Rev. J. L. Underwood preaches
at the Bupti t church in this city
every other Sunday. He is a fine
preacher and a good man. May the
church prosper as it never did be
fore, under his ministration.
Finest Melon.—Last week Mr.
F. 0. Fickling, of this county, sent
us one of the largest watermelons of
the season. It weighed forty pounds,
and was most delicious. This mel
on was of the straighout Democrat
ic stamp.
Died.—Mr. Funderburke, an old
and highly esteemed citizen of our
county died on the 24 inst.
Remarkable Discovery.—In De
catur county there was discovered,
last week, a colored man who gets
up two hours before day to go work,
ami never quits work until dark; he
never told a lie or stole anything in
his whole life, and never cuts down
a tree or even a sapling, without
having first asked permission. Peter
Henry, Esq., is the discoverer.
The Southern Cultivator lbr July,
is excellent. Subscribe for it. Ad

Terms, $2 per year.
Personal.—Mr. William War-
fild has returned to the city after a
sojourn ol several months in Arkan
sas. We are glad to note that bis
health is fully restored.
Messrs Hoyle and Dickenson are
working away with a “vim” on their
new mill. This will be a great bene
fit to our city.
Ichabod Cox, for a long time Ex
press messenger to this 'city has
been transferred to a more lucra
tive position on the Florida Rail
road. Success to you Ick.
His Birth Day.—Last Friday
was Jake Born's birthday; and he
like a whole-souled man gathered to
gether his friends—or rather softie
of his friends—and made merry
over popping ale, foaming lager,
ice-cool lemonade, and. the best of
Bourbon—also, -the largest water
melons were slaughtered without
mercy; and royal Havannah’s were
puffed to the heart’s content. Long
may you live and 'flourish. Jacob,
and may your birthday come semi
annually hereafter.
Jake Bern stands in his harness store—
So pleasant and so bland
And every comer to his door—
He grasps him by the hand ;
See here “old fel” bold Jacob says—
I’ll sell yon harness freeley
So bay a handsome set, and go
And vote for Horace Greeley.
Jake has a fine assortment which
he sells very reasonably whether
you vote for Horace or not. '
The Crops.—The corn crop in
some portions of the county is suf
fering terribly from the grass worm
whole acres being entirely stripped
of fodder. The caterpillar—the gen
uine article—is also committing
most woeful depredations. We have
seen them and know what we are
talking about.
J. W. Coachman, Dentist.—This
accomplished and talented gentle
man, we are happy to state, has lo
cated in our midst for the purpose
of practicing his profession. He has
been in Brifzil for several years past,
and a proof of his capacity is, that
his professional services were re
quired by the Royal lamily of that
empire. Dr. C. is well known in
this section. His office is over Pat
terson & McNair’s store.
The Radical Meeting Last
Saturday.—The Rads’had a Grant
ratification meeting at Camp Camp
bell last Saturday. A barbecue was
also one of the features of the occa
sion. Major Whiteley and Louis
Pleasant, a mulatto, spoke pieces.
Of course thej literally tore Greeley
to pieces, and landed Useless S. to
the skies.
The barbecue was rather a slim
affair, we learn—and so desperate
was the wild hunt lor “grub” that
two “cullud du-draps” mixed in
with one another and scratched and
gorged each other most remarkably.
Noihing worthy of.special men
tion occurred.
The Bank.—Bainbridge now has
alive banking house, which is a
real addition tv, *>— e* o -u cl ay ot
our people. We have wanted such
an institution for a long time, and
now it is an accomplished fact. In
connection with said bank is a fire
proof ware-house, so that, the plan
ter can tiring his cotton tcf town, and
if he does not want to sell, why, he
can store it safely away, did w alk
into the bank and get what money
he wants advanced on it. The pro
prietors of the bank are determined
to have funds enough to accommo
date everybody, so that none need
go away dissatisfied. Messrs Wright,
Stegall and John P. Dickinson, arc
tlie able managers of this institu
tion.
To Be Married.—Mr. Simon A,
Wicl left our city for Savannah last
Tuesday, where, he informs us, he
will be married. The hewgag band
must seruade Simon when he re
turns.
Dull! Dull!—Bainbridge looks
now as if it had just returrfed from
a funeral. Why don’t somebody
start up something; some kind of
amusement. . What has become ot
the “shoo flys,” the Thespians, the
anything rise that 50 cents worth of
fun can be be obtained from ?. Echo
answers—where ?
One of the Results of the Hog
Law.—Whit Andrews was coining
over Court House steps a short time
since, and right in front of them on
the ground lay the remains of three
or four water melons. Accidentally,
unintentionally, and unexpectedly,
he stepped upon the slick side of one
ot the pieces; his heels flew up and
head flew down. (The law of grav
itation is apparent.; As quick as
thought he jumped up and remarked
“d—n the Hog Law; if this law was
not in existence, these water-melon
rinds would have been eaten, and I
would not have fallen.”
Filthy.—The accumulation of
water melon rinds in our streets is
fast becoming a nuisance. Ap
point a scavenger or turn out the
hogs.
For Tax Collector.—We refer
the public to the announcement of
Mr. W. C. Thomas in another col
umn. He is a candidate for the
office of Tax Collector of this coun
ty, subject to the nomination of the
Convention. Mr T. is a true Demo
crat, an honest upright man, and
will make a competent officer if elec
ted.

Upon the adoption of the . above resolu

The Democratic party of Decatur county,
in view of the action of the National Demo

inent issue presented to the American people

be maintained or a Centralized Despotism
Instituted in its stead; and recognizing in
the Cincinnati platform those fundamental
principles of our political fabric, by thg
faithful observance of which alone can Con
stitutional Government be maintained and
perpetuated; and further recognizing the
fact that this issue is antagonized in the can
didates of the two great parties, Grant, and
Wilson of the one and Greeley and Brown
of the other, we would as a party most earn
estly entreat all true Democrats, whatever
may have been their past views in reference
to party policy, and all good men every
where, without distinction of party or race,
to unite with us in support of Greeley and
. . xrtBUWing,
E. C. Bowerjmtjp^f-ggj n g amended by
Bfivis so as to give delegates the pow
er of appointing their own alternates :
Whereas, There nas heretofore been great
dissatisfaction in the manner- of holding
nominating conventions in this county, and
in consequence thereof discord and division
among the people; now, for the purpose of
preserving harmony and unity of action' in
the Democratic party; to guard against
packed conventions, and the intrigue of
wire-workers, and for the purpose of securing
to each portion of the county their rightful
voice and representation; to give a full, free
expression of the septdment of the county at
large, and as the fairest and most impartial
manner of holding said nominations, we the
citizens of Decrtur county, here in conven

KEDAR PO WELL, Chairman
W. H. Cbawfoed, Secretary.
Greeley and Brown.
Editor Weekly Democrat:
* It seems that I have been able to
see farther into the dark and mys
terious future than the gentleman
who signs himself “Y. D. F.,” and
who so boldly asserted that I knew
nothing about it, even though I
“had been there myself.” I have
proven that my head and my heart
were both right in regard to this
great political question, for while I
asserted with confidence, based upon
good and sour.d political reasoning
that the endorsement at Baltimore
of the Cincinnati nominees was the
best policy for the Democracy to
•pursue, and the only salvation foi
our beloved country, from Radical
misrule and corruption. I also re
marked that if the Democracy could
with great hope of success nominate
a square out and out Democratic
ticket, 1 would vote it not only will
ingly and cheerfully, but exultingiy.
But the Baltimore Convention have
seen fit in their great political wis
dom to endorse with a most tremen
dous majority and with great and
prolonged applause, Greeley and
Brown. Now then patriotism comes
in and demands yonr support and
your influence. You must vote lor
Greeley and Brown to save your
country from further corruption,
bankruptcy and to prevent civil war
and an anarchtal form of government.
Reformation is Greeley and Brown’s
chief end and aim, and how will
they accomplish this? By recog
nizing the equality of all men before
the law, and by holding that it is
the duty of the government, in its
dealings with the people, to mete
out-equal and exact justice to all, of
whatever nativity, race, color, per
suasion, religious or political. By
maintaining the uniou of the States,
emancipation and enfranchisement,
and to oppose any re-opening of the
questions settled by the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments of the Constitution, because if
ty, Cherokee, Anderson, Novarro,
Ellis, Johnson, Dallas Freestone,
Leon, and San Jacinto, and in pas
sing over these counties and con
versing with old settlers I have
learned-tbe advantages and disad
vantages of the? different farts of
the State.
The Eastern part of the State is
heavily timbered, principally pine,
and except creek and river bottoms
or hammocks, the country is no bet
ter than the piny woods of-the old
States. • This piny woods is changed
as yon go West, to a broken coun
try -covered with scattering pines
and a great variety of oaks, with a
heavy undergrowth of blackjack,
postoak, and scrub hickory. As
you go West you find timber gets
lower and less of it, with here and
there a small prairie, and after go
ing West or North you finally leave
all the timbers except along rivers,
creeks, or branches and the less
timber the richer the lands and the
higher the price for improved lands
and the farther North and West yon
go the better the health.
Texas is so large and has such a di
versity of soil, climate and produc
tion that for a general description
see Texas almanac which is reliable.
I have been,over fifteen or twenty
counties and made dilligent enquiry
about all parts of the State, l am
convinced that the Northern part- Of
the State is the best for fanning,
and I like Ellis, Dallas, Tarrant and
counties in that section better than
any other. -They are the best <coun
ties for small grain. Wheat, oats,
and hay can be raised as. successful
ly there as anywhere in the United
States, and cotton and corn grow
ns well there as in any country
South.
The land is brack generally and the
(•oil has no bottom. In places the
laud is sandy but is not so good nor
will ii last so long.
The face of the country is high gnd
rolling prairie, with timber along the
creeks and branches, and what is re
markable . the higher the hills, the
deeper the soil, but the land is nearly
all level enough to cultivate.
I cannot vouch for the healthful-
riess of tbe-flat swampy part of tbe

crat. Let the people know what
you want.
civil war-would reign supreme in this
land. Murder, rapine, and arson
would be the mid-night work of cer
tain classes. ‘ It would be with fear
and trembling that we would lie
down to rest, and our firearms would
have to be kept constantly by our
side, as in the days of Indian war-
tare. They demand general amnes
ty believing that it will result in tbe
complete pacification of all sections
of the country. Opposition to cen
tralization is one of their leading
principles, feeling'sure that local
self government with impartial suf
frage will guard the rights of all
citizens. I beg of you put aside
prejudice and vote* the Greelev and
.STiWe for^C 1feffiy
offers you justice, reduced taxation,
general amnesty, local self-govern
ment, a speedy return to specie aav.
ments, and that and men
of merit be placed in the positions of
trust. On the other hand Grant
makes you take all the tyrannical
measures that his party see fit to
place upon you, to put your nose to
the grindstone, and grind and grind,
to make you beggars and slaves for
all time to come. He is enfolding
you in the coils of tyranny like the
boa constrictor does his prey, and he
will shortly crush completely your
pride as American citizens so that
you will never be able to resusitate
it, and if he is re-elected he will
tighten his coil and crush you into a
most horrid mass. Divested of your
political rights, you will then be a
slave in its most degraded sense.—
This is most terrible to contemplate.
Under this aspect of affairs, you
will support Greeley and Brown,
and give them your undivided influ
ence. You cannot listen to the
voice of prejudice for one instant.
Look, at the fair proposition they
make you. Take into consideration
the vast amount of political misery
they promise to deliver you from.—
Lend them your support in this
great work of reformation. Now is
the crisis—now 1 now 1 the question
presents itself.
Shall we be slaves or freemen ?
If you do not support Greeley and
Brown the journals throughout the
country will proclaim next fall the
sad news that Grant is elected, and

can he found than Tarrant coomtv.
There are no ponder; no swamps, ho
stagnant water, it is in a climate that
ts neither too hut or cold; ia about on
the same latitude of Macon, Ga. but
being a prairie conntry it gets as cold
there as it does in Northern Ga.
In this county I find more ‘good’
am: less .‘l ad,’ than any I 9ver saw any
where.' ’ ' ’ .
Good land, good water, good tim
ber, health, range, society, schools,
cbuTches, mills," gin*; beg range ia
good and no negroes to steal them—
not much game.—plenty of catfish in
West fork.
In conclusion I will say that many
persons who have always been in the
timber do not like this country at first,
hut ir. my judgment it has more ad
vantages than any place I ever saw,
and I am satisfied that the land here
will go np one hundred per cent, per
annum till it reaches one hundred dol
lars per acre. There are many farms
now th8t could not be bought for fifty
dollars per acre. In faet there are
bnt few men who will price an im
proved place at all
I have given a candid honest state
ment of facts, no exaggeration in the
leost, according to my best judgment.
Tf anvbody is desirions of bearing
anv more than I have written they
can hear from me by writing to me at
Liberty. Respecifally,
