He will erect a beautiful dwelling at an early day. —On last Tuesday the rebuilding of Mason’s bridge was let out to the lowest bidder. The contract was taken by Judge M. H. Mason, and Mr. John R.

Notice of the same can be found in another column. —Dog-days—the days when the dog-star rises and sets with the sun— ended last Sunday. Now we hope to hear nothing more of hydro¬ phobia or mad-dogs. —We would say to the person who wrote us last week under the non Me plume of “Primitive,” that his communication was unavoidably erowded out. It appears in this is¬ sue. —If your watch, clock, sewing machine or anything of the kind needs repair, carry it to Mr. J. A. Hogue. He is a gentleman well skilled in his profession, and never fails to give perfect sath faction. — We learn that Elder T. M.

They report Norwood as having come out first best, and with flying colors, —Last week we were brought under many obligations to our friend Mr. David Ware, editor of the Dub¬ lin Gazette, for favors bestowed upon us.

While much bitterness and rancor exist in ti e Gubernatorial contest, ind the candidates are busily en¬ gaged in dismissing the merits of each other, it is a source of some gratification to know that in a ma¬ jority of the Congressional districts the party is holding firmly fo its or ■ organization. On Wednesday, the 1st, instant, Gen. Phil Cook was unanimously nominated at Ilawkins ville for re-election to Congress from the Third district. On the same day the convention of the Eighth district met in Augusta, and the name of Hon. A. II. Stephens was presented by Judge James S. Hook, and the sage of L.b rty Hall was nominated by acclamation to be his own successor in Congress. We truly deplore the confusion and division which now exist in the Democratic party of Georgia on the Gubernatorial question. We hon¬ estly think neither of the candidates are properly before the people, therefore we shall not, for the pres¬ ent, commit ourself nor advocate the claims of either party. Dissolution.

During the coining year—a year that will witness the progress and culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever taken place in this country— ever} citizen and every thoughtful person will be compelled fo rely upon the news¬ papers for information. Why not get tin* best? Abroad the Constitution is recog¬ nized, referred to and quoted from as the leading Southern journal—as the organ and vehicle of the best Southern thought and opinion—and at home its columns are con¬ sulted for the latest news, the freshest comment, and for all matters of special and current interest. The Constitution contains more and later telegraphic news than any other Georgia paper, and this particular feature will be largely added to during the coining year. All its facilities for gathering the latest news from all parts of the country will he enlarged and sup¬ plemented. The Constitution is both chronicler and commentator. Its editorial opinions, its contributions to the drift of discussion, its humorous and satricul para¬ graphs, arc copied from one end of the country to the other. It aims always to lie the brightest and the best—newsy, orig¬ inal and pieplant. It aims particularly to give the news impartially anil fully, and to keep its readers informed of the drift of current discussion by liberal but concise quotations aims, from all its contemporaries. It in short, to more than ever deserve to be knowji as “the leading Southern newspaper.” his Rill Arp letters, will continue to contribute unique which grow in sovory humor week by week. “Old Si” will add his quaint fun to the collection of good things, and “Uncle Remus ” lias in preparation a series of negro myth legends, tion. illustrating In the folk-lore of the old planta¬ every lie respect the- Constitution for 1880 will better than ever.
