EDITORIAL NOTES.
Judge J. M. Matthews, of Talbot
ton, will be a candidate before the
Legislature for Judge of the Chatta¬
hoochee circuit to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Judge
Willis. He is a gentleman who has
served his county acceptably in many
waysand whose Christian characterand
solid worth would elevate him in the
esteem of the people ot the whole
circuit should he be elected.
The people of Talbotton are very
jubilant over the prospects of the
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad.
The secretary has opened an office
in Talbotton and Judge W.J.Weekes,
Vice-President of the road has gone
to New York in its interest. The
territory through which it runs is un¬
equaled in natural advantages and
the interest Judge Weekes takes in
the matter presages success. There
is no one whom we esteem higher for
business sagacity or whose standing
is higher in the commercial world.

The war is over. Harmony reigns
supreme again in the Keystone state
of the south. The Macon Telegraph
speaking of Gen. Gordon’s visit to
Macon says: “governor Gordon,
who represents the highest type of
the citizen soldier, who has signally bloody
illustrated upon a score of
battlefields the courage and chivalry
of this people and who bears upon
his body honorable evidence of faith¬
ful and heroic service in a great but
unsuccessful struggle, although in
feeble health, honors the occasion
with a full staff and his approving
presence.”
The next number of the American
Magazine will contain article upon a
language the grammar of which can
be learned in an hour. Our flexible
English, which has no grammar to
speak of, promises to become the
language of the world, but to write it
with any degree of accuracy is be¬
yond the ability of nine-tenths of En¬
glish speaking people who use the
pen and to speak it with even ap¬
proximate correctness and fluency is
beyond question. The demand of
the age is a language by means of
which thoughts may be expressed and
with ease, vigor and correctness
its grammar ought to be so simple
that it may be learned in an hour.

EASTWARD.
If one was seeking the roughest,
most changeable, rockiest, and the
most picturesque road it would be
found on the northern side and adja¬
cent to Pine mountain in the eastern
portion of Harris and Meriwether
counties in the direction of Warm
Springs. Rocks without number,
almost as numerous as the sands on
the seashore, is encountered every¬
where and a landscape of rare beauty
is piesented. Every now and then
you find a cozy cottage and a lovely
home ensconced in the midst of these
huge hills or small mountains and
although exceedingly broken there is
some fertile soil and productive land
in this uneveu way and a thrifty pop¬
ulation inhabits this section.
PH J i5SflCSHED SEMI - WEEKLY.
JOSEPH L.DENNIS,
PROPRIETOR.
This Pine mountain, extending
from the Flint to the Chattahoochee
rivers, is a curious freak of nature—
when you think of it—thrown in as a
great water-shed to a very valuable
country. In former years it served
as a great barrier to identity of inter¬
est and social intercourse between the
sections separated by it. But in course
of time the iron horse ploughed his
way across it and brought m close
communion in social and business
ties the inhabitants thereof. The
crossing of the C. & R. railroad and
the Georgia Midland tunnel are last
ing evidences of engineering skill and
ability and shows what modern pro
gress can accomplish. Then the
Pine mountain must contain some
valuable minerals. The different spe
cimens of rock and stone show the
presence of some mineral not found
in the country north or south of it.
Some man will do a wise thing
in procuring a competent
and make search for the hidden
treasures indicated by topography
and discolored waters. Who knows
but that a Birmingham or Aniston
may spring up somewhere adjacent
to this remarkable mountain ? More
improbable things than this hare hap
pened, so take hint and do the work,
The country edjacent to the Warm
Springs and thence to Stinson and
the White Sulphur Springs is rich and
fertile and variegated by hill and dale
and is occupied by intelligent and
thrifty farmers. Rains have been
light and is now much needed, bat
no anxiety need be felt, for, to the
diligent, seed-time and harvest will
always come and the early and the
latter rain will give seed to the sower
and bread to the eater.

Mrs. S. M. Reid received a severe
bum on Thursday last. As she
stepped out of the door with a vessel

and the contents were emptied on
hei face and right arm, scalding her
severely.
We were shown, a few days since
by Mr. J. L. Davis, the feathers of
two wild turkeys which he killed one
day last week. Mr. Davis is a good
marksman, and we do hope the next
time fortune favors him so highly we
will have the pleasure of seeing more
of the birds than the feathers.

LOCAL POINTS.
The protracted services which be-

the Methodist church are still in pro
S r ^ s - J ke pastor is laboring with
Zealand energy born of the love
f° r ln ® Master and the sal
nation . of immortal . souls. It should
be the earnest prayer of every Chris
heart that his efforts may be
"owned with success. A shower of
divine grace upon the church in
Hamilton would be as helpful to itt
spiritual growth as the late ram fall
upon the thirsty earth is helpful to
growing crops.
The musical entertainment at Mr.
B. C. Kimbrough’s residence last Fri¬
day evening passed off in a most sat¬
isfactory manner. Mrs. Kimbrough’s
pupils gave evidence of careful train¬
ing and acquitted themselves in a
way that reflected credit upon them¬
selves and their teacher. A very
good number were present at the ex¬
ercises.
Mr. J. T. Burton, of Whitesville
district, dropped in our rains office yester¬ in his

ed with piles for years and vainly
sought relief in many lands, was told
by a friend that Tabler’s certain Buckeye for
Pile Ointment was a cure

for whoever usss Tabler’s Buckeye
Pile Ointment will surely find speedy
and permanent relief.
