will tms YnoriiuTg oivo you a few
“dots” from the “Riuh Valley,”
hoping they muy inlcreit •: your

the portico of Mr. W. M. Davis
resilience, happy. How I wish yon
were here to enjoy, with me th*
magnifiuent panorama spread out
on all sides. Beautiful green vullies,
luxuriant Helds of clover,Hilling the
air with Iragrauce from the purple
blossoms—acres and acres ol gol
den wheal, undulating like the
waves of ocean, with each passing
breeze, ready for harvesting, while
here and there may he seen oats,
plauled in the spring, und as green
as the grass ol the Kmcrald Isle,
giving variety to what is already
loo beautiful (or language to des
cribe. From your very feet almost,
rises peak after peak,covered with
verdue to the summit, spurs of the
Blue Kltlge Mountains, which can
he seen far away in the distance,
dark blue, against the sky lor u
hack-ground, and clothed with mis
ty clouds which disappear as the
sun rises in the heavens. Every
house is located near n spring,
from which a bold, sparkling stream
goes laughing and gurgling over
its rocky bed, forming here nnd
there, in its course, cascades, which
are miniature Niagara’s—you see
n« sand, nor .day, only occasional
ly in the rocky roads. The whole
lace of the earth is one enrpet of
“living green.” l'he people live
like kings, buy nolhiug but their
sugar and coffee,
ir I wish I could describe to you
Ally, the fertility of this valley
which produces from 80 to 125
bushels of corn to the acre, wheat
und oata in proportion. You must
see for yourself, to realize it. The
luxuriance of the clover, timothy
and blue grass. You can have no
conception, unless you are here, of
the beauty, of the splendid breeds
of cattle and horses. Every farmer
raises bis own horses,’ and sells':
them from the time they reach'two
years ol age. I have seen some
that uppear to me, could not he
surpassed in beauty by the far
famed Arabian steeds, and ready
sale can always he found. The
milch cows they have arc far be-
yond anything I have ever seen
in our country. They prefer the
Durham stock. The butter is as
yellow as gold and firm as ice cold
water can make it. Tlif milk . Is

spontaneously,” so numerous are
they. The water is as cold as iee,
clear as crystal, and good to the
famous Buchanan's cave, and had
tbe pleasuro of going five hundred
feet under the ground. I have not
time to descrilH! the wonders nnd
beauties to he seen therein. Suffice
it to say, there are many. During
the war the Confederate Govern
ment had men employed to make
saltpetre here, and great (|iiantities
were obtained. Everything petrl-
fes, the planks, troughs etc., left
there, are all turning to stone, even
the snails. Its outlet has not been
found, hut a creek, whoso waters
are cold as ice, and clear, has been
crossed thirty-two times by per
sons, exploring the cave, hut it is
impossible to follow its windings
ou account ol a precipice, and hence
its terminus is unknown. The
people are plain,extremely sociable,
whole-souled and generous. 1 have
seen none poor. All seemed lo he
prosperous nnd happy.
The climate for six months in the
year Is delightful, but the winters
are cold, bleak, and any one whose
lungs are In the least aflccted can
not live long here. We were at the
burial of the fourth member of one
family who had died of consump
tion in six months.
While down the valley we were
royally entertained at the magnifi
cent residence ol Mr. I.ysunder
Campbell, who was a pupil of Mr.
McNulty’s years ago, and whose
good lady is certainly one of tl.e
“Balt of the earth." There we met
a large crowd of bright, rosy cheek
ed girls, and entertaining young
gentlemen who vied with each oth
er ill their endeavors to make the
“Georgia ladies” have a pleasant
time. They succeeded admirably.
Al Mr. Joe Sanders, also, we were
splendidly entertaiued. Messrs. I.e-
grand Sextons, E. Reeves, II. Har
mons, and Dr. Talleyrand Davis
likewise, all of whom we shall ever
bold in kindly remembrance. But
the bed ol all best men is W. M.
Davis, at wl.ose house we bad the
pleasure of stopping during our
stay in the valley. For whole-
souled hospitality, Indefatigable ef
forts to make those around him
happy, forgetfulness of self and
constant thoughtfulness of others’
pleasure, I do not think his equal
can ho found on earth, and bis
genial wife aids him in all his ef
forts. If you arc wearied in body,
harassed mentally, weak physically,
visit happy, cheerful, genorous
Mart Davis, and in u short time
you will feel like a new being. His
home is the traveler's rest and you
are always welcome. He is known
and loved from one end of the val
ley to the other. May lie never
know want nor sorrow.
We have gained in fiesh to such
an extent that we have found it
neecssury to remodel our ward-
robes and as a matter of economy
We cannot prolong our slay to a
great length of time.

Dawson, July 10.—The agrl
cultural club of tho 12lh district,
in this county, had quite an inter-
esling meeting n few day ago. J
W. Sears is president, aud through
his earnest efforts this organization
has been made a success. A din
ner was given that was ample in
quality and quantity—“a real agri
cultural feast.” Specimens of the
various orops were on exhibition,
and the discussion relative to the
most successful modes of farming
elicited much thought. This club
meets once a month, and at tbe
next the question will come up:
“Whether or not It pays to raise
wheal in this Boctlon.” In this dis
trict the Recorder has quite a cir
culation, and wo aro more than over
glad to notice alt efforts that tend
in the direction ’of making farm
ing a success.
The town to day is in a “political
hubbub.” The polls are open, and
so are the bar-rooius. There is
much personal feeling, but it is the
wish of every conservative citizen
that law and order may lie main
tained, This question came up to
day: “Is it legal or not for bar
rooms to remain open at what is
called a primary election?” It 1b
well to put “fire-water” under lock
and key at all elections.
We are all glad at the nomination
cf Cleveland und Hendricks, and
tlie return ol one of the delegates
from tho Chicago convention, So
licitor General Guerrv of this
city, was bailed with pleasure,
as he was one of the factors in
bringing about so desirable result.
That masterpiece of English com
position, tho speech of Hon. A. O.
Bacon in his presentation before
the convention of tbe name ot Gen.
J. C. Black of Illinois for tho Vice-
Presidency is tho pleasing theme
of every one here.
A tew days ago in conversation
witli Ordinary H. S. Bell of this
place, who fought and was wounded
In the battle of Manassas, the con
versation naturally turned upon
“headquarters in the saddle" Pope
and Gen. Fitzjohn Porter, both of
whom became at variance ou the
results connected with that battle.
We agreed that the sin (?) of Fitz
john Porter was in being a Demo
crat, and that the veto of President
Arthur of tho kill restoring this
gallant General to his proper place
in tlie army was the outcome ol
venomous repnbllcau bate, and that
a late editorial iu the Macon Tele
graph and Messenger in defence
of Porter had the ring ol true
metal in it—a production that did
credit to Ilia heart and mind of
Editor Lamar. We write thus lie-
cause there exists here much sym
pathy lor that gallant Federal sol
dier and true democrat, Fitzjobn
Porter. A little digression here.
Your correspondent in 1862 was in
the army at Corinth, Mississippi,
and at Farmington ucar that place,
we had a brush with Pope’s forces,
who was in our front, and we “wal
loped” him well, though his official
report stated a great victory for
himself. Afterwards Pope’s name
in our army was the synonym for
“bags lying.”
Ask Tucker Stallings of Jrour
city, who it was that be went to
the Methodist church with here on
last Sunday night? We say thia
much, that be was fortunate in ac
companying one of onr sweetest
young ladies to that place:' Daw
son has quite an attraotlon to many
of the young men of your oily, who
trequently brighten up society here
by theii vlilts. We look? for a
wedding or two in tbe near future
—we know muob in that connec
tion, but will say little.
The friends here Of Mr. T. E.
Davenport extend to him their con
gratulations on bis recent gradua
tion at Emory College. Our old
and valued friend, tiol. Walter T.
Davenport, may well be prond of
this son of his, for be is a young
gentleman of sterling qualities.
Will you, Mr. Editor, permit me
to exercise a personal feeling in
suggesting the name of Dr. Hinkle,
of your city, ns a Presidential elec
tor in tbe coming Presidential
campaign. Dr. Hinkle In tbe past
has done valiant service for tbe
Democracy, and aa a political
speaker he has but few equals. As
Presidential elector be will be
the right man In tbe right place.
Mrs. M. A. McNulty has return
ed from her visit to Virginia,' and
speaks of having bad a most en
joyable time. Both herself and
those of her family wbo accompa
nied her received much benefit
from their trip.
Mr. F. A. Quillian, of Harmony
Grove, Ga., a recent graduato of
Emory College, will take charge
of Owen Nelson Institnte in this
olty. Mr. Quillian comes well re
commended as having qualifica
tion essential to his success as a
teacher.
The slate holds another name,
that of J. W. Rears, who will pnt
lortb bis best effo'ls to be the next
Sheriff of Terrell county. Soars
is a good fellow, an aotlve worker,
and a man up to tbe demands of
tbe hour.
Married, in this county, o*. tbs
3d Inst., by J. W. Sears, J. P., Mr.
W. F. Avery to Mrs. Arabella
Cochran. Also, on June 21st, by
the same person, Mr. J. W. Klrven
to Miss J. B. Howell. Wo extend
tbe kindest wishes to each one re
cently united In tbe marriage re
lation
U. S. Leo, of this city, is in tbe
northwest, and during bis trip be
took in Chicago, and was present
during tbe proceedings of the late
Democratic convention. Tbe com
pany that be represents, H. S. Lee
ii Co., have received orders for oar
loads of lumber from Ohio. This
speaks well for our sootlon. Our
pine groves can be mad* sources ol
untold wealth to us. .
Friday was a “red letter” day In
tbo history of Dawson. Tbe barbe-
one was a “big” thing. About 2,-
500 people wen here. All tbe coun
ties round about this wan ngtf- „
sented. The table was 160 yards in
length and over |00 loqyes ol bread
were used with T6oareaeeee. In one
bar-room COO drinks were sold, but
no disorder whatever occpred.
During tbe day a railroad meeting
was held, at which speeches were
made by Messrs. B. H. Hood and
Geo. W. Cbeeves, and active meas
ures were taken lo forward railroad
work.
Tbe contest between tbe bow
ball clubs ol Eufknla, and Albany,
was abruptly brought to a close by
a misunderstanding between some
of tbo players and tbe heavy rain
that fell. . W. K. P.
