I have fitted up my store in neat style and am receiving Fresh Grocer ies, .ufectioneries, &c., daily.

Tlie City editor was asked to join a “Liars Club,’’ to be composed of some of our best citizens. Wu declined on account of having exhausted our fund, long ago; but we told the ac tive canvassef that a hull of sufficient size could not be found in tiie city, to hold a meeting, it all the truthful liars were present.

But it is not a drop in the bucket to tlie business it will encoun ter in the next two or three weeks. When tlie Dry Goods men, and the Grocery men, begin to get iu their Fall and Winter supplies, and cotton comes in for shipment to seaports, the Dummy will have as much, and more, to do than it can- handle. There are some very active aud ex perienced hands in the management we know, blit a few workers however willing and competent cannot do more than their best. President Lutnpkin will no doubt see to it that there shall be no complaint against the line for this or any other reason. We have heard several of our old citizens express the opinion that the city has no right to appoint a public weigher of tlie planter’s cotton any more than they iiave to appoint a rnau to weigh a planteis corn, meat, meal, or any of his produce which he may wish to seal. Our opinion was asked. Well, it does look that way according to their line of argu ment. We confess that we are not read up in the law well enough to ex press au opinion as to the legality of me matter pro and con; but as it is me common practice in all large oemthern cities we should conclude mat it is not an arbitrary exercise of Power by a City government to ap point a public weigher of cotton.

Among the chief matters of interest cited in the Trade Circular, are Free Ferriage over Little river at Hum ber’s Mill, and by the new Iron bridge over tlie Oconee at this city. The Wholesale und Retail business of our merchants is prominently alluded to, tlie appointment of a public weigher, the Banking facilities of tlie city, three Building and Loan Associations facilitating the erection of homes, on easy and accomodating terms, four corn mills in successful operation, ar rangements to be perfected by which the Roads and Bridges of the county shall be kept in first class condition, the splendid work already accom plished by the Dummy Line, 5 miles in length, running from the two R. R. Depots through the heart of the city, by the doors of the business houses of the main streets, and out to the Lu- natio Asylum; one of the best and most extensive Brick Works in Geor gia, the Oconee; an Ice Factory that supplies home, and, to a considerable extent, foreign consumption—Soda Water Bottling Works, two Cotton Oil and Fertilizer Mills, ample Ware house accommodations, two railroads, branches of the great Central and Georgia Railroads, passing through the city, these are some of the advan tages and enterprises that the Mill edgeville Board of Trade point to in their Circular with'commendable pride and worthy enthusiasm. Here, people ofMones, Baldwin, Put naiu, Hancock, Wilkinson and Wash ington are solid, talking facts for you to consider.

A week of pleasant weather, favor able to the saving of fodder and hay and to the growing crops. Cotton picking siiouid not be al lowed to interfere with the saving of the crop of peas and pea hay. Tlie best plan is to have both saved on shares and then buy tlie sharers’ part To make a nice quality of pea hay, begin cutting after the dew has been dispelled and shock as soon us the vines have become wfilted. Let the shocks “heat” for 24 or 36 hours, then invert and put three shocks in one and leave for a day or two. Then pull down and let tlie sun and air dry out the moisture and then house, Tlie hay will not heat again and wortli considerably more as feed. All leguminous plants—especially, such as clover, lucerne, vetches and peas require this mode of curing to make a first-quality-hay that will keep when stored iu bulk. Where the vines are rank, too close cutting should be avoided, leaving the woody part of the haum for the ben- fit of tlie laud as it is hard to cure and makes inferior forage anyway. 8. A.

Milledgeville’s Firit Bale. Jftilledfreville To The Front! She Joins in with the Advancing Age, and is Going: , to Keep up with the Procession. Her ifterchants, after,Many Years, Awaken to their Interest. Also to the Interest On Saturday, 24tli inst., 8andy Ganuaway brought to my Ware house a bale of cotton and offered it for sale. I told him it being the first bale of the season, that I would give 11 cents for it. He then told me Mr. Compton sent him to me and* told him I must give him 12 cents for it. told him to carry it back to Mr. C., at anything over 11 cents. I thought no more about it for about thirty minutes when just as I was riding away from tlie Warehouse, Sandy re turned with a copy of the Milledge ville Chronicle, containing a para graph which stated that we would pay 12 cents for the first bale of cot ton brought to our Warehouse. This suppose from tlie wording of the piece, was authorized by Mr. L. H. Andrews, and to whom I attach no blame, only that lie should have in formed ine about it, so that I could have acted accordingly. But it was all news to me. I hail not seen the >aper and at first could not see why Hr. C., should think that I ought to pay 12 cents for cotton. ’ Sandy in sisted on the 12 cents, and this, too, before I was t informed of the article in the paper Which seemed to me a kind of a nolens volens case, border ing on coercion. I trust this explanation will be sat isfactory to all concerned and set me right before tlie community. And now I will say to my farmer friends that Mr. Geo. O. Smith and other for eign buyers will be at my Warehouse on and after this week, and I will be able to obtain tlie highest market vaiue for their cotton. of the Farmers. ’And says the Prosperity of one Means the Prosperity of the Other.

Very respectfully, Samukl Evt The Leader and Controller of the Dry Goods, Shoe antiL Clothing Market of Middle Georgia, THANKSGIVING. National Thanksgivings as we have had them in this country, are entitl ed to Rttle respect. At tho North they are principally observed by gatherings of families widely scatter ed, and a big dinner with tho tradi tional pumpkin pie, doughnuts, sweet cider and “tales of my Grand father,” in the rural districts. In the cities the occasion is solemnized by big drunks, and excursions to Coney Island or some contiguous place of frolic and dissipation. The churches open, but tho congregation is not so numerous as on the Summer Sundays. At the South, tho day is a holiday. The clerks get away from the monot onous counter duties—make excur sions to tho country, or loaf around in a sort of unhappy existence, not knowing what to do. Tho churches, to get a passable congregation, con centrate at one house of worship, but even there the assembled few can al most be counted on the lingers of your two hands. Rather let onr thanksgiving, be with Isreal’s sweet songster— “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Is to bo found in tho Front Ranks of tho Advancing Column, with his Banner proudly Floating te - the Broozo, inscribed will offer Low Prices!
