Any one wishing to communicate with Mr. Hall can leave their names at this office or at the store of the Messrs. Caraker. midway paragraphs. Many in the vicinity may not know some may have forgotten—that out a mile beyond the village on what was once known as Beckom’s Mount, now generally known as Smith's Mt., is a grave somewhat fallen into decay, the marble slab of which bears this in scription: Erected by the State of Georgia to the memory of —Samuel Beckom— One of her sons and a soldier of the Revolutionary War. Born 24th of November, . 1760, Died, 2nd November, 1825. Generous to a fault, Warm and devoted in friendship. Here in a few yards of one of those deep ravines common to the locality— amid the swaying pines and the spreading branches of the dogwood and the hawthorn and almost hidden by the tangled briar—far from the maddening crowd—rest the remains of one who probably served his day and generation faithfully—but now forgotten by the world. * * * * * * Speaking of graves, just back from the village street in the little cemete ry of Midway, reposes the remains of one affectienately remembered, even by many whose locks are still un flecked with grey. Just inside the gate, surrounded by a wooden picket is a grave bearing the name of Samuel K. Talmage, a man distinguished in the state for his learning and piety and whbse name is entitled to be held in ever lasting remembrance as it is divinely asserted that the name of the just shall be so esteemed. A few hundred yards away, still resides the noble widow of the subject of this para graph. There as retired almost as monastic life itself, and as an invalid she spends the evening of her days ex tending unobstrusively many acts of charity and kindness to the poor and unfortunate about her—her life (un- felt by herself, perchance) is a sweet perfume to those living near her. A circus certainly has greater draw- I ing power than a holiness meeting. Thursday evening College Avenue was a scene of more than usual liveli ness, caused by the return of the ru ral inhabitants, (white, black and yel low) to their deserted homes. As the son of Erin remarked, the road was full of pedestrians, some on foot, some on horse-back, wagon-trains a mile long, cavalcades of mulemen, oxcarts in a trot, jammed full of women and children, mules and horses with two aback, babies, larger children, all col ors, venerable gray beards, (the lat ter going only to see the animals.) Men, women and children—all that could borrow a half a dollar, went to see the circus, and all seemed as hap py as happy could be. Let all go to work now and by honest toil, lay up 50 rents for the next one, for there is nothing that delights the soul of the rural resident so much as a circus, even if he only sees the procession, and has to wade through six feet of dust to see that. Dr. Jones is something of a sports man as well as a good doctor. He is thinning out the partridges fast in our preserves. A sober second thought brought a good many to the conclusion that the holiness meeting was a good thing af ter ail. Some “that went to scoff,” so to speak, “remainedat prayer.” Hear ing should come before judging, al ways. Some people, and some right good people too, measure success in life by die amount of money that can be scraped together in a few years. Alas!

HAUL, as Proprietor, lOy. trade .Success the mark no mortal wit, Or surest band can a'ways hit; For whatsoe'er we perpetrate, We do but row we are sterned by fate; Which in success oft disinherits, For spurious causes noblest merits. Great actions are not always true sons Of great and mighty resolutions, Nor do the boldest attempts bring forth, Events still equal to their worth, But sometimes fail, and in their stead Fortune and cowardice succeed. (Hulibras.) HYMENIAL. In this city, on Thursday last, at o’clock p. in., at the residence of the bride’s mother, Miss Fannie C. Lane, was united in marriage to Mr. R. E. Millen of Jasper county. The cere mony was performed in an impressive manner by Rev. A. J. Beck in the presence of a number of relatives and friends. The attendants were Miss Dodie Lane and Mr. T. J. Irby of Flovilla; Miss Gussie Pounds and Mr. J. D. Lane; Miss Jennie Moore and Mr. E. B. Skinner. The bridal pres ents were handsome and numerous. The happy pair left on the 5 p. m. train for the home of the groom in Jasper county. The Union-Record er unites with many friends in wish ing them long, happy and useful lives. It’s strange that the autumn- poets, who are waiting for the first frost, don’t tackle this dusty drouth. Don’t forget to turn out on Tues day, the 2nd day of November, and vote for J. H. Blount for Congress. Revenue Reform—The political fight in New York is being made chiefly on rev enue reform. The leading Northwestern Democrats think that Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, could all be carried on that issue. In the past ten days the Lunatic Asylum has been the Mecca of the pleasure seekers of Putnam. At three different times large crowds have come down to view “ye greatest charity*’ and made quite a gala day of it. We take the liberty of extend ing in behalf of our venerable usher an invitation for the rest of the world to come down or up or over and spend a day or two with him in the enjoy ment of such innocent pleasure as the scene affords—but let all bring their own lunches, &c. It was rumored that Dr. O’Daniel whose cheerful countenance is a daily blessing about Lunaville, contemplates at an early day a visit to the stricken city by the sea. He will doubtless bring back a reliable report as to whether property has really depreciat ed there or is worth more than ever. In any case may he return to as in safety. LOCAL AND BUSINESS NOTICES.
