THE HAMILTON’ JOURNAL Su J. L. DIM . . . . LZSS SSL Hamilton. Ga., Mar. 25, JBBI. Prof, it itliam llcnry Peek. An excellent story from (be vrstii pen of '.bio gifted Georgian, ban just been commenced in tbe New York Ledger, l’rof. Feck id now a resilient of Atlanta, but for several years was a residebt of Talbotton, and enjoys the distinguished honor of having givon the writer bis first taosoujin tbe ‘•.art preservativejof all aru." lienr. Grady ba the following in a letter from New York, concerning me popular ity of I’rot. Feck: “A gentleman who sella enormous quan tities of tbe New York Lodger to sub dealer* told me tbe other day that Frof. William Henry Feck, of Atlanta, was now the strong cord of tbe peper. Always a chief attraction, thero were elder wntera on tbe Ledger who “had the call” over him with the Ledger readers, oapocial.y ns bis service on the paper had been in termittent. During the past few years he has steadily gone to the front, however, and now, as this dealer nays, “one of Peck's stories pashes up the nvio and steadies the circulation as nothing else does." He said further that the popular ity of the pr6sont stories is resulting ia an toemsing dementi foi back vo'nmr a containing Professor Feck's outlier Rto ilea. To be the ‘strong card" ou the Ledger moans to he. the favorite with the largest audience written for by any man in America, if not in the world. The Ledger has the lnr-eet circulation, by probably 200,000, of any paper in Amer ica, and with one exception, probably tbe largest in the world. “It is the rno-t devoted constituency,” Rays the newa-doaler, “as well as tbe largest that any American author writes for. The readers cf the Ledger will have their papier every week if they have to ga without their dinner to get it. It is very fortunate that it is pure, or it might do incalculable damr.ga. It em ploys the pens of the wisest und best es sayists, und its storiep, while they are thrilling and exciting, r.re always pure nod correct. The right fellow always whips tbe fight, and the virtuous gill al ways comes oat ahead with a certainty that is encouraging. Prof. Peck's sto ries have the fnney and spirit of Dumas’ best work, but they are clearly healthy smi sparkling.” All of which lam more than happy to record of a man who deserves it all and mora."

Facie John Mannd of Talbot ooucty, la one of tbe remarkable men of this (bate H i has kept a diary for forty or more years and has not failed to make an entry in it a single day since it was ooiumeuced. , His memory is aa good as Walter Scott's j ucd ho would make nearly as good a rep utation if be should devote himself to lit— i amtnre. liia knowledge of persons and ! things in Georgia and O-orgia history ia superior, perhaps, to (but of any livirg man. He not only knows tbe name of every county in ihe State, bat he in able to give not only the namd but the county site, the number cf the lot of land on which it ie situated with tbo number of tho district and the DRrae of some resident of the place. Ihe following interview lisd with ! tiiiu by Walter Do Wolf, will be road with ! mteteM, t.y all. It is characteristic, j “Among tho distinguished visitors her* i we had thd pleasure of mooting the Hon. j John 0. Mannd, from whose conversation ! we gather the following incident* in the j history of Talbotton, which will doubt j loss prove interesting to your readei*. To my query as to whether ho know much : about tbe early history of tho town, he said: . “Well, I should think so. 1 carried the grape vino for tho surveyor, old D:l! Mc- Mnrray, who laid it out. Ia fact, I cut the grape vine in Wilson’s creek, for which he paid me a quarter. That was in 1827 or 1823, I think. Talbotton is locat ed on lot 266, ltiili district, formerly Mus cogee county, and was drawn by a man ramed Gilbert, who gave it to his son, tut afterwards took it away from him when it was decided to locate Talbotton on it. * There was a groat deal of excitement over the location of t e county site at the time, the other candidate for Ihe location besng Centerville, about five miles east of Tat botton, and each place run a man for the Logisla'nre. Zack While was Talbotton’s candidate and Ichabod Cox Centerville’s and tho latter was elected, bnt nufoituu a‘ely for Centerville, the school of politics to which Cos belonged was in minority ia tbe legislate. •, and Tall otton's name was inserted in tho bill despite his efforts. After the passage of the t.-il, Mr. Cox rose in his seat and asked to be allowed to change bis name (meaning from the neys tc the yeas), when a weg belonging to tho opposition t*id he would second the gen tleman's request and would suggest that hie uacie be changed to Cock-doodle. This created an uproar and the change was never made.

Thuee wore good oid days before the cupretuat, of i !o!s, when a man like myself stood showing, and a knock dowu st:d <irsg-oat did tot necessitate r- funeral. This court room wits used till the completion of the preient court house in 1881 which was built by Charles and John K. Burch. The town and this section was viaitod by u terrible storm in 1532, which ds-I groat d.imnge, knocking out tbs gable ends of the court house. There have been 105 sefaior.s of the superior eonrt held in this county, 101 of which I have attended—r was providentially prevented from at tending the other four.

Alexander, E. H. Wor rr 1!, Jamas Johnson, Martin J. Crawford, E. M. Butt, J. L. Wimberly and J. T. \Vi ID. You nolice that Tim Willis is tbo twelfth of the judges, don't you?” “Yes, bat what of that?” “There’s a great deal in that. Twelvo is a kencficient number. Don't yon read the scripture - ? but of course you don’t, I never knew a newspaper man that did. However, you should read Tulmago’s ber mons which are published in tho 'limes nnd if yoo htul road his lust you would have learned that there were twelve tribes of 3-e:ael for tho anoieat tabernacle, twelve obargors, twelve silver bowls, twelve bullocks, twelve lambs of the first year. Fuither on, twelve stouts taken from ine dephths of the Jordan to build a memorial; twelve lions ou the steps of Solomon’s throne; twelvo legions of an gels; twelve apostles, twelve baskets of fragments, twelve stars for the woman's crown in Revelations, twelve gates of heaven, w.th twelve paarls, and twelve foundations, with tho names of the twelve apostles, and twelve manner of fruits. I ne tired and thirsty Iserehtitß came up on an oasis in the desert, and h ! ttire were just twelve wells of bright heaven- rewed, God- given w ater. “Yes, sir, I expcoi great things from this twelfth judge, a general reformation among the evil doors in this circuit, or a powerful augmentation of the chain gangs and (’claga i ion to tho State penitentiary from it. But you’ve p’aved it, switched oao off on tbo scripurc-s when I set off to tell yen something about Talbotton, and I have got to go now, but I’ll see you again before you leave town.” We find in the Atlanta Oonatitmion Rome figures on thi au'jecttbat seem reasonable enough for reproduction in this colamu It pppeats there are in this csty seven “white Baptist, and eleven colored Bspiiist, r-ne Christian, ere color ed Congregationalist, throe Episcopal,oue Jewish, one Lutheran, one Nothern Msihodist, seven whi'e Ale'l.odi“t and - is colored Me*hodißt. ore Methodist Prot r- -Isnl, ibt£6 white Presbyterian ard two ei,>-r-j p.-esbttcrie> . two 80u,;.H Cat 1 O io o-d one v.rittiu-t.’ Ch u rch -He notation a on the Death of Mr. J.

In ihe Inexplicable providence of an all wire God, we aro again visited by the death of cue ol our britberen, Why death should nave marked so important and netful member as brother us his victim we cannot tell. But it is His will, and of course It is right, “for tbs judge of ail the earth will do right." brother llrgau was a sincere, earnest hearted Christ .an gentleman, a man of probitv and unquestionable integrity. He loved his church and supported it with a self-vacrificiug devotion. He loved all its interests and labored to sustain them. He always fil.cd his scat in tlie church and Sunday School, and wielded a potent in fluence for good in all tl.e departments of church work. Though a quiet member, hfs influence was felt, and he has left a good name among u which " will loug remember. The committee recommend the adoption of the following re.oiutious: Resolved, That in the death of brother Hogan the Church feels (fleetly Hlliicte.l and deplores the loss as in . patable ; but is satlf fled that her loss is his unspeakable gain. Resolved, That the community lamonls in his death the loe of a good citizen, a kind neighbor. a generous friond. Resolved, That in Ilia family no iungu age can de-e ihe the severe affliction.

Williams, of Chicago, stating that ho baa just rocovered possession of SIO,OOO of Georgia bonds isr.netl in aid of tho Atlantic and Gulf railroad which wore lost in 1862. Mr. Williams atr-ries that the bonds were sent through the con-< federate lines nndor a ficticious address and were eont from Nassau to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they were lost or stolen. It ia supposed that Mr. Williams was known to bn disloyal ao be was afraid tbe hoci'a would fall into the bands of tbe United States and be confiscated. Tbe principe! of $10,00(1 and the interest for eighteen years at six per cent is due amonnliog in all to over $20,000. Ihe bonds were due last August, and a singu lar fact is that no bonds or coupons of tbe nnmbcrs given hsve ever been pre sented for Dayment during the eigb'-en vesta. The question ba* bet-n submitted to the governor, but it ia probable that if the bonds are presented and prove to be genuine that !h*y will ba p-,id.
