Read the firm’s advertisement and then go for the goods, with the cash. —We will pnblish a sketch of our trip to Columbus, in ou: next issue.

R. will stop at Oglethorpe, and those ceming down the road, will stop at Biitlcr. Conveyances will be in attendance at both place3. Good Corn Yield.—Mr. H. T. Hollis, of this county, has, fifteen acres of bottom land on his planta tion, which yielded this year forty bushels of corn to the acre. Had the seasons been favorable, he believes that it would have yielded fifty bush els or more to the acre. This is what Marion county bottoms can do, when seasons are good, * ■* * Stolen^— Mr. Ciias. Bradshaw, li.ingln the Pino Desert, in this county, >d a fat ox stolen out of his pasture on Wednesday night last: In the same community, on the same night, a colored man, named Ben Johnson, also lost a fine fat ox stolen.* The proper authorities should look afterl this matter. The prevalence Of roguery in that community, is be coming alarming. We understand that these thieves have been traced through Buena Vista. v -1520 to the Ear.—We were shown recently by Mr. Thos. L Bfljfy" near a euri osity-igrowtv on his plan taction . It was an ear of i mlian corn having thirty-eight full Vows, the rows av eraging, forty grains each—some going up aa. ,Liglr as iii’ty. Jkk makes a total of fifteen hundred and twenty* grain of corn Jo the oar. " ’"''Hr, Rogers assured us his porn produced many ears like this. Jrite ears are so large that thev ean ’hbt he shelled through an,ordinary fjorn shgller. 1 Mkwmmr* 1 3 Peacock. —Thu angel of death vis ited the family of Mr. Thompson Pea cock, and took away the pride and joy of the household. Little Byron Peacock, a bright boy of about seven years, died ou Saturday night laßtof a congestive chill. He was buried iu the Buena Vista cemetery on Sun .day, WtlkiXS.—Mrs. Minerva Wilkins, consort of Mr.'Wilfiam wilkins, re siding in the northern portion of this county, died on Saturday night last, lamented by her family, who loved her dearly and by many friends and acquaintances by whom she was greatly esteemed. She was the daughter of Mr. John ICemp, deceas ed, who was a citizen of this county. Iter remains were interred in the family hurrying ground, on Sunday following. We extend to the respective fami lies of the deceased our condolence and sympathy. Roads. If reports, relative to mads in the Kineltafoonee district of this county, be true, travelers mutt have rough jolt rigs on some of them. A gentleman re marked, on Saturday, that two of three wagons, last Week, loaded with cot ton, going to Columbus, not being able to maintain a proper centre o( gravity, wire forced to accept a hori zontal posilion. These accidents hap pened in lets than eight miles from this place. It may bo amusing to some people to laugh at frightened tcamnters and muddied clothing, but we imagine there is no amusement for a farmer to see bis wagon broken or a valuable an imal injured or ruined because of bad roads, aDd it may be properly asked whether the highways have been prop erly worke-i, especially when such ac cidents happen this far from market so early iu the season. It is not the quantity of work, but the manner in which it should bo done, that keeps roads in good condition. A littl3 thought will often suggest some thing more than tilling up a bole or gully. Every hoe full of dirt should be so placed as to be of permanent bene fit and not to be washed awap by the first rain. A Marion County Snake. Mr. J. J. McDowell, residing at Thorntonville, in this county, has in bis possession the skin of probably the largest rattlesnake ever killed in this count*, £The snake was discovered, near his residence, and was first at tacked by a dog. One strike inject ed its deadly virus, and the dog died in great agony ten minutes after. Mr. McDowell shot the snake twice before it received its death wound. Its skin required a bushel and a half of cotton seed or bran to fill it, being in length six feet and two inches. Thirteen rattles adorned its tail. An account of this big snake's capture and death has been in print before, as it occurred in the summer. We give it for the benefit of our readers who have not read it. We once saw a man who was pas sionately fond of rattlesnake flesh, well prepared in the ordinary man nerof preparing wild game. If the thieves, who infest Fine Desert, will turn their attention from hogs and cattle to'rattlesnakes and other rep tiles, an appreciative public will be highly gratified. If a few suffer the fate of tlie dog, so much the better— we know; several; good citizens, who would be glad, to attend their funer als. — Blindness from SgiiE Eyes.—Mr. W. C. Glaze, or thl3 County; has been afflicted with sore eyes for qbout two months, which ha3 terminated in almost total blindness inoni and par tial blindness in the other eye. Thin should not only remind us of the im portance of applying active remedies in the early stages of this disease, but impress us with the dangers of indifference or delay. How dark the world is to one of such blindness. —Cotton is being ni|.udiy carrot to Columbus and Americus from th s county. A large portion also goes to Geneva. Cotton was selling in Ge neva yesterday at 10 Jc for the beat. New Advertisements- P. L! WISDOM BUENA VISTA, GA.
