NISBET TAKES THE FIELD IN OPPOSITION TO SEABORN REESE FOR THE NEXT CONGRESS'. Secretary J. Q. Adams of the Eatontou nass meeting which nominated Col. R. 3 Nisbet for Congress from the Eighth strict, sends to the Home Journal the ollowing transcript of the official pro ceedings: Eatonton,, Qa., June 18, 1880. Editors Home Journal: I enclose you au extract from the pro jeedings of a mass meeting oft the Demo crats of Putnam county, held in Eatonton on the 15th inst. Please give it a place n the Journal. Yours very truly, J. Q. Adams, Secty. The following resolutions’, offered by Judge Leverett and ably seconded in an eloquent and highly complimentary speech by Hon. W. F. Jenkins, were car ried by a unanimous vote: | Resolved, That the Democrats of Put nam county, in mass meeting assembled, present to the nominating convention of the Eighth Congressional district the Hon. R. B. Nisbet as a. suitable person to represent the district in the 50th Con gress of the United States, and that the delegates from our county to said con vention are instructed to cast their votes for him and to use all honorable means to secure his nomination. litxolted, That in presenting to the nominating convention the name of our distinguished fellow-citizen, Col. Nisbet, we affirm him to be a gentleman in every way worthy of the responsible trust. By his gallantry and heroism he illustrated Georgia on the battle fields of Virginia and Maryland; by his courage, ceaseless labor and fidelity to his race and party he contributed much towards redeeming his country and section from Radical domin ion. Asa member of the State Senate, and later as a member of the Constitutional Convention, he served with distinguish ed ability. In all positions in which he has been placed, he has proved himself capable and faithful to duty. We present him without hesitation and endorse him without qualification. On motion of Dr. J. A. Etheridge, the meeting proceeded to the election of del egates to the convention of the Eighth Congressional district. The following gentlemen were elected: W. B. Wingfield, C. D. Leonard, F. Leverett, A. S. Reid, T. C. Spivey, E. M. Brown, 11. A. Jenkins, W. <J. Cofer, W. 1). McDade, M. A. Gorley, J. H. Webster and D. C. Montgomery. Col. Nisbet’s Candidacy. Whether or not Col. R. B. Nisbet, of Putnam, can capture enough counties to defeat Mr. Reese for Congress, is a ques tion to be decided. If he triumphs in the very short space of time given him, it will certainly be one of the most remark able victories in the annals of politics. As is a well-known fact, the Banner- Watchman is not an admirer of Mr. Keese as a Congressman, but as his De mocracy was unquestioned, our paper refrained from entering into any active canvass against him, believing that the voters of our district were fully able to decide that question for ithemselves, and as we had warm friends on both sides we did not wish to antagonize them. But since that Andrews letter ''‘has come to Wfi by which Mr. Reese promises to up hold a Republican m office over -Demo crats, we are free to say that did we now see any chants for defeating him we would certainly use all fair efforts in our power to that end. Personally, Mr. Keese is one of the most genial gentle men we ever knew, and to this gift, in a large measure, he owes l his seat in Con gress. He has certainly not won ,the * ora P°. s >tio n through fitness for the omce, for his record as a Congressman nas been, and will continue to be, we pre dict, a perfect blank. You might place m the chair belonging to the Eighth Georgia district in the House of Represen ratives at Washington an Egyptian mum my that has been dead 3,000 years, and hir.

SCARCELY A QUEBTIOM THAT CARLTON WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED. Hancock and Greene have selected Reese delegates. The other counties are yet to act, and we regard the issue as doubtful. Mr. Reese will have to secure ten more votes to have a majority in the convention. The closeness of the vote in Greene throws doubt over the final result. Since the above was “set up” Putnam county has appounted delegates to the convention, instructed for Col. Nisbet with Seab Reese as second choice; and Col. 11. H. Carlton has formally retired from the race in favor of Cof. Nisbet. This action leaves no doubt as to Reese’s nomination. While Col. Nisbet is a good man and a deserving one, there is no chance to overcome the disadvantages under which he labors. It will not be possible to concentrate Carlton’s follow ing on him, and so Reese will have plain sailing.-r-Sparta Ishmalite. Clarke for Nisbet. Athens, June 18.—The patriotic and manly resignation of Hon. H. H. Carlton from the Congressional race in the Eighth district is admired by all classes of citi zens here. Party harmony is what he desires, and gallantly he resigns in Col. R. T Nisbet’s favor against Judge Reese. Cl&i ke will cast her vote for Put nam’s candidate now, and it can be put down as a fact when I say that this part of the district will be a unit for Colonel Nisbet. * ' Would Have been Nominated. ♦ _____ The table in the Eighth district stands: For Reese, 8; for Nisbet, 4. Nine coun ties, representing 22 votes, are yet to act. If Nisbet can carry the counties that would have gone for Carlton, he will be nominated. The people want a change. Seab Reese is a good man to change from, and R. B. Nisbet is a good man to change to. —Eatonton Messenger. He Wanted Carlton. Prof. Terrell Wingfield came to Eaton ton Tuesday to join his brother Wat in voting for Gordon. It is also whispered that the Professor had a Carlton ticket concealed about his person. —Messenger. Eighth Congressional District. Under new basis of representation the counties in the Eighth will be entitled each to the following votes in the nom inating convention: County. No. Rep- Vote in resentatives. Convention.

An esteemed correspondent in Greene writes that the Chronicle has accused the people of that county, of “trading” votes. Our friend also sends us an answer to the charge from the Greenesboro Herald, de nying that there was trading or trickery or treachery on the part of the Bacon side in the campaign. The Chronicle has never charged such things upon that county. It did say that in the last local fight for Congressional delegates the friends of Major Bacon, who controll ed both papers and who probably were in the lead in that county, allowed their Gubernatorial preferences to sink and to suffer in the Congressional contest. And we still believe so. The Congressional race became a local issue, one paper ar raying itself against the other paper, both lightening up their support of Ba con, each growing warmer in their sup port of Reese or Carlton. The Herald itself confesses that it was unfortunate for Major Bacon’s friends that the Con gressional election was held on the same day and that “the friends of Major Ba con could not press his claims to that degree they otherwise would have done without injury to their Congressional candidate.” That is the Chronicle’s position exact ly. We did not and do not charge that anything unfair was practiced or that there was necessarily any bargaining or trading of votes. We said Major Bacon was sacrificed—we did. not say he was sold out. But Greene county need not fight over a dead issue now. Her good Democrats, whether Gordon or Bacon men, must heal all animosities, draw up their lines for other contests and see to it always that the party’s interests are best protected and that the best men are put forward. There is no county where sound Democracy is more needed, for the independent element dwells in her midst. Theie is need for unity and harmony, and these the Chonicle will always seek to preserve.—Augusta Chronicle. —lced lemonade—s cents a glass' at Rossman & Gardner’s. —Do you wake up with a bad taste in your mouth?

We have not hitherto paid to this sub ject absorbing attention, because of the wavering condition at times of the enter prise. We have never doubted the fea sibility and utility *t the project, nor have we ever ceased to hope that the railroad would be built from Union Point to White Plains. We speak by authority when we say that the scheme is sanction ed by the people of both towns, and, we believe, by the whple county. Undoubt ed benefit would accrue both to Union Point and Wliitp Plains were the road built, and this result would of course be hastened were it constructed at once. But truth to tell, the enterprise has been hampered by idle and flighty reports and by impatient and impossible expectations and calculations. It is but thirteen miles between the terminal points, but it must be borne in mind that even so brief a span of rails cannot be built in a day. Whether or not the road shall be comple ted all, its friends and projectors must give it time. Not this alone, but it must have money, too. It is a fatal defect of the American temperament that we ex pect too much, and expect it too sudden ly. Thus, a report goes abroad that on a certain day the first spadeful of dirt is to be thrown in furtherance of the railroad. Anticipation instantly takes wings and everything else is on tiptoe. When the promised day arrives the dirt is there but the spade is .not. Then the American pessimist chuckles because the thing has fizzled, and the over-inflated public ex pectation collapses, aad the hopeful American spirit goes into hysterics. Be patient, gentlemen. You must not hope to rise betimes some morning awakened by the whistle that was not in contem plation the night before. The genii of the night do not lay rails and launch lo comotives. These are conquests of time and labor. Nevertheless, the Union Point and White Plains Railroad will be built. _ We predict that, because)it is a necessity. Necessities sometimes have to wait, but at last they have their way, and “gitthar.” Tlie Methodist Festival. The Methodist festival this evening at Superintendent Winter’s lawn, in coitnec tion with the close of Professor Cona way’s academic term, will be beyond doubt a red letter event in the career of royal picnic sociables. The excellent and untiring ladies of the Methodist society have put forth their enthusiasm and strength to excel‘all previous efforts, and if the success of ’the occasion shall ap proach the degree of its merits it will be a triumph indeed. It must lie remem bered that the festival is wholly unde nominational, and that the attendance will be general by all the congregations in Greenesboro. They are all cordially in vited and they are all expected. It will be one of the notable al fresco fetes of the summer, and a rich return of inno cent and real enjoyment will be the por tion of every attendant. The object of the affair is to aid a laudable fund for needful church purposes, and to such an object the hearty and generous response of Greenesboro lias never been weak or wanting. Refreshments and substantial, hot and cold, and of every kind, will be dispensed by the ladies, and a very small charge will be made. There will also be a cake to be voted to the most popular young lady, and fragrant and beautiful bouquets will be sold to gentlemen by a bevy of charming |ittle maidens. There will be other attractions and delights, too numerous to name and too entrancing to contemplate. Come, everybody, and remain to the end. Come at 6 o’clock and get your supper on the lawn for a mere song. Friday Niglit at Union Point. A delightful musical and declamatory entertainment, followed by a delicious in fair, took place at Union Point on last Friday evening. The participants were those who contributed the enjoyments and those who received them. The lat ter class was of course the most numer ous, while the first numbered many well known and popular ladies and gen tlemen of the Point. The affair was for the benefit of the Academy, and will be followed by another at an early date and for the same object. ODDS AND ENDS.

Wist. SUMMER RESORTS. THERE IS NOT A MORE DELIGHTFUL PLACE THAN GREENESBORO. The impatient and perplexed tourist, now that the crisis of time has come when he or she must away for the sum mer, finds himself or herself altogether at sea, because it has been impossible from the obtrusive mass of attractive re treats to select and settle upon a single choice. Some people go abroad from habit rather than necessity. Others fall in with the exodus because it is fashionable and expensive and aristocratic. Others still go forth because it is necessary to their health and recuperation. The first of these classes usually flutter and fritter away a few months annually in Europe and on the Continent, and come back fatigued and demoralized. But as they have nothing to do except to “live” out theirlives to the finish, their weariness does not go into any direction of ntility where it would impede their usefulness, for they have little else to employ them the year round than their leisure. The second class are drawn to the cen tres of frivolity and folly. It is a genuine recreation for a woman of fash ion who has been cooped up through the winter with crimsoned literature in a curtained boudoir to get a sniff of the “salt sea air” in the early summer. Her eatt de tie is the surf bath at Manhattan Beach, and her otium nine dignitate is to 101 l on the burning sand with a bathing suit with blue ribbons. She calls these diversions pleasure, and to the extent that they do dissipate former monot onies it must be “real nice.” The afore mentioned classes, however, are of the papilio family. But there is a class indeed who need diversion and recuperation. It is that lavge class who are toilers in all the great theatres of life. It is the “Ameri can middle class.” They cover every square acre of human industry, and they earn every square inch of fresh air and freedom they getl They are not candi dates for the summer resort sweat boxes and they are not to be burdened by the tonage of fashionable summer toggery. They are in search of rest and health. To them the sand bath that blows shot holes into the cheeks of dawdling fash ion is not the breeze of health. To them the hot air compartments of the sea-side hostelry are not the invfgorauts for worn out nature. They need salubrious moun tain wiuds and sustaining waters; they crave grassy swards and grateful airs; they want rest aud refreshment from the toils and entanglements of home life; they pine for temperate atmospheres by day and mosquitoless repose by night; they must have wholesome and abundant food, good milk and butter, ripe and re dundant fruits and vegetables of the best sort, and fresh and succulent meats. All this they must have at moderate cost. All these they can get at Greeuesboro. Let them try a summer here, and they will most of them remain hero at least long enough to vote. Enon Academy Exercises. * . The public exercises connected with the annual close of the Enon Academy occurred on last Friday, the 18th inst., at the Academy, in the presence of an in terested audience, under the manage ment of the principal, Dr. W. F. Ilailes. The examination of the pupils during the day, we learn, was highly creditable to both the scholars ana teacher. It is to be that not more of the patrons of the school were out to witness this in teresting exercise. The exhibition at night was conducted on a temporary stage at the east end of the building, ana was of a most appropriate character. The platform was highly ornamented with vases of rare exotics and ornate floral designs. The large arbor, built ex pressly for the occasion, was beautifully lighted with hanging Chinese lanterns, and was filled with a large audience com posed of the cultured of the community and a number of visitors from other por tions of the county. The programme was rich in the selections from beginning to end, and, all in all, could not have been excelled. The pupils acquitted themselves well and evidenced thorough training on the part of the principal and faithful industry on that of the students. The Greenesboro brass band furnished the music. Its music was highly enjoy ed and appreciated. —A turtle weighing 250 pounds and 124 eggs were captured on the beach at Cum berland recently. —Mr. A. D. Janes, representing R. D. Cole Manufacturing Company, Newnan, Ga., spent last Wednesday in our city. —Hot! hot! hot!
