t M pees! ROS’T S. HOWARD, Editor. JEFFERSON, CAJ±. FRIDAY nOimiiti. April SO, 18*0. —Railroad combinations continue to be the order of the day. —General Joe Johnson declines a re nominat.ion to Cotigress. , —T!ie North Georgian has hoisted the name of Gen. Gartrell for Govenor. —Sam Hoyle the defaulting tax collector of Fulton county has committed suicide. —The members of the Ohio Legislature will soon record their votes by means of olectrioity. —Denuis Kearney the California agitator has been sentenced to imprisonment for daorderlv conduct in that city. —Jolly has. admitted that he had a hand in the killing of Miss Victoria Norris. The body has been found and indentified. —The showing of the financial condition of the Georgia Railroad for the last twelve months is considered remarkably good. —Hancock county is to have anew Court House. We suggest that the authorities vome up and lake a look at ours, and then build one 'like it. —The prospects at present promise a large yield from the grain crops of Kngland and the Continent. This will make bread-stuffs cheaper in this country. —You may rest assured that politics will make things exceedingly interesting this fall, already the clouds are darlening and the nilitterings of the deep toned thunder is heard afar off. —This is the week for us to tel! the public that owing to ill health Mr. Tilden will not allow his name to be used as a presidential aspirant, that bo has given up the matter sometime ago. —Treasurer Renfroe reports a surplus of $250,000 in the State Treasury not needed for any public purpose this year. Gov. Colquitt has instructed him to redeem State bonds with the money. —lion. Thomas A. Hendricks will no! play second fiddle on the democratic ticket this year. He does not consider the office *f vice President attractive to a man who i.> or has been United States Senator. —By the Geneva award the United States recovered several millions of dollars from the British Government. This money has never been disposed of, a bill to that effect is now before the senate and is exciting con siderable interest. —We sympathize with Mr. Hill he i certainly' having a hard time of it. lie is surrounded on all sides by foes, Kellogg, Raymond, and the newspaper correspondents are all trying to dig his political grave. We hope lie will survive them all and live to tri umph over his enemies and vindicate his name. —The report of the Senate committee on tlie Kellogg case is causing some trouble amongst the democratic senators at present. The committee decided after a thorough in vestigation of the facts to recommend the unseating of Kellogg. Part of the democratic Senators think this course would be unwise while others insist, that it should be done at once. As is usual our two Senators think different upon the subject. Hill, who is upon the committee, says expel him. Gordon thinks it best to let the report of the committee rest for the present, upon the idea that it will give the Republi cans something to talk about during the campaign. —The Republicans held their convention to select delegates to tho Chicago coinven tion last week in Atlanta. It must have been a grand sight to have witnessed the struggles of the workers for the various as pirants. A large majority of the members wore colored, and it was one cont inual strug gle as to who should control and lead them. The wliite Republicans found them unraanag able, and disposed to have their own way, besides they demanded for their color a fair share of the offices, and honors, to be distributed by their party'. The delegates will go mostly in the interests of Sherman and Blaine, but it is hard to tell what they will do when the time for action arrives. Some significant rema ks were made by some >f the delegates, one, was to the effect, that they did not propose to support Dr. Felton anymore as he was too much of a democrat to >uit them, and would not recommend re publicans for office, but that they would endorse Speer. We think the policy of the j arty will be to put out candidates in all of Fie Congressional Districts, where there is any chance for devision amongst the demo crats. The C?reatest Blessing.

Editoh : — Can you find space for the BBbllowing. The farmers are busy planting preparing their cotton land. " This is a pood farming section of the county, we all generally make a plenty, and live ‘at home. Levi Martin has anew organ and you just ought to hear him play it—he says he wants i. wife oh so bad. Jack Mitchell is goim* to make nil the cotton this year— he says he loves all of the girls but one, and loves her too. We have a good Sunday school at Thompson's school house, Thomas S. Johnson is the teacher. Gauky. EORI>!EA *I3W£. A correspondent of the Jefferson Forest Netos wants** 11. W. G.” to write up the Jug Tavern Krilroad. Better not. It might be abandoned i —Savannah Neics. Jolly, the alleged murderer of Miss Vic t< ria Norris, in DeKalb county in June, 1877, has been arested in Mississippi and brought back to Decatur. He claims that Miss Norris is still living and that he can show where she can be found, lie is also charged with having stolen a bale of cotton. The Middle Georgia Argus tells a vera cious story about a bald-lieaded North Geor gian having a huge black spider painted on the top of his* bead to scare off the fiics. It almost frightened his wife to deatii when she saw it, while he himself was knocked out of his chair three times by people who wanted to kill the poisonous insect without alarming him by telling him it was there. The Albany Neivs learns that a cyclone passed over a portion of Lee county about one o'clock p. m. on Tuesday last. The track of the cj'clonc, as seen from the cars, commenced about three or four miles south of Leesburg, going in a northerly direction. Fences, trees, houses, sheds, etc., were blown down ar.d considerable damage done to the crops, but so far there have been no reports of any’ person being killed 4>r injured. The Buena Vista Argus reports a travel ing professional thief lately going the round of Marion county. 11 is plan was to drive about the county in a wagon as a peddler by da}', and to visit hen roost3 and barns at night. He was caught at his thievery a few nights since and pursued. Being pressed rather closely, he cut his horse from his wag on, leaving it and his booty in the hands of bis pursuers, but he himself made bis escape. Americas Recorder: “ Mr. Thomas Broad held, of Lee county, brought to our sanctum a large chip of oak taken from the heart ol a tree fu ly three feet in diameter. In this chip is imbedded the horn of a deer with sev eral prongs. Now, whether this horn was driven in the small sapling many years ago for a hitching post or whether the small tree was impaled by the buck is the question. The former, however, is the most plausible theory. Those wishing to examine the curi osity can see it at our office.” Montezuma Weekly: Sheriff Bell en tered the jail Monday morning, the 12th inst. Bill Johnson, colored, who was in jail on a charge of burglary, made a dash for the door and passed out. Sheriff Bell and sev eral citizens gave chase, but William was striking for liberty, and made good bis es cape. Wilson Paul, the boy murderer, had got out of his cell into the hallway of the jail, but was kept from leaving the jail by an old colored woman who stood guard over him until the return of the Sheriff.” The Athens Banner reports an accident to Tuesday’s afternoon train on the Athens branch of the Georgia Railroad, which came near being serious : “ When between Anti och and Maxey’s the rear trucks to the mid lie or smoking ear, jumped loose, the left hand wheels taking the middle of the track while the right revolved in open air touching nowhere. The jar and shock, as well as the fright to the pasengers, were terrible, but fortunately no serious damage was done. The train was soon righted and came iu on time.” Funeral Sermon. Rev. 11. N. Rainey will preach the funeral of Deliah Wallace at Walnut Fork church on the first Sabbath in May next. She de parted this life on the 4th day of October 1871) aged about G 8 years. She was for thirty years an acceptable member of the Baptist church at Zion. Iler conversion was in the early period of her life. She was a tender and affectionate mother kind in disposition, sociable, full of benevolence and trul} r virtuous. Relatives and many friends mourn the lo9S of this worthy mother but that loss is only her eternal gain of that world of imperishable glory. She expressed a willingness to die before she expired this life, nothing but dying grace can give U3 this resignation. A Fill END —•+> • -'SOB*- * Railroad Talk. During the past week nothing of great importance in connection witli our Railroad has transpired, the work goes steadily on and daily, additions are made to the amount already subscribed which foots up over four teen thousand dollars with plenty more to hear from. There will be a meeting of the di rectors in Gainesville the coining week at this meeting the Directors will decide upon the necessary steps to be taken. We are inclined to the opinion that work should be commenced at once. This more than any other move would raise the confidence of the doubting ones as to the ultimate success of the project. We regard the future of the road as settled provided the directors will go to work at once. We can see no reason for a further delay of this important enter prise, every effort should be made to get the road in working condition so as to enable us to move the cotton crop this fall. We hope that in our next issue we will be able to give our readers more definite ideas concerning the immediate building of the road. Sawdust Made Valuable. A United States letter patent was granted March 25, 1880, to W. Grossman, of Pe tersburg, Ya., to make railroad ties, fence posts, paving and building blocks, etc., out of sawdust. Thisartitieial wood, it is claimed, can be made fire and water proof, and no insects will attack it. It will take polish and will stand higher pressure than ordina ry wood. It also can be cut and sawed and allow nails to be driven into it. As the process of making it is very simple and cheap, it may be destined to bring a revo lution in the saw mill business; at least it will relieve the saw mill men of much trou ble gonceraing the accumulation of saw dust. committee of ladies appointed to arrange the table arc requested to meet at the Methodist church at o’clock a. m.
