The lucky man, woman or child, hold ing the ticket in the Great Real Estate Raffle, which is to draw the $6,000 prize, will have to wait until Christmas before taking possession of the planta tion. Owing to the short notice given, a number of tickets remain unsold, and the managers have concluded to post pone the Raffle until the 26th day of December. Somebody will get valuable Christmas presents then, ymfwuu pgjf We have had a week of most de lightful weather. Look out for the Balloon! It will be “sailing round” on Saturday, just before the big show begins. Jack frost has visited us several times within the past week, and left his signs upon all tender vegetation. - _ k When men advertise their goods liberally in the newspapers, you may be sure they are anxious to sell.

Fine Stock. —The finest display of stock likely to made by any one man at the State Fair, left our depot for Atlan ta on Tuesday morning last. This “del egation” was from the stock farm of Mr. Richard Peters, in Gordon county. — There were forty head each of lings and sheep, and twenty-five head of cattle, besides fowls of various kinds, and many other things, produced on this place, which will create wonder at the State Fair. The Circus is Coming! —This is the cry among the little folks, all over this part of the country, just at this time. And although there is not so much fuss among the “boys of larger growth about it. many of them are just as anxious about “the show.” Mr. De- Haven is kuown to many of our people as a "showman,’ and his performances are said to be excellent. Cur people will have an opportunity to see a balloon ascension, outside, which vill repay a visit to town on Saturday. Head the advertisement in another column.

Euipß Times Calhoun, Ga : D* r Sir: Will you be kind enough to ex tod an invitation for me, through your vaiable paper, to the merchants generally >f your section, who anticipate visiting Avgusta during our Fair which commences m the 25th. of this month, to use my oflLe freely, where they will find all of the papers, andfiud me ready to do everything in my power to make their visit pleasant. Very truly yours J. 0, Matiif.wsox. Newspaper Patronage. There seems, says a contemporary, to be a great many different ways of defin ing and understanding the phrase “ newspaper patronage,” and, as a party interested in the correct definition of the same, we give the following dis quisition dn the subject by one who knows whereof he speaks. It may serve, perhaps as a mirror, in which certain parties may be able to “ see themselves “ Many long and dreary ycaia publishing business (says the writer) has forced the conviction upon us that newspaper patronage is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind are either ignorant of the cor rect definition, or are dishonest, in a strict biblical sense of the word. News paper patronage is as changeable as a chameleon. “ One man comes in, subscribes for a paper, pays for it in advance, and goes home and reads it w ith proud satisfaction that it is his. “ Another man asks you to send him the paper, and goes oft without saying a word about the pay. Time passes on, you are in need of money, and ask lorn to pay the sum he owes you. He flies into a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not, and orders his paper stopped. This is called patronage. “ One man likes your paper; he takes a copy, pays for it, and gets his friend to do the same; but he is not always grumbling to you and others, but has a friendly word. If any accident occurs in his section he informs the editor.— This, too, is newspaper patronage. “ One (it is good to see such) comes in and says, ‘The paper for which 1 paid is .bout to expire; i want to pay for another.’ He does so and retires. This is, also, newsp aper patronage.” Hampton’s Steam Plows. The Vicksburg Herald gives the fol lowing description of a steam plow at work on the plantation of General Wade Hampton, near Skipwith’s Landing, Mississippi: It consists of two portable engines, which are so made that they run them selves without the aid of horse power over any road or field. The engines are placed at opposite sides to the field, and by mere means of wire ropes, 403 yards long, draw T a gang of plow's from one side to the other. The plows cut the soil to any depth required and at a rapid rate, faster than a man can walk. There are different sets of plows, for deep and shallow plowing, for subsoiling, for extracting roots, and for making cotton beds. The latter is the most in teresting, and makes a complete cotton bed, of over five feet wide at one opera tion They plow on an average of twenty-five to thirty-five acres daily, and can do even more on loose soil. The engines are also useful for much other work. The General has a large saw-mill which these machines take with them to the woods to cut lumber and make fenc ing. The heavy and broad iron wheels of the engines help to make good roads, and there is no better road in the coun try than the one through Hampton’s Walnut Ridge plantation, five miles long. A few days ago, one of these engines came down to the wharf-boat at Skipwith with six large wagons in tow. These were placed on the boat, heavily laden with lumber, and the “train” then started for home at a lively rate, crossing one of the levees. It would have taken twenty-four good mules to have pulled those loads. Another time the engine was “hitched” to a good sized house and moved it back from the river bank several hundred yards in about twenty minutes, as fast as the men could keep the rollers under it.— It is the intention of General Hampton to make these engines haul all his cot ton to the river this season, when the weather is favorable. Uncertain Subscribers.—The Glasgow (Ky.) Times must have some “hard cases” on its subscription book. Hear what the editor says : One day last week a man stepped up to us said he would -pay us every cent he owed us, if he lived till Saturday night. We presume that man died. Another s:id that he would pay us in a day or two as sure as we were born. Query —Did the man lie, or were we ever born? Another said he would settle his bill as sure as shooting. We are led to the belief that shooting is de cidedly uncertain. Another said he hoped io go to h—ll if he didn t pay us in three days. Haven t seen him since, but trust that be has hoped in vain.— A number said that they would see us to-m rrow. These men have been ever since, or else to-morrow has never come. One man told us six months ago that he would pay us as soon as he got some money. That man would not lie; and, of course, he has not had a cent since. Accident. —A brakeman was killed on last Saturday evening, on the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, while pass ing over Cedar Creek bridge, near (hive Spring. The brakeman was climbing on the top of the cars, when his head came in contact with a cross-piece on the bridge, and was knocked off and instant ly killed. The Tournament at Rome. The knights rode three rounds each aud the following ts the result, as an nounced from the Judges' stand : W. H. Stilts, 30 points; R. M. Stiles 13 points; L. T. Lyons 15 points ; Frank. Aycock 35 points; Jas. Conyers 31 points; W (J. Hobson 23 point*; Jus. McCarson 16 points; John Mill edge 23 points; H. B. Hick 2opoints; W. H. Chastain 12 points. in accordance with the above result, the Judges awarded the following prizes : To Frank. Aycock, knight of Euhar- I lec, a thorough bred gelding, valued $300; an English saddle and bridle aud silver cup, valued at SBO. Jas. B. Conyers, knight of Etowah, Texas bridle aud saudle and silver cup, valued at S7O. A vote of honor and a silk penon was unanimously awarded to Capt. W. H. Stiles, as displaying the best sabre prac tice. A vote of honor and a penon was al so awarded to W. H. Chastain for the best time.— Courier. George P. Burnett for Con gress. Mr. Editor: J understand George Burnett says a goodly number of his old Beniocratic friends in this county will vote for him in preference to General Woru oi U/T .u. XL*- conflict between the Democratic and Radical parties. There is no compro mise. If a man votes the Radical ticket he is a Radical. 1 don’t believe Burnett will get—all told—one hundred white votes in Floyd county. A few unstable-wish-a-washey men who call themselves Democrats, to be considered respectable, may vote for Burnett, but they are “ the boys ” who have been, or will be, “greased.” Every white man who votes for Bur nett will be marked and remembered for all time to come. Etowah. [ Rome Commercial. Some of the Effects. —We quote the following from the Philadelphia Age, of Friday : Some of the effects of negro voting can be seen in Chester and Delaware counties. The official majority fur J. Henry Askin, Esq., the Democratic can didate for Congress in Radnor, was 75 in a total poll of 320, including eleven negroes, who all voted the Radical tick et. Last year the Radical majority was 35. This makes a grin to the Demo cracy of 110 in one year. The Radical majority in Chester county, in 1868, was 2,045. This year, over 1,200 ne groes voted the Radical ticket, and the majority runs down to 1,750. This shows a loss of over 1,500. In Dela ware, the same average Radical loss is exhibited by the returns. This show's that the Radicals lose more than they gain by connection with the negro. A Funny Story is going the rounds in Paris. A lady in the first society was recently obliged to dismiss her nurse on account of an excess of firemen and private soldiers too often repeated.— After choosing as a successor to this criminal a very pretty girl, the lady, explaining why the first went away, eri joined it on the second not to do like wise. She admitted “ that she shouldn’t. “ I can endure a good deal,” said the lady, “but soldiers about the kitchen I won’t endure.” After a week or eight days, the lady came into the kitchen, opened the cubboard and discovered a youthful military character. “O, ma’am ?” cried the girl, frightened, “ 1 give my word I never saw r that soldier before in my life, he mus f have been one of the old one’s left over by the other girl V* General McDowell in the absence of instructi< iisfrom W ;shiugton declines to order the evacuation of Governor’s Island, and the destruction of the bar racks in consequence of yellow lever now. prevailing at th it post. Seventy one yellow fever patients have thus far been removed from the LsFnd to quaran tine hospital, and military iffiers com plain of the medical treatment and pro vision for comfort by the City Health authorities as entirely inadequate. Two fatal cases lately occurred at Bellevue Hospital, and the husband of a woman, who died of the disease on Friday, is now in irons for bringing her to the hospital after the disease had made its appearance. A fiendish negro at St. Louis, recently drove a knife through the spine of a young girl of his own color, who had re fused to marry him. It was with great difficulty that the knife could be extrac ted from the wound. The girl is not ex pected to recover. Charles Lincoln, of the firm of Lincoln, Chamberlain & Cos., IB&tun... met with a horrible death at Somerville, Monday. While superintending the j boiling of lard, his feet slipped and he fell into a large vat qf hot lard, from which he was speedily taken, to..die in a few hours. A car loaded with cotton was entirely consumed by fire at Rogers’ Station, on the State Road, on Friday night. Sherwood. Democrat, beats Arm strong. Republican, in the lstli District of Pennsylvania for Congress. It is asserted by knowing Republicans that tiie intention is to defeat the elec tion in December by adjourning the f Legislature before managers are appoin ted by Bullock.

Thu Christian population i f Turkey enjoys entire exemption from military service. The Turkish army numbers 120,000 men.
