Sales yesterday were $50 bales, the
market closing inactive but not lower.
To-day there is scarcely any demand
and although offerings are larger buyers
cannot be tempted to invest to any great
extent. Sellers are hardly as firm but
decline making concessions except upon
round lots, and even then would only re-
duce prices fraction. Sales reported

A YOUNG LADY's REASONS FOR
NOT DANCING.-A young lady who
is lover of the pure, the good and
the beautiful, abidcs by the follow
ing rules, and they are such excel
lent ones, we deem them worthy
place in the "local column" of the
JOURNAL. The very spirit and
purity of these rules, establishes the
fact, that she is worthy the attention
and worth the having Of any young
man that is worth the having him
self:
l. Dancing would lead me into
crowded rooms and late hours, which
are injurious to health and usefulness.
,. Dancing would lead me into
close contact with very prolniscuous
company and "evil communications
corrupt good manners"
3. Dancing would allow me to use
and permit freedom with the other
sex, which l believe to be wrong.
4. My parents and friends would
be anxious about me if | were out
late, keeping company with, they
know not whom.
). Ministers, and good people in
general, disapprove of dancing, and
/ think it is not safe to set myself
against them; if a thing is even
doubtful | wish to be on the safe
side.
G. Dancing has bad name, and
| mean to study things that are pure,
lovely and of good report.
7. Dancil 6 is generally accom-
panied with drinking, and | see
drinking produces a great deal of
evil. Most Of the young men that
visit the ballroom, visit the bar
room also. and we are judged by the
company we keep.
s. | an told dancing is great
temptation to young men, and ! do
not wish to lead them astray.-
1t is my duty to "avoid the appear
ance Of evil"
9. Dancing is dissipation and it
units the mind for serious reflection
and prayer, and | mean to do moth
ing that will ostrange me from my
God and Savior.
10. There are plenty of graceful
exercises and cheerful amusements,
which have none of the objections
connected with them that lie against
dancing.

THE FAIRLY 5 o'clock last
Saturday morning, the people Of the
surrounding country began to TEEN
into our little city, for the purpose
of attending the Monthly Fair, to be
held that day. The weather was
somewhat inclement, yet this did not
prevent large gathering.
The Hall was nicely arranged, by
the ladies', where were displayed
the handiwork of Goods best gift
to man." There were about TWEEN
sty different entries of butter alone,
and the specimens would have made
a favoroble comparison with the cell
ebrated Goshen butter.
Needle work, embroidery, bed
quilts of rare beauty, and fancy
work of all kinds that woman can
only do, were on exhibition. Veg
etables, fruits, wines, preserves, and
many other things too numerous to
mention, made a creditable display.
The stock was very fine, and con-
sisted of horses, mares, colts, COWS,
hogs, pigs, &c.
Mr.. John 7. Burkhalter resided
upon the organization of the meet
ing. In the absence of Gen. a. ii.
Colquitt, who was to deliver the adj
dress, Gen. Phillips introduced Gov.
Bullock, who made few congratu-
latory remarks, when Rev. C. How
ard delivered a lengthy, pointed and
practical speech. Ex-Gov. Joseph
E. Brown and Mr.. j. G. Kimball, al
so addressed the society. After
which they adjourned over till 4
O'clock in the evening, to award pre-
miums and to have a "baby exhibit
ton" but heavy rain at that hour
prevented the mdte,5anllidS from
coming out with their little cherubs
and twas in consequence postponed.
The strawberry festival was an in
teresting feature of the Fair and
proved pleasureable occasion to
many laddie and lassie
The Cornet Band was present dis
pensing music and pleasure.
These Monthly Fairs properly
conducted are calculated to be of the
most beneficial results, they excite
generous rivalry and serve as a
stimulus to our Agriculturists in the
Improvement of their stock and
farms. Ideas are gathered here
and disseminated, that are worth to
the farmer and country fully as
much as that many dollars.
We append the Secretary's re-
port, which gives all the information
that could be desired:

ATLANTA sent a train load of her
negro population ito Marietta, on
last Monday, Pic-nic-ing. They
came beating drums and blowing
brass horns, and marched pell-mell
down to Glover's grove, where they
fddlcd, danced, drank whisky and
fought like wild cats. We learn that
one negro woman shot another enc
gro woman's nose off, while several
more pistol shots were fired and flesh
wounds inflicted. Rocks, sticks,
and bottles were used freely. These
colored troops fight nobly every
time they come up here to have a
picnic They went back fully sat
isfed and hoping that they may
never see Marietta again, and we
hope so too.

BACo% IN ABUNDANCE.-We heard
a gentleman say the other day
that the smoke houses of the farmers
throughout this country were packed
full of bacon, and all because they
cant sell it to the home merchants
for more than II cents per pound
Several car loads have been sold
here at that price. We fear there
is danger of losing this country Gus
tom to our town, if our buying prices
are not kept up with other towns. =
Buying and selling bacon seems to
be good Notwithstanding at l
cents and selling at 1G. From 40
to so per cent. used to be considered
extortion on dry goods, but now it
is only reasonable profit on bacon,
How things have changed.-DGltOn
Citizen.
