given that I wii 1 apply to the present General Assem¬ bly of Georgia for the passage of a Bill to be entitled An Act for the re lief of S. H. Anderson of the county ol Rockdale and to pay him the sum of $55 80. Cost paid by him in the Superior Court of said county. The social gathering given by Miss Ida, the. charming daughter of Mr D. N. Hudgon, at his residence on Ihursday night, of last week in honor ot her visiting friends, the beautiful •Misses Cora and Lula Brown, of Henry county, was an exceedingly ha PPy affair. The refreshments were greatly enjoyed and the evening passed off pleasantly to all. White River, W. T., Oct. 21,1881 Ol J. 0 Ayer & Co.—Gentlemen ; % W R" suffered for over 20 years with rheumatism in her hips and legs On reading your almanac she posi¬ tively believed that your Sarsaparilla would cure her. She has tak- n fou" bottles and is now as well as ever she was in her lite. I feel it m 3 7 duty to send you my sincere thanks. C. ENGBLORN Llbsrty Chapal Dots. Dry and dusty. We are anticipating a jovial time at the pound party, I guess mv Rockdale doney will party? ge t lu invita tion to the pound The Benders had quite a jolly time at the ball at J ha King’s l ist Thursday night. c. some of . our youn* men are Miking 07 8 P e& U n g of imigrating to the land ol Fiowers, Dixie. On The Wing. Christmas will soon be here—only 33 days more. Pe< pie talk nothing but politics these days. Soma onp asks how the great men of this country began life. [We are under the impression that they gen¬ erally began life as infants.] Leap year will soon he down on the records as a year of lost oppor¬ tunities. The girls are helping to paint the country red by wearing red dresses, the fashionable color. The Methodist Sunday School was largely attended last Sabbath. Several of our enterprising citizens visited the Gate City this week. Green Miller was shot dead on last Saturday night at a neuro frolic in Walton cunty, by another negro. Now for a first class hanging, pro¬ vided they catch him. Mrs. M. TV. Shayer, returned home on last Saturday after two months absence, at ills- bed side of her sick husband, Mr. Sam Shaver, and we are glad io learn that lie is up again. Mrs. J. S. Johnson is improving rapidly. We are sorry that our clever friend M> Allen Summers is confined >o his room witi^fever. We hope he will recovers On. A. D. and Reuban Weaver return many thanks to Dixie tor an invita¬ tion to a pound party which is to come off at an early day. Grenade & Tucker bought a ben one day J last week, and put it in a ^ the ^ to grt it to carry ii home tbe hen had turned to an egg. Variety may be the spice of life, but judicious and systematic adver¬ tising is the salt and pepper of a newspaper, and the butter of the ad¬ vertiser. Most of our time being occupied in shutting the door after the friends that come in to see us, much original matter should not expected until the weather moderates next spring. The man who got drunk because be was blue and felt so bad last week also got drunk this week over the election news because he was jolly and felt so When you want a first-class turn out, call on our clever friend Mr. Jimmy Morris. He keeps the finest buggies and horses in the State. The triplets were out fishing one day last week and two of them had tl.c pleasure of catching some fine 8 UC keis, but we were sorry for the third party, wh<> only had the oiiafor tune to ca'ch one mino. What’s says you, O. W. <Uis. Mary J. Hnson, Y'hohas bepn afflicted with rheumatism for a num¬ ber years, cannot walk a step now and her only way of geiting about is in a rolling chair. Never b^ast about anything that conscience tells you you ought to be ashamed of If you are a bachelor now, and ever was engaged to be married, don’t acknowledge it. Love is that golden latch-key which hangs on the outside and lets in happiness to every heart. All the s.mee, it isn’t everv man who is to be trusted with a latch-key. Business is brisker than usual to¬ day. The good fruits of the election are already beginning to be gatber ed. The charming Miss Hattie Wood, ot Greensboro, Ga., spent seyeral days in oar little own this week. Plenty of drummers in town this week. Mrs J. N. Hal? spent several days in Atlanta last we ek, visiting rela¬ tives and trends. Ciever Joe Johnson ha^ moved his hotel office up stair* in room No. 23, and it is quite a u ! ce improvement. Mr. L. T. Longshore, of South Carolina', and Miss Bertie Marbu’, of Rockdale county, Ga., were unit> d in man ia g e iast Sunday evening at residence of the falher - Mr ‘ B ‘ J ‘ Marbat . l, y IieT ’ W - D ‘ Heath. We wish them much happi ness. We return many thanks to two of Eatontou’s most charming young !a ! dies for complimenting the Weekly.

Treasurer—G. W. Weaver. Tax Collector—Lamar Wood. Tax Receiver—C. B. Hudson, Cor oner—George Rogers. The State Treasurer is now occu¬ pied by that jolly, good iellow Boh Hardeman Who is it that does not know him? Who is it but knows that the money ol the people is in hands that, are always washed clean and nothing “sticky” ever allowed to touch them. Dau Speer is an honest goo 1 man. and he has the sat sfaetton of knowing that lie has turn, d over to one, in this respect, the equal of any man. No Light. What is the matter with our street lamps at night—no light, and where is the gasoline ? Let us have lights ihere dark nickts. Citizen. Fir Christmas goods call on J. A.

How sweet, thy scenes on every hand, how fair thy evening skies ! But not foi this—oh! not for these, i love thy fields to roam ; Thou lw<t a dearer spell to me, Thou art my native home.” “T’ve stood beneath Italia’s clime, Beloved of ta e and song— On Holoyn’s hills, proud and sublime, Where, natures wonders throng ; By Tt mpe’s classic, sun-lit streams, Where gods of old did roam ; But ne’er have found so fair a land As thou—my native home.’’ “And ‘heaven’s best gift to man’ is thine God bless thy rosy girls ! L ke sylvan flowers they’ sweetly 7 shine Their hearts ace pure as pearls ! And grace and goodness circle them Where’er theii footsteps roam How can I, then, while loving them, Not love my native borne ?” w. YV. Black. W.
