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.
