The Sunny South. —We have
received the first number of the
“ Sunny South,” anew literary pa
per just started in Atlanta by our
old friend Jno. 11. Seals. "We un
hesitatingly pronounce it the most
attractive paper published in the
South. It is well illustrated, ably
edited, and well printed. The pa
per is on the style of the N. Y. Led
ger, yet its contents are far more
interesting and acceptable to the
reader.
The South is published weekly,
nt $3 per annum, and we would ad
vise all to send forward their names
and subscriptions in time to com
menee with the first issue.

a small bill of indebtedness.
The Junior would also remind an
other friend of his, recently of

years.
We would also recommend the

Still anotukr. — J. W. Hart was
robbed of several pounds of seed
cotton last week, but the thieves
wete not trapped until Sunday
night, when two of Whiteley’s suf
frage sllngers were caged to await
the judgment of an offended law.
Since Whiteley’s defeat many of his
party appear to have adopted his
teachings, and are endeavoring to
subsist by “ tricks that are dark,”
but they are fast being brought to
reflection, and will have time given
them for reflection while developing
Ihe “hidden resources” of our
State, in the building of railroads or
working mines, in striped clothes and
close quarters. But things will soon
change Whiteley has played out,
and we expect soon to see all this
thieving rascality stopped, and
these bad negroes go to work and
make an honest living.
Thanksgiving. —As will be “seen
by a proclamation published 10 day
from Gov. Smith, Thursday next,
the 19th, has been designated as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer for
the people of Gerogia.
Surely our people will respect the
injunction of our Chief Magistrate,
as we have much to be thankful
for, and spend the day appropriate
ly. Let the hearts of a free people
be united in returning thanks on
this day for the blessings vouch
safed to a down-trodden and op.
pressed people.
Court. —The present term of our
Superior Court will adjourn to-mor
row to be called again the second
Monday in January, when there
will be an adjourned term of two
weeks. There has been but few
eases, comparatively speaking,
tried this term —the business of the
first week being interrupted by the
election, and Providential causes.
This week several “old knotty”
c?ses were disposed of which will
be a relief, we imagine, to Court
and jury in subsequent terms.
The criminal docket was taken
up on Wednesday morning. The
most important disposed of so
far were the freed man charged with
the crime of purjury in the late j
Nick Kenney case, when they were
induced (or desired) to falsely con
vict the accnsed of violating the
Enforcement act m Terrell county.
All tried so far have been found
guilty, and will have an excellent
opportunity of reflecting upon the
follies and uncertainties of- enforc
ing the election laws of the late de
funct Radical paity while in the
penitentiary.
The young man Mathews, who
was arrested a short time since for
placing obstructions upon the rail
road track in the vicinity of Ward’s
Station, was also found guilty.
Several prisoners in jail, we im
agine, will not have a hearing this
term, but will have to engage quar
ters with Unde Burrell until the
January term.
Hon. B. H. Him..—Our citizens
were favored with a powerful and
telling speech on Tuesday night last
from this distinguished statesman
and orator. Powell’s Ilall was fill
ed to overflow, and all were delight
ed at the sound arguments and log
ieal reasoning enunciated by the
speaker, liis definition of Democ
racy accorded fully with the views
of his auditory, who received the
same with hearty applause, and
doubtless caused many to regret
that it was not generally under
stood as the only tree and patriot
ic definition, which would place ev
ery one upon their proper and true
platform.
The speaker clearly pointed out
the causes which had worked the
recent changes in the minds of the
American people, and said that if
proper wisdom was exercised by
the party in the ascendancy, the
victory would be complete, and the
final and perpetual overthrow of the
Radical party to be consummated.
His entire speech was fraught
with interest, and caused good cheer
to take hold upon every one present.
CctiuikAt. Ga., Nov. sth, 1874,
Mr. G. W. Mullins,, Cb'uin. Ex. Corn, of
Randolph county :
Dear Sir -Believing that the Democratic
Party of the county desires a reorganization
of the Ex -cutiv** Committee, l hereby tender
my resignation as a member of that uOt’.y.
I have the honor to be, most respectfully,
your obedient servant, Wm. Coleman.

Dear Grouby —Send the Appeal
to Col. P. P. Clayton and your
humble servant at this place. What
ever Grouby writes we always want
to read. The subscription pi ice is
all right - we will pay the first time
we see you. Success to your enter
prise. Yours truly, J. J. Beck.
Thank you, gentlemen. We are
vours most truly, and hopo that in
the future, as in the past, you will
remember the Cutebert Appeal—
the paper that has never yet - gone
from the true path of honest princi
pies, and has done all in its power
to advocate true ichite men's prin
ciples.
Our friend Cummings, who
has been traveling Southwest Ga.,
over in the “ Picture ” business, we
are glad to announce, will, in a few
days, be in Cuthbert. That he is a
first-class Artist , is too well known
for us to say a word about. If you
want your Photographs, Arnbro
types, Ferreotypes, etc., taken, call
on Cummings. lie most emphati
cally knotcs his business—and if he
don’t give you satisfaction, call and
get a copy of the Appeal free.
Hon. W. A. Huff has been nom
inated for re-election as Mayor of
the city of Macon. We are glad to
note this fact. There is not a city
in the South that can boast of a
better Mayor than Huff. He has
done more for the advancement of
the interests of Macon than all the
Mayors she has bad within our
knowledge of the place. lie has,
strange as it may appear, expended
money lavishly for public good,
built up and advanced her every
interest, payed off a heavy indebt
edness, constructed one of the hand
somest and most attractive parks
in the South, and at the same time
gradually reduced the taxes. He
is emphatically a model Mayor, uf
which Georgians everywhere are
proud, and all will rejoice to know
that be is to be retained. If the cit
izens of Macon will but give him
their aid and support the “ Central
City” of Georgia will soon be .des
ignated as the Queen City of the
South, for loveliness and attraction.
is the time to subscribe
for or advertise in the Appeal.
FORT GAINES DEPARTMENT
J. L. SAUNDERS, : : : Editor.
SST* Not long since, a lady from
a large city, who is spending some
time in Fort Gaines on a visit, while
pleasantly strolling around seeing
and admiring the useful and the
beautiful in our city, became so ab
sorbed in the contemplation of the
multitudinous objects of interest i
that presented themselves to her
charmed vision, that everything,
time, place, all was foagotten, ex- i
cept the deep draughts of enjoyment
she was indulging. On and on she
went from one scene of grandeur
and beauty to another ; now stop
ping to admire a palatial residence
of oriental magnificence and splen-j
dor, then passing oil to somethin” ;
less imposing but more b- aut fu , ]
until she was recalled to conscious-
ness by a shower of rain, and found
to her dismay that she bad lost her
bearing and lost herself. She took
an observation on a store and tried
to establish her latitude and longi
tude, but did not succeed satisfacto
rily and at last, after several vain
efforts to get on the right track,
hailed a pilot and was directed to
the desired haven.
£3TBy a notice in another eol'
umn it will be seen that our friend
Camming is about to leave us for
our sister town, Cuthbert. We
heartily commend him to the good
people of that place, as being a first
class Artist, a’cultivated gentleman
and a good clever fellow withal ;
and we would advise them all to be
sure and secure some of his “gems
of art,’’while he sojourns among
them, for it is a rare thing that
such an excellent Artist as he is
pays our section of the country a
visit. He has perpetuated the good
looks of everybody in and around
this place, and now we are all hap
py, and cry aloud lo all and sundry,
go to Camming and immortalize
yourself—secure a thing of beauty.
The candidates for county offices
are slowly aud cautiously coining
out, as though they desired to ap
proach with ciacuinspection as near
the offices as possible, gain a good
foothold, look well and then make
the final leap. There is great prob
ability, however, that there will be
no scarcity of those who are willing
to serve lheir country.

We learn that a young man liv

Joe McGlamory, was drowned a

capsized and be was unable to swim
out.
There is a famous little “cuss” in

He spends about one third of his

jail—contented any way.
The It. It. Cos. have erected under
the bridge across the river at this
place, anew and substantial pier, in
the place of the one that gave way
during the high water last spring.
The new structure is well built and
the material is the best of its kind.
Though the bridge lias uot been
strenghtened—having a curve in it
—still it is as safe as it ever was.
’Tis said by budge builders, that as
long as a bridge is not so much de
flected as to .interrupt the line ot
vision, traius may pass through
safely.
It will probably be observed
by our readers generally, that the
Appeal is considerably enlarged this
week. The necessity for this
change was oxplaincd in last issue.
It is not for Buncombe, but bust,

suffice we will repeat.
Radical Postmasters will show

On Monday night last the resi
dence of Mrs. E. Barlow, ten miles
southwest of Lumpkin, was totally
destroyed by fire. All the house
