THE EDITOR'S TRIP,
Two Week's ago wo reach oil home,
after a week’s trip to Cuthbert,
Smithville, Albany, Ainerictis, Ma
con. Columbus and West Point. The
matter is rather old now, as we could
not get it in sootier, but, as we are
anxious to make some mention in re
gard to ii, we will occupy the space
unittqMy allotted t<> liiadory maker.
CHOPS,
The crops on our roiue had suffer
cd greatly from the drought aud the
cotton lie ids were while with the flee
cy staple—as lunch cotton', being
open on 'die 7th of So, tember as Ib
ordinarily on Uic Ist ot October.
Immense crops of corn have been
made everywhere. The people on
this account will be in a better linan
cial condo ion next year than they
have been t any time since the war.
Sugar-cane, peas ami potatots had
also suffered extremely trom the
drought. Crops in Dougheny ap
pear to have been injured more than
any other county on oar route.
CUTHBERT.
Cuthbert is a beautiful little cry,
with neat streets, neat dwellings aud
neat flower-gardens, ami celebrated
as the location of Andrew Female
College. Ttie bus ino .s portion oi the
city Las be in marred by fires, and
the burned buildings have not I ecu
replaced. Scarcely any improve
ments have been made sinco our vis
it last winter. Business was reviv
ing, but still dull. This is one of the
healthiest eitits in South West Gem
gin.
BMPrItVU.T.E
holds it r '\vn but does not improve
any. The pincipal a'.taaction to us
in this town is the well known, wel
kept, well supplied, com ortab c Me
Alee House, which refreshes and
strengthens the weary traveler in a
manner that is delightful. Every
variety of palatable h.od of the town
and county is to be found on the Mc-
Afee table three times a day. We
have never eaten a more desirable
meal than that wc always find at this
hotel. Fatties traveling up and down
tho South Western railroad stop at
this house to get supper and break
fast, by the new schedule. Men's
50cts.
ALBANY
is a busy, thriving c'.tv, doing a
heavy wholesale and retail trade in
South Georgia anil Florida. We did
not notice any new buildings of im
portance. Mr. T. Pattisou, the lead
ing founder iu South Western Geor
gia has enlarged his foundry build
ings and otherwise improved his
works in a handsome manner. We
were glad to find that our old friends
Messrs. L. E. & H. E Welch, Welch
& Mitchell and Kemp & Mock are
holding their own and increasing
their already extensive businesses. On
the evening of our departure a sc
vere thunder and rain storm swept
over this city, deluging the country
and splitting ihe air with the loudest
peals of t hunder. At the Depot Mr.
M. G. Scroggins and his little son
were both struck by lightning. They
lccovered. The engine house was
also struck at the same time aud set
on fire —but was extinguished.
BUENA. VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA., SEPTEMBER 29, 1976,
.1M Kit [CI S
appears to lie moving on steadily,
having bridged the dull chasm of
summer, and seems confident of do -
!ng a good business this fall. While
we were there, cotton came in tap
idly and farmers Were meeting their
obligations aind ahead of time. If
Americas does not advertise in the
vicinity of Marion more than she has
done, most of the cotton in the coun
ty will go to Columbus. We went
through the noWfirc proof warehouse
of Mcssis.
TOOLE* McOaBRAH.
It is a spacious, convenient and ab
solutely fire proof warehouse, large
enough to accommodate all the cot
ton in Marion county, that goes to
Americas, and wc hope tint Messrs.
Toole & McGarrah will get a liberal
share of it. They are polite, accom
modating, liberal gentlemen and do.
serve the patronage they solicit of
our people. They have during the
past summer made very liberal ad
vances to farmers and should be re
wai dcii.
The popular hotel of Americas is
the French House, kept by Mr. Ea
son, who 13 indefatigable in his atten
tion on giicSts and proVi 1 ng for tliei? -
wants and pleasures. Everythi; rat
the French House is cosy and com
fortable, nothing being omitted that
would gratify the taste ot the travel
er and administer to his comfort.
This House is the place for the -‘wool
hat” boys of Marion to stop when
they go to Americas.
No perceptible change is noticea
ble in the city of
MACON.
Business appears to be somewhat dull
lor the season—the country mer
chants not having yet begun to pur
chase their fall slocks of goods.
While in Macon, we stopped at the
chi:at hotel of Georgia and the |
SOUTH.
Known as the Brown House, and
kept by those princes of Georgia ho
t( 1 men, Messrs. E. E. Brown & Son.
Tins is the hotel ot the elite and re
spectability of the State who visit
Macon, For solid comfort in ac
commodations, splendid fare >md el
egance of iuruiture and appearance,
it has no superior in the South. It
deserves the extended and handsome
reiHitatiou it has achieved. Having
been built up by the patronage of
Southern gentlemen of ante -helium
times, many of whom became a sac
rifice to the Lost Cause ou the tented
field, it is a pleasure to enter its por
tals and consider that, this worthy
institution was reared by the patron
age of noble men. Its rates arc as
reasonable as could be desired —7acts
a meal, aud Tacts for a room. No
hotel iu the South with the fame and
prestige of this house, containing a
it does all facilities for comfort and
fashionable good living, accommo
dates guests at cheaper rates. When
you go to Macon, be sure to stop.
Col. E. E. Brown & Son, besides be
ing perfect gentlemen, are model
hotel managers, having had many
years experience, and are thorough
ly identified with Georgia and the
interests of her people.
While in the city we examined the
mammoth stock of the great Whole
sale dry-goods dealers
MESSRS. S. T. COLEMAN & CO.,
whose lloors were piled with the
finest and cheapest fabrics of the
land. Long rows of e ogant prints,
woolen goods, iaciorys e oth, bleach
ing®, shirtings, sheetings, osnaburgs,
ready made clothing, ladies’ goods,
&c., &c., were to be seen and admir
ed. Any quantity of boots and shoes.
i t every stylo and variety, occupied
a large space of the extensive cstal>
! lishnu iib besides these we saw
large lofs of fancy goods, blacking,
perfumes and toilet articles, They
also have a complete line of standard
school books and stationeries. They
do not sell at r< toil at all, and offer
merchants as good bargains, as they
can get anywhere in the South. Ii
will lie to the advantages of our mer
chants to buy of them.
The exteas v ■ shoe house of
MESSRS, MIX & KJUTLAND:
contains a mammoth stock of boots
and shoos of all kind, colors, style,
qualities and prices. Hoot and shoe
findings of all varieties arc nlso on
hand. These gentlemen are honest
and straightforward in all their deal
ings and can sell as cheap as any
honest; house in the South. Their
goods are just as represented and all
who buy of them ouce will become reg
ular patrons. Wc have known them
for several years and cheerfully and
gladly recommend their house to the
patronage of our people.
SINfILETON, HUNT * COMPANY,
next claimed our attention. We
found them all busy as bees waiting
on customers and shipping. They
do a very large business which they
have secured simply by the merit of
their goods and by iheir polite, lib.
oral, honest, straightforwarded tran
sactions. They deal in boots, shoes
and hats ot the latest styles and fash
ions. The merchants ofMai ion coun
ty have already dealt with this house
and know that it is reliable. A con
tinuance of patronage is the best way
to acknowledge their worth.
Wo called on the Messrs. Findlay
at their very large iron works and
examined tlicit' new

We were pleased to meet in Macon
our former townsman and pastor
Rev. 1). 11 McWilliams, who is with
Messrs. Burke & Cos. We spent a
very pleasant evening with our spicy,
correspondent - ‘J. W. ll.'
delegates.
We left Macon for We.-t Poiut via
Columbus. At Genova we met the
M;uion and Talbot delegates for tlie
Congressional Convention. With
tiles entertaining friends to accom
pany us, our way was made quite
picasiiut to West Point. At Colum
bus wo were joined by Capt. JL nry
Persons, ot l’aibot, (one ot our can
didates for Congress,) and Col. Pott,
ot probably one of the
best conversationalists of the day.
Wo arrived at West Point a day be
fore the assembling of 'he Conven
tion, for the purpose of pushing the
claims of ottr candidates; but, as the
Talbot, and Marion delegations wciv
the only ones present during the day,
[lushing against the pavement iu
front of the Chattahoochee Hotel,
without Heels, was about all ihe
push tig that was done.
The evening trains, however,
brought us plenty ot delegate materi
al to work on, but our labors remind
ed us forcibly ot the fable of the
piper ktiawing a file —only wc did
not (tel that we w. re like piper, in
any lvspeot save that one. We were
pleased to meet Col. Abrams, Capt.
Evans, Col. Mooty, Col. Cox, and sev
oral others, of Troup. lion. W, J
lievill, of the Meriwether Vindicator
Mr. Henry K. Harris, Jr., of Meri

NUMBER 1.

Hon. T. W. Grimes, ot Muscogee,
and Capt. Jake Blount, of Harris.
Wo had the pleasure of an acquain
t nice with other delegates Somh of
the mountains, but a treacherous
memory has permitted their names
to escape ns for the moment.
THE NOMINATION.
After a tedious day’s woik in the
Convention and a nhthi’s session (the
night's session lasting until nearly
12 o’clock p m.), and the casting o
12ti ballots, Hon. Henry R. Harr.s,
the’present efficient and popular in
cumbent, was nominated by accla
mation, in tiio wildest enthusiasm
Col. Willis, of Talbot, Judge Butt,
of Marion, Maj. Mos.s and Mr. Levi,
of Columbus, made stirring and pa
triotic speeches.
The candidates were Hon. Henry
It. Harris, Col. B. A Thornton, Capt.
Henry Persons, and lion. B. B.
Hinton. Harris’ real strengdi was
18 4 5; Thornton's 15 1-5; Hinton’s
15 1-5; Persons 19 1-5. Harris at
one time got 24 votes, and llintou at
one time got 18.
Most of the delegates stopped at
the Chattahoochee Hotel, where ex
cellent fare was served to guests.
EAIFOI'P HOUSE.
Leaving West Point, returned
to Columbus, and we went en manse
to the popular Ilailord House, where
a sumptuous dinner awaited us. We
can always get something good to
eat. at the Raiford and nice, clean
comfortable beds. The Raiford
House is presided overlay the charm
big and accomplished daughter of
Capt. Raiford, Miss Lucy Raiford,
to whose care and attention much of
the success of the hotel is attributa
ble. \
COLUMBUS .
Is in a prosperous condition. Ilcni
merchants arc busy and her lactoriesjj
arc removing orders as fast as they j
can fill them. New industries are
springing up here constantly and
the the people have no cause lor com
plaint. Work on the Eagle &
Pham x’s new Factory is going on
rapidly. When completed it will be
an imposing structure.
From tlie Chicago Tones Editorial.
Viic Campaign in OSjio.
The political situation in Ohio is
rather novei. At first sight Repub
icans and Democrats made no doubt
that Hayes would give stimulus to
the vote, and that it would give a
majority for his cause in October and
November. On looking over the
ground the fallacy of this concession
is apparent. In 1875, on the fullest
vote ever polled, Hayes was elected
by but 5,544 majority—the total rote
standing at the enormous figures
590,090. This was more tnan 00,000
larger than any vote ever polled. To
gain Ids victory, Haves had tlic help
of
ALL THE GERMANS,
but few of whom support him now.
Ho also had the support of hard mo
ney Democrats and all the Liberal
Republicans. There is, therefore,
no such margin for him to calculate
on as in Maine, where, no matter
how much the gain ou the part of the
Democrats, unless a revolution, the
Republican majority is
SUFFICIENT TO BLOCK IT.
Tho Ohio Republicans have not shar
ed the general delusion about tho
State. The contest waged there is
leas noisy but more intense than in
Indiana, and the Hayes papers are
duiug some of the most amusing so*
mersuulting ever seou in politics. In
deed, the whole business ot partisan
ship of the vile kind seems to have
gone by common consent into tho
hands of
THE GRANT PRESSES,
the supporters of Tilden acting liko
men so assured of their cause that
they can afford unlimited good na
t re. This has told incalculably in
Ohio, and the result is petfectly clear,
us any unprejudiced looker-on may
attest. Hayes will, from present
appearances, not only be beaten in
Ohio, but beaten by 20,000 votes.

One pound of green copperas <.ll-:-

is nothing so nice to cleanse as sim

der the bed in anything that will hold

and wherever there are offensive pu

Hayes a, 4 an Orator. —There is o tfi
thiDg that seems to mark Governor llnyes
as nu appropriate successor to the great
man who now occupies the Presidential
chair and calls it “my place.’ 1. It is the
very striking resemblance of his oratory
to liiat of the President. When some
oid soldiers called upon him a few days
ago, the Governor got up and held them
spell-bound with the following burst of
eloquence:
“Comrades and veieians, you called to
see me because 1 am Governor of the
Slate where your home is, and becatte I
served in the war. Beyond the idea
suggested in those facts I can not, must
not, go. No citizen can look upon this
company and remember what it has
done without very strong emotion. I
bid you welcome here to this room
where the walls are covered with the
portraits of my predecessors, except the
last one. llis portrait is not quite read
yor it would have been here. Let n e
take you by the hand.”
Mr. Tilden to be Heard From.
—Gov. Tiklen, it is stated, is pre
paring a statement, which will ap
pear at an early day, in refutation
of the charges of perjury now be
ing indulged in by Republican pa
pers in connection with his income
returns. It is stated that it was
Gov. Tilden’s intention to meet the
charges at the start, but was dis
suaded by certain friends who re
garded the charges as unworthy of
notice.
We learn from the Journal, that the
money order department of ttie Hamil
ton poetotiiee will he dispensed with a'-
tor the 30th inst, because the business
does not authoiizo it.
