Hicks & Cos., } Agents, Calhoun. Ga., V October 22, 1870. ) Owing to a large number of our agents failing to make returns in time, arid to the tickets not being all sold, the Grand baffle and Sale is postponed to the 26th of DECEMBER, 1870, or sooner, if the tickets are all sold — due notice of which will be given. The Managing Agents return their thanks for the liberal patronage bestowed upon the enterprise, and respectfully so licit a continuanco of the same for a short time, to complete the sale of all the tickets. Let none hesitate to buy tickets, for this is no New York hum but only gotten up to dispose of property, and that by good citizens of the county. On the day of the raffle, the whole matter goes into the hands of the six commissioners selected by ticket holders, and not interested in the raffle or in tickets, giving all an equal chance, though absent, of drawing a prize. Agents must make returns by the 20th of December, or four days previous to the raffle. Respectfully, 11. K. HICKS & CO., nov3td Agents.

Mr. Stephen Jones, is rapidly pushing this important county project to comple tion. The ponderous frame already spans the river, and is apparently firm and strong enough to stand the storms and floods of many a year. The bridge will be completed and ready for use in a week or ten days. When completed, it must add much to the wagon trade of our town, and will be a source of great convenience to our citizens and the traveling public gener ally. Turmph. —Maj. Ross. the indefatiga ble chief engineer of Col. R. Peters’ brag stock farm of this county —not content with taking off various rich premiums at the State Fair, has sent to this office a lot of premium turnips. The two largest weigh nine pounds. The varie ties are “Cowhorn,” “Red Top” and , “Rutabaga.” The Major is hard to beat in anything he undertakes; but if any of our readers can beat these turnips, we’d like to see them do it. . ♦ »- The Agricultural Meeting on Tuesday, though not as large in num bers as it should have been, was very interesting to all present, and we were glad to see the deep interest manifested by the solid, substantial citizens of the county who w r ere present. The subject for discussion—best mode of cultivating wheat —elicited many in teresting reports from some of our best farmers, and those who were absent from the meeting are losers of valuable information. From the reports of this year’s yield of wheat, w T e think-the average yield of Gordon county will reach about sixteen bushels per acre. The yield of corn is thought to be greater than has been known in the county in ten years. Singular Tableau of Death in a Tent. About three wrecks ago there passed over Fort Sully a terrible thunderstorm, and in it old Yellow Hawk, an Indian Peddler, gave up the ghost. On the day following the storm a party of men happened to run upon a little canvas tent pitched upon the river bank.— There was no sign of life about it, and one of the men. out of curiosity, went to it. aud lifted the canvas door and step ped in. There, in one end of the tent, sat Yellow Hawk, erect and rigid as a statue, with his eyes wide open, undone hand firmly grasped on a dog’s neck, and the dog standing on his fore legs, and partly sitting on his haunches, star ing wildly in the same direction as his master; while on the other side of the dog was the wife of Yellow Hawk, rest ing upon her elbow on the ground, and staring in the same direction that the other occupants of the tent were gazing. The man was inexpressibly terrified by the spectacle, and his firsi impulse was to run ; but there was something so wild ly strange in their eyes and in the gen eral expression of their features, that he was bound to the spot. Not a muscle of their faces moved, and they held their positions like statues —thej r were dead ! It is presumed they were killed by lightning during the storm of the previ ous night; still there was no evidence that their death was caused in this man ner. Their feat ures bore an expression of intense fear, but there were no signs of the lightning’s work about them, or about the tent. They were buried on the spot where they were found by the Indians.— iSioiu: City [7o?ro] Times. Great stir in town about E F. B. ► Rag Carpets. We have occasionally noticed express ions of contempt for rag carpets in ag ricultural journals. Some ladies have expressed their scorn of the labor of making a rag carpet when a good car pet can be bought for $1.50 per yard; and even a man has given expression to the same sentiment. Not long since we saw a calculation by a man that a rag carpet made by his wife cost $1.50 per yard. We know a woman—not the wife of one dependent upon hard toil for a living, but one who would be pre sumed a little “too proud” to make rag carpets. This woman has just comple ted one that has cost as follows : Cutting rags $ G 00 Coloring stuff 1 00 Warp 5 00 Weaving 2 25 Total sl7 25 Yards of carpet 35 Cost per yard 49 Carpet worth $1.50 $52 50 Clear profit 35 25 We put the value of the earpet at $1.50 because it is worth more than any that could be bought at that price. Now suppose the good woman had taken the advice of those writers who are so disgusted with rag carpets, and purchased one at $1.40. She would have been out of pocket $52.50 instead of $10.25, and befose her rag carpet will be worn out two store carpets will be entirely gone, and with them $.05 of money instead of $10.25. There are not many women who get money more largely than by making rag carpets. Thep are better than any other for kitchen and dining room.— [ Cincinnati Times. What means E. F. B ?

Terrifying the Turcos. —The fol lowing story is from a forwarded letter of a German soldier to his parents at Stuttgard : “ I must tell you a nice joke we had. We had been patrolling, four of us, the whole day in the neighbor hood of Bar-ie-Duc, and were wet to the skin. The rain was just commencing with new vigor when we saw a farm house in the distance, where we resolv ed to stand up. The house was desert ed by the inhabitants, who had carried away with them all eatables. We, therefore, took some bread out of our knapsacks, which, with a jug of fresh water, we considered a splendid meal. All at once we heard great noise and clashing of arms, and about one hun dred yards from the house we saw some twelve Turcos approaching. What was to be done ? Surrender —No ! Run away? Neither. We were resolved to defend ourselves to the last. Suddenly I caught sight of a double bass which was standing in a corner. I called to my comrades to fire at the Turcos and then to attack them with the bayonet. I myself took hold of the big fiddle and began to play with might and main, making the most fearful noise. The moment the Turcos heard it, they turn ed, threw away their rifles, and began to run, my comrades after them, and took the whole lot of them prisoners.— The black devils went down on their knees, pointing, with all signs of horror, to the house in which the big fiddle was still being played. I only understood, from their talking, the word “ lion,” which showed that the fellows had taken the noise of the fiddle for the roar of a lion. We bound them together, and brought them to Bar-le-Due, and often afterwards we laughed at this capital joke.” Try English Female Bitters. The Columbus Enquirer , of yester day, gives the following account of a recent shooting scrape in Quitman county: The difficulty occurred about three miles from Georgetown. Mr. Moses had gone out with the Sheriff to have a levy made on Mr. James T. Flewellen’s personal property, under the execution of Mr. 1). II Boedwin against Mr. Flewellen. A wagon load of cotton was levied on, and on the return Mr. Flew ellen met Mr. Moses and the Sheriff, and required Mr. Moses to direct tbe cotton returned. This he refused to do. Mr. Flewellen then fired one shot at Mr. Moses while he was in the buggy. Mr. Moses in attempting to get out of the buggy fell down, and while down Mr. Flewellen shot him in the left shoulder, and fired another shot at him when about five steps distant, but mis sed. By the time Mr. Moses had got twenty steps he succeeded in getting his pistol and cocking it After waiting a moment he returned to Mr. Flewellen, but when about ten steps distant, Mr. Flewellen stated he had no more ammu nition, and Mr. Moses refrained from firing. We learn the Doctor was unable to extract the ball, and that on the next day Mr. Flewellen was arrested on a charge by Mr. Moses, of an assault with intent to murder, and that he waived a hearing and gave bond in the sum of £I,OOO to appear at the Supreme Court, in November, of Quitman county. E. F.8., Great Female Regulator, j — [communicated.] Fox Chase in Springtown. Mr. Editor: —I am now thirty-one years old, and 1 have been there and back many times; 1 have been clean to the wars and fit and bled and died, but not until the 22d day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and seventy, was 1 permitted to participate in what might be called a No. 1 fox chase. Now i will tell you all about it: Somebody bought a tame fox, and brother Jack told me that he was going to turn it loose that night, on the hill the other side of cousin Bob's, 1 mean the man what kills Jackey, and brother Jack told me that 1 might see the race for nothing, so I put out at full speed for cousin Bob s, where 1 was met kindly—my horse put up and me con ducted to the dining room. Cousin Bob w'as on tiptoe, waiting for brother Jack, and before 1 was fully satisfied, I heard brother Jack hollow, saying, speak to him boys, and at the same time, old Brute opened. I sprang to my feet and cousin Bob and me was soon in our sad dles. By this time the road was full of horsemen at full speed. Cousin Bob and me joined the party; and Mr. Edi tor, we went at full speed for at least fifty yards, and you know that such as that don't do horses no good, but by this time the dogs had lost it, and to all hu man appearauces, seemed to care but lit tle about it any way, but brother Jack cried at the top of his voice and said speah to him Cash, and Cash opened. We then turned and went at full speed for at least one hundred and fifty yards, when we was halted by uncle Billy, who inquired for old King—no one could tell. There was then a move made to call the roll, and to our astonishment, they were all absent without leave but Cash and Brute- Feet, however, was close by, interesting himself after a rab bit. 1 will say that we found cut some of there whereabouts before I left. King was in the shuck pen. Fannie was under the house. By this time I was power fully excited, but uncle Billy says its all in getting use to it, and you know he generally knocks the black out when he speaks. Now Mr. Editor I will give you my opinion: I believe we would have caught the fox. but it hid, for aunt Nan cy found it under her house that night killing chickens, three hundred yards from where it was turned loose.
