Lines on the Death of W. M. Gay, wlio
Died in Dome, Ga., December 4, 1875.
WRITTEN BY A LUIT FKIKTD. FOR THE ROME
COMMERCIAL.
Yes he is gone, but say not that lie’s dead
Foronlv the wicked ran die:
The brichfp.t Jewels of earth ’tis said
Arc wanted by Jesus on high.
Tueu i.i v jour iciir.'. it is mockery to weep
For out who has fallen so sweetly to sleep.
He trusted in .Testis who only can save.
And true peace and happiness bring,
Oh!' here is thy victory dark, gloomy grave
Since death lias been robbed of its sting !
Th ‘>i dry your tears. It is mockery to weep
When death and the grave have nothing to
leap.
•‘Oh. < and” said a watcher when sorely bereft,
“Permit me the justice to see
Why my friend must betaken, while otlieis
arc left
Who are not halt so good as he.
Fric and dr\ vour tears. It is mockery to weep
It is all Odd’s work, llis wisdem is deep.
We would have kept him a little ionger,
Even when the angels came,
lint the mandate co-id have been no stronger
’Te as sent in God’s own name
But drv vour tears, bis life’s work is done,
Joy—Eternity—and Heaven are wen.
Fond parents, I know you most deeply feel
The loss of so dear a son,
But let wisdom make its gentle appeal.
Think of the crown lie has won.
Then dry your eyes and weep no more,
In Heaven his sorrows are o’er.
You may s gh as yon think of the gentle smile
Which told ot the love he bore ,
Kemeinher it is hnt]for .a little while
That he has gone before,
lie’s (here to pfepare you a home in the sky
Whore von’il dwell with him in realms on
high. *
To his friends who saw him fade away
This consolation is given.
For him there has dawned a long blight day
Of rest and peace in heaven.
Then dry your tears be is lice from all pain
Remember fond mourners your loss was bis
gain.

Rome Commercial: In his better

of Fulton county to purchase a lot

the Ordinary has been notified that
the city desires possession. The

fire-proof buildings to secure the re
cords from theft and fire. The coun
ty is out of debt, and the county tax
es lower than any in the State. She
ought to have a courthouse of liei
own.

Ilerald and Georgian: “The Green

merchant of Atlanta, is a candidate
for State Treasurer. It says he lived
many years in New York, made a
good soldier in the Confederate army,
and is worth a fortune of one hun
dred thousand dollars. Now it may
he very nice to live in New York,
and must make a man feci very com
fortable to have a hundred thousand
dollars, and is certainly commenda
ble to be a good soldier, but how
these things qualify a man for State
Treasurer we are unable to see.”
“11. 11. J.,” of the Macon Tele
graphi, records the following inci
dents, which lie says were obtained

Webster county one respectable fami

coffee. Near a place called Boxancle.
also, in Stewart county, an impecu
nius negro who had a large family,
employed all the children unable to
do field work in gathering hickory
nuts, the kernels of which furnished
tlie only grease for their greens and
corn-dodgers.” He also learns that
that whole region of country is cru
elly pinched for food.
Columbus Enquirer , sth : “The ne
groes have been daily leaving this
place for the past ten days for Miss
issippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. As
many as three hundred have gone up
to date. We hear of some few farms
and sections where nearly a'l of the
labor has left. Many still are ex
pressing a desire to get off’. The rail
roads offer extra inducements, and
by some means money is raised to
pay transportation. We think the
plan adopted by the Central Road a
wise one —that is, to charge full fare
for every emigrant—urging that they
should try to keep the laboring class
here instead of getting rid of them.”
Southern Iron-
A letter from Col. George T. Lewis,
one of the best informed iron men of
the country, to Col. Morgan,of Nash
ville, says the Charleston News and
Courier, makes a very flattering ex
hibit for the iron interest of the
South. The writ ter shows the cost
of making a ton of pig in Pitts
burg, as shown by one of toe papers
of that city, is $25 02 ; while the cost
of making a ton of metal of the same
quality at Cumberland Works, Ten
negseee, including the cost of trans
potation, is oniy sl6, making a dif
ference of nine dollars per ton in favor
of Southern iron. This profit on
30,000 tons a year would be very
handsome.
Mr. Lowthian Bell, the great iron
man of the world, stated on his re
turn from a visit to the United States,
in an address to the British Iron and
Steel Institute, that “Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia could produce
iron at a little over half the cost in
the North Pennsylvania—and as
cheap as the most favored localities
in Great Britian.” Not only is this
iron cheap, but it is also of the finest
quality. An iron manufacturer, in a
letter written to the Pittsburg Review ,
states that “the iron from Alabama
and Tennessee has brought in Phila
delphia sixty-three dollars a ton,
and gave character and tone to high
priced Northern iron that the Northern
Throughout the iron region oi trie
South are found beds of ore contain
ing from 57 to 59 per cent, of pure
metallic iron, and these beds are
almost exhaustible. With an abun
dant supply of coal near at hand,
every facility is offered for the full
development of tnis great interest.
The fact that iron can he manufactur
ed in the South and delivered in
Pittsburg for less than the cost of man
ufacturing Pennsylvania iron, recalls
to mind another interesting fact, that
cotton yarn can be spun in the South
and sold in New York for less than
the cost of production by the North
ern factories. There is a great future
for the manufacturing interests of
the South. —Macon Telegraph

The following is an editorial from
the Senoia Enterprise:
In reviewing the.catalogue ofGeor
gia’s great and renowned men for a
suitable occupant of the Gubernato
rial chair, we know of no one better
qualified than the great and noble
General Lucius J. Gartrell. He is a
man who has filled many public po
sitions of trust and honor-'-yet he is
not by any means an office seeker—
and lie has always proved himself
worthy of the responsibility reposed
in him. His name now meritoriously
stands among the candidates for our
next Governor.
Gen. Gartrell in 1803, was solicited
by his gallant soldiers and officers to
accept the candidacy for Governor,
and though the prospects of success
seemed Jattering, he was induced by
patriotic motives to refuse to run the
race.
Asa man he is possessed of tal
ents of the highest order, true to every
trust; beloved by the people, kind
and generous to the poor and an in
corruptible patriot who never quails
before opposition. Gtn. Gartrell is
one of Georgia’s most worthy and
ho nored sons.
Congressman Holman, of Indiana,
lias prepared a programme for reduc
ing appropriation bills $46,000,000
over last year. He cuts public build
ings down $10,000,000, and allows no
more to he started ; abolishes the let
ter carrier system in cities of less ;
than 80,000 inhabitants; abolishes the I
Marine Corps, and closes up all navy i
yards but one or two ; cuts the army '
and navy down one-third to one- j
half; stops river and harbor improve-!
merits almost entirely, and reduces
the salaries of postmasters one-half.
This item alone saves $3,000,000. He
also makes a general reduction of all
other salaries, to a greater or less ex
tent, in every department, except
Congress and Congressional ap
pointees.

mHE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND BAPTIST
1L appeals to the affection ns well as to the
interest of every member, of the great Baptist
family in Georgia. Every Baptist in the South
feels a just pride in his or her denominational
paper, and should use every possible means to
induce non-subscribing Baptists to take this,
THE BEST RELIGIOUS FAMILY HAPI R

In size, mechanical execution and complete
ness it is UNSURPASSED.
Its Editorial Staff is composed of some of the
most eminent writers in the Denomination.
It has a large corps of paid Contributors and

endorsed by their Conventions and urgently
recommended to ihe exclusive favor and
patronage of the Denomination in Georgia.
Therefore we urge and earnestly request ev
ery Baptist in Georgia to subscribe for The In

membership is supplied with the paper.
Every Baptist in Georgia should make
it his duty to subscribe tor and support the

See i!s Peculiar Merits aulAJiaiitaies,
1. Asa Denominational Organ, In it are
found discussed all topics and subjects vital to
the Christianity of, the age, and especially to
us as .Baptists. No paper evidences more wis

done their work.

tions tout hing subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds of
the age think, as to the subjects indicated, as
well as of those who edit anil control the paper.
4. “Our Pulpit” is another Important fea
ture. Each issue contains a carefully prepared
sermon, which, in itself, is worth the' subscrip
tion price of the paper.
5. All information relating to HUSBANDRY—
the laboring class or Granges—is carefully ma
nipulated tor your beneht.
0 The wants of your children are not neg
lected. Selections are made from the best Sab
bath school and children’s papers, making
this department alike instructive and enter
taining.
7. Prom the secular press is gleaned the
latest political intelligences national and in
ternational.
These are some of the peculiar merits of The
Index. Now, as to its advantages:
1. You have, combined, the theological, lit
erary, Sabbath school, political and agricultu
ral in our paper, all for Three Dollars.
2. The paper is centrally and cligiblv located

THE DAILY AMERICAN,
Nashville, Tennessee.
mHE centralization of power in Washington,
JL and the control cf ctirrupt combinations
oi the day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to 11-oece the people of
their hard earnings, was justly excited the pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paving billions
of debt in gold, at a period of general stagna
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the ges eminent into an ah o
lute monarchy, to reduce the tree people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up of the
lew at the expense of the many; the excessive
inequalities ot burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizens, all of whom sue
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these iu the general prostration of business af
ford just cause for alarm. They aflord also a
just cause for a demand for a change in the
National administration oi public affairs,
it is therefore the duty of the Democracy,
which in its purity is th'e representative and
defender of the people, and of the people
themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the growing evils which threaten to
overwhelm all in common ruin. There must
be a change ot the National administration
before there is either safety or real reform.
This is the vital question beiore the people.
Toe American is on the side of the people
and ol ehange. It lias its views and expresses
them from day to day. and while doing so
frankly and honestly, it also fairly and as
fully as its space will permit, gives "the views
and arguments of the other side. It claims
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to intorm them truthfully of
all matters in which they themselves are
mostly concerned. *
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of a Presidential campaign of the greatest
moment to the people, it behooves the Con
servative and Democratic masses of this sec
tion to supply themselves, in time, with jiolit
ieal news, facts and general political informa
tion irom the nearest central distributing
point. The American, issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, and supplying as well, much
ol the territoryof Kentucky, Georgiaaud Ala
bama, is the only Daily Iteinocratic journal
published within a radius of more than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there are nearly
if not quite a. million of people. It furnishes
to its readers, at heavy exuense, the full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Press, including the Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in which the Democrats, lor the
first time since the war, have „ majority in the
Lower > louse and nearly half the members of
the Senate.
The season is rapidly approaching and near
at hand when will be discussed political issues
affecting the National, and Statu elections of
1870. Tnc Presidential election overshadows
all others in ils importance at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may be hard, the very
occasion of hard times is traceable to sources
with which the people ought to be acquainted,
and ot which i; is the mission of the AMERI
CAN to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest to ak the attention of
the masses of the people in its columns, which
will he always full aud reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrats and Conservatives ofTeimes
see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness,
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which arc now agitating the public mind, and
w hich will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of the Government itself in the
future. The American has nnueviatingly
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of
the rights of the States, aud of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed bv a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges itself anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reform and the
restorati< n of the old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard of official honor.
By a law oi Congress which want into effect
on the first of January, 1875, the publishers of
daily newspapers are required at the time of
■nailing, to prepay all postage, which relieves
the subscriber of the payment of postage at
the office ol delivery. Under thislaw the post
age will be less than the previous law. The
postage on the Daily will be 60 cents instead of
$1.20, on the Weekl'., 15 ccuts instead of 30
