During the summer mouths prayer meeting was held every Sunday after noon, atthe fair grounds, under the auspices of the Young Mon’s Christian Association but as the winter approaches these meetings were discontinued. The people of Hilsboro have offered the young men a school house near Mr. E R. Lumpkin’s residence, in which here after meetings will be resumed, begin ning to-morrow at half-paBt 2 o’clock. The Steamer Dispatch. Wo understand that tho Steamer Dispatcli will leave her wharf Monday morning for Carter’s Landing. It will bolter first trip up the river and we hope she may find business enough to justify her in making weekly trips. It may take some months or so to get the line established but when she does, wc feel confident the businees will increase and prove of great benefit to Rome and those along the line ot the river and the counties above. Personal. Col. Glecn desires us to state that he will be absent in attendance at Cherokee Court next week. As he is a candidate, his friends will have to look after the Aldennanic honors for him. Our young friend Frank Huflakcr left Rome last Tuesday for the Vanderbilt University at Nashville. He proposes to pursue a course of Theological studies preparatory to entering the ministry of the M. E. church South. He is a worthy young mau and we wish him great suc cess in his proposed field of labor. May Knight. We had the pleasure of meeting this clever gentleman yesterday. Mr. Knight is the master of transportation, of the Selma Rome & Dalton Railroad, and baring his unfortunate mistake in al lowing any discrimination against our city, in tho matter of cotton freights, makes a popular officer. We trust how ever that he will soon see tho injustice as well as the bad policy of the dis crimination and will restore the old rates. The discrimination is as unjust to the patrons of the road as it is to the City of Rome. If Mr. Stanton must have a Compress it would be better for the road to buy him an interest, in the Press at this place so that he would be sure of his toll let tho cotton go which way it will. With his toll secured he might then be willing to give the people justice. Weekly Cotton Statement. Benj. F.

Fi nally, a gentleman seeing her lack of success advised her to turn tho calf louse. “No,” she replied, “I wns never out-douo in my life, and I will carry it or kill it.” And she did succeed, thin exemplifying the truth of the adage “ Wliero there is will there is a way, .Harried.

While THE COURIER is thoroughly Demo cratic, it has nover surrendered its right to condemn all impolitic measures whether they originate with its own party or that of the oppo sition. No paper can be truly Democratic tnat is not truly independent. To be merely partisan is descending to a level of subserviency THE COURIER will never stoop to. Fealty to the Democratic party is based on the prinoiple that the Democratic party shall be true to the People-—that the machinery of its organization shall bo controlled by the people, and not by tricksters and office-seekers who may desire to use it for selfish purposes and for the promotion of the aspirations and intrigues of rings and cliques. AS A NEWSPAPER, THE COURIER will be found equal to that of any journal in the State with the same advan tages as to its location and field of labor. No pains will be spared to collate such teoord of passing events as to give its readers & general idea of the current news of the day, and to keep thorn posted on all matters affecting their rights and interests. AS A FAMILY JOURNAL , THE COURIER will contain every we.k .elec tions from literary writers as will make it a lavorite in the family circle.
