Sir CARTERSYILLK. —Tbe Darttagton Nxws is grow- tag better. * —Mosquitoes are plentiful and so on frogs. —Dr. Palmer has been elected township Chairman, vice, R. Peel, —Tbe Sanday schools are in a flonrishing condition. —Politics are qniet, and so It ought to be, for farmers have some thing else to engage their attention at present. —This Motion of the oonnty is in favor of primary elections, so far as we can learn. —The com crops in this section are good, hot cotton is generally very small and grassy. Labor is very scarce, and unless tbe lien law is repealed by tbe next legislature not many farmers will plant cotton depending on hired hands to hoe it Farmers are using torn plows in their jot ton to cover np tbe grass as they cannot get it cat oat with the hoe. LAMAR. —Mr. J. 8. DaBoee, the Lamar tobaeooist haa about three acres of the weed set out which is looking well. —Mr. W. P. Carter, the Lamar tobaoooist, seems to be tall of oonfldenoe in bis {new enterprise. Mr. C. is a ten acre man. —Mr. Wilbur Woodham’s crop on the road leading from this place to Cartersville is among the best that we have seen. —Thew is a man in this vicinity who says he baa a son aboot 19 years old who can sop np two bar rels of molasses a year and then snffer for sweet things. —Mr. G H. Minis is enlarging bis storehonse and also building a cotton platform where we can back onr carts and tnrn out tbe bales, if tbe grass don’t eat it np. —Lamar has a man with wife and six children and who bas never had a physician in his borne on a pro fessional visit His doctor’s bills daring tbe time has amounted to 82.50. —Mr. Jacob Spears, a merchant of this place and dealer in live stock, believes in making things meet He still has some of last year’s cotton on band with which to mart tbe new crop. —And now we bear from Early’s X Roads that we mast find Skilletts- ville, a place that even tbe News’ devil can’t find, or be cat down to one reporter. An overbearing offi cial this Notary Public is. —Tbe Lisbon Democratic dub met at this place on tbe 26th nit, for tbe purpose of reorganizing and attending to other important busi ness. Mr. C A Jordan was elect ed chairman, and E L Gray sec rotary, to serve for tbe next two years. There will he a special meet ing of tbe club on Saturday, tbe 3d instant, at 4 o’clock P. M., for tbe purpose of considering and discus sing the primary plan of elections. —Miss Sallie Stuck.% of tbe Centre, is visiting relatives at thib plaoe. Also, Miss Sallie Carter, of Cartersville, bas been visiting here, bat has returned borne to tbe re gret of many friends. E. L. G. TURN PIKE. —Grass, work; rain and work. —Obicken cholera is prevailing to an alarming extent in this section. Will some of our friends suggest a remedy t —Miss A. A Muldrow, daughter of onr neighbor Mr. M. A. Muldrow, wbo baa been very ill in Sumter, is rapidly convalescing and will be borne aooo. —Next we find onrself at W. E. Dargan’s plantation, under the supervision of Mr. Morgau Lewis. We think it one of tbe best crops ever made on the place. —Mr. J. K. Large, oar model far mer, has tbe cleanest crop that we have seen, though h s cotton is not ao large, as be (ailed to get a rtand at tbe first planting. He bas pleu ty of ripe melons; sorry, however we have not helped him eat any. —Now let ns cross the creek, and we find onraelves at Mr. S. J. Borob’s, one of onr most estimable citizens. He is still quite sick, but we are glad to note something bet ter. His crop is looking well, un der the management of bis son Ned. —Tbe NBWS is getting to be very interesting, especially around tbe Centro, as 1 saw Simon Iasi Tues day, after tbe rain, quietly walking along tbe rood, with bit journal un der hia arm, hat at half-cock and pencil oyer his ear, earnestly in search of dots for the Nxws. —Is the Nbws of Jane 17, your Swift Creek reporter intimated that be was somewnat disgusted with the lovely fashion of banging tbe hair. Now BUI, ws are surprised to bear snob from yoa. This sec tian is blessed with several young ladies who sport bangs and even the young lady who so sweetly slipped that little charm on yoor watch chain wears bangs. —Next in order is onr young friend and sport, N. B. Jordan. He has a very good crop; some very fine cotton and tbe best field of corn wa have seen. Bony, oM chick, we think yon mean to bring her in some time soon, by the way yoa drive that gray Wa wish yon well, and hope that yon may make no (stake after waiting so long. Nbbo. pond Ido CENTRE. —Ob, why wont the skeeters give ns a little vacation f Bill, they are awfnl down here. —We were pleased to hear a sermon last Sanday afternoon In Mr. Hartwell Edwards, at High Hill. —Tbe health of this neighbor hood is very good, giving the Dr’s plenty of time to attend to the grass. —Ebenezer, we wish we oonld report abont a pic nic, bat alas! gross is too nnmeroas is the cry, but just wait until melons get ripe and then we will tarn oar attention to pic-utos; bat we are not going to give yon a bid. —Bill, bow is tbe crops and fish ds in your part of tbe continent t do not think Nero will do much fishing in High Hill Creek, or np and down Tnrn Pike either. 1 think all tbe pike has been caught oat. I guess if he was to try he would find himself oanght by an over dose of mosquitoes. We advise him to fish on west Tnru Pike. —We advise all the young dudes in this part of tbe country, wbo are contemplating matrimony to pay a visit to Mr. J. J. Gandy’s farm, and take notioe bow he manages, for we jnst tell you his crop is hard to beat for a young farmer Bat we have energetic farmers, all through onr neighborhood. If you want to see good farms, just oast au eye all through Smoot town. —Where in the tomwalker, chisel and gonge, did Nero come from f Gness from some cold country, as he liked to have had it zero. Un lucky for him, be don’t know any thing abont onr warm climate. Just wait a little while and we will beat him up to one hundred degrees, in the shade. Nero says we had to come back from tbe city of Lamar afoot. Sorry to say he misapprehen ded ns. We did not go, therefore did not have very far to heel it back, and as for onr taters and beaus, be just wishes he oould have some too. And again, Mr. Nero says we must have been jealous of his young friend in two respects - young lady and fast horse. We very readily admit that both were enviable with most any of the yonug dudes in this part of Europe, bat we kinder think Nero mast have been wandering in his miud a little when be applied that word to us. Well, we will excuse him for that little error as we think it was ex temporaneous, providing he will find out and mind wbo he is tam pering with in the future. Simon. Ou Saturday morning, the 12th instant, Zaohanah A. Drake de parted this life at bis home in Red Hit 1 , in this county He has for about fourteen years been au in valid, suffering with paralysis, aud bas for many years been confined to bis house. No citizen of tbe county was better known tbau be, and one of the largest concourses ever seen iu this county, followed bis remains to the grave at the family burying ground ou Parnas sus Hill, on Sunday evening last.
