Rumor now tyu it that the number
of mari?aj*fls that were expected to
■ take place this &U,’il not bo peat as
‘ was supposed. Somo of the parties
most Interested have gives expression
to denials so vehement that they can
not be doubted. Ah, well! who
knows? What is deeper than a
' * maiden’s heart; 'odwhat is harder to
seen on onr streets. Mr. Johnson is
remarkably hale and hearty for a man
of his years—seventy-one—and hois
regarded aspp pppie of tho past. He
is constantly getting letters from dis
tant parts of the country, asking him
about things that happened in Clarke
county anywhere from twenty to
nty-fivo years ago.
There is considerable confidence in
the ultimate finishing of the North
eastern railroad. Let us beware 1 est
"ultimate” be too far off. While we
are wailing, some combination may
be made, that will mako our line less
a necessity to the slate at large.
Enterprise.
One of the most enterprising men
in Athens is Mr. D. C. Hurley, the
well known carriage and boggy man.
He bas recently moved to the Hodg
son shop on Oconee street, and his
business is pressing him so that he
has sent to Cincinnati for four more
woikmen. His shop is crowded with
work. Wears glad tonote this evi
dence of prosperity in the mechanical
industries of Athens.
A Short Cotton Crop.
A gentleman informs ns that the
cotton crop in many localities is going
to he very short. In the upper part
of Walton, Clarke and Oconee, for
instance, he says there will not be
fifty pounds of cotton to tho acre to
open after November. This is owing
to the long drought during the past
summer. What cotton there is, is
opening rapidly, but the supply will
not last long.
Csl. Arnold at JeObnon.
Col. Reuben Arnold, bf Atlanta,
spoke in Jefferson Monday, for Noiv
wood. His audience, we are informed,
did not number thirty mcq, of wh
all except two or three 'were Colquitt
men. So it may be imagined that ho
got cold comfort.
P. G. Thomson, E>q., followed for
Norwood. His attack on Gov. Col
quitt for endorsing the North-eastern
bonds was received with smiles.
Hon. J. R. Hancock made a short
speech in reply, which was well res
ceived. It is thought that Jackson
county will go for ColqniU by several
hundred majority.
We sincerely regret to learn ot the
death oi onr old friend Judge T. W.
Sbcats, of WahoD county, which sad
event occurred at High Shoals, on
Friday last. It seems that Judge S
and his wife were visiting the store at
tho Shoals for the purpose of making
some purchases, when suddenly he
loll in an apoplectic fit and was re
moved to the residence of Mr. Isaac
Powell, where he died in a short
time.
lie was a kind-hearted, honest, good
man, a valuable citizen and an excel
lent neighbor. IIo leaves a large circle
ot relatives and friends to mourn his
death. May God comfort the afflict
ed family in this sad bereavement.—
Watchman.
Colquitt In Clarke.
“A very observant and dispassion
ate yonng man ” has told the Const!
tution how the Ninth District is going.
He says “ Clarke will go for Nor
wood by a^haudsotne majority.’’ This
young man is certainly mistaken.
Clarke doesn’t go for Colquitt by a
good majority, a good many “ob
servant and dispassionate ” people in
and around here will be, as Mr. Blaine
would say, “ very much disappoint
ed.”
The Colquitt club of while men
numbers four hundred and fifty, and
the most of these are in Athens.
When you add to fully half of the
white vote, or a little more, nearly all
of the colored, vote, you can then
make your own estimate as to how
Norwood is going to carry Clarke
by a handsome majority.’’ Things
will have to change very much, or
Colqnitt will carry Clarke.

Death of Samuel Wat Idas.
One of the old-time characters
Athens died night before last. Sam
uel Watkins was a colored man,
eighty years old, or more. From the
time when “tbe memory of man run
neth not back to the contrary,” up to
a few years ago, he was janitor of tbe
University, and was very popular
, with tbe students, many of whom will
hear of his demise with ■ncere regret.
After the feebleness of dediting years
compelled him to give up the position
be bad so long held, he i t'JTwsTHM on
the Demosthenian society, and was as
loyal a Demosthenian as any of them
. He hail been in feeble health a long
time; but had been confined to his
bed only about ten days. He was
industrious, thrifty aud provident
and at tbe time of his death was liv
ing at a home which he had bought
since the war, and paid for with the
prooeeds of the labor of himself endl
his faithful wife. lie was universally
respected by the people of Athens,
and his death will lie much regretted,
Tbe Catholic Church.
It is well known that our fellows
citizens oftiie Catholic fojth have long
trie$ under Jnapy difficulties, to build
a Church in this place. They have
ucooeded in getting a email chapel,
and in having services once a month.
The city council Has recently done
some work pn the lot, which greatly
improved it.
Now they want to raise a building
fond. Asrabegioningthey havBjhad
Mr. D. O. Hurley to make one of his
best buggies, and they are going
raffle it at fifty cents a chance. The
raffle will take place publicly, 3d Hun-
nicutt’s hall, on next Christmas day,
and wiU be under the supervision
Hon. H. H. Carlton, Mayor Ci
Talmadge, and W. D. O’Farrell, esq.
This ensures a fair and impartial raffle,
and is a guaranty that everything will
be conducted right
While on this subject, it is proper
to say that them will lie service at the
church next Sunday, by Rev.. Father
Whiteman, the pastor. There wiU
be high mass nt 10$ a. m., and ves
pers at 7$ p. m.
As Viewed by tarry Gantt.
That irrepressible editor,
Mr.
Gantt, of the Oglethorpe Echo,
visited Athens a short time since, and
had something to say on several sub
jects. We extract as follows:
“On alighting at the depot we lonnd
that the omnibus fiends continued to
hold a w-ir dance around the persons
helpless passengers. They go for
you like a band of hungry Modoc,
and after a victim has been dismem
bered and his remains scattered over
about two acres of ground the d-mous
collect you together and make an
amicable division ot the spoils. One
our legs and body went over in
Cooper’s ’bus, but Gann & Reaves
got the re.-t of our limbs and left lung.
But even after you embark the'
trouble is not ended, for a couple of
hotel drummers turn their argumenta
tive batteries loose upon you and keep
up an incessant clatter until the vic
tim seeks safety in flight or suicide.
'Athens is politically deranged, and
elsewhere the Norwood men do
all the gassing. They keep heavily
charged, and all a meek and lowly
Colqmttile can do is to close his eyes
and wait, for October—that day of
reckoning. But these gentry know
they are counting without their host.
Even Clarke county will go against
them by a round majority. The
oolored vote is outspoken for Colquitt;
while he lias a handsome following
among the merchants and leading citi
zens. If Athens does go against Col
quitt it would be a very sad instance
of ingratitude.
“The Watchman is prospering, and
continues tho popular favorite of
yore. The sprightly Utile Chronicle
has recently enlarged, and will soon
move into new quarters. It is one of
the best weeklies in Georgia. We
inspected tie job office of Yancoy &
Cranford, which is one of the best
equipped establishments in the State.
We had the pleasure of a few mo
ment’s chat with that genial gentle
man, Hon. H. Carlton. The Doc
tor is now reading law under Capt.
Pope Barrow and will shortly be ad
mitted to the b ir. lie has onr best
wishes for success. Dr. Ilal Billups is
another gentleman whom we have
ever held in Uie highest esteem. He
is a native of Lexington, and has
promised to visit ns soon.
Wo had an interesting conversa
tion with Col. A. K. Childs about
the r.iilroad interests of Athen?. He
says the extension of the Northeast
ern is now an assnred fact, and that
at an early day it will be another
great thoroughfare to the West and a
successful rival to the Western A
Atlantic.
The Deupree Opera House has
been thoroughly overhauled, and Mr.
W. II. Jones has made arrangements
to bring out a number of first-cla-s
troupes this winter.
’There is a stand erected in the
street opposite the Campus, that re
sembles a railroad stock pen, from
which about twice a week some bud
ding genius heralds the claims of
Private Thomas Minority Norwood.
Last Saturday night a dusky slander-
slinger had this post of short-lived
honor. Above it floats a campaign
banner of the University Clothing
Emporium.
Athens has the best police force
and fire department of any city in the
South.
“Atlanta is making an earnest effort
to get the firm of Talmadge, Hodg
son A Co. to move there, but we are
glad to note without success.
“Capt. Henry Beusse, one of the
truest and cleverest men in Athens,
is a candidate for Mayor.
“ As usual we stopped at the Cli-
nard House, and were glad to find
the Captain doing a splendid busi
ness. He says Oglethorpe continues
for him. This hotel covers nhont ten
of ground and is generally
crowded. The migratciy public say
they intend to stop here if they have
to Toost on a pole stuck out of the
window. Athens ought 'o build Ca;
C. a fine hotel.”
After Outolier 6th, Gnawwcod will
gnaw a file.
The Columbus Enquirer ^wi'l be
satisfied if Norwood’s majority reach
es^,000.
* “ Norwood is exceedingly cheerful,”
ray his organs. Let him be cheerful
while he may.
Gov. Matthews thinks Wcst^ir^-
ginia will give Hancock 20,000
majority.
The property owned by Gen. aud
Mrs. Grant, briugs them an income
of about 49,000 a year.;
What would Conkling give now,
to carry New York, since Blaine has
lost Maine?
Treasurer Renfroe used that 822,-
000, “through ignorance.** In the
fulness of knowledge, he holds on to it.
Only one of the Presidential elec-
tots, is taking part in the guberna
torial contest; and that is Mr. T. W.
Akin, of Bartow.
The democrats in Indiana expect
to have twenty-two federal major
generals stumping that state durirg
the campaign.
Bill Tumlin is speaking for *
wood aud honest government,’’
the Hon. William argue in favor of
fraudulent bonds and back pay ?
All the quarreling in the guberna
torial matter will not prevent Geor
gia’s giving a rousing majority in
November'for Hancock aud English.
The Constitution says there are not
fifty Norwoo 1 men in Fulton county
outside ot Atlanta and the county
polls 1,500 votes or more. Yet there
are men who claim Fulton for Nor
wood !
There is nothing that galls the Nor
wood papers so much as the fact that
they can’t get the colored vote. They
are actually beginning to abuse the
colored men who are speaking fur
Colquitt. Pei hapB they want all such
“ cut down,’’ as “ cumberers of the
ground.”
We learn ihat at LuGrange only
73 people assembled to hear General
Lawton speak, aud that a prominent
banker who had not attended the
speaking, said to him: “General, il
you ever come here to speak on your
own account, we will give you a
crowd—but I’ll l>e hanged if we aie
coming out to hear anybody abuse
Colquitt.”
Jefferson Davis, speaking the other
night of the ]>oliiical outlook, said
that lie did not feel much like glorify
ing Hancock for driving our Confede
rate boys from Gettysburg. He
thought, though, that the best in
terests of the country demanded
Hancock’s election. One great result
to be attained by Hancock’s success
would be greater harmony between
North and South.
THE COTTON CROP.
From the New York Jourual of
Commerce, which is by all considered
first-class authority on the subject, we
get some interesting lacts and figures
concerning cotton. The total of the
crop fir 1879-80, is not only the larg
est t ver presented, but it far exceeds
the highest estimates made twelve
months ago. The reason ot this ex
t reordinary growth is fouud in the
unprecedented weather ( wbich brought
out all the top cotton, and enabled
plan tern in many sections, to continue
their picking even after the ordinary
date ofp lanting a new crop. Tho total,
as made up by the National cotton
exchange, is 5,761,352 bales. For
1878-9, it was 5,074,155 bales, and
for 1877-78, it was .4,773,865.
The exports for 1877-78 were
3,555,942 kales; for 1878-79 3,481,
004; for 1879- 803,885,003.
The crop of sea-island is given at
24,862, against 19,601 bales for the
previous year. The largest crop of
aea-itiaad ever, marketed was in 1858-
59, when it reached 47,592 bales. The
home consumption cannot be ascer
tained with perfect accuracy; but as
near as possible, it was for 1877-8
1,492,400; for 1878-9 1,561,873; for
1870.80 1 70S 334.
If wr knew the ceres and crosses.
Crowding round our neighbor’s way,
If ws knew the little loeeee,
Sorely grievous dey by der,
Would we then eo often chide him,
For hie leek of thrill end gain—
Leaving on hie heart e shadow,
Leaving on oar lives e stain f
If we knew the cionds above ns,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we tarn ewsy ell trembling,
In oar blind end week despair I
Would we ahrink from little ahadowa,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While ’tis only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying post!..
If we knew tbe silent story,
Quivering through the heart ot pain.
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt again t
Life hath many a tangled creasing,
Joy hath many a break of woe j
And the cheeks, tear-washed, are whitest,
This the blessed argels know.
Let ns reach into onr bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love towards erring nature,
Cherish good that atill survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light agair.
We may say, dear Father, judge us
As we judge our fellow men.

to roe on the field at Petersburg.
His administration will probably be
the moat notable since the time of
Jackson He is just tbe sort of man
to keep tne best element of the party in

Last fall I was waited upon hy a

to contribute towards aiding an exodus
to Iudiana of 10,000 negroes who
were to be used beyond a doubt affect
the Presidentrial election. I told
them I was no longer on that ride of
the fence Since then I have heard
that bnt 3,000 regroes reached the

fect the national campaign
“The final result is plain to every
intelligent miud, and I believe tbe
masses of the republicans read the
handwriting upon the wall. The
wavering democrats have been made
firm and the vote cast for Tilden in
1876 is aa ured beyond any doubt;
the floating vote, which ia all wnya
■J large in Indiana, New York and Con
necticut, will oome to the democratic
party. On the other baud, the repub
licans are sick at heart. I will ven
ture the opinion that New Hampshire
and Illinois will either decide for Han
cock or be very dose States. Califor
nia and Oregon may be counted opon
as sure. New York, New Jersey apd
Connecticut are reasonably for Han
cock. If Indiana goes democratic
And the republican majority in Ohio ia
tAftkwidd fboeoek’s native State will
not>be wanted. I really believe that
all indications point to a sweeping
dMwrdMd<*victorr—eueh n- oae aa

A Good East Place.—The Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher some time
since received a letter from a young
man, recomm- nded himsell very highly
as being honest, and dosed with. the
request: “Get me as easy situation,
that honesty may be rewarded.’’ To
which Mr. Beecher replied: - “Don’t
be ras editor, if yon would be easy.
Do not try the law. Avoid school-
keeping. Keep oat ot the public.
Let alone all shipe, stores shops and
merchandise. Abhor politics. Keep
away from lawyers. Don’t practice
medicine. Be not a farmer, nor a
mechanic, neither a soldier nor a tail
or. Don’t study. Don’t ttnnk.
Don’t work. None of them ere easy
Oh, my honest friend, yon are in a
hard world. I know of but one easy
place in it. That n the grave.’’
