Tlie Country Editor.,
Verily the life of a country editor
is a path of thorns.
His bread is promises and his meat
is disappointment.
His creditors chase him by day and
the devil grinneth at him in his
dreams by night.
IIo sendeth the paper to a subscriber
on credit and the subscriber payeth
him not.
Then he stoppeth the delinquent’s
paper, and the delinquent singeth
trala! and borrovreth it of a neighbor.
One subscriber payeth his sub
scription in wood, and behold it is
rotten and soggy and of short measure.
lie whoopeth up tho township
politician and tho politician gets elect
ed and knoweth him no more.
lie puffeth the ehnr.ch fair gratis
and then attendeth it and payeth his
quarter and reeeiveth two oysters.
He boometli his town and all things
therein, and yet reeeiveth no support
and is a man without honor in his
own country.
Two young peoplo marry, and lie
givetli them a great puff, and they
go to housekeeping and taketh not
his paper.
Yea, lie is bound down with woo
and his days are full of grief and
trouble and vexation of spirit.
But sorrow endureth only for a
night and joy eonieth in the morning.
lie ploddeth along and endureth
in patince, and it is written that he
will receive his reward at the judg
ment.—Ex.

HIDE NOTES.
Irwin’s tax levy for bridges last
year was over $8,000, or onc-lialf ibo
total levy for county tax. It is said
that good roads are an unfailing indox
to a county’s advancement, and
these figures speak for Irwin in let
ters of gold.
Ool. A. G. DeLoach, formerly of
the Irwin Co., News,but now living at
Snapping-8boals, Ga., was in attend
ance at court, meeting hundreds of
friends who regret Ins leaving.
Messrs. Ross ifc Tinsley, of tlio
News, Jno. Stone, of Savannah,
Jackson, of the Arabi Stur, and a
representative of the Dispatch and
News, together with the Gazottu
man, were there, looking after tho
interest of their journals.
A young man by the name of Grif
fin had his hands badly cut by the
saw at a mill near Irwinville Monday
morning, and came to Dr. Luke for
attention.
“Black Nas,” (so called) is still
keeping tho neatest set of books of
any county in the state.
Polities were simmering at a lively
rate, and the crop of candidates, al
ready an average one, is augmented
by daily accessions.
“My friends,” said the conlomned
man as lie stepped forward for a few
lust words before tho noose was ad
