The Hook and Ladder Truck
The Hook and Ladder truck ar
last Sunday night and is a
model of beauty and fine workman
ship. The motto word, “Guardian”
in well defind letters, is beautifuls
ly painted on the railing at the
four corners of the truck, while
the name of “Virgil Powers,’ of
Macon, in honor of whom it is
named, occupies a prominent place
in the center, and is also to be found
on the head-light which so hand¬
adorns the machine.
The triick was rigged up on'
Tuesday evening last and drawn
over town, by the company, and
reminded one, somewhat, of the
“grand street' pageant” of John
Robinsoh’s circus. During the
rounds, the boys drew up in front
of Ross, Greene and Go’s drug
store, and Cols M. G. Bayne and
A- C. Riley were loudly Galled for
to address the company. Both
gentlemen responded with very
appropriate and enthusiatsic
speeches. Drs. Ross and Greene
were also called for but evaded
the boys in a very witty and pleas¬
ant manner, compromising the
matter with buckets of ice water.—
We believe the company is perfectly
satisfied with the truck in every
particular.- The ladders are bciug
made by Mr. O. H. Miller, who very
generously contributes them, and
will soon bo finished when tho com
parry will be fully equipped.
Rev. Geo. W. Mathews, of Mob

Tbe brick for enlarging' the store
of Gray Bros., is being put on the

be made. Messrs Gray Bros, w ill
have a heavy stock of goods this

necessary to meet the demands of
their trade.
For a week or two past a large
number of watermelons from South¬
west Georgia have passed through
our town en route for the North¬
ern cities, On Sunday evening
last we noticed a train of ten cars
loaded with this fruit. Would not
many of our farmers find a profit
in raising melons for shipment.

Drummers are getting & little

unmistakable indication of very
dull business.
High prices for day hands are

We learn that Mr. J. W. Hardi¬

TOTE FAIR.
Mr. Editor i —There has been so
much unfairness, sd little sincerity
and candor in our newspaper men,
pending the exposition of men and
measures of the present canvas,
that ’tis enough to disgust our so¬
ber thinking people with most of
the members of the press fraterni¬
ty. To instance, look at the Guber¬
natorial canvass, except about six
newspapers in the wbole/State, and
these are outside figures, and I
don’t really think there is another
paper in the State that,will discuss
Goy. Colquitt aud Col. Hardeman
with the least degree of fairness
and justice. ’Some few are almost,
if not quite, incapable of it. We
do not think that ’tis jilst and
right for Editors of newspapers that
are largely, and some perhaps half
supported, or more, by Colquitt
men, to be continually thrusting in¬
to their faces much misrepresenta¬
tion and slanderous charges against
Gov. Colquitt, without offering
any show of defense. If one pub¬
lishes a denial of some slanderoits
charge against the G -he pro¬
ceeds at once to garble it an d twist
it, to suit his prejudices, and pub¬
lishes it simultaneously in order,
it seems, to prevent his subscribers
from seeing things just as they
are. Gentlemen of the Press, this
sort of thing won’t do, if you pre¬
fer a certain candidate tack his
name in some conspicuous corner
of the paper, and then .give us the
news fairly and squ’arely on both
sides of tho question, and we’ll try
and reach a conclusion ourselves.
We have but one party down
South, hence the people expect you
to write in the interest of all, in¬
stead of only a certain few. We
say it once for all, and we believe
we express the intentions of the
masses, that we will not be bull
dozed or driven from any right po¬
sition oil any question by any
clique or clan for fear that we
may be charged with having brok¬
en the ranks of a solid Democracy.
The cloven foot is sticking out too
far to be easily concealed. Politri
tical tricksters are trying to perpe..
trate [all sorts of -wrong under
cover of a solid democracy, think
ing that our more conservative
people will sustain them in their
selfish doings rather than fight
against them at the risk of tearing
up the party. Well, Mr. Editor,
these clans may out manceuver us
but tho faigners and others of this
country ere long are going, to
come it over them like Grant did
Lee, well beat them by force of
numbers. Wat'Ch.

Hickory Grove Letter.
Mr. Editor:— Please allow
space for a few lines from this no¬
ted litt'e place. Hickory Grovo. I
think our former correspondant
must have ceased to write, as it
has been a long time since I have
seen anything good from him. He may
have a very reason for not
writing as news certainly is scarce
roundabout here. The health of
our community is good, and I
might say there is but very little
sickness in the county. Several of
our old citizens have died this year,
and there are but few of them left.
The most exciting thing now with
the farmers of this section is labor.
I have not known such a scarcity
of labor .ia the farms round-about
here for many years. The farmers
were very late planting, used Gua¬
no extensively, (which makes grass
grow)and planted depending moro than they
could cultivate, upon
day labor to cultivate it for them.-—
Now they can not find tho dayria
bor, conseuqently they find them¬
selves with more grass in their farms
than anything else. Notwithstand¬
ing j;he prospect for a crop this
year is pfomising, and should the
farmers' succeed in destroying the
grass, aqd no future disaster awaits
them, doubtless there will be a
very goqd yeild. The wheat crops
with lis this year has been almost
a total failure, and but very few
have been able (o realize any prof¬
therefrom. The average amount
of wheat harvste4 in this section
was about three bushels per acre.
Oats are considerably better, but
not so good as were last year. Tbe
wheat crop I think has been a fail¬
ure throughout this state, and ma¬
ny parts of the wheat growing
states; which doubtless will ad¬
vance the price of it. Though some
of our merchants argue that it will
not.
Ttesgectfully. Qhisfiax.
Elbert Yule'e Fagan
Son of Elbert and Nancy Fagan,
was born in Houdbti County Ga.,
Dec. 29th, i860 and died May 22d,
1880.
He was sorely afflicted with
Dropsy for seven bug yearn.
To look back'nowhpon the try»
ing circumstances of Yutee’s life, is
enough to melt the -hardest heart
to tenderness and pity. Had it
hot beeii fof the kindness and de»
votion, constant and Uttdeasing, of
his parents and brothers and* sis¬
ters, he would have ’yielded long
before he did. Yulee was a mod¬
est and unassuming boy. He was
honest and as his fathers, Treasu¬
rer, he always rendered a good ac¬
count of his Stewardship, possess¬
ing so many enobling traits of
character, and he sosadly afflicted,
and receiving necessarily so many
kindly attentions from devoted
ones, he became the center jewel
in the family-circle.
But Yulee is gone where there
is no more desperate spasftlodid
struggling for breath.-but we trust
that he will breath forever the exhil
iarating and renewing-air of Eden
regained. May parents, • brothers,
sisters and Yulee meet where part¬
ing is no more.
Kites have come into vogue
again and the young Ben Frank¬
lins are flying them all over our
town.
The latest thiiig on “bangs” is
to arrange them in letters so that
