Big Bird of Gainesville.
The Gainesville Eagle dips its little pin
feather in ink and says:
That Governorship business is too thin
for a compliment and too absurd for seri
ousness. Governor Urotvn would not ac
cept the office if tendered to him, and he is
too wise to be flattered by indiscreet
friends.
Bah ! we know as well as Carey Styles
does that Joe Brown would not have the
Governor’s office; the time has passed
when such men would accept it. Blit that
-does not keep us from wanting such a man.
Hold your “ tater,” brother; we are not
half as big a fool as you—imagine us to be.

We have been authorized to state that

Amusing.
Georgia now has as many little one-horse
cities as it has colonels, and it is amusing
to see one of the would-be aristocratic edi
tors of one of these ‘‘so-called” cities
throw himself hack on his hind legs and
demolish the country newspapers, with the
same dispatch that Sampson did the Phil
istines—and with the same sort of weapon.
Some of these are evidently astonished
at their own wisdom.
Organize !
The people of our County met last week
In the Courthouse, and by an almost unan
imous vote decided to hold primary elec
tions In the various districts of our County
on the second Saturday in October next.
In talking with a great many of the people
of the County, we lind a decided admira
tion and satisfaction of this plan ; and the
vote in the Courthouse last week was a fair
indication that it is the expressed wish of
the people. The plan is simply for every
citizen of the different districts to turn out
on that day and go to the polls and vote
for whoever he desires to represent him in
the next Legislature, and whoever receives
the highest number of votes in the County
are the candidates.
We sincerely hope that every citizen
will go to the polls on that day, and record
by his vote the interest he takes in the
welfare and prosperity of his County ; for
by a lack of co-operation and working ac
tivity of every man there can be no organ
ization or harmony.
There are some few croakers over this
•place who say it does not suit them. To
them we beg to say in all friendship—turn
out, and abide the voice of the majority !
Go and cast your vote, and let us try this
plan one time and theTeby send the best
men we have in Hart County to the next
Legislature. Our worthy and efficient
President, in the selection of managers to
superintend the primary elections has stu
diously endeavored to select good and true
men—working men—men who will go and
hold a fair election; and will faithfully per
form all the duties imposed on them. To
them we say—turn out! and do your ut
most to further the cause and interests of
your party, and let there be a rousing vote
polled, and forever prove the fact that the
people shall and will govern. H.
Communication.
We see the name of A. G. McCurry,
Esq., announced in your last issue as a
candidate for the House of Representatives,
subject to nomination by the Democratic
party. That has the ring of the right
metal. This is getting to be an old County,
and we have never had but one Represen
tative who could get up in his place and
make a speech; that was lion. Allen S.
Turner. McCurry is a line speaker and
rising young lawyer, who will make his
mark, and as the next Legislature will be
one of the most important ever held in the
State, there ought to be a good number of
lawyers in it. Hart ought to be represent
ed this time at least by a man who could
not only vote, but who could get up and
explain and defend the rights of the people
of our County and State. McCnrry can
do that. We hear there are fifteen in the
County anxious to serve the dear people,
and among them some preachers. V\ T e
like preachers in their place but thero will
be no chance to get up a religious revival
among the members of the Legislature in
Atlanta, and besides members are not sent
there to advance the spiritual interests of
our people, hut to make laws for them.
And further, we don’t think dabbling in
politics quite the thing for that profession.
We can count about twelve of the smart
est boys ever raised in Hart who are now
practicing law. physic and other professions
in distant lands. Why? Because the
people do not seem to appreciate native
talent, and if a Hart County boy is ambi
tious to rise in the world, the first thing he
does is to fry to raise money enough to get
away from Hart County. This should not
be so. Our people are willing to employ
lawyers and others, just so they are stran
gers, and ignore the claims of their own
sons who are in every respect worthy and
“to the manor born.” PoPULUH.
Hurl Comity Democratic (inti.

Something New Under the Sun.—A new era is
dawning upon the life of woman. Hitherto she lias
been called upon to suffer the ills of mankind and
her own besides. The frequent and distressing ir
regularities peculiar to her own sex have long been
to her the “direful spring of woes unnumbered.”
In the mansion of the rich and the liovel of poverty
alike, woman Ims been the constant yet patient vic
tim of a thousand ills unknown to man—and these
without a remedy. “Oh, Lord, how long!” in the
agony of her soul, hath she cried. But now the hour
of her redemption is come. She will suffer no more,
for Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator — Woman's
Best Friend—is for sale by all respectable Druggists
throughout the land at $1.50 per bottle.
Near Makiktta, Ga., March 21,1870.
Messrs. Wm. Root & Sons : Aliont one year ago,
I bought a bottle of Bradfiei-d's Female Regula
tor from yon, for one of my daughters who had been
suffering with suppressed menses for some time. I
have had several physicians attending, but met with
no success until 1 was persuaded to buy a bottle of
the Regulator, and it is the very thing for which it is
recommended. She is now in perfectnealth. I hope
all suffering females will at least try one bottle and
have health again. Very respectfully,
