Mr. Editor: You will please excuse one so unaccustomed to writing for ibe public eye, as 1 am ; but be lieving that many of your readers would like to hear from this part cusp for attempting this p-oimnu this section of country—have but few who dE%if4|belopg to the ag ricultural'dejiaflinent.fcOrops are generally very promising—the recent rains have improved them much. We have at Excelsior a flour ishing school, under the charge of a competent, teacher. Oug school bids fair to be second to none in the wire-grass region. The pat ronage is good, as scholars are al ways coming in (rom adjoining counties, and the trustees are us ing every means jn tbeir power tt> prepare ample facilities lor the accommodation of all who may desire 16" attend. (hi the 4th iiist. we had a little Centennial celebration in the in terest of our SUbboth school. The crowd was large and attentive, We were sorry that the orators, Messrs. Potter and Lane, who were selected for the occasion were provide* tially hindered from being present. The exercises were conducted in a manner which gave entire satisfaction to atl present. After the singing of the sweet hvmn “Come to the Savior,” by the Sabbath school. Elder W. L. Geiger oll'errd up a short and f'aithiu! prayer, alter which the .school sang the hvmn “Hold the Fprt,” which was followed by the reading of the Declaration of In dependence, by Janies W.

F. * * Reidsville (/a. July 10; h 1876. Pursuant to call of Chairman Executive Committee, a meetin" of the citizens of Tattnall County was held this day at Reidsvilte for the purpose of appointing dele gates to the Gubernatorial Con vention to be held in Atlanta on the 2nd of-August. The, meeting being called to or der, on motion, Hon, Samuel Brewton was called to the chair, and W. J. IMey Eaqr. reqnested to net. as Secretary. On mol ion of Isaiah Beasley a committee ofjive wete : appointed by the chairman to nominate del egates to represent Tattnall in said convention, whereupon the chairman appointed S lsaiah Beas ley W. W. Rogers, Jas. 11. Smith, O. W. Smith, ami W.L. Alexander. T tie committee retired and after n brie-f absence returned and re ported the names of 8. P. Smith and Dr. J. Tootle to be voted for by the meetihg as delegates to the convention. A vote of Ihe meeting was then taken, and the candi dates declared unanimously elect ed, wi ll the privilege of appoint ing their own alternates. W. J. Haley then informed the meeting that he had some resolu tions which he desired to offer in regard to the election of State Senators, upon which he read the folio wing, which were unanimous ly adopted. Whereas, in the opipion of tills meeting much of the good feeling and harmony heretofore existing between the counties composing the second Senatorial Dist., in the State Senate, is owing to our faithful observance of the rule known as the rotation rule. And whereas we believe that a viola tion of this rule, in the approach ing election by either of the coun ties of said district, contrary to the wishes of ethers, would pro duce serious discord between the counties, which might result in our defeat, as ff party in said election, and cause' the District to pass again into the hands and under the dominion of the Radical party, a state of things greatly to be deplored, and which we be lieve all good men should earnest ly labor to prevent. Resolve Ist. That we the vot ers of Tattnall County are in fa vor of condoning the rule known as the Rotation Rule heretofore observed by the counties com posing the Second Senatorial Dis trict in nomi ating their candi dates for Sen a lor. Resolve 2nd.’ That any attempt on the part of either of the coun ties of said District to violate ro tation rule, will be sternly oppos ed by us (without the concurrence of all the counties) as tending to disorganize our party and destroy the confluence and good feeling axis ting between said counlies. Resolve 3rd. . That we recom mend a convention of delegates representing the three Couhties composing the 2nd Senatorial District, Lodi eld at, Hinesville on the first Monday ih September, next, for the purpose of nominat ing a candidate lor Senator. Resolve 4th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Hinesville Gazette: and the Dari en Timber Gazette for publica tion. On motion of I. Beasley, it was agreed Giat the Secretary give notice in the official Organ of the County, that a meeting of the cit izens will, be held at Reidsville on the first Monday in August to ap point delegates to the Senatorial Oonvenlipn. „ Also, to adopt a plan for nominating a candidate lo represent us in the next Legis la ure. Upon motion, it was then agreed that the entire pro ceedings of the meeting be pub lished in the Hinesville Gazette. The meetin" then adjourned. SAMUEL BREWTON, Pres. WJf, Daley, Sectv.
