Pursuant to call, the people of, tiAuren* county assembled in mass mooting on yesterday (the 6th ihsfc.,) • to take some action ih regfjfl-d to tho 4 Oconee river appropriation. The 'meeting w’lurcalle'd to order by Sher iff Mntahdoh, bhil Ool. 0. S. Ouv- ; ton was cailed tb tho Chair and Mr. J R. 8. Blftckshear requested to act us •'SoOrbtkry. After the object of the meeting Wiis explained, I)r. J. T. Tihlippell offered the following roso- 'lution: - Whereas, an appropriation of •10,000 has been appropriated by Congress, for clearing out tho Oco nee river. Therefore, bo it rosolved .by the peoplo of Laurens county in conven tion this day assembled that it is the sense of onr peoplo that it is most to the interest of tho matter in question thut Ool. Frobel, who seoniB to have tho mutter in chargo to pro ceed to do tho work or have it dono under his supervision, and that in case it is impracticable for him to do so at once, that he or whoso ever is authorized, put the matter in the hands of tho sovon following named gentlemen us commissioners, to wit: Joel T. Oonoy, Oapt. T. F. Will iams, of Montgomery oounty, Ool. 0. S. Guyton, Hon. J. T. Ohuppell, Judge Jno. T.JDUnoan, Dr. Luoion T. McBride, or Washington oounty, Mr. T. M. Freeman, of Wilkinson county, who may bo empowered with all authority delegated by Con grew in making this appropriation and oarrying on tho work. After tho resolution was offorod, Stubbs, who always dies hard, rose and spoko for two hours to got tho mooting to endorse tho notion of his meeting on tho 22d ultimo. But after ho had exhausted ovary "way that was dark, and triok that was tain," only nine or ion out of a court home full sustained his substi tute, He failed as signally us ho did in the male transastion in Macon. This matter of appropriation being settled, the abolition of whiskey from Laurens oounty was thon takon into consideration. After a heated debate, the following resolution was adopted by a small majority: Resolved, that it is the sonso of thie mooting that tho salo of intoxi cating liquors is demoralizing and immoral in its influence on tho poo pie of Laurens oounty, and should be abolished by the Legislature at Urn earliest day practicable. Laurens Hill, Got. 88,1878. JW. Poet: Your readers will romombor the rude reply of Jaoobus to my criticism upon the errors he mado on tho questions mentioned. That is not worthy of a reply, as it wan a vigorous effort to dignify and bolster wp what he knew was error, or that it was inexcusable lack of information. 1 therefore write limply to confirm my opinions, vrhioh 1-do by qnoting high authority, hav ing their replies before me. 1 quoto first from a gentleman who is quite familiar with politics and who has large experience, haying served long time as chairman of the State Executive oommmitteo: »*The chairman of an Ex. commit tee*!! first duty is to call togethor his committee and they fix the time for pteeting of a convention. But never pn hia own responsibility when it is puwible to assemblo tho committee. Otherwise, bp may assume thp re sponsibility. A congressional oom mitteemen has no authority whatever in calling a convention' over tho chairman. Their duty is confined jo district meetings and not the pounty convention. They are ap- pq’nted by tho ohairman 6f tho dis- Jript committee. County meetings regulated strictly by county pommittews.” Another author OU the other ques tion says: "Gan, Cuok introduced the bill for the suney of the Oconee river from 'its mouth to Milledgeville. He also introduced bills for appro priation ; to dleau it out, as the jour nals of congress will show, and any statement to the contrary is false. Col. Blount and Gen. C. acted m perfect harmony in this os most other masters. ” Came. -Johnson Items* Mr. J. W. Orofford will soon have some brick ready for Bale. Large quantities of guano cotton has left tho county within the past week. Mr. Hodges Snell was driving a certain young lady around Wrights- vflle hint Friday. Tho potato crop is a pretty good one and is nearly all gathered. Our Doctors have been complain ing of a few days rest within tho pust week. Wo hope they will have plenty of them in tho future. Johnson county has five candidates for Tax Collector and one report says throe for shoriff but tho old sheriff who is one of them still holds.the in side track. Two gentlemen from Johnson took dinner at a public table in San- dcrsvillo during tho Fair. Ono of thorn usked the proprietor, who was colored woman, what she would cook for him for another yeaar. She stopped a moment pointed at the other gentleman, who seemed to be trying to eat the worth of his fifty cents and Baid, is that man going to Btay with you? Yes. Well den I will ohargo you fifteen dollars a mont, Messra. Daniel Smith and F. M. Drako wore out in the woods last weok sitting down quietly talking their dogs lying around. Suddenly a largo buck popped out from the bushes amongst tho men and the dogs. They caught the deer, the men and dogs, and, after u tromen dous struggle one of the men succed ed in cutting the deer’s throat. A Berious difficulty occured at Mn. Williamson Flanders’s at a corn shuoking last week terminating in a fight between two young men. sons o?

Georgia bonds havo grown to bo t.ho most solid investments now in tho market. They are steadily growing in valuo in spite of tho faot that the most deliberate attempts havo boon made in Wall street and other quarters to injure the oredit of tho Btate on the plea that portion of her debt has boon repudiated. It is to be hoped however, that the results have satisfied these . sinister-minded individuals that it is utterly useless to atteinpt to break down the credit of a prosperous Stnto. The admirable management of our finau oes by Treasurer Ren free, under the administration of Governor Colquitt, together with the safe-guards provi ded by the new const*tntion will make these bonds the most desirable investments in the land.—Atlanta Constitution.

When the train stopped at Coohran, Mr. Buroh requested the conductor to stop his train before arriving at Eastman so that he could get off and not have to walk half a mile baok through the rain. When nearly opposite his residence, the train halted, and Mr. B. stepped off the train, but instead of stepping on the ground as ho supposed, he hap pens to get off just at the place where there happened to be a short tressle and went down about fonrteen foet. He managed to get up and make his way home, when Dr. H Fisher was summoned, who carefully examined him, but found no bones broken or any serious injuries.

Beauty, wit, high birth, vigor of health, desert in service, love, friend ship, oharity, are subject all to envy and calumny. What politics is to a man, shop ping is to a woman; and while the former works up tho ward, the latter works up the wardrobe.

But to get the convenience to do the cooking has boon the one thing needful. Heretofore, if the heater pr rtoumer could do the work, it was either too costly, too heavy, or required too much time and fuel to set it to work. Marshall’s renowned invention meets the long desired wunt. 1st. It is cheaper by far than any other effective machine iu the world that does its work. Sd. It sits upon ft light frame, by which it may be lifted and carried from place to place by two small lads. 8d. With it the washing of clothes is rendered comparatively easy by the mere motion of the furiously boiling water, the steam bleaching them white. 4th.
