He is not the only young VfiaW in that'

Mr. Sam W> Smith has eight pigs that
'lie will slaughter soon. They arc nine
mouths old, and will average two hundred

A young man of Ellijay recently wanted
to see a lady home from churclf, and this
Is the way he addressed her: “ky Dear
Miss—Will y-ou so far condescend as to
sacrifice your convenience to my pleasure
l>y inserting fke digitals and a portion of
the extremity of your contiguous arm into
the angular [loiture formed by the crookißg
‘of my elbow against the perpendicular part

they walked <r£ he said something about
‘eating fried dictionaries for suppei*.
A great many people of this town are
now training themselves for the better
world by a different process than the one
laid down in H-My Writ. When a fellow
can loiter arotifcd town all day without any
business, aud a‘destitute family at Softie—
no meal or Seat in the house, hVid the
'children barefooted—we imagine, that as
he grows old, kin heavenly march Will not
be retarded by his worldly treasures, aud
that he can sing
“And when to Jordan’s stream we are
come, we’ll go on, ive’ll go on,
To a land of corn and wine, we’ll go on.”
We are authorised to announce fechaffte
‘of Mr. John L. Eeeter as a candidate for
Representative from this county. Mr.
teeter is not a chronic office-seeker, hut
has been solicited by his friends to make
fee race. He is a good citizen, a practical
farmer and a cleVer gentleman. He favors
deduction of salaries, retrenchment in the
various departments of goverrmehf, and
an honest administration of the laws'; also
fee new Constitution, the homcetekd of
1877 and Atlantia ior the Capital. Should
he be elected his old time honesty And in
tegrity will be the safe guarUiafii of tlie
People’s interests.
CUL. CASTERCAt'GBT COI’UTIXU.
His naßie is Jodie 'Carter, his home Is at
Stone Mountain, and he wiekls an editorial
pen eh the DeKalb County News. Jodie,
like !’ i*sMe Now, has been la love. He
fca? tasted ifs sweets and its hitters—he hsr
worn the mitten, likewise the ring.
A few nights ago he attended cbtirch,
with his darling, and looked as happy as
an army mule in a clover patch. The
smiles that paired between them were
sweeter than -flapjacks and sorghufp. molas
ses, and the leaving glances they cast at
each other were enough to soften the heart
of the ‘toughest pine. They were happy—
'there was no slip ifp about it. Afredchurch
they returned to the young lady’s home,
where they had a little meeting of their
own, hut instead (if embracing religion,
they embraced'each other. The meeting
didn’t close as pleas,-fbtly as Julie desired ;
just the opposite, aud in a manner calcula
ted to hurt his feelings. They were stand
ing -on tlie front porcli, aud the lfioon, in
all her'lirrghtiH-sS, was shining ifjxin them.
He took her 'tiny liand in his right, his
left Alin went on "a foraging expedition and
halted on her left shoulder, Happiness!
joy! —joy unspea'kable!—now'praneed Yip
and down Jodie’s manly forth like a young
goat on a stable ‘roof.
flc drew her closer, and lirfr head rested
in the neighborhooil of his heart. Grand
and beautiful was this sight—it Ivould have
brought team to tlie eyes of a potato. He
leaked forward like the taU'plue that bends
before (he strong vr md, and impressed upon
'her rosy check a kiss—a regular “Joe”
darter. She liked it, and as his beautiful
brown eyes sparkled like diamonds, he
said:
“Wilt thou be mine, dear lo'/fc reply,
Sweetly consent, or else deny ;
Whisper softly, none shall know,
Wilt thou he mine—say yes or no.”
She took it in—she gulped it down—
'likeVliungry chicken would a lame grass
hopper. aud with up-turned eyes she softly,,
sweetly and lowly replied, “I wilt.” “My
darling,” said Jodie, as the tears ran down
his cheeks Eke overflowing rivers, “as tlie
‘hound puploveth potlicker, so I love thee ;
as the‘old hen watcheth over her young,
so I watch over thee, and’if* the candidate
hankereth after office, so I hanker after
thee."
The happy couple had been having it all
their owu Way up to this time, but the
young lady’s father, who had been watch
ing and listening, concluded to have his
way for a While. The old man jikt on a
pair of boots he had got in a mule trade,
and slyly slipped on the porch. Jodie and
the young laky were still standing there,
locked in each other's arms,tlie key thrown
away, and thinking no other eyes were
watching them except those of tlie nights
ingale that was perched in a tree near by,'
which seemed to be singing its sweetest
songs for ‘feeir 'especial benefit. Would
that no other eyes had been watching
them! Jodie would have been spared a
great deal of pain. He stooped lo kiss her
again, mid as he did so the old mail’s light
boot and Jodie came together like two
locomotives. There was a Boise—a crasii.
The people in that vicinity thou sA that a
mad hurricane, twelve month’s behind
tiriie, was in their midst, ne Went all
ovdr Jodie, and Jodie uttered softie yells
that woftld have done credit to a hand of
Coniariche Indians, The old riian soon
exhausted his strength, and when tlie first
feiportuftity offered itself Joilie gave one
leap and went over the fence, leaving the
hurricane part of his coat on a pailihg.
The next morning an exaihiftation re
vealed the fact that a portion of Jodie’s
left ear, the collar of liis pants and- a liamT
fd’.l of hair were left o s .i tlie battle field.
Thiit y.iting editor will never court at that
house anymore'. He Won’t even pass that
'Why.
On the following afternoon .Todie was
Well enough to walk to bra office, and as
lie stopped at the portoffice Several of his
friends asked him why ins ri'gfi't eye stood
out like a hay window and many other
questions that were anything but pleasant
for him to answer. However, he silenced
them in tiiY following manner: “Boys, I
had a strange dream last night. Tlie truth
is, 1 was in love,but I ain’t now. I dreamed
that I escorted a young lady to church,
and after returning to her home and while
standing on the front porch I courted and
kissed her. Her father saw me, and we
had a little'difficulty. You see, while I
was dreaming I must have fell out of tlie
Bed and bruised myself up this way.” As
Jodie looked up the street he saw tlie old
man—the hero of the previous night—com
ing towards him, when Be said': “ There
coiftes the old chap, now, and i'f some of
you don’t hold me or tell me to go in some
store we’Jl have another fight.”
Jodie’s friends took him in'charge, and
the last we heard ot him he wfts doing fine
tiuder tlie circumstances -but what circum
stances !
The candidates, true to their appoint
ment', addressed oiir citizens last Saturday.
Each fellow told his tale, and some had
longe'r tails than others. Great chunks of
’patriotism Were scattered aroYind profusely
and tlie Bright side of political records glit
tered like diadems in a full grown sunshine’.
Proplietfe predilections and word's of wis
dom, as they fell upon our ears, made us
think strongly of pulling Elijah down
from the skies to give place to a greater.
The prophets of Baal would have been
nowhere. The fires of Demosthenes were
kindled on the altar of the temple of liber
ty, and the “Star of Hope” beamed with
au effulgence that shed a halo of glory
through the long, winding ais!e£ of the
Courthouse and lit up the faces of an im
mense concourse of people numbering
twelve persons. The leading issues dis
cussed were “Pletlestination,” “The Star
of Destiny,” the eternal rights of the peos
pie and tlie uutold and unmeasured fitness
of the aspirants to lead the children oi Israel
Ollt of the wilderness.
LETTER FROM MOEQARTON.
TIIK UK ALT II and CROPS ok FANNIN
COCKTV—CHI RCIIKS—THK SEW
CONSTITUTION, HOMESTEAD
AND CAPITAL—THE SEN
ATORIAL TtACk.
Morcaxtox. Ga., Nov. 18th, 187 T.
Being at leisure, I thought I would give
you the news of Fannin in au abbreviated
stylo. The health of the county Is vei*y
good at present; so mfich so I am fearful
ohr-physioiinis will have to resort to some
unknown clime if they sell pills. But I
know wliat they can dtt, as they arc not
prohibited by any power ; they can wear
their old clothe#, if they can keep them
together.
The fiuming class is looking up to some
extent, as all vegetation is in a nourishing
condition, and We JiaVe a very fair medium
or average crop o'f all prwlucts.
The pastors of the Baptist and Methodist
’churches should rcdtiicc with considerable
joy, as they have bad many revivals and
quite a number of confessions.
The election for the new Constitution,
the homestead, location of the Capttal'and
members to tlie Legislature will soon be
here, and as these election* are <it vital in
terest to ot>r county we should scan mat
ters closely before casting our vote. I
have conversed with some of our host citi
zens, irrespective of party, aud they almost
unanimously admit that the new is the
best Constitution in the United States, aud
they will vote for fktifi&itiou, Atlanta as
the Capital aud tlie'homestead of 1877.
But we have another election—that of
Senator—and we should view our past his
tory with aB ranch 'precision as we contem
plate the future. Does justice say we
should vote for PickenS, Gilmer or Fain.in ?.
Let us view the matter and see—let us as
men and citizens of honesty view tlie facts
as they arc aild not as some might wish,
and uite for the county that should haVc
it.
At the close of the war, in 1885, Mr.
Quillian, of Gilmer, was elected Senator;
in 1868 Mr. .Toliu B. Dickey, of Faimin,
and in 1870 Mr. Jervis,of Fannin,and then
in 187-1 Mr. Chastain, of Gilmer. Y'ou
see Gilmer has had two terms Fannin
two during the past twelve years, and as a
voter of tlie Forty-first district, and a cit
izen of Fannin county, I ask in tlie name
of justice when will the time come when
Fannin and Gilmer will cry out “poor,
little Pickens; you are not worthy a Sena
tor, hut we will give it to you for once
term.” Is this right, justice or equity?
If so, our lexicographers must change some
terms, Without you have'come to the'const
elusion that Pickens is not capable of self-:
government, and that she has not Brains
sufficient for a Senator, and therefore we
must intervene i’.nd tranract her business.
But there is one thing some of us say
she is fully competent to perform; that is,
to vote for our candidates. If she is com
petent to vote for our counties and help us
place our candidates" in power, let lis, in
the name of humanity, return the compli
ment B)y casting oui Vote? - for Pickens’.
Her good citizens say they will, and I be
lieve they will not swerve from their polit
ical duty. I like Gilmer and her honored
citizeus just as well as I do the people of
Pickens,But justice says Pickens is entitled
to the member this term. Therefore let
us support ter candidate, and say by o'ur
acts we are Willing to submit to fee golden
rule, “Do unto others as we would wish to
he done by." A Votes'ok Fannin,
A CARD FROM COL. SUMMONS.
To tlie voteri of tlie Fortysflfet Senatorial
District:
Having been delayed by unavoidable
circumstances from entering: a vigorous
canvass sooner, I take this method of au- ’
flouncing myself a candidate for Senator
fioift this disttict, and of giving you sonic
of my views in Connection with my candi
dacy. I don't boast of so many solicita
tions as some, but I make the race because
I want tlie office. I believe tlie county of
Pickens to be entitled to the next Senator
as a matter of 'courtesy between counties,
aud I think that I am Wall received by tlie
people of that county.
While the discussion of National politics
Is not the appropriate sphere for a candi
date for tliis position,yet the times demand
mi effoVt ou the part of tlie whole StAte to
relieve the people from oppressive revenues
and the marmot in which they have been
collected, and the frauds practiced on the
general government, aud the “blackmail”
stolen from her citizens. Furthermore the
State should urge the repeal of the specie
lesumption act,by which means a currency
can be restored to a prostrate people that
will be adequate to their wants’.
I favor the ratification of tlie new Con
stitution, fee homestead of 1877 and At
lanta for the Capital. We should not fail
to exercise a high privilege at the ballot
box touching these issues.
Should I Be elected I shall cot sit an idle
spectator in the Senate of Georgia, but on
the contrary where the rights or interests
of my country were likely to be affected I
should feel it my duty and take great pleas
ure iu maintaining them.
Some important legislation must he had
to cany olit the design of the framers of
the new Constitution And adapt it to the
wants of tlie people. Such legislation is
wanted as will restore good faith between
debtor and 'creditor, and make honesty a
preferment among all men—legislation
'that will give new vigor and life to our in
dustries and commerce. A wise system of
legislation will do much to relieve the bur
dens of tlie poor, and give them A credit
upon a sound basis. If any plan can lie
suggested whereby the railroads ot the
State can ho. sold so as to extinguish the
public debt of the State I shall give it my
hearty support.
If I should Be elected I shall never prove
recreant to tfie high trust reposed in me,
but shall work to promote the interests of
the whole people. Respectfully, etc.,
Wm. 11. SimSoks.
