Fue South Carolina radicals at their recent convention selected a Grant delega tion for Chicago. —Macon shipped the first barrel of flour of the new Georgia crop. The wheat was out in Lee count}' on the 10th of April. —Northeast Georgia is to he thoroughly raided by the revenue men. every possible means will he tried to break up the whiskey business. —lt will be a hard matter to get free tick ets to the May Convention this year. The Georgia road is getting more stringent every year upon this subject. —Congressman Hammond of the Atlanta district is making quite a reputation in con gress, he promises well, and no doubt will be sent back by his constituents.. —Owing to the recent defaat of his party, laird Bcaeonsliehl has retired with lus a - from the control of the British Government, lie will be succeeded by Mr. Gladstone and a liberal ministry. —Almost daily some paper comes out with n long article in praise of some favorite for Governor, and winds up by nailing his name to the masthead. Wo have no favorite in t.lie matter, but there is one thing about it we do know, and that is we don't want Colquitt any mote. —We would like to know when the call for a meeting of the Democrats of this conn ty will be made, we think it is about time some steps of this kind were made. It will he too late just a week nr two before the convention meets. We want this matter looked into. —Postmaster General Key has tendered his resignation.

The citizens of Ids district regret this very much as Mr. Blount has made a fine representative, a reputation as a stateman that is not circum scribed by the confines of his native State. It is to be hoped that he will change his mind. —General Alexander will not he a can didate for re-election to the presidency of the Georgia railroad. lie Isas accepted a {xjsition as vice president of the great Louis ville & Nashville railroad combination. General Alexander suggests that the stock holders elect in his place Mr. C. H. Phinizy of Augusta, as lie thinks that gentleman fully competent to take the management of the road. —A correspondent to the Atlanta Consti tution from Gainesville has the following to sav about our Railroad:— •*Our people are blowing over another railroad to Jefferson, and one to Monroe via Jug Tavern. The road to Jefferson will doubtless be built and equipped with the rolling stock of the Gainesville and Dahlonega railroad, as it will be a marrow gauge. The road to Mon roe will tap the Georgia railroad at Social Circle/’ The action of the late republican state convention in declaring that the colored republicans of this State by reason of their great majority were entitled to a share of the offices ami honors of the party, has caused a considerable commotion amongst the white members of that party. They called a meet ing and expresed their dissatisfaction openly. They propose to continue to rule the roast and t Slink it an impertinence upon the part of their colored brethereu to ask for a share of the r.poil. The fiel ermcn of New England are about o get the United States into trouble with Great Britain. Under the treaty of Wash ington bet wen this Government and Great .Britain, American fishermen have th-J right to lish in Canadian waters, recently while en gaged in their legitimate occupation thev we e ordered to desist, and when they refused. the\ were driven off and their fishing tackle injured. They claim damages, the matter was present ed to the British Government, and it has refused to pay the amount claimed. Our wiseacres at Washington are pondering the next step to be taken in the matter. —The other day the House of Represen tatives had under consideration the revision oi the revenue law*, during the debate some Radical from the North read a newspaper article reflecting in severest terms upon the citizens of the ninth Georgia Congressional district, accusing them of the whole catogorv of dimes. As Mr. Speer the member from our district was absent Gen. Phil Cook of Georgia defended and hurled back into the teeth oi* the vile calumniator his slanderous charges. It is said that his speech silenced his adversary and was received with rounds of applause. We tender our thanks to the gal lant General the people of the ninth will not forget his manly defense in their cause. ’ Uow it was possible for our Emory to to be absent when the revision of the reve nue laws was up before the House we cannot understand. It will be remembered that this was one of his strong points in the late cam paign, one that he was going to urue with all the fervor .f his young and ardent spirit. Besides lie lost an excellent opportunity to defend his constituents from false charges and get in his great speech about Tallulah. Nachoochee, Tocoa and the Savannah river. He might have- then and there made as great a reputation as Ben Hill did in the Blaine affair. Look Cut for the Engine when the Whistle Blows. Mr. Editor: —lf the stock comes in as briskly for a few more days as it has done in the past week or two, we shall soon be ready to break dirt oil our end of the Rail road. We are glad to hear that those living along the line, arc becoming interested. Already we are begining to hear them call ing out like cab drivers. “ Tins way ! Mr. Engineer ! this w ay !'* True. I have heard of one man that did not want any Railroad; lie seems to be afraid someone will find out where he lives, lie ought to go West where they haul wood in a sled, go to mill on their own backs and call at the Post Office once a month. But on the other hand, I hear of a number who are not only willing to give the right of way, hut are willing to convert a portion of ttieir laud into stock to carry tho road through their places. If all who live along the line, will contrib ute as much as one acres width on each side all the way through, we will have abundant means to construct our portion of the bed. Gentlemen, you can take that amount of stock and never miss it from the hinds von now hold, and it will be the best investment you have ever made. If you have never en tered any calculations on this proposition, try them now. Instead of holding your lands as now, at $5.00 an acre, and not often finding purchasers even at that price, when the Railroad is built, you will find purchasers in numbers at-$15.00 and $20.00 and even $30.00 per acre. We should never hesitate at aucii investments as these. Fruit culture alone, with proper transportation, would offer one of the greatest enterprises for old Jackson. The Northern nurseries are mak ing colossal fortunes for their owners under all the disadvantages of their rigorous cli mate. For that business, there is not a better spot on the Western Continent, as to soil and climate, than can be found in our coun ty for the greatest variety of the best pro ductions of garden and orchard. We ask for no contributions that will not restore* fourfold. We want to hear promptly from all those who live along the different 10 res. Many of them have here a splendid chni.ee to make a fortune without going to California, the Black Hills, or even to White county. As soon as the road is located, little villa ges will spring up along the line, and some one will realize large amount for village lots and small farms for gardens and orchards. 1 suggest these firings especially to those who should be interesed in securing the loca. tion through their places: but it is worth much to any man to even live near a railroad for it opens so many small channels through which lie may increase Ids income. Yet as we said, in former articles, every man in the county is interested, and every one will be greatly benefited. So do not let. any ho' 1 back, because they do not live on any rout,; proposed for the road. [migrants will soon, after the road is open ed, he limiting lands in every part of the county. We do not ask any of you to give anything, only to take stock and help us to realize tho grand results which must flow from the completion of this enterprise. You cannot make a mistake here friends, unless you neglect to work with us and thereby iefeut our efforts. That indeed, would he a grand mistake. Do not fail to seize this chance for im proving your condition. There is a fair prospect that even the stock will pay, and pay handsome dividens. Others are sub scribing freely, so come with us. all of you and come promptly. John W. Glenn. Timely Caution. Genuine Hop Bitters arc put up in square paneled, amber-colored bottles with white label on ono side printed in black letters, and green hop cluster, and on the other side yellow paper with red letters; revenue stamp over the cork. This is the only form in which genuine Hop Bitters are put up, and the sole right to make, sell and use them is granted to the Hop Bitters MTg Cos., of Rochester N. Y.. and Toronto, Orrt., by patents, copy right and trade mark. All others put up in any other way or by any one else, claiming to be like it or pretending to contain hops, by whatever names they may be called, are bogus and unfit for use, and only put up to sell and cheat the people on the credit and popularity of Hop Bitters. A Farmer. We are not given to praising men under all circumstances, but propose to break our custom in the present instance. After taking in the railroad meeting at Hosch’s store last bat ure ay week and an excellent dinner, we in company with several others took a look at a portion of the farm of Mr. John Hosoh. Alter looking ut his wheat and oats and the manner in which ho has prepared his cotton and corn land, it was the unanimous judgement of the crowd, that he was ahead of any of the farmers of Jackson county. We know of none more progressive or suc cessful than he has been. lie has wheat that he expects to make over thirty bushels to the acre, oats in the same propotion, all of his lands are in a high state of cultivation show ing that Jio has not only grasped the key to true success for Georgia farmers, hut is putting it in daily use. Such men are valuable to a country, and we wish we had more of them. We advise all who say that they cannot make fanning pay, to make a visit to Mr. Hosch’s farm, and learn how lie has brought his land to a high state of cultivation, and at the same time makes money. Fine Work. During the last two weeks Mr. A. R. Rob ertson of Athens lias been putting up a con siderable amount of marble work in this county. \\ e notice a handsome new monu ment over in Woodbine Cemetery over the grave of Mr. k. T.
