TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS. Subscribe. Advertise. The man who admired the beautiful snow has got enough at last. The mud and slush make it anything but pleasant under foot. A few weeks ago it was too much politics, now it is too much weather. Dr. M. J. Dudley, our Representa tive, left Tuesday night for the CapL tal. The candidate is no longer abroad in the land, and we have peace once more. Since Uncle Sam. is issuing specie small change old-fashioned long purses are slowly comfng into usejagain. Col. Joe. McConnell is having a handsome and commodious residence reared on his place just out of town. Rabbit hunting was the chief sport during the snow, and every hunter us ually brought back as many as he could carry. The newest style dresses are flat be hind, the horrid bustle having entirely departed The ladies can now sit down whenever they choose. Mr. Hightower is at his old quarters again,having given up the Calhoun Ho tel on the first of the year. Our farmers say that unless some heavy freezes follow the snow, the wheat crop when harvested will repay us well for the aunoyance this weather has caused us. There is a fair prospect for a heavy crop, as a good quantity of seed is in the ground. The new Town Council met and or ganized Monday night by electing Mark Moore. Chairman; P. A. Summey, Chairman pi o tern. ; Dr. R W. Thorn ton, Secretary; C. 0. Harlan, Treas.. urer;Jas. W. Jackson, Chairman Street Committee; P. A Summey, Chairman Finance Committee; Dr. R. W Thorn ton, Chairman Committee on Ordi* nances, &c. The following gentlemen were elect ed County Commissioners on the first Wednesday in this month, and we feel ootifident will make a first rate board, End will look i.fter the county’s inter ests as vigilantly as any whom the vo ters of the county could have chosen : N. J. Boaz, C. H. Barrett, I. M. Fite, J. B. Gordon and M. V. Watts. Only two of these— Messrs. Watts and Goi> don—are members of the retiiing board. The election for Magistrate and Coustables for the 849th district last Saturday was a rather lively contest. — The candidates for Magistrate were Samuel Pu'liaui, N. H. McGinnis, G. W. Ransone and Aaron Roff. There were about as many candidates for Con stables. The following was the result: Magistrate—Aaron Roff; Constables— L. A. L. Boisclair and John Ilndgins. The election for T>-wn Council oc curred the same day, and the following was successful out of several tickets in the field: R. W. Thornton, M. A Moore, J. W. Jackson, P. A. Snmmey and C. 0. Harlan. Our new county officers will soon re ceive their commissions trom the Govo ernor and enter upon their duties. Col. E J. Kiker, the Ordinary elect, has won quite a yietory, having in opposi tioo some of the very best men of the county, the old Ordinary, Mr. Neel, who proved his most formidable oppo nent, included. Mr. Kiker enters the office fully prepared to execute his du ties. with which he is by careful study thoroughly familiar. The voters of the county have placed their confidence in him, and we feel sure the same will not be betrayed. Our new Clerk proves to bo the old one. Mr. Reeves’ official record was such as to defeat by a large majority two worthy opponents. Mr. laylor, as Sheriff will, we believe make a vigilant and capable officer R. C. Mizell was elected Tax Collector over several competitors, Mr. Norton, who was again a candidate, held the office for several terms. v. E. Jones was elected Tax Receiver by a *inall ma joiity, which is likely to prove a wise choice. J. W. Marshall is the new Treasurer A joung men possessing every capacity for so responsible a po sition, he is likely to prove a faithful guardian of our finances. His oppo nents were excellent men. If tin s ■ gentlemen will combine their efforts they can soon develops systematic or der of things iu our county ur-tiers, and we trust they will so discharge their dut.es as to furnish good exam ples for those who may hereafter fol low them in office.

A chroino frontispiece ‘‘A Summer Bouquet,” adds to the other attractions, and the infor mation it contains in regard to the care and culture of flowers is worth much to those whose ideas have a floral ten dency. The Guide is issued quarterly at 25 cents a year. Write for it to James Vick, Rochester, N. Y. The Calhoun Hotel is now under the proprietorship of Mr. S. Atkin, late of Newton county, Ga., he having taken charge for 1877. Mr. Ais a man of affable mauner,neither does he lack that spirit of enterprise which is sure to win for his house a standard rep"tation. As Mr. Atkin designs making this his home for the future, we trust he may receive the good will of our community, and that our citizens will extend to him and his family the cordial welcome they de serve. Having recently stopped at that ex cellent hotel, the Duff Green House, at Dalton, we feel no hesitancy in recom mending it *o any of our friend? who may at any time chance to travel that way. Travelers can rely upon being furnished with good meals aud all the comforts ot a well kept house. Mrs. J. C. Ackerman is the proprietress and Mr. W. A. Marschalk, business manager. Advertisement of this house will be found in the T.MES. We call attention to the card of W. W. Richards elsewhere. Having cho sen the law as his profession, passing a creditable examination on being ad mitted at the last regular term of our Superior Court, he is likely to become at perhaps do distant day a successful attorney. Yet young in years, and in his calling we trust he may receive the encouragement that will enable him to reach the goal of his aspirations.

Editor Calhoun limes : Below I give you the weights of five Berkshire pigs, nine months and four days old, killed by me on the 19th of December last, having been pigged on the 15th of March. These pigs have Qot eaten exceeding four pounds of corn or meal each per day, and I doubt if they have three, but I know not more than four, including the feed of the sour, while the nigs were sucking, until they were six weeks old, from the time they were pigged to the day they were killed. Their gross weights were as follows : 235,270, 275, 290 and 311, Total gross weight, 1,381 pounds. Nett weight: 200, 230, 240, 245 and 253 Total nett weight, 1,168 pounds. Their average gross weight was 276 1-5 lbs Their average nett weight was 233 3-5 lbs., being one pound of gross weight for each day they were old. Below I give you the account: DR. 274 days feeding, 20 lbs. corn per day,equal to 98 bushels, at 40 cts. per bushel, $39.20. CR. 1,168 lbs. of pork, at 7 cents per lb., $81.76. A balance of $42.56 The cost of raising and fattening the above pork was a very small fraction over 3+ cts. per lb. nett, and the pork was of superior quality. You will per ceive that they lost from gross to nett weight scarcely one sixth of a pound,and one fifth is a remarkably small loss for really well fattened pork.' Very respectfully, Wm. 11.
