House last Tuesday night was large
ly attended and quite a success. =
Messrs. Lewis left nothing undone
that would add to the brillisncy of
the occasion or the pleasures of those
present. The committee of young
men who had the affair in charge,
consisted of Clifton Mansfield Rich
ard Vim, Thos. w. Glover, w. j.
VIM and j. G. Howell. The mus
ic was excellent. Besides Marietta s
own lovely daughters, there were
quite a number of others from other
cities Miss Sallie' Small and Miss
Willie Small, of Savannah !; Miss
Lulu HammoL I'd and Miss Katie
Owens, of Atlanta; Miss Emma
Jones, of Gainesville Miss Annie
johnson, of Macon Miss Fannie
Prescott, Miss Annie Prescott, and
Miss Helen Prescott, of Columbus /;
and Miss Sallie Hyer, of Pensacola,
Fla. Quite a number of young gem
tlemen from neighboring towns were
also present. The costumes of the
ladies were superb. In every par>
ticular it was the grandest hop of the
season, although the Kennesaw
House is justly popular for its mag
niticent entertainments.
Hon. Ii. w. billiard has bid
himself off dirt cheap as an lnde>
pendent democratic candidate for
Congress from the Columbus district.
He hopes to ride into office on Sam
bo's back. We hope the true dem>
ocracy of that district will refuse to
put premium upon such demagog>
uery by their votes, but will set
down on him very hard.
The crops are reported, through
our exchanges, as generally good
throughout the State. In many sec
tions they are superb. Some few
spots tdey have suffered from dry
weather, and also some complaint in
lower Georgia of rust on cotton. Tia
ken altogether Georgia has the finest
crop since the war, especially the
provision crop.
Mr.. J. 7. Burkhalter announces
himself a candidate for Ordinary of
Cobb county in this issue. He is
lacking in none of those qualifica>
tons necessary to make an efficient
and faithful and upright officer.
MARRIED. On the evening of
Odd of August, at the residence OF
the brides father, A. NJ. Franklin,
Esq, by Rev. A. J. FARRELL, Mr..
II. B. Goodwin, of Powder Springs,
to Miss f. f. Franklin, of Carriers
Vile. The happy couple arrived
here on Saturday morning, and we're
warmly received by host Of friends,
eager to congratulate them, and who
We'd with each other in generous
emulation to do honor to the fair
young bride. Mr., G lisa most pop
lar merchant of this place, and uni|
versally esteemed for his many vir-
tues. lie has set good example to
the young men of this vicinity, and
trust it will have a salutary effect
in awakening them from their lelh-
argy, TO a sense of their duty, and
stimulate them to 60 and do like
wise. May heavens choicest bless
ings attend them.
Nil DEsPERANDUM.

There is some chosen thur der,
some hidden and namelcss curse,
some uncommon wrath reserved in
the stores of Democracy, and with
chain>ightning as terrible as the
shafts of Jove, to blister and blast
the wretch who deserts his organiza,
ton and plays the Infamous role of
the "4rdependeut. "-ARanta Com
