THE NECK.

In all horses the neck should be fine and
arsh-looking where it joins the head. Firm
ness in this locality adds greatly to the beauty
Of the horse, and generally speaks we'll for the

head and neck should he such as 10 cause the

A Big Day.

To day is the designated time for
the Democratic Mass Meeting and
Barbecue, to be held at Glover's
Grove, near the corporate limits OF
Marietta. Extensive preparations
have been made, and if the weather
is suspicious, it will be largely at
tended and happy affair. We
trust our citizens will make it con-
venient, that it may not be discred-
liable in numbers or lacking in en-
thusiasm. 1t has been many day
since Cobb engaged in a similar
demonstration and we trust this
event will be one in her history
that memory will revert to with
pride. A free discussion Of poll
tics will be had. The most promi-
nent public speakers in Georgia will
be present to address the assembly.
Hill, Brown, Wofford, Hardeman,
Weems, Lester, and others, will
make the welkin ring to-day. Let
everybody 60. Stands have been
erected and seats provided and
the ladies can attend with perfect
propriety.

HAUNTED HoUSE-MYsTERIoUs
OCCURRENCES.
Respectfully, &C.,
A. G. MCINTosH.

Great excitement is prevailing in
AppIing county owing to extrAordi.
nary, marvellous. manifestations, that
for days have been transporting in
the house Of Hon. A. p. Surrency,
at Station No. 6, an the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad. The house is
two stories high, consisting of eight
rooms. Strange noises and rappings
are heard. Glass tumblers slide off
the slab and crockery-ware fall and
break. Boaks tumble from their
sheI> es to the floor, hot brick bats
fall in the centre of the floor, billets
of wood, smoothing irons, tin pans,
water buckets, ears of corn, scissors,
&C., at different times fall in differ
parts of the house. yet all efforts to
discover the unseen power that
causes these very strange occurren-
ces have proven in vain. Hundreds
of people visit the house daily and
witness these mysterious transac-
tiops. The papers in Macon send
reporters down who witness the same
things. While six or eight women
were sitting in the front parIor, in
day time, hog deliberately walked
in at the front door to the centre 9th
room, made circle, and walked in>
to an adjoining room. Every one
followed il to see what it would
do, when suddenly and unaccounta-
bly, it vanished, leaving the crowd
mystified. An old sailor went down
to unravel the affair, and while on
the eve of going into another room
to get bottle of Risky, which he
knew Mr.. Surrency had, the bottle
suddenly fell al his side on the floor.
He picked it mp, took drink and
set the bottle down, when il left as
mySterinusly as it appeared. The
proprietor has been living there 20
years and never before was disturb
ed this way.

Mr.. EDITOR Sir: / have in
times past, had the pleasure of hear
ing Judge Hammond of Atlanta,
Bull of Troupe, and E. Y. Hill of
Lagrange, deliver charges to differ
ent Grand Juries in Georgia-and
well have they performed that duty
- but | never heard more faithful
charge, delivered with more zeal
and love of country, than fell from
the lips of Judge N. B. Knight" at
the last term of Cobb Superior Court.
This charge was truly a vindication
of law. His administration through
out the week was dignifed, manly
and Impartial.
The same love of order and jus
tice was exhibited by the Grand and
Petit Juries, officers and bar.
Sir, while | am proud of our court
and its officers, feel equal pride in
the prominent position which our
county occupies in the State, excel
ing all in fine stock, manufacture
and farm products, &C., aud last but
not least, | must say, that there is
not published in the State more ex-
ceIlent and truthful newspaper than

Cobb, around ard into whose centre

Our Next State Fair.

The next State Fair will be held
in Macon, and there will be three
premiums awarded of $1,000, 5000,
and $500 to the same number of
counties making the best displays.
In view Of the announcement that
Cobb would be a competitor and
would carry off the $1,000 premium,
the Macon Telegraph says;
Fellow citizens, Cobb county will
not be likely to do it. When she
gets down here into the white settle
nents, she will find Bib, Monroe,
Houston, Macon, Sumter, Dough-
erty, Baker, Lee, Twiggs and
host of other counties TO test her
metal, and she will be amazed to see
villa. they can roll out when they
try. From this good hour we mott
fy Cobb to do her best, if she wants
even respectable place in this
crowd and as for carrying off the
thousand dollars, ust let her do 1t
if she can Middle Georgia will cnt
Cobb's comb before next Noyem-
ber.'
So it seems the name Of Cobb has
already inspired dread in the heart
of our good Macon brother, and be-
fore the contest he is beginning ia
summon his legions to arms. But
before he shouts victory" he had
better learn the price Of beans. y
"Proof Of the pudding is chewing
the bag" Cobb, as yet, has never
occupied any but the most ''re-
spectacle" positions, and she does
not fear occupying an interior place
at Macon. Cobb will not have the
same advantages OF contestirg at the
next Fair, that the adjacent counties
viii naturally have, but she will
give them the toughest iusseI" they
ever had in any contest. We have
he productions, the material, the
industry, the wealth and the men Of
enterprise, and The people Of that
section will have TO wake up from
their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep ifihey
cut the comb Of Goth at the time
specified.
