Marshall House is the best of all, we do not
detract one iota of merit- from 'them. Tlio
rooms arc well fiirnisUeu and comfortable, and
the bill of fare is second to no other house in
in the State. While we were there it was im
possible for the bouse to accommodate its in
creasing patrons, and many were turned
away. Once you know BreBnan, the most ge
nial and accommodating of hosts ; you w-ant
to stop with him again—and unless he in
creases the size of tbe Marshall House he can
not accommodate his accumulating business.
John Bresnan has been in Savannah for
over forty years, during which time he has
catered to the public in restaurants and
smaller hotels, but never has he been widely
known until within the past few years, since
his connection with tbe Marshall House.
Modest and unassuming he never had the
knack of forcing himself forward, but in his
present position circumstances have made
tlie entire public acquainted with his merits,
aud they are appreciating him properly, as old
age as beginning to wriukie bis brow.
With a courteous corps of clerks in .lie office,
and his own smiling supervision over tbe whole
establishment, John Bresnan has placed the
Marshall House in the front rank of Southern
Hotels.

A Letter from ex-Jud
Wright.
Apla.-.-t, Ga., Nov. 14, 1881.
Editor Bainbridge Banocrat, Dear Sib :—
I noticed an article ir a recent number of your
paper, referring to the aci.'on of tlie Albany
Bar in procuring the appiou meiii of Judge
Warren, as the successor of Hon. Wm. O.
Fleming, dee d, to the Judgeship of the Al-
banv Circuit, Ac.
I desire to «av that 1 am one of the Albany
B:n\ and was no party I., tin contract oragi-ec-
meu to which y ou allude, a ml, furtlivr.no
party to procuring the appointment of Judge
Warren as the successor ot Judge Fleming.
But the appointment was very satisfactory
to me, because Judge Warren was my friend,
and has been for over twenty years, and he
desired the place, and it is very convenient
to have the Judge near you—it saves both
time and expense in your business : aud as
to the “indecent haste” alluded to, so far as I
am concerned it could not apply to me, as I
did not act at all in the matter. As to the
action of other members of the Albany Bar, I
know nothing except some of them went to
Atlanta, bat I heard the appointment was
made before they reached the city.
Yours truly,
G. J. Weight.
The above disclaimer i* nothing more than
we expected from Judge Wright, and we
print it with pleasure. The close relations
existing between him and Judge Fleming for
year* while he occupied the Bench—Judge
Fleming being Solicitor- no doubt called forth
the above letter. There are few nobler-heart
ed men in this world than Judge Wright.

gin from all dirictions at present, and many
influential men of these classes are now in
the State making observations with a view to
invest capital, or to establish themselves in
business.
Colonel Avery’s splendid work, aside from
its historical and personal value, embraces
elaborate statistics from official sources, and
accurate descriptions of the rich and inex*
hatistible natural resources of Georgia, not to
be obtained elsewhere.
This fact alone will make the book indis*
pensible to all who desire full and authentic
information concerning the State, for all who
have capital to invest, or who desire to settle
here and prosper in business.
For the same reason the book appeals to
the patronage of onr own people, as by its
wide distribution Georgia will be made known
to the world, and its resources placed perma
nently and authentically upon record.

On Friday night the 25th inst, at the M. E.

of the above Society. The programme will be

recitations and singing by the seboot, and an
address for the occasion delivered by some
popular orator.
This will be a most interesting occasion
as we learn that Superiteudent Dickenson and

in preparing the pupils for their respestive

which comes from a mother's lips. It posses
ses a potent influenoe and charm, which make
ii a welcome guest to parent and child alike.
Bright short stories from pens trained to

Editors Democrat:—Pm not much prone to
letter writing, especially to newspaper men,
! but as I see so few communications from this
section of the county I’ve decided to send yon
» few jottings, in order that our neighbors
may see we are not veritable “Bip Van Wink
les." In tbe first place let me assure yon that
spite of Spring and Summer droughts, and
other drawbacks, which this year of extremi
ties has brought as, we are all able to “keep
our beads above water,” and indeed most of
us can say “we owe no man.”
We have been brought safely through the
hard times thus far, aud though we look for
another hard year in
hardly believe our farmers are profiting b;
tbe severe lesson. We are making ourselves
a self-sustaining people. Most of us have
corn, syrup, rice, peas and potatoes enough
to do our families, though none to spare.
Though a short crop of cotton was made, yet
by a kind Providence, we were enabled to save
every lock, which has brought ns a fair price.
By the way, don’t understand me to mean
that the cotton crop was below average. It
was short for this section, where we generally
make above the usual average crop. One of
our neighbors, Mr. Abner Avriette gathered
eight bales from ten acre* of land that has
been cleared for a number of years. Some of
our men have made more corn than they have
for many years. They acted wisely, and
planted double tbe quantity they had hereto
fore. We have had more time for recreation
than ever before. Cotton opened so rapidly
we were compelled to make speed in picking
it ont.
BBearing in mind the old addage, “All work
and no play, Ac., Ac.,” I took advantage of
the intervening weeks between cotton and
corn housing and syrup making and betook
myself off to the Bay, where I enjoyed rough
ing it on tbe Shell Point beach, to the fullest
extent. While there I saw several barrels of
mullet drawn from tbe water at one haul.
Fish are remarkably fine this season. Maj-
Saunders, the owner of the fishery, does all in
hia power to make your stav pleasant. I ad
vise all who wish to have a pleasant time as
w«U a* those who wish to obtain fish on short
notice to head their way for Shell Point. I’m
not a drummer for that fishery, but I can’t
help speaking a good word whenever I think
of the energy displayed by the fishermen in
seeing that no wagon is kept watting.
But again to my subject, from which I’ve
strayed farther than was my intention at the
beginning. As I have said, onr cotton and
corn is aC housed ; Onr potatoes soon will be,
and then we begin sugar making in good
earnest. We cordially invite yon out to any
mill in our neighborhood. We love to have
any friend join in our merry making at such
times. The lads and lasses have right iollv
times in the rural districts at the sngar boil-
6y the wav, that was cheerful news from
Atlanta concerning our friend Martin's bale.
Many mere at us might have done something
for Decatur had we been thinking less of self
aud more of oar county. However, we will all
strive to give her a “boom" at the uext annual
fair. With many wishes for tbe prosperity ef
Doeatur aud Decatur’s paper I beg leave to
tubweribo myself, Your friend,

When jawyers fail to take a fee,
And juries never disagree;
When politicians are content,
Aud landlords don’t collect their rent;
When parties smash all the machines,
Aud Boston folks give up their beaus;
When naughty children ail die young.
Aud girls are born witbont a tongue;
When ladies don't take time to hop,
And office-holders never flop;
When preachers cut their sermons abort,
And all folks to the church resort;
When back subscribers all have paid,
And editor have fortunes made ;
Such happiness must sure portend
This wond mum soon come to an end.
Beth of* Mr, E. M. Hamptoa.
We are pained to be called upon to elironi
cle the death of the above young gentleman,
which occurred at bis home in this city on
Saturday of last week, after a long and painful
illnes*. His funeral took place at the Episco
pal Chtirrh the following day at 3 p. m., Rev.
E. W. Meane'y performing the last sad rites.
Mr, Hampton had been a resident of Gaines
ville several years, at one time being associa
ted with his brother, Mr. W. W. Hampton, as
editor of the Times. He subsequently en
gaged in the practice of law, but ovri.ig to
feeble bealtli was forced to abandon bis pro
fession about three years ago, since which
time he was a confirmed invalid uulii death.
Mr. Hampton was a young man of fine mind;
he possessed a true heart; was of generous
impulse, and by bis ever courteous manner,
won lor himself a host of friends who dceply
monrn his death. Being highly respected for
his many noble traits of character, coupled
with his brilianey as a writer and debater, he
was justly regarded by al] who enjoyed his
acquaintance as one of the most promising
young men in the State.—GainesciU(I'la.)Be-\
The deeasod haji many warm friends in
Bainbridge—the home of bis boyhood—who
will deplore his untimely death. He wss a
! nobie young man.
