Mr.. CHARLES HARTWIG, a mer-
chant tailor, who came to this city
shortly before Christmas and open
ed an establishment, was closed up
during the week and made an as
signment of his stock of goods to
Mr.. j. G. Joseph of this city, for
the benefit of his creditors. His
liabilities are about $1,700, assets
about 81, 900.
1t is we'll enough to state that
the greater part of Mr.. Hartwig's
Indebtedness was incurred before
he moved to this city. He was in
debted to parties in LOgansport,
Ind, Chicago and New York. We
are justifid in the statement that his
failure is due to no local cause. He
owed very few debts here and if he
could have tided over his present
embarrassment he would have done
a good business here this spring.

EDITORS CHRONICLES: AS you
have no regular correspondent here
in our burg I thought you might
like few items from this place.
Well, the high water has about
subsidized, and we have a good clear
road to the city again.
A very enjoyable social party was
given to the young people on last
Monday night by Mr.. Edward
Johnson and lady, at their home
near this city. Everything passed
off pleasantly, and all expressed
themselves as well pleased. Mr..
Johnson had the misfortune to lose
his dwelling by fire some time ago,
but he is now domicilled in his new
house.
Mrs. Anna Dingee, nee Pettus,
has been visiting friends and rela-
tives in our village the past week.
There is very little sickness in
this community, the smallpox and
whooping-cough epidemics not hav-
ing made their appearance in
this section. The small boys are
having a fine time with their vacci-
mated arms. They were all very
anxious to be vaccinated at first !;
but now the scene changes, and
such Wo-begOne faces you never
saw.
We are soon to lose our old
townsman, Mr.. John Duncan, who,
with his family leaves for Little
Rock, Ark, next week, near which
place he expects to locate perma-
nently. Mr.. Duncan is an old cit
izen, and we regret to see him
leave.
We hear of several marriages set
to take place in the near future,
ask a certain one of our young mer-
chants if he couldn't Sing you
marriage melody.
Why is it, that while the found
ers of the Mobile, GAINESVILLE &
Princeton railroad are so anxious to
get this road through, that they
slight this city entirely? We need
and want this road as badly as any
town on the proposed line, and we
think that if this road should come
through our old town it might,
"make things rattle"
Our tobacco buyers are busily en-
gagged buying loose tobacco through
this and adjoining Districts. The
farmers are burning plant-beds,
fencing and making ready for an
other crop.
There is one thing 1 don't clearly
understand, and that is, how a GER
tain young gentleman, no matter
how high the waters of West Fork
got during the food, could manage
to find his way over to Homer at
least once a week. Some ones
Bedu-t, might explain. ss
1t seems that we are to have no
ice season this winter, as it is rain
ing most of the time, we are enjoy
ing good healthy one now.

Thursday evening at this point, but
it is not likely to get out of IFS

The saddest sight since the JAN
uary flood, is the detected appear
ance of the old fogys. They have
had more Disappointment during
the past twelve months than it was
possible for their antediluvian hui
manity to endure. Ever since we
were small boy, these old fellows,
when the subject of weather or riv-
river was mentioned, would, with
honest pride refer to some previous
year. But things are now changed,
the winter of '80-S1 was the coolest, |
the summer of '81 the hottest and
the drouth the longest. This thing,
though notifying in the extreme,
was borne manfully until the 23d |
of January showed two feet more
water than any previous flood, this
last feather broke the camels back,
hence the detected appearance of
our "oldest inhabitants"

Death of an EsttmaBIe Old Lady.

Death OF an ESttmabie Old Lady.
We regret to chronicle the death
of one of the very oldest and most es-
Unable old ladies of this county,
that of Mrs. Persia Wilder, which
occurred on last Saturday the 4th
inst, at the residence of her son,
Mr.. H. j. Wilder, about four miles
north of this city on the Hopkins
vile pike. Mrs Wilder had lived
to the remarkable old age of eighty
eight years and was greatly beloved
and esteemed by all who came
within the benign influence of her
Christian life and character. AL
though she had been an invalid for
some years and, therefore, led a
necessarily secluded and quiet life,
still her example and influence for
good was widespread, and many
will. remember her to bless her
memory and charitable life.
She was devout communicate
of the Episcopal church, and when
her many years had ended she went
camIy "asleep in Jesus" Last
Monday her remains were brought
to this city and inferred in the old
City cemetery, the Rev. p. A. Fits
officiating at the solemn rites,

THE weather at the West has
been mild and very wet during the
month, allowing the farmers an OPP
pOrtunity to strip their crops, but
rendering them too soft to prize
with safety. Where the condition
has been reliable, prices have had
an upward tendency, and have been
higher at the barns than on the
Breaks-an unhealthy sign. We
hear as high as Sc. round paid for
dark GAINESVILLE crops; it will take
some ingenuity to get the money
back, unless we are to have another
failure.
The above is clipped from Saw
yer, Wallace & Co.'S. circular of Feb.
LIST. If any of our dealers have
paid as high as nine cents round,
we have not heard of it. The high
est that we have heard of being sew
en- cents round loose.

THE new Board of Mayor an6
Aldermen met in adjourned meet
ing on Wednesday night last, May
or Howell in the chair. The prin
cipal business OF the meeting was
to receive, audit and pass upon the
bonds of the new city officials who
were elected at the last meeting and
are required to give bond and also
to examine into street improve
ments and the pavement law.
The bond of Mr.. w. P. Hume,
City Treasurer, was received and
approved.
The bonds of the City Marshal,
Recorder, Bridge Keeper and Mar
ket Master were all discussed and
agreed upon.
The subject of street improve
ments and the pavement and side
walk law, which has been product
i've of so much trouble and annoy
ance to the city authorities in the
past, was fully discussed in all its
various phases, and the Board
showed a very sensible and COM
mendable intent to at last have
this vexatious question settled.
After a thorough discussion the
question was laid over till the next
regular meeting, with instructions
to the City Attorney to examine
into the matter and if necessary
draw up a new ordinance to cover
the case, and enable the city author
titles to enforce the building and re-
pairing of necessary sidewalks and
pavements by the property hold
ers, wherever they may be needed
throughout the city.
We will say right here, by way
of parenthesis, that the present
Board of Mayor and Aldermen,
are fully alive to the great i'm
portance of this law, and are fixed |
and determined upon its enforce
ment. We know that all good
will aid and sanction them
i'm it, and the matter needs only to
be brought particularly to the at
tention of those property holders
who ought to repair or build side
walks, and give them to understand
that it must be done, to have
the side walks on our streets in a
splendid condition.
The subject of whether the street
could contract for and
have work done without first SUBJ
the proposals to the full
Board was brought up and ELECTED
4 warm and interesting discussion.
Under a strict construction of the
city laws it was unanimously agreed
hat the street committee had no
'uch power. While the law as it
now stands is in the main just and
light, still it is found that, in minor
matters, where small damage may
nave been done to a culvert or
treet, rendering it dangerous and
necessary for prompt and immedi-
tie repairs, and other small matters
If this kind, it is impracticable and
works against the city's interest.
After thorough discussion of the
question, it was agreed to obviate
my delay and trouble that might
rise under the law, by amending
and giving the street committee
,ower to act in cases of emergen-
y, where the amount expended
would not exceed, say ten or twen-
Y dollars. We believe this was
greed to by the full board. A
God deal of routine business was
by the Board in very
and harmonious man.

Board will be the 1st Wednesday
