Our reepectell ■ cunlfmporary,
the, Port Valley Mirjor, says
among,other crisp tilings, iti oriti-.
zisitig'our article on Taylor Coun
ty Mo&ls of last week, that he
knew moYe ’Until!‘tho people' of
Taylor county than we do, and
what is more, than we ever will
1tn6sr!' We have flot'lfeeti a citi
zen of this county but a few
months it is true, but we wore
raised in the adjoining cyunty of
Talbot, and there is no groat dif
ference between the people of this,
(Taylor) county and the other
counties of Georgia, and to know
the people of one county, is to
know them in all, so lar ns intel
ligence,integrity and virtue is con-,
cerned. We do not hold this rule
to bo infallible, hilt for nil prac
tical purposes it is correct'. "Now
we shall not call on our brother to
prove anything, hut we think Vie
is mistaken in his estimate of the
average Grand .furors of Taylor,
and we also think the people of
Reynolds District, will compare
favorably with any in Georgia,
mon-ally,intellectually or socially.
