years ago. he said, every where

was much larger than now, and we
wore paying five or six percent,
interest on D. Now tho debt is
greatly reduced and wo pay a much
amllor per cent upon it. If it was
right to repeal the internal revenue
laws then, is it not now right? But

His judgements are past finding

of victory, and “precious in tho

Editor dr Advance—Dear Sir:
1 noticed in tho Cummin g Clari
on of the Gth, about this :
Aleck Stephens Governor of
Georgia ! Lot’s g > out in tha back
yard and puke. Aman!”
Now I have been of the opinion
for some time that, tho Clarion
was bilhous, and needed a puke.
It would prove a blessing to the !
Clarion and its numerous friends
and subscribers if radicalism, ind -
pendentism and every other i-m
except pulriotizm could he puked
up, and the stomach cleansed by a
large dose of democracy.
Tha Clarion then would stand
on the same plat-form with other
North Georgia newspapers. Tho
writer, an old friend and subscriber
of tlie Clarion, would rejoice over
such a happy change.

OUR TRIP.
Wo visited Concord Association
near Douglasvillo, and returned
Tubsduy. Our trip was unusually
pleasant. We met many old friends
of former days, friends who never
forget that time and distance have
nothing to do witn honest friend
ship. k
Wo spent some time in Douglas
Villo, a new town on the Georgia
Pacific, about 30 mile;) from At
lanta. Douglasvillo is probably
on tho highest point oPlaud of any
town in tho State. It is building
up rapidly. The buildings uro far
above those usually erected in a
new town, many ol brick and put
up in excellent taste. Churches,
schools, &c„ are engaging the at
tention and energy of the citizens.
Tho “Star,” n weekly paper, odi*
ted and published by Col. Robert
Massey, is a good paper and is
doing much towards building up
the town and community The
merchants are enterprising men
| and the citizens are working to-
! gether to build up the town. The
town now has about 500 inhabi
tants. Houses in d maud, none
to rent. Several bud iiugs going
up. Ga. Pacific ia working won
ders in developing tl.i part of
Georgia.
The lands around Douglasville
are rich, and tnis year, the fields
groar. with tho weight of their
crops, and the nctv railroad opens
up a ready market for all. This is
an excellent country.
It is predestinated and ordained,
i nd elected and chosen and d« creed
tliut Gov. Colquit will be the next
United States Senator.

AMBITION.
The literal meaning of the word
is “g°ing around.” Its general use
ia quite different. It is of a twofo.u
charactor. When ambition has foi
its end, general progress, it is laud
able and noble. It makes the pat-
r ot philaathopist, and banefactor
But there is a se fish ambition that
ipver looks higher than the accmii"
pushing of a seltish and sorded end.
This curses mankind and is thi-
bane of progress and the enemy to
religion. This dwarfs moral man
hood, shrivels the sou 1 and makes
'he obsequious Hunky and the filthly
boot-lick to tlie reputable. All for
i.o higher object tliun a little short
