FAIKMOUNT,
A Composition Read at the Fairinount
Academy Exhibition.
The following composition was
read at the exhibition pf Capt, Ful
ton’s school, on the 2nd inst., and we
l ike pleasure in publishing it at the
rsquest of a number of citizens of
that village. It is by Miss Addie
Armstrong, of Calhoun, Ga.:
FAIRMOUNT.
Fairmount is a small village of
North Georgia, situated in tne East
ern portion of Gordon county, about
eighteen miles east of the Western
& Atlantic It. It. No people of all
North Georgia can boast of a more
beautiful site for a village than the
people of Fairmount. It is sur
rounded by as beautiful landscape as
nature affords in the uoper portion
of the State. It is bounded on the
east by a beautiful range of moun
tains from which, we may at a glance
overlook the little village and itssur
rounding country, which presents to
the eye a scenery of grandeur and
beauty. On the west lies the beau
tiful valley of Selocoa, known
throughout the upper portion of the
State as one of the finest and most
)>roduotivo vaiioya of land in ail
North Georgia. Through this valley
runs a very fine stream of water
from which it has derived its name.
This stream together with the small
er tributaries, which being very nu
merous all up and down the valley I
render it a most excellent watered ;
tract of country. It is hounded on
the North and South by beautiful
landscapes that lie between the gor
geous mountains and the fertile val
ley. The inhabitants of this little
village and throughout the surround
ing country are noted for their hos
pitality, their morality and intelli
gence. They delight to entertain
the ; r neighbors, their acquaintances
and friends, at any and all times;
they do not hesitate to throw wide
open their doors and welcome the
weary traveler to a place at their fire
side, and to a seat at their tables,
which are always supplied with
plenty.
The people of this village are not
so haughty as to attempt to boast of
extreme financial value. Yet while
the inhabitants number only about
one hundred, they claim in public
buildings, &e., three most excellent
stores, a splendid academy and hall,
one of the best in North Georgia,
seveial mechanic shops and one beau
tiful and splendid church. This vil
lage is not surpassed in the morality, j
intelligence and religion of its in
habitants by any in the State. :
Nearly all the people who make up !
the village are members of some
branch of the Christian church.
It two church organiza
tions, both of which seem to be in a
very prosperous and growing condi
tion. Also, an excellent Sabbath
school, which is well conducted, for
the improvement of botli old and
young. There is also here one of the
finest high schools in the upper por
tion of the State, managed by an ex
perienced teacher, who labors dili
gently for the advancement of his
students and the upbuilding of his
school. A first-class debating society
illlU tUCKfOob iiii- 0 n.„4 4. - -
the improvement of the mind may
be found in the little village of Fair
mount.
Among the secret organizations are
the Patrons of Husbandry and Good
Templars, both of which are in
thriving conditions, and doing the
work set apart fur each of them. The
Grange, laboring to promote the in
terests and welfare of the tillers of
the soil, and to them we would send
greeting success to their noble
efforts.
The Good Templars, laboring to
drive intemperance from the little
village and surrounding country, to
them we would exclaim: Onward to
victory.
And while Fa I 'rmount can claim
all the noble advantages that have
been mentioned, it can boast of the
fact that the drunkard is seldom seen
to reel in its streets, and that no grog
shop is allowed to be established
within its bounds. Now, where is
the town or village of no more than
one hundred inhabitants that can say
more than the little village of Fair
mount ?
Who is Olmstead ?"E, V, Johnson
and Others
rTb the Editor of the Express:
I find the following in your paper
of the Ist itstunt:
“A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution nominates C. H. Olin
stead for Governor. Who is Oim
stead ?”
Now. TvTr. Editor, I am not sur
prised that, in this day of small men,
you or any one else should ask, “ \\ ho
is Olmstead?” Such men as Col. C.
H. Olmstead, in these days, are
thrown entirely in the shade by men
with not half the ability or moral
worth, and with not the one thous
andth part of his modesty and want
of self-appreciation.
Then, “Who is Olmstead?” I can
inform you, Mr. Editor, that he is a
pontlomnn and 3- scholar—so recog
nized by all who know him well—
and who, although having as much
ability to make a good Governer as
any of the gentlemen spoken of for
that office, except Gov. H. V. John
son, your favorite, (who, I must
cheerfully admit, would make, as he
has before made, one of our best and
most economical Governors Georgia
ever had) yet Col. Olmstead is as
modest and unpretentious as a girl of
fifteen- And, Mr, Editor, so modest
and retiring is he, and so little does
Col. Olmstead think of such a thing
as being a candidate for Governor or
anything of the kind, knowing him
as I do, and reading “Muscogee’s”
notice of him in the Constitution, I
could blithe amused at thinking hew
the mention of such a thing as being
a candidate would make our friend
“blush,” and how lie would want to
hide (thinking someone was “mak
ing fun” of him) to keep irom being
‘teased” or “annoyed” by any such
i suggestion. Don’t you like ouch a
man, Mr. Editor . i do. *
.But again, “Who is Olmstead?”
As before said, he is not only an ac
complished gentleman, one with tine
sense and first rate judgment, but
previous to the war he resided in Sa
vannah, (lie still resides there) and
was connected with a large coramer
i eial house. Though quite young at j
the time, (he is now about 40 years ,
I of age) he was with Col, Mercer s Ist >
regiment Savannah volunteers, and :
| upon Col. Mercer’s promotion, Col. j
Olmstead became its Colonel, and was
captured at Fort Pulaski, and was
taken to Camp Chase where he re-!
mained a while a prisoner. Upon
■ being exchanged he returned home
I and re-organized his regiment and
went with the western army, lie
was wounded before Atlanta, and, I
| lea.u, during the last six months ot
the war, was in command of Mercer’s
brigade.
Then, “Who js Olmstead?” I’ll
say nothing more, Mi. Editor,except
to tell you that, from my knowledge
of your character, although Colonel
Olmstead is not my choice for Gov
ernor, yet did you and others know
him as I do, you would not only
“like him,” but love him—aye, “love
him much,” as does this
Old Soldier
Atlanta, June Ist, 1876.
Retrenchment and Refoim
Jo the Editor of Ceiartoivn Record:
The frauds, theft and eorrnption
now being exposed at Washington
City by Congressional committees
gives rather a gratifying assurance
that the great question of retrench
ment and reform in public expendi
tures will he made an issue in the
Presidential election. This outlook
in our national affairs must be very
gratifying to the great mass of our
people, who feel that for several years
they have been forced to submit to a
sort of .legal robbery by the tax gath
erer, merely to enable a few office
holders and their friends to roll in
luxury. And while we have the
subject of retrenchment and reform
in national affairs under considera
tion is it not a practical question for
the people of Georgia to consider now
long it will be necessary for them to
submit to the high taxes now im
posed, before they take hold of Pie
pruning knife and lop off a l l extrava
gant and unnecessary expenditures
tor which they are now competed to
provide. I regard such a proceeding
on the part of the people of Georgia
as not only wise hut absolutely essen
tial to their prosperity, and in my
judgment the sooner the people take
tiiis matter in hand and give unmis
takable direction to those who im
pose taxation, the better for them.
The time has come when the Demo
cratic party should make the politi
cians feel and know that their wishes
upon this vital subject must be heard
and respected, and that no candidates
need expect their support at the next
general election for State, district and
county officers, who fails to give un
mistakable evidence of his soundness
upon thesubjectof retrenchment and
reform in public expenditures. The
people have left these matters to
rings and politicians long enough.
Their complaints have sometimes
been met with the unsatisfactory ex
cuse that the interest on the public
debt rendered a reduction of taxes
impossible at the present time, but
hope for a change at an early day.
It is true that we have some heavy
blows struck for retrenchment in the
passage of some little acts reducing
the compensation of tax receiver or
collector here and there, or some lit
tle changes about courts, etc., which
leally amount to nothing more than
the tub to the whale, while matters
of real importance have been given
the go by.
Let the people take the position
which I have indicated, and refuse
to vote for any man forState,district
or county office not nominated by
themselves at a primary election
held for that purpose, and my word
for it, such explaining of positions
has not been heard since the w 7 ar. It
then, who art decidedly of opinion
that there is a large number of offices
higher than tax receiver and collect
or whose salaries would bear a smart
reduction without the least detriment
to the public service. Indeed, I have
no doubt that there would be some
who have heretofore contended that
such a reduction in salaries would
drive competent men from office,
would, after their patriotism had
been thus stirred by the people, give
their consent to serve awhile longer
for less pay, just for the good of the
people. On this plan we should no
doubt find out to a certainty whether,
at this particular time, we need, or
could get along witnout, an Agricul
tural or Bug*bereau,and whether we
could not re-organize our judicial cir
cuits to advantage, and reduce their
number. Let the people demand the
pruning off of every expenditure not
essential to the public interest. The
condition of the people demands it.
Nominations for office will no
doubt be made in some way, ana it
is for the people to decide whether
they prefer their candidate selected :
by conventions composed often of
delegates fixed up in caucus whoso
chief managers are as often interest-;
ed parties, or whether they will se
lect them themselves by primary
election. The first we have tried
with unsatisfactory results. Let us
try the latter for all offices, and I
think the people will be more than
rewarded for their trouble. The
trouble it will give the people is the
only objection I have heard against
this plan of nominating, and I sub
mit, is it more trouble to the people
to attend and vote at a primary elec
tion than to attend a public meeting,
so-called, to appoint delegates to a
convention? Let the executive com
mittees of the Democratic-party of
the State, districts and counties, or
der such elections to be held on the
same <Jay, to nominate candidates
from Governor down, each county
committee appointing managers to
hold the election, and require returns
to be made to the chairman of the
State, district and county executive
committees, who shall announce the
names receiving the highest vote,
On this, or some such plan, the
people can act in
reference to their interests upon
these, to them vital, subjects, and we
confess that we see ho way of suc
cessfully reaching these great ends
but by the direct demand and action
of the people. We hope, and shall
expect, that ifany object to our views,
that they will not fail while objecting
to give us a better plan.
One of the People.
Hot and Sulphurous.
The Gold Hill (Nevada) News May
20th relates this incident * “In one
of the supher minifies near Steam
boat Springs, a number of chinameu
were employed, The mine is situa
ted at the foot of a hill, so that they
converge ot a given point, These
4ire made for ventilation, and are
kept open to permit the heat to es
cape, At the end of these cuts they
have a fence about twenty feet high.
The sulpher begins within seven
feet of the top, and continues in rich
layers all the way down, intermingl
ing with sand and other formations
At this point the heat is very great.
The other day whie working, one of
the Chinamen struck his pick thro’gh
into a fissure, when a column of blue
flume flue up to the distance of thirty
feet, filling the atmosphere with a
villainous stench, and making it so
terribly hot that the Mongolain drop
ping his pick, rushed from the place,
followed by his frightened com pan
j ions, it was some time before they
j could be induced to resume their

Procter Knot on Blaine,
He Will Attend to the Case of the Bully
From Maine.
Special to the Tribuke
Proctor Knott is probably the most
disgusted man in Waihington. He
denounces Blaine in the roundest
terms. He said he had tried for days
and days to hear from Cladwell, but
he could not find him; that he had
telegraphed everywhere, even to
Dally, to lind him but could not.
He did not think the dispatch in
question came from Cladwell, but
that it was one of the tricks of Mr.
Blaine, who had greater facility for
setting up jobs than he had for be
ing an honest man,and he was will
ing to tell Mr. Blaine, so at the point
of a pistol or any other way. He
said Mr. Blaine had gone out of his
way to treat him (Knott) shameful
ly, and he would yet suffer for it. He
had always felt friendly to Mr.
Blaine, but could never forget his
indignity, imd Mr. Blaine would yet
live to regret it. He has thus far
paid little attention to the inquiry,
but he thought he should look after
it himself now. So far as he is con
cerned, politically he would like to
see Mr. Blaine nominated at Cincin
nati, he could be so easily beaten —
much more easier than Bristow and
some of the other candidates. He
thought he could bo able to show
that Mr. Blaine was at the bottom of
the Ciadwell dispatch, and he says
that he told his suspicions to four
discreet members of the House when
the dispatch was first received.
“I’m babbin trouble wid sleep

old darkey at the suburban end of

“Ho ho, I reckons I knows all

“Yo* knows noffin—dat’s what

“Sartin I knows suthin’,” chuckl
ed the other ; “I knows well enoug
that you can’t sleep o’ nights and

Hon, A- H- Stephens-
H. W. B. in Atlanta Times.
We spent last Sunday at Liberty
Hall with Mr. Stephens. It had only
i been about two months since, we had
seen him, as it were, in the very
j “jaws of death,” his household and
friends in painful suspense, and he
himself having scarcely a hope of re
j covery. Had we not been previously
j informed of his gradual improve-
I ment, we would almost have doubted
'the testimony 7 of our own senses
! when, last Sabbath, we beheld him
in full dress smoking his elegant
{ meerschaum, ever and anon wheeling
j his chair across the piazza, and con
i' versing with a vivacity that no one
could have expected who had seen
j him in the scathing ordeal from
which ho has almost miraculously
I emerged. His general health, by
; which we mean his appetite, diges
| tion and freedom from pain—seems
I to us quite as good as it has been at
any time within the past several
years. He could walk now on his
crutches were it not that his leff foot
is afflicted with a sort of paralysis or
rheumatism. This, however, we be
lieve, is only a temporary impedi
ment, and when it passes away, he
Will apraiu be ready to resume the
important position upon the public
ar- aa which his district has so unani
mously assigned him.
Mr. \V. G. Stephens, Sunday morn
ing, read him a paragraph from some
newspaper, which stated that Gen.
Toombs and he were in favor of nom
inating Eaton, of Connecticut, for
President. Said he, “So far as lam
concerned I certainly have no objec
tions f o Eaton. He is a true Jeffer
sonian Democrat, an able exponent
of State rights and Constitutional.
These are the principles to which the
Democratic party should return, and
should make the issue in the coming
fight. A compromised or galvan
ized Democratic candidate is sure to
be defeated. The man who runs
from a dog is apt to be bitten. We
ought to make a stnYight-out fight,
having an uncompioniising Jeffer
sonian Democrat to head our ranks.”
Mr. Stephens’ wonderful recovery
reflects the brightest lustre upon the
already splendid reputation of his
physician, Dr. Steiner, of Augusta.
He say’s himself, that had it not been
for Dr. Steiner he behoves he would
not have lived through his terrible
sufferings. He thinks he would have
taken too much medicine, had not
the Doctor kept him from doing so.
“Of all the physicians I know,”
say-s he, “Dr. Steiner is one of the
most scientific, cautious and conscien
tious.” Dr. Edward W. Alfriend,
who, before the war, was his family
physician, was also of invaluable as
sistance during two weeks of Mr.
Stephens’most critical illness. He
came up on a friendly rather than a
professional visit, but during his stay
he was so assiduous and tender in his
treatment that we are inclined to be
lieve no other physician could have
done more good, if as much, as he
did. Dr. Shield, of Crawfordville,
and Dr. Win. Coe, of Atlanta, both
young men, were with him for sev
eral \veeks, the former during nearly
all of his sickness, and made hourly
reports of his condition to Dr. Stein
er.
The Murrlnw's
A private dispatch was received in
this city yesterday morning, giving
the sad intelligence that Mr. John C.
Hale, a son-in-law of Gov. Brownlovv,
was shot and killed at Hot Springs,
Arkansas, on Saturday. We have
no further particulars than those
given in our regular press dispatches
published this morning. Mr. Hale
was married to Miss Callie Brown
low, who, together with an infant
seven months old, are left to suffer
this sad bereavement. He was.well
known in this city, having attended
as a student at the East Tennessee
University for some time.
His deportment in this communi
ty was such as to commend him to
the favorab'e consideration of his as
sociates, and he has many warm
friends here who will regret to hear
of his untimely end.
He was one of the owners of the
Hot Springs property, which, under
a late decision of the Supreme Court,
reverts back to the United States. It
has been a source of considerable in
come, as well as the cause of a great
deal of litigation, and it was out of
tiiis it seems that the difficulty grew
which cost him his life. Mr. Hale
was a high-toned, honorable gentle
man, and so reputed by all those who
knew him best. He was only about
24 years old, and it looks hard that
one with such bright prospects for
the future should be so cruelly cut
down in the morning of life. The
bereaved widow has our profoundest
sympathy 7 . —Knoxville Chrohicle.
A Plain Statement
The Chronicle & Sentinel well says
“an independent is the meanest sort
of a radical, because a secret foe is
worse than an open enemy.” Very
well said, but we regret to see no al
lusion to “that circulaire” in this op
portune connection. “The people”
would like to hear something upon
both propositions at once.—Constitu
tion.
We cannot believe that the At
lanta Constitution would resort to de
liberate misrepresentation in order to
promote its purposes. We have not
the slightest objection to its opposing
us, and all others whom it may
think proper, in our advocacy of Her
schel V. Johnson for Governor of
Georgia. It has a perfect right to
oppose the candidacy of Herschei V.
Johnson if it sees fit so to do. But
the Constitution has no light to travel
out of the reoord and make insinua
tions which are wholly unwarranted
by the facts. The Constitution must
know that the letter which is giving
it so much uneasiness contains no
reference whatever to an indepen
dent candidacy by Gov. Johnson. If
it does not know this we take great
pleasure now’ in giving it the neces
sary information. The Constitution
may consider any statement that Gov.
Johnson will be or has been requested
to run as an independent candidate a
falsehood manufactured from whole
cloth. We trust our contemporary
will do its opponents simple justice.
They ask no more at its hands.—
Chronicled’ Sentinel.
The nine members of the Turney
family who suddenly discovered that
they were blood relations of the late
A. T. Stewart have filed a petition
in the Surrogated Go,art, at
York, for a hearing in regard to their
I claims on the great estate. The
I Turneys recognize the fact that sim
ple relationship cannot altar the tenor
of the will, but they aver that “undue
influence was exercised over Mr.
Stewart when he wrote his last will,
which is claimed to be entirely differ
ent from the first.” The contestants
have plenty of money to back them,
and they propose to make a long and
severe tight with Mrs. Stewart.
