(falfponm TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS. It is now Gov. Colquitt. ! We hAVe been having all sorts of i weather. ■* i Eggs have taken a downward shoot Binco Christmas. Mr. Henry Harlan is clerking at /oster & Harlan’s. The cold weather just passed has been unusually severe on stook. Mr. Dudley has been appointed on the Committee on Geological Bureau. Miss Mattie Freeman was re-elected Oreranist of the Methodist church, last Sunday Fall oats have been killed in many portions of Middle Georgia by the Se vere cold weather. I’rof. J. D. Scott’s school opened this week with fine prospects for a good school. The Professor deserves success. The musical entertainment at the residence of Mr. J. E. Parrott, last Monday night, was quite a pleasant and enjoyable affair. The Methodist Sunday school elected Prof. J. D. Scott, Superintendent, and Mr. J. C. Harkins, Secretary, last Sunday. Leap year has gone, yet it is ala. mentable fact that some of the old bachelors are still left to enjoy “single blessedness.” Messrs. Marshall & Lee have moved their stock of goods from their old stand and opened out in the western store room the Young building. We call attention to the card of Mr. Arthur in our advertising columns.— Mr. Arthur enjoys a worthy support on account of fairness in business and low prices. Fanners are getting ready* to make their annual guano purchases. They swear against it every year, and then purchase just as much as if they hadn’t Sttorn. The Methodists held their first quar terly meeting Saturday and Sunday.— dlev. A. M. Thigpen, the elder, preach ed several able sermons, and the meet ing was one of general interest among the member^. We are pleased to learn that Mr. S. Atkin, pteprietor of the Calhouu 110. tel, who has been very ill for the past few days, is now convalescing very rap idly. The Love Feast service held at the Methodist church last Sabbath, was very touching and impressive. It was largely attended, and a number of the tnembers of the church related some of their Christain experience. it is rumored that Rev. Mr. Thig pen. the Presiding Elder of this dis trict, will probably make Calhoun his home. We feel confident that our cit izens would extend him a cordial wel come into our community. The snow has mehcd away, the warm j sunshine has followed and intercourse ! between town and country is undis turbed. Wood is plentiful again, and with a few greenbacks floating around our people would be immensely happy. Oothcaloga Lodge No. 154. P. A. M., on December 19th, elected officers for the ensuing year, as follows : W. R, Rankin W. M.; C. A. Harris, S. W.; J. R. Thornbrough, J. W.; R. M. Har lan, S.; T. M. El>is, Tr.; &. 0. Mi. zcll, Ty. The students of the academy again Challenge the public for a spelling match on next Monday night. W hope enough fcill be on hand to make the occasion in* interesting. These marches are in j tended to benefit the school, and ought to be encouraged. Some of our merchants have got the blues. We advise such to dust up their shelves, put in anew stock of goods, a good advertisement in their home paper, and exlrbit more healthy signs of enßrterprise. If this don’t brighten things up we shall thiuk the country is paralyzed. We feel constrained to drop a word this week in behalf of our worthy con temporary, the Dalton Enterprise. It seems to be picking up wonderfully s nee the first of the year in news and interest. But this, from the pen of the editor perhaps explains it all: “In con sequence of our prolonged absence at the State Capital, this paper owes what ever merit it may possess to ‘our better half.'" Council Proceediu^. Council Room, j Calhoun, Ga , Jan. 15,1877. ) Council met with a full board, and went into secret session, and discussed some general and special .questions.— Feeling the importance of general re u trenchmcnt to meet the exigencies of the times, determined to reduce the salaries of the officers, which resulted as follows: That of Marshal from $450 to S3OO ) of Chairman from $75 to $65; of Secretary from SSO to S4O J of Treasurer from S4O to S3O. The election for Marshal was then taken up, and on the fourth ballot A. R. T. Black was unanimously elected. On motion, council adjourned. M. A. Moor, Chalfman. R. W. Thornton, Secretary. The members of the Gordon County Agricultural Society are respectfully requested to meet at the Court House, on the first Tuesday in February next, to elect officers for the ensuing year, and also to elect delegates to attend the Convention to be held in M illedgeville the first Tuesday, 16th day of March, 1877. Delegates elected for the spring meeting of the Convention will also be allowed to attend the fall meeting of the Convention. We hope that our ag ricultural friends will turn out en masse. These conventions have been produc tive of much good, giving an opportu nity for tlie interchange of opinion of the planting community of the various sections of the State. The transactions of the society are printed and sent to tho members of the various agricultu ral societies of the State, thus affording those who do not attend an opportuni ty of knowing what has been done. The February number of Ballou’s Ma gazine is a capital one, full of sto- j ries of rare interest, and illustrations that would be creditable to any publi cation in this country. There is such a variety in Ballou’s that the people 1 ikc it, and will buy it no matter bow bard the times are or the attractions which other serials present. One of the stories in Ballou’s is alone worth the prico of the magazine, and then in every issue can be found a dozen or twenty tales which can always be read wiih pleasure, not to mention the poe try, and household articles, and humor ous cuts, which will tell their own sto ry. Ballou’s very soon becomes a fa vorite with any one who procures a few numbers. Published by Thornes & Talbot, 23 llawley Street, Boston, at only $1.50 per year, postpaid. Wo call attention to the advertise ment of C. W. Langworthy, agent for Alabama,Georgia and Tennessee for the Shouinger piano. Besides the low prices and excellent quality of the instru ments he sells, there are other advanta* ges in buying from him. Being a skill* ful tuner, and acquainted with the most intricate parts, he always guarantees to his purchaser the instrument he sells, and that from a personal kn jwledge of its merits, and there is no danger of being swindled. He has supplied many fam ilies with instruments in this immediate section,a'l of whom are are ready to tes* tify in bis favor. We don’t say it boastingly, but we do believe that for church-going peo- j pie Calhoun cannot be excelled. This I -was fairly tested last Sunday. The 1 mud aud slush was shoe-mouth deep, j and the weather was very inclement, I but notwithstanding this, there were ! preaching at the Biptist and Metho- j Gist churches, and large and attentive j congregations were to be seen at both churches. This speaks well for the peo ple, and reflects credit on the towrn. Rev. Mr. Dictcey, the new pastor of the Methodist church, is at his post, and preached to our people last Sun day night, making a favorable impres sion. The parsonage being in a la mentably bad condition, Mr. D. will move bis family into the house owned by Mr. Oglesby, hear the church, the church having secured it to his use fot the year. Mr. L. L. McArthur has taken charge j of the shops lately conducted by Mr. | A. W. Reeve, and will give his atten tion to all kinds of wood and black smith’s work. Mr. McArthur will ex ecute work in his liue at hard time fig ures, and will eudeavor to merit a lib eral share of patronage. Horse-shoe ino, at one dollar and other work at : O prices correspondingly low. Frank Wyatt will soon leave town and move out to his father s place in the country, where he and his excellent wife will assist in looking after the in terests of the parental home, which has been sorrowfully deprived recently of its maternal bead. Ilis younger broth er, Reuben Wyatt, will take bis place as operator. — — Our Sunday schools seem to have taken new life at the opening of the new year, and are moving forward un der favorable prospects for a flourishiug year of good work. Mr. W. L. Lampkin, of the firm of Pendletons & Lampkin, Atlanta, was in town yesterday. This firm is anew one and we hope he succeeded in intro*, ducing his house in our place, and that his visit may lead to many future orders. They deal in tobacco,produce and ferti lizers. Remember the meeting of the Gor don County Agricultural Society, which takes place on the first Tuesday in Feb ruary. Oar subscription list is constantly increasing.

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where thtf follicles ate destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of foul ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous, and injurious to the hair, tho Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
