On Saturday last a large and enthusiastic meeting of the cit izens of the county was held at the Court House where they were addressed by these distinguished gentlemen. Mr. Guerard is a pleasant speaker, ready and able and in the interest of Mr. Nor wood, his speech was a good one full of facts and convincing to the understanding. The adminis tration of Gov. Colquitt suffered severely at his hands and the short comings of the chief Exec utive of our State were shown up in a strong light. He was followed by the Hon. Rufus E. Lester, a son of Chatham, whom all Georgians delight to honor, a Democrat tried and tiue, honest xnd pure—talented aud worthy, a man whose character is above reproach and beyond suspicion, his speech was listened to with great attention and had weight with the whole assemblage, near ly all agreeing with the distin guished speaker in his eloquent remarks upon the present ad ministration which was not what the people desired—a change was asked for, and demanded by tile good thinking men of the State und it was to be hoped that a change would be made, as it would redound to the honor of the democracy and the good ol Georgia. Mr. Lester made a very favorable impression upon our people, and gained many friends during his short stay among us. Mr. Guerard is a young man ol brilliant promise, a lawyer of admitted ability and we would welcome him among us at all times when duty or inclination should send him into our county. ADVKR1ISEMENT.

By some means or other the office boy owed one of the clerks three cents, the clerk owed the cash ier two cents, and tho cashier owed tho office boy two cents. One day last week, the office boy having a cent Never steer your course to please other people, for wherein you please in his pocket, concluded to diminish one you offend another; but Vork bis debt, and therefore hamled it to pleaue God and your conscience over h> l ) ie o1 ^ who . in t “ rn , * - - half trf his debt by giving it to the cashier. The latter handed it back to the boy, saying that he now only owed one cent. The office boy again passed the cent to the clerk, who passed it to the cashier, who passed it back to the boy, and the boy dis charged his entire debt by handing to tho clerk, thereby squarring all accounts* Thus it may be seen how great is the benefit- to be derived from a single cent if only expended judiciously.—Ex. and all good men will approve.— And do your work to-day, for to morrow is not yours. If you have a good word to speak to an erring or depressed soul, make haste to speak it or you may loose the op portunity.

Governor-elect Plaisted, . of Maine, is not a novice in public affairs, lie was horn in Jefferson, New Hampshire, on November 2, 1828, and was brought up on his father’s farm, working during the summer months und teaching school in winter. He finally grad uated at Colby university in 1858, and at the Albany law school in 1855, when he was admitted to the bar, and began the practice of the law in Bangor, Me., in 185(5. He served in the union army through out the war as colonel of the Elev enth Maine volunteers, und receiv ed at its close the brevet of major general. In 1867-08 lie sat in the state legislature, was a delegate- at-large to the national republican convention of 1808, und served as attorney general of the state du ring 1873-75. In 1874 he was elected to congress front the fourth district by about 1,000 majority, hut was not a candidate in 1870. He left the republican party about two years ago, and the late cam paign doubtless opened his eyes fully to the real nature of the par ty tlmt lie opportunely left.
