Night before last as Messrs. Wilhelm and Gorth were working in the back room of their tallot Ing establishment, some one entered the front room and carried away two pairs of pants, without even so much as “by your leave, sir.” They have no clue to the perpetrator of the bold theft. Last night some one robbed the bag gage-master on the 8. W. train of • nice new suit of clothes which he had just bought. He does not know whether they were stolen at Geneva or on the route for Columbus. We also beard that the money drawer in one of the stores on Broad street was robbed yesterday morning, but we were unable to ascertain the particulars. 1 ■ " I I A large lot of those handsome STET SON HATS just received at Thornton A Acer's.

W. Barnes, conductor and superintendent of th it. road, on the bead with a rock in LaFayette Tuesday night, inflicting an ugly, but not serious, wound. It is said the blow split the scalp several inches, and, had it struck an inch further back, it would have crushed the skull. The scoundrel will, doubtless, have am ple time, while peeping through the bars, to sober up. A splendid lot of Georgia Seed Barley and Bust Proof Oats, at novl9 St D. A VERE FT’S. C. & R. Railroad. The third and last installment of Iron for the extension of the Columbus and Rome railroad is now arriving at the de i pot, the first shipment being received yes terday.

'Possum hunting around cane patches is the way they do it now. Several star companies played in Tal botton last Wednesday night. A larger area than usual is being seeded down to small grain in the county. Mr. W. J. Mcßryde, has this year raised corn of prodigious proportions, sixty eight ears of which shelled out a bushel. A tremendous big coon or 'possum cams near being caught lately In Gorman’s syr up patch. A salute of one gun was given Mr. W. L. Huff, of Talbot Valley, will make nineteen bales of cotton on nineteen acres of bottom land. This is good farm ing. Mr. John A. Clements, who has given such perfect satisfaction to his patrons the present year, has been elected by the trustees as principal for 1880 of Collins worth Academy. Mr. Clements is an earn est and zealous worker in his profession, and deserves the full support of the com munity in which he teaches. One day last week, as Jillson Evans, colored, was cleaning out a well for Mr. L. N. Graft, near Pleasant Hill, a large bucket full of debris, when near the top of the well, broke loose from the rope and was precipitated to the bottom, in its descent striking the colored man on one shoulder, crushing it in a most painful manner. The negro is in a most critical condition. The above we glean from the Georgia Register to whom we return thanks for a flattering notice. 100,000 Lilley Strawberry Plants $4.00 per 1,000.

The cotton brought by the Jordan was consigned as follows: Blanchard Williams A Co., 157 bales of cotton; McGehee A Hatcher 22; Slade A Etheridge 16; Eugene Lawrence 10; Flour noy A Epping 5.

A gun tleiuau nays that it was snowing heavily whou he urosaed Pino Mountain, about noon, aud that he traveled iu the snow for several hours. A sleet followed the snow, which rendered it very disagreeable travellug. Wo also learn that sleet fell in Craw ford, Ala., night before last, and was still on the ground yesterday morning. It was very cold in tlie city aud sleeted for half an hour about 2 o'clock lu tlio morning, but was followed by a hard rain, which washed away all traces of it, ■■■ ■— Got His Grip Sack, Jo.

Home other fellow, without the fear of the grant hereafter, had gotten off before Jo. did, and strange to say with the other fellow wont Jo.'s grip-suck. It the other fellow was as big as Captain Bates, we'd like to see him get into Jo.'s now suit of clothes, which he says wa» lu it. ■ S ♦ S !■» A Man Gets Cut. At the Masonic Hull lu Browevllle last night, where a ball was given for the ban dit of Mr. Albi ight's school, a difficulty occurred between the doorkeeper and an intoxicated man who wished to get in. The doorkeeper refused to admit him, when a fight insued which resulted In the doorkeeper gettiug an ugly gash In his nose. A physician present sewed up the gash, and the wounded man exjierienced uo serious iuoonvenlence. Pay Your Taxes. All those iu arrears for taxes had beet come forward at once and settle them, as Mr. Andrews will soon close his books. He will, however, give them one more chance, and now makes his third aud last call. In order to save trouble aud money, It will be well for all those who have fail ed to get a receipt to take advantage of this opportunity of doing so. Skating Rink Last Night. The skating rink couutiuues the sensa tion of the day. At the gentlemen's prac tice last night, a large number were as sembled. A half mile race was impro vised, in which a young attorney from Giiffin made the extraordinary time of a half mile in three minutes, distancing a Gate City tourist. The five positions in skating, as sketch ed by Matt O’B., attract much notice from lovers of art. Thanksgiving Day. Gov. Colquitt has issued a proclamation appointing Thursday, the 27th inst., as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The people of Georgia have much for which to bethankful, and they conldnot better show their appreciation of the Almighty's goodness to them than by observing the day set apart by the Governor. ♦ Crops m Florida. From the Marianna (Jourier we learn that the crop prospects iu West Florida, aud particularly Jackson county, are most distressing. We trust that the pa per has been misinformed as to the extern of the injury. It states that iu many oi the localities there is barely corn enough made to supply the want until January, besides the cotton unpicked in the fields at the time of the freshet is a total losr- Those few of the more fortunate, who “took time by the forelock” and housed their corn, must divide with the destitute. It will be necessary, however, that a large number of bushels must needs be shipped here. The condition of this county sot the next crop is worse than ever before, and assistance must come or starvation and famine is inevitable. Opelika Dots. The steeple of the new Methodist church is nearly completed. Uncle Ben Cooper has two handsome, pure white turkeys in his poultry yard. They are beautis. The ladies composing the Baptist Asso ciation in this city are incessant workers, having raised from various sources, this year, over two hundred dollars. Married, at the residence of the bride’s father, in Chambers county, Alabama, on Tuesday evening, November 11, by Rev. H. R McCoy, Mr. J. B. Finney and Miss Mollie Wilson. Mr. Frank Echols, our genial express agent, is not only versed in his vocation as expressman, but told us the other day “what he knows about f irming.” Ou a one-horse farm, inside of the Incorporation he will make a yield of 150 bushels of rice, 75 bushels of corn, 100 bushels of sweet potatoes, and eight babs of cotton. The lands embrace old and new grounds, and he used only one ton of guano. Gleaned from the Opelika Leader. Cusseta Garlic. Few people attended the circus from here. The cotton crop, generlly, Is turning out badly. There have been several sales of real estate in and around town recently. Trade among the merchants Is ex tremelj’ dull for this season of the year. We are to have a dally mail here next year from Columbus, and we say, “let her roll.” There are as few gossiping woman and dissipated men in Cusseta as in any vil lage in the State. The question of abolishing this county is agitated daily, aud will be tested as early as practicable. Hon. L. Harp and other prominent citi zens will move into town from their plan tations in a few weeks. The mereotic shower was watched for Thursday night by some of our citizens, only to be disappointed. Two or three marriages will take place in this vicinity soon, if madame rumeris correct, and we may have to report two or three suicides, if certain ones don't cheer up. One of our young men wanted to go to Geneva to serenade his sweetheart a few nights since, while another looks In the direction of Talbotton and repeats with a wearied look: “Oh, in these minutes I am on the rack, For sure the greatest evil man can know, Bears no proportion to thee, dread suspense,” Many of our best citizens have moved to Columbus, and several others will soon follow. Among the number is Hon. Abb Wooldridge, whose loss Chattahoochee will deeply feel. Tax Collector J. M. Davis announces that his books will be closed on the Ist of December, when executions will be issued against all delinquents. An extension of time is wanted.

A priest, after vainly trying to explain the nature of a miracle to a doubting Irishman, suddenly stopped, kicked him, and asked: “Did you feel that?*' “Yes," said the Irishman.

She was very drunk, and her silk dress was rumpled. Her mother came looking for her an hour later. “Can't I see her?” sue asked. “She’s too drunk to speak,” the Serg-wnt said. "What shall I do?” the mother cried despariugly. “I must see her.” “U m’t be d une.” The aged mother burst into tears and leaned on t he shoulder of a man wiio was with her. “This is awful,” she said. “O, dear 1” ’ Don’t take on so,” said the Ser geant. "You will see her iu the morning.” “It isn’t that,” the mother replied; “she’s all right. It’s the silk dress I’m troubled about. She’ll tear it all to pieces before morning.”—Sun. The Molherlefm. Sitting in the school-room, I over heard a conversation between a sis ter and brother. The little boy com plained of insults or wrongs received from another little boy. His face was flushed withanger. The sister lis tened awhile, and then turninguway, she answered, “I do not want to hear another word ; Willie has no moth er.” The brother’s lips were silent the rebuke came home to him. and stealing away, he muttered, “I never thought of that.” He thought of his own mother, and the loneliness of ‘ Willie” compared with his own happy lot. "He has no mother." “Do we think of it when want comes to the orphan, and rude words assail him. Has the lutle wnn derer no mother to listen to his little sorrows? Speak gently to him, then. —Good News. Fred Douglass, Jr., remarked the other day that the negro exodus was “an attempt to stop up one hole by boring another.” He, like his father, warns negroes thattbe story of homes and employment in the North is all a delusion. “If,” he said, “there is so much milk and honey In the North and West In the way of employment, how can you account for so many Northern colored people seeking bonus in the District of Columbia and the South? lam a printer by tiade, and never worked in any office ou'side the one owned by my father up North In my life; the Republican offices werealways full when I knock ed at their doors seeking employ ment.” The Republican organs should really go to the trouble of young Douglass’ remarks. They are quite suggestlye and logical. KIMi I Nil THU ttim UOW A OANDIDATR FOR (lOVF.IINOR OF MINHOI 111 OONIII , rs 111 . . , While Colonel Allen wan dlm u*’-ing nail..mil tinmes on the hotel plaU .

"No, a boy,” replied the mother. “Ah, yes, now that I come to look at it more closely I detect th.'strong, manly features of a boy,"the Colonel hastened to say. "Please, may I kiss the little cherub?” Colonel Tom shut his eyes and ex exploded an osculatory sound on tin fuzzy face and the child put up a big lip and threatened to cry. “He Usuch a,beautiful child,"mur mured Colonel Tom, “such eyes, such a head, such an exiNtnse of fore head, such a mouth, such a wealth of complexion, such a sweet, tr.m<iuil expression.” "La! me, you don’t really think so, do you?” simpered the flattered mother. “I never saw a sweeter little cher üb,” said Colonel Tom; “I believe I’ll have to kies him again." Having gone through a second os culatory martyrdom. Colonel Tom assumed a seraphic look—a look calculated to strike taffy to the most hardened feminine heart, aud got right down to business. “I’m a candidate for Governor," said he, “and nothing would give me greater joy than to feel assured that I had the support of the father of the sweet babe. Come, let me hold the little darling in my arme. I do think he Is the sweetest little angel 1 ever eawl” The flattered mother Rave up the fuzzy baby with profuse a|>oiogi. s about its not being well dressed, &c The fuzzy baby writhed and squirmed and grew red in the face, and wrinkled itself all up and then lay calm and composed on Colonel Tom’s strong right arm. "The lit’ln precious!” cried Colonel Tom. “You’ll tell his father how much I thought of his little cherub, won’t vou, ma’am? And you’ll tell him I’m a candi late for Guvernor, eh, ma’am?” The poor woman’s face dropped and big salt tears came into her eyes. "Oh, sir,,’ she said, “you don’t know what you ask. Mv poor bus band died two months Hgo.” There was a far-off lock in Colonel Tom Crittenden’s golden glinted eyes, as he gently but firmly dunqied that fuzzy baby on the bereaved wo man’s lap and walked straight back to the platform and replaced himself on a bench.—Nt. Louis 2'iines-Jour nal. Patterning Turkeys.—Chi is'mss tuik-ys ate already being brought to mat ket and some of them are very poor. Now is the time to fatten tur keys. Every night and morning the turkey should have a full supply of nutritious and fattening food. Boil ed potatoes mashed and mixed in meal, and moderately wurm, Is very excellent food both to fatten aod to promote growth. Just now turkeys cannot procure insects to eat, and tfieir place should be supplied. Butcher’s scraps is one of the cheap est and most desirable forms of food for poultry. Grain should be given at least once a day with the soft aud warm feed. Nothing is bet er than sound corn. In feeding, only so much corn should be thrown out as the turkeys will eat up clean. To fatten chickens for the table they should have sound and virlous food, warmth and cleanliness. Give good clean water for them to drink. In addition to their regular diet of good corn, cake of ground oats or beans, brown sugar, milk and mut ton suet is excellent. Let the cake lie until it Is etale, then crumble it and give each chicken a gill of u ev ery morning and evetdng. N » enti.e grain should be given to fowls dur ing the time they are f itteuing. In abort, thev should h ive a plenty of nutitlous food and in such a form that their digestive mills shall find no difficulty in grinding it,—2£arc. Convict Labor.—An interesting discussion took place on the four teenth instant before a joint commis sion from New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, regarding ttie labor of prison convicts. Widle it was generally admitted that there were evils connected with the con tract system, it was contended tint these had be n a good deal exagger ated, Experts from different S ates condemned the partisan manage ment of the prisons as the source from which flowed mostofthediffl ctilties connected with prison labor. There is no reason why the labor of convicts should not. be so employed as to be very beneficial both to the prisoners and to the public.

The m<*st approved rumedins for such cases had lieeu used, and the most emineut physicians con sulted. without any decided beu«-fit. Thus pros trated, distressed, d<-spoudlug, 1 was a-lMsed by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga.. to comineucs the use of your Compound Extra* t Mtdiiugia. Language is as insufficient to describe the relief 1 obtained from tne use of the Mtillingiaas it is to c<>uv»y an adequate idea of the intensity of my Buffering before using your mediciue; suf ficient to say, I abandoned all other rummies and continued tue use of your Extract of Htiihugia, until 1 can say truly, sm cured of all pain,” of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More tbau eight mouths have elapsed since this r< markable cure, without auy return of the disease. For the truth ot the above statement, I refer to any gentleman iu Bartow county, Ga., and to the memfe rs ot the bar ol Cheroke«- Circuit, who are acquainted with me. 1 shall ever remain, with tue deepest gratitude, Your obedient servant, J 0.

Many pieces of nous came out of the right foot aud leg. Tue case was then pronounced oue of Whit* Hwrlliug. Alter having been confined about six years to her bed, aud the case considered hope less, 1 was induced to try Dr. Pemberton's Ccui pound Extract of Htilllngia, and was so well satis fied withits effects that 1 have continued ibs use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned uver without help. Hhe now sits up all day, and sews moat of her time—has walked across the room.
