tion, and we will be much pleased to at
tend, if circumstances will admit.
Atlanta Daily Herald.—We are pleas
ed to receive the 4th number of the Atlanta
Daily Herald. It proposes to be independ
ent in politics and neutral in nothing. It is
neatly gotten up, presents a fine mechanical
appearance and is ably edited. AVe give it
a cordial greeting and wish it much success.
+-
Board of Education. —Tn accordance
with the law providing for the meetings of
the 'County Board of Education, next
Tuesday is the day for its regular meeting.
By the President’s request, the members of
the Board will meet at the Court-house
Tuesday, for the purpose of attending to
*wck business as may come before it.
Extension.— The bill introduced in the
Legislature, to extend the corporate limits
oi 1 homaston. passed both houses with some
restrictions. The question of extension is ■
to be submitted to the qualified voters of the
present incorporation and to the qualified
voters wlio may he eih cted by the extension
at a time to be designated by the Council.
Fox.—The fox hunting season in these
parts lias opened. Wc noticed yesterday
morning, Air. E. B. Thompson, come in
with a grey strapped on his saddle. lie has
gone out live times this season and caught
three, two old ones and one young. At the
proper time the hunters of Upson and Mon
roe should have the test race they failed to
have last season.
11. M. Gillklanp.— The friends of this
worthy gentleman will see from hie card
that he has renewed his business in Thom
aston and desires to supply the wants of all
who may desire anything in his line, liis
reputation is too well known and his work
too well guaranteed for any particular com
ment from us. Remember him when you
desire, harness or saddles.
Armstrong, Gator & Go.—AVe ask es
pecial attention to the advertisement of these
gentlemen. It, is one of the first and best
houses in the United States. They do busi
ness right and we never hesitate to recom
mend them. They deal in millinery, rib
bons, straw goods, white goods, embroider
ies &c. Our merchants should not overlook
them.
Arbor. —All the friends who can assist
in any way in building an arbor for the As
sociation, are requested to do so Monday
next, 2ci of September, either by money,
labor, wagons and team, wheat straw, posts,
brush, or any other material that can be
used for that purpose. Send to the Baptist
Church. Someone of the committee will
be there to direct the disposition of the ma
terial. Committee.
Bad Road.— AVe have been requested to
call attention, of the authorities to the con
dition of the road leading from the Double
bridges to Thomaston. Its condition, espe
cially near the river is represented quite bad
and should be worked. Let the Commission
ers and overseers look after it and have it in
better order. The time is last approaching
for cotton to be hauled over it and the roads
should be made so good as to be an induce
ment to the farmers.
Teachers. —For months the teachers of
the county have been held in suspense about
tire compensation due them from the State
for services rendered last year under the
public school system. A bill providing tor
the payment of these accounts wass pased
before the Legislature adjentned and the
Governor lias assessed the amount, to be
raised by the tax collector in the fall. Be
patient a few more months and the long de
sired and much needed change will come.
Be Careful. —It is our duty pcrpliaps as
journalists, to warn the young men, when
they call on their sweethearts, not to get
their eyes too close to the temples. We learn
that a younsf man in town, but a short time
since, had the misfortune to get some red
pepper in his eyes, while in the presence of
a lady who had adorned her temples with a
a gaudy pod. We are not able to say how
far the eye must be kept off to guarantee
safety.
Report. —We have been favored with
the fifteenth report of the Board of Commis
sioners of the Georgia Institute, for the Ed
ucation of the Deaf and Dumb, at Cave
Springs Georgia. The}' report theaftairs of
the Institution in a very successful condi
tion and its prosperity unprecedented in the
past. From the catalogue attending the re
port, we notice that there has been during the
past year sixty-one pupils in actual attend
ance Applications for admission or busi
ness letters should be prepaid and addressed
to W. 0. Conner, Principal of the Institu
tion of the Deaf and Dumb, Cave Springs,
Ga.
Dogs. —We learn from an exchange that
dogs make an excellent glue* The Council
would do well to amend their ordinance, by
requiring dogs to wear collars, by establish
ing a glue factory for the purpose of work
ing up the worthless curs (e) of Thomaston
into something useful. T%ere aro ctrtainly
too many for a city of the dimensions of
i homaston, unless then: was a sausage
manufactory.
Cotton. —AVe have a report this week
from a reliable gentleman, who has visited
Taylor county, that the cotton in the south
i eastern portion of this county and in the
western portion of Taylor is suffering much
from the rust. He anticipates much injury
from this source. Mr. E. B. Thompson re-
I ports the appearance of caterpillar in his
1 cotton. While on a short trip in the coun
try Wednesday afternoon, we noticed it was
opening very fast.
Shot. —On Monday last the wife of
Thomas Owen, colored, Vho was living at
Ihe Rock, was shot by carelessness. She
unthoughtedly placed the gun down in a
careless position by her husband. It fell
and the whole contents entered the ankle
joint, resulting in serious injuiy to the leg
and foot.
Our colored fellow citizens, who are in '
the habit of using fire-arms, should heed
this example.
Millinery. —We can assure the ladies
that there will soon be something nice in
the Millinery line, at Thomaston. We can f
guarantee it, because we hope to make out |
a long bill of articles, of the prettiest names
we most ever heard. The ribbons, the
French flowers, the infinitesimal trimmings
for the heads of the dear creatures, and in- j
numerable other articles, for purposes we j
could not even surmise, were ordered, and
will come without fail.
The Right Stei».— AVe have often allu- !
ded to the importance of our town having :
good schools. Our sister town and neigh j
bor, Barnesville, is taking a step in the right
way. AVe notice the Legislature has passed
a bill, authorizing the town authorities to
issue bonds for scoool purposes, &c. Wis. ,
dom and justice are the true supporters of a
Republican Government; and our best citi
zens are those whose minds arc most en- j
lightened and most virtuous.
Music School. —Mrs. Y. T. Thurston
opened her music school on Monday last
under favorable auspices. Her merits as an
instructress in the art of the muses, and her
thorough understanding of the principles,
and the art of combining sounds to please
the ear, should guarantee her a good pat
ronage. Music is too beneficial and too re
fined an accomplishment to be neglected by
young ladies, AVe hope to see a large num
ber studying the properties, dependencies,
and relations of sounds to each other, while
they have such an elegant opportunity.
Meeting and Speaking. —Elsewhere
will be found the proceedings of the Flint
District Planters’ (dub. AVe have been re
quested to publish the proceedings and call
especial attention to the time, of the next
meeting, the 21st of September, when
Capt. J. A. Gotten and our worthy neigh
bor, Mr. M. C. Cabaniss, will address the
meeting. The ladies, by u resolution, have
been invited to be present, and all who feel
an interest in their cause are also invited.
AA r e hope to Lc on hand, and that the occa
sion will be one of instruction and enjoy
ment.
+.
Agricultural Club. —AVe have been
authorized by Dr. G. Rogers, the President
of the Upson County Farmers Club, to call
a meeting of the members, on, Tuesday next,
at the Court-house. AVe have been a mem
ber of this club and know too well its indif
ference. It is to the interest of every farmer
in the country to belong to a club of this
kind. A'arious counties in the State have
a splendid organizations and are prospering.
Several have had sail’s and the State Agri
cultural Society is doing much good in de
veloping the agricultural resources of the
State. Let every member come up next
Tuesday and pledge himself to renew his
energies, and have a splendid county agri
cultural Socl t '.
Hoy. Joils I, Hall. —We received ■»
communication last week signed “Pike, 1 '
urging the natffi of Hon. John I. Hall for
Congress, to fill the unexpired term of
Thomas J. Speer, •deceased. The article j
was just received iu time to be inserted, but |
too late for comment from us, as our paper 1
was then full. Since Col. Hall arrived I
home, he iias informed as that he will not
consent to make the race for the unexpired
term of Hon. T. J. Speer. He also refuses
to allow his name used for the race in the
(present) sth District.
Several friends have requested him to
consent to become a candidate for the Leg
islature, and this he has also refused to do.
He expresses his determination to keep out
of politics and devote his entire time to his
profession.
Black’s Stoke, Aug. 24th, 1872.
Regular meeting of Flint District Planters
Club.
The Club was - called to order by the
President and the report of committees
called for.
The Committee on by-laws had drawn
nothing and were waiting to hear from the
State Secretary, Further time was granted.
Owing to'tlie busy time (saving fodder)
the Committee had failed to procure a
Speaker, but had engaged the services of
Cant. J. A. Gotten and dir. M. C. Cabaniss
for the next regular meeting.
On motion the ladies were specially invited
and requested to attend, and tint the press
of Thomaston be requested to publish our
proceedings, and extend our invitation to all
who feel an interest in our cause.
Adjourned to 3 o’clock, r. >r., of Saturday
before the fourth Sunday in September.
James Zorn, President.
Irby 11. Tkayler, Secretary.
Judge Greene. —The Griffin News &
Georgian, in .speaking of aspirants for the
unexpired term of the 42nd Congress says :
It any Radical Ims to be elected, we want
Judge Green to be elected. Personally, the
Judge is a very clever man, but in his offi
cial capacity, there has been more complaint
of him than any judicial officer we have ev
er known, and if he could get some position
by which he would vacate the judgeship,
the p eople of this circuit would be happy.
Louisville Industrial Exfomton.-
The opening of the Grand Natlouai Indus
trial Exposition in Louisville. l\y., take
place September 3d, and during the exhi
j bition, which will continue thirty-five days
Louisville will be thronged with visitor
from every section bf the county. Tin
reduced fares on railroads and steamboat:
and the grand and varied attractions pro
: sented by the Expositions will warrant ul
who are in quest of pleasure or bent or
buisness to embrace this opportunity to sc(
in her bloom case of tin* most beautiful citie
in the South, and the most superb ant
comprehensive exposition of art, industn
and home products ever offered to the peo
pie of the* A Vest and Southwest, we pn
sume that nearly every one in this peclior
will spend a few days at the exposition this
month.
Grand Barbecue. —lt has l>een suggest
ed, that the people of Upson have a grand
barbecue some time in September. AVt
heartily endorse the suggestion and hope
the county will meet it with favor and take
steps for its consummation. It would have
the effect of increasing and strengthening
the social feelings between us. It would
be a suspension of the routine of daily labors
and a day of teasting and pleasure. Old
comrades could meet and talk of the Hair
breadth escapes and the giant troubles of a
warriors life. The hall of polities could lie
opened and we could talk and speak and in
terchange views on the political issues of the
day. A\ e would lie glad to have communi
cations from the different 'districts in the
county on the question. Each district.could
send us its wishes and suggest a time most
suitable and Hie Executive Committee could
harmonize the different suggestions into the
most favorable time for the masses. Let us
hear from each district as early as possible.
Novel Case. —AVe met on the street
Thursday a colored gentleman, by the pe
culiar cognomen of Ben McKenney. Ben
was much enraged that such injustice should
be perpetrated on him and went on to say,
that a few days ago, lie hired himself to Mr.
Barron to pull fodder. In the eternal fitness
of things the weather saw fit to he excessive
ly warm, while Ben stripped off the corn
blades. In order to bring about a cooler
state of things, Ben divested liis person of
its habiliments except the shirt AVhile i
pulling, some boys Grand his pants and one
of them fled, taking Ben’s trousers with him.
Ben pursued him over hill and dale until he
recovered his pants. On examining the
pocket in which lie had left a five dollar
note, he found it was missing. Then it was
that Ben’s countenance was extended, dis
torted and troubled. lie lias been to see
Mr. Justice Perryman, made out his case,
decided to keep on his “briclies” hereafter
and rests in .the confident hope of recovering
his much idolized ‘’five dollar William.”
Harmony.— There is nothing more essen
tial in the coming nomination for represen
tative, than perfect harmony. There nil*
some who oppose the District system of nom
inating. There were some who opposed
the former system. AVhich lias the majori
ty wc hare no means of finding out. It is
presumable that the former system was the
more objectionable as the Executive Com
mittee after ascertaining as far as it was in
their power to do, that the District system
was most desired, and adopted it. The
Republican party are lying quietly upon
their oars waiting the action of the Demo
cratic party. Every one wlio thinks at all
knows ivhat would be the result of division
and discord in our ranks. The field can't
be left open for every one to take oft* his hat
and make his own race at the election, be
cause our opponents would combine and suc -
ceed. The nomination is an open field, and
every man has a track unto himself. Then
let him rub his joints and make the best
race he can. If beat out in the nomination,
resolve to curry and rub the nominee, that
lie may gain the race and bring victory to
your party. AVit-h harmony and concert of
action, there will be no difficulty in sending
a democratic representative to the House
again for the coming two years.
Mr. Editor: —ls there a political ring in
Upson is a question now being asked. If
there is, all will agree that such should not
exist, and all good and true men should
unite in destroying all such combinations.
Does such a combination exist? it is now
generally believed. I am informed that
such a combination does exist, and that
pledges were made nearly two years since,
and am persuaded to believe that my infor
mation is correct from the zeal and energy
in behalf of the combination by some parties.
If I am a personal friend of a candidate
for office it does not argue that I am, or
should be, his political friend in such com
bination. I have been interviewed as to
the candidate of the supposed Ring, and
when 1 replied emphatically that I would
not support it in the nomination, “1 was not
the man looked for.” My impressions arc
that the five delegates from each district
should be men unpledged and untrammelled.
Asa further proof that such a combination
does exist, I have been informed that the
delegates in Black-ankle District are now
selected, and consist of Messrs. Zorn, John
son, Hays, Gibson and Smith. My infor
mant states that hr was approached and
asked to be Chairman of the meeting with
the suggestion that the above named men
be run in by acclimation before yhe masses
could lake a vote. This as lam informed,
is being done or attempted by a now resi
dent of that district.
Is such right? Is it legitimate? Can
there he any hope of our country recovering
from the effects of the late disastrous war
by such tricks in Legislative Halls or in
country ’? According to the former customs
in our county, to nominate a man was to
elect him, but if this state of affairs still-ex
ists and is persisted in. and there is stabili
ty and moral courage in men, I fear our
next Representative will be Guilford, or one
of his pets,
Let the office seek the man is the only safe
and correct policy, ’'Hootensville.
Aug. 28th, 1872.
Mr. Editor: —As is well known to most
of the citizens of Upson county, I was a
candidate two years ago for the office of
representative in the -Suite Legislature but
withdrew my name trom the nominating
convention on account of some false reports
that had been circulated against me, and of
which I knew nothing until too late to cor
rect them. It is now reported by some of
my political enemies that I sold out to the
Hon. John I. Hall, who was my opponent
at that time, or that there was an agreement
made between myself and Mr. Hall, that I
should withdraw and that he would support
tno at soihi future time If Mr Hall or any
of bis friends had mentioned such a thing
to me I should have regarded it as an insult
and throw n in the Offenders teeth.
The people of Upson count j among whom
I was horn and raised, and with whom still
vests my whole interest, lioth'public and
private, I think know me t<>o well to give
any erediUto stlclv slanderous reports. Hut
r if there should be any who are inclined to
have any confidence in those reports. I would
simply ask that they go to Mr. Hall and his
triends and ask of them if such an agree-*
meat was made. * - *
lu conclusion I would say, that through
the earnest solicitations of friends, I have
consented to become a candidate again for
the nomination ot Representative, and if the
jxmple see proper to confer that honor on
me, 1 shall feel myself under many obliga
tions to them, and if elected to that high
position I shall use every effort to subserve
the interest of mv country. But if they de
ckle to select some other man as tlieir stand
ard bearer, then I am content.

Pike Democracy.—On the 24tli instant
the Democrats of Pike met at Zebu lon and I
adopted the following resolutions:
W herons, An unfortunate difference of
opinion has arisen in the Democratic partv
of Pike county by the agitation of the.Pre.s- I
idential question, which, if not reconciled, j
will produce evil results, if not defeat; be it !
Resolved, That, in our opinion, the sue-,
cess of the party in the county requires that
of action heretofore taken in reference to
the Baltimore Convention and the Presiden
tial election be rescinded; and that each in
dividual member of the partv be left free
a id untrainmeled on that question, mal ing
the advocacy of no set of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency a test of
jiarty fealty. ' .
Resolved, That all minor differences of
opinion or policy, which have heretofore
existed in the party, lc forever bur
ied; and that all true Democrats be invited
to unite upon the old and tried principles of j
Democracy, regardless of all differences
in reference to the Presidential question.
