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. Sam’l. A. Cook. Midway, Dec. 1, 1886. Personal Mention. is Mr. Joseph B. Beall of New York in the city. Mr. S. Barrett visited Charleston last week. Mr. George R. Kemp is superinten dent of Mosleyville Sunday School. Go to Joe* Miller’s for first class Christmas presents. When Mayor Walker puts on his glasses he means business. Miss Ella Turner of Culverton is visiting Miss Hattie Wright. Col. A. C. Westbrook of Albany was in the city last Saturday. We regret to hear of the serious ill ness of Mrs. O. L. Brown in this coun ty. We are indebted to Dr. T. H. Kenan for a copy of Gov. Gordon’s message on convict labor. Work on Mr. T. J. Fairfield’s new residence has been commenced. Mr. J. B. Fair has the contract. Capt. Walter Paine has purchased an upright piano for Amusement Hall from J. W. Burke & Co., Macon. Mr. Will Logan of Macon, was in our city on Saturday last in the in terest of the “great, and good Tele graph.” Father ^T. A. McConville, who has had charge of the Catholic church in this city, has been sent to Bruns wick. Mr. Porter Fleming of Augusta was in our city on Wednesday last, in the interest of some guano firm or manu factory. Mr. L. J. Lamar visited his father- in-law Mr. W. G. Robinson at Griffin last week. Mr. R. has been quite ill for several weeks. It is whispered here and there that the young men of this city contem plate having a fancy dress ball, about Friday, the 17th, inst. Rev. Dr. C. W. Lane of Athens was in this city last Wednesday and Thurs day. As he passes along everybody says, “there goes a good man.” Judge Sanford .visited Greensboro last week on professional business but was careful to return in time to enjoy the delightful lecture of Bill Arp. Mr. R. S. Wynn, of the firm of J. B. Williams & Co., Macon, was in the city, Saturday. He is said to be one of the best travelling men on the road. It is rumored that a worthy young farmer of this county will soon lead to the altar one of old Baldwin s most charming and accomplished daught ers. Miss Marwood Hertv left here on Saturday last, to visit Miss Minnie Wilcox of Macon, with whom she ex pects to spend the Christmas holi days. The members of the bicycle club and their friends are anxious to have a track here for races, etc., as they have in other cities. Perhaps with a little help they may be able to accom plish their purpose. Mr. Eddie Orme showed us the oth er day a china cup and saucer, which he said was 150 years old. It belong ed to the mother of Mrs. A. A. Orme, and was brought home by her on her recent visit to the North-west. 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. Capt. Tliad Lingo, conductor on the Milledgeville and Eatonton freight train has been transferred to the Wrightsvilleand Tennile road, as conductor on that line. Mr. C. M. Brake takes charge of the Eatonton freight. 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.

Liverpool—Middlings, 54d. New York—Middlings, 9±. Gold par. 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.

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, for cash, for the next 20 days, in or der to make room for an immense stock of Holiday Goods, which will be opened by or before December 1st.
