Among tlio prominent men of the State just now being named for the office of Congressman nt largo, we note the name of lion. H. H. Carl ton jof Athens. The lianncr-Watch- man of that city honors itself in bringing forward such a man. Men witii records like his arc hot count ed by the hundreds in any com montrcnlth, ami as to his qimlifl cations for this important and honorable trust, the people of Georgia might go further and do worse.

Pass ing on almost due west, it just missed Lowell in tilis state, and went a few miles above Cuthbcrt and Dawson and ilrown’s Station. Thence its course was more to the northeast until it readied Smith- villc. When directly below Smith- villc and within a quarter of a mile of that place, kind Providence seemed pityingly to have changed its couite, for, hud it been u half mile further north, there would have been nothing left of Smith- villc. It then took an abrupt turn and went south for about a mile, and then turned southeast, touch ing the llugciiiii plantation anil going on into Dooly county. The damage it did there cannot lie asc.-rtained, but. it seems to have lost Its strelight, to u great extent. Thousands of trees are laid low, and as many as a hundred houses Were blown down. Tlie loss of life was small, considering the amount of territory invaded. Tlie damage done was mostly to small planters and fanners, al- though several large ones have suffered. In some cases, and par ticularly ncar*8milhville, the far mers hail everything taken from them, and are left to tlie mercies of their neighbors, who ure kindly helping them its much as they aie able. On tlie morning of the same day another cyclone appeared in Wilk inson and Washington counties, doing great damage. We ai-o indebted to Gen. Phil. Cook for a report of the consuls of the United Status. In it is the report or our former townsman, lion. M. H. Wbartor, now consul to Sonncbiirg. It is told of a Albany young man that after drinking from the ar tesian well lie went into the Barnes House and took a sup of that water and remarked: “I tell you, gentlemen, tills water can't bo compared to artesian water.” Mr. liarnes bad just tilled his cooler from tlie artesian.

Somebody stoic into the Gaines ville Eagle office not long ago and •‘pied’,’ a form. Wc can truly sympathize with our unfortunate brother in liis nllliction, and hope that when lie catches tlie mail who donu it he will pass him til-omul among tlie newspapers—for iiis|>ee- tion. We’ve Just got our shoes half soled, and are thinking that we obilUl do some effective work. Collector Robertson, of New York, “acknowledges the com." He admits that liu was once an at torney for Shlpherd in Ids Peru vian scheme, and took a fee. He says he simply acted as counsel for the time being, and when that specific work was done, his con tract with Stiiphenl ceased. This frankness is much more to Mr. Robertson's credit than much of tlie dodging and explaining away that appears to lie necessary on tlie pari of some of our prominent jioliticans. or, lias this to say of man: But all things being equal, I claim that our section of the Stotp! r; . , —_ is entitled to tbc honor, 5 an£- , Tt« ! j *- - NAs - of tbc opinion, we will find in the [ Hon.

Judge Hin ton’s name has been suggested as a suitable candidate, and the sug gestion meets my hearty approval, und I should feci delighted to know that lie had been nominated by tlie Democratic convention, and I believe the Democratic party of Macon county would cheerfully accept, and roost cordially support | him. . fjuBsrniHKK. in -DEALERS IN- Groceries sGtjano, . r, - >m LAMAR STREET, AMERICU8, GA. El.I.AVII.I.E ITEMS. Ki.i.avim.k, .March 29, 1882. Court convened here Monday, Judge Simmons of the the Macon circuit, presiding. The Judge is prompt in his decisions und makes business move along rapidly. lie is making a favorable impression upon tlie bur and the people. The bar of Amcriciis is well represent ed, there being here now nearly every member. The attendance at court Ims been large, chiefly be cause the recent rains have pre vented tlie farmers from working. Kllavillc is as pretty n little town us tliero is in tlie Stutc, and Ims a good country surrounding it, while the farmers generally seem to lie pretty well to do. Between Amei-icus and Kllavillc there is almost a continuous line of oats, wheat and corn Helds. Oats and cum arc doing well, but the wheat is badly rusted in many Del.Is, and some of tlie farmers are talking of plowing it up. Because whisky is not allowed to lie sold within its limits, Schley is call a “dry" county, but Mon day and Tuesday were us wet here as any one could desire. The cyclone in Lee, Monday night, brings up in the minds of the people of Kllavillc recollections of tlie cyclone which visited this place in 1876, which blew down a number of houses and almost de stroyed tlie fine park in tlie centre of Hie town. Immediately after llmt storm umny of tlie people dug pits near their houses, as places of refuge during storms, ami to-day they are talking of putting them again in order. A MISTAKE, a Both the Griffin and Milledgc- ville papers mention rather curious i deceptions to be practiced on gran gers or good farmers. At Grlfiin a brag patch supposed to lie wheat, is heading out as rye; and at Mill- edgevillea fine field of wheat which was planted for oats turns out to be rye. Tho owners arc said to lie indignant, and tlie Milledgeville man speaks of slicing the puatv timt sold him the seed. But isn’t it curious that they couldn’t tell the difference between wheat, oats and rye before they planted tlie seed?—Home Courier. Onr esteemed contemporary is mi-taken in locating one of these cases near Griffin. Spalding far mers are too sharp a set to be fool ed in such a way. It was one of those Doolyite. down near Anieri- cus, who lmd been raising all cot ton so long that he couldn’t tell tlie difference between a radish seed and a grain of corn. The un sophisticated inhabitants of that region are easily taken in.—Orif- Jin Allies. It may lie a fact to be 1 sadly la mented that tlie farmers of this section do raise more cotton than corn, but none of them have yet been cauglit buying rndisli seeds for spring or winter wheat.
