Avery's IIUtery ofdcorglR Christian Index. The publication of Colonel Avery’s "History of Georgia,” which magnificent book will be is an expensive as well as an extensive insti- | ready for delivery in a few days, is exceedingly timely in view ot the deep interest which the wo.Id is now taking in the “Empire State of the South,” through the grand International Cotton Exposition at Atlanta. The eyes of capitalists, m„uufactarers, artisans, mechan ics, and agriculturists, are turned upon Geor- ! other things to eat that go to make up the | thrice-dailv hill of fare, and the reader has a j faint idea of what it takes to run a first class I hotel. j Now when we tell our readers that sncli an | establishment as the one we have described ean be fouud in Savannah with rates rangiug I from $2 to $3 per day—according to location j of room—we but rt -iterate a well-known fact j that is known to the almost entire traveling j public.

The tick ets will be limited to Jite days from date of sale. That is to say, you can buy a ticket from Albany to Atlanta at any time from the 5th to the 11th of December—a space of seven days—but the ticket will only be good for fiye days from date of sale. If you buy your ticket on the 11th, it will be good for 5 days. We learn that tlie 8. F. A W. Boud will be pre pared to sell excursion tickets to meet this reduction at that time. Why In II?

Warren, ef Albany, was in town Monday, looking after our Superior Court. It will be seen by an or der by him, published elsewhere, that the Court remains adjourned to 2d. Monday in January 1882. Judge Warren is in good health, and lias entered upou the ardous duties of his new position with vim and euergv. What is that which has three foet, but no leg*, is all body bnt no limb*, ha* no toes on the feet, no head, move* a great deal hut never nses its feet for that purpose, has one j foot at each end and one in the centre of the body f This is a queer creature in some re spects, and is very popular among the ladies some gentlemen.

Perhaps Gadsden county may yet show some good steppers at the Fairs which are soon to be held in adjoining coun ties.—Quincy Herald.

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.

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. (Ed. Democrat 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.

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.
