Spalding county, are requested to meet at the City Hall, in Griffin, at ton o’clock, a. M., on Tuesday, Novembei 22d, for the purpose of nominating candidates for member of Legislature Sheriff, Clerk Superior Court, Tax Collector, Tax Receiver and Coroner. By order of the Executive Commit tee! Jno. D. Stjewari. Pay Your Debts. Tho above isoue of tbe best maxim* that can be engraven upon the bnmai heart Not to pay debts, is a specie.* of dishonesty, which, howover, it mat be tolerated by reason of tho laxity ot public morals, is still dishonesty. A man who would scorn and resent tin idea of being a rogue, will frequently keep back the money he owes hi* neighbor, and speculate on it after In has promised to pay. By this mean, ho not only defrauds his neighbor, bn violates his promise, and thereby for feits his honor. If a man lies abou anything else, except paying money, In is considered a bad in in, not to bo be lioved or relied upon; but a cash In don’t connft in. these degenerate times in many circles. We can, however inform those slip-shod tin inciers, that there is a large number of tho best and purest people in tho world, who look upon a promise to piy money as quite as sacred as any other promise, an*l they look upon a in an who fails to meet such promises, with as little toleratioi ns thoy do upon any other species o fraud. We repeat, therefore, to every oue whom misfortune has not deprived of the power to do so, pay your debts. CHAPTER SECOND. But whatever you do, pay your smal debts. Pay the machauic, the laborei and the tradesman, who has given you credit It is these little credits that test tho honesty of m any men. A man owing several small bills, says to him self: “My creditors won't sue mo foi this small amount Ho knows I am good; I’ll tako tho aggregate amoun of these few little debts I owo, and buy a certain lot of hand I have been want ing for some time. I can "get it pari on a credit aud the money I had in tended to have paid A. B. & C’s. smal account, will make the cashpayment on the land. Messrs. A. B. &C. won’t miss the small amount I owe them, and I can make a pretty speck on this aggregate.” Meanwhile, Mr. A. is n merchant who s jld our financier goods last summer on a sacre.l promise to pay out of tho first proceeds of tin* present crop. Hu has his own liabili ties to meet promptly,®or lose his standing in market, and by that mean, stop business. Mr. B. is a shoe-maker; he has bought his leather partly on time, relying on numerous sm ill cus tomers to come up promptly with the cash. Unfortunately numbers of them treat him as our financier does. His note goes by the board. He can get no more loather, and must go and work as a journaman, for some shoe maker who had too much sense to give credit Perhaps Mr. C, is printer! has worked hard and faithful, night and day, and sold newspaper.- and job work upon a credit If he hu though, he ought to broak—and yet printers will sometimes do this foolish thing, aud their foolishness is no ex cuse for the careless or dishonest cus tomer. Wo know that many people stick to tbe cash rule, iu all cases, and yet il seems almost impossible to avoid giv ing and taking credit at times. If ill men woro honest, this would he very convenient and benefit 1 al, but alas ! alas! we soar thst roguery is becoming popular, and houesty at a discount. CHAmu Timm. But if you find yourself in n in on i lion to be unable to pay all your debts, Moording to pMinise, then noiiMolidatp t ie small di bla Into one, nnd owe 'ha' It §MM that it able to wait un you; take the money aud go and pay the little bilk, e*eo if you have to pay big l^d"u U * bettar 40 and* 10 up ashamed ol yourself. Or if your have got beyond this point—but if you have, God help you, for a newspaper sermon will do you no good. Lst TJs Bar# Peaca. We notice with much regret a dis position to run for office in this county and city, which is highly discreditable to the patriotism end good sense of the parties who are nnduly pressing their individual claims for offioe. We can elect good and true men to fill ev ery office in this county and city, if our citizens will be united and will consent to yield personal preferences for the general good. It would be a lasting disgrace if one single Radical should be olected to any office, either county or municipal; and yet the way things seem to be going, it is possible that luch thing.; may be. To-day we have our nominations for county offices, and we do beg of our citizens—especially the business men in town—to turn out to-day and help nominate a good ticket, especially for tho Legislature. If we do not har monize on a good conservative Derao ■rat Dan Johnson will beat us, and ■Spalding county will bo disgraced.— Let us at least show as much good tease as tho colored people did in their □oeting a few days since. They acted .vitli unanimity, and crushed out all •pposition in their own ranks. If we •an’t do it, ice deserve to be beat. I: is the duty of our citizens to take iol(l of this matter without gloves, and f any man seeking office makes too mjeh blow about it, to discard him en 'irely. W T o don’t want a man for any )ffico who is unduly impressed with his own importance; there are snch ■non nmong us. The office should seek ’he man, and not the man the office.— Let. us select our man for ropresonta ive and elect him. For c iunty offices ‘hero is not very great contention, and hero will probably be littlo difficulty ibout them; out the same rule should iruvail, we should seek them, and not hey us. In our city election, there also ap >cars to be considerable discord. This, vo believe, can all bo settled by a citi zens' meeting, which should be held hia week, and which should be fully attended by our citizens. Such a meet ing was held last fall and resulted uost gloriously in the triumph of the utizons’ ticket. Wo believe in an ox nession of public preferences by and hrough citizens’ meetings, and all as lirants should yield to the popular rill. Those who do not should be ■pitted for future punishment. Unless we settlo our city election ii itters very speedily, tho result will >e shame and confusion of face for all ;ood citizens. Divine Worship and Cuiqnons. —One if the main reasons why wo don’t at tend divine worship oftonor is, the torrid chignons the ladies wear now i-days. ;They are about tho size of a nlf-grown Newfoundland pup, coiled ip and enclosed in a netyand fastonod to the back sido of tho head by divers nysteiions fixtures. How they stick s a wonder, for wo would as soon un lertako to carry a bale of cotton on >ur head. These devilish machina tions disfigure a pretty woman, and mke a plain one look awful. Thoy have no place to wear a decent hat or lonnet,which makes it necessary for the ladies to woar a sort of rat's nest in lieu thereof. Thoy are not made of 'minim hair, horso hair, or even cow’s iair; and the manufacturer only knows vhat thoy are made of. They deceive lobody, and they disgust everybody iut tho wearer. Asa means of grace, hey aro damning, both to tho wearer ind spectator; to tho former, because t takes all her time to keop her head balanced so that she won’t break her ueck; to tho lattor, because all devo ional thought is banished by disgust for tho abominable chignon, or sym pathy for the woaror. Now that Paris is besieged, why can’t American ladies iholish this hidooii3 fashion, and let bald-headed women enjoy a monopoly thereof? The Scripture says: “The 'lory of a w imaii is her hair,” but it lidu’t mean these hideous chignons.— Let them be abolished. The War.—Wo have not space to publish tho tangled war telegrams of Yesterday. They amount to nothing conclusive. Since tho Orleans battle nothing in the way of flgliting has bora done except an engagement at Dreiix, where the French woro repuls ’d. nothing decisive. Prospects of an amicable arrange ment between the Powers of Europe are brighter, Russia seems adverse to war. A Congress of all the great pow ors to decide tho Eastern question is now being spoken of favorably.— Prussia is willing to go into this ar rangement provided her relations with France are not interfered with. En gland again proposes an armistice be tween Prussia and France. On tho whole we think the signs for |K>aee nre more favorable, but there is no telling yet what tho political gam blers of Europe will do. Turn.—What ever may snid against the Democratic party; one thing is certain, she can always find self-deny ing patriots enough who will forego personal considerations, sacrifice pri vate interest*, ami consent to fill all tin* good official in the county. This L-h<c iM u!v iho case in Uriffln Mil Moulding County just now, any hotly who says it isn't--Well lie telle a con founded "whig Us" Candidates Plenty.—A late oopy of tne Mobile JKegister contains xouneen card announcements of candidates for Mayor of that city. Among the names is that of Admiral Raphael bemmea. — It is presumable that these are all | Democrats. As we take no Radical paper from that city we have not the means of knowing how many of that stripe are in the field, but it is presum able at least as many as as the Radical party is in the majority in Mobile. We mention this fact for tbe information of those sections of “our beloved country" .which Lave no body to run for offioe, so that they may send to Mobile and Spalding County, the city of Griffin wont have to send off. Congressional.—Col. Lawton, Dem ocratic candidate for Congress, will be in town to-morrow, and desires to meet as many friends as possible. He will make no speech. CoL Thos. Harde man has promised to visit us soon, and may be prevailed upon to make a speech. Tom is a whale. Latest Telegrams. London, November 17.—Rumors come from Berlin, that Great Britain has received her demand for the ar mistice. Indefinite rumors of French successes before Paris, nre circulating. The French cruisers have captured many German vessels in the Baltic and North Seas. The French are elated over rumors that the entire Prussian question is believed to exist between Gortschakoff and Bismarck. That Gortscbaoff did not consult Bis marck’s wishes as to the time of promul gating this declaration, and that Bis marck desired it postponed. London, November 18. —A well in formed correspondent, writing from Vienna, says: While Russia might have obtained revision of treaty, by usual means, tbe course Russia has seen fit to take creates a grave situation, shaking all the settled statues of European policy, and com pelling common cause of action to re dress her demands. The Prussians hold all the strong holds along the Jura Mountains. Tho seigo of Sangeryand Montmedy is imminent. A sortie from Mezieres is reported. Vienna, November 18.—The report of Buests resignation is untrue. Advices from Orleans to Monday evening. The Prussians have retired to tho Northward beyond Arthenay. The French lmd constructed heavy earthworks in front of the railway junc tion, justoutside of Orleans. Ten thous and men were employed upon the works The French army under General Pu ladine was massed between Orleans and Arthenay. Tho cavalry of the French was being wretchedly managed which seriously interferred with their success. A large number of boats col lected at Orleans to cross the army to the southern bank of the Seine in case of defent in the impending battle. Madrid, November 18.—A commit tee of fifteen members of the Cortes has been appointed to proceed to Flor ence to present the Spanish crown to Aosta. His election is highly popular throughout the Provinces. Florence, November 18.—Aosta has arrived from Naples. He was met with enthusiastic acclamations by the people. New York, November 18.—Wall street still pivots upon the European situation. Early news Reemed warlike and gold advanced. Later advices were more pacific but again more warlike and gold closed at tho highest point of tho day. Bremen, November 18.—Earl Russell has written a pamphlet on the situation He proposes a joint armed resistance of the powers if Prussia demands more than Alsace and Lorraine, and urges England to form a strong reserve based on tho militia, and to place a strong garrison at (Quebec under an able com mander. Diplomats all claim to have known that the demands of Russia would be made sooner or later. Such public opinion as there is in Russia is said to be in favor of peace. It is stated when the Russian Minis ter at Vienna, communicated to Prince Gortschakoff a note to Baron Van Booust, he accompanied it with the assurances of mo.-»t peaceful intentions on the part of his goverment. The Gambler's Pate. Among tho innumerable anecdotes related of the ruin of persons, at play thero is one worth relating, which re fers to a Mr. Porter, an English gen tleman, who in tho reign of Queen An ne, possessed one of the best estates iu Northumberland, tho whole of which he lost at hazard in twelve nights. According to the story of this mad man—for we call him nothing olse when ho lind just completed the loss of his last acre at a gambling house in London, and was proceeding down stairs to throw liimßelf into his car riage to bo carried to his house in town, 110 resolved to have one throw more to try to revive liislosse, nnd im mediately returned to to the room where the play was going on. Nerved for the worst that might hap pen, lie insisted tbat the person whom he had been playing with, should give him one chance of recovery, or fight with him. HiR proposition was this: That his carrigae and horses, the trinkets and loose money in his pock ets. his town house, plate and furni ture—in short, all he had left in the worhl except the clothes on liis back, should be valued in a lump nt a cer tain price, and be thrown for nt a sin gle dnsh. No persuasions could pre vail on him to depart from his purpose. He throw and lost; then conducting tho winner to the door, he told his conclimna that there was liis master, nnd marched forth into the dark and dismal streets, without a house or home, or any other creditable means of support. Thus boggard, ho retired to an ob > cure lodging iu a cheap part of tbe • own subsisting partly on charity, s> >im*- imos acting ns a marker nt n billiard able, nnd occasionally a. a helper nt a livery stable. In this iriisersble con dition, nnd with nnk<*dness nnd famine staring h in in the fare, expound to the taunts aid iiißn''a of thoHo whom he once su tported, h® was recognised by an old friend, who gave him ten guin eas to purchase necessaries. He ex pended five in purchasing decent ap parel. With the renuting five be re paired t> a common earning hone, and iner *aa <1 them to flftv. He than adjourn jd to os® of tho higher onh r of bouses, sat down with former m*o oiatea, and won twenty thousand Returning the next night, be lost it all, was onoe more penniless, and after •aba is ting many yean in abject penu ry, died a ragged beggsr at a penny lodging house in St Giles. Here’s a Good One.—A handsome bach, clerk in one of our most popular dry goods stores is smitten with a fair resident of a neighboring oity. The father of the young lady came to Atlan ta recently and registered at the hotel where our bachelor friend boards. Aa soon as this discovery was made, the old gentleman was looked up and made the recipient of earnest attention, (snch as all of os have and are disposed to pay tho parents of the “hopes for,”) to ingratiate hituself into his parental fa vor. Just before going up to dinner the old gentleman wanted - information of the young one, where he could get a drink of good “peach and honey.” “Well, I don’t know myself, but I’ve heard that at bar-rooms good liquors are kept,” was the innocent reply. The old gentleman asked the young one to show him the way. “Certainly. Though I wont drink myself,” replied the “teetotaller.” Arrived at the bar the wants of the old gentleman was made known. When the bar-tender turning to the young man coolly remrked, “I suppose you will take gin and sugar as nsual Mr.—.” He “had orter” winked sooner.— Atlanta Constitution. JKST’The difference between war and pence has been well defined by one of the ancients : “In time of peace the sons bury their fathers; in time of war the fathers bury their sons.” A subscriber of the Sumter Re publican hns paid the cash for that pa per one hundred and fifty years to come. He is an honest man nnd not crazy—at least so savs its editor. “What! tipsy again ?” said a wife to her husband. “No, my dear,” said he, “not tipsy, but a little slippery. The fact is, somebody has been rubbing my boots till they are as smooth as glas.s” MARRIED, wn the evening of tho 17 th Inst, at the residence of Mrs. L. D. Zimmerman. near Montgomery.
