Rice is bringing, one dollar per bush el in this market. Wonder what is attracting Charlie up the road so often. Our colored citizens have opened a school at this place. Read the article on our first page headed “Should They?” Mr. Joe Greer is visiting his father, Mr. N. C. Greer, of our town. Cupid’s dart lnts penetrated the heart of one of our young gents. Wonder how the pulse of our can didates for the legislature beats ? Trade is rather dull. Farmers are tod busy with their rice to visit town. We hate to give oitr leaders manu factured locals—no other kind to be had. Coffee is hard to beftt on pretty women, rice, and the number of can didates.

ECHOLS SOLID FOR NORWOOD, From a gentleman who visited Clinch court this week we learn that Echols county is almost a unit for Norwood and honest government. He met a large number of gentlemen from every portion of the county, who said there were but three Col quitt men to be found within its lim its. founeTdeao, Col. Geo. B. Williamson, an old citizen of Waycross, was found dead in his office yesterday morning, sup posed to have died on Monday. Col. Williamson had an incurable cancer on his face that had eaten through into his mouth. In this condition it is thought his deatli was produced by a dose of laudanum administered by his own baud. He was about seven ty years of age. » ■ -**► Goods and cash exchanged for pro duce at Wm, Barker’s Our Berrien county friends will please pay over what they are due the Gazette to A. H.

The Atlanta Constitution’s ac counts of the utter annihilation of Mr. Norwood and the speakers sup porting him by Gov. Colquitt and his campaign canvassers, remind us of Smith’s description of his victory over Jones in a fist and skull fight at the Jug Tavern cross-roads. Smith, to do him justice, told the story of his triumph with a modest reluctace which did him ihfiihite credit. In reply to an urgent ques tion as to the real facts of the fight Smith said ; “Well, it happened just about this way. You see I wanted Jones to exhaust his strength, so I let him hit me a devil of a , lick in the left eye. That seemed to weaken him consid erably, and then I executed a piece of artful strategy. 1 led him cn until he tangled one of his legs Between mine, while I kept one of his arms twisted around my neck, and then I lay down on my Back and compelled Jones to come down on top of me with a heavy thud that jostled him considerably, Ti en I ingeniously led liim to exhaust him self by hitting me several licks in the mouth, and then by a brilliant move ment that heat Napoleon .ail hollow I inserted both of my wr ste through Jones’ har.il, and in another moment I stuck my nose bet". ;en his teeth aud then I had him! By George, boys, I had Jones then where he couldn’t move a peg. I did, pon honor. Then we were separated, and I never saw a fellow as much exhausted as Jones was. And J. felt somewhat fatigued myself.” The Cclqnitt speakers arc wiyiung just such victories as Smith was ’.'rag ging over, ColumiM Enquirer; | When senator Norwood made his ; speecli at Emory college, Gov. Col : quilt was on the platforfn, warmly : congratulated him and complimented j the address. Now that Gov. Colquitt I dishes the ballots of negroes, 4 he j quotes passages of the speecli he j praised so highly, to prejudice the I colored people against Norwood | Such conduct is generally thought unbecoming in a demagogue, but how should it be regarded when a cliris ' tian statesman adopts such a course of. action ?—Enquirer-Sun. Saddles and dress buttons at Wm. Barker's. -«*• Atlanta, September 7. —The Re publican State convention was in executive session all day,-trying to determine wbat policy it*should pur sue in the present campaign. An ef fort to endorse Norwood for governor ! was overwhelmingly defeated, and a resolution passed declaring it inexpe dient to nominate a governor or other officers. The sentiment is strongly in favor of Colquitt, A CARD. I regret very much to inform my friends that owing to circumstances by which I am surrounded, that I cannot serye them as Clerk of the Superior court, hence I decline to to contiue the race, and most respect fully ask those who intended support ing me to confer the favor upon Mr. Ward, the present incumbent, a gen tlemen of experience and ability. your Obt.

We certainly muff run.the race.for something, and as we have never had the honor of hold ing any office we now come out as an independent candidate, fearing the influence of no one ; but to be sure ar.out it, it is for a better half. Ha, ha, ha! what a! feeling it Produces just to be a candidate!! * We are glad to note the interest our people are taking in the culture of upland rice. It is fast becoming a paying product, yielding a hand some profit. A rice machine would pay well in this county, and. Pearson would be a splended place to locate it. It is our presumption that the vision of some of cur candidates are pretty sumbre, and before the election is over, there will be a grand prome nade among them. It was Saturday night. Not many weeks past, was told ye reporter by a country lad. He was sitting by the side of a pretty girl of twelve summers, he, asked to address her. Turning to him.she said, “Jolihy, its all right with me, but, oh, heavens! if I must tell the truth, mama says I am too young to spark.” You can get a hogshead of bacon or a paper of pins at Wm.
