sion under which your contemporary
seems to labor. In the exuberance of his
imagination he seems to fancy he is the
oldest printer in the irorld, not alone in
Georgia. Ho indulges in an extended
▼erninlscence of his career, and mentions
the names of some old craftsmon in
Columbia with which the writer was
familiar. There is where the illusion
seems to strike him favorably. The delus
ion that he is tho oldest printer in Geor
gia I shall presently dispel. He would
hardly believe that there is one printer in
Savannah over 70 yenrs of age, who has
been at the business over sixty years, and
two who have been nt it over fifty yoars,
yet such is tho case. In order that he
may know who they are, I will make
brief mention of each of them.
The first in order is Josiah Hodges—
who is considerably over 70 yenrs, and
has been at the trade for over sixty years.

for a while; hut as farming did not come
as nutural to him as setting type, he
returned to his first love and moved back
to Savannah, where ha is now living in
remarkable vigor, and can beat a great
many much younger men picking up
type, his speed being about 6,090 ems
per day, besides distributing his cases.
Can our friend Ilaucook beat that.
The second in ngo und experience is L.
P. Ashby, who celebrated his fiftieth
anniversary at the business on the 17th
of last March, and is now setting type at
the office of the Morning Next*. He is
one of our young old men, and is about
as well known as almost any muu in
Savannah, being a prominent political
speaker as well as writer. He is also a
strong advocate of the cause of temper*
auce. In his long career ho lias filled
every position in a printing oifice from
sweeper up and water toator to editor-i
chief. He well remembers when there
were no rollers, the forms being inked by
balls, and two darkies in his town who
used to piny tunes on tho forms with the
balls. He also remembers when the
Smith or the Washington presses were
first introduced, and when the roller was
first made what a great invention it wns
thought to be; but when Yankee ingenuity
had coupled roller machinery with the
Smith or Washington presses tho acme of
perfection, the world's wonder, was
thought to bo renohod. Tho power press
then stepped in to astonish the people, and
now has gone from six or seven hundred
to twenty thousand impressions an hour.
Mr. Ashby has a brother living in tho 73d
year of his ngc, who had served his ap
prenticeship when he went to the business.
He is still hale and hearty, can step off
his twenty-seven miles a day, and there
is hardly a town in the Houth and West,
from Virginia to Texas that he hns not
visited and worked in, and is well re
membered by the ernit in nil tho Southern
Stntes.
The third is George N. Nichols, who
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his
introduction into n printing oifice ou tho
4th of June last. Mr. Nichols has taken
great good care of himself and has met
with more success than the generality of
printers do and is comfortably off in this
world’s goods. Ho owns the oldest job
office in the Htnte and is a good man to
work for. He is extensively known in
this city and his friends are legion. He
has filled the position of alderman of tho
city for several terms, and is a member
of the present excellent board. He was
also elected ns the workman's candidate
for the legislature, in which he served
one term. He bus a Inrge family of chil
dren, but had the good judgement to
learn none of them his trade.
one of these ‘'fair young ladies” let fall
once from her lips expressions of kind*
ness for und appreciation of the Amkiu-
coi Rkcokdkk. Here is tt)e extract:
| "On the west side of Stonewall street and
at the corner of its intersection with
Third Avenue is one of the “happy
homes” of our city. In that home three
fair young Indies brighten the hours in
joys which beautify many of our pleasant
homes. Tho surroundings of that home
are most pleasant to see and are in keep
ing with the sweet domestic life which
One’can over find within tho sacred pre
cincts of that home."
The recent shock of the earthquake in
some of the Northern Stntes is the topic
of conversation upon our streets, but
annular shocks have been felt in the
Southern States. One of them especially
is remembered by an aged lady of this
city, as having taken place aboill the
year 1835 in South Carolina.
It was uutboratively told here to-day
that a gentleman of Eufuula, Mr. A. A.
Walker, had received a letter from the
“boBs" of Tammany in which it was said
ing had the first bale of new cotton upon
the market. This cotton was raised by
Mr. Turner aud sold by him through
Hood & Paschal, warehousemen, to Mr. J.
R. Mercer, of this city, for 16 cents per
pound. It is middling cotton and well
mntured—not green, as was reported of a
bale said to be the first on the market.
Alderman Willie Janes is still quite sick
but it is hoped that in the kindly nursing
that he is receiving he will soon redover
his usual strength.
Tho death of Mrs. Julia L. Ragan-
mother of the blind young man whose
recent death we notioed, at Bronwocd on
Inst Sunday, has casta cloud of grief over
many of us here. Mrs. Ragan's loss will
especially be most sorely felt inherowu
household, where now two of her daughters
are aick almost unto death. In this terri
ble bereavement tho heartfelt sympathies
of us all go out to the beroaved ones.

A most enjoyable event took place nt
Brouwood on the 25th of last month
when Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dozier cele
brated (he sixth anniversary of their
marriage. It was an event in society
circles at Bronwood that will not soon be
forgotten.
Circulars have been received here by
members of the Radical party, looking to
the orga nization of that party in this
county, and the outcome of it so far is
the nomination of the ginger-cake col

We may be so sure of our atrength us to

bis creditable deportment and devotion
to his employer's interests. That once
little boy to-day is J. E. Brown, who has

Several months ago a number of gentle
men olubbed togather and bought in Vir

He wns a beautiful animal and up to a
week ago was in fine condition, fall of

as he walked. On Friday lost .without
apparent cause he began to droop, refused
to eat and finally died on Thursday
morning. The loss of such an animal is
to be regretted but it seems that he could
