THE TOWN OP ROfER.
Haw ft A*t Us 5aae and What
Has Besides.
Royer. Ga., May 1.—I do not sup
pose there are many people who
know where the beautifal little town
of Rover is. it being built op and
given its name only about two years
ago. In the first place-we will try
to give tbe readers of oar paper its
location, thereby helping them very
much in finding as oat. especially if
they have got any bills against os.
The name of Rover was taken from
tbe name of our president, bat as
there was some postoffice already
with the name of Grover we decided
to take c ft a., first letter and have
it os net r tbe ; one as possible, so
we b&pt / d i Rover. It is situated
about fivt miles west of Griffin, on
tbe old plank road, tbe G. M. rail
road passing right through it aDd
which is designated by the company
as a flag stat ; on, although the maii
stops every day. The people, geo
erally speaking, are poor, the most
of them being renters, but to find a
better class .so far e.j generosity and
law abiding < , are concerned
you will have to go to another coon
try. The lands are very productive
and generally tbe farmers make plen
ty to do all round. We have two
stores, owned by Messrs. William
son and Wcatherby, who do a splen
did business for the times, mostly
cash; one i • ’ smith shop, run by
one of tbe ! ■ ‘smiths in tbe covn
try, and a m ge public ginnery,
which does a vast amount of work in
its season; and a Baptist chnrcb,
where they engage in Sunday schotl
every Sunday evening aDd preach
ing tbe third Sunday. We have a
population of about seventy whites
and fifty blacks, all being id peace
and harmony and willing to help one
another and respect all whom they
may come in contact with, which by
so doing makes it a place which is
pleasant to live in as well as pleas
ant to visit.
We are needing rain very much;
we cannot plow our corn as it ought
to be and the cotton is coming up
very slowly, 60 of course cannot com
mence work on that till it does come.
But we are living in hopes and by
bopiDg we expect to have a good
rain now in a few days. If we don’t
we will get so lazy and fat that we
won’t be able to fight the nasty green
sins’ after awhile, having caught up
and now waiting on the cotton to
come np.
Zol Isou says he has enough year
before last corn left to finish a three
horse crop with this year, having
mide a crop off of it last year and
enough to make this crop with. We
need more young men like him, who
make plenty at home and ain’t afraid
to get between the handles himself:
but he needs tome one to help him
take care of things.
In talking about politics the other
day, on tbe third party question, one
of these here get-about'lively fel¬
lows had the assurance to say that
the Democracy of Spalding County
had bolted clean out of sight. I
don't quite understand ; what he
means, bat if he means that tbe true
Democrats of the county have for
aaken tbe fiajr for this said to be new
party, he ia by himself and had bet
ter stick to us before his man gets
back, because it wont do to plav off
; ^bile tbe boss i» away and when he
gets back say he is for him and
j always has beeu. No siree. Bob!

and stick to his party and be what
he is and Dothing else; because if he
don't he will get left, and no vedemp
tion for him. No, sir; we are full-
blooded Democrats and expect to
stick to the poor man’s friend and
not jump the rope because a Sam
Small party comes oat on tho plat
form and says ‘ let's have a prohibi
tion party.” Preacuera are hefe for
that business, and I think they
ought to stick to their party and
keep it up, aud the Democrats and
Rad's \vi!i try to keep theirs up.
