Fine plowing.
Mean temperature for November,
52.8. Highest 79. Lowest 29. Total
rainfall, 2.88 inches. (The normal for
November is about four inches.)
Since the heavy rain of August 2d,
only 5.59 inches of rain has fallen in
this locality to Dec. 1st, a nominal
deficit in that time of nearly 12 inches
Oat sowing began about 19th and
sowings are still in progress at the
close of the month.
Notwithstanding the drouth of Sep
tember and October, sweet potatoes,
in many instances, produced a crop of
80 to 125 bushels per acre, of mer
chantable potatoes on medium land.
Farmers and others should antici
pate a hard winter and act accord
ingly. It will probably be unusually
severe on stock.

The ladies of the Baptist Church
are so active in various ways in work
ing to raise money to pay for the
erection of their new churen that we
rather took it for granted that they
got up the play of “Our Boys,” which
was so well performed on the 26th ult,
and we so stated in our last issue. It
is proper to say, however, that it was
done by the managers of Amusement
Hall as their contribution to the good
cause for which the ladies are so
earnestly laboring.

freight train has been transferred to

Col. Humber’s House Burned.
—
Col. R. C. Humber, of the lower
part of Putnam county, has been
peculiarly unfortunate in having his
residence destroyed twice within the
last t three or four years. A cyclone
completely w recked his house several
years ago and he received personal
injuries from which he has scarcely
yet fully recovered. He then erected
a very handsome residence, supplied
it with new furniture and settled down
in it to enjoy fife. But on Monday
night, the 29th ult., when the family
were all asleep, the kitchen caught,
on fire from a badly arranged stove
pipe and it and the handsome, new
residence with a "greater portion of
its furniture, the dairy and the smoke
house, containing a good supply of
meat and other provissions, were soon
destroyed. At this writing we learn
that Col. Humber and his family are
the guests of their neighbor, Dr.
Mark Johnson, whose hospitable in
vitation to take up their quarters
with him among many others from
friends in Eatonton, Milledgeville and
the surrounding country, was accept
ed. It is sometimes almost worth a
considerable pecuniary loss, to find
out how many and true friends are
developed by our misfortunes.

MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS.
Rev. Robt, A. Adams filled the pul
pit at the Midway chapel, Tuesday
evening.
Our neighbor, George Hollingshed,
from 5£ acres of land gathered 2875
lbs. lint cotton. This was a good pro
duct considering the season.
Doctors Jones and O’Daniel went
out hunting one day last week, and
between them killed a bird. We are
gratified to learn that the dispute as
to which one killed it was amicably
settled. (It was a robin,)
An artful man is not necessarily a
follower of art. Ordinarily he is more
inclined to be a politician.
Said La Rouchfecauld—A truly vir
tuous man is one who prides himself
on nothing.
Last Wednesday and Thursday
were representative March days. The
wind blew where it listeth and car
ried the dust into every cranny.
Politicians and others who flatter
themselves that they possess the un
waning confidence and esteem of their
fellow man should bear in mind that
those who to-day “vex their ear with
acclamations loud,” will be prepared
on the least occasion to hiss them out
of sight to-morrow.
Now doth the thriftly farmer turn
under his stubble land to get the veg
etable matter well rotted.
We have a number of Judges in our
little community. One is a Judge in
fact and the rest are chiefly Judges of
small matters.
We stand corrected by the Junior
sportsman. The two gentlemen above
killed also a quail.
“He that knows a little of the world
will admire it enough perhaps to fall
down and worship it, but he that
knows it most will most despise it.”
Self praise is said to be no praise at
all but some people would get very
little if they did not resort to this
kind.

The snow has caused a considerable

Some one has said that Milton, through
marriage, was moved to make his angels
masculine,and Dante,through love to make
his feminine. Alas for those, who, by the
rhetoric of passion rather than the logic of
reason, persuade themselves, because mar
riage without love warps and embitters,
that (what calls itself) love without mar
riage would not warp and embitter a
thousandfold more! If that was purgato
ry, this would be hell.
I will sell Felt Hats and Fancy
Feathers, at greatly reduced prices,
