LETTER FROM JASPER,
Jasper county has had an epi
demic of shows, and many an extra
dollar has left the poc kets of our
people. We understood that one
ol the troftpes concluded it would
make its ho’.el bill by giving leg
bail, but they reckoned without
their Lost, as they were forced to
come to terms with the proprietor
who followed them to Covington.
“We wero glad to see several of
Putnam’s extizeus in Monticello last
week. Come to bring cotton and
haul back guano to within several
miles of Eatonton. What is the
matter with Eatonton ? bho will
h«ve to look to her laurels, or her
trade in cotton will he diminished,
lioriticello has Athens, Augusta and
Charleston in almost a direct line,
anil, according to quotations, each
paying from J to J cent per pound
more for cottou than Savannah. Our
railroad i3 continually improving,
and soon other trains will be put on
giving the people accommodation
that will be highly appreciated, The
efficient president of the C, &. M .
laihoad is bending all his energies
for the success of the road and the
upbuilding of this country, to which
he has given his vigorous manhood,
and to which he is now devoting his
riper years. Jasper county owes
him a debt of gratitude for his fear
less, faithful work when in the Leg.
islatnre,. and should stand by him
now while, he works for home.
There is a rumor afloat about town
that Eatonton is about to lose one of
Us merchants, while Monticello
gains one. Well, let tliem come on
we will receive them with open arms
and help them all we can. It is
encouraging to think of Jasper’s
future. Hillsboro is moving rapidly
forwai-d, and will soon be all that
heart could w ish, Its school facili
ties are now magnifi‘ent, and her
people soy it is nil that heart could
desire os there is on the roll not far
from a hundred, and as I told you
in a former letter our teacher in
Monticello has no superior as a
teacher any where. We speak de
liberately when we say that it is a
luxury to patronize him, for brain
and heart is cared for under him.
Then there is Machen and Shady
Dale, flourishing on the northern
borders of our couuty. All we need
lo make our count}' an inspiration
and joy, is smaller farms’and immi
gration and the tendon cy of things
are in that direction. I suppose
you saw the letter of Mr, Jordan
with reference to immigration and
other matters in last week’3 N uvvs
It will not be many years before the
work will be done and then plenty
and prosperity will spread a! over
our land. We hav t e been told that
bad men come out of Jasper county.
Of course they do. Tho devil came
out of Heaven, but that is no sign
vkat the good and the great are not
there.
We are waiting and hoping for the
time when the joys and sorrows of
life shall blond in the contentment
of prosperity, and our grand old
State be wbat her motto says, an
'‘Empire.’* To that end all counties
ihould labor.—Eatonton Messenger.
The rain that fell last Sunday
was badly needed and Yery much

A GREAT CURIOSITY.
There is in this county a most
wonderful curiosity, known as the
balanced rook. It is about nine
miles from Madison and in full
view of the C. & M. railroad. After
crossing railroad the Appalachee river, the
makes a sweeping curve at
the base of a large hill and from the
car windows of the train on the left,
the 6ide curiosity hill can largo be plainly seen. On
of the a rock crops out
from the surface and on it there is a
huge boulder somewhat of the s.iape
of an inverted cone. The boulder is
in a perfect state of equipoise and
the base upon which it rests is so
small boulder, m proportion it to tho size of
the that is said that a
man can shake it.
Capt. Shouse, the gentleman 1 }'
conductor of the C. &. M. railroad
informs The Madisonian that num
bers of his passengers who are
Northern tourists have heard of
ba'aneed rock and regard it as great
curiosity.—Madis onion.
Wo clip the following complimen
tary notices of Col. Livingston, the
President of the State Alliance:
Hon. John T. DeJarnetteof Put
nam county H being advocated os a
suitable man for the presidency of
the State Alliance. No doubt the
gentleman is in every sense worthy
of the exalted compliments now be
ing published about him, but we
would like to know what are the ob
jections to Col. Livingston? Is he
not fit? If so, why all this public
clamor for a change?—Rockdale
Banner.
We have received an earnest appeal
from the Putnam County’ Alliance
advocating the name of lion. John
T, DeJarnetto, of their county’, as a
suitable man for the Presidency of
the State Alliance. The Doctor is a
safe man for any position, but we
are of the opinion that Hon. L. F.
Livingston is the best equipped
man in the state for this important
and responsible position —Coving
