Local Affairs.
Hot days and cool nights.
Read Sheriff's and Ordinary’s ad¬
vertisements found in this issue.
We will lie glad to have
friends send us ail the news in
respective localities.
Eor the last week, Col. A. F. Daley
has been feasting upon bard-headed
cabbage, beans and cucumbers.
Railroad meeting in
next -Thursday, the 24th, “and
yon forget it.”
Wrightsville continues to grow;
several new buildings will be erected
at an early day.
The boys are glad to hear that
are soon to have some one to play
“the devil” in this office.
Should our worthy Sheriff
to increase in corpulence, lie will soon
he a fit subject for Barnum’s
seum.
The communication of
_
throws light on the much muddled
Senatorial question. Don’t fail to
read it.
Read the interesting communica¬
tion of “Citizen,” and let all
their shoulders to the wheel, and
build the road at once.
The official advertisements of the
various officers of Johnson county
will hereafter be published in the
Wrightsville Recorder.
Wrightsville can boast of one of
the largest and most flourishing Sun¬
day Schools in Georgia, if we take
into consideration the size of our
town.
Our enterprising friends, Messrs.
Mixon & Barnes, now have their
saw mill in full blast, and will soon
lie able to supply the great demand
for lumber.
Read all the advertisements in this
issue and be benefited. We shall
soon have something to say in refer¬
ence to each one, as lack of space
now prevents.
The Reading Club continues to
prosper. This is an institution cal¬
culated to do much good, and we
should by all means encourage our
young friends by our attendance
upon their meetings.
No liquor sold in Johnson county.
No county in the state making more
rapid strides in the development of
its vast resources. Churches are
thickly reared. Crimes are stldomly
committed, and the jail has become
almost a useless appendage.
A Good Companion.
Moral Philosophy teaches us that
the character receives a cast from
those with whom we associate. If
this princple he true, and no person
can doubt its truth, how essential to
our spiritual necessities, as well as,
temporal enjoyments that we always
select good companions. There is
certainly no hotter companion than
a well-conducted newspaper. We
propose to make the Recorder a
first-class weekly paper, worthy a
place in every family circle. If you
assist us in out efforts and give us
your patronage, you will not only
benefit us, but you will benefit your¬
selves, your families, your county
and society at large.

Notice.
The citizens of Johnson, Washing¬
ton and Laurens comities are re¬
quested to meet at the Court House
in Wrightsville, on Thursday, the
27th instant, foj the purpose of
agreeing upon some active move to¬
wards building the proposed railroad
from Tonnille to Wrightsville and
Dublin. Many Citizens.
----
Again we would call your atten
tian to the big Railroad meetimg to
be held at Wrightsville on the 27th
inst, and would insist upon all
persons interested in this grand en¬
terprise to be present at that time,
and let’s take a pull, a heavy pull, a
long pull and a pull altogether.

Messrs. P. M. Johnson and W. R.
Daley, Agents, Atlanta Nursery,
paid their friends at home a passing
visit a few days since. Sorry the
boys left so soon, and no doubt sev¬
eral young ladies will unite with us
in our expression of regret at their
early departure.
-• *---
I>r. Flanders has been on a fishing
excursion, and informs us that he
caught a fine chance. Judging from
the fine chance of mud lie brought
back on bis clothing, he might have
crpfs.d what is known as “cow hell”
in getting to the fishing place.
Mr. B Berg, representing the pop¬
ular house of Schwed Siescl and
Gibian Grocery merchants, Macon,
Ga., makes frequent visits to our
town, and by fair dealing lias secured
for his bouse a most excellent trade
with our m rchanl.s.
General green has almost captured
Josiah John Quincy Martin Van
Buren’.s patch of corn in rear of our
office. Plough your corn Joseph,
we are afraid our visitors might
think it belonged to us.
----—
Mr. Hid Pughsley of the clothing
house of I. L. Falk A Co., Savannah,
Ga., was in town yerterday. Sid is a
jolly good fellow and by the by the
right man in the right place.
--------•-■
The long-felt want of a grist mill
in Wrightsville will soon be supplied,
as Messrs Barnes & Mixon, will soon
have one in successful operation.
♦ -*<
We are pained to announce the
death of Mr.-John R. Wilson’s little
child, who died one day this week.
-
Wrightsville is certainly blessed
with a good Postmaster, in the person
of Mr. W. P. Hicks. He is prompt,
efficient and well informed in the
duties of his office.
Let’s see who will bring us the
largest watermelon this season. We
will give for the largest melon one
year’s subscription to the Recorder.
