Bright eyes, a good dinner, and shades will go far to make a man feel like he was in the garden of Eden. We were too crowded last week to call attention editorially to the card'to “Candidates Soliciting the Colored Vote,” published by Rev. W. IT. Harris, the colored preacher, who has charge of the colored Buena Vista Circuit, of the A. M,E. Church. 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 -11 uenee. We would take great pleas ure In publishing their names. County Notion! Tcaclicrs.

The County School Commissioner was ordered to report to the State School Commissioner that arrange ments wore complete for public schools throughout the county, for the year. There was some interest manifest ed in the meeting of the Board at that time occasioned by the expect ed decision of the Commissioner and 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 was sustained, it was claimed, by a minority, who said Air. Aliller could not teach the branch which several children would pursue while Mr. Brigg could.

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.

WHITTEN FOR TUB EVEN A VI6TA AROVS. “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. Written for tUe /iueua Vista Argus. Soil Icy Delegates. Mr. Editor : Schley county sends Hon. C.

A. S. — —AA r o are Very sorry indeed to learn that one of our most prominent and influential citizens, Judge M. L. Bivins, is permanently paralized.

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.

She has raise a. turnip weighing ten pounds, a beet weigh ing seven and a half pounds, a bunch of six toma'oes weighing three pounds ami a half, a bunch of oats measuring six and a half feet in heifdit, and another measuring seven anil a half.
