He arrived Monday, ami he’s come to stay, more harm to him! 1 luring tho past week a convention was held uu the dreary meml.iws which stretch around the hanks of the Oconee. It was not a convention «.f the solid Nomocracy. Ncith* r we it «»u*» of Ite- puIdicau ollice-seek* rs. in faei, there was nothing’political about it; it was simply a gathering of poor little mos quitoes. Millions were pr» s..nt. There was no trouble t bout organization-no question of candidates to disturb tin* meeting. The multitud esitnply met and deteimiiieu upon a midsummer campaign. As a part of the arrangements it was decided that a suitable number of trusty representa tives should be left behind to keep up tho reputation of the place in which the convention was held, and that the re mainder of the crowd should emigrate. Athens, not being far away, was se lected as the destination, and Monday as the time of departure. ‘ The program w as carried out to the letter, and on Monday evening the bloodsucking horde crossed the Oconee and settled down upon the peaceful 1 }* dined inhabitants of our city. It was a clear case of coining, seeing and t quering, and the duee is to pay. Who that has promenaded the streets during the last twenty-four or thirty-six hours has failed t.i note the sulphurous odor of the atmosphere? This was caused chiefly by the brim stone exhalations of the Muttering people of Athens. Forced into a state of frantic desperation by the aggravating devilish- ness of the buzzing marauders trotu the river hanks, they have made the nir bine with ther geometrically constructed sentences of wrathful ami voluahle pro fanity. Mosquitoes! Y.s. confound 'em! They are everywhere to he found throughout the city. It matters not what the condition or surroundings. Wherever man is there is the attendant musanc >—that blasted, bloodthirsty, irrepressible, doggonetl, all fired plague, the Georgia mosquito. He is fa't humming iiiMiuity into the ears of the people, M nd if he don’t draw- oil his forces putty soon, why, there will be trouble, that’s all. We won’t stand it! THE LIVING ISSUES.

They say that trade IS dull, no money is coming in, and at the sauio tiinr a great deal of whisky is brought in ffuni other places, and the ettv treasury is deriving no benefit front the same.

'Temporary dilfeietices within the par ty have been settled: the people have chosen their candidate, and all true democrats will give him a hearty sup port. Many conservative colored voters v jll also cast a ballot with the whites in the coming election. < It is not reasonable to suppose that a negro could have any weight in a body as white as the legi-1 »ture of Georgia. So sending a negro, if such were possi ble, would be of no real benefit to the negroes. Arrears in taxes, however, crush even the faintest hope of Pledger’s election. Tax Collector 11. II. Linton tells us that there are fully liv«- hundred colored voters in Clarke who have not paid ihuir taxes, some as far back as for ifte past seven years. He savs the live hundred are due on an average five dollars per capita. With no real benefit to be derived in the event of his election, it is hardly probable "that twenty five hundred dollars can be raised among the repub licans rf Clarke county, to pay up back ta xes to allow the delinquents to cast a ballot for W.

When a voter repudiated the pledge he had made Mr. Melt when lie signed that paper, lie did nut endanger the success of his party or the political supremacy of his race. He simply expressed his preference between white men and democrats. On the pro priety of this 1 have uu comment to make. Hui since the declaratio . of the demo- cracy of Clarke county as recorded at the ballot hex, and the announced can didacy of a negro and a republican, the situation has been greatly changed. The issue is not now between white men and mem >ers of the same party, but be* tween tbe Caucasian and the African, and a Denmcial and republican. I do not believe that there will be u dozen white men in Clarke county who will re fuse to give their support and vote in such an issue. Let us lay aside all differences; let us forget every unkind and barsli word spoken during tho heated contest; let us throw the mantle of forgiveness around evarv sentence calculated to chafe or ir ritate us. In this slr.fe let us bury all personal animosities, and look only t, tbe success of our race and our party. Respectfully, A Whits Mah and A Dihocuat. HOT tVEATHKK. Its Effieli t'pnn lhe I'eiujierameitU uf Ma i and tiesat Alike. One of the in-St interesting studies bearing upon the subject of the rela- rion ol mind to matter is found in ob- ervin^ the etf-cu »f a high temp. ra. •ire upon diff-reut organizations. The nervous, sensitive, egotistic man, when the iheriiiomiotr ranges among the nine ties, it chiefly intent upon publishing his personal discomfort Instead of sit ting still and coc’mg his mind through work or general diversion, he moves bus ly about telling everybody how hot it is, with gestures and ejaculations to iiiaich. He is • mental radix.or, bent upon tranrmitting his own conditions to -ther minds, and, without intending it, is generating his own discomfort within others. On tho other band, the man of even temperament, or cool mind, avoids a|l mention of physics) and thermal rondi- •i ms on a hut day. HU purpoae is to g t Ins mind as far sway from them as k Miastble. Ha hears his nervom friend iluig down his pen or spade snd declare that it is too hot for work. To him con genial work is the Tory best mesas of ktepiag bit attention sway from physical discomfort. Una feels . comparatively cool in tbia'man’s presence.' Ho is a par ts! refiigento:, and transmits liis own •mditions. The mere physical temperature of a man on a hot day U not the measure of bU discomfort. In this busy season ■undreds of Georgia farmers toil on open uelds in the hot euu iu such oxcessive •crsplralion that hardly a dry thread it found on them through the day.

When | caught, they were preparing a meal of chicken and some fc dough, which they had ju.-t stolen fiom Mr. Cartledge. Bears have been so little hunted in West Dougherty, of lute years, that they have multiplied amazingly iu the Kiokee and Chicasawhatchec swamps. Bruin is a great trespasser, and helps himself freely to the tender corn on Him swamps, and whole acres are destroyed hy his de predations. Farmers of this section oc casionally still hunt for them with vary ing success. Mr. Joseph Beall has been annoyed by bears tearing down and eat ing his corn in the fields that lie next to the Kiokee swamps on his Beach Grove plantation in West Dougherty. He de termined to try to kill one them, and on the night of July 3rd he took a couple of negroes with him and went into the field and occupied stands. He was not dis appointed. In the first hours of the night, a young b.-ar came into the field and helped himself ‘.o a roasting ear. About the time he was in the fail enjoy ment of it, Mr. Beall fired on him from his ambush, hitting him with eight buck shot, and killing him almost instantly. Bruin weighed 20P pounds. The tracks of much larger ones are thick through the field. i on a mu: Ti nt:.

Bertie Paeon, which occurred Wednesday, July, 4th., one of the brightest home circles in the city was broken. Mi®s Bacon has two sisters, who are teachers iu the public schools, and they, together with some of the other teachers, rented a home, which Miss Bertie presided over and kept bright for the tired teachers. They spoke to me of her as the little “home keeper.” They said she made it “bright and happy” for them, and no doubt she did. On the wall in their hall are the words, “Content! Ah, Sweet Content!” and the whole air of the place gave evidence that it was a place where content reigned. Pul the “home keeper” is gone, and the house desolate. She has gone to a better home, where sorrow is unknown, and on the walls of which the Father in Heaven shines forever. Her young life, which added sa much joy to her circle of acquaintances, adds to that throng which no man can number—in the world beyond the skies.
