Mr* Editor t “While gliding
down the strewn of life,” we certainly
expect to come in contact with “rough
waves.” Will say, for the gratifica
tion of those who arc so very consider
ate of divine injunctions,that we would
feel more inclined to “press zealously
forward,” did we not consider it un
just for mHsquerade armies to rise up
ami display the animal instincts of
their nature, by “croas-firing” at us
until booming can(n)onz are heard.
We shall not let either passion or de
traction set our pulse to throbbing;
rather we will quietly gather the grains
of valuable suggestions in each aud add
them to our sheaf of self-improvement.
’Tis pleasant to know that some are
willing to plaoe proper constructions
on our pieces. Can truthfully say, we
“would if we could,” elevate and en
courage man-kind. To this, we think
nature justly owes her loveliest charm.
Having no desire to retard the wished-
for era of brotherly-kindness and good
will, we would not, intentionally write
in such a manner as to call forth evil
passions, or, provoke a reply. Tb<
Southern gentlemen have ever
sbowu gentle courtesy to the ladiea t
aud uo sensible, modest wouiau would
have them think for a moment, that
she looked upon them as “atomical
automutous." Gifted, proud-spirit
ed, pure-minded men, such as would
rally to the rescue of the weak,”
should be highly valued. As free agents
they have the privilege to do earnest
ly, faithfully and intelligently, the work
assigned them by their Creator.
As probationers here, they are train
ing for another world. God’s blessings
like so many angels accompany them
along life’s way; true, they meet with
disappointments, difficulties, diseases,
stc., but God invites, Christ intercedes
and the Holy Ghost helps their infirmi
ty. The tendorest ties which hind
them to earth, should endeavor to
lighten the pressure of their cures and
trials by love and sympathy, sweet and
Heavy Rains.—The recent heavy
rains which occurred last week, have
hern the cause of much damage to land
and properohroughout the couuty,and
our farmers.have been much delayed
in the cultivation of their crops.
This Fruit (Jr'op in this Section.
—During the lust few days we
have made dilligeut inquiry from
all parts of the county as to the
amount of damage done to the fruit
crop of this section bv the recent
cold spell, and find that there will
not be more than one-third of a
crop,and 10 some pails of the coun
ty there will be an entire failure.
The Duff Green House.
We would call the attention of our
readers, especially those who desire to
spend the summer from home, to tlm
advertisement of this most popular and
praise-worth hotel, located at Dalton,
Ga. It was our good pleusure about
one year ago to visit this beautiful lit
tle city, situated in the lofty bills of
North Georgia, and partake of the hos-
pilalities of this magnificent hotil, and
to enjoy the delightful breeze which
there alone can be found. We would
therefore recommend Dalton to be one
of the most healthy places iu the State,
and this hotel from personal experi
ence, to be equal if not superior t-
anv we have ever visited.
Guano Floater.
The recent heavy rainR, doubtless
has to a certain extent, damaged the ef
fect of Guano already put out, a small
amount in addition to that already
used will prove a paying investment.
I have a few tons of Patapsco, Stone,
and Americus Guano left on hand.
These Guanos have been tested and
you’ll do well to secure some, before
they are all sold.

Sunday School Picnic.—We are
requested to state that the colored
Sabbath schools of Butler will cele
brate the day of their unnual picnic on
Saturday the 3rd of May, at McClen

been arranged for the day will doubt
less be quite interesting. The citizens

A suggestion was receutly made
in the Buena Vista Argus that
Gen. Phil Cook should bo the next
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Georgia, and that Col Hudson,
of Schley county, be the Detuorat*
ic candidate for Congress in this
District in 1880. The Lumpkin
Independent, which has for many
years been a strong advocate of
Gen. Cook, replied to the sugges
tion as follows:
tfhis i3 not likely, and the hint
comes from some one, doubtless,
who wants to see some particular
friend take Gon. Cook’s position
as Congressman fur this District.
Phil. Cook makes a capital Con

Governor.

Every function is deranged, everv
