Editor Thomaston Herald: Please
correct the report, which has been very
body and extensively circulated, that
M illiam A. Miller is not a candidate
toi lax Collector. There is not one
word of truth in the report. W. A.
Miller is a candidate,, has so declared
himself long since, and hopes to be
elected at the next election. If, at any
time, he should decline to allow his
name to he used before the people, he
will let it be known ; and those circu
lating such reports are doing very
wrong, and Mr. Miller great injustice.
It is to be hoped that from this to the
election, no such rumors will be circu
ited. Friend that Knows.
Wanted.— looo BALES OF COTTON
for which we will pay Macon prices less the
actual expenses.

Campaign Address. —We earnestly
ask every reader of the Herald to
peruse the address ofthe lion. John I.
Hall, on the editorial page. Wecheer
fully yield our space tins week for
such an able document. It will speak
for itself if you will lend your ears.
lie has thoroughly and fairly placed
tlie situation with all its surroundings
before you and you have but to act.
r i he vital issues ofthe campaign are
plainly set forth ; the past evils visibly
exposed ; the present political tempest
that is boiling and seething throughout
the land, graphically described, and
the way to appease the wrath ofthe
storm and bring the “old ship” to a
quiet haven pointed out. We would
comment at length if our space would
admit.
Death. —The last sad ceremonies
over the remains of Miss Mary Eliza
beth Greene took place at the Thomas
ton Cemetery last Tuesday morning.
Tne funeral sermon was preached by
the Rev. T 11. iStout, at the Methodist
Church, where many friends of the
deceased and of her bereaved sister and
mother had congregated.
The discourse was touching and im
pivss.ve, and principally on the cer
tainty of death, and the immortality of
the soul. Words ol‘ consolation and
hope were spoken to the grief-stricken
relatives, and the services characterized
by a spirit of Christian faith and love.
Mary Elizabeth was in the bloom of
youth, afflicted from childhood, and
suddenly cut down in early life. She
leaves an orphan sister, a widowed
mother and many dear friends to mourn
her untimely death. To them we ten
der our sincerest sympathies in their
sad bereavement, and hoping that their
loss is Heaven’s gain.
Escaped. —A prisoner charged with
petty larceny made his escape from
Epson county jail last Tuesday. lie
had been imprisoned the day before,
and while the officer who had furnished
him dinner, was bringing water to the
jail he had managed to crawl through
an aperture in the door, and fled. The
prisoner was a colored individual who
was in a “previous condition of servi
tude” before the “late unpleasantness,”
and had deen incarcerated in default
of bail for the alleged offense of steal
ing a shirt and smoking another man’s
cigars.
Thieves and burglars not only infest
the large cities of our State, but have
extended their operations into the vil
lage towns and rural districts; and it
becomes the important duty of every
good citizen to aid in the apprehension
of outlaws who feed upon the vitals of
the country, and bring them to meet
the sentence of punitive j ustice.
Barnesville High School.—ln our
local of last week, concerning this
school, we inadvertently remarked,
“These gentlemen are highly capaci
tated to meet the demand in their new
calling , Ac.,” and we feel that it is but
justice to Prof. Lambdin to remark
that lie lias been engaged in teaching
for the last twenty years, and has been
favorably known to the citizens of Ep
son as a most efficient and successful
teacher for the last fifteen years, dur
ing which time over two thousand pu
pils have received the benefit of his in-
struction.
Prof. Murpliey is a graduate with
first honor of the LTiiversity of Geor
gia, received his degree of Master of
Arts at the last Commencement, and
has selected the profession of teaching
as a means to enable him to accom
plish the greatest amount of good to
his fellow man, and enters con amove
into this noble and laudable occupa
tion.
They have enlarged the buildings,
bought the celebrated apparatus of
Montpelier Institute, to which they
have added by recent purchases direct
from the manufactory, and propose to
conduct a first-class school, with all
the modern appliances and improve
ments- They have all the elements of
success, energy, tact, talent and expe
rience, and we predict for them un
doubted success, and that Barnesville
Avill improve more rapidly than ever.
M oods ox Fire. —People cannot be
too careful about their premises, or
other folks premises, in the use of tire.
- few nights ago some jolly hunters,
it is supposed, were trailing the old
raccoon and the “possum” over the
funn of Mi. Shepherd, who lives near
town, and accidentally set the woods
on fire. The flames spread rapidly
and had almost reached the fencing
around the farm before it could be
stopped. By timely fighting and hard
v ork, Mr. Shepherd and his neighbors
prevented serious destruction. The
damages, however, were considerable
in the burning of wood off Lis land,
'which, by reason of its locality, was
coincident to market, and a valuable
resource during tjie winter season.
Mule Killed.— Our friend Mr. Roe
Y\ ard informs us that somebody shot
and killed one of his best farm mules
last Thursday. The mule had been
running in a pasture, and from the
traces of blood, it seemed that the
shooting was done in a patch of woods
near by. This sort of malicious mis
chief ought to be ferreted out, cspeciall}’
by our farming friends whose property
is so much in danger by such charac
ters. We hope Mr. Ward may find
out the guilty party, and whoever it
may be, be brought to suffer the pen
alty of the law.
Mr. B. 11. Lowe, also, informs us
that he lost amule a few days ago, but
is not yet certain of the cause. The
mule was kept in a stable, and it was
found that its thigh was broken by a
severe wound which is supposed caused
it to die. Who perpetrated the act is
not yet known.
Thomaston, Ga., Sep. 7th, 1872.
Agreeable to a call heretofore publish
ed, several members of the Upson
Guards met at the Court-house and
organized by calling Gen. Thos. Beall
to the chair and requesting W. T.
Cowles to act as Secretary.
H. T. Jennings then addressed the
meeting, followed by others.
It was resolved to meet in Thoraas
ton, on Saturday, 21st inst., for the
purpose of re-organizing the old volun
teer company, and in order to bring
the matter more fully before the people,
(especially those who belonged to other
companies during the war), a committee
was appointed to confer with the peo
ple in the different sections of the
county and urge upon them to come
out and join us and thus enable Upson
to get the benefit of the law which
favors old companies.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
on the 21st instant.
Thomas Beall, Chairman.
W. T. Cowles, Secretary.
Fuss and Feathers. —Talk about
“the land of flowers,” the myrtle and
the orange bloom, the ostrich and ca
nary and every other bird and beauty ;
but none compare with the magnificent
toilet mysferies just arriving at Mrs.
Callie Us. Tlie young ladies go offinto
gushing rhapsodies, and superlative ad
miration at the magnificence and style
of this fall stock of fashionable millin
ery goods; and as to the young men
they are perfectly bewildered at the
galaxy of feminine beauty that gather
there every day to take away the ribbons
and tlie roses, and other things of kil
ling sweetness.
This is certainly one of the most
select and complete stocks of assorted
goods in the milliner}' line ever brought
to Thomaston. Hats, and feathers and
elegant french flowers, line ribbons and
fancy laces, chignons and other novel
ties for tlie hair, velvet and satins and
various other things too tedious to
mention can be had to suit the taste of
all our Upson friends and their visitors.
Call up in the Cheney building and see
for yourselves this new array of beauty.
Mrs. Carrie Payne and Mrs. Callier
will both meet you with happy greet
ing, and take pleasure in your patron
age.
Kine.— The cattle around town are
getting troublesome to some of our
country and interfering with
our barter trade. One of these horned
thieves stole a basket of eggs from the
buggy of a gentleman the other day,
and is still at large unpunished.
We protest against such beastly in
terference with our market luxuries,
and hope the officers of the law will
see to it that barter and free trade are
protected. If these horned monsters
are allowed to eat the butter and eggs
and chickens from the wagons as they
arrive, the hotel business will fail, and
ourepicureans will soon wane and grow
beautifully less.
The fact is the cows make too free
with the fruit and forage of our coun
try friends, and while we prefer chick
ens, we will agree to consume our
quota of beef for a season in order to
improve the market.
Convention.— E lsew here we p übl ish
a call from “Citizen” for a Convention
to nominate a Representative. We
had hoped that the action of last Sat
urday’s Convention would be unani
mously received by all Democrats.
We were never in a more harmonious
meeting. We regret exceedingly that
there should be a split in the party.
Epson, wc have been priding ourselves,
had sheded her Radical hide, and
would in future wear to toga of Democ
racy. This move, if engaged in by
a iiy number of the party, will certain
ly place Radicalism again on the
throne. Will a few men. because their
friend was not nominated, or because
their way of nominating was not used,
place the legislative power again in the
hands of our ebon friends ?
J his move is fraught with strife,
contention, and, we fear, with evil.
As we have no more space, we simply
say that it is the duty of every Demo
crat to support the nominee of the
Convention of last Saturday.
Communicator
Os the many officers of the county,
much has been said al>out each, except
Clerk ol the Superior Court. Having
had much business with the office for
the last four years, and with the pres
ent Clerk, Mr. 11. T. Jennings, who
has so perfectly discharged his whole
duty, I find him equal to or superior
to any man who has filled the office
for many years. He is accommodat
ing and prompt in the discharge of his
duties. He is now perfectly familiar
with the requirements of his responsi
ble office, and should be retained.—
'A hen men occupy positions of trust,
prove their ability, and demonstrate
their fidelity to the best interests of
the people, they should be retained,
llenry is proficient, obliging, honest,
and will serve tlie county as well as
any man. Then let well enough alone.

Serenade. Last Tuesday night
the hearts of dreaming maidens were
made glad with the music of sweetest
song. Among the serenaders were
some of the best musical talent of
Thomaston, the party being composed
of several young ladies and gentlemen
who burdened the soft midnight air
with richest mehxlv.
W bile dreaming Loves were lying still
Listening to the music’s thrill,
a quartette of merry voices rang out
in thrilling accent sweeter than the
sweetest notes of lark or nightingale,
and far more enchanting than Euterpe’s
harp or cithern or Tan Sien’s modern
maestoso.
The queen of night shone fair, pour
ing her mellow radiance and placid
beams upon the seeming doubly in
spired serenaders—her quivering glance
vicing iu delight with their sweetly
blended lays.
And then the loaded silver platter
Caused die nightingales to chatter; "
And each lark did drink a toast
Unto his fairer bird that dost
Not heed the hour; nor sinking moon,
But saith “my mate, let’s sing a tune—
Another tune, before we go;
Let’s sing ’em ’bout that gaiter shoe.’ ’’
Political. —The Democratic Exec
utive Committee held a meeting in
Thomaston last Saturday, and took
into consideration the question of hav
ing a political barbecue in Upson to
gether with other important matters
which came before them. Our person
al views are not founded upon as ex
tensive information from the coutry as
those of the Committee, and we heart
ily endorse whatever conclusion in
their wisdom they arrive at, and tlie
resolution they have adopted. While
it is thought best not to have a barbe
cue, the Committee have resolved that
public speakers be invited to address
the citizens of our county.
The perilous condition of the coun
try, and the great political questions
attending the Presidential campaign,
as well as many others of local inter
est, demand that the people should
reason together and work together by
rules of wisdom and statesmanship.
We give the proceedings of tlie Ex
ecutive Committee in this issue, and
would urge upon the Corresponding
and Managing Committee, appointed
by the Chairman, to secure speakers
for a grand political meeting, the ne
cessity of making arrangements at a
very early day. The good to be ac
complished is much, and the time to
work is short.
Meetixg of Democratic Executive
CoMMiTTEE.-At a meeting of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee of Upson
held this day in Thomaston, the fol
lowing proceedings were had and reso
lution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of
the Committee that a public barbecue
would be of no benefit to the Demo
cratic party, and we would recommend
that no such public dinner be had ; but
that public speakers should be invited
to address the citizens of our county,
at such times as the Chairman shall
appoint; and that our Chairman is
hereby authorized to appoint a Commit
tee of Invitation and Arrangement from
the citizens to invite speakers for such
occasions, and arrange for the same.
F. F. Mathews being the nominee of
the Democratic party as candidate for
Representative in the next Legislature,
tendered his resignation as member of
the Executive Committee, and A. G.
Fambro, of his district, was elected to
fill the vacancy.
The Committee then adjourned sub
ject to the call of the Chairman.
J. A. Cotten, Chairman.
R. F. Patillo, Secretary.
Thomaston, Ga., Sep. 7th, 1872.
By virtue of the resolutions adopted
by the Executive Committee, the fol
lowing named gentlemen are appointed
as a Committee of Invitation and Ar
rangement to invite public speakers
and arrange for a political meeting in
Thomaston, at such time as may here
after be agreed,upon.

J. A. COTTEN,
Chairman Executive Com.
Nomination. —We publish the pro
ceedings of the County Convention in
this issue, and are glad that harmony
prevailed in its action. The nominee,
Mr. F. F. Mathews, is well known to
the citizensjof Upson, and worthy of
their unanimous support. A good
Representative is but an agent, whose
principle is his constituency, and the
candidate of the Democratic party is
one in whose faithfulness we can trust,
and to whom we’can submit the best
interests of our county with an im
plicit confidence. Whatever may have
been our personal preference or choice,
we lend a willing and hearty support
to the nominee, whose availability, hon
esty and integrity in purpose and prin
ciple, will unite the elements of i>er
sonal friendships, political preferences
and party strength, which give to the
citizens of Upson the highest hopes of
his certain election in October, over
whatever candidate the Radical party
may put forth.
Our agricultural friends are sanguine
of a general advancement of the in
dustrial interests of the State, and can
not be more fortunate in a Represen
tative who will unite patriotism, hon
esty and activity, in promoting the so
cial, moral, industrial and political
good of the people.
Let us all unite earnestly against
our Radical opponents, defeat the bur
dens, and wrongs, and corruption they
seek to continue upon us, and throw
off the w eight of misgovernment which
they would continue to fasten upon the
pie and country.
In order to secure the prosperity of
home government, the advancement of
our best institutions, the development
of our substantial resources, and the
return of better times, every voter of
our party should not only give his
voice to the cause at the ballot-box,
but work earnestly and actively to
swell the majority of MATHEWS to
the highest number, and thus vindi
cate these great and good principles
with glorious triumph.
The time from now to the election
is short, but much good can be done
in public affairs by the citizen’s indi
vidual discharge ofpublic and political
duty; and while we are enthusiastic
over the coming success of our party
in Upson, still we urge that every man
must do his duty, for if a single voter
fails it injures his own interest as well
as that of the county.
County Convention. —ln accord
ance with the previous arrangements,
the delegates from the several Districts,
met at the Court-house in Thomaston, !
at 11 o’clock a. m., last Saturday and
organized the Convention.
On motion of Rev. John M. White,
Judge T. A. I). Weaver, was called to
the chair and J. C. McMichael and M.
11. Sandwich, requested to act as Sec
retaries.
On motion, of Col. Seaton G. Day, j
the roll of the delegates names was
called. Judge Brown, suggested that
it might be best for the Convention to
be private in the nomination. Dr. C l .
Rogers, thought it not at all necessary
and opposed the suggestion.
On motion, by him, it was agreed
that the delegates remain inside the
, bar and the spectators, without.
Col. Fambrough moved that a Com
mittee of one from each District be ap
pointed, to prepare business for the
Convention. The motion not receiving
a second, Col. S. G. Day, offered the
following resolution:
Hesolved, That the Convention pro
ceed to nominate a candidate for Uep
resentative, by ballot and that a ma
jority of the votes be necessary to a
choice.
That after the third ballot, the Con
vention will confine the nomination or
ballot to the three persons having the
highest number of votes.
Mr. Kespess, then offered as amend
ment, that a two thirds majority be
required to make a nomination. The
amendment was opposed by Mi'. Blas
ingame, oh the ground of its consum
ing too much time. The motion to
amend was put by a rising vote and
carried by one.
Mr. Sharman, in a few pointed re
marks, alluded to the possibility of a
split in the Convention or at some sub
sequent time, and moved to take a ris
ing vote requiring each delegate to
pledge himself to abide the nomination
and support the nominee, of the Con.
volition. The motion was unaimously
passed and each delegate’s pledge seal
ed.
The motion originally made by Col-
Day, was then put and carried.
On motion, of Mr. Sharman, the
Secretaries were requested to act a*
Tellers.
Here the Convention proceeded to
the nomination by ballot, the first bal
lot resulting: T. S. Sharman, 2; J. C.
Williams, 10; F. F. Mathews, 21 ; Dr.
J. C. Drake, 1; and J. W. Williams,
Neither candidate having a two-thirds
majority the President announced that
there was no election.
The second ballot resulted; T. S.
Sharman, 1 ; J. C. Williams, 9; and
F. F. Mathews, 25.
Mr. Mathews having over two-thirds
of all the votes polled, was declared
the nominee of the Convention.
Col. Fambrough, then moved to
make the nomination unanimous car
ried.
On motion of Col. Fambrough, a
Committee consisting of Messrs. Fam
brough, Rose and White, were appoint
ed to notify Mr. Mathews, of his nom
ination and solicit his acceptance.
On motion of Dr. C. Rogers, Col.
A. G. Fambrough, and Hon. John I.
Hall, were appointed a> Delegates, to
the Convention, to be held at Griilin,
on the 12th inst., to nominate a candi
date to represent the sth District in
Congress, with power to appoint Al
ternates in ease they cannot attend.
Col. Fambrough then introduced
Mr. Mathews, and the President in
formed him of his nomination- Mr.
Mathews addressed the Convention
briefly, thanking the members for the
honor conferred on him by the nomi
nation, and pledged his best efforts for
the good of the people, if elected. He
stated his position in regard to any
move which might be made to cut oil’
a part of Upson, to construct anew
county. He was decidedly opposed
to it, and would combat it, should any
such move overcome before him.
Judge Sharman moved that a copy
of the meeting be furnished the Press
of Thomaston for publication.
Mr. W. F. Respess then moved to
adjourn. The motion was carried; mid
a more harmonious meeting was never
held in Thomaston.
