This will afford every young man in the

The only regret we have in Hie matter is
that we have not offices enough to supply
all who want them. In this case, many
may think they are called, but only one
will be chosen. It will, therefore, be best
for the balance of the candidates to get
all the fun they can out of the race. In
fact, the more fuu they have, the better
it will be for them, We suggest, conse¬
quently, that we have no war records or
family quarrels in this campaign. Let it
be one strictly of merit aud fun,
Mexico is reputed to have about 11,000 >
000 of people, and could probably main¬
tain an army of 300,000 men in the field,
in case of an invasion. Texas has only
about 2,000,000 of inhabitants, but is ful¬
ly able to invade and conquer the “greas¬
er” republic. A large proportion of the
population of Mexico is a low race of
half-breed Indians, denominated as greas¬
ers ; and while the soldier is strictly a
manufactured article, it would require an
immense amount of rigid discipline to
make the greaser a first class soldier.—
However, there will be no war with Mex¬
ico this time. S’mother time,
The best way to lay by sweet potatoes is
to first turn the vines in eyery alternate
row, and then plow them deeply with a
turning plow, throwing the dirt well up to
tho vines. When you have thus gone over
thepatch turn the vines over the rows plow
ed and then plow the alternate rows with
the same sort ofturning plow, throwing the
dirt well up to the other side of the roots
of the vines. When this is done, go over
the patch and turn the vines equally and
naturally on each 6ide of the row, and the
work is finished. It is unnecessary to
hoe|them, if the plowing has been well
done. In this way a nice ridge of loose
dirt is thrown up to the roots of the vines,
and tho potatoes will be very large and
fine.
There are two sides to all questions,
and the Mexicans have their side to the
Editor Cutting affair. They give an intel¬
ligent, conservative and sensible view of
the matter. There is no brag nor bluster
about it; but they give a very concise and
plausible version of the whole affair. If
their version of the trouble Is correct, we
question the propriety of our government
even demanding his release, or shielding
him from punishment, much less going
to war about him. We have no doubt
he richly deserves American punishment. Still, and he
claims to be an citizen, for
that reason and no other, the case ought
to be investigated.

Hon. W. L. Peek Nominated,
The convention of the *7th senatorial district

following delegates were present:
Clarke—W. B. Pruitt.
Oconee—J. N. Sheats and A. II, Jackson.

J. E. Nunnally.
Newton— J. E. McConnell and J. W. Swords,
Rockdale—J. C. Barton, M. D. Irwin, R. H.
Cannon and Judge G. W. Gleaton.
The convention was permanently organized
by making Col. J. C. Barton chairman, and W,
B. Pruitt secretary.
Mr. J. E. Nunnally, of Walton, put the name
of Hon. W. L. Peek in nomination for senator,
which was seconded by Mr. W. B. Pruitt, of
Clarke, and Mr. A. H. Jackson, of Oconee.
On motion of Mr. J. II. Felker, of Walton,
the nomination of Mr. Peek was made by accla¬
mation.
A new district executive committee was then
selected. The following is a list of the com¬
mittee :
Clarke—C. G. Talmage.
Oconee—R, M. Jackson.
Walton—G. C. Selman and J. M. Gresham.
Newton—J. P. Simms,
Rockdale—D. N. Hudson.
On motion, CoL J. H. Felker, Capt. J. E.

pointed a committee to notify Hon. W. L.
Peek, of his nomination.
On motion, Col. G. C. Selman was requested

but harmonious session.
Somothing about Mexico,
A gentleman who has traveled exten¬
sively in Mexico, informs the Star that a
war with our neighboring republic would
be no small affair. He says it could hard¬
ly be terminated in less than four years.
They have a larger standing army than
the United States. The military spirit of
the people is indomitable, and is thor¬
oughly ripe for war. They are better pre¬
pared for self-defense than ever before.—
The people are brave and dashing, and
their endurance is greater than that of
the Americans, The country is mountain¬
ous, and an army of defense would be al¬
most impregnable in her numerous moun¬
tain fastnesses.
The Mexican army is equipped with
the finest artillery in the world, but the
old army musket is still used by the in¬
fantry. These, however, can soon be
replaced with the lastest improved fire
arms, which would make the Mexican
army almost invincible in her mountain
passes. The population is about 11,090.
006, mul the country is inexhaustible in
war materials. Welle they could not
hold out successfully against the United
States in the end, Mexico would prove a
wary foe to subdue, A guerrilla war
could be maintained successfully by them
for an indefinite »nm>>er of years.

Death of Hon, Samuel J. Tilden,
Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, of New York,
died ut (iraystone, his summer residence
on the Hudson river, on Wednesday
morning, August 4, 188(1. after a brief Ill¬
ness of inflammation of the stomach.—
His death was wholly unexpected, and
produced a profound sansation through¬
out the entile country.
Mr. Tilden was born in the town of New
Lebanon, Columbia county, N. Y„ oil the
9th of February, 1814 He was therefore
72 years old on the 9th of last February.
He has fiiled many positions ofhonor and
public trust, and was elected president of
United States in 1876, but was defrauded
of the office by the worst sort of political
trickery and dishonesty.
He was one of the ablest statesmen of
the age, and his letter to the Cincinnati
convention in 1880, declining the use of
his name before that body for a re-nomi¬
nation for the presidency, has never been
excelled in elegant diction or the high
tone and unselfish character of its patriot¬
ic sentiment. Mr. Tilden ought to have
been nominated by that convention, and
tiie national democratic party defeated
itself when it failed to give it to hitn by ac¬
clamation.
As a private citizen or public servant,
he honored every station, and gave the
lustre of his honest, pure, upright, incur
rnptible name to his conntry.
The nation mourns the death of its in¬
comparable statesman.
Our female College.
The board of trustees of the Georgia Methi.
dist Female College met in Covington, last week,
and elected Rev. John T. McLaughlin, of Ta 1 .
botton, president of the college,
Mr. McLaughlin is a native of our county,
and has been engaged in teaching for the past
twenty years at Talbotton, which is certainly a
sufficient guarantee of his ability and efficiency
as a teacher. We congratulate the friends ot
the college upon having secured the services of a
teacher who comes so highly recommended.
Mr, Henry C. Brannan, a train hand on
the Georgia railroad, was killed on Mon¬
day morning, near Lithonia. He fell
from the train, and nine ears passed over
his body, mangling it terribly. He was a
son of the late Joint Brannan, of Rut¬
ledge, and was 22 years old.

to find a home among you, and link my for¬
tune with yours. Well known to the older
citizens, I am still a stranger to many of
you; but I hope to know you better in the

I shall direct my undivided efforts to tho

your hearty co-operation, and 1 shall cer¬
tainly try to make it a success; withhold
all assistance, and wait passively for me to
elimb the hill before you put a shonider to
the wheel, and I must inevitably fail.
I see no reason why we may not have a
flourishing school. You have the means,
the pupils, the buildings, and the best loca¬
tion in Georgia. I have secured tho servi¬
ces of your favorite teachers; now give me
your undivided local patronage, and I can
confidently hope to fill your boarding hous¬
es with pupils from tho surrounding coun¬
ties,
Will you sustain me ? If not, why not ?
Respectfully,

Obituary.
Mrs. G. W. Edwards, nee Miss Mildred E.
Pennington, died at her home at Willow- Mills,
Newton county, August 4, 1886, afler an illness
of about two weeks.
Mrs. Edwards was reared by pious parents.—
She joined the Methodist church, and was a con¬
sistent member until her death. Though she
left no special dying testimony, her life was that
of a true Christian from her childhood until her
death, and many are the times when her pure
and loving voice was heard in giving forth loud
praises to the Great I Am.
She was a true and faithful wife, a kind and
loving mother, and a gentle anil affectionate sis¬
ter. fn all the social relations of life she illus¬
trated the true and noble woman.
She had entered into her 47th year when the
cruel monster death approached her in the form
of typhoid fever, and clutched her in his awful
grasp.
She leaves a husband and seven children, be¬
sides a numerous kindred, who deeply mourn
her death. 1 lappy is the meeting in paradise
with Elizabeth and her parents. The family is
now being made up in heaven. Let us prepare
to join them, where we can shout and sing
God's praise with her in that glorious land.
