ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50.
DARIEN GEORGIA^
SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 26th, 18H.
CHRISTMAS.
In the olden time, Christmas was a
social occasion, full if joy and thank
fulness marked by family reunions
and friendly greetings #ud kindly
-benefactious. Each annual recurrence
echoes and repeats the ancient proph
etic benediction, “Peace on earth,
good will to man.” The great histor
ic truths linked with the day, telling
of holier hopes and higher motives
unknown to selfish aims, inspiring
charity, devout trust, observance of
right and discharge of duty, should
impress the mind and perrade the
heart. The recognition of these prin
ciples will insure a happy Christmas,
and carry into the after days pleasing
reminiscences of a time well spent.
Happy Christmas to the young with
fruition of their innocent anticipa
tions. Happy Christmas to the older
with well founded expectations of a
good time coming.
Hon. W. W. Montgomery, of
Savannah, it is rumored, will he Hon.
Wm. Schley’s successor as Judge of
the Eastern Circuit. Judge Mont
gomery was one of the Supreme
Court Judges last year and is spoken
of as an able lawyer. We guess the
appointment of Judge M. will give
general satisfaction throughout the
circuit.

Postal Cabd Dunning. —To duu a
debtor on a postal card has just been
decided by the Supreme Court of
Ohio as unlawful. The court held
that anything so written as to injure
the credit or reputation of any one is
a crime. The decision was made in
a case of a man who dunned a debtor
for an old account on a postal card,
and in that manner made the matter
public to tht detriment of the latter s
credit elsewhere.
A negro committed an inde
scribable assault upon a twelve year
old daughtir of a United States Judge,
in Boston, on the 20th. The brute as

jfi some hope that the child will not
die. Hanging is too good for that
villain.

as a sweet morsel under their tongue

AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA-
It is said that the Savannah Newt
office has ceased using gas. Harris
head answers all purposes.
Charlie Pendleton, of the Valdosta
Times, spends his Sundays in Savan
nah. He informs ns that just as soon
as he gets the consent of a certain Sa
vannah belle he will remain in Valdos
ta and attend Sunday school there.
The Alapaha Forester is offered for
I sale. Frank Evans has bought an in
terest in the Albany News and will
hereafter devote his talent to that
paper. Frank, old fellow, you have
our best wishes.
A young man by the name of Tom
Cloud was killed in Bambridge, the
other day. It is said that whiskey
was the cause of the death of this
young man. Miller did the killing
and they say he was justifiable.
The police force of A lanta present
ed Mayor Spencer with a gold-beaded
cane recently.
The Jesup Georgian wants the tim
ber cutters to go into the stave busi
ness. The Georgian thinks there’s
money in it.
The Pearson Pioneer has been pre
sented with iwo more messes of tur
nips. Oh, how kind some people are.
The Atlanta News says old John
Robinson’s show is the biggest thing
now South. All of our exchanges
praise the old man’s circus.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch says
Ham, of the Macon Star, is now the
father of a little “music box.” That
will do. Next!
All the young people around Haw
kinsville are getting married. The
Dispatch published six marriages in
its last issue, anil it wasn’t a good
week for marrying either. Go to
Hawkinsville, young man !
John D. Carter has severed his con
nection with the Savannah Sun.
Albany had a small sized shooting
scrape the other day. Two men were
wounded.
The Brunswick Band gave a con
cert in Albany last week. Joe Greer
hasn’t been heard of since, and it is
thought he has gone in search of the
P. G. in G. Great anxiety is felt as
to Joe’s whereabouts.
The father of Hon. John Jonrs, the
State Treasurer, is spending the win
ter at Brunswick. Ho is stopping at
the Blain House and likes his fish
and oysters three times a day.
There are three route mail agents
employed on the Brunswick and Al
bany railroad, at large salaries, when
one man could do the work and have
a good time at that, as they only run
a tri-aeekly schedule. However, such
is Radicalism.
Oil" country exchanges are pitching
into Gentry, of the Savannah News,
for saying that it did not pay to ad
vertise in the weekly papers. We
don’t believe Gentry made that re
mark.
A Dr. Nolan had his nose bitten off
in Butts county the other day, by a
Mr. Crabtree. A doctor’s bill was the
cause of it all. The Griffin News says
“when the cold season is over the
first doctor that sticks a Dill at us we
will get his bill chewed off the same
way.”
The Atlanta Herald has this to say
of General Colquitt and the next. Gov
ernorship: We notice almost daily,
in onr exchanges, articles commend
ing this distinguished gentleman and
pure patriot as the next Democratic
candidate for Governor o f Georgia.
Though nearly all of them we find,
expressed or latent, a fear that lie will
not allow the use of his name before
Hie convention. We feel authorized
to state positively that, such is not the
case. While General Colquitt will
not make an officious tour of the State,
he will not decline to let his name go
before the convention.
The Atlanta Constitution lias this:
As an evidence ot what individual at
tention and thorough cultivation can
do in farming, we give the actual
yield of R. H. Hardaway’s filteen-aere
farm in Thom is county, this year:
Six bales of cotton, three hundred
and t wenty bushels of corn, 71 bush
els of oats, 38 bushels of lice, five
banks of sweet potatoes, four tons of
hay, kersliaws and pumpkins enough
to furnish pies during the winter, and
sweet potato-vine hav enough for his
cattle during the winter. An imita
tion of this example throughout the
State would do much more toward
making money cheap than all the
usury laws that can be passed.
GEN.BANKS ON RECONSTRUCTION SOUTH
General N. P Banks delivered a
lecture in Boston, recently, on “The
Reconstruction of the Jsoutb.” He
declared that the financial and busi
ness embarrassments under which tin.
country was laboring were due to
the condition of affairs in the South,
and said that it was impossible that a
portion of llie country should be in
anarchy an 1 its twelve millions of
people suffering an invasion of their
social and political rights, and the
other portions be unaffected. He
traced the history of reconstruction,
and depicted the horrors of carpet
bag government, which had piled up
a mountain of debt and brought the
Southern States to the verge of repu
diation. He spoke favorably of that
portion of the President’s message
referring to reconstruction, but said
that the time must come when it
would be forced upon the people and
the President that tile whole of the
difficulties at the South were on ac
count of the United States officials
holding office there, and it might
come to pass that, by special vote of
Congress, these men would be pro
hibited from taking part in local poli
tics. The people, he declared, were
able to govern themselves, and they
should he allowed to do it. In clos- j
ing, he spoke for the rights of the !
minority. Though he won and not ar
gue that the Southerners could claim
any rights, tin y constiluted a mi gldy !
power. The general government
might crush them out, but we wauted
no more war, no more force, no more
bloodshed. We should strive to find
a common ground on which harmony
betweeu all sections and all classes
can be secured.
“WASH MANLEY ON SASSINSERS.”
Griffin News: The following has
never been told very generally, but at.
the risk of a row we arc bound to tell
it now : Some two years ago Wash
Manley went to Southwest Georgia
fir the purpose of hiring hands, tak
ing the early train from this place.
Arriving at Macon about day break,
a little later than his usual breakfast
hour, he was not prepared to wait
with patience for the 9 o’clock meal
time at the Brown House. But Hav
ing to tough it out, he gladly obeyed
the summons of “Big John” as he
yelled, “Walk in gentlemen, walk in,”
and soon found himself seated at. a
table. Here was another delay, as it
took some tim to fill his order. Wash
saw something in a dish, and being
exceedingly hungry, concluded to try
the contents, thinking they were sau
sages. Getting one in his mouth ari l
chewing it for awhile, lie dropped it
out in a hurry, in fact, quicker than a
fellow would drop a hot iron, and
bawled out. at the top of his voice,
“Here, you confounded nigger, come
here and take these cussed ‘sassin
gers’ away, for the last one of them
are spiled.” He had mistaken cod fish
balls for hotel sausages.
Carl Sciiurz and the Politicians. —
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Evening Post says:
The a.,xiety of both parties about
the political fijtnre is manifest, in lh<*
treatment of Carl Scburz Earnest
endeavors are making by the Repub
licans to conciliate him politically.
Even Cabinet officers recommend of
fering him the Russian mission. On
the other hand ex-Confederate sol
diers in the Senate and House are
urging Missouri Demo rats not to op
pose his re-election to the Senate.
Several private meetings of prominent
Republican Senators have recently
been held to devise anew policy for
the party. Some of them have been
attended by Cabinet officers. No re
sult bus been reached thus far.

CHRISTMAS, 1874.
BY W. J. WARRINGTON.
“The year begins to tremble with decay
Like an old man who leans upon his staff,
And in the graveyard reads the epitaph
Of all his offspring who have passed away.”
Ring out. oh, glad Christmas bells.
And let your wandrons chymings
Like mystic awe, inspiring spells,
Or golden rhunic rhymings ;
Slir all the hidden chords of life
The finer depths of being,
Till ends the sorrow sown in strife
In glorious after seeing.
The earth is full of corn and wine,
’Tis briming o'er witn rich treasure,
Tis wrapt about with gilts divine
And goodness beyond measure ;
Then let us bow our heads, and send
To God, a full thanksgiving,
Forgive our foes, and to our friends,
Cling closer in holier living.
Charleston, S. C., December 12.
A Frenchman intending to
compliment a young lady by calling
her a gentle lamb, said: “She is one
mutton as is small.”
From Florida comes the ro
mantic story of Delia Jones, a full
blooded negress, 40 years of age. She
fell desperately in love with a young
white man, a carpenter, and realizing
the fact that he could never he any
thing to her, she turned her property
into cash ($7,250), left it to him 0;
will, and then went oft and drowuec
herself.
A young lady cleric in a ietai
