The progressive and plucky little city

to lose her new glass works by fire last

rebuilding, and proposes to double the

and is being rapidly built up, mainly by
Northern people.
The treasury has bought nearly SIOO.-

The wife ot a rich* Chinese merchant in

there is no remedy.

Governor Lee, in a speech made at
Staunton, Ya., said that the excess of
the Federal troops over the Confederate
forces in the several battles named was
as follows: In the seven days around

of Manassas 25,501, at Sharpsburg
51,007, at Fredericksburg 21,772, at

Wilderness to Petersburg 77,170.
Congress adjourned last Saturday,
after being in session 321 days, the
longest seesion on record. Of’ course
about one-third of the time was wasted
in political maneuvering for party pur
poses. Theconstitutioii should certainly
be amended so that neither house could
sit without a quorum. This way of
having two-thirds of the members scat
tered over the country, making political
speeches, while a handful goes through
the form of meeting and adjourning, is
simply ridiculous.
A new source of immigration promises

These parties do not give the fever scare
as an excuse for leaving that State, but
admit their mistake in settling where the
modes of farming, and the character of
products are so different from what they
have been accustomed to. They can look
to no better country than North Geor
gia, where the greatest possible diversity
of farming rewards the labor of man.
HAVE YOUII TICKETS RIGHT.
It is very important that the tickets
for the Presidential election should be
correct in every particular. We have
seen several forms of the Democratic
ticket in this State, but most of them are
incorrect in some particular.
We are confident that the following
ticket is absolutely correct, and that it
may be safely used ns a guide in the
printing of ballots in this district:
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For President:
Grover Cleveland, ot New York.
For Vice-President:
. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio.
For Electors-at-Large:
Tlios. E. Watson, of McDuffie.
John T. Graves, of Floyd.
For District Electors:
1. .Tames A. Brannen, of Emanuel.
2. Augustus L. Hawks, of Decatur.
3. Thomas B. Felder, Jr., of Laurens.
4. James M. Mobley, of Harris.
5. James A. Gray, of Fulton.
0. Bobley D. Smith, of Crawford.
7. M’Connell J. Johnson, of Bartow.
8. John T. Jordon, of Hancock.

10. E. Howard Callaway, of Burke,
-
FOR CONGRESS, 7TH DISTRICT, GEORGIA:
Judson C. Clements.
Remember the election will occur Tues
day, Nov. 6, two weeks from next Tues
day. Georgia ought not to send up a
small aud scattering vote for the Dem
ocratic ticket on that day. The people
should turn out in every militia district
and give Cleveland and Thurman a rous
ing vote.
Seventy-five thousand majority is what
we want in Georgia. Nothing less will be
worthy of the prestige of this State as
the leader of Southern Democracy. Vote
and see that your neighbor votes.
THE JiONDS PLACED.
While Wall street is devoting much of
its attention to live Southern enterprises,
London is likewise looking to that field,
and English investors are showing sub
stantial faith in the good railroad prop
erties of the new South.
A large bond sale just perfected by the
Marietta A North Georgia Railway Com
pany in London is the latest evidence of
the fact. Mr. George It. Eager, general
manager of the Marietta A North Geor
gia lias received a cablegram informing
him that the foreign financial agents of
his company, Messrs. S. J. Hambro Sc
Sons, London bankers, had succeeded in
placing all the bonds which lie recently
put in their hands for sale. The bonds
held by Hambro Sc Sons were all allowed
to be sold to the entire amount necessary
to complete the road between Atlanta
and Knoxville and insure the finishing of
the through line with all possible dis
patch. The price at which the London
bankers sold the bonds was par.
The success of the negotiation lias
made considerable talk 011 Wall street
and will, no doubt, direct anew attention
to the property that may soon make it
a factor in the big deals now pending in
Southern railroads.
James F. Jackson, vice-president of the
road, was asked about the London deal.
He reiterated all that Mr. Eager had
said, and spoke with enthusiasm of the
prospects of the road.
