THE LOVERS L Ait ENT.
BY R. J. GAINfcS.
I wonder if she loves me still.
I’d give the world to know,
To feel that tender, gentle thrill,
I use to feel long, long ago.
Then, ae o’er life’s glttering tide,
We rode on fancies golden wing,
I had wo other thought beside,
That one dear tweet, angelic thing.
I’d freely g‘ve the toil of years,
To see again, that soft sweet gleam,
Welling up unditnned, by tears,
Pure and bright as childhood’s dream.
Ah ! who knows what love beguiles,
My bleedijg heart still longs to know
Beneath those curls and sunny smiles,
Can lurk no bitter, hidden woe.
Could I but taste the nectar sweet,
That lingers in its s ft repose,
I’d fear no clouds we’d ever meet,
IV bile feasting on those lips of rose.
Is th ere no sunshine left for me 1
To heighten thus the joy* of life,
yfnd must my heart still broken be,
And no sweet voice to lull the strife.

The following gem, publish

times at that period. That was th e
golden «ge compared with the prer

very depths of corruption, and private
worth is almost totally depreciated,
and frfiud stalk abroad through tlu*

Letter from the State Capital.
Editor Times: —Atlanta is rather
a dull place jugt now. True the ine
vitable lecturer on Spiritualism is here

very learned and logical speaker too
by the way,
Alexander 11. Stephens is in the
city sloping with his nephew John A.
Stephens, of the law firm of Gartrell
Stephens. lie visited the Sun office
on yesterday for the first time since
his connection with the paper. His
health is constantly improving and the
people may reasonably anticipate her
culean efforts in their behalf from him,
as soon as lie enters upon his Con~

his infamous confeiees, of Louisiana,
passed through here a day or two ago
en route from Washington home,—
Great pity these scamps cannot have
justice meted out to them. Judge
Hopkins the great extinguisher of
crime in the Atlanta Circuit, is now
holding Clayton Superior Court. The
April term of Fulton Superior Court
will begin on the fifth Monday iu
March this year, and it is expected to
last about three months. The united
States District Court is in sesssion in
this city. The petit jury is “half and
half,’ six negroes and six whites are
on it. The Deople here dont exactly
like it, but sooner or later it seems
the nisrsrer will be crowded into all
our juries, in the State, as well as
Federal courts.
The coal dealers and Joe. Brown and
the Herald, are carrying on a wordy
war on the question of discrimination
in the matter of furnishing ooal cars

Savannah, Griffin & North Ala
baua Railroad.— The directors met
at Newuan last week and decided to
put up shops at Griffin at a very ear
ly day. Capt. White, the president of
the road, will devote his attention to
the rapid construction of the
road. He will make Griffiu his
head quarters. His salary was increas
ed by the board, so that he can give
his entire attention to its management.
It is now in a very prosperous condi»
lion and will soon be one of the best
paying roads in the State. The loca
tion of the shops in Griffin will bring
a large number of good mechanics
here with their families, and the road
is bound to to be a great advantage
to our city. —Origin Star,
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1873.
Whitesburg.
This new village, at the present
western terminus of the Savannah,
Griffin <fc North Alabama Rail Road,
has already become a place of great
importance. It is growing very ra*
pidly, and besides its local trade,
which is large, it is the distributing
point for the freights for the entire
State of Carroll. The town is scarce
ly a year old, and yet it numbers a
population of nearly a thousand peo
pie, all of whom seem to be getting
along very well. The following
siness houses have been estab.ished
and seem to be doing a good business
Jones & Cos, miscellaneous goods
and drugs; W. K. Curtis, groceries
and dry goods ; J. A. McMullen, dry
goods and groceries ; Wn. McMillen,
family groceries ; Hogan & Penticost,
family groceries ; Gordon & O’Rear,
restaurant: Velvin <fc Smith, bar, J.
11. Crews, blacksmith ; Smith <fc Rob,
erts, family groceries, etc.; W. W.
Boon, bar ;A. J. Richards, bar. Be
sides these there are some smaller es
tablishments that we are not sufficient
ly acquainted with to comment upon.
CHURCHES, ETC.
There is a good Baptist Church
built, and a Methodest Church in pro
cess of erection. There is also a nice
school house, which cost about $ 1,200,
and it has a very prosperous school,
with prof. H. M. Newton principal,
who is a popular teacher. Number of
pupils between 60 and 70.
There is a vast amount of building
going on in Whitesburg. One steam
saw mill, engineered by the energetic
Cowans, and one plaining mill are con
stantly bugy and fail to supply the Je
maud.
A commodious hotel is managed by
Mr. Harris, a son-in-law of Capt. Ken
drick, with Mr. and Mrs. Marine, of
Sweden, as superintendents. Marine
is a whale of the largest siae, and we
presume that Mrs. Marine is fully
equal to the situation : at all events
the house is well kept and the fare is
good enough for anybody. They are
crowded with custom, and the house
is coining money.
The general appearance of this new
town indicates unusual prosperity, and
there is no doubt but what Whitesburg
will eventually be one of the big towns
on our new Railroad.
NOTABLES.
Among the notables of the town arc
Capt. Kendrick, Joe Boice, Dick Gor
don, Judge Velvin, Rad Morrow, and
Capt. Marine, Capt. Ivendrick is per
haps the hardest worker in the place.
He runs the Railroad, has a good deal
to do with the hotel, and operates
largely in real estate. Uncle Joe
Boice, so well known in Spalding, is a
“ head man.” Having a large for
tune and no small children, he is de
voted to the interests of the place, and
expects to be first Mayor.
DICK GORDON
Is a man that can’t converse, owing to
an impediment in his speech, but with
the aid of an interpreter he makes
himself exceedingly interesting, and is
a real good fellow. He came from
Pike. Judge Velvin is one of the old
pannel of Carrollites. He is clever
and honest, and used to be Judge of
the Inferior Court.
RAILBOAD MATTERS.
There is a temporary stoppage of
the cars at Whitesburg, owing to the
enormous cut at that point, through
solid rook. The depth of the cut is
about 50 feet, and its length about
500 yards. It is a tremendous job,
but Captain Kendrick, who has the
contract, informed us that he expects
od to get through by May, if he has
good luck. He works about thirty
hands in the cut. There are about
one hundred hands grading between
Whitesburg and Carrollton, and as
soon as the Whitesburg cut is dispos
ed of, the snperstucture will be rapid
ly laid to Carrollton.
BUSINESS OF THE ROAD.
The business on the new road is far
ahead of all ex-pectation. Although
the road now has no great terminus,
it is doing a fine paying business, and
another train will be put on shortly.-
Interest on Its debt is promptly
and a good surplus is accumulating.
Since the rgad has been in operation,
no accident of any note has occurred.
Nice little villages are springing up
all along the line, and it is now evi*
dent to any thinking man, that this
road is of immense importance, even
as a local road, and when it connects
with one of the great western chan
nels of trade, its value to our people
can not be calculated in dollars and
cents. —Grffin Star.
..... I.M m *m* » I
DaT We are pleased to note the in
creasing business of the S. G. & N. A.
R. R. It is such that the President,
Capt. A. J. White, has found ti nec
essary to put another train on the
road. There is a train exclusively for
passengers, running on schedule time.
—Neicnan Dispatch.
Earth is Man’s only Abiding
Place.
Those who admire the writings of
Mr. Geo. D. Prentice will be pleased
to read the following extract again :
“ It cannot be that earth is man’s only
abiding place. It cannot be that our
life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of
eternity to float a moment upon its
waves and sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the high and glorious as
pirations which leap like angels from
the temple of our hearts, are forever
unsatisfied 1 Why is it that the rain
bow and clouds come over us with a
beauty that is not of earth, and then
pass off to leave us to muse on their
loveliness. Why is that the stars
which ‘hold their festival around the
midnight thrones,’ are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproachable
glory ? And finally, why is it that
bright forms of human beauty are
presented to our view and taken from
us leaving the thousand streams of
our affection to flow back like Alpine
torrents upon the heart! We are born
to a higher destiny than of earth.—
There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will
spread out before us like the islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which pass be
fore us like the islands that slumber
on the ocean, and where the beautiful
beings which pass before us like shad
ows will stay in our presence forever. ’
Governor Wise.
A correspondent of the Courier*
Journal, writing from Richmond, Ya.,
says:
Any day you may see on the streets
a white haired old gentleman, with a
big head through and a head across,
a powerful face, a florid completion,
russet leather hoots and a muffler
around his throat. This is General
Henry A. Wise. He lives in Chief
Justice Marshall’s old residence, prac
tices law, i* doing well, looks well and
is well He says he was born sick,
and has been getting better ever since.
In fact, he never was so well as he
is now. Os him it might be said
with perfect truth, what Judge Wil
liam Daniel is in the habit of saying
about himself—‘thirty years ago I was
very old : I had the dyspepsia.” Gei.
Wise may not have had the dyspep
sia but he is certainly younger than
he ever was. Fall of life, he is ready
to li chaff ” every man, woman, child
and nigger he meets. * The other
morning, near the new market, I heard
him singing out to an oyster dealer
across the street:
“You send me them oysters'’—he is
not particular about his grammar—
“g >od ones, too; or I won’t have ’em.
You oyster men ought to have barns
acles on your consciences if you’ve
got any consciences, as big as my
thumb.”
The next moment he met an old negro.
“ Good morning, old man. What’s
the matter with you? Aint you hap
py this fine morning? Well, you
ought to be happy-you are free now.”
And so he goes on with everv-body
he meets. He is a perfect mine of
knowledge of all sorts, and his store
of anecdotes,reminiscences and stories,
of eminent men would make the fors
tune of an interviewer.
The Southern Debts.— After all,
we don’t now if there is not some
moral force, at least, in the idea ad
vanced bv Hon. B. H. Hill on the
bond question. It will be remember
ed that he took the ground, that as
Bullock was the agent of the United
States Government, the holders of
these worthless securities should look
to that power for payment. A move
ment has been hinted looking to the
general government assuming the
debts of the Southern States contract
ed since the war, and there is “ equity”
in the proposition. The carpet bag
gers, backed by the military, were the
agents of Congress, receiving no au
thority from the people of the South,
and not responsible to them ; they
contracted these debts under the au
thority from the people of the South,
and not responsible to them; they
contracted these debts under the au
thority of Congress, and they, are not
morally if legally bound for them,
but the general goverment is respon
sible for the acta and contracts of its
creatures. If these debts were taken
off our people, they would take re
newed courage and feel that there
was a hope for the future. —Griffin
New*.
B@“Josh Billings was asked: How
far does sound travel? His idea is
that it depends a good deal upon the
noise vou are talking about. The
sound of a dinner-horn for instance,
travels half a mile in a second; while
an invitation to get up in the morning
I have known to be three quarters of
an hour goin’ up 2 pair of stairs, and
then not have strength enuff lelt to be
heard knocking the door.
Taste for Reading.
“If I were to pray for a taste” says
Sir John Herschcll, “which would
stand me in stead under every variety
of circumstances, and be a source of
happiness and cheerfulness to me
through life, and a shield against its
ills, however things may go amiss,
and the world frown upon me, it
would be a taste for reading. I speak
of it of course only as a worldly ad
vantage, and not in the slightest de
gree as superseding or derogating
from the higher offices, and surer and
stronger panoply of religious princi
pies; but of a taste, as an instrument
and mode of pleasurable gratification.
Give a man this taste, and the means
of gratifying it, and you can hardly
fail of making a happy man, unless
indeed, you put into his hands a tri
fling selection of books.—You may
place him in every period of history;
with the wisest and wittiest; with the
tenderest, and the bravest, and the
purest characters who have adcined
humanity; you make him a denizen of
all nations, a cotemporary of all ages.
The world has been created for him.
It is hardly possible but the character
should take a higher aud better tone
from the constaut habit associating in
thought with a class of thinkers, to
say the least of it, above the average
of humanity. It is certainly possible
that the manners should take a tinge
of good breeding and civilization from
having constantly before our eyes the
way in which the best-informed men
have talked and conducted themselves
in their intercourse with each other
There is a gentle, but perfectly ini
sistible coercion in the habit of read
ing, well directed over the whole ten
or of a man’s character and conduct,
which is not the less efiectual because
it works insensibly and because it is
the last thing he dreams ot. It civil
izes the conduct of men, and suffers
them not to remain barbarous.”
How is tlus for High ?
We don’t like to see a planter work
ing himself to death to raise cotton
with which to buy supplies, that could
be easily made at home.
Wliat would a Connecticut “ col
lard ” raiser think, were he to drop
i down this wav and see his cabbage
| . J °
heads selling at 50 cts each ?
What do our people think of pay
ing from $2,50 to $3 per bushel for
lis h potatoes, which grow profusely,
by being simply planted in the earth.
Is it right that we should buy North,
ern apples at from thirty to seventy
five cents per dozen, when enough of
the very best qualities can be raised
in our own midst to supply the whole
country ?
Is not fifteen cents per pound for
beef pretty steep, when we “ could
have cattle on a thousand hills ” and
raise them at a very small cost ?
Is it not very foolish for our people
to talk about going West or anywhere
else, when we have the finest country
on earth and the only elements of
success required, are energy, industry
and economy?
Are not people standing in their
own light when they fail to build a
factory, which could be built in every
city and important town in the State
at a cost of about one hundred thou
sand dollars, that would scatter thou-,
sands of dollars in their midst, bring
skilled labor amongst the people and
give employment to numbers of the
community, and let their money be
sent off after Yankee goods and t ricks
instead of putting them in such enter
prises ?
Is not the almost universal and ru
inous system of going in debt for
many things people have no use for,
and taking the chances of paying for
them, unwise and bringing our coun
try to bankruptcy and poverty.—
Griffin News.
The Columbus Sun says : “ So
much interest is felt iu our community
in the progress of the North and South
Railroad, and we have heard so many
inquires concerning its present status,
that we determined to settle all doubts
upon the subject, and to this end we
on yesterday made application at the
office of the company, and were in
formed that the company had settled
all indebtedness to Grant, Alexander
ife Cos., in full ; that the company’s ar
rangements for iron are satisfactory,
and that work will be resumed next
month.”

EranJdin Netos,
Why Aunt Sallie Never Mar
ried.
“ Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell
us why you never got married. You
remember you said once that when
you M ere a girl you M as engaged to a
minister, and promised you M ould tell
us apout it some time. Nom% aunt,
please tell us.”
“ Well you see, M*hen I Mas about
seventeen years old I Mas living in
Utica, iu the State of New York,
though 1 say it myself, I was quite a
good looking girl then, and had sever
al beaux. The one that took my fan
cy M as a young minister, a very prom
ising young man, and remarkably pi
ous and steady. He thought a good
deal of me, and I kind ol took a fancy
to him, and things went on until M'e
M ere engaged. One evening he came
to me and put his arms around me,
and kind of hugged me, M*hen I got
excited and some flustrated. It was
a long time ago, and I don’t knoM r
but what I hugged back a little. I
M’as like any other girl, and pretty
soon I pretended to be mad about it,
and pushed him aM’ay, though I M’as’nt
mad a bit. You must know that the
house where I lived M as on one of the
back streets of the tOM’n. There were
glass doors in the parlor, which open
ed over the street. These doors M ere
•
drawn to. I stepped baok a little
from him, and xvhen he came up
close I pushed him back again. I
pushed him haider than I intended
to ; and don’t you think, girls, the
poor felloM r lost his balance and fell
through one of the doors into the
street.”
“ O Aunty ! Was he killed ? ”
“ No. He fell head first, and as he
M’as going I caught him by the legs
of his trousers. I held on for a min
ute and tried to pull him back ; but
his suspenders gave May, and the
poor young man fell clear out of his
pantaloons into a pai’cel of ladies and
gentlemen along the street.”
“ O ! Aunty! Aunty ! Lordy ! ”
“There, that’s right, squall and
giggle as much as you want to. Girls
that can’t hear a little thing like that
M’ithont tearing around the room and
he he-ing in such a M ay, don’t know
enough to come iu when it rains. A
nice time the man who marries one of
you will have, won’t he. Catch me
telling you anything again.”
“ But Aunt Sally, M’hat became of
him? did you ever see him again ? ”
“No ; the moment he touched the
ground he got up and left that place
in a terrible hurry. I tell you it M’as
a sight to be remembered. How that
man did run ! He M’ent out West
and I believe he is preaching out in
Illinois. But he never married. lie
Mas very mode»t, and I suppose he
was so badly frightened that time,
that he never dared trust himself near
a woman again. That, girls, is the
reason I never married. I felt very
bad about it tor a long time—for he
M as a real good man, aud I have often
thought to myself that M’e should
have been very happy if his suspen
ders hadn’t given aM’ay.”
A Fighting Parson.
The Edgefield Advertiser tells the
following anecdote of the late war :
During Longstreet’s campaign in
Tennessee, while a portion of his
army was under a fearful fire of shells
from the enemy at Campbell's Station,
a private soldier within a few feet of
the Colonel of his regiment, had both
his legs torn off. The regiment was
not fighting but waiting orders. The
wounded man was lifted a couple of
yards in the rear to die. Another
private now marched down the line,
under a hail of missiles, and said to
the commanding officer, “ Colonel,
may I have a few moments of prayer
with that dying man ? The Colonel
said, “ Are you a clergyman ? ” The
private answered I am.” ‘Then,
said the Colonel “ do as you desire.”
And the man of God knelt and pray
ed with and for the dying man five or
ten minutes, without moving or sway-*
iug his body, seeming totally uncon
scious of a storm of shot and shell,
which, the Colonel tells us, he never
saw surpassed in fury. In a few days
the praying private was announced in
the field orders as Chaplain of the
regiment—“ promoted for gallantry
and piety, on the fiield.” The regi
ment was the Hampton Legion. The
Colonel was Gary. The private sol
dier was the Uev. W. M. Thomas,
now pastor of the Methodist Churches
of our circuit.
