There are certain classes of people
tv ho make it a rule never to subscribo
for a newspaper, but who aro ihe
very ones to find fault with the
course of the editor. Now, we never
wished any one any harm, but hve
this to say in regard to these tel
lows :
May your egg he rotton at break
fkst, your meat spoil before dinner,
ami you go suppcrlcss to bed.
May your wife be cross, your scr
▼cntgirl prudish, and jour neighbors
lenco high.
May your dreams be varied be
tween the embrace of crooodiles and
tlie acting back step of a mule.
May you have steel filings in your
eyes and be obliged to use chesnut
burs for eye stones.
May the ghost of starving editors
and printer’ devils, gaunt, lean and
hungry haunt you constantly.
May your boots squeak and run
down at the heel, and pinch your
corns terribly.
May your horse be balky,your cow
give sour milk,your children get lousy,
and yonr pigs have the scurvy.
May your creditors never let up on
you, your friends be sent to the in
sane asylum, your enemies prosper.
May yout wife run off with a cir
cus; your business to goruiu.and you
go to Chicago.
Savnnah News: We learn that
memorial services m honor of the
late Rev, E II Myers, the esteemed
]>astor of Trinity Methodist Church,
will be held in that edifice on Sun
day afternoon next. Participation in
this mournful tribuie to the memory
of a good Christian, learned man
and beloved pastor, who was a mar
tyr to sacred duty, will, we under
stand, not be confined to the denom
ination to which he was an able ad
vocate and zealous member, but will
include the clergymen and members
of all the Protestant churches in the
city. The occasion will be one of
deep interest, and will attract a
large attendance of the admirers and
friends of the deceased.
Detroit Free press: An eight-year
old hoy was trotting up 'Woodward
avenue yesterday, when a'snow-hall
struck on the ear and laid him od.
He uttered a few dismal howls and
started off, but a gentleman halted
him and asked:
“Why don't you go over and lick
that boy?”
‘‘l hain’t big urnuff,' ‘ was the re
piiy-
“But won’t you do anything at
all?“
“Not now. I know who he is, and
I’ll fix the hull iamily. His father is
going to run for Congress some time,
and my father will go on the Return
ing Board and count him into the
middle of last week.’’
—We learn from the Home Jour
nal that the Babtist Conference at
Greensboro, bi ■ lecidcd that it is
against the rules of the Babtist Church
to dance.
A correspondent of the World, af
ter reviewing the Presidential ques
tion in all its aspects, says: “Such a
■truggle—when one candidate relies
on his own law books,the partisans
of the other reverse the decision of
the Supreme Court of a sovereign
State by the corporal of the guard
can have but Cne end. In such a
sturggle, essentially ft waiting race,
in which time, patience and far
reaching skill may be safely to work,
their perfe ct work, those who know
best the President-elect know he lias
no superior.”
A gentleman had five daughters
The first married a man by the name
of Poor, the second a Mr. Little, the
third a Mr. Short, the fourth a Mr.
Brown, and the fifth a Mr. Hogg.
At tae wedding ceremony of the lat
ter, the old gentleman said to the
gvests; “I have great pains to educate
my daughters, so that they may * act
well their part in life, and, from their
advantages and improvement, I had
fondly hoped that they would do hon
or to the whole family and now I
find that all my pains, care and ed
ucation have amounted to nothing
more than a Poor, Little, Short,

Tills POLITICAL. CAMPAIGN Of 1876
which include* National, State and county elec
tions, ami which will undoubtedly ho the most
active and hotly contorted of any since tho me
morahle canvass of 18G0 Is now f.iirly opened
The National Democratic Party will this year
make a hold, vigorous, and doubtless successful
struggle for the maintenance and supremacy of
those principles which are vital to the prosperity
of the Republic and essential to the well-beitig
of tho people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida tho campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and the e is
a probability that for the first time since the
war the people of that Radical-ridden State will
elect a Democratic State government. In these
campaigns the people of t lie South .are deeply
interested: and every intelligent citizen, who
has the welfare of his Country and his section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every and tail
of the great work of redemption aud reform lha
is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an
independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounc
ed opinions and fearless in their expression; a
paper that is recognized everywhere as tnc best
daily in the South. Its editorial department is
vigorous, tlmughttul, and jonsistciit, while its
news and local departments are marvels of in
dustry and completeness. Its department of
Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere bairen summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, tiuie-'y, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through tbeso agencies the paper will be
the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent of the political campaign of 187 C.

The it®aa Yteta Assm s
AS establish®,! in llie town of Buena Vista, eouniy’of Marion, State of Georgia, on Friday morning, September
241 h 1875, by- riie present editor ami proprietor, as a Democrat-c weekly newspaper. From its ioilial issue,
it lihh been devpteil sedulously to*ihe progress, improvement and general good of the section in which it is
* published. Its mission lias been to uphold and incubaie ’he gieat principles of morality and virtue, encour
kri'go enterprise and industry among the people, advance the agricultural interests of its section, and advocate
the noble and vital principles of' remoerncy. It has endeavored lo promote whatever was good, whatever was enter,
prising, whatever was elevating, whatever Was eltSobling. whatever was civilizing, whatever was vitally important, in
politics, agriculture,Otiteralure, society and local alfairs. Its usefulness has been circumscribed by a meagre patronago
and a distrust of its success. Owing to the want of means, ll.claims of its proprietor to make it a first -e.Uss journal im
sire, typographical excellence, editorial completeness and exto it of influence, have been ~aitially unsuccessful, lie ha*
however an abiding faith in the realization of his hopes and the acepinplishni-nt of his aims, and ha? girded his loins,
anew for the struggle fo,- the laudable cause in which he ha* enlisted. He appeals tothe public-spirited citizen iof Marion,
Chattahoochee, Itllbot, Taylor, Schley, Sumter, Webster, Stewart andJMuscogee counties to assist him by subscriptions
and adyeilisciuents, in his t-florU to build up a substan ial ami creditable newspaper in this section, which has been so
much in need ol an enterprise ot i liis character. However hum’.do a country newspaper may be, it is of incalnlable value
to its section, in the dissemination of knowledge and sound principles, stimulation of progress and industry and promo
tion of virtue and morality, if conducted on rile side of t ight and moral .integrity. Then, fellow-citizens, extendjo the
Argus the aid asked, and in return the editor pledges himself t,<> use Ids utmost energy, time and labor to make it a ue
fttl, progressive, well informed, newsy, readible. Democratic Fainiy N-w-puper. Should he fail to obtain a sufficient
patronag ■ to justify him in publishing a very LARGE paper, he will do his “best'’ t> mate it a very GOOD paper—sup
plying in quality what it may lack in quantity.
ABVERTISINGICOPIES.

subscriptions and advertisements for the same. This is not intended as a specimen of the regnl :r issue *f
the Argus, but rather as an advertisement of what it will be. On the first Wednesday in February next
we will enlarge this journal to a TW ENTV-EIGHT COLUMNS and greatly enhance its value in the qual
ity and quantity of its reading matter. The Literary Department will contain the best Selections „f _
objectionable Stories, Biographical Incidents, Sketches, I'oems, Criticisms, Humorous Pieces, Children 3
Stories, &c; tire Agricultural and Household Departments will be complete each week and ot great i im
