With this issue I sever my con nection with The Argus for a peri od of twelve mouths, having leased the paper, togethsr with its good will and everything connected with it, to Messrs, N. J. Harmon and J. G. McDonald, and I bespeak for ihetn that same generous and liberal support that the paper has ever le ceived in my hands I drift into other lields of labor, perhaps in a dsitant state. For many years the paper has been conducted solely by myself and the woik, though arduous and pressing all the time, has in mai y ways been pleasant. If I have ever made an enemy or printed a false hood, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. I have sought to gain friends and never lose one. My association, as editor and publisher of The Argus, with the press ot the state and the people generally, haye been indeed pleas ant and it is with feelings of sincere sadness that I sever my weekly visits to them. It now remain* for me to say fare well, for a season ; but if forever, 'tis all the same, farewell! A third party rally, Bays the Val* dosta Times, which was held in Quitman one day last week, during court, was extensively advertised, and a speaker from Bainbridge was imported and one or two went over from Lowndes Judge Hanstll ad journed court a little before twelve to give them the courthouse, but the audience did not appear. Tnree or four pops put in an appearance, but the imported speaker did not think the crowd sufficient to test his lungs upon, and be left in disgust. The third party in Brooks county is dead. In fact, it is dead everywhere. Still inyentors are at it, tiying to find cheap and clean motive \ ower to take the place ot steam and its attendant coal. One com pany is constructing in Pennsylva nia a heavy freight locomotive en gine to be run by electricity. The engine wheels are 56 inches in di ameter. Meantime in Chicago, also at Neuchatel in Switzerland, gns engines are being used to prorl street cars. One lawyer in Buffalo has fraud* uleatly obtained SISOOOO pension money and yet when Secretary Hoke Smith starts to put a stop to all this wholesale stealing republi can newspapers are thrown in'o spasm of mock indignati. :> and bomb-proof patriots burn hi;:i in effigy. We are willing io 1 y dollars to doughnuts that the 8' 1- diera who fought under Grant, Sh r idan and Sherman will be heart; !v with Mr. Smith before his term <.. office expires,—Macon Telegraph Richmond Di-patch: It w.tld be well for Mr. Harrison not to count any of his chickens before th y are hatched. A party that has survived the hurricanes and cy< 1 nea of a century is not to be hi >,va out of existence by such a fq >*ll as that of Tuesday. Indeed, reverses, if the lessons of tivus* a e rightly understood, may pave the way fir a drmacratic success in 1896.
