AV. H. Robinson, Clerk. An unusually large attendance as¬ sembled at the Baptist church on the first Sabbath in tb s month to hear the dedicatory sermon from Rev. W. H. Cooper, of Cuthbert but that gentle¬ man had been Providentially preven¬ ted being present and the dedication was postponed to the first Sabbath in July. The pastor Rev. Thos Muse, preached two excellent sermons, how- ever. LOCAL BREVITIES Potato draws sire in demand. Pure vacciue virus at Dr. Ewell's, 3Ir. P. S. Hightower is off at the springs, for the benefit of his health. Mess. James Brown and Archie Janes were in town a few days ago. Miss Jfullie Johnson left this morn- ing to visit friends and relatives in Atlanta. Mrs. J. B. Culpepper, of Blakely, spen t re d.iy in Arlington one day last week. Geo. Pace has the prettiest three- horse farm we have seen. His cotton is very tine and promising. Mr. A. S. P. McBride, the carriage and buggy manufacturer, and a good man, died in Cuthbert last week. Jos. T. Saxon sells the best liquors for the lowest amount of money tf. AVo helped to make v. ay with a ripe watermelon last Tuesday. It was raised by Mrs. L. II. Smitli, in her garden. Rev. Thos. Muse requests us to say that he will preach at the Baptist church in this place next Sunday \A 7 e learn that Mrs. A. P. Duke is still in a critical condition and the doctors say there is no hope for her recovery. Our farmers are advocating ‘‘bog’’ for Governor (of their farms) and ‘‘corn” for Congress. We heartily endorse their candidates. Fishing Tackles of all kinds at Ew- tf Pace & S> a are putting iu place machinery for siwing Lthes and other thin material. This will be an important addition to thei v nulls and one, we think, that will prove profit¬ able. Two or three of our farmers sent iu some cotton blooms last week, but there were so many others who were far ahead of them that we know they would not like for their names to be mentioned. Our young friend Jhonnie Lane, who has been studying telegraphy for some time under Mr. C. O. Hampton, has been tendered a position at Blake¬ ly, and will take charge of that of¬ fice by the first of July. Diu-iug the past two weeks Mr. C S. Harris has had tho misfortune of losing a mule and horse. This is a considerable loss, especially at this season of the year, when they are so much needed in the farm, j A few of our farmers report lies in their cotton, but not enough ns yet to do much damage. AVe would not be surprised if some disaster yot befalls the cotton crop. It is not often that we make a good crop of everything. Sewing machine needles and attach¬ ments at Ewell's drug store. tf AA’e had several fine showers ot rain since our last, which, though we were not suffering, were quite refreshing to man, beast and crops. Tho clouds at times were threatening and looked very much like there were “sly coons 11 in them. The Methodist church of this place has purchased a splendid organ from an Atlanta house, aril it arrived last Thursday week. 8120 was the price paid for it. It will prove a great aid andinprovemeut in the music we have been accustomed to. Miss Lillie Buchanon, who has been visiting friends in Arlington during the past two weeks left for her home in Blakely yesterday. She gained many friends and admirers here who will be pleased to have her re - peat her visit soon and make her stay longer. Stop chewing tobacco; it may Kill you Use Langes plugs, the only true substitute. For sale at Ewell’s. At their last meeting, the County Commissioners of Baker county plac¬ ed the liquor license in that county to §1,000 per annum. AVe notice in a letter to the Cuthbert Enterprise, from Newton, that the citizens of that place are much pleas’d with the act, and it is thought they were instru- mental in having the license placed at this high figure. Our readers were disappointed week in not receiving the Advance, but it was unavoidable oa our part. AVe could not get our print piper tin- til after it was too late to issue the Advance for last week. AVe always order paper on a certain day, and this time did not vary our rule, and the cause of delay i n its shipment is unknwnto as. These hindrances will occur to the best regulated establish- rneuts, and we hope our reader will consider Ibis and pardon us. Kind Rememberance of Friends. On last Saturday wo were riie recipients of a box of asfiiue vegatnbles as we have seen any where—large, hard, white-head cabbage, weighing over six pounds, huge beets, potatoes, cucumbers, ouioas, etc. 7 hey wore sent to us by Messrs. Jas.- Keel and Sid Cook, from Wiliamsburg, as spec- imens of their experimental garden¬ ing, and prove, conclusively, that these gentlemen, as grandeners, are a success. SiJ is not yet married, and if some nice young lady don't set her cup we will always think it was for the lack of good taste. “Surely,“Sid anys, “they could get meat and bread if I furnish us flue vegetables as these,“ Mr. Bob Brown is certainly in the lead on water melons. He brought to town a wagon load of very fine ones on Wednesday last, and says lie has several wagon loads ripe. Thanks for the one left at this office. Mrs. Collier, who lives near Blake¬ ly, sent us a white head cibbage this week that weighed 81 pounds and measured 11 inches across the hard head. It was the finest we have seen this year and would be a sight, at any¬ body's fair. Please accept our thanks, Mrs Collier. AA T e are under obligations to Mr. Willie Boynton for a peck of fine Irish potatoes, "Will is “backeloving it* 4 this year, nevertheless lib makes a good garden, nud will have sufficient experience by the time “that fair one 1 ‘ takes possesion. Capt. It. H. Lauier is as good gard¬ ener as farmer; at least,lie. k nows how to ru ike large beats. The one he sent ns last week weighed four and a half pounds, Who can beat that? Our local is in receipt of some toma¬ toes,four of which tip the beam at 21 lbs. They were raised by one of Early county's champion planters, Judge Jeff Collier. -—-• *» •---- Returned Wi’h The Small-P-x. Many of our readers are acquainted with Mr. Jessie Mercer, who was en¬ gaged in reading law at this place un¬ der Col. AVooten, a few months since, and who subsequently went on a pros peering trip out AAVst. It was only a few weeks ago that the News and Ad¬ vertiser published an interesting com¬ munication from him fiom Salt Lake City. AVe trust there may be a mis¬ take iu the following which wo clip from tno Johnpreville correspondent of the Americas Recorder: Some of our people are what you might call 'skeeved' now. The arriv>! of the small-pox in Webster has cau.s- el a great deal of excitement. Mr, Jessie J/ercer returned home from Texas about a week ago with small pox Dr, John Alston, who has treated many cases, say they are genuine. —Neivs and Advertiser. More wool has been brought to this market this season than any oao be¬ fore during our knowledge of the place. This is a cheering indication, Good prices are obtained. — Cuthbert Appeal. Yes, but when we were there this week we saw a Calhoun county man trying to make a sale of some of the fleece, but he said he was only offered 20 cents when Arlington waspaying28 cents. He did not sell iu Cuthbert, and right here let ns say to our farmers that when they want a good price for their produce or want lo buy goods cheap they should always come to Arlington. - AVe spent a pleasant little while at the home of Dr. Murchison the other day, and while there were shown through his garden and patches. Now you talk about your corn crops, tho Doctor has an acre patch that will do to brag on. Competent judges say it will make at least fifty bushels, if not more. You ought to see it, and learn from the Doctor how he makes it. He also has a good garden, all going to show that he knows something about farming as well as physic. At the last meeting of the Commit sionera of R. and R-, when Mr. Fain was looking over Dr. B’s account for “pauper practice, ” he objected to paying for anything more than tbe prescriptions and physic, arguing that the patients could pay back the visits themselves.

S. Harris was adopted at a recent meet- in 8 of that body: Reso'vcd, that our thanks-are hereby tendered to 0. s Harris, Esq., for his eloquent ad- - dress delivered on the occasion, and for the many complimentary allusions made to our organization by him during its delivery. A - NEW MILLINERY GOODS. I have received a very select stock of Millinery Goods and will be pleased to have my friends call. I am very thankful for past favors and solicit a continuance of the same. Mrs. Alice It. McClain. We Dud the following paragraph in the Paris (Ky.) Kentuckian: J. AV. Calhoun, writes from Arling¬ ton, Ga: “Kind inclosed 82 for your valuable paper. I did not intend to take the paper any longer, but have become so much interested in Rev. Geo. O. Barne's notes,'that I wish it, continued. I wish you would telj him to come down, in Georgia and start up, down here. “ The ruceeting at Leary, which has been in pi ogress during a part of this and last week, and conducted by Rev. J. B.

Around Miilford the crop prospects are fine, with the exception of a farm now and then having too much grass and weeds for tho good of its country.

It resembles the common rye, with the exception of its being perennial— growing every winfer from the stubbie If Charles will only save me the seed he promised me, that red cob, gourd seed com will be ready. Many thanks to Miss Mollio for those delicious strawberries. “Golly dey make my rnouf fly opeu cbery time I tink ob*em.“ Shy lock has no thanks for that young lady who Set the dogs on him.

SHYLOCIC. Julio 7th, Ifi82. Old Fashioned Mother. Thank God, somo of us liavo an old fashioned mother. Not it woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chignon, her curls and bustle, whose white, jeweled hands never felt the clasp of baby fingers; hut a dear old fashioned, sweet voiced mother, with eyes, in whose clear depth the love light shone, and brown hair just threaded with silver lying smooth ii] on her faded cheek. Those dear hands worn with toil, gently guided our tottering steps in child¬ hood, and soothed our pillow in sick¬ ness, ever reaching out to ns in yearn¬ ing tenderness. Blessed is tho mem¬ ory of an old fashioned mother. It floats to us now like the beautiful per¬ fume from some wooded blossoms. The music of other voices may bo lost but the entrancing memory of hers will echo in our souls forever. Other faces may fade away and he f. rgotton, but hers will shine on. When in tho fitful pauses of busy life, o in¬ feet wander back to the old home- stead, and ciossing the well worn threshold, stand once more in the room so hallowed by her presence, how the fee ling of ch ildish innocence and de¬ pendence comes over ns, and we kneel down in molten sunshine streaming through theopen window—just win re long years ago, we knelt by our rnot.li- er‘s kneo lisping,‘Our Father. 1 How many times, when tho tempter lured us on, has the memory of those sa-- ciied hours of that mother's words and faith and prayers, saved us from plunging into the deep abyss of sin. Years m ly fill great drifts between her and us, but they will not hide from our sight the glory of her pure, unselfish love. R, M. Johnson, who runs a small store with a soda water atlachment, in East Dougherty, had a quarrel with two brothers named Cooper who run the same sort of a machino in East Albany, about who should sell soda water al big negro picnics. Tbe result as, one ol the Coopers was killed and the other badly wounded, and Johnson Placed under heavy bond lo await his trial.
