FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 20. 1875.

“ J oil rnalistic Dead-Boats.”
In tlio lost issue of the Tulhotton
Standard, Col. Washington ficco
protic Miimfonl very modestly (7)
conn s out in an artie'e to relieve the
country from tint curse of journalistic
dcnd-lasuts. It is the Georgia Dress
Association which affords the oppor
tunity. It is a touching story of
wrong and outrage which this article
linfcdds, and one which nq Georgian
can read without blushing for his
country. It is a talc of systematic
robbery, the victims of which have
been the poor and comparatively
helpless editors, whose “free hash”
has been too lavishly bestowed upon
those who lay no claims to journal
ismmttside a press excursion.

has given its a rare
treat, and one from which the edu
cated man or woman would not turn,
even for the slightest recreation, to a
dime novel or mclo-dratna. Such lit
erature is not at all nauseous (?), ex
cept to a perverted taste, in any
mood, to say nothing of the more so
ber moments.
The cause of alarm with the irre
pressible Colonel seems to be that
too much ‘'free hash“ wid be coti-
tunned by these “galoots,” “cheeky
impostors,” “ underhanded beggars,”
“pusillanimous dead heads,” and he
applies other friendly and Christian
like (God save the mark!) epithets,
which are becoming to a Christian
gentleman, and well worthy of the
■ president of the Y. SI. C. A.
Some of thesu “ galoots ’’ left their
own business, at tho earnest solicita
tion of members of the press, to rep
resent, or mts-represent, if it suits
him Letter, their papers in the con
vention. The writer of this article
wont on a free mis*—didn’t cost a
cent, Muujfofd—from tho Visitor

that sickness in the editor’s family

had it not been for the llings made at
the Visitor in another column, we
should not have taken any of his pi
cas article to ourself.
ile complains of their big talking,
and boisterousness, but they were not
b ud enough to drown the voice of
Id uniford. Mo, for that sweet and
'•<lotions voice of “Country boys
come to town” could bo heard in the
public street, above the din and roar
of all the vehicles, or the song of a
“galoot.” Neither was that clarion
Voice of “ Tiger!" after each applause
Stilled by the voice of an “underhan
ded beggar.” We do not think that
he has any right to complain of a
w ant of ‘free hash,’ or of O. A. I'., as
the indications were that lie was well
supplied with each, and particularly
the latter.
We opine that the Standard office
has lately been crowded with sour
krout and lager, arid the editor,Jins
been compelled to throw off his bile,
and selected the “ pusillanimous dead
beats ” as a subject.
Now, in order to keep the “people
from tilin' ing us a set of donkeys,”
let’s toat fair, and we close this Jav

above, and we will
tell yon something more about the
late Georgia Press Association.
C. R.
Note.—The facts stated by our
Cataula reporter, in regard to his
right to be present, are true in even
respect. The meeting was not ono
of the members of the Association
exclusively, but every editor iti the
Slate was requested to attend, either
in person or by proxy; and had it
not been right for the Visitor to
have had a representative, the presi
dent of the association, Col. Estiil, is
too upright a man to have furnished
us with the passes requested. Both
of our representatives have been our
friends, and the friends of the Visi
tor, from the start, and had as much
authority to alter 1 the convention as
any one who was there.- —Ed. Visitor.
The reportoi ial arena of the
Hamilton Visitor contains at h-ast a
doaen “ lions of the pen.” Send ’em
all on the next press excursion, Bold
ly. You’ll not be in style, if you
don’t do that.
Our reporters agree to go, provided
Mnmford, of the Talbotton Standard,
will promise to stay at home.
Rpports from Catnula.
All quiet along the Ossahalchee—
no seining this week.
Several heavy rains have recently
fallen in this section.
Now is the time to sow turnip
seed,
Johnny O’Neal shot a mad dog
last week.
If those who complain about our
saying nothing about the crop will
gi\o us a crop to talk about, we will
do so to their entire satisfaction.
Draughts at Catania are daily in
creasing in attraction, and we hope
soon to lie able to bring forward the
champion.
Dluo Spring challenged Hamilton
to a spe ling match, which was ac
cepted, Who backed out, and why
this “ tlmsness? ”
The T. I!, says he has a devil.
We knew something was the matter
with him—that pipe business did the
work. The E. H. has something—we
presume, “love on the brain,” though
we have’been told it is convalescence
under which he suffers. If someone
will tell us what is the matter with
the W. S. It. we shall “ requiescat in
pace.”
Quite a large crowd attended the
comniencinent exercises at Planters’
Seminary last Wednesday, and every
one seemed well pleased with the ex
amination. Several prominent men
made speeches, after which others
were called for. ILwe wo would
suggest that it adds nothing to the
dignity of any occasion to call on ev
ery young tnan tin t happens to he
present to make a speech, and we sin
cerely hope that this abominable and
disgusting habit w ill be abolished.
The 15. S. R. speaks of Carmichael,
as moderator—wonder if he has ref
erence to the Rev. Carmichael, who
is quite an acceptable and worthy
minister of the gospel? Ho also
states that Mullens preached, etc.
Guess he is a divine also, but the 15.
S. I>. forgot to state it.
We will wager a brass ring that
the president of the Y. M. C. A. at
Talbotton can get more Sunday-school

Maj. A. J. Huff was the donor, and

E. T 5. Gammcll, Esq., lias sent to
our sanctum a peck of delicious pea

to our friend Elias, and may ho live
long and prosper.
Mr. S. I). Hancock has kindly pre
sented us with a peck of the best ap
ples in Georgia. This fruit would
sell well in any market. We tender
him our thanks, and wish “ many
more happy returns of the occasion.”
The irrepressible Colonel was at
tho examination, and from the signs
of the times, ho has changed his no
tion about that Hamilton belle, and
has found a charm at Cataula. The
gallant Captain, however, stands
ready to take his place. Sail in, gen
tlemen ; we know a few fellows that
will he able to sympathize with you.
The supply of white pine is about
out at Catania, hence loafers are for -
ced to the necessity of whittling the
chairs. This should not be ihns, and
we hope our enterprising merchants
will have a supply brought up at
once. White pine isjinuch easier to
whittle than maple, and our loaf-.rs
should have the best.
Our esteemed friends, “.date,”

Charley, because he is a hard case,
and keeps it from raining on their
crops. We say to Charley, if he is a
harder case than the other two, to
go, by all means, and stand not upon
the order of going, but go at once.
The spirit of progress seems to be
on the wane at Catania. The cross
ties piled up at the side entrance
should bo replaced with steps; a lock
is needed on the post-office case; the
switch slap)e needs driving down; a
plank is off at the crossing; a few
planks nailed on would keep the pigs
from sleeping under the house. All
theso improvements were contem
plated, but hard times will carry tUem
over to another crop.
Marshal Kimbrough has returned
from the agricultural convention. lie
reports that the trip was a pleasant
one, and fine crops all along the route.
The W. 11. TANARUS!. proposes to return
the umbrellas that were lost at the
celebration by young men in this sec

If the arrangement is effected, he

Preaching has been announced at
the new church, for the 2d Sabbath

We learn that the frame of the build

be completed by or bofuro that time.
We are under lasting obligations to

week, claimed to have been writ—

that he read the code of 187:5, and
learn what forgery is, and llie penal

been prevailed upon to make allow

Business has improved wonderfully
in the last week, and wo hope it will
continue to do so.
Otto of those “ shining lights ” made
a short visit to this neighborhood re

A gentleman remarked, (he other
day, that he would not hardly realize
a flat grain per acre from his corn
crop. Also that the bees bad slight
ed his cotton bloom o , on account ot
their being so near the ground. This
is the poorest prospect we have yet
heard of.
Cool nights; and sound sleeping is
a natural consequence fir the people;
while the poor fowls are afraid of be

Mr. A. J. Williams lost a horse

Oli; how I long for thee! ”
Two brothers once fell in love with
the same young lady, and both were
very particular not to let each other
find it out. Hut, alas! the eat has
succeeded in making its escape from
the wallet. One of them has told the
fair one of his fond, undying affection
for her. The other expects to do the
same thing soon; raid tho conse
quence is, they both now stand, like
two kittens, on the p'nnaele of de
spair, wondering which one is to lie
shoved off. Strange to say, they
smoke the social cigar now and then.
In the next issue we hope to be
able to give to our readers an account
of the crop prospects in portions of
the district that we have heretofore
Been unable to vL-r.
We are led to w-mder whoilier Kn

his leaving it here, about this time, as
it always makes a dot wherever it is

April a year ago, came last Monday
evening. The water was two feel
above the top of the bridge near Mr.
EHTson’s, and the hands woiking the
road on tin* other side were compell
ed to wait til a late hour before they
could cross over to get to their
homes. Great damage was done to
the crops on the bottom lands. Wa
ter gaps and plantation bridges were
swept a wav on all sides; while the
fodder hanging oil the Cora i(a ks
was forced to the ground, and cither
washed away or ruined. Many of
the oldest citizens say that it was the
heaviest rain they have seen iu a num
her of years.

A neighboring farmer says .ho lias

get straight..
Cotton has begun to open on high

damp weather for saving fodder.
It is thought by many good farm
ers that barely half a crop of cotton
will be made in tht> section. Crops
of all kinds have differed from vi
