Spain ami the -United States.
There are sotflte things a’cOtnraon
mind can comprehend, but the war
like altitude of our government, and
its rumored connection, iithrT direct
or remoter, with Spanish Affairs, does
r not afford us any gtoimd for arriving
:it the purpose of the administration.
Especially is this the case when we
consider Minister Cushing’s report to
Secretary Fish. So for as this report
goes there is shown no Caustu belli
ith Spain.
‘Certainly there is to be no effort
made by the Uuitod States to inter
fere with Cuban difficulties. The oc
casion f*r such a step may have been
offered years age, but there has been
no recent occurrence of any violation
of international law or treaty by Cu
ba; mid, so for as the people know,
we are at peace with every foreign
power.
Oor only serious trouble is on the
Mexioan borders, and if preparations
were making to arbitrate those diffi
culties by an ap|>eal to arms it seems
t> us that land forces-alone could
| meet the emergency. Yet, there is
i o recruiting toft he army, while nil
■ the naval force io afloat or under coin*
i. tniatiou, and many ahipa of war, out
<>! repair, are Wang placed upon a
war footing : vi fact thorc is unusual
activity in all the yards.
I*, would be sheer 'folly to begin
guessing at theobject—•we might vcn
t ire to gaees that Grant had deter
mined to immortalize himself by en
forcing the Monroe doctrine, and
then bo further front the truth than
if we aboald guess it was only a ruse
to divert the attention of the people
from the vital issue -cf administrative
reform.
Mr louit Monday we spent a few
honra vary pleasantly in the olever
family of Dr. It, J. Bruce, of Thom
aavllle. As the Doctor is one of the
best and most prominent men there,
his introdnotsou was a pass to the
friendship and respect of the best oil
mens, with sever A df whom we be
came *erjui***d.
Getting homo just before gdhrg to
proaa, wo have only spaee and time
to say that Thomasville is a flourish
fri?r* and growing oity. Her merch
carry large stooks, sell goods at
fair prices, and her people generally
are boapitablo and polite. The land
nronnd is good, and as tho farmers
diversify their crops, they are not
f mlied to the wall as aro those who
]fent alt cotton.
To Miss Bessie Bruce, the Doctor's
interesting end accomyftrdied daugh
t *r, wo are indebted for a nrioaity
(to us), in the dhape of a banana
flower. Those who wish to know
how this fruit grows oan do so by
calling at our office aud examining

Waverly and Ellerslic Grange*.
December 21, 1875.
Ed. Visitor. —A visit to Waverly
Hall, and the pleasure of mingling
w ith the P. of 11. in that section w li
the happy fortune of your correspon
dent.
I was invited to a Grange meeting
at that place on tho 17th. The
Grange was opened by W. M., G. A.
B. Dozier, at 4r. m. After the ini
tiation of several candidates, and con
sultation on subjects of great impor
tance to agriculture, the Grange was
suspended for one hour. We repair
ed to the academy and enjoyed the
finest supper of the aeasoa. The ta
ble was beautiful and, on it wa< meats
and breads of different kinds, oran
ges, apples, and everything that heart
could wish, were furnished by Win.
Luttrell aud E. J. Stanford.
In addition to all of tbi*,. W.
M. Dozier placod upon the table
twelve largo bottles of bis luscious
wines. So there was nothing want
ing to make it agreeable to the taste,
and as everything was arranged by
Mrs. L. of course it was beautiful to
the eye.
The quality and quantity of these
refreshments was sufficient proof of
the good tas-e of the ladies of Wav
erly and tho liberality of the above
named gentlemen.
After we had enjoyed u much of
the refreshments as prudeuce would
allow, wo returned to the Grange
Hall, and heard many good sugges
tions from some of the best farmers
in the county. Among the number
were Messrs. Stanford, Kilpatrick
aud Marshal.
This mooting could not list always
aad we all partedconsiilcrnbly revived
and more determined than ever to
be farmers instead of mere planters.
Our own enjoyment had not as
yet ended, for after enjoying the hos
pitalities of a friend wc loft the good
people of Waverly Hall to enjoy our
selves uraong Uw I*, of 11. around
Ellorslie. Wo arrived at the last
named plaoe at 11 o’clock a. m , and
after a few salutations, greetings and
a social confab, we were invited to
the now storehouse of Robert Car
ter, and partook freely of refresh
ments provided by tho matrons of
Ellerslic, aud us at Waverly, there
was an ample sufficiency of things
“good.’’
After refreshments were enjoyed
Klleralio Grange met for eketihn and
installment of officers. T. J. Gran
beKry, W. M. for coming year. Sug
gestions for good of the Order oalled,
to which W. L. N. G. Oalis Past M.
E. P. Willis, and Dr. Ashford re
sponded, with many good feints to
farmers.
I would say thnt the farmers in tho
vicinity of Waverly and Eilerslie are
making preparations fora better day.
Their conversation would show that
they are disgusted with the past sys
tem of hiring “more freedinon to
make more cotton to buy more corn.”
Ttoeir fields of grain prove that they
are determined to diversify their
farmii, and be independent. In con
clusion I would say if our present
Senator would take advice given by
these brother’s, feis horse would no
longer bo fr'gbtenod at M corn on the
cob.”
The two above named<Sranges?m
phatically denounce thotrafliein farm
produce, and as Cataula has done,
resolved to withhold patronage from
those who engage in the traffic.
With many thanks to Waverly and
KMerslie, I am, yours, respectfully,
‘•A Gukst."

of Idaho wiH find out that where one
Democrat votes for Grant ten Repub

Samuel will find himself as much mis
taken as when he attempted to hood

The Belies of Hamilton.
Hamilton, December, 1875.
Ed. Visitor.— -In your issue of the
I f>! h, you present to your readers
some sprightly and telling verses
beaded “The Beaux of Hamilton.”
Now, while we appreciate the-e ver
ses as a literary effort, yet we do
most earnestly and solemnly protest
against 'lie shocking manner in which
their author has made wholesale
bridges over the lovely noses of our
fair belles. We waited with eager
impatience the last issue of your pa
per fully expecting to find therein a
production from the ready pen of
your new (?) contributor, in which
the amende honorable, would he niad-e
by chronicling the varied charms and
graces of our lovely belles. We were
disappointed however, and this ten
der susceptible heart of ours feels
most keenly the slight which our la
dies have received. Indeed, Mr. Ed*
itor, we are wrought tip to a pitch of
disperation, which you w ill clearly
perceive to he a fact, when we tell
you that we ourselves have decided
to perpetrate some poetry (?) dedi
cated to our village belles. We wish
however, to impress it upon you,
that we are not actuated by any
“ vaiu desire for glory,” neither are
wo unmiud.'al of the feet that awi-e
fellow once wrote “ rather ‘-bear the
ills we have, than fly to those we
know not of.” If it was any other ill
we would try to bear it in silence,
but shall we stand back and Ire only.
“ a looker on in Vienna,” w hile a set

The first i.A a lovely maiden,
Who lb in v.l,.pted belle,
Because -lie's nut “to tire nmuti born,”

Flic's as sweet and fair as lire ily,
With an lie of modest grree,
None Inrt a .paid with tire pnrjst heart
Could own each a winning face.
Next comes a stately beauty,
Who is gentle sweet and fair,
With a lovely eye of classic gray,
And a wc d.il of auburn hair.
‘IV.’ anar from home sire lingers
Id other and distant climes,
H'rc’ll come when we lay on thoynlc-1 g,
When we ring the yu'c-tldechimes.
Now comes the loveliest maiden
Who e’er was sung in a sonnet,
fhatexcels the world of fashion

Her eyes arc the lovi liest color,
And l.er hair doth with them agree
K.you want any more information
Just cal! on Mrs. Doctor I’ .
*lllO next 'is a young co-hor tess
Of a house of splendid cheer;
'Tls always ready for trav’lers
Anil not by any merfw, dear.
She’s a bright and merry beajty,
With eyes of sparkling blue,
Which are but the lovely windows
Of u soul that’s bravo and true.
Rare goods are placed in parcels
Of the smallest possible si*e
Cleartv proven by a maiden
With lovely dark-brown eves.
She must be akin to the fairies—
Must live on fairy cheer—
Her voice is like the mock -birds,
Musical, bweet and clear.
Now comes the queenly sisters—
Stop—take them one by one—
Well, here’s to tho elder lady
Fair ns any under the suu
And, though at borne in tho parlor,
Here's a secret, hoys, that’s true,
She's not out of place in the stove-room,
Aud such is thegirl for you.
Now whitt shall I say of the younger,
With her elegant queenly style I
lteware. young man ! for she is possessed
Of many a witching wile.
Though, sVc.uld you win this maiden
With her saucy, beaming eyes,
You will have gained in the lottery

The Newnan Herald goes for Gov*
Smith, and the respite of Briukley
has brought Ktche’s bristles out.
Here is the way he puts it: “It 6eems
to be a difficult matter to settle the
status of Governor Smith, in connec
tion with the next gubernatorial can
vas. First, it is announced with
seeming authorltiveness that under
no circumstances will be be a candi
date for re-election. And agaiu we
are told with equal semblance of
truth, tliat be has no such promises
or pledges, but is still open to con
viction. It matters very little to us
however, which of these reports be
true, for in thiscjuntry be is political
ly, ‘as dead as a door-nail,’ and as
iuanima’.e ass well dried herring.”
The Toceoa Herald follows in the
wakes “ The democratic parly will
have to undergo a complete -change
iu its policy en the ‘ third term ’ ques
tion before it could entertain the idea
of making Governor Sm ; th his own
successor.”
Christmas.
We are about to celebrate another
ahniversary of the birth of our blessed
Redeemer, and perhaps a few reflec
tions and a brief retrospect may not
be uninteresting to some of oar
realers.
When God was pronouncing the
dreadful sentence of condemnation
upon our first parents, H was inlimip
ted that He had iu view a purpose of
mercy. It was the first iutiffiatioh
of a Saviour, which tvas given to the
world after it was ruined by sin; and
throughout all succeeding ages of the
church and the world, in the won
derful system of sacrificial and cere
monial observances, in all the types
of the Jewish law, in the whole cur
rent of prophecy, and in all the chan
ges and revolutions of ancient king
doms and nations, the Hebrews were
so clearly instructed in the character
and offices of the promised Messiah,
that thfcir unbelief and rejection of
him when he actually appeared, seem
unaccountable on any other hypoth
esis, than that they were judicially
blinded.
•According to the prophecy, the
Redeemer of thb world appeared.
He was born in the year of the crea
tion 4,000, at Bethlehem iu Judea.
