Yet there has been no call made to select delegates to attend the meeting of the convention. —We know we are under some obligations to our readers to toll them what is going on in congress but when we turn to the tele graphic columns of our big Georgia dailies we find nothing in them about Congress that would interest an indifferent patriot.

They have become conscious ot the fact that they are the republican party in this State and as a natural consequence they v/ill demand the patronage of the Govern ment. —We have been tackled by some of our best friends for our opposition to Gov- Col quitt. Iu justice to their feelings we sa}’ that we are well satisfied that he is an upright and pure man, and lias in many respects made an admirable Governor. Yet we cannot endorse his administration. There fore we are opposed to his renomination. —AtA\ inchester. Va., on Monday week at a grand rally of the Democracy, Senator Voor hees, Pendleton and Gordon made speeches. The Washington Post says editorially, that the great feature of the day was the masterly address of General Gordon—an earnest, manly, irresistible appeal to the factions to cease their strife, close up their ranks and unite with the Democracy of other States for the success of Democratic principles. — W e have nothing special upon the Rail road subject tliis week that is not contained the article of Prof. J. AY .Glenn. Our people are in good spirits. The meeting of the board of directors was harmanious and agreea ble. All agree now that the location <d' the route is the next important step. We lack about four thousand dollars of having enough stock, but we think that as the prospects for the road increases this amount will be made up. Daily the matter grows into prominence, .and is being moie seriously considered by our people, News from The Railroad. DI HECTORS READY TO GO TO WORK. Mr. Editor:— Our information from the Jefferson & Gainesville Railroad is most en couraging. We have assurances that the subscription at the other end of the line is already secured. In this county so much of the stock lias been taken that the directors feel fully au thorized to commence the work. We hear that their prompt action is caus ing some, who would take stock, to hesitate in giving 11s their names and subscriptions. It is said, that they fear large assessments will be called in immediately; and as it is ditlicult to command cash at this season of the year, they think they may not be able to meet the obligation promptly : To all such I say. dismiss these fears immediately. There is not the least probability that any heavy draft will be made on the subscription before stockholders will have ample time to provide the means of payment. It is proposed now, that only about one or one and a half per cent shall he called in ut the present, for the purpose of surveying the routes and locating the line. We have the instruments already, and no heavy tax will be needed till fall: and even then, no large proportion of the subscriptions will be required. The stock will be needed only as the work progresses, which may extend through many months after the first dirt has been moved. So friends do not hesitate any longer. It is now more than probable than the road will be built and will he completed a3 soon as practicable. Come forward promptly and subscribe lib erally. that we may have the road iu good running order before tiie fall of 1881. The more abundant the means, the more rapidly will the work be completed. The directors will push forward with all possible speed. The question of a branch to Jug Tavern is left open for future consideration. It is fully decided by the directory to be gin work on the main trunk, as soon as en gineers can be procured. It is full time then, that those living along the proposed routes (and several lines are discussed) make their subscriptions and hand in their propo sitions to secure the location near their houses. Unless such proprietors bestir themselves, they will lose opportunities of making large gains and the chance may never come to them again. I presume that the directors will consent to receive conditional propositions above certain amounts. As said.before, we mean to build the road and we mean to make old Jackson county one of the most desirable in the State. Fellow citizens, we appeal to your pride and your love of home. Come, put j’ourselves in the front ranks again. As you took an advanced position in the storms of war and led other sections in promptness and numbers so prove yourselves leaders in the arts of peace. John W. Glenn. Timely Caution.

Maysville, May Ist, 1880. Editor News ;—Please publish the fol lowing notice in your columns: There will be a meeting of the District Grand Lodge of Good Templars, held with Midway Lodge, near Gillsville, N. E. R. R. on Saturday before the third Sunday in M ay Bros. Hansell and Thrower, and other speak ers, will be present on the occasion. All are invited. H. J. David, D. I). G. W. C. T. The Shot Gun. On last Tuesday evening the shooting of W. F. Hunter by S. M. Starks disturbed the usual quite of our little village : The cause of the shooting was as follows : Starks had been on a spree for over a week and his mind was in a terrible condition, when in this fix some of our boys are disposed to tcaze him and at this particular time someone sug gested to him that he had better get a little ice to cool his head then it was suggested to put it down his back. Bill Hunter proposing to get the ice and put it down his back if John Ross would hold him, this they did and as saw that Starks was mad they ran oil so as to get out of his way. Starks started for his shot gun which was in the Venable building after he went inside some body on the outside locked him in, he then tried to break the door down seeing that he would accomplish his purpose the door was unlocked he came out with a shot gun in his hands, seeing Bill Hunter about halfway bc twen where he was standing and Simpkin’s cor ner lie leveled the shotgun at him and fired the the shot striking Hunter on his right arm and thigh, the shot penetrated about one inch and while not dangerous serious results might possibly arise from the wounds. The serious turn of the affair is regretted by all who had a hand in it the boys intended noth ing but innocent fun and were both partial larly friendly to Starks while we have no idea Starks would have thought of shooting either of them had he been sober. Starks is under arrest and will undergo judicial inves tigation. Tke Dublin Gazette tells of a most brutal act committed by one llenr}’ Rickerson, of Laurens county, a few days since. He was engaged in plowing, and, becoming enraged with the animal, he tied his horse up to a tree and began belaboring it unmercifully. 'Fhe horse, in running around the tree to avoid the blows, pulled so hard upon the hit, that its under jaw on both sides was bro ken. The Gazette says : “ When he was led through town it was an ugly sight to behold. The jaw was hanging down, and the tongue lolled out and bleeding profusety. Dr. Har ris splintered it as well as could be done, and the horse now only lives by sucking meal and water through his teeth.” TO STOCK R AIS.ERS Parties desiring to raise fine stock should ■ patronize inv horse WOOLWINDER.
