LOCAL NEWS.
Apology —The editor of the Times
is absent this week, in Middle Georgia,
arid we have consented to assume the
responsibility of getting np the local
news of the week. If any shorlconm
ings are apparent in the quantity or
quality of the same, it will be attribu°
table to the fact of his absence,together
with the incapacity of his “sub”—
However, as Jefferson once said, “Error
ceases to be dangerous, when reason is
left free to combat it.” We make this an*
nouncement for the reason that, if any
thing objectionable appears in the tenor
of our scribbling, we don’t want to shift
the burden of public sen iment from
our shoulders to those of the editor;

What’s the news?
Lost the dog law.
Read notice of A. S. Liles.
N* XT week is court week. Time for
I'M. Kikcr to don his “ plug,” and Dick
Tarver his standing collar.
—
Rev. A. 0. Thom/s, pastor of the
Calhoun M. E. Church, pays a visit to
his home in Lower Georgia, t! i week.
We are cheated out of one 1< cal item

That honorable and august assembly,
known as the Georgia Legislature, has
adjourned, and now when we venture
on (lie streets, we vie not continually
b log harassed by the inquiry, “ what’s
the Legislature done with the dog
law .'
We learn that our young friend Thos.
Vv’. hktlly lias commenced the study .f
law with Col. McOonncl. With a dose
application to his studies, and a judicial
use of the natural abilities he possesses,
r J’om can become an able and eminent
attorney ; and we sincerely hpe he
may.
Retuuned. W J lleevs, Jr., uid
Mr. C. E Griffin, two of our young
in n, returned last week from Nashville.
Tenn.. where they have been attending
medical lectures, with “sheep-skins }
in their overcoat pockets, and an addi
tion of M. D. to their names. Success
to them.
Fire Alarm.—On last Friday
morning, the alarm of fire was sounded
at the Academy, caused by the roof of
the building catching from sparks from
the stove By prompt and speedy ac .
tion on the part of those present, the
fire was extinguished befoie any consid
erable damage was done.
Religious.— On last Sabbath we
Lad services by three different deoontu
nations. At the Methodist Church,
morning and evening service by Rev.
A. C. Thomas, pastor. At the Baptist
Church, morning service, by Rev. .Mr.
Moore, Baptist, and evening services by
Rev. Mr. Este’l, of the Episcopal
Church.
Matrimonial. —Mr. S. W. Murray,
a young attorney of Grifin. was marri
ed in Texas last week to Miss Zebuline
Herndon, of that State On his retain
home, he stopped a few days in Cal
houn with his lovely bride, and was the
guest of the Editor pf the Times. We
extend to the happy couple our sincere
congratulations, and hope that they may
ever be as happy as they both look.
Wf. nre gratified to know that the
Good Templets of this place nre contin-’
ualiy making accessions to their ranks,
and that the Lodge now bids fair to
accomplish much good in subjugating
the giant-evil, intemperarce. Long
unj they prosper, and may their labors
•"ever cease until victory shall have
crowned the’r efforts, and tiie clouds
that have go long darkened our skies be
scattered by the golden beams of truth
and temper inec ! Edo perpetna !

Switzerland, Syria, and umerous other
places of note, both foreign and Ameri

This a great year for old men. —
Grandfathers who have been Ion" neg
lected and made to feel that they were
in the way. and wished that they were
dead ; who have been th"ust away in
the kitchen and left U> mumble to them
selves in the chimney Corner, are aston
ished by bei >g brushed up of an even
ing and brought into the parlor, where
they are shown to the company as Cen
tennial relics. “Grandfather, you
know Washington,didn’t you ?’’ screams
a granddaughter in his ear, (for he is
very deaf.) “ Yes, yes,” says grandfa
ther, “I knowed him like a book. Law,
yes, the Gin’rel bore’d a chaw terhac
cer of me many and many a time !”
He’s going to the Centennial, sure.
Mr. L. 11. Lane, who has been for
a number of years in the carriage and
wagon business with Mr. Z. T. Gray,
and later with Mr. A. W. Reeve, of this
place, informs us that he will move to
Resaoa in a few days, and establish a
factory for manufacturing carriages, bugs
gies, and wagons Mr. Lane lias a mer'-
iced and well-earned reputation of bc
iag a first-class workman, and those
citizens of Resaoa and vicinity who de
sire work in his line cannot do better
than to give it to him.

How oft the cherished hopes of years,
when realized, turn to ashes in the grasp.
Take for instance the case of the man
who, after years of haid labor, was ele
vated to the office of a country post in as*
!or, and on the fi r st day he labored in
his official capacity, was confronted by
i Granger, with the perplexing inquiry
as to h ivv much postage it would lake to
stud a live calf through the post office.
We have been handed f r publication
l!iis week an original essay read before
the Good Templars’ Lodge on last Sut
urday night, by a young lady of Cal/
houn, but owing to our limited amount
of space, we cannot give it publicity hi
this iss e. The article is meritorious
and -*ve wi 1 perhaps publish it £next

A cow belonging to Mr Jacob Rus
sell, gave birh to twin calves a few
days ago. 'That is (lie second pa r of
twin calves that Macon has produced
within a fortnight —Macon Teleyhaph.
Four calves in two weeks ! Humph !
That’s nothing! There is an old female
cat in Calhoun that has from three to
four kittens every three months.
The time for a man to stand firmly
by Job’s experience is when he washes
his face with home-made soap and be
gins to.p>aw around over the chairs with
his eyes shut enquiring for a towei,
quick, and is told that the towel is in
the drawer end the keys lost.
On Monday morning, the best way to
make a man forget that he went to
preaching the day before is for him to
spring out of bed early and light on the
business end of a tacit.

Experience of a Young Woman.
A country girl, young, pretty, and
hup-y. her step was elastic and the
roses of health bloomed upon her check
One spring morning she was overtaken
by a “spring shower,” and caught a
cold.
It was her “ particular time,” and
suppression was the result. At the
next “period” nature refused to act. —
She became sallow, swollen, and suffer
ed intensely with pain in the back and
“lower stomach,” palpitations, diffi
i culty of breathing, indigestion and
| headache. Doctors failed to palliate
1 her distressed condition, and she longed
f..r death as the only hope of relief. —
At the instance of a friend, who her
self experienced its benefits, she was
induced to try Dr Brudfield’s Female
Regulator. One bottle cured her. She
was ftgtiin the hap n y girl she was that
April morning before ihe shower. The
Female Regulator is prepared by L 11.
i Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta Ga., at
$1.50 per bottle, and kept by all re
spectable drug men throughout the
land.
A Most Excellent Itemed i/.
