Another Richmond In the Field.
Matters are assuming a serious as -

with Judge Letter’s candidature the
people harebet-n burdened with that
of Dr. Felton. Close on tha heels of
the Dr. and in bis shoes, came end
Holtsolaw, the Republican candi
date. Now, we have another in the
person of Judge John Stowers, of
Haralson county. He formerly an
nounced himself an independent
candidate for congressional honors
ou yesterday. At the present wri
ting we can not estimate Judge Stow
ers’strength. He may run a lively

TRIP TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.
Editor Express.—On Mouduy, the
46th of August, N. J. Tumlin, wile
and three children, and J. 0. Wad-
Jell, wife and four children, with u
wagon load of such things as conduce
to creature comfort, and six colored
individuals, principally male and fe
male started lor Lookout Mountain
in qneit of health and pleasure.
Right hero wo conclude to remark
that those persons who have never
camped out, slept in a church, court
house, shuck pen, nr Btable, or ate
out of a frying pan with ten or more
persons “sopping” out of it at the
same time, know nothing nbout gen
uine pleasure, or at leust hunger.
We carried supplies sufficient to Inst
us home, yet we bought full supplies
twice, besides almost numberless
eggs, quantities of butter etc., nnd
took several square meals at the
homes of some of the oleverest people
we ever saw. A sense of fullness,
way down in our bowels, oomes over
ub when we think of those good peo
ple. The second day, we reached
Summerville, twenty-five miles be
yond Rome, in Chattooga county,
where we were the guests of that hos
pitable gentleman, Hon. Samuel
Hawkins. Everybody does, or ought
to know Judgo Hawkins. Tis said,
that there lias never been a case of
the “blues” in ton miles of him, of
such an overflowing amount of hu
mor has tic. On the 3d day we pass
ed Trion Factory, some of the party
never having seen a factory in oper
ation, we halted here several hours.
Judge Algood the President and
principle owner, is us polite and gon-
tlemnnfy, and takes ub much pleasure
in allowing points of interest to
strangers, as does our Mr. A. G. Welt.
The present factory, with all of its
appmtenancos, is entirely new, nnd
everything is gotten up, on the most
modern and approved plans. Judge
Algood and Trion Factory are an
ornament to Georgia.
Passing through LnFaycttc that
evening, we were taken charge of by
Mr. Joe Hall, who insisted that we
take possession of a comfortable
house he lias on the mountain which
was thou vacant, he voluntarily ri
ding eight miles to show us the place.
We were delighted to find a good,
comfortable house, a splendid garden,
excelleut Jruiit.iuid as good a spring
of iron and Biilplior water as can be
found anywhere. We certainly shall
never forget Mr. Hall and his great
kindness, nor our near neighbors,
Mr. anil Mrs. Haynce, to whom we
were indebted for many kindnesses.
For genuine hospitality, honesty and
kindness, commend us to those good
people on Lookout Mounluin.
The first day or two after reaching
the mountain was devoted to rest,
and seeing such points of interest ns
lay nearest us. The first of these
was the Onlch, an immense chasm,
twelve or fifteen hundred feet deep,
and from a quarter to a half mile
wide. Overlooking this chasm, one
can plainly see everv house iu Tren
ton, and every farm, save two in .the
county of Dade. A description of
this guloh is impossible. In the lan
guage of tile late lamented aud learn
ed Rev. Oh tries Wallace Howard,
“It is a fearfully grand pseotacle.”
Ou the Eastern side of the moun
tain, convenient to LaFnvette, Tren
ton, Rising Fawn, Uhattanooga and
Ringgold, Mr. Howard built v beau
tiful home, and when his useful life
went out on the 25th day of Decem
ber 1876. Few men ever lived in
Georgia, who did more to advance
the interest of the state than he,
while none, in our judgment equaled
him in his effort to advance and ele
vate the agricultural interests of the
state. It wus our pleasure nnd good
fortune to spend a day with his fam-
ils, which consists of his wife and
three daughters. Lhey are surroun
ded by everything which makes life
charming. We saw and ate vegeta
bles, apples, peuohes, grapes, water
melons on the 3d day ol September,
suoh as we valley folks never see.
We also visited Mr. Bryan, recently
of Savannah, a sou-in-law of Mr.
Howard, who has bought a place and
improved it, abont ono mile from
Mr. Howard. Here we were feasted
on the finest peaches and grapes of
every variety we ever saw. Mr. Bry
an has gone extensively into grape
onlture, haying planted several acres
in ’hem. Mrs. Bryan, with several
negroes, was busy boxing up the
grapes and sending them off to mar
ket
We visited also "point Lookout”
overlooking Chattanooga, but fear
ing we may weary you, and know
ing this point has been often describ
ed, we desist, besides the points on
wbioh we have dwelt more at length
are in our judgment, decidedly thq
most interesting parts of Lookout
Monntuiu. The mountain is special-
ly adapted to raising oattle, (the pas
turage being excellent) nnd vegeta
bles and fruits of every kind.
On our return, we were most hos
pitably entertained hv Mr. and Mrs.
A. A. Simmons, at LaFayette, and
ltev. I. G. Cruwford and family in
Dirt Town Valley, Chattooga county.
Wo formed many very pleasant ac
quaintances on ttie trip, among them
Mr. W. 0. McWhorter, who had
been stmlehed almost from death’s
door by using the mineral water from
Hull’s Spring. The lots around this
spring have been laid oif town fash
ion, and is now culled the town of
Dillon.
All in ail, it wav the most pitas
ant trip we ever had, and we com
mend Lookout Mountain, nnd its
people to all our friends who desire
to spend a few weeks next Bummer
either for health or pleasure.
At another time if you are willing
we will write something about the
speoial features of Interest which we
witnessed. Iu this, we linvo been al
ready too lengthy. T. & W.

Two new bales cotton in town yes

Whitehead, Jones & Co. bought the
cotton yesterday. Thos. Moore A
Co. bought the bale this morning at

We would like to suggest to some
of our young people in this vicinity,
that they hold a meeting on Satur
day evenings to do their talking and

Last Saturday evening whisky and
beer flowed freely, and the effect

Hon. W. II. Felton was in Rock-
mart last night from Haralson, left

In these days of evil reports and
political jugglery, a bit of really good
news is to the human heart, as the
gentle dew of Heaven to the parched
flower. Yesterday morning the Rock-
mart friends of onr esteemed fellow-
oitizen, Mr. E. J. Dupree, were grat
ified by a visit from that gentleman,
the first in ten weary months, during
which time he has been confined to
hit bed. We extend our gratula-
tious to Mr. Dupree, also to Dr.
Doyle, formerly of this place, now ol
Cedartown under whose medical di
rection be is being rapidly restored
to his wonted health and usefulness.
Haralson County.
Buchanan, Ga., fiept. 1 (j, 1878.
As wo write we may announce
that our friend Bill Mann is iu town
to day because we hear him smite.
Mr. Martin Key ou Beach Creek,
has a new kind of corn which boars
from four to twelve ears to the stalk
hill ordinary distance.
Mr. G. M. Roberts’ little hoy some
time since was stricken down ivitli
paralysis and lias been confined ever
since. We arc glad to kuow howev
er that lie will probably recover.
In his speech at Buchanan Dr.
Felton charged that Judge I,ester
was running on n platform in favor
of organizing what lie called the old
wild cat banking system.
Doctor Felton in his speech nt
Buchnnnn and at TaUapoosa too,
said that while Judge Lester was
Emigrant agon’, lie was in his furni
at his plow, toiling Tor his bread.
Dootor Felton in his Bpeecli at
Buchanan where there were a good
many Republicans,, said that he was
an independent candidate for Con
gress, and at Tallapoosa where there
was hut one or two Republicans he
said that he was an Independent
Demoeraft’ccandidate for congress.
The boys in Uqclianan are amu
sing themselves by conversing over
a thread telephone, which is done by
means of a course cotton thread be
ing tightly drawn ht any desired dis
tance. The one used here extends
from Mr. Munroe’s store to Robin
son & Jackson’s shop, ndislunccof
one hundred yards; At each end is
an oyster con, andipn ordinary whis
per may be distinctly heard from
one end to the other.
Dr. Felton was billed for Buchan
an on the Iltli inst., and for Talla
poosa on the next duy the 12th. On
tile 11 til nt about 11 o’clock the ven
erable independent drove into Buch
nnnn behind a little black mule
which looked to he as stubbornly in
dependent ns the doctor. After be
ing greeted by a lew of his Rcpukli-
tan friends, Dr. Felton went to t.lio
court house, took the stand and com-
meticed by suyuigTlmf he was an
independent candidate for re-election
to Congress, aud that his opponent
wns Judge Lester, who claimed to be
tlie standard bearer fur the little
Ringgold ring.
He said that he had no unkind
feelings for Judge Lester nor for the
members of the convention by which
he was nominated. That, lie suppos
od they were good honest men, nnd
yet in almost the next breath he
would in his most vehement style
charge them with being a setofpo-
litical tricksters, professional politi
cians, thimble riggers etc., for
cing the good people of the Seventh
under their party Itish to the polls.
After spending half an hour in
abuse of the Ringgpld Convention
whose members he at first supposed
were good men, the doctor proceeded
to discuss his record, to wliioli lie
stock for about an hour, and finally
wound up with his usual charges
against Judge Lester. The crowd to
which he spoke numbered about 65
voters, and we think it hut fair to
say that half of these were Lester
men. The doctor opened and con
cluded his remarks without a single
tap or whisper of applause.
Doctor Felton epoke next day ac
cording to appointment at Tallapoo
sa. He was most respectfully an d
attentively listened to by a crowd of
37, of which, 3 were avowed Felton
men, 2 doubtful, and 32 straight out
for Lester, and this tile doctor’s own
appointment which had been pub
lished for several days.

Liver Is King.
The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it con
trols the life, health and happiness
of man. When it is disturbed in its
proper action, all kinds of ailments
are the nalttral resiflt. The diges
tion of food, the movements of the
heart and blood, the action of the
brain and nervous system,are all im
mediately connected with the work
ings of the Liver. It has been suc
cessfully proved that Green’s August

-Soon our paper will have its usual
quota. At the bead of the column
stands out in bold relief the name of
Jud Grubb. Every body knows Jml
nnd nearly everybody trades witli
him more or lees. Jud undoubtedly
does the Fancy Grocery trade of Cc-
dartown; and in saying this it is no
reflection on our other good mer
chants, for ‘.heir attention being,
drawn to heavier and more general
stocks, they do not devote the atten
tion to fancy groceries that Jud does.
At the same time, Jittl keeps a full
line of staple goods. Try him. It is a
pleasure to trade with him.
