DARrEN, GA, October 15.-Editor Morning
NetCs: The first cold spe of the season visited
US here on last evening, nd the ever welcome
frost, especially after a very unhealthy sum-
mer, is anxiously looked for Many of the
citizens have moved back to their winter quar-
ters, while others, including the doctors, will
wait for the sign of frost. 1t is unnecessary
Tor me again to say that it has been years since
our little city and county have had such an
amount of sickness within its boundaries, and
now glad we are to again welcome cool weather
and all be able to once more gather around the
hreside Of home. Some of the rice planters
along the Altamaha have suffered from the re-
cent high tides and damp weather, while others
have made fine crops and are highly delighted
with the remunerative prices and the prospect
of their continuance.
The comet, which has caused so much COM
ment and is general subject for conversation
shows forth brightly in the east at 4 O'Clock
a. n. Many have seen it, and think that it is
perfectly grand. The weary eyeIids of most
however, forbid their seeing this wonder in the
skies. - '
Base ball ended this season by the Altannahas
winning the championship of the county, but
l may say it was hard fight for them to carry
off the victory
The Mcintosh Light Dragons held their
quarterly meeting and parade on the 9Th when
the beautiful new flag, which the ladies of the
county had made for the company, was pre-
sented by the Rev. Byron Holly in behalf of
the ladies. In afew neat and very appropriate
remarks ne congratulated the company on its
fine appearance. Captain g. II Hopkins re-
celved the nag end thanked the lad es very
kindly for it, and said: I'VE appreciate the
sentiment that actuated them and shall cherish
i as memento of their interest in u.s. And
feel satisfied that the young gentlemen whom
they have honored will never prove recreant.''
The Captain received the flag, and after a few
remarks, he turned to the color-bparer, Mr..
Thos. Bailey, who in a few words thanked his
commander for the trust bestowed on him
The day ended with ball given at the Magno
Liza House by several of the young men. The
gay os WIN long be remembered by the people of
Mcintosh county.
There was very little Interest manifested in
this community in the October elections but
the news from Ohio is so encouraging that the
Democrats of the country are aroused and we
look forward to see every Democrats vote cast
IN the balot-box on the 7th of November ,Jno.
q. Nichols will have no trouble in getting
elected. SO the Republicans, if they act wise,
Will keep their money in the Northern Statea
The officers here in the government employ
nave been assessed several times, but whether
they have responded or not cannot say.
Sandldates have been already placed in the
Held Tor the January election and it promises
TO be one " the hottest contests ever made in
the county. The ticket which was published
last week IN the Gazette seems to meet the
approval of all classes of citizens
Old man Campbell, having made success ~
out or the independent movement, can now go
back to Washington and report his achieve
menus Ta1s1I 20 BOSS Arthur. Did l say go backf
Well II was a mistake, for the parson is under
bond to answer criminal charge at the next
sitting of the Superior Court, and it may be a
long time before he again sees Boss Arthur
the man who has abused the trust bestowed
upon him to work his own ends and failed.
Business will soon commence to spring up,
and everyone will be glad. DER.
