§he £cniltl. THURSDAY, SKPT’BER 20, 1877 COLUMBUS HEARD, Proprietor. J. H. LEWIS, - - - . Editor. Yellow !V\ )‘i'. The fever nf Fernandina, Flu., ip still spreading. The last reports state that the mnrtnlifv is increasing without any prospect nf abatement. The disease is presale't. also, at Havana Vera Cruz and other places and ships are quaran tined in many rf the ports. Tbr'lleiloiiltlaltle] Turk, The latest war news shows tlmigs in a gloomy licitr for the Russians. All the redoubts about Plevna are again in the hands nf tho Turks, and the cap ture of Schipka Pass by the Turks, is reported Both sides are making a desperate fight, but there seems to he a lack of military skill among the Rus sian officers. Tlm* liiitlan IVitf, A hard battle me fought in Monta na, on the 13th, between the United States troops aud the Indians, result ing in the loss of considerable numbers on both sides Crazy Horse, one of -he greatest of the Indian Chiefs, has taken his last scalp. Crazy Horse is said to have been a bad Indian to linn, die. He had killed uiore]pn!c faces perhaps, tlran any other Indian living. Wc venture to say that they will kin dle a fire in the ‘"happy hunting grounds” when Crazy Horse gels there Our <!oiin(.y I'nir. We wrote a short article a week or two ago in regard to the fair to he held here oil the 23d of next month, and we desiro to say a little more about it.— There is no doubt in our minds that the fair will bv a complete success.— The premium list is all that cun be de sired, the officers are men who will suffer no partiality to be exercised,and every effort is being made to make the lair in every department attractive. The main object of a county fair is to advance tho industries of the county —to excite a laudable ambition among the citizens to excel in their particular uvooitions. In examining department A of the premium list, we see liberal premiums offered for the best yields of everything raised on the farm. Now, we have as good farmers in Greene county as anywhere in Georgia, and we want to see them meet at the fair and exhibit their crops, stock, etc. It is the best farmers’ club in the world. is au agricultural fair. In department B, we see equally desirable premiums offered for excellence in all kinds of Domestic luatiufactur s, Sewing. Fancy work by lurid, etc. This, together with department 0, will bo mainly at tended to by tho ladies, and it is to lie hoped that this fair will prove that the ladies of our county are not behind those of any other county in the State, in their domestic characteristics, etc. Let every citizen of the county, who has any interest in Agriculture, Horti culture, the raising of stock, d'unestic works, the fine arts, etc , let all use their efforts to advance these interests. Greene county cm have a good fair.and let’s have it. We will speak further on this sub ject in subsequent Issues of the Herald. For the Herald. The i'nsjlitHtioit'iiu<! Unpitul. Greene County, Ga., Sept. 18 Mr. Editor, I am a plain country man, with do political aspirations to gratify, but I do feel a deep interest in he ratification of the Constitution, and ie location of the Capital in Milledge ille, where it rightfully belongs, and Caere it was put bv our fathers, aiid rom whence it was reu.osed by a mili ary satrap.With these questions settled n that way in 1 teceoiber next. I will eel like day is breaking on my native Id State once more, and it will kindle hope in my breast (that had become most extinct,) that there is yet a, fight and prosperous future for Geor a; but should the people decide oth wise on the first Wednesday in Me mber next, what may wm look for and pect ? A continuation of the rings, tud and corruption which hare had* II sway for the past ten yews -In our able old State, and more still, an in ease in our already burdensome taxes ‘ ix-payers, look to your interest ! vote tr the Constitution and Milledgeville ! ndby that means we wi 1 put on the jrakes, and get back ir.tu the old road once more, whore every true Georgian has longed to travel again. Mr' Editor, sad experience has taught us a large city is not the place for a Capital; it has too many attractions for our servants when they go-there, arid ■causes them to neglect their duties 1 see from the papers, that uiauy of the politicians, both honest and dishonest ones, are in favor of Atlanta for the Capital. Why? Because the fiist class like to make a display and act bc fure large audiences; and the latlir class desire to he lost in a crowd where their individuality will dwindle down to a cipher. Rut let us louk to the in terest of Georgia now. and not to puli-* ticians. Gen. Toombs says, he would not care if the Capital was located at “Lick Skillet!” I agree with him to some extent, if we had the necessary build ings already there, it would be best for the State. My judgment is, the small er the place the more desirable for the Capital. Wo are tor, poor to make any gorgeous display in Government and buildings at this time; in fact, such is not desired or necessary, nor is it the object nf our sort of Government to make display. What we want, (I mean the tax-payers.) is a plain, simple aud economical Government, such as we used to have in Milledgeville, and such as we can have there again if we are only true to ourselves in December next. I have heard much through the Atlanta paper about the insufficient and dilapidated State buildings in Mil led goville. But one of my neighbors wan on a recent visit to the “Halls nf our Fathers,” and he tells me the buil dings are ample and in good condition, and can be put in perfect repair at a very small cost. And besides, I have seen in Judge Thornton’s office and other places in your city, photographs of the Capitol and Executive mansion in Milledgeville, and they are grand and magnificent enough for any State or people in this Union. Your editorial in last Thursday's is sue, on the Capital, has the ring of the true metal in it, and I assure you every man, woman and child in this section of our county indorses every word of it. The Constitution hi- provided for an admirable system of reform and economy for our State, and now let n carry it out fully in December next, by ratifying the Constitution and going back to the “Halls of’our Fathers.” If we do this the old ship will yet land us safe and dry, but if we reject these pro positions, generations to come will cui us for our folly. Yours, OLD FOGY CAPITAL AO!ES. TllF, BOSH OF POLITICS. PRACTICAL MATTERS. OUR STATE FAIR. THE FRAUDULENT PRESI DENT. A LETTER ABOUT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR, [Special Correspondence forllio IJerai/d.] Atlanta, Wednesday, Sept. 19 I will forsake my usual theme ol political probabilities and gossip this week. T 1 is Ido for several reasons, the chief of which is, that it is now so dull as to offer little that could be worked into the fab ric cf an interesting letter, and I then I suppose it is best once in a while at least to think of other matters than politi.es. The dis cussion of political questions or the exchange of political views is al most necessarily resultant iri ex~ oil men t and contention, which,long continued, become so wearisome that quiet reflection on more sober matters is a relief most grateful to the soul. We are too political any how. There are among os too inanv professional politicians who make a living out of the agitation of questions in which they feel no further interest than that aroused by the material benefits conferred When the reign of the politician is over, when the demagogue is a forsii remembered only as a past affliction, a sort of seven plagues in one, then I believe the people wil-1 settle their ow n public matters, easier.cheaper and better, anti that w s will have better men in office and better government in the land. The hopes of such a time are mot e inspiring than certain for we arc surely far from their realization when it becomes necessary to em body in otii' organic law a provis ion to prevent Legislatures from being manipulated by lobbyists.— But this chain of reflection is lead ing me to such a length that I shall have little space for the more practical and peacoalde matter 1 propose to discuss. Somehow po litics is so generally diffused in this glorious country of ours, so im pregnated with it is the very air we breathe, tha* even a poor news paper correspondent cannot get to the discussion of any theme with out wading through a long politi cal preface. But I am through my feet are on the rocks of the practical and I will venture at once a few reflections on THE STATE FAIR, which will open here on the loth of October and continue one week. Perhaps there was never a better prospect for a complete success, presented before the beginning of a State Fair. The Agricultural Society has done much to make the exhibition attractive arid has in sured a fine display of Agricultural products, minerals, mechanical in ventions and manufactures. The live stock department will be full er than it has ever been, already several hundred stalls have been engaged, one gentleman from North Georgia taking fifty to dis play his blooded stock. The city of Atlanta has, however, added the chiet attraction ;n supplying a feature which the society for sever al reasons left out, viz , purses for horse races. By the liberality ol leading citizens a purse’uf -2,DM) has been raised in Atlanta and ha been divided into nine pint es which will insure five days oi extraordi nary racing. Already a large number of Kentucky horses and al so a number from Tennessee have been arr; nged for in the stalls on (lie ‘''Hi!:'.]?, 'I In to will nr >!>ah!y not be less than fifty fine race hursts at the fair. Georgia will be repn>s<tnteij by some of the best loose flesh in the State which is already being trained" for the occasion. On ino last day ol the fair there will he a plantation mule race which will te the richest in the lot tor solid fuu and wdl create as much excitement as the big trotting race open to the world for a £SOO purse or the running race for an equal sum.— There will be a huge crowd here from all over Georgia ; hut we have ample accomodations lor all. The magnifi cent Kimball House can accommodate at least 500 strangers for the low price of S2 a day. furnishing the very best fare aud every elegance that could be wish ed, All will he welcome We h pe to see everybody from Greene here PRESIDENT IIAVES and his UaliiinT will he in Chattanooga to morrow and a leg exeats: n will leave me city tin- ..item on to see him. An effort lias bean made to in duce him to vis f our eiiy amt a ei i zens committee, jvio un e, ..on m (Jliat tunooga and insist on his coming hither., which he will of course not do as he has already planned out a trip though East Tennessee that will prevent. — Most of oyr people dou’t care whether be comes or not. If he does they will treat him courteously out of respect for the high office he fills, but nine out of every ten men regard him as a big fraud, vivo willingly, or not stole the Presidency and put a lasting stigma on that once proud name. But I am drifting back into politics To save iny life 1 can’t help it and to prevent any turiher disaster I will close. \ JACKS. Progress ! Progress ! Traveling Cotton Gin o AND POWER Pill.-8!
