The rumors that some malicious jer Sons have been so industriously circulat ing iu this section recently to the effect that the new Editor and proprietor of The Democrat is a Radical, tlie good people will find, by reading the pai>cr, to be an infamous falsehood.

Vtl.KIIKTOHV. Our readers are already aware that a change has been made iu the proprietor ship and editorial control of The Dem wn.vr, and it now only remains for us to spy, farewell. In doing this, few words are necessary. We have many friends here whose good opinion we value alsrve the price of rubies, and to them we re¬ turn our sincere thanks, and in the fu tine will endeavor to better merit their good opinion. To the people of Talia¬ ferro county, than whom not a county in the State has a more littoral or high minded population ; we return thanks for thousands of nets of kindness anil generous, warm-hearted friendship ; and wherever'our future lot may be cast, we can never forget this people. To several griitlrincii we are under obligations for clljciciit aid ill |s-i forming the arduous task that falls to the share of even a country editor. To those who may have done ns injustice, we say it is forgiven, and only ask for the same charity for ourself. In the editorial course we have pur sOcd for t he. past three years, we have tried hard to make Tiie Demociiat useful as well as a welcome visitor to its readers, and though It were impossible to avoid error, We fetf that the tiles of I'll e !)kmoc’h at are as free as any jour- 11:,1 in the State.

W. D. SUtLIVAN. SALUTATORY. Tho people of Crawford villa and sur¬ rounding country, we have no doubt, greatly regret the retirement of Mr. W. J). Sullivan from The Democrat, and well they may, for, from what we already observe, lie has endeared himself to the people of the county in strong ties of personal friendship, and they like him not alone for his ability and unswerving integrity as a journalist, but for his ge¬ nial, social qualities. In taking tlie place of Mr. Sullivan we, of course, feel some misgiving. He is a writer of easy fluency, and the people know him, while we are comparatively unknown, and must needs ingratiate ourself before we can expect much. Wishing Mr. Sullivan i*aee and hap pillMH uUk , ht , mav autl an b ^ L,a. ho , richly deserves, we now enter upon the eilluer Inar ked out heretofore. .. ,a lliOHNTUN. *«• - - — - • ■ mm - 1*011110.

Git GOG W RIGHT. it is with great sorrow and regret that we must chronicle the death of Mr. Henry Gregg Wright, the brilliant young editor of tlie Augusta Chronicle and Con stituti 0 nali. 1 t. He was a young man of rare attainments. He de-d Sunday eve¬ ning, of congestion ot tie brain, at his uncle’s residence—Judgt Herschel V. Johnson—at the age of 29 years. His first entree into public lib after journal¬ ism wastes a member of the Constitu¬ tional Convention of 1*7. Ever since then he has been a promiient member of the legislature. We minimi him for his genius, and loved him aeordingly. — • - Fees 01 lKu tTs. The fee of doctors is an item that very many persons are. into rated in just at present.
