CALHOUN TIMES LOCAL AKWS. The nimble flea now maketh one swear. The present session of Calhoun Academy closes it. about two weeks. The lumber business seems lively.— Improvements are still looking up. The candidate is now looking around for those friends who are to bring him out. Mu. W. 11. Bonner has left in our sanctum a specimen of yellow clover measuring three feet or over in height. There is a prospect that the fruit crop this year will be entirely destroyed. It generally is—by those who like it. A VELtY neat little business house has been erected en the John P. King lot on Court House street, in the j lace (J the ungainly looking structure that re cently stood there. The anticipations of the übiquitous candidate appear in indistinct outlines on the local political sky. The ‘‘long est pole,” you know. Mr. Tom Foster anticipates erect' ing a large, handsome and durable brick structure this season on the site where Foster k Harlan are now doing busi ness. The Mary Carter bad a little trou ble up the river last week, but was only delayed a short while. rihe has been shipping corn to this point, from whence some of it goes to Atlanta. Picnic at Craneater Springs next Saturday. A big crowd and a good time expected. Gen. Colquitt and per haps other distinguished gentlemen will be there. M e have made arrangements to sup- Ily ( nr readers with a letter from the t enter nial every week. The second letter will be found in this issue. They vill be interesting to all. Upon inquiry we learn that there is at prerent less fear among farmers of injury to wheat from the rust than when it first made its appearance It seems to be 1 confined to the blade and in most places the holds seem in good condition. A fair cn p is even now Poked for. As the season for leui nudes and iced drinks approaches, a young man of our sflculintance insists that it is her pla; i t> tre it, to such delic t cses this year. Bit tv >uld he be willing to re ceive such cnl treatment from ‘he fair sex ? tii it is the question. Two small cani rs got up a sensation in the posioffict Monday morning while an eager crowd were waiting fur the mail. They tried the flavor of each other’s hides, and tucked their tails and vamoosed after being coaxed by a little sole leather. The members of ihe Baptist Church are making preparation to seal their building, having already purchased the material. Mr. Mark Moore is to do the work, an 1 if the design, which includes some elegant arch-work is carried out it will greatly add to the looks of the ed ifice.

When you see a man that shuffles loosely along, with his knees knocking together and his toes pointing in— whose eyes roll furtively and whose hand is ever suddenly jerking itself above his as it warding off a blow you can rely up on it that that man is haunted by a mother-in law—but when you see a par ty who lifts his feet bign, and holds his nose in the air, and has one eye shut in a knowing manner and whose mouth is distended with a self complacent grin and who seems to feel good all Otar ; you can bet your last cent he has just bougth anew “Domestic” sewing ma chine for his wife. An Historical Fact. Every agent who has been steadily selling the improved S2O Homestead Sewing Machine for three yearsowns his dwelling house has a good account in bank, is clear of debt, and has money at interest.—the national consequence of securing a good agency for superior goods at the lowest prices. A good first-class Sewing Machine, most useful —reliable at all times, easy to understand and control, the same size and does the same work as any Machines that se’l at Four Times the price. There is no Machine at any price better or will do finer work, and certainly none so low in price by many dollars. The Home stead is widely known and used in thousands of families in the Eastern and Middle States, and d°ily becoming pop ular in the West. It will save its cost several times over in one season doing the work of the family, or will earn four or five dollais a day for any man or wo mau who sew for a living. It is the stong est Machine made, is ready at all times to do its work, makes the strongest arid finest stitch yet invented, and is fully acknowledged as the Standard family Sewing Machine.

The Century of Independence em braces a collection from official sources of the most important documents and staticties connected with the political history of America: also a chronogical record of the principal events from its discovery to the present time with bio graphical and historical skeches, ete. Printed in German and Englished. Nearly GOO pages. Price $2.0 >. Never before has s> n.uch practical information of this nature been pubUsh ed iu any one volume. While there are many treatise pur porting to give valuable statistics of America in convenient foim, it will he found upon examination that they contain a voluminous amount of mat* ter which is of no utility to any citi zen. A comparison of the various produc tions wdi convince anv intelligent per son that the “Century of Independence” embraces the important documents to he ound in them all while it omits that which is superfluous and adds instead a vast collectijn of invaluable facts. No other arrangement gives oneTuurth the information in the same space and the arrangement is what makes it inval uahle as a reference book, it having been complied under the immediate supervision of officials at Washing ton 'I he lawyer, hanker, merchant and farmer will each conclude that it must have befen prepared especially wi'h ref ference to his convenience. It is designated for this work to take the place in politics that Webster’s Dic tionary does in language, and Appleton’s Gazetteer in general literature. The binding, paper and illustrations have been made to compare with the general iharacter of the work. Though a person can be a good citi zen without a thorough education, no good citizen can enjoy the right of fran chise intelligently without possessing the information contained in this book. \\ bile persons refuse to purchase or o dinary or expensive works, all classes will gladly avail themselves of the op portunity for obtaining a work so indis pensable at so low a price.
