Francis Fontaine, Esqr., a former res
ident of Bartow county, was married to
Miss Nathalie Hamilton, daughter of Dr.
I. >S. Hamilton, of Athens, Ga., on Tues
day the 28th inst. We wish the happy
couple a lifetime of unelouded happiness
and prosperity.
Ex-Senator Conkling is very bitter on
the republican party in New York for
nominating candidates on their wealtli
and their money only. lie is reported
as denouncing Mr. Blaine in unmeasured
terms for dragging the party into the
slums and destroying its prestige for
honesty and justice. “The party is now
in the hands of men who have been the
willing tools of the man from Maine, and
it remains to be seen what they will do
with it.”
Is She Cuilty ?
A trial is now progressing in the city
of Emporia, Kansas, for murder, by pois
oning. The mayor married a young
Creole girl in New Orleans and died
shortly after. She is indicted, and under
going trial for his supposed poisoning,
by the use of arsonic. She is said to be
young, handsome and vivacious. The
prosecution lias made a strong casg, but
the defense lias not been heard at present I
writing.
Messrs. Grady, Hemphill and llow
cll, arc said to be in New York City, on
a visit to the great metropolis. It is un
derstood they became so much disgusted
with Atlanta's muddy water that they
were forced to go abroad, although the
season at watering places and health
Spas is over in most sections. An un
kind rumor is afloat that Dr. Munhall
prevailed on the trio to go abroad until
the prohibition election was over in At
lanta, but we are very sure they have
only gone after a clean fresh drink of
Croton water.
Atlanta's Artesian Well.
From all accounts, the Gate City is in
a bad way for a good water supply.
They have been paying ten dollars a day
for a long time to get an artesian well,
and we suppose the excitement has died
out with no hope of water from that
source. The Atlanta people are a very
patient lot of citizens. They are taxed
unmercifully in their street, improve
ments,'and now they are to go begging
for water after a most exasperating de
lay with the artesian well. No city can
keep healthy without a pure water sup
ply, and we hope Atlanta will have bet
ter luck the next time they set an arte
sian borer to work.
A Royal Wedding.
A few days ago, the oldest son of the
King of Denmark was married to a
French Princess, the daughter of the
Duke de Chartres, (the latter, served on
Gen. McClellan’s stall during the late
war.)
The King of Denmark married a royal
princess of Russia himself. Ilis eldest
daughter, the Empress Dagmar, married
the present Czar. Ilis second daughter
is the Princess Alexandra, who will be
queen of England when her husband, the
Crown Prince Albert, succeeds Queen
Victoria on the throne.
There were thirty-nine Trinces and
Princesses present to see the marriage
well performed, and the dressing and
splendor is said to have been wonderful.
One Way to Raise the Wind.
The members of the Legislature were
very popular with the staff of a certain
evening paper of late growth in Atlanta.
These members were so popular that the
members were requested to loan the edi
tor one of their latest photos, that they
might enliven their columns with a copy
of their handsome features. Potiphar
Peagreen forthwith attended agallerv,
bought a lot of his own picture and loan
ed the editor one as a favor. The pic
tures that appeared subsequently made
the home folks shudder, so terrible were
they in quality and execution,
The editor no doubt cltagrined at the
same result quietly demands ten dollars
each from the Potiphars who *were
silly enough to be caught with chaff.
Nest time, the evening paper will have j
to try anew dodge to raise the wind

JBBisliing out <>:ir life-blood at
Pore. May the Good Lord deliver
such friends! Every car of
that stops in Augusta for the
merchants of Augusta, these enemies
charge us from twenty to sixty dollars
per car more than if they haul it on to
Savannah and Charleston. President
Raoul, every now and then, whines
about a railroad commission. Just such
a state of affairs is the cause or reason of
a railroad commission. The railroad
commission will exist just so long as such
high-handed rascality is practiced upon
the people. * * * I have informa
tion that the Central railroad is deter
mined to make Augusta pay for its ten
per cent, lease of the Georgia railroad as
well as the royalty that is paid to the
street railroad. A lot of old fossijs have
got our city in a terrible fix. Atlanla is
growing, Chattanooga is growing, and
Augusta is also growing—but it is grow
ing like a cow’s tail. Oh, for deliver
ance from the street railroad, and the
Central railroad! The sooner the good
Lord sends for these deceitful men, and
takes them to Glory, will be best for the
coming generation. May the Lord send
a young man solid, who is up with the
times, who can compete with such men
as President Raoul and deliver Augusta
from the street railroad and Central
road.”
Let the Courant readers ponder on
these words well. This is the outcry from
men who are being ruined by unjust
freight discriminations. We understand
the name of the president of the street
railroad to be the editor of the Augusta
Chronicle, and we have therefore
not been surprised to see that paper
denounce everybody as “demagogues”
and “communists’ * who re-sisted
the Central railroad monopoly. The
question now comes up, liow did
the street railroad get such control of
the Central railroad, and how do you ac
count for the harmony between the two
in the light of this wail from men who
are being crushed at “every life pore”
by those two monopolies ?
October.
Did you, dear reader, ever behold a
prettier scene than our October woods,
in these bright, glorious, autumn days?
A prisoner in a. sick room since the 16th
of September, and only able now to
watch these beauties of nature from a
friendly window, there is yet a health
inspiring vigor in the surroundings, a
gayety and profusion of coloring in’ the
landscapes, a brightness and glory in the
lovely atmosphere that puts to shame
any medicated tonic for a feeble, almost
purposeless, invalid. As we look back
on the struggles of the earlier months of
the year—the toil, the heat, the burdens
of the time—we rejoice in the goodness
of the Father, who gives us ease and
rest with the bountiful autumn harvests.
The grand old year 1885, like some
mighty Titan, seated on the everlasting
hills, with a halo of glory around his
brow, waves peace and plenty over the
fruitful fields around. Winter draws
nigh’. This kingly robe of crimson pur
ple and gold will give place to the white
frozen, chilly funeral garment, ia which
the year 1885 will lie down to rest for
ever. But now nature rejoices; she
decorates with a lavish hand—the fields
are rich and full for the harvest, the
birds sing with spring-like fervor, and
the toiling sons of men thank God that
He has remembered us in seedtime and
harvest, and with the close of the year
we have the promise of plenty at home,
with peace abroad throughout bur rich
and prosperous-Imkl.

We still demand the proof it claimed to

Some Inside History-Was it a Co
alition ?
GaMeld waa no sooner eloped than he assum
ed the hostility of the Stalwarts, who had just
saved him from disgraceful defeat, and com
menced coquetting with the Southern Democrats
through their craftiest leader, the late Senator
Hill, of Georgia. He did not leave the com
mencement of this courtship fo Garfield, but
commenced it himself by letter. The letter was
as gratifying to Garfield's vanity as was the
flattery of “Bucket, the detective,” to “the
young man of the name of Guppy.” He assur
ed the President-elect that the South always
had admired him, knowing him to be a states
man, scholar, etc., etc. All the Southern Demo
crats wanted was “good men” for the Federal
offices. Of course, he wanted a sign up at the
White House saying: “No Southern Kepubli
cans need apply.” Garfield replied tenderly to
the letter, and made Hill bold to write another.
The second letter was also answered by Garfield,
and led to personal interviews’ The widow of
Senator Hill has the two letters written by Gar
field, which, if published, would show that the
great Georgian had brought down his game,
high though it flew. Senator Hill stated to a re
liable gentleman, from whom this information is
derived, that he and Garfield together made a
written memorandum of the basis on which the
Administration should receive the support of
the Southern Democratic leaders and the re
turn that should be made by the Administration
for that support. He further stated that this
protocol for a treaty was submitted to a meet
ing of leading Southern Democrats at w ashing
ton, and by them ratified and confirmed. It was
not until this alliance was made that the Gar
field Administration dared to swing clear of.Jlie
Stalwarts and defy their leaders. The intention
of Garfield and Blaine was not to build up the
Republican party, but to tear it down and build
up anew party, in which there should be no
Southern Republicans and no Northern Stal
warts. Of course, the democrats were willing to
aid in the tearing nown process. When it came
to building they wisely chose to build up their
own organization. The new Aministration hav
ing thus cast its lines with the Democratic
South, had no business before it so imuortant as
to determine upon the manner of declaring war
upon the Stalwarts.
We find the above in the New York
World of Oct. 23d. We wish we had
titue and space to give the entire article,
which so clearly and forcibly sets forth
Garfield’s treachery to the Stalwarts ot
New York, who had elected him to the
Presidency. Timtthere was also a “eap
ital understanding” between Garfield
and certain Southern Democrats, we
have never had a doubt. Some letters
were published which throw considera
ble light upon the situation. But in our
opinion, the coalition began much earlier
than Garfield’s election. It began when
Blaine was seeking the nomination
which Garfield obtained. In our opin
ion, when the coalition which was form
ed between Blaine, Garfield and certain
Southern Democrats comes to light the
State of Georgia has never had such an
eye-opener as will then be afforded to its
peculiar politics. The enigma then will
he solved why Mr. Tilden was thrown
overboard and Judge Field received a
solid delegation to Atlanta. A coalition
which was powerful enough in Georgia
to control all the delegates to both the
Democratic and Republican national con
ventions; that could robe and disrobe
Senators; that elected Governors and
scattered money with a lavish hand, is a
combination not to be sneered at. After
Tweed’s downfall in the State of New
York, the people were horrified to think
they had been hoodwinked so long. So
in Georgia, when the full revelation of
the trades and the combinations between
Democratic leaders and Republican
leaders comes, the innocent and honest
Democrats of the State will open their
eves in dismay. Whenever yon hear
a Georgia Democrat of commercial pro
clivities raise the cry of coalition, be as
sured it is simply a repetition of the old
fable, “stop, thief!”
Farm Life.
In every age of the world the life of a
“tiller of the soil” has been attractive to
a majority of men. It is true man can
not live by “bread alone” but they can
not live without it. All food which sup
ports the body is from the earth. A wise
providence has so organized the mental
and physical structure of most men that
they are inclined towards tho occupation
which is essential to the world's sustena
tion.
Farm life is “from God.” It is the
only trade or business pursuit He ever in
stituted. We therefore reasonably con
clude it is the avocation most likely to
develop or which is most favorable to
the development of a perfect mental,
moral and physical manhood. The farm
has in all ages and nearly in alt countries
furnished the brains and the muscles
which have pushed the world onward
and upward. The men of enterprise —
morehauts, manufacturers —the men who
build cities —the men who construct and
operate railroads and steam-ships success
fully—the scholars and statesmen of the
world have generally started life upon the
farm. It is the world’s nursery from
which the world as occasion and neces
sity may demand —transplant its choice —
minds and hearts into other and broader
fields of human work.
One of the difficulties in farm life in
our State is the desire and tendency of
energetic young men to abandon this
“high calling” of tilling the soil for the
excitements, speculations, and too often
the dissipations of town and city life. In
other words farm life in Georgia is los
ing its attractiveness. It don’t draw.
If it wins here and there one select mind
and heart it seems unable to hold or bind
its follower. Why ? partly because of
evils and wrongs that might be correct
ed. Let the young farmer feel that he
can live more comfortably—better dwell
ing-better furniture—better food—more
desirable amusements —books, newspa
pers—churches and school houses in his
country neighborhood—than he can in
the neighboring town and city and im
mediately this country migration to cities
is arrested. But it is said we cannot
jnake or command the money in the
country essential for these things. IV ill
the farmers of the State who thus talk
remember that the towns and cities in
the State are simply the products of their
farms. That splendid residence with its
luxuries —those immense warehouses —
that most desirable equipage—those com
fortable church buildings—school facili
ties—th t elegant ease and abundant sup
ply'i V—each and all are only the
*Georgia farms transmuted by
a mereial alchemy into these
- ' of Ge<^Hs|
build up by their industry the cities of
the State at the expense of their own
homes. We sometimes see a hill top or
knoll denuded of its soil. In common
parlance “it would not sprout peas.”
The soil has washed down into a neigh
boring basin or' an adjoining bottom
which is made unnaturally fertile and
productive as the receptacle of the sur
rounding fertile soil, just as in the case
with entire farms and sections in Georgia.
They are denuded—dilapidated—worn
out—uninviting—distasteful-their wealth
—their products have been washed off in
to an adjoining town or city. There we
find accumulated the fruit —the result
of many years of toil. Hence the unnat
ural growth and prosperity of some
cities. lienee the decay of “farm life”
in Georgia. Unless the farmers change
this course of things, in a few years all
the wealth and intelligence and material
comfort of the State will be concentrated
in our cities and towns while the country
will be turned oyer to an illiterate semi
civilised multitude of serfs.

Two Cray Tourists.
Edited by Col. Richard M. Johnson,
author of “Old Mark Langdon” “Dukes
borough Tales,” etc.
This is a book that will repay the read
er for all the time he may devote to its
pages. We often see books of travels
which give us but little information about
the countries through which the Tourists
pass. Often they see things and describe
persons in which we have no interest.
We like every day life —common life —in
a book of travels and where the man fond
of antiquarian research is traveling for
onr instruction we want him to have a
companion who is modern in his tastes—
practical and energetic. Then between
the two —we are instructed and amused.
When the reader has gone with these
Tourists over the places about which they
talk he will know almost as much as if
lie had been there himself and a great
deal more than an unscholarly, unread
man could acquire from personal observ
ation. What a pleasure to see strange
and interesting places through the
“spectacles” of a well read man. Buy
and read this book. We have never read
a finer one trom the splendid pen of its
genial author. W. H. F.
LETTER FROM JOSH BILLINGS.
He Sends Ills Tribute to Artemus Ward to
a Friend Shortly Before Death.
Yonkers-Gazette, October 17th.]
Henry M. Shaw, better known to the
world as the humorous author and lect
urer, Josh Billings, died at Monterey,
Cal., suddenly on Wednesday morning,
October 14th, of apoplexy. Mr. Shaw,
whom we knew intimately for over thir
-1 ty years, was born in Lanesborough,
Mass., in 1818. After he was forty years
of age he commenced to write for the
press under the nom de plume of “Sled
length,” but without attracting any great
attention. He then changed his methods
ot literary work, commenced to spell
badly, and, adopting the signature of
“Jo3h Billings,” soon made his mark.
He wrote for some time for the Pough
keepsie Daily Press, of which we were
part proprietor and one of the editors,
and afterward for the Yonkers Gazette
after we assumed charge of this paper.
We received a personal letter from Mr.
Shaw only a few days before his death,
which will be found of interest in this
connection. It is below. Little did he
imagine when penning this letter that his
eulogy of Artemus Ward would, through
his suggestion, become a part of his own
obituary:
Hotel del Monte,
Monterey, Cal., October 2, 1885.
Dear Holden: Some twenty years
ago I was asked to write something in
remembrance of Artemus Ward, who
had then just died in England. It was
suggested that my style be preserved, and
still the matter be somewhat pathetic.
I knew that humor and pathos were close
ly allied, and I drew off the inclosed with
a pencil and gave it to the party who re
quested it. It first appeared in the Troy
Budget, and I never saw it afterward un
til last week in a paper on the Pacific
Coast, where I have been since last May,
and intend to stay until next May. Will
you allow me to ask you to reproduce the
inclosed tribute to Artemus, with any in
troduction to it that may please you? I
hope you will not look upon me as a vain
man when I tell you that I am not only
delighted but astonished at the vitality
of the old “lektur,” which nave read
for the last twenty-three years on the
road. In the first place every line in it
was published in the papers; then it was
put into three different books; then it
has been put into more than one hundred
newspapers as I have delivered it; then
I have read it in every city on this con
tinent that has fifteen thousand people in
it, and hundreds of towns that have not
two thousand in them, and it never has
had any thing added to it, but much cut
away from it, and it is now read from
the same book it was first written in;
and still Jthe brave old munuscript fights
a good fight. I have read it six nights
in California during the last seven weeks,
and been paid for it $750. Its seerm to
me that there must be some sand in the
old words.
Excuse what looks like vanity, but all
this only proves what I had never doubt
ed—that the man who has a fair brain,
undoubted courage, fearless truth, and
honesty can get all he should have in
this world. Inclosed I send a short crit
icism from a small town up the coast
(Detaluma), which supports what I have
just written.
With kind regards to yourself and
family; IHm yours, without a struggle,
Josh Billings.
Here is the remembrance of Artemus
Ward referred to, and it well fits also the
writer, now passed to the other shore:
JOSH BILLINGS ON ARTEML'S WARD.
Deth haz done a cruel thing lately.
Deth seldom iz imparshaH; this iz all
that ken be said in his favor. He moves
his sithe awl round the world, now in
this field, now in that; wheat, flowers
and weeds drbpjWilt and wither, for he
ktfiesciti and town,
by {life narthstiin ami away ofdi wheaethe
wanderers are.
I>eth hez done a cruel thing lately.
Deth iz seldom kind. Here a father, a
mother, a wee small thing but a month
on a visit; there Mary and Charley go
down in white clothes. Deth 'moves;
menny fields are all bare, for Doth cuts
cluss as well as cruel.
Deth luvs to mow; tis his stile. He iz
old and slick with his sickle; he mowed
for Able uv old and for Able ttv yester
day .
Deth mows strangely, and round fall
the daisy and grass, and alone, snarling,
stands the koarse thistle, left for what?
Detli kan’t tell, for God on]}’ knows.
Deth, you have done a cruel thing
lately. You have mowed where the
wittiest one of all stood, whose words
have gone laffing awl over the world,
whose heart was az good and az soft az a
mother’s.
Deth, you have mowed where my
friend Artemus stood, and Humor wears
mourning now for the child of her heart.
I am sad, and I am sorry.
