I»r. It. R. Kieves and Mr. duel
Cowart are soon to open another dry
goods and grocery store in this vil
lage. These two gentlemen are so
genial, polite and accommodating
that I am led to hope they will adopt
the credit system : in that event yon
need not he' surprised if I drop into

around the gossypiuin, (vide diction
ary ; and. by the way. what does *’sa-

damage to the staple; lint I think
their force is too weak tocflect lunch,
besides they are behind schedule
time. The 'truth is the caterpillars
and the rust aud the balance of man
kind are behaving so well as to pro
duce a perfect famine of local news.
However, last Wick a colored lady

Savannah News thus speaks oil thi

The New York Sun is quite right
in censuring members of the Georgia
Legislature for accepting, and some
times even asking for, free passes over
ail roads in the Slate. The cell sure
is justly deserved, anil ought to re
sult, in the passage of a bill prohibi
ting the acceptance of free passes by
any officer of Hie State.
I remember well when Dr. K. A’
Flewcllen, of the Macon and Bruns
wick Uailrimd, arose in Hie Constitu-
timial Convention mid moved that no
mileage he allowed holders of free
pn-ses. Ilis iiiotiiui, however, was
voted down almost iinmiiiiioiisly, ns
several such motions have been in
various sessions of the General As
sembly. Members who are the most
eager to get free passes, not only over
the roads leading lo their homes, lint
other lines of travel, me also the
most zealous opponents Ilf Hint reduc
tion of mileage.
But worst of all, and most to lie
i-iiiiilcuincd, is the practice of lend
ing, hiring or selling free passes to
friends. Several members have been
guilty of allowing other per-on- to
use tiu-ii passes, altlioiif. li Hie said
passes are plaiulv marked “not trans
