OFFICIAL ORGAN OF
Bodge, Appling and Montgomery.
THURSDAY JUNE is; 1874.
To the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Ge: rgia
Macon, Ga., May 18th, 1374.
Desiring, above all tilings, unity of
action by the Democrats of Georgia
in our Approaching elections, and
knowing the great importance of har
mony in our ranks, 1 have determined,
-with a view to these desirable ends, to
t ail together the Executive Committee
of the party on the first Wednesday in
July, in Atlanta, for consultation. —
Until then, it is desired that no action
looking to nomination of candidates
will be taken by the party. Gentle
men of the Convention, (ho interest of
the people demand your attention.

Judge Green leaf has tendered nis

A good little Bangor boy refused to
spell cider, because lie had signed the

requisite thickness and the boy was
sent to his seat to learn the lesson.
A man applied for a divorce at Bur

But no sensible “patent outside” ed

anything worth patenting, old sorrel.
J. 0. A. llouser, tax collector of
Houston county, is a defaulter to the
amount of $2,370. It is perhaps
needless to remark that Houser is an
able member of the Radical party.—
Executions have been issued against
his securities, and the prospects arc
that he will have a very lively time.
The Atlanta negroes are full of civil
rights. One of them rnet a Mr. Quig
ley in a store the other day and re
marked c sually that lie thought
Quigley would lie. Quigley denied
this with such extraordinary vehe
mence that the colored citir.cn had to
be canied out on a stretcher. It may
be necessary to explain that Quigley’s
denial was attached to a two pound
weight.
In publishing the lists of State
elections which will occur tin's Fall,
many of our exchanges are making a
mistake as to Georgia. They state
that the election in Georgia will take
place on the 14th of October—leaving
it to bojnferred that members of the
Forty-fourth Congress will be chosen
on that day. There will be two elec
tions in Georgia this Fall—-one on the
fourteenth of October for members of
Legislature, and one on the third of
November for Congressmen. In Jan
uary, 1875, county officers will be
chosen.
We observe that some of our ex
changes from Southwest Gcoigia are
opposing con gressional conventions,
for the purpose of nominating candi
dates, but recommend that the Execu
tive Committee appoint a time in each
(ounty, and let the people declare by
ballot who is the candidate.
For our part, we think the old sys
tem of selecting delegates much the
better plan, as under the ballot sys
tem, Republicans and all could come
up in counties where they have a ma
jority, and put some man on the Dem
ocratic party, who in fact would not
l-e a candidate by ;i Democratic vote.
W e say send delegates to eonve -
lions to select candidates.
Cochran.
This neighboring town continues to
improve in every respect. We notice
that Mr. W in. Wade is erecting a set
of I.very stables. Mercantile business
for the cash is dull, though that enter
prising merchant, W. T. McVay, is
doing a heavy credit business in far
mers’ supplies. Cochran has a fine
school under the charge of that effi
cient teacher, Mr. Morgan Winn, and
also has an amateur theatrical club.
Conveniiosi of the 3<i Congres
sional District.
When and where shall this Conven
tion he held ? This question will soon
excite the mind of the Democratic par
ty of this district, and having examin
ed the State map and carefully consid
ered the subject, we are prepared to
say that Ilawkinsville is the proper
place to hold the Convention.
The last Convention having failed
to appoint an Executive Committee
and the congressional districts having
been rearranged, it is necessary to
determine some plan of meeting, and
we suggest the propriety of each
comity in the district sending dele
gates to Ilawkinsville about the third
week in July next, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for Congress
and to select an Executive Committee.
\\ hat say you, brethrenjof the press ?
Ihe Crops. — ihe Albany News says
Since our last many localities have
been visited by good rains, and the
improvement in the crops’ is highly
gratifying. Both corn and cotton are
doing well, and complaints have about
ceased. The oat crop is safe, and is
simply immense. <
Journal : Farmers re
port cotton prospects better. The
exceedingly warm weather we having
at present is of great benefit to the
farmer.
Crops in Hall county are more than
promising
Crop prospects in Burke county are
better now than at any time during
the season.
, Crops in Catoosa county are in
splendid condition. The yield of
wheat is better than in the past twelve
years.
Crops in Murray county arc very
promising.
Crop prospects in Houston county
have materially improved during tie
last few weeks.
Crops in Pierce arc tolerably fair.
Crops in Wilkes county are tolera
bly good.
Crops in Dooly county are very
promising.
Alapaha Forester : Berrien county
will have no debts to pay with the
coming crop. We do not believe that
over 5 or 10 tons of commercial fertil
izers have been used in the county.—
In the absence of burdensome ware
house liens, factors' papers and the
other usual fall debts, we have reason
to hope that this year’s crop will make
our people squarely independent.

Spring Hill, Ga., June 10, 1874.
Mr. Editor : — Have you space in
your paper fora line from Spring Hill ?
Perhaps you arc ready to stop rue
here to inquire where Spring Hill is.
Look upon the geography and you
will probably not find it. Though
there is such a place upon this green
earth; yes, less than one and a half
miles from No. 10 M. & B. R. R., is
this beautiful and pleasant Spring
Hill. Here is the pride of Montgome
ry county. Four years ago this was
a rude oak thicket, with only a leg
church and a camp meeting shed.
Come and look at it now. Yes; some
time when you are flaunting down the
Railroad, stop at No. 10, take a little
strole cast, less than a mile and half,
and you arc in the midst of Spring
Hill. See the commodious academy,
rising majestically above the trees.
Walk in and acquaint yourself with
our teacher. Divest youisclf mean
time, of all frivolity, he is a preacher.
Stand in the lobby and take a retro
spect of the many residences doled
about in the oak grove. Meantime,.if
you should chance to hear a tremend
ous noise overhead, don’t be frighten
ed, there is a huge bell up there, with
which they call students to school
and people to church. And some mis
chievous boy may be amusing himsell
in trying to ware somebody. Take
that diagonal trail running between
the teacher’s residence and the par
sonage for about a hundred yards,
and try about forty drops of that
gushing spring. Dear it roar and
spatter as it piccipitates through the
roof of the bat. In ng house and splash
es upon the floor seven feet below.—
Imagine a jgarig of shirtless hoys
amusing themselves there. Can’t you
almost realize it? Truly nature has
done much for this place, and stupid
man seems to have but just found it
out. But enough of this.
We are just done harvesting oats.
The crop is tme, and never was an oat
crop more needed. Tiie growing corn
crop is improving. Cotton is any
thing but promising, and much less of
it planted in this community than
usual. In fact, the agricultural spir
it seems to be revolutionizing, and a
few years will develop an improved
state of things in the agricultural
world.
Negro labor is daily becoming less
reliable and farmers are training their
matters to abandon it almost entirely
in this section. The passage of the
“Civil Rights Bill” will but cause the
white man to hate the negro worse,
and the more readily to dispense with
him The very stroke of Radicalism,
intended to elevate the negro, will
prove his ruin.
An exhibition at Spring Hill, comes
off on the 17th inst. Come and see
ns. Montgomery.
Koji bi d-A bout.
W e can’t vouch for the correctness
of the way we spoil it, but it’s what
wc want and intend to use, since it is
round-about we’ve been (no swimming
of the head) since we left jointly the
sanctum and type stick in charge of
the “devil” on Tuesday last, on the
fruitless search of flush delinquents.
The first thing we come in contact with
worthy of notice is a party of pleasure
seekers, en route with bout and fishing
tackle for Lumber City in search of
the innocent little fishes. The party
is divided into two squads ; about one
half of whom are aged gentlemen ot
ordinary minds, we suppose them to
be Maccn merchants, and judge them
to be men of only ordinary minds be
cause they apparently knew only
enough to attend to their own affairs,
and were liberal enough to grant the
same light to others. The other par
ty, or a portion of them, were exceed
ingly intelligent, and claim themselves
chosen lights of a section some miles
farther up, in the cultivated arid pecu
liarly blessed region of Barnesville(?)
This party appeared to be passing this
way for the two-fold purpose of enjoy
ment and imparting knowledge to the
poor illiterate of the wire-grass sec
tion, whilst they also hoped to some
what improve the strengh of their al
ready powerful lungs with the view of
becoming adepts in a brass band. We
arc fully convinced as to their superior
intellectual advantages, because po
liteness always accompany intelli
gence, and their very courteous de
portment in presence of the lady pas
sengers was really hard to beat. Then
again notice that they are possessed
of extraordinarily retentive minds.—
Why, sirs, they can go through with
the manual of arms and give the dif
ferent warlike commands as perfectly
as they could the day after tiie surren*
dcr, that niost Wf our citi
zens have entirely forgotten since the
days of Generals Lee and Grant, ’Tis
true we heard a few citizens of Lum
ber City express their dislikes to be
ing awakened by day-break, but vve
paid but little attention to that as we
knew they were sleepv-heads, and be.
sides they were ignorant as to the
emergency of the times. W e should
certainly be pleased to see their re
port to their local sheet relative to the
number and capacity of the saw mills
on the line, the population and names
of the diflorent stations on the Road,
the statue and complexion of the dif
ferent citizens, together with their
present arid jpaideu names, avocations
in life, amount of success attending
each one, etc, as their knowledge of
each must be wonderful. Justice to
wards the few so peculiarly blessed
with knowledge and suavity demands
that we state that a portion of their
party appeared to know but little, and
were not on duty, but not knowing
the names of any we must beg pardon
for our inability to give such perfect
satisfaction as we would wish, leaving
it to themselves and their editor to de
cide to whom belong the laurels, ac
cording to the amount ot valuable in
formation each may be able to furnish.
But we must on ; already this little
narrative is lengthening, and some
good friend must be slighted. We are
now in Lumber City, to which place
we came, after bidding adieu several
good friends in Baxley, more of' whom
our peculiarly timidity forbids us say
ing at present knowing our readers
distastes to so much sameness, in com
pany with our young friend, Millard S.
While here we became the guest ot
our friend, Mr. Archibald Hughes, the
gentlemanly and courteous proprietor
of the hotel, in whose company one
must needs feel at home. While here
we too tried our luck with the hook
and line, but failed to get a bite except
an occasional nibble from the pointed
bili of a ‘yaller’ fly or girly-nipper. —
Arriving at MoVille we found Judge
John Mcßae, Montgomery’s able rep
resentative, awaiting to convey us to
Mt. Vernon ; but at the strong solicit
ation of our friend, Dr, Henry, we
consented to accompany him to Mcßae,
at which place we found upon arrival
he had a quantity of patien(ts)ce.—
Alter arriving here vve discovered that
there was to be a little sociable, at
which some of the boys seemed bent
on having ;; glorious Ject-warming.—
They had well considered everything,
and was prepared with the very best
music, and the services of three young
physicians in case any one fainted
from the effects of the excessive warm
weather. Had vve not been so bitterly
opposed to dancing wc would have
tried our foot, and, indeed, vve must
acknowledge that it was with the
strongest efforts only, together with
our imperfect knowledge, that we
were able to combat the temptation.—
Wc were here the guest of Mr. Alex.
Mcßae, who, we are glad to see, is re
gaining his health, and Dr. Tucker, a
young* and rising physician.
Meeting Judge Me the next day, we
proceeded to Mt. Vernon, where vve
became the guest of Mr. WiMiam Mc-
Rae, vve felt perfectly at home, espe
cially after meeting our young friend
Duncan, than whom there is no one
except twelve, mostly females, we’d
rather see.
On Saturday the Grange met here,
and vve had the pleasure of seeing
several friends and making a few de
sirable acquaintances ; and in the eve
ning accepted an invitation from Mr.
Joseph Adams to accompany bun
home, where we spent another most
pleasurable night under his hospital
roof in the society of his pleasant lady
and family ; indeed we have said
since leaving that if Mr. A. does not
really want to be bothered with our
company he must not. ask us home
with him again. Leaving Sunday
morning, we again came in contact
with the Judge at the residence of Mr.
Daniel McMillan, father of Judge John
A. McMillan, Ordinary of Montgome
ry county.
We had but a short time to tarry
here, it gettieg somewhat late in the
day, but took advantage of the occa
sion to visit for a few minutes the
Wool-Carding of McMillan, Mcßae &
Cos., which we found to be a neat ma
chine, and one calculated in every re
spect to meet the demands of the num
erous wool growers of our wire-grass
counties. We Will take occasion
here to say, that vve noticed that they
use no grease in their wool, and con
sequently the farmer is better paid to
send his wool to this establishment to
be carded, as it therefore costs him
less, even though the rates be some
higher, than to have it carded where
he is cornpe led to pay an equal price
for grease that costs the carder but a
trifle.
On reachilig the riv; r Sunday morn
ing, and finding the ferryman absent,
tiie Judge and I started with the flat
to Darien, but after going some dis
tance down the river anil retreading
vve concluded the lumber contained in
the “pole” and cars wouldn’t pay us at
the present prices for the trip, so vve
abandoned the idea, and brought up
in some bushes, and eventually, bv
dint of niuscular'efforts, landed at the
usual crossing place.
The crops throughout the county is
looking well, especially the com, which
we are glad to see, is the principal
crop this year. And as the farmer is
receiving a full price Tor his wool vve
expectantly look for old Montgomery
to hold her position still in the lead of
her sister counties.
Breaking Ju_Ci cut I y.
BY MARK TWAIN.
‘Yes, I remember that anecdote,’ the
Sunday School superintendent said,
with the old pathos in his voice, and
the old sad look in his eyes, “It was
about a simple creature named Hig
gins, that used to haul rock for old
Malthy. When ihe'jlamented Judge
Baglcy tripped and fell down the court
house stairs and broke his neck, it was
a great question how to brake the
news to poor Mrs. Bagley. But final
ly the body was inti) Higgins’
wagon, and he was instructed to take
it to Mrs. 8., but to be very guarded
and discreet in his language, and not
break the news to her. at once, but do
it gradually and gently. When Hig
gins got there with his sad freight, lie
shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to the
door.
Then he said, “Dogs the widder Bag
ley live here ?”
“ihe widow Bagley ? A To sir !”
“I’ll bet she does But have iUyour
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley
live here ?”
“Yes, Judge Bagley lives here.”
‘Til bet he don’t. But never mind,
it ain’t for me to contradict. Is the
Judge in ?’
“No, not at present.”
“I jest expected as much. Because
you know—take hold o’ suthin, mum,
for I’m going to make a little commu
nication, and I reckon may by it’ll jar
you some. There’s been accident,
mum. I’ve got old judge curled up
out here in the wagon, and when you
see him you’ll acknowledge that an
inquest is about the only thing that
could be a comfort to him. 1
“Resolved," say the colored popula
tion of Kansas City, “in convention
assembled, that negro minstrel shows
tend to degrade our race." And it is
the great wonder in the world, too,
that Sumner didn't say so in the sup
plementary civil rights bili.
BAXLEY DEPARTMENT,
J. ISHAM CARTER, - - Editor.
THURSDAY. JUNE 18, 1874.
The Hinesville Gazette was recently
enlarged, and now it is next to the
best paper in Georgia ; the Times be
ing a little better. We have known
the Gazette a long time, and know it
to be a good paper ; therefore, we
say, “Long may it wave."
We arc pleased to see that anew
public road is being cut from here to
“Tillman’s Ferry,” on the Aitamaha
river. ’Twill be much more conven
ient for persons residing near the riv
er to visit this town. They can avoid
travelling*; at least five miles, and the
increase of the trade, we think, will
soon be observable
We are glad, truly, to see that a
number of sheep have made it conven
ient to make Baxley their headquar
ters. For we were told, when quite a
youth, that they could get tne better
of a certain little insect known by the
very common name of Jlea. This little
nuisance we observe has absconded
since the arrival of these sheep. We
wish the fleas no harm, but if they
again molest us while we are enjoy
ing our midnight slumber, we will un
doubtedly get angry.
Col Gentry is again in town. Me
thinks he contemplates making a
speech to-night upon the subject of
cremation and various other things too
tedious for us to mention. However,
we presume lie will remain in our
midst about one week longer, and if
so, we can but “put him before the
public.” The Col. being our mutual
friend we will continue, as heretofore,
to write and speak in his behalf.
An eloquent address was made at
this place on last Tuesday night, by
the Rev Mr. Cofer in behalf of temper
ance. We 'think he succeeded in con
verting a few individuals in this neigh
borhood who had been in the habit of
indulging rather extensively. We
never imbibe except when prompted
to do so, and then we are remarkably
moderate, especially when anybody
is looking at us, and stares us, as did
the crusaders, right in the face.
Baxley Debuting Club.
This society was organized about
the 15th April, 1814. A number of
the old and young men of this commu
nity, including a few bright lights,
known as lawyers and doctors, imme
diately united in making it a success.
At first, several of the younger mem
bers were greatly embarrassed, when
c-1 ed upon to speak, and owing to
diffidence, they were almost, if not
quite overcome, hence, a failure was
the result upon several occasions. But
show me now the man, who is a mem
ber of this club, and who has been
punctual in attending the meetings,
that is afraid to rise in the presence
of any crowd and debate impromptu
upon any subject that may be sug‘
gested. The young men are energetic
in obtaining points, and invariably
make a strong effort to refute, when
possible, the arguments ot the opposite
disputants. The society has a consti
tution and by-laws, the former of which
reflect great credit upon its author ;
and to these laws the young men
strictly adhere, and every one seems
to f>e perfectly satisfied to be govern
ed—changes are not constantly being
made and laws repealed as in most
societies of a like nature. This club
is now composed of about twenty-five
members, the officers of which are
ever ready 7 to perform the duty incum
bent upon them, and fine interest man
ifested by 7 them shows that they are
aware if the good derived de
bating society when properly 7 conduct
ed.
-In conclusion, allow us to congratu
late you, gentlemen, and ere tlie elapse
of many years some of you will be
marked down as champion orators.
A young lady in North Carolina re
quested to be released from her mar
riage engagement on the ground that
when she contracted it she believed
her lover “a duck,” but has since
found him to be a goose. We can’t
blame her.
“lie has lott a void that cannot eas

A Western editor thinks that the
habit of carrying tobacco in the pistol
pocket is a bad one. To meet a man

possibilities.
“When a man discontinues his local
piper because he feels aggrieved at
something in it, lie merely transfers
his name from the subscription list to
that other list quite as large—those
who borrow the paper every week and
never stop reading it.”
A lady lecturer believes that women
ought to retain their own names when
they get married. She has retained
hers thus fur.
Don't do it. —Whenever a farmer
has a cotton bloom, “the first of the
season,” he rushes franticly to the
nearest printing office, and the editor
who is a kind-hearted fellow,
proceeds to tell the world and the
balance of mankind, that John Plug
ugly has brought in a stalk of cotton
fully two feet high and loaded down
with forms, blossoms and bolls. These
cow pen patches do tne farmer infinite
ly more harm than either the caterpil
lar, boll worm, drought or deluge.—
Because the bears North and South
parade this information, that, cotton in
Georgia is growing luxuriantly One
foolish planter in each county is able
to depress the market and injure all
bis neighbors. The least we have to
say about cotton, the better it will be
for all interested. Ain’t we right, eh?
Ft. Valley Mirror.
The Blue anil the Gray.
That was a happy conception of
General \\ ilcox, that Confederate offi
cers and soldiers be invited to partici
pate in the next re-uninn of the sth
Army Corps, but it was marred by
the appointment :>f a committee to re
port how this double re-union will do.
Of course It will do, and why shouldn’t
it? “\\hat’s to hinder,” as our amia
ble countrywoman, Miss Dickinson,
would say ? The war was fought out
to the bitter end, and the pol icy the
administration struggled for from the
j beginning has been engrafted upon
the country. Both sides have “bung
up their bruised arms for monuments,”
and arc willing to shake hands, in
everlasting peace, over the bloouy
chasm. And why shouldn't they be
allowed to do it ? A grand re-union,
at some central qmint, of the officers
and soldiers of both armies, at lease as
many as can be brought together, will
be more effective to cement a solid
peace from ocean to ocean, than acts
ot Congress, or speeches, or proclama
tions. They 7 know each other’s quali
ties in time of var, and let them now
come together and cultivate the frater
nities of peace. Those who bore the
blunt of battle must live together ;
they are all Americans, citizens of a
gueat country, with a wonderful desti
ny before it. The contact on the field
begot greater respect fur each other’s
courage, just as social intercourse will
establish greater confidence between
the sections. A corps le-uniou would
be too contracted a thing for the grand
love least. Let it be arranged for
18TG, and the Centennial the occasion,
when the officers and men of the two
armies shall coir.e together in hearty
good will, and on the spot where the
Almighty ordained us a nation, let all
hands pledge anew their fealty to the
Constitution and the Union, “one and
inseparably now and forever.”
Ihe time is rapidly coming when
our late civil war will have passed en
tirely into the realms of history. The
question will hardly be asked whether
a survivor of that struggle wore the
blue or the gray, but the memory of
all will be honored alike for the noble
example they gave to the world—of
courage in battle, forbearance in vic
tory, and manly endurance in defeat.
The exploits of both sides will have
added very greatly to the aggregate
sum of American manhood,
Who cares now on which side a man
fought in the great English civil war
of the 15th century ; whether he was
for York or Lancaster ; wore the
White or Red rose ? The heroes of
that struggle arc embalmed in history,
because they were Englishmen, and
fought for the good of England as
they understood it. So we predict it
will come in time to us, when no loyal
Pharisee will lulve the hardihood to
look upon the g< avc of a Confederate
Gray, and whisper, * I am holier than
thou.” —Doyledoven (Pa.) Democrat.
