Olympia, Smith Countv, Va. 1 ■T July 1st, 1884. , KuliftB Rbcokukk:—At the earn est. request of one of your staff, I will tms YnoriiuTg oivo you a few “dots” from the “Riuh Valley,” hoping they muy inlcreit •: your numerous. readers.

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 .

The beney is the same as you have. Raspberries grow wild on every bill and moun tain side. Cherries I sec by tbe bushel. Strawberries we have often, and bow delicious they are with tbe genuine ice cold unadulterated cream. Currants in profusion on every place. Chickens, turkeys, '*&&**.&*&**'£%&* 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. I have almost forgotten to men tion Marion, a beautiful little city in the bills. Though an old place, every building has the ap|>earance of being newly painted.

I1AIV80M DOTH. 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.

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. A CARD.
