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.

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. The Savannah Times is fast losing its reputation for fairness by its course late ly. Its untruthful Atlanta correspon dent made it responsible for a foul slan der, and when it assumed the statement as true and wrote a diatribe on the “Mahone of Georgia” it relieved its cor respondent and took the burden on itself. We still demand the proof it claimed to have, and no “prediction” or other ex cuse will answer. Bring ouLypur proof or acknowledge your error.

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. W. 11. F. 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. City Marshal’s Sales. FOR DECEMBER, 1885.
