Hammond promises to be an exciiting one. Mr. Hammond will get Fulton and DeKalb sure, giving him ten votes to start with. At present his friends claim Walton, and should he carry it be will be irttw’o votes of the nom¬ ination. Judge Stewart will carry Spalding, Henry, Clayton, Doug¬ las, Campbell, and Newton—giving him twelve voles. This throws tiie battle field in Rockdale and Fayette both of which it will be necessary for Stewart to carry to heat the race. It is thought by some that Ham¬ mond will lose Walton, but that he would take Newton, coming into Rockdale and Fayette two votes be¬ hind. Should he fail in carrying either Rockdale or Fayette he will certainly be defeated as fromthe pres¬ ent outlook one or both will be ab solutely necessary’ to his nomination. At the last he carried this county by a very small majority and it re¬ mains to be seen whether he has lost or gained since his lastrace. Mr. W. A. Wardlaw is running a restaurant in Covington. Jimmie Dukes is now running the boss dtay and when you want any hauling done call on him. Spring goods at Langford, Tucker & Cos. Col. T. G. Nolan, of Henry county, is preparing a map of Henry coun ty r which, when completed, will con . tain every land lot m the county’, properly numbered and showing the ownership and exact situation of each lot. It will require a year’s work to complete the map. Langford, Tucker & Co. will re ceive their Ziezler shoes early next week. The ladies are requested to call and see them. Messrs. John and Bob Day re¬ turned last Wednesday from their trapping expedition, in Alabama. They left last November and have been busily engaged since that time, except about a month during the coldest weather. They caught 72 beavers, 15 otters and other small varmints in profusion. The pelts at a reasonable price will bring between four and five hundred dollars. They killed an immense amount of small game. Now is the time to get your fur niture cheap at Langford, Tucker <fc Co’s. Some few years ago an up Geor¬ gia county man captured a buzzard and tied a small bell to its neck, and in all probability told it to go forth on its tinkling mission. This said buzzardsbip has frequently been seen in various parts of the country. Its appearance in some localities of Georgia created more or less consternation. Since every body has become acquainted with the fact that a belled buzzard is abroad in thdland there is no spe cialdread entertained as consequence of its visitations. However, tbe sky-scaling visitor was seen in this county last week by Mr. Sam imi. We call the attention of our read¬ ers to the “ad” of Mr. G. W. Cain to be found in this issue. He has a large stock of goods and will sell them low down. Read his “ad” and see what he says. A beautiful and accomplished young Minnie lady of Atlanta, named Miss Averiett, ran away to Chat tanooga, last week and married a man named PattersoD, who is an ac¬ robat in Shields’s 10 cent circus. They had only known each other about one week. SHEFFIELD NEWS. Rev. M. II. Eakes filled the pul¬ pit at Philadelphia last Sunday. He announced for his subject the im portance of the new birth, but drift¬ ed on to salvation by faith before closing. Rev. Bryans of Logansville is billed for the 4th Sunday next. The next quarterly meeting for the Logansville Circuit will be held at Philadelphia on Tuesday and Wed nesday after the first Sunday in April. Yancy Price, Mark Sigrnan and Jasper Mitchell, three lads, deserted their parents last Sunday and ran away. Messrs. G. P. Sigman and T. C. Mitchell started on Tuesday mcfrning on hunt of them. It is thought that they’ are trying to make their way to the Macon railroad. The members of the Christian church expect to occupy the new house at the next appointment, when they will complete the organi¬ zation and ordain elders and dea¬ cons to serve the church. Married on Tuesday night Mr. Jas. A. Lowe to Miss Anna Lard, W. H. Trimble officiating. Mr. Lowe is one of Sheffield’s most popu¬ lar young man and a favorite of all his numerous friends and Miss An¬ nie is one of our most deserving and domestic young ladies. May their journey along down the path way of life be pleasant and prosper¬ ous, and may the pleasant ties only that now bind them be severed in death. We would commend the ex¬ ample of Mr. Lowe and say to the numerous batchelors, “Go and do likewise.” Elder John Eubanks preached a masterly sermon at the Primitive Baptist church last Sunday. He is a fluent speaker. Miss Lula Wallace, after a pleas¬ ant visit in the city’, has returned to her home in Rutledge. Lost.—One key ring containing three keys—postoffice and two brass keys. The finder will return to T. A. Elliott. A negro in Marshallville the other day was shot in the head with a buckshot, but the shot glanced off and tore a hole through a door. No man ever was criminal who carried out the teachings of his moth er.

Even Conyers has aroused herself on the railroad question, and says she would like to have islie Georgia Midland come there from Locust Grove.—Covington Star. The Star is badly mistaken. Con¬ yers don’t want the Georgia Mid¬ land, or any other railroad save the one she now has. The people are a uhit against it coming this w r ay r . One year hence Covington will be sorry she ever helped to build toe Covington and Macon road. Newton county will vote on the prohibition election on the 22d inst. It is thought by many that the coun¬ ty will go dry this time. Whether it will or not, a very exciting cam¬ paign is expected. New lot of ginghams at H. P. & D. M. Almand & Co. Dansrtr!

Scott, a prosperous young farmer in the southern part of this county, harvested 60 bushels of Rust proof oats from one acre of land last year. After tbe grain was in harvested the land was planted corn, and 40 bushels of corn gather¬ ed in the fall. Thus it will he seen the one acre of land made, after tbe produce was converted into money, about $75, estimating the grain at 75c per bushel. Shades of Goldsmith’s small pedagogue! brain What a wonder that one can hold so much wisdom. Senator Brown Thursday made a pointed argument in the senate in sustaining the president’s position senate's in refusing to comply to the demand for private papers. Senator Brown’s remarks are always listened to with interest by his fellow sena¬ tors, and his speech Thursday was particularly interesting and full of logical and sound reasoning. The fight against the president has been virtually Edmunds whipped, realizes and it the the better. sooner Mr. LORRAINE RIFFLES. The Sunday school at Union church is prospering. We have a full attendance. Prof. Davis’school at Union acad¬ emy’ is in a flourishing condition. Mr. Davis is an efficient teacher. It is a settled fact that Mr. John Astin went somewhere last Sunday. Ah, John! The third quarterly meeting will be at Union the first Sunday and Saturday before in next month.

If whisky goes out of Newton, and we believe the good men will put it out, Rockdale will shout a hearty amen, well done good and faithful servants, enter into the peace and quietness that Rockdale have enjoyed since she went dry.
