Mayou’s Office, ) Macon, J unc 1,1873, > To the People of Upper and Lower Georgia ; As you are aivare, the Georgia Slate Agricultural Society will hold its next annual Fair at this place, commencing on the 27th day ot October. Every true Georgian is justly proud of his native State—rich in minerals as it is varied in soil—wealthy, indeed, in all that should constitute a people prosperous and happy.—We have here that diversity of production and pecu liar adaption of the various sections to the different industrial pursuits which combine to make up the natural ele ments sufficient for an Empire. In agricultuie, in everything else, harmo nious concert of LCtiou strengthens and supports each scciiou of the State. Lower Georgia has her peculiar inter est to foster and protect, and her great strength to boast ot. The same may be said of upper and middle Georgia. —The city of Macon occupies a grand central position geographically, and her citizens have improved within her 210 W. D. MITCHELL. lt.G.

OFFICE—Front room over Stark’s Confectionary. *r 21-iy limits fair grounds and equipments equal, if not superior, to uny in the United States, lor the a<-commodation of visitors and for the exhibition of any and every article which may be brought here for show. The Execu tive Committee and members of tin* State Agricultural Society have evin ced a determination to make this next the great Fair of the State. The handsome and liberal premium list now being circulated throughout the Stale speaks for itself. An examina tion of its pages will convince every one that the Society means business’. Hut the ‘ county displays” arc* looked forward to as the prominent and great leading features of the Fair, and will doubtless present a grand panoramic view of each county and section such as has never before been witnessed by the people of Georgia. The purposes of this appeal are, therefore, to unite und urge every county in the State, if possible to be represented in some way so that we may nave no blanks in the picture. To do this is a plain, patriotic duty ; a duty which if zealously performed, will conduce to the prosjxjiity and suc cess of every county in the Mate, with out any regards whatever as to which gets the 81U00 premium offered. This premium will of course, go to the coun ty which shall l'urni'h the finest dis play.” llut, as will he seeu by refer ence to the premium list, there are three other handsome premiums to be distributed among other counties, at follows : A premium of live hundred dollars to the county making the second best display. A premium of three hundred dollars to the county making the third best display ; ami A premium of two hundred dollars to the county making the fourth best display. There ate now three prominent counties in the State which are known to be bending aud concent ratio, their vast powers and icsor.rces upon this great contest—oue in Upper Guor one in Middle Georgia, and on. Southwestern Georgia. Othc dies will report progress, and en ter tho list lor compel it mu at the next meeting of the Society, to be held iu Athens next month. ’ JJut while the foregoing county pri zes arc iutcndei! to represent the lead ing features of the premium list, they are by uo menus the most attractive.

Hero we will learn where our own State, each anti every arti cle produced, raised or manufac tured. Our people will here be taught where, in their own country, they may follow that pursuit best suited to their interest and taste, without being forced to linut homes among strangers, as is now too often the case. Exhibitors from Upper Georgia will here find a market for readv sale of much, if not all their perishable articles at full, re munerative prices. In addition to all this much general good must neces sarily grow out of these reunions of many of the thiukingand working m< and women of the country. The spirit of true State pride is fanned iuto nt life-by these meetings,and we forget il wi rc^our individual misfortunes over our mutual success. Let us then de vote one week in next Octobei to tho verv profitable work of meeting and aud discussing the important agricul- tuuil and commercial interest of the da)\ Let it he a week devoted purely to the explosion of false the ories anu putting into practical operation the safe, souud business ideas of the times. Among other things, let us prove, by the variety and merits ol our exposi tion, the great and absolute danger aud folly of looking to railroads, rivers or canals for relief from ‘‘hard times ” Let our Fair in October be the only argument adduced by us to prove thu utter iallaey of the grand idea, that ignis futuus, culled cheap transporta tion, which has so suddenly become the all-absorbing theme among men iu search ot relief. For it may iu time—indeed, it has already—become a set ious question with thoughtful, ob serving men, whether we have not now too much transportation. Our seeming advantages may sometimes become our great misfortunes. That which ofiimes isa convenience^ not al ways a blessing. It may become a vi tal nececessitytor us to inquire whether or hot these immense railroad lines— traversing and corduroying, as they do, our couutry from mountain to sea board—are really feediug or absorbing m ; That trausporatiou which fosters and encourages our improvidence while it depletes our pockets, may be the trausporation least of all others wanted iu this country. And the ob jections now so strongly urged against our railroad systems might not be en tirely overcome by these proposed wa ter lines. It is uot, however, the prac ticability of these grand schemes redtu ing frieghts that we must stop insider—for no mqtttr how feasible they may be, Georgia i- in no condition to wait their completion. Tlnxcmcrgcncy—bread is ujkju us, aud we must £o to work, aud go to work to-dav. We must teach our boys, by precept and example, that the (great virtue of life and the necessity ol the age ts to be tound in the trulu of th old Latin maxiin,“L«5c«r omnia nncit. The people of Georgia should never be dependent upon any line or any trans- jiortatiou for the melt and bread, the hay and the fertilizers used upon their farm*. Such a policy wilj bankrupt and starve out any people iu the world. Show me a man* with a fat smoke hoi^c and a well filled barn, and I will show you a man who is not ntfcctcd by 1>>w priced cotton or high transpor tation. On the other band, point me to that farmer with a lean smoke house aud an empty corn crib, and 1 will show you a miserably poor and mista ken wretch, whose dependent and des titute condition can never be rcaohed by high priced cottou, or relieve! ia auv way by cheap transit tatiou. The truth is, wc have been betting our bot- 50 torn dollar so long on three fatal cards called, ‘‘credit,” ‘‘cotton,” and “cater* pillar,” that we now have nothing left us but our mules and lands ; and in soveu cases out of ten these are pledged to some warehouse firm for supplies o make this year’s cron with. And 50 vet in the face of all this crouching Atlanta, tells the whole story. We suddenly awakened, as it were, from a deep sleep and discovered the un welcome fact that we are a poor, thriftless, non-producing, all-consum ing, dependent people. And just so long as the farmers and planters of Georgia pursue their present mad policy of baying fertilizers to make cotton to buy corn, bacon and hay with, and then pay two per cenl. interest a month for money from April to No vember each year to run this wild schedule, just so long will they be pit iable beggais and borrowers at the doors of transportation officers and Georgia shaving shops, provided a worse fate does speedily overtake them. The truth is, the whole country has become one common counting room shop. What we xc and the hoc, the plowshare and the reaping hook, wc now seek to accomplish by stratur- gy and chance, credit and speculation. Aud we must, sooner or later, come -back to the first principals or we must perish. We have too many able bod- itd young mon iu shady places; too mich tape cutting and pin selling and too little cotton chopping autl hay cuing; too many yard sticks thrown arotnd loose on ’smooth top counters and tot enough hoe handles and plow stocky too many law books and lager beer barrels in proportion to the rail splitting and ditch digging; too much foolish hshion aud foppery, and not enough sledge hammers and saw horses—ii a word too much wholesale idleness. Georgia has to-day, buried in the rich bosom of her varied soil aud preciois mineral beds, greater wealth and g-andcr results than can over be worked out by any canal pro jects or Congressional enterprises.— And how is it e> be done? Not by dreamy theories Lnd mythical plaus, but iu talking corn instead of qanal— in diversifying ane developing our own vast resources—m writing more about home effort and less about for eign immigration—in planting less cotton and manufuctuifcg more yarns. In this, and this only, Mcs the great secret of Georgia’s succeis—agricultu ral as well as financial' and commer cial. We are immensely inch in re sources but miserably--poo*- in hand ling of them. What we want is —honest, hard fisted, intelligent well directed toil, labor and applica tion in developing and utilizing what we have here at home rather llrui many spasmodic efforts to bring from abroad that which wc should not buy. Our poverty, like our pride, is the re sult of misapprehensions and mista ken ideas of ourselves, of our couutry and of each other. The abolition of slavery in the South has developed a vast world of sickly, sentimentnl, lazy, indolcDt, stupified, inert aud unapt population ot youug and middle-aged men, some of whom have know n bet ter days. These men put ou old store clothes, hang around dirty grogshops and dingy hotels, smoke cheap segars aud drink mean whisky, affect old hab its and ante-war style, talk politics a little and curse destiny and tree ne groes more, fiet and fume over tfie re sult of the late war, write and sign up mortgage liens on their cotton crops before they are plauted, pay two per cent, interest on money for nine months in the year and then promise to pay annually in the fall more mon ey per acre for commercial manures to scatter over their lauds than some of them originally cost. And, finally, when inaltcnliou to business and general bad policy ami management have brought them and their State to the extremity and tie petty jealousy is to.be found in the heads and hearts of those engaged in the industrial nersuits. All are ex pected at the Fair in October. Ma con unites with the State Agricultural Society in a cordial invitation to eve- r^county iu the State to be represent ed. It will impart new life, vigor and energy to every industry; it will dis seminate knowledge aud culture among-ihe great masses of tho people; it will kindle a lofty emulation among the working classes; it will present one vast field for testing theories and trying conclusions; it will cement us. as a people, in the bonds of fraternal union, and none shall be deterred from fear of deteat—for the triumph of one will be the triumph of all, and there will be no rejoicing over any defeat. From the ladies we expect much- yes, almost everything. Without their kindly aid and handiwork we shall Stave no Floral Hall, and without that pleasing feature in perfection the Fair cau never be a grand success. The good women of oui country saved ns here, two years ago—without their timely efforts the Fair of 1871 would have’been an immense failure. Their hearty co-operation now is all we want to insure success. Let us then unite in one mighty ef fort to throw together, in one common display, the grand and aggregate spec imen resources of our proud old com monwealth. Let it be such an expo sition of our pride and our strength; such an evidence of our skill and taste, our genius and our energy,' and espe cially of our love for agriculture aud our homes, as shall challenge, in kindness, the competition of the South, while it excites the envy and admira tion of the world. W. A. Huff, Mayor of the city of Macon. ‘Sick Him Tige.” The Bowling Green (Ky.) Democrat says: A few nights ago, a gentleman of this city, as he was going home at a somewhat late hour, heard, iu the dis tance, sweet strains of music, or at least what he suiiposed to be music, but which proved to be principally “straining,” and oilier dismal sounds that seemed to come from a stomach overloaded with green frt it. Soltly he drew near, and at last dis covered whence the sounds proceeded. A youth, over whoso upper lip the barber could uot slip the back of the razor blade more than twice, stood leaning against the gate post his ey fixed upon a chamber window in the second story of the house before him. In his bauds he held & guitar, U]ton which he picked with the air of one who is not certain he is on the right string, while from his parted lips catnc the following song: I have lo-ovotl thc-hf Zula Z >-l<>n|r, FMior thjr-hy 1U« w*» %\\ * *.»-LoDg: Wa-wa La* a cheerful imil-ilr, Wa-wa ba* *u huuxtiiuu all the * Lite. There the youug man paused to spit and fill up agaiu with wind, aud then struck into the chorus: oli, Zu'hulabl m»u<lcr-iug Zutulab, Oh, ZuUuhtbl da-liarling Zo-Lula! De-buar <tei>artc<l Zu-huUb Zong-otig oi.g! The singer here took a rest ol a lew seconds, looked anxiously down the street to see that no policeman was iu sight, then throwing a peculiar plain tive voice, hesattg: WLcti t be uio-boon I* *hl-nlngoYr tbo la-a-kc; Ob, the.btu I’ll think of tbec-be-bec. Ob, tliL-bcu, oh-b tbe-be-hen I’ll tbl-bi-iok of pcated more or less times across the length of the bed, the only variety being the new places vou bruise. The top cords are tightened in anoth er way, and you proceed to that. You first put your foot on each rail, which spreads you some, and as you do itthe frightful thought strikes you that If one of those feet should slip over, notliiug on earth would prevent you from being split through to the chiu. Then you pull up the first rope until your eyes seem to be ou the point of rolling out of their sockets, apd the blood in your veins fairly gtoan ; and on being con vinced that jou can’t pull it any fttr- ther without crippliugyourseif for life, you catch hold ot the next ropo aud dra%r that up—and grunt. Theu you move along to the next, and draw that up aud gruut again. Just as you have got to the middle, and commcuced to think that you are about through, even if your joints will never again set as they did before, you some way or other rnt&s the connection aud fiud that f ou have to go back and do it all over. Icre you pause for a lew minutes of oracular refreshment, and then slow ly and carclully woik your way back. You don’t jhmp down and w alk back, because you are afraid to spread out in that way again. You sort of wad dle oack. working the way iuch by inch, aud with consummate patience. A man thus stretched ^across a bed stead never becomes so excited as to lose his presence of mind. It would be instant death to him if be did. Then he goes over it again, wnddliug and nulliug, groauiug and grinding, while his wife moves around with tile lamp and tells him to take it easy, aud not scratch tlie bedstead auy more than he cau help, aud that she can’t tell which creaks the most, he or the bend- stead. And after he gets through she has the audacity to ask him to firing iu the feather beds. In the dead of night that tuan will steal up to that r and look at that bedstead, and swear. —Danbury News.

Fifteen years ago. when I Srst com menced the produce business in Ma con. my little orders for grain and meal seldom went farther west than the fertile hills of Cherokee, Georgia, and the narrow vallevs in East Ten nessee. I had time then to write aud sen 1 letters lor these supplies and wait the return of quotations before but iug. I, with other merchants, purchased there, at our ietaure, all that was nec- ess.vrv to supply the wants of Middle and Southwestern Georgia. Now we send our immense orders by telegraph ic w ires to the rich fields 'and broad E laics of Missouri and Il.inois; and i£ y any chance or ill luck, a railroad bridge is burned or a transfer boat is sunk and a little blockade occurs en route, a panic ensues and a meat bread and hay famine at once threatens eve ry man and beast south of Chattanooga. This is our miserable poor helpless con dition to-day—fearful and umeasona- ble a» it may appear to outsiders.— But the annual deficiency of fifty rni'l- ion bushels of grain in the fonr States of Georgia, Alabama, * Florida and South Carolina, commented upon so peration—when ruin and bankruptcy stare us all iu the face—wc issue proc lamations, call public meetings, invite distinguished gentlemen Irom abroad come and sympathize with us. We meet in banquet halls, drink much champagne and discharge more gas over the great absorbing question of canal schemes, Congressional aid ami cheap transportation, than was cvei expended by our forefathers in dis cussing the Declaration of American Independence. Aud what docs it avail? Will these idle extravagant demonstrations ever work out the great problem ol Georgia independ ence? No! Never until labor be comes popular will money get easy. Never, uutil wc feed fancy less, and learn to futtcu chickens and hogs more, will want disappear and plenty step in.

You don't think so much of this until you are called ujion to put|itup. which event general! takes place in the evening. The bedstead has been cleaned in the afternoon, and having been soaked through with hot water, is now ready for putting up. Your wife holds the lamp and takes charge of the conver sation. The rope has been under water several times in the course ot the cleaning, and having swollen to a diameter greater than the holes in the rails, has also got into a fit of coiling up into mysterious and very intricate forms. \ ou at first wonder at this, but pretty soon wonder teases to be n , aud you then scold. The thread which has been wound around the end of the rope tofociliate its introduction in the holes has come off, anl you have to roll it up again. Then, after you have pulled it through eight hole* your wife makes the discovery that you have started wrong. The waj that rope comes out or the holes again makes vour wifo get closer to the door.

This excites you, and brings out the perspiration __ greater profusion, and you declare you will kick the bedstead out door* if she don't come around with that light Then she comes around. Finally the corJ is laid all right, and you proceed to execute the very delicate job of tightening it. The lower ropes art- first walked over. This is done by stepping on the first one and sinking it down, hanging to the bead-board with the clutch of death. Then you step with the other foot on the next line, spring that down, lose your bal ance, grab for the bead-board, miss it, and come down 1q aheap. Thi* is rt system.
