•T. C. McMichael, Esq.— Dear Sin:—
Please contradict the report in your paper,
that is being circulated, that I was favoring
anew county which would cut off this cor
ncr < N - E corner) of Upson. There is no
foundation whatever for the report. I have
always expressed myself as being opposed
to having part of our county taken for any
new county movement. We have none to
spare. By inserting the above, you will
oblige yours, F. F. Mathews.
Bound Over. —Wednesday morning two
negro men, from Talbot county were tried
before the Justice court for stealing water
melons from Mr. William, R. Ray! From
the almdancc of watermelons we would sup
pose that they could be obtained without
stealing. Perhaps they were like the sol
dier— “want to keep their hand in.” They
were bound over in the sum of fifty dollars
each to the next term of the superior Court
and committed to jail, as they were notable
to give bail.

High Falls Association. —From a
friend who visited the Association at the
High Falls, which occupied last Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, we learn that the oc
casion was one of interest and pleasure.—
1 he delegations from the different churches
were large, and the number of persons pres
ent Sunday was supposed to he about two or
three thousand. Rev. Mr. Fain was pres
ent and preached. Several from this coun
ty visited the Association.
Drowned.—On Sunday last a negro man
was swimming across Flint River, at Park
er’s Ferry, for the purpose of getting a bat
tenu, to pass some ladies over the river.—
While swimming, he gave out and sunk,
and was drowned before any one could get
to him. The water being colder than it
had been for some time, it is supposed that
he became cramped and sunk. We have
not learned whether his corpse has been
raised or not.
Horse Flesh. —A sensation was pro
duced Wednesday afternoon by the arrival
ot Messrs. Thompson & Hightower’s lot of
line horses. They arc young, serviceable,
and just from “Old Kentucky.” To any
one needing a good horse, we have no hesi
tancy in saying this is the place to itet him.
The reputation of these gentlemen for sell
ing good, sound horses, on the best condi
tions, and at the most reasonable figures, is
too well known in this community for any
comment from our pen. Come and look at
t heir stock and satisfy yourself.
Mr. Editor: Please allow me to acknowl
edge through your columns the generous
confidence of friends proposing my name
as a candidate for the Legislature. As it is
my purpose to pursue the duties of my pro
fession, 1 could not accept the trust if reposed,
alTd write this that my name may not be
before the Nominating Convention.
Hoping that t hestrengt h oft he Democratic
party, may he united for the best interests
of Upson, 1 remain,

Grand Fair.— We have just received
the premium list of the third grand annual
Fair of the Cotton States, Mechanics’ and
Agricultural Fair Association, of Augusta,
Ga. This list has been gotten up with
some changes from the list of the pasfryear’s.
The object of this Association is to show the
people what a genuine exhibition of indus
try is. and what good can he accomplished.
The Association is out of debt. Its grounds
and improvements are valued at SBO,OOO,
and situated within the city. Exhibitors
and visitors from all sections are most cor
dially invited to attend. The Fair will open
to the public on the 22d of October next and
continue live days.
We are under obligations to the Secreta
ry, Mr. Robert Martin, for special favors.
Association.— We noticed last Saturday
and Sunday quite a number of Primitive
Baptist passing through town on their way
to the Association at Shiloh Church, in Tal
bot county. "We learn from those who were
present that there were about thirty minis
ters in attendance. One of the important
subjects before the Association, outside of
religion, was the “Homestead question.”
We are informed that their action on this
question resulted in a resolution that the
church should have jurisdiction over a mem
ber when he took the benefit of the home
stead act, and not be dealt with by individ
ual members. If, on hearing the case, the
member should be justifiable, he is to be
acquitted, and if not justifiable, to be-turned
out of the church. There was supposed to
he over one thousand persons present on
Sunday.
Barnesville Mass Meeting. —lt was
our pleasure last Saturday to beat Barncsviile
and hear the able addresses of General Gor
don and lion. Robt. Trippe. We have at
tempted to give an outline of their speeches'
on the outside. It is very imperfect as we
do not understand and practice phonography
We only regret that we arc unable to give
them in full. If those who were present,
were at all open to reason, there can be no
doubt of their determination, to vote for
Greeley. Unless the “Straights” who heard
them are like the Dutchman, who was de
termined to remodel his dog by cutting off
part of his tail they will not be the instru
ments of Grants re-election. The Dutch
man did not succeed in getting the dog to
look as he wanted, by the first cutting and
he repeated it several times until he had the
most beautiful tail. On examining the other
parts of the dog he found him as dead as
Hector. Now this class of men made their
first cutting in 1864. by clinging to the old
traditions and catchwords of the party—
again in 1868, and now after this cutting the
dog will be dead.
Barnesville High School. —We invite
the attention of our readers to the advertise
ments of Professors Lanulin and Murphy,
Associate Principals of the Barnesville Male
and Female High School- We repeat that
Barnesville is taking the right step. She
intends to build up and lie a'city. No enter
prise w ill have more influence in this way
than good schools. These gentlemen are
highly capacitated to meet the demand in
their new calling, and we commend them
to our readers. The Academy is being
thoroughly renovated and the school will
open on the 16th instant. If you are situat
edsso as to patronize them, fail not to do so.
Invention. —Sometime since we publish
ed a notice of the chair invented by Mr. J.
C. Zimmerman, of Thomaston. A fortune
is about to he realized by him from it. lie
corresponded with E. E. Roberts A C’o., of
New 5 ork, Consulting Engineers and Brok
ers in valuable patent rights. After express
ing them a sample chair, they have examin
ed it thoroughly and write him that they
consider $25,000, for the United States, a
fair price for the Invention. "Whereupon
Mr. Zimmerman has signed a contract, an
thorizing Messrs. Roberts A C'o., to negotiate
for the sale of the invention at’this price or
more if they can get it. If bids arc offered
at lower figures, they are to he refered to
Mr. Zimmerman before the trade can be
consummated. In view of the fact that par
ties sometimes monopolize a business and
extortion, he reserves three States, Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee. As soon as adu
plicate construct is returned from Messrs.
Roberts A Cos., they will he empowered to
negotiate. They think there will be no
trouble in selling the patent at $25,000. We
only hope that they may succeeed and that
Mi'. Zimmerman may realize the reward of
his labors.
Republican Convention.— The Repub
lican Convention, Held in Forsyth Tuesday
last, for the purpose of nominating a candi
date for Congress, to fill the unexpired term
of Don. T. J. Speer, owing to the want of
a full representation from all the counties,
postponed the nomination until the 24th in
stant. r l lie delegates from this county have
returned, and we learn that Judge James
W. Greene’s name was quite prominent be
fore the ( onvention. We also learn that
his prospects for nomination are very good.
We hope to see him nominated, as he is un
doubtedly the best man the party can select.
He has all the time been a good Democrat,
and doubtless is till yet. The people of
Flint Judicial Circuit are likely .to lose, very
soon, his invaluable services as presiding
Judge, and this is about the only way by
which he can be retained as a public ser
vant. lie strictly adheres to principle in
all public measures, has no private preju
dices, is of a firm and unwavering disposi
tion, perfectly stable and consistent in his
political course, boldly and unhesitatingly
i claims the party to which he owes allegi
ance, and advocates its platform, before all,
j without regard to race, color, or previous
condition. His party, whichever one it is,
owes him a debt of gratitude, and we think
this a good time to pay it.
Common Sense. —To-day the delegates
from the different districts assemble in town
fertile purpose of nominating a candidate
for the Legislature. Already quite an ex
citement is being manifested with a decided
promise of its becoming intensified.
The friends of the various aspirants, as
usual, are resorting to all kinds of election
eering tricks, such as tins man “belongs to
a ring,” that one “belongs to the town
: clique,” another says, “such and such can- j
diuales if elected will favor the stock law, ” |
while others, and we believe the most nu- :
mcrous, say “we must have a farmer—no !
other man can represent us—the farmers are
neglected while cvcrv other class of persons 1
j * 1
are provided for. ’ Our little town has in it
no “clique” favoring the claims of any man. ;
We, of the town, are perfectly willing to j
support the nominee let him be selected '
from whatever quarter the delegates may
choose.
Nor do we believe that the farmers desire
a farmer because lie is a farmer. Our opin- |
ion is, after a careful survey of the entire ,
field, that the people desire the selection of j
a candidate who is capable to discharge and ;
who will he faithful to the high trust con
tided to him. Such a course is dictated by
“common sense. ” We believe the delegates
will select a man of this kind, irrespetive of
his profession or vocation, and when so I
selected, it is the duty of every man to sup
port htm. In our opinion the dictates of
common sense will prevail rather than mere
local preferences. Harmony and unity is
1 what we want, and harmony and unity is
what we must have if we succeed.
Since the excitement begun—and our ears
have been made familiar with the above
utterances —we have taken pains to inquire
if there be a ring, and we fin’d no such
thing—nor the least excuse or cause for such
a charge—we have inquired if there be such
a thing as a “town clique,” but we find j
that no such thing exists —we have inquired
if any candidate favors the “Stock law” and
are informed that no one desires to run on
such an issue—and we have inquired if the
farmers were determined to have a farmer
to represent them and have been informed
that no such opinion is entertained by tlie
masses of the farmers. These various charges
and issues arc fabricated and sprung by a
few men who desire tHo success of their
favorite candidate, No man, or set of men,
have considered the nomination of any man
of sufficient importance to form “a ring”
tortlic purpose of securing his nomination,
and some of the very men intended to be
charged with belonging to “the ring” are
taking no interest or part in the selection of
:: candidate.

Woman’s BESt Friend —To relieve the
aching heart of woman and bring joy where
sorrow reigned supreme, is a mission before
which the smiles of kings dwindle into utter
insignificance. To do this is the peculiar
province of Dr. J. Bradfioid's Female Ileg
ulator; which from the numberless cures it
has accomplished, is appropriately styled
Woman's Best Friend. The distressing
complaint known as “whites,” and the vari
ous irregularities of the womb, to which wo
man is subject disappear like magic before a
single bottle of this wonderful compound.
It is prepared by L. 11. Bradfield, Druggist,
Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1,50 per bottle by
respectable Drug men everywhere. Physi
