J. A. Ansley. who ia admirably fitted
for the high position, nod who hy »

fitted for a seaton tho bench of the

tho fifth Monday in October, on nocount
of the absence of many lawyers in At

This adjournment gives general satis

While in Ellnville, we were the recip

We took dinner nt the hotel kept by
Mr. W ; J. Scovill, nod it was a feast
indeed of good things, which wc enjoy-

tho afternoon of the same day, pleas

who is now,“oor dudge.” The month
of October will he a busy one so far as
it regards onr conrts, as many of them
will be held that month, and the senior
expects to he on hand at all of them to
pleasantly interviw his many friends.
Very Funny Indeed.
The following paragraph we clip
from the Macon Telegraph and Met-

It is profitless to us and would be
uninteresting to onr readers to attempt
to discover whether the editorial flings
of tha Slmtkh ItnpcLlcAX, directed at

intended for the correspondent or this

that section to be assured that we re
gard onr correspondent as iar more re
liable than tho Reitbucan. The news
editor of onr staff has some time since
lieen instructed to keep his scissors
and pencil clear of the Republican.
Well, this is refreshing?—bnt it is
now our time to be “tickled” with the
“venom” of tbe^editor of the M«con
Teleyraph and Messenger. It U in
deed amusing for him to bring onr re
liability into question. As to keeping
"his scissors and pencil clear of the
Republican,” we are truly glad
his words to that effect—but w
noticed in some of his papers of a recent
•late extracts from onr p-tpei
that for “high”—may be the articles
good that he could not refrain
from scissoring them. I-nt
handle the same ladle in eating the
;onp that the editor of the Macon Tel

editor of this paper, with other citizem
Americas, care very little whether
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger
copies from this paper or not. The Re-
has rolled for thirty years and
will continue to roll for thirty years

to be mad with everybody and we pre
scribe for him a fnll dose of Stephens

In the language of Gov. A. H. Col

From a telegraph dispatch received

that Jadge J. A. Ansley has been ap
pointed to the Jadgeship of this Judi

between this and the meetieg of the
next Legislature. Judge Ansley i
an in the Judicial role, for s
years ago he most acceptably filled the
position of County Jndge, and by his
decisions while on the bench won for
himself the reputation as being well

Its Correspondent.
The rumor reaches us that the Gov-
lorof the State, in a speech in Ameri-
» oa yesterday, took occasion to make
personal assault upon the editor of
this j ournal. If this be true, our posi
tion,* that his farther appearance in th<
campaign will inure to the injury of
the organization, seems to be establish
ed. When the language of the Gover
nor reaches us in such shape as may be
relied on, he shall have proper and
prompt attention.

tion that an account of Governor Col

would seem that the editor of the Tele
