ed. A good thought in homespun is worth

gests the propriety of calling a public
meeting of the citizens of the .'county to
commune together on these important sub
jects, and requests us to apply to old Han
cock for a lift in the way of speakers for
the occasion.. Y\ e have taken steps to
touch the feeling in that quarter. We

on the list. By the way, we have lomr 1 Sanffersville 2d and 4th Sabbaths, in the
thought of proposing that the two counties j mon ^'
couuty in the State shall fail to be repre
sented. In fifteen State a. and on^Territoiy,
North West and South of us, the issue
of- Prohibition has been* made and earned;
and, as none that have fiiirly made the
Issue before the People have failed to
carry it, it is confidently believed from this
ud other considerations that a large ma
jority of the People of Georgia are also
in favor of Prohibitory- Legislation—and
require only a faiir opportunity to make
their wishes known. Compliance with the
request contained in the foregoing resolu
tion will lead to such an ^opportunity.. In
reminding the Public of this, occasion we
but discharge a pleasant- duty which appears
to be required of us by a highly respectable
body of our fellow-citizens ; and we ear
nestly hope that the recommendation will
not fail to meet with a’hearty response
from the friends of TEMPERANCE of

Clear up our lands and put the utmost
breadth of them in everything necessary
for the food of man; and every particle
that is produced will find an adnirable
market the next year. True, our wheat
crop is already in the ground and its quan
tity cannot now be increased. But our
corn crop may—and that is an article which
pay much bettor next year than either
tobacco or cotton..

I might say in their praise.
I have referred to her and them, merely
by the way, to bring up the enquiry as to
old Washington, which took her name
from the Father of his country, the great
est man that ever lived; and though 1
would not pluck a laurel from old Han
eoek’s brow, it is doing him no injustice to
say that Washington was a greater man
than he was. Then as we bear the name
of the greatest man, we in YVashington
should strive to be the greatest people.—
The question is, what are we doing, and j
what have we done, that will reflect any
credit on us as an Aericulturial
unite in one club, and have alternate Fairs
at Sparta and SandersviRe. What say
our Hancock friends If we can make a
