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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
