The following sketch of lion. A. G.
McCurry, of this pl*ce, who is a candidate
fir Solicitor-General of the Northern Cir
cuit, we take from Biographical Sketches
•f the Members of the last Legislature :
“ Oar subject is a very young man. and
was born of most respectable parents of
Scotch descent, on the 17th of February.
18.12. He is among the very voungest
members of the General Assembly. Hr
is a graduate of the State University, and
upon leaving college entered the legal pro
fession. To be a lawyer is not a simple
choice with Mr. McCurry, but it is a pas
sion, and such devotion to one’s pursuit as
actuates hint cannot fail of brilliant results,
and no young lawyer in the country is out
stripping the member from Hart in achiev
ing a noble success. He is taking strong
hold on the affections of his constituents,
and his election proves it. His majority
of 400 is the largest ever received by a
candidate in bis county, with one excep
tion. \Vc predict for Mr. McCurry a bril
liant and successful career, if bo only
presses on with the ardor and intelligent
purpose with which he begins bis life. In
the House, Mr. McCurry is au ever pres
ent member, and frequently a participant
in debates. He is a member of several
important committees, to-wit : Corpora
tions. State of the Republic. Privileges
and Elections, and Public Printing.”
It is proper to add to the above sketch,
that at the opening of the summer session
of 1879, Mr. McCurry was by vote of the
House added to the Judiciary Committee,
and made a faithful member until about
the Ist of September, 1879, he was stricken
down with typhoid fever, and prevented
lrom attending the remainder of the session.
EBITOHIAL KKEVITIKN.
Gen. John B. Gordon ami Hon. Thos.
M. Norwood arc now at work for the Dem
ocratic party in Florida.
VVk see it stated that anew daily paper
is soon to be started in Atlanta. Another
eet of men preparing to break.
The Republican gains of Representa
tives in Vermont, Ohio and Indiana will
give them control of the next House.
A notkp and relentless Radical negro
was kicked to death by a mule near
Barncsville last week. We forbear com
ment.
Thk Dahlonoga telephone company have
erected a line of telephone posts from the
depot in Gainesville to Dahlonega, and the
wire is being put up rapidly.
The next session of the Georgia Legisla.
ture will be gracefully adorned and highly
perfumed by the perspiration under the
arms of fifteen colored brethren.
From our exchanges we learn that the
old residence of John C. Calhoun, in the
southern portion of Pickens county, S. C.,
was burned last Sunday night week.
A MAN by name of Lindsey Conners,
living in Milton county, hung himself a
few days ago in his own yard with a well
rope. Domestic troubles thought to be
the cause.
We arc quite sorry to learn that it is
generally believed that Capt. T. P. Ben
son, of Spartanburg, committed suicide,
instead of dying of heart disease, as we
stated last week,
Nellie Hubbard, the daughter of the
ex-Govcrnor of Connecticut, who married
her father's coachman, has not been for
given. She takes in sewing while her hus
band drives a hack.
One of the grand reasons for the Demo
cratic defeat in Indiana is that Mr. Lan
ders, the nominee of the Democratic party,
was not as strong as his party, lie was
not popular, and was not the right man to
have made the race.
Broken bone fever is raging to an
alarming extent in Augusta, and the bus
iness of the city crippled to a considerable
extent therefrom. Half the force of the
Augusta Evening News are prostrated
with the dengue thing, as they term it.
Hon. B. H. Hill says he has never
placed Hancock’s success on Indiana and
Ohio, and notwithstanding both these
States have gone Republican, tho Demo
cratic candidate for President will be
elected. We hope Mr. Hill's views are
correct.
Hon. 11. 11. Caklton, of Athens, was
admitted to the practice of law at Hall
(court, in Gainesville, last week. Dr. Carl
ton possesses a fine talent, is one among
the most forcible speakers in the State,
and we predict for him large success at
tbe practice of law.
The National Democratic Committee
and the Indiana State Democratic Com
mittee publish addresses, asking the De
mocracy to make strong etlorts to carry
the November election. One address
comes from New York, and the other from
Indianapolis. All right; here we go—
altogether !
An Elbert county negro woman gave
birth to a child last week that weighed on
ly one and a quarter pounds. At last ac
counts it was living and Jccms Harper
was making preparations to carry it around
over the Northern States and exhibit it.
We hope he will meet with success. Only
twenty-tive cents a peep.
(jUITK scene occurred In George
town. South Carolina, last week. The
house of Mrs. Fannie Easterling was con
sumed by fire. Mrs. Easterling failed to
escape, and while the fire was raging she
stood on the third story balcony and was
burned to death in sight of her friends and
relatives. They motioned to her to jump
from the balcony, but she seemed dazed,
and could not comprehend them, and thus
perished.
TIIERE areja great many reasons being
given by the knowing ones why III* Demo
crats met with defeat in Indiana. Senator
It. H. Hill, of this State, says that Senators
Bayard and Hampton are responaible for*
the loss of Indiana, and seems, inclined to
deal with the gentlemen rather roughly.
I think, says he, that Hampton’s speech
at kStaunton, Virginia, in which the South
Carolina Senator said, *1 am hero in de
fense of principle for which l.ee and Jack
son died,’ was very impolitic. Hampton
is no politician, and he should never be al
lowd to open his mouth.
Bayard's New York speech, denouncing
(be grcenbackers, was also an unfortunate
effort, as it drove Indiana greenbackers
away from the Democrats, when they
would have been united witli our party in
the great struggle if the speech had not
been made. The speeches of Bayard and
Hampton were mailed to every portion o(
Indiana, and I believe that those two gen
tlemen were the cause of the Democrats
losing that State.
Let this be os it may, the loss of Indiana
is a stunner to the Democrats,’and is about
asetoirfor Maine. The loss of ludiana
h.'ing only a set off with Maine, the Dem
oert.s have lost no more ground than they
have gained, and the chances for electing
Hancock and English arc still good.
It is (bought by some that on last Tues
day week Indiana anil Ohio struck the
death knell to the -!)cn ocrati: prospects of
electing Gen. Hancock. Both these States
went Republican. Ohio was considered
doubtful by the Democrats. In Indiana
the Democrats were certain of success,
and the unexpected defeat is a shock to the
Democracy. A Democratic majority in
that State was considered by many a ne
cessity in the Presidential race. There are
certain contingencies, however, in which
the Democratic party can succeed without
Indiana, and we still expect to see Gen.
Hancock elected President in November
and the Union redeemed.
Thk clocks in Georgia seem terribly de
moralized over Colquitt's election. Next
to the Macon clock comes G. S. Swilling’*,
uf Athens. Last Friday night 10 minutes
before 9 o’clock it commenced and struck
103 times without stopping, and at its reg
ular time for striking 9it struck 2. At 10
minutes to 1 it struck 80, and 10 minutes
later it became itself again and struck 1.
When Joe Brown is elected United States
Senator we listen to hear of all the Demo
cratic clocks in the State being demoral
ized, and would not be at all surprised to
hear of their going crazy for all time to
come.
The notable numbers $329 which are
being painted all over the United States
and going the rounds of the press, origina
ted from this : Oakes Ames paid over to
Gen. Garfield $329, as balance of Divi
dends due upou his Credit Mobilicr stock.
Garfield falsely swore that he had “never
owned, received, or agreed to receive any
stock of the Credit Mobilier,” “nor any
dividend arising therefrom.” Is a bribe
taker and perjurer tit to bo President of
the United States?
Wk stated last week that there was dan
ger of a Republican being elected to Con
gress from the first District in this State,
from the fact that there were two Demo
crats and one Republican in the Held. We
are glad to state that this danger has been
averted, Col. McDonald, the Independent
candidate, having withdrawn in favor of
Col. Black, the regular Democratic nomi
nee, which means certain defeat to Collins,
Republican.
The Augusta Evening News has hoisted
to its mast bead the name of Gen. A. R.
Lawton, for United States Senator, to be
ratified by the Legislature. Judging from
late expressions by the people of Georgia,
we are strongly of the opinion that Bro.
Moore will find that the members of the
Legislature will have such abiding confi
dence in Joe Brown’s judgement that he
will lead General Lawton by a largo ma
jority.
While other Districts are having livley
times over their election of Congress mem
bers, the people in this District have
almost forgotton that wo are to elect a
member to Congress from the Eighth. Yes,
we are all to turn out out on the 2d day of
November and help to make Hon. Alex.
11. Stephens a warrantee deed to tho scat
in Congress from this District.
State fairs are now in order, and the
swells will go and spend every dollar they
have made during the past year. There is
nothing liko pretensions—make people
think you arc rich whether you are worth
a dollar or not. That is the way to make
people know you arc —a fool.
The prohibitionists in this State are
now more actively at work than ever be
fore. Whisky is being rooted out of
quite a number of the counties, and an ef
fort before a great while will be made to
legislate it out of the State.

Letter from Texas.
Mkhhkh. Editor#: I sec in your issue
of September 29th, that you state it to be
a settled fact that Maine has a Democratic
Governor elect, in the person of Mr.
Plaisted. Why do you fail to tell the
public he was nominated as a straightout
Grecnbacker. and the Democrats could not
have carried the State by 40,000. You
fail also to state that they requested Plais
ted make pledges to them when they gave
him their endorsement, and that he per
emptorily declined. That their State Cen
tral Committee subsequently demanded
pledges of him, and upon his second re
fusal the said committee requested him to
withdraw as a candidate, and that he de
clined to do that also. The Democrats in
Maine showed their good sense by voting
the Greenback ticket. I myself, being a
subscriber to your paper feel sorry to hear
of one of my friends in my native State
and county misrepresenting as pure a man
as Plaisted. If you Georgians are not bet
ter posted in the great issue before the peo
ple than Gen. Hancock, we Greenbackers
can look over ignorance. Gen. Hancock
sent a congratulatory dispatch to Plaisted,
and it seems thought Plaisted was the
Democratic candidate for Governor. It is
in evidence that the “Superb ” isn’t post
ed in politics. It is my greatest desire
that a majority of the States follow the
example of Maine, then Gen. Weaver will
take his position at the head of the nation.
B. F. Roberts.
Eds.—We arc thankful that our well
posted Texas friend magnanimously looks
over the ignorance of Ucn. Hancock as
well our own.

OLD STYLE.
Sitting in the cool shade or by the
cosy fire, waiting for the periodical
drummer to exhibit his samples at reg
ular prices on loug time, telling his long
winded yarns of big profits and large
sales, will do for those who are fifty
years behind the age and do business
on the old fogy credit style. That mail
to whom God has given insight beyond
to-morrow is aware that there is one
thing that never misses the mark, and
that is the
AMERICAN DOLLAR!
A diseased and credit-eaten concern
that will give credit for little worthless
Yankee notions and gewgaws and jim
cracks of all sorts is no advantage to
the country. Don’t buy anything but
meat and bread and the actual neces
saries of life, and the “ Old B.” Guano
and Atlantic Acid Phosphate on credit,
and you are bound to become rich and
prosperous in a few years. If you
have never tried these wonderful fer
tilizers, ask your neighbor about them,
who has had the sagacity to reap the
rich benefits from their use.
We have bought 300 tons of the At
lantic, and are having the “Old B."
manufactured in sufficient quantity to
supply Franklin, Ilart and Elbert coun
ties in Georgia, and Oconee, Anderson
and Abbeville count ies in South Caro
lina.
Persons wishing to use the Atlantic
had better register their names and
amount wanted at once, as only a lim
ited amount can be supplied. We will
furnish the Atlantic on same terms as
we did last season. We have control
of Franklin, Hart and Elbert for this
popular fertilizer, which has given uni
