From Ft orida —Major Bmlly who lia been on a trip to Florida, return ed last Monday. He is looking the better tor his trip, and reports quite a pleasant time in the “Land of Flow ers.” We publish a king communi cation from him on our first page. Read it, as it will be found quite in teresting. Another aged Man Gone. —Mr. Silas Durham died last Sunday night, after an illness of only a few days. Mr. D. was about seventy years old, and was well esteemed by those who knew him. Thus one by oue the old “land-marks” are passing away. Fell Dead.— Peter Spence, an old negro man who formerly belonged to Mr. M. H. Spence, of this county, fell dead whiTe hitching the horses to a wagon, at Mr. Geo. Murrains, last Monday morning. He was in his us ual good health, up to the time of his death. It is supposed his death was caused by heart disease. Back Again. —Mr. M. 11. Granber ry, after an absence of five years in Texas, returned to Harris last Friday evening. lie is on a visit here, and will remain, perhaps, a month or two. Texas lite agrees with him, and he is much pleased with the country, Mr. G. has promised ty> tell us “what he knows” about Texas, and as what he says can be relied upon, we shall pub lish a “few facts about it. Found Dead is the Bed —Mr. W. J. Cranford, who r sides near \\ is dom.s Store, went to bed last Wednes day night feeling as well as usual, an l during the night was found dead in the bed. He in company with his wife went to Whiiesville the evening before, and was not complaining at ail, and even after supper that night, was very cheerful. Mr <*. was about sixty years of age, arid was a good aud respectable cifi;: u. prepare for it. The unarm, and the shining i two our neighboring villages, . isit our city soon. These moonlight nights are beauti ful—no wonder they make a fellow feel like he “wauled to love every obody.” , ,pid man Mike says “this is spank there is . !notllr if “Foi-,,iv e 1,1 e • °li, forgive! No other condi ,ct - 01 ‘ pvr get my llowers again,” is .'J.Lv.tJ told her. but she wouldn’t forgive worth a eei?£. A young man suggests that “mar riage is tbe church yard i,flo>e,”n young lady suggests that “men are the grave-diggers.” Our debaters will get sifter Con gress tomorrow night. The question is“Sbould Congress repeal the act resuming specie payment?’’ The la dies are especially invited to attend. Show your gallantry boys. When the young men want, cigars that they' will nut be ashamed to offer a friend, then call at IN. 11. Barden’s, and Bert Cook will fix them up all hunkadory. These are certainly the lovliest nights in town. W e heard a young man sav that he felt like he wanted to love every body. We imagine that if lie dir!, there would be but a very small particle tor his sweetheart. A negro suggest that it, is the Georgia Cyclones that is running them to the Western grave yards. “What’s the use of cumulating a fam ! iiy unless de win is tuned down.” A young lady, who says she is not j :i t all afraid ofstotiu3, cried because t lie words of the preacher sank deep | into her heart, and not at all on ac ! count of the storm that was coming up. Anew dodge altogether. Velvet flowers over siik or satin is the si vie for young ladies. They have decided to quit wearing “kaliker” with three hundred dollars worth of trimming on them. Economy don’t pay. There is nothing that adds more to the cheerfulness of a mans nature, than to happen in at a time, when the voting ladies have been cooking for ; their sweethearts, all the day before, j If you know anything better, we are ready to compare notes. Racing Match. .'!•■ i-e AleCro ry ran his “Gray Eagle against Mr. J. W. Johnson,s “Gold Dust” last week near Bellview; and Mr. M’s horse was badly beaten. Mr. John son now proposes to run against Mr. Petty of La Grange, who owns Lucy, the “Piney-woods Shakerag.’’ No betting is to be done, only an honest purse for the riders. Mr Johnson’s animal is a small compact mare, and w hat is termed a combined. Premiums. —Dr. T. F. Brewster has offered a premium of five dollars for the best acre of wheat to be raised in Cataula district. In addition to this the Cataula Grange has also offered a premium. The Grange lias also offered a premium for the best acre of corn, anil each oue contesting for it is to put one bushel of corn in a crib and the the successful inan gets the entire crib. Enquirer— Sun. —Those who would like to gel a first-class daily paper, will find that the Columbus Enquir er-Sun fills the bill. It gets all the latest news from all points, and its editorial colnm..s are filed 'w.'j the best reading matter. The market.re ports are accurate and can be relied upon. Tbe proprietors issue a week lv anil Sunday, w hich has no superior in this section. Read their advertise ment in another column. A married man in Atlanta attended council meeting, and on his return home his wife found five different kinds of hair on hi? vest. •argely in general favor, than I Capt. M. in his own county, i ibis is good evidence that he is a j ue man. Here is what the EagU says of him: It has a! ways been a pleasure to us to meet high-toned gentlrnnn, and to mix and mingle with them in the every day walks of life. Hut they are so scarce—we meet them so sel dom—that wlieu we find a man like John W. Murphey, we are always proud to record the fact. .use, and ieth when mg man will a billiard cue. lie has been Secretary of the Geor gia Senate for two years pas', and in all his appointments and promises, it has never been said of him that he deceived a single man. Polite and affub e to all with whom he comes in contact, it was bat natural that he should wield a very considerable in fluence upon tlie circle in which lie moves. He is one of the most popu lar and influential men today in Georgia, and as he gradually grows older his acquaintance and influence extends, and we should not be sur prised to see him elevated to the highest office in the gift of the peo ple of Ids native State. The Lulu Legislature. Ens. Journal —lt has been the height of fashion, before and .since the adjournment of our legislature, to indulge in ill-natured and flippant gibes and thrusts at that body for things done and things left undone, and even for things attempted to be done. It can truthfully adopt the language of Sir John : “Men of all sorts take a pride to gird at me.” 'I he press of the State, from the Mountain Phetiix to 1 lie Wiregrass Sentinel, piqued, we fear, because all its recommendations were riot car ried out to the letter, and the many ills by which the State is beset legis lated out of it, has been unusually severe, and flashed off much cheap wit at its expense. It seems to have been situated about as the unfortunate woman was whose drunken 'husband declared, as ..e staggered homewards, that if she were sitting up, he would whip her for burning candies so late, and if she were gone to bed, he would whip her for not waiting till he oatne home. If they did this or that ; if they failed to do the other or which, the mal contents on the farm or in the office seem to have had a rod bid tip in pickle for them, and they were sure to get a sound rib-roasting, let them do as they' might. A word on the other side of the question might now be considered in order. We are rapidly embracing the er roneous belief that legislation is the cure for all our evils, when, on the contrary', it is often a mere palliation, and too frequently irritates the sore intended to be healed. When there is an evil in the land—when a crime is committed, a wrong done —the majority of us are sure to suggest the “ passage of a law ” to do so and so, and in private conversation we often hear the letnark, “ There ought to be a law passed,” etc., when, in truth, the fault lies fathoms deeper than hu man law' can reach. Should one of us given to fault- j finding and carping take Irwin’s code I and give it a careful examination, I dare say we would lay it down sur prised how few improvements we could suggest; and we would arrive at the conclusion that our legislature had the negative virtue —and in such a case no mean virtue it is—of having done no harm. Some of us who so inteniperately , criticise its short-comings ought to he honored by our fellow-citizens by ! a seat in that body for one term. We would then discover how small a I thing one tnau is in a body of 200, the majority of whom are his equals, 1 and a dozen or so superiors, in wit, worldly wisdom and parliamentary | tactics. We would also discover j that no one man, however brassy, ; gassy aud wiry, could “pass a law.” We would find ourselves like a pri ; vate in a military company —able only to keep onr place in ranks and fire one gun instead of a platoon, j If we improved our opportunities, we would come home w iser and bet ter—possessed of more charity for those who had gone before and those j to conic af.cr us.

Anotiikr Tuckt at Cataula.— Marshall Kimbrough had the misfor tune to lose 400 lbs. of bacon, besides oilier articles of less value.
