Local Hits and Misses. The crops are fi ,,e ant * f ,ue farmers happy Have you visited the Piedmont Chau tauqua ? Politics is beginning to warm up a lit¬ tle in this section. When a man gets to be idle, he soon ceases to be an idol. Only two months from now until our euperior court convenes. The man who saves plenty of hay can always have nice fat stock. The '‘Free Press” of Washington is .purely and soundly democratic. Even the Asiatic cholera has attacked the Harrison voters in Pittsburg. But very few home raised watermel ons havebeen hrougbt to this market. •••••• The reunion of the 42d Ga. regiment at Monroe, last Friday, was a successful affair. The common hog is now a very un¬ common thing, in this part of the moral vineyard. The freight track of the street railroad to the rear of the Star building is now being built. Oxford is making her best exer’ion to get the street railroad extended to that place this summer, The Butts County Argus has declared •‘the small boy and pop gun a nuisance.’’ Guess the editor has been hit Mr.--Mitcham has the thankp of the Star for a fine four pound beet. It heat all the vegetables we have seen. The village of Almon is getting up a boom of its own. A brick yard has been opei.e 1 and several new houses are go¬ ing up. As a clear, earnest and forcible deba¬ ter, Capt. J. M. Pace would have but few equals and no superiors iu the legis¬ lature. On all qrestions in w hich the people of Newton county feel a deep interest, Capt. Pace can be fully relied upon to vote light in the legislature. We can all feel the great convenience of the street cars, and are already won¬ dering how we got along without them before. Nothing like improvement. A man is reported to have died in Pittsburg. Pa , last week, of Asiatic chol¬ era, It will thus be seen that the Geor gia watermelon has opened the summer campaign, The grand council of the American Legion of Honor held its annual session in Marietta, on Wednesday. Mr. O. H. Tucker represented Covington Council in that body. Capt. Pace was urged by his friends to make the race for the legislature long before anyone else was spoken of for that position, and now they should go to work and help to secure his nomination, As a matter of news, we actually omit¬ ted to mention, last week, that Judge Stewart, our present congressman, was unanimously nominated as a candidate for re-election, on the 11th inst. The Star is unanimous for him. The street railroad company has pur¬ chased the old livery stable and lot from Mrs. V. C. Conyers, which adjoins the Flowers house lot, for the use of the company’s mules. The lot is a very con¬ venient and suitable one for that pur¬ pose. Capt. J. M. Pace was the choice of the ^tar for the legislature long before any¬ one else was spoken of for thst position. No man in Newton county is better qual¬ ified to fill the position than he is, and no man could repiesent the county more satisfactorily to all classes of our peo pie. A gentleman of experience, from the >fon region of Ohio, said to the Star, on Thursday hiii last : « 4 You are obliged to d the Covington and Macon railroad to this place. It is an absolute necessi¬ ty for you to have the road. You need >t to develop the resources of Newton county. 1 know there is iron ore enough in your county to secure for you a furn¬ ace and machine works with $ 1 006,000 , capital, and there need be no trouble about getting the money. But you must have better shipping facilities. Then you have granite enough to supply the growing demand for it for years and years to come. Covington can easily hi| ve a population of 20,000 in less than ten years. But the first thing for you to do in the matter is to get the Covington R **d Macon railroad completed to this place. Capitalists want good shipping acilities where they invest their money, think Covington could afford to build the railroad to this point, by herself, father than to lose it. The fact is, you fife obliged to have it »» Talk up the Covington and Macon rail road. It is a fortunate child that resembles its rich relatives. The Chinese are still unanimous for Hallison and Mloton. Every man who owns a farm should also own a good mower. The new cotton will opening : <n about one more dnth, •*«»•••• The mo?t of the upland corn is already tnade. The crop is fine. A great many men are like toad stools. They rot before they ripen, • ••• Talk and work for the Covington and Macon railroad extension to our city, Plenty of hay should be saved for borne consumption, as the crop isa fine one, The grand council of the American Legion of Honor will meet ne$t year at Rome. Atlanta should erect a grand monu¬ ment to the memory of Capt. John Keely. Ex-Marshal Smith, witli his squad of hands, has been putting in some very nice plank crossings for the street rail¬ road. “United we succeed, divided we fail i ‘ —to get the Covington and Macon rail¬ road. Let us unite in our efforts, and get it. A switch has been built for the street railroad, at the Georgia railroad depot, so the freight cars can run along by the side of the platform. Congress, last week, placed wool on the free list, which is said to be the first time it has been dore in over 75 years. Verily, tariff reform is now reforming. Everybody should help to secure Covington and Macon railroad sion to this place. It will require united effort of our people to get Then let us unite at once. If we get the Covington and completed to this place during this it will be a big feather in progressive cap. You see we have the street railroad built this year. The past week has been quite fatal railroad officials. Col. B. \V. Frobel, the C. & M. road, and Col. John Dunn, of the Atlanta and Florida, both died within a few days of each other. The Star does not care a cent part of town the Covington and Macon railioad runs through, so it comes here. And we don’t care whether the depot is connected with (he Georgia depot or not. Let us get the road, That is all we want. Capt. P. C. Turner, with his street force, is pushing the work of repairing Midway avenue, near the iron bridge. When the work between Mr. S. P. Thompson’s and the depot is completed, it will be not only a beautiful street, but much better than it w as before lbe street railroad was built. Col. John N. Dunn, of the Atlanta and Florida railroad, died suddenly at his home iu West End, on Jlonday last.— Col. Dunn was a man of fine business qualities, and his success in building the Atlanta and Florida railroad was quite phenomenal. Atlanta owes him a mon uinent for his success in building that road. The butchers of Atlanta have adop¬ ted the cash system, and now the most coil sequential dead beat in the city can« not get a pound of meat without the cash. The new rule working well, and the meat men are happy over the result. Now let the flour dealers, as well as all other business men, adopt the cash system, one at a time, and it can easily be carried out. Let us all try it. Tbe engineer corps of the Atlanta and Savannah railroad, better known as the Fry road, have surveyed the line by way of Sandy Ridge and Worthville, to Eu dora. That may be a very good route for a railroad ; but, if they want to get the best, cheapest, and most direct route from Atlanta to Eatonton, they should it down by Cora to Covington, and run thece to Eatonton. Just think of a furnace in Newton county, with foundry and machine shop with million dollars capital. Think a of also of the limitless amount our gran¬ ite and our wonderful and unsurpassed power, and of the millions of dol¬ water they would em¬ lars worth of machinery what ploy and drive I And then tell us section of our state lias a greater amount of natural resources then ours. But we need more railroads and capital to ae velop them. The street railroad company will have build cotton platform, some where to a sworn on its line in town, employ a SJXK- haul t he cotton over to the *•" a « demand for this among the tanners w 1 their cotton to Covington, because bring hardship in getting to the of the great during the busy depot or warehouse The street days railroad of the cotton season, haul can weigh the cotton and the depot for 10 cents a bale, whici it to weighing at the is the price charged tor depot.

Bigham returned on Friday raorn ing from his trip to North Georgia, where he reports having had an enjoyable time. Judge A. C, McCalla, of Rockdale county, was nominated as a candidate for the legisla¬ ture, on Saturday. The Star nominated him some time ago. A delightful entertainment was given at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Me. Connell, near Sunup, last week, in honor of their guest, Miss Lizzie Ozburn, of Newborn. Dr. O. II. Tucker, of Midway, attended the meeting of the grand council of the American Legion of Honor, at Marietta, last week. He reports a pleasant trip, and a satisfactory meet- Col. Emmet Womack, our present and next solicitor, passed through yesterday in a hand¬ some and stylish suit of gray, the first time he was ever seen iu clothes of an unclerical cut. —[Griffin Daily News. Gen. Longstreet, of Gainesville, was on the train of the Virginia Midland railroad, which fell through the high trestle, near Orange C. IL, Va., one night last week. He was re¬ turning home from the Gettysburg reunion, and fortunately escaped serious injury. It is with sincere regret we announce that Rev. R. J. Bigham, who has been pastor of the Covington Methodist church for the past two and a half years, has been transferred to the Rome circuit, and will leave at once for his new work. He has been made presiding elder of the Rome district, and succeeds Rev. J. \\. Roberts, who is now engaged on the endow¬ ment work for Emory college. Mr. Bigham is dearly loved by his church, as s we!l as the entire community, and all can but sincerely re¬ gret that inexorable duty calls him away from . His work here has been unusually blessed with success, while he has endeared himself to the whole community by his conservative and lovable life, and by his able, conscientious and faithful discharge of duty. The present July has been as pleasant as May usually Is. The Covington band furnished music for the 42d Ga. reunion at Monroe. An effort should be made to get Col. Fry's railroad to come by Covington. A dummy line of railroad should be built from Covington to Cedar Shoals.— It will be built some day. The work on the annex to the Baptist church is about completed, It will add much to the convenience and comfort of the church. We are pleased to learn that Mr. J. W. Roberts, the endowment agent of Emory college, is meeting with fine suc¬ cess in his werk of raising the endow¬ ment fund. There is one editor in the state who can board and is not dependent on fish¬ ing and picking blackberries for a liv¬ ing. It is Editor Fitts, of the Carroll County Times. He bas leased the hotel in Carrollton, and will hereafter run it in connection with his paper. How is that for a successful combination ? After the first of January the new law, which abolishes hanging and provides that all executions of criminals shall be made by electricity, will go into opera¬ tion in the state of New York. Every county and prison in the state will have to be provided with an electric dynamo or battery of sufficient power to produce death in an instant. Skilled electricians will have to be employed to manage the electric batteries, and chairs and other machinery will have to be prepared for use when criminals are to he executed. Whether death can be produced in an easier or more humane manner by the use of electricity than by hanging, we are not able t# say, but it is a question of dispute among the learned and scien¬ tific men of the country. At any rate, the experiment is a questionable one, and is certainly a very will expensive thorough un¬ certain one. But it have a trial in New York before the law is changed. A Voice Prom the Executive Mansion. Mr. A. K. Hawkes—Dear Sir ; The pantiscopic glasses you furnished me soire time since, give excellent satisfac¬ tion.

J. M. Pace for the leg¬ islature. He will simply be the right man in the right place, The state technological school in At¬ lanta will be opened on the 3d of Octo¬ ber. Tne outlook Is now very promis¬ ing for it, and we hope to see it largely attended. Much is expected of it, and we trust it ipay prove a great success, The dwelling house occupied by Rev. Mr. Cary, in Social Circle, was destroyed by fire on Friday- It caught soon after dinner time, and is supposed to have orig¬ inated from the stove pipe. The house belonged to Mrs. Coleman, and is total loss, there being no insurance. •* Dixie Gleanings. The farmers are nearly through laying by their crops, and are enjoying the pleasure of looking at their beautiful fields of cotton and corn, which they may certainly feel proud of. We attended the big reunion of the 42 d Ga. regiment at Monroe, on Friday, and had a good time, except at the dinner, where we beg. ged to be excused. We cannot, however, forget that pleasant young lady, who invited us to her home, and treated us to so many nice things. I could not ask her to compromise by just say¬ ing ‘"thanks.” Mr. T. A. Richards is making a nice addi¬ tion to his pleasant home. The Adams Bros, will finish their new cot¬ tage at an early date. Thus we are progress¬ ing. Miss Neeson has a very full school at Jef¬ ferson academy. Her many friends were glad to have her here again, and trust she may be at home with us for a long time. “ANY. Death of Capt. John Keely. We were greatly shocked on Thurs¬ day by the announcement that Capt. John Keely, the well known merchant and banker of Atlanta, was dead. The annonucement was sudden and start¬ ling, and no one was prepared for it.— It was scarcely known outside of his im¬ mediate family that he was sick. Still, he had been confined for about ten days, though not considered dangerously ill until toward the last, when he sank rap¬ idly. He died of blood poison, caused by a wound in the leg, which be receiv¬ ed in the last fight he was engaged in, at Bentonville, N. 0., just before the sur¬ render of Gen. Joe Johnson. Capt. Keely was born in Ireland, but came to this country when quite a boy. He was engaged as a clerk fur A. T. Stew¬ art, in New York, for several years be¬ fore he came to Atlanta, which was in 1858. When the war commenced he joined the Jackson Guards, a splendid company from Atlanta, and went to Vir ginta. His company was put in the Nineteenth Ga. regiment, and no com¬ mand did more efficient service than it. ,, Capt. , — Keely — , severely , wounded , , . was in the ,. leg , m . the ., last battle in winch . . , .. his command , was engaged, , and , lie , was con fined „ , at ., the hospitable , . , , home , of . Provis- . lonal , Governor „ Holden, „ ,, in Raleigh, . N. ..

It , was during .... his confinement „ at the home of . Gov. Holden, T , , , in . Raleigh, _ , . , ,, that , we first _ . met , him, . and | had , , the pleasure , of ,, forming . his acquaintance. . . He TT was chaffing , somewhat under his sad , ruisfor- . „ tune of being . wounded , , at , the end of the war, andbeingthusdeprivedof ., . , , , , the , pleas- , of . returning . to Atlanta ... m company ure ° with ...... his old comrades in arms. let . , he uttered , a murmur of „ complaint, , . never but bore his misfortune with the most . perfect , , resignation . . and fortitude we , have ever witnessed. He never lost his good f . humor for , single , moment, . and , daily a ° J his musical . , . could ,,, be . heard , . . voice singing * popular confederate war 6 ong, the , some 1 pathetic , sentimental . , am . of , , h» . native . Ireland, or relating some thn ling inci dent in b» army life. The attachments formed there can never be forgotten. We have never met Capt. Keely on any occasion, from that day to this, but what he made some pleasant reference to the incidents above mentioned In the fall of 1805, Capt Keely return ed to Atlanta, and secured a position as clerk for Mr. John M. Gannon, who had opened a small store on the identical corner which he has since made famous as the leading dry goods house of Atlan¬ ta. From a clerkship he soon became a partner, and afterwards sole proprietor. From the time he first started in bus¬ iness Capt. Keely was wonderfully suc¬ cessful. Fortune seemed to smile upon him, and his estate is now said to be worth at least half a million of dollars. In all our intercourse with Capt. Keely covering a period of twenty-three years, we have ever found him honest, frank and exalted in ail his purposes, correct and honorable in all his dealings, and a true, confiding, and devoted friend. He was wbolely incapable of doing a dis¬ honorable act, and all who had business intercourse with him, or met him in so¬ cial relation, were lastingly impressed by his frankness and candor on all occas¬ ions, and under all circumstances. He was married to Miss Ella Neal, daughter of the late Jack Neal, a wealthy and well known citizen of Atlanta, about 15 years ago, and has four sons. He was a genial companion, the idol and centre of a happy family circle, a true and devoted friend, a live and pro¬ gressive citizen, and a loving husband and father. It is hard to realize that Capt. Keely is dead. But such is the stern decree of fate. To his bereaved loved ones we tender our sincerest con¬ dolence and sympathy. Atlanta owes Capt. Keely a monument of purest marble, and his memory should be perpetuated by a shaft commensur¬ ate with his noble nature and exalted life and character. Capt. J. 31. [('o'lilnunicatvd,] Pace for the Legislature, Editob Star, Dear Sir— It is a source of great pleasure and pride, in passing about in all parts of our state, to hear the candidacy of our worthy fellow citi¬ zen, Capt. J. M. Pace, so highly endors¬ ed by everyone. Next to one’s own interest is that of our home, the county where we live, and as a citizen of Newton county, I have been made glad when, to the question : “ Who is old Newton proposing to send to the next legislature?” I have ans¬ wered, ‘‘Capt. J. M. Pace,” and heard in every instance this response: “An ex¬ cellent man, He will make a papital member.’’ I don’t know, of all our citizens, any¬ one who combines more fully the requi¬ sites of a fine legislator. He possesses quaintance with public affairs. We have known him from early childhood, were associates and friends in our youth and early manhood, and have reached the meridian of life together, and through all that time I have found him true and steadfast and deserving: He is a man worthy of every trust; and in selecting hinj to represent us in tho next legisla¬ ture, we know lie will be the peer of any member of that body, and we will be honored in honoring him. Let us all rally to liis support. He will represent us ably and truly. N. - [Communicated. ] Newton County’s Opportunity. Editor Covington Star : Dear Sir :—Will our county be equal to the occasion? Wesay, yes ; a thousand times, yes; and we believe it. The coming legislature is an important one. Business of magnitude will come before it, worthy of the thought of the brightest intel¬ lects and brainiest men of the state. The pre¬ paration for the reception of the state railroad from its present lessees ; the consideration of betterments, for which it is asserted by some, there will be claimed a million dollars ; the leasing of it again for fifty years or more ; the election perhaps of two supreme court judges and more than that number of superior court judges ; and many other questions of equal, and perhaps more vital importance to special localities, will demand the careful at¬ tention of Georgia’s best informed sons. The coming body should, therefore, be composed of the ablest men of our state, and it behooves every county, and every voter of each county, to do his duty manfully, as a truej citizen, and “hew to the line, let chips fall as they may,” and send, of all her democratic sons, the best and fittest for the place. This is being done by old Newton's sister counties, and there will be sent from Clarke, Richmond, Chatham, Bibb, Muscogee. Fulton, and a score of other counties, the very ablest of the able, legal, heads, who will lead to route or victory, meas¬ ures of great magnitude for Georgia and her citizens. Old Newton, in her past, has had her Wil¬ liamsons, her Lamars, Reynolds, Simmses, and other noble and distinguished sons to rep¬ resent her, and should, in this day and hour of her own and the state’s need, be true to her past, and potent for present good. We have in this race no click or dan, no wet or dry, no party r 1 issue, ’ save the success of the democratic and the good . of , all „ the , country. Then party, , let us, as one man, select from among us, one whose , ,. birth , was , here who , . has lived, as lived , : ’ his noble ., and , worthy , sire . before . , him, . who ever ’ , bore the , “grand . , old ,, name of - gentleman , ; ’one who, , . his early manhood, heard his country in ’ s call ,, and ,, heeded , it and , from the , strifes ... bearing : a gallant „ . name, laid aside his sword and . enter ed the civic field where, with application, . study J , and , practice, .. . he has . gallantly ,, won his r again spurs, and , stands , to-day . , learned, , . honest, hum \ a . ble, and ,,. high . toned . .

These fines are written without the knowl¬ edge or consent of Capt. Pace, and by one with no ax to grind, who knew not of his wil¬ lingness to serve, until informed by others and through the press. We not only feel what we have written, but believe similar sentiments fill the hearts of more than a thousand fellow citizens of Old Newton ; and, in the words of a noble old citizen and farmer of our county, and master of a Farmer’s Alliance, who has known Capt. Pace from his birth up through youth to his present noble manhood, i > we are for Captain Pace against the world. 1 ) CITIZEN.
