to call attention editorially to the

It is a worthy act on his part to es
chew polities in our county affairs,
and he deserves the commendation,
of every white man in the county.
Political preachers, White or colored,
are a curse to every community, and
among the colored people, there are
very few preachers who are not pol
iticians. He says about five white
men have applied to him for his in

There was some interest manifest

Board relative to Mount Tabor
school, about which there is some
contention.
Mr. J. H. Miller and Rev. E. 11.
Briggs, were claimants o' the school.
Mr. Miller was -u de-
sired, it was claimed. : j a large ma
jority of the patrons. Mr. Biiggs

AVe wtTo pleased to meet last
week, iu our sanctum, Mr. AY. J.
Matthews, ofCussetts, wlro Was in
our town ob a brief visit.
C’apt. Persons and Maj. A. T.
Candler. of Talbot county, spent
ihe 4 ( h of July in our beautiful iittio
village, looking after die Gubernato
rial interests of Hon. Thomas Harde
man, Jr. It is rumored that strong
efforts Were made to procure tlreir
enlistment in the Colquitt brigade,
and that they were almost persuaded.
We cannot say how true it is, 1) it
when thi-y departed they did not
seem to be so full of Hardeman
enthusiasm-. The log rolling of
outsiders helped Colquitt.
Mrs. Sarah yl. Price of Ameri
cus, has been spending several
days in our town, to the gratifica
tion of her many friends here. She
will returnjiome tc-morrow-. May
she renew her visit at an early
day.
Large ESeel.
On the 4.ih ol Jn y. Mr. P. B. S:o
--ry, of this COUnty, brought to )ur
sanctum, a mammoth red beet,
grown in his garden, which weighed
seven and a half pounds, without the
top. It was larger than any we have
yet seen mentioned in the newspa
pers, for fids year. It was planted
about the first of March.
Mr. -Warren Belle brought
a beet co Dr. Wisdom, in June last,
which approximated this one in size
anu weight, but we have mislaid the
exact figures.

Mr. Editor:
it i-t not known whether Hon. E.
W. Miller, our late Representative,
desires to he returned to the position
which ho so ably filled. We would
be glad to hear irom the Honorable
gentleman, through your va’liable
paper. We will not now review his
ctfficial acts, but simply undertake to
say he was prompt and full ot energy.
He is known to be a fine financier
and might, with the experience al
ready had, prove in the Legislature
one of the people’s most approved
friends. Will the Major let us hear
from him ?

“Calvl>” Asks after “Fttriiiei”s
Daughter.**
Mr, Editor :
I have heretofore remained an un
concerned observer of the great liter-
ary strife which Incognito’s humble
effort has so unwittingly called forth.
Farmer’s epistle has made a strong
er impression upon my mind than the
combined host of the mere pretend
ing writers.
I caro naught for the errors of
meek Incognito, the wonderful wis
dom of presumptions Pincvillc, the
christain charity of beloved Buena
Vista, the grammatical knowledge
of brave Union, the well meaning re
bukes of honest Tazewell, or the
rough hewn remarks of Joe Tarbox,
but I must confess that lam much
interested in one of Farmer's posses
sions, his educated daughter.
1 believe he is a noble mind'd
man, who has toiled for many years,
striving to obtain for hi3 children
that wealth which is necessary to
purchase for them respectable part
ners through the jc nicy of life.
I will feel under many obligations
to you if you will inform me'Concern
ing the amount of property with
which he will endow his daughter at
her marriage.
Please tell me also concerning the
daughter. Is she a rosy checked
black eyed maiden, who rises with
the birds, milks the cows, churns the
butler, feeds the chickens, adorns
homo with her flowers and little
works of womanly art and renders
its inmates happy by her blight in
tellect am' genial temper? Or is she
a fur haired maiden whose whole
time is occupied in perusing.the lat
est novels, dressing becomingly and
uttouding to the calls of society?
I am not particular however about
the habits and looks of the girl. 11
her fa her gives plenty of money I
will make a devoted husband.
I feel perfectly coutident that I
can marry her iflchosc; for what
country girl is not proud to be the
chosen bride of a town gentleman,
though he does borrow money with
which to purchase the license and
wedding suit, and lives at her fa
ther’s until the kind old gentleman
gives him a place of his own.
Answer my inquiries immediately,
for I must marry before my board
bill is due. As ever, Yours,
Caleb.

Tomatoes.
Dr. F. L. Wi-dom presonlcd our
‘‘better halt” with a basket of line
vegetables last week, among which
was a bunch ot six tomatoes, weigh
ing three and a half pounds. They
were as largo as horse apples and
depended from one stem. We do
not know that we ever saw liner
specimens of this plant.
Marion county has done well this
year, so for, in producing superior
specimens. She has raise a. turnip
weighing ten pounds, a beet weigh

of six toma'oes weighing three
pounds ami a half, a bunch of oats
measuring six and a half feet in
