Mr. Joseph S. McGinnis has placed
upon our table four bunches of sweet po
tatoes, grown by him this year, having
from nineteen to twenty five potatoes to
the bunch. Had the season not been so
dry the yield wouid have been enormous.
It wou'd he difficult to need anything in
the way of books, music, stationery, win
dow shades, wail-paper, or other goods
in his line which cannot be found at Mr,
Henry A. Smith’s bookstore, Broad
street, Rome, Georgia, and it would be
imputable io patronize a more polite, at
tentive, accommodating, or worthy gen
tleman. His stack of school books is
large. He has a great variety of music,
and defies competition in anything in his
line of trade.

The sentiments of that young lady’s heart
is so fully expressed in those verses, that
while we read them we cannot restrain
the sympathetic tears that rise to our
eyes, to think that man’s heart is so hard
that the wooings of fair maiden cannot
find a resting place therein. Young man!
retrace thy hasty steps, and seek with all
your heart her forgiveness,

Positive Results. There are numer
ous remedies that cure sometimes and be
come trusted as useful, but none have
ever proved sa effectual—cured so many
and such remarkable cases—as Ayer’s
medicines.
The Cherry Pectoral has restored great
numbers of patients who were believed to
be hopelessly affected with consumption.
Ague Cure breaks up chills and fever
quickly and surely.
Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsapa
rilla eradicates scrofula and impurities of
the blood, cleanses the system and restores
it to vigorous health. By its timely use
many troublesome disorders that cause a
decline of health are expelled or cured.
Ayer’s Pills and their effects are too
well known everywhere to require any

To the Voters of Chattooga County.
My friends knowing my chance for ob
taining a support for myself and family,
are daily soliciting me to become a candi
date for the office of Ordinary of this
county. lam pained to say that the loss
of my left arm during the late war, ren
ders me almost unfit for manual labor. (I
know this to be so from experience.)
If the people of the county feel that I
merit their suffrage more than others, and
honor me with the game in the coming
election, I will say, that I shall promise,
if elected, to discharge the duties of the
office in the best manner possible.
Respectfully,

A Broken Chain.
i’O H—.
I once <lld Weave a chain of love.
Of which you wore the brightest link—
I thought that Ueav'n was then on eaith,
And 1 just on the brink.
But alas! as castles in the air,
Are built, but vasish away—
So my chain, although so fair,
Was broken in a day.
And now, loved one, behold!
The links lie scattered at your feet;
'Tis the fragments of my broken heart,
And my lift* is a wreck complete.
But I cannot believe that you are false—
That your sweet smile is all deception;
Surely in tin* depths (tf your heart,
There must be some affection.
Ah! do not smile when we meet,
But pass me coldly by;
For it opens afresh the bleeding wound,
O, Gou! why can’t l die?
1 had rather have your cold contempt,
Your hatred, your enmity;
Than to have your friendship now.
When your love is thus denied me.

Let every citizen of the county consider
himself a committee of one to see that a
free and fair election is held next Tuesday.
Lei every Member of Gwnltncy Lodge
be present next Tuesday night, as officers
arc to be elected, and a full turn out is
desired. Come out, one and all, and let’s
have a good time.
Before another issue of this paper shall
reach our subscribers, the election will
have passed, and the die, for weal or woe
of our country, cast. Upon the issues of
next Tuesday hang the future destiny of
our country, and every voter should pon
der well the result of his action before its
performance.
The scales are nearly evenly balanced,
and hut a feather’s weight may kick the
beam and land the country in anarchy,
despotism and confusion, resulting in its
total overthrow; or, it may bring peace
and quiet out of the present chaos and
disturbance
If every voter could but realize and ap
preciate the momentous issues with which
the hour is fraught, we think personal
preferences, so far as individual men are
concerned, would sink into insignificance,
when brought in competition with princi
pc in lived, and upon which so much
ilcpi 01. and whs. h is reality, arts to dc
cldc tin ' ilc of the nation. To every ob
serving mind, it is evident the party in
power, which created the distress, could
never relieve itself which it has produced
and hence it is necessary, essentially so, to
have a change in the administration of
the Federal government, lienee, we are
solicitous for the election of the straight
out Democratic nominees, and would
urge every voter to stand squarely and
boldly to Dabney, Tilden and Hendricks..
D. M. White Retires.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
Believing it not to be right for one bird
to strut with the plumes of another with
out giving the proper credit, I think it
but just and right that the many voters
of the counties of Floyd and Chattooga,
should know of the false colors under
w hich your correspondent signing herself
“Betsey Lew's,” proposes to sail, who
lives, I am convinced nut far from Sum
merville, in Chattooga county, and uses
the name of Betsey Lewis of Floyd county
—whom I have not seen, and but only
recently heard of—as a nom de plume..
As to the copperas pantaloons, I could
not certainly object, as they would be
proof of iny frugality and honesty. And
as to home-made tobacco, it is immaterial,
for I do not—like ‘.your correspondent—
use it.
And for that part of her platfoim giving
an “energeticinfliction of 45 stripes, save
one, in case of disobedience,” is only
practiced by barbarians, and only serves
as a relic of barbarisms, which has long
since passed into oblivion by the cultivated
and refined of the present century, who
now have substituted moral suasion and
love instead, I let that pass.
Now, Mr. Editor, since finding that
such a similarity in names exists between
this correspondent and Betsey Lewis of
Floyd county, it beeuuies me as a pr tdent
man to beat a hasty retreat, as I perceive
our dispositions and inclinations are in no
wise congenial. Therefcre, you will
henceforth consider me as having retired
from the canvass.
Oct. 30th. I). M. White.
Some people are trying to make capital
out of the fact that Col. Dabney would
not stop at Trion to meet Dr. Felton in
debate, but passed by where he, was to
speak at Penn’s chapel. No, gentle
reader, the boot is on the other leg, Dr.
Felton will not meet Col. Dabney as is
stated as a fact by the Cartersville Ex
press thusly:
“Dr. Felton has thrown up the sponge.
He has notified Col. Dabney that he shall
not meet him any more on the stump in
this campaign, As is amo.-t
amiable and courteous gentleman, wo do
not see why Dr. Felton refuses to discuss
the public questions with him.
Is it stand the
.diot from

Felton’s Speech Reviewed.
To the Ktlttor <if The Gillette:
Will you allow space for a review of a
portion of Dr. Felton’s speech on Tuesday
last, relative to Independent candidates?
The Doctor labored very hard to cite us
to some precedent for his Independent
candidacy. Reasserted that Gov. Tilden
is, or was, an Independent candidate.
Gov. Tilden had not held an office since
he was a member of the constitutional
convention in 1846 to revise the constitu
tion of New York, until, 1 believe, in 1872
he was elected to the legislature.
During that interval of 26years, he was
not in politics at all, except to vote and
act with the Democratic party. He was
a lawyer pursuing the duties of his pro
fession, until elected to the legislature in
1872. where he got some insight as to the
frauds imposed upon the State of New
York by the Cana! ring, and upon the
city by the city officials, known as the
“Tweed ring,” which was a ring organized
for the purpose of making money by
robbery which they did by embezzling the
funds of the city, and concealed their
rascality by false entries, defacing records,
and destroying papers. Their rascality
had become of such enormous magnitude,
and their acts so completely covered up
and concealed, that it seemed impossible
to detect or check them.
Gov. Tilden determined to investigate,
fenct out. and bring the offenders to
punishment; which he begun with an
energy peculiar to tho man, and which
gave him a reputation for reform and
honest government.
The Democratic Executive committee
of the state of New York called a conven
tion to meet in Syracuse in said State, on
16 li day of September 1874, for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate for gov
ernor. In obedienco to that call, each
and every county in the State of New
York called their county meetings, ap
pointed their delegates to said convention,
just like the counties composing the 71li
Congressional district which sent their
delcg itos to the Dalton convention, when
Col. W. 11. Dabney was nominated.
The result of the New York convention
was tho unanimous nomination of Samuel
J. Tilden ns a candidate ior governor; and
on the first Tuesday in November follow
ing, placed him in the chair as the Chief
Executive of the State of New loik,
which enabled him to accomplish the
gis I wm h lie had so nobly begunjin prose
cutuigand imprisoning the thieves of Now
7i i k So much for the Independency of
G-iverni.r I: >n. Your reudurs are all
familial with (lie facts as to how lie be
came a candidate for the Presidency.
Dr. Felton also asserts that Ben. Ilill
ran as an Independent candidate in the
Uth Congressional district two years ago.
WhaFttetss the man moan? Does ho think
that wc are a sot of ignoramuses not to
know hetteJ than that? The 9th district
called a convention to meet in Gainesville,
Ga., which they did. There were three
aspirants befure that convention—llill,
Bell and Price. Tim convention organ
ized by adopting the two-thirds rule, and
proceeded to ballot. Price having but
few supporters', his friends soon with
drew his name. *Tho contest then being
between Ilill and Bell, but neither re
ceiving the requisite two-thirds, Bell’s
friends finally withdrew his name, and put
forward anew man as a compromise,
hoping thereby to defeat Hill. But Hill’s
friends being confident ol his strength,
refused to submit to anything but bis
nomination. The bnllctting was protract
ed for two or three days without any
nomination, and finally agreed that both
men should run and adjourned. They
did both run and Ilill was elected.
And so wo have yet failed ts find a
precedent for Dr. Felton’s Independent
candidacy.
The Doctor also brought up General
Jackson as a precedent for Independent
candidates; (well, we thought it rather
egotistical in the Doctor to compare him
self with all the great men of our nation,)
hut not being familiar with the history of
those days, we can’t say but what Gen.
Jackson was an Independent candidate in
the first race he made for president. We
know there were five candidates, and the
result was, there was no election. It
devolved on the House oHlcpresentatives
to choose a president, amUthey chose J.
Q. Adams. Gen. Jackson time
belonged to anew party just struggling
into existunce; just what Dr. Felton is
laboring to do now—to form anew party,
and ally the Republican party with him.
Hence the “alliance offensive and defen
sive” which is to make "war to the knife”
on organized Democracy.
