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. 'This old vet. was Sheri ft’ of Bibb county lor two terms.

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. W. K. P. STEWART*COUNTY ITEMS. that he (Kelly) would support Cleveland and Hendricks, and that tha Tammany organization would do all that it could for the success of the Democratic nominees. Nuff ced ! Copt. Win. Kaigler, of Company E, 13th Georgia Begimeut, is out in a card an nouncing u reunion of the surviving members of that regiment to take place at Griffia ou the 19th of this month. The Captain’s headquarters arc here, and he wishes to rally ns many of the boys as he can. 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 ored negro Fitzgerald for the Legislature. We may be so sure of our atrength us to sloep on our arms, but we should not forget thnt “eternal vigilance is tho price of liberty." These black Republicans will boar watching all tho time. Terrell county once had her surfeit of negro rep resentation. Wo have been requested to keep before the surviving members of the Old Fifth Georgia, through the Amkkicus Recob- DEB, the fact that n reunion of the living members of that regime:.! * ’’ tako place in Maoon on the 21st an., j^nd ot this month. The clank of tho machinery of our ar tesian well is nguin incessantly heard, and wo nre becoming impatient to see the fruit of so much work, for it hns. been about two years sinoe the boring of an artesian well hero was commenced. We like to see jourunlism illustrated, and when such is the case we are more than ever pleased to uotiae it.' Home yeaVs ago the lMwson Journal had iu its oifice u little boy who won all to him by bis creditable deportment and devotion to his employer's interests. That once little boy to-day is J. E. Brown, who has made u name for himself as editor and proprietor of the Henry County Weekly, und it it is thought will represent his dis trict in the Henate of his StAte. Editor . Brown’s father and sisters are here, who, heaviest rai “ ot the season on Saturday with tho root of n» are gla.l to xee in thia <“*“• ">“■* rain now for ootton. «m ami brother .l.votioi. to duty re-1 “«»•» il to grow too faat and not frnit warded much, it also makes it shed off some Lumpkin Independent.

He wns a beautiful animal and up to a week ago was in fine condition, fall of life and his bright velvety skin glistened 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 not slAnd the climate through the sum mer. On account of Its being such a hard matter to acclimatize tbe Jerseys we fear no one will be indttoed to repeat tbe experiment of improving the breed of oat- tloin this section. On Tuesday night Mr. II. G. Fengiu came to town and informed Deputy Sheriff Holder that a negro who was wan ted in Randolph oounty, to answer the cbnrgo of nssanlt with intent to murder, whs spending tbe night on his plantation. Mr. Holder went for tbe moke and brought him to town. His name is Zedriok Robinson and Is tbe same negro who served sixty days imprisonment here last year for refusing to work the roads on the ground that he belonged to a Cuthbert fire company. The Tax Reoeiver,, J. T. Harrison, esq., has completed his tax digests loathe year 1884. The whole amount of property re turned in the county la (1,684.632,00; an incresse over Inst year of (23,000. It is reported thnt tho cotton caterpil lars have made their appenranoe on the river plantations. Tbe crops of field peas and sweet pota toes are reported to be doing finely in this county. * The friends of Hon. C, C. Humber will press his claim before tbe Senatorial Con vention ns a suitable person to represent tbe 12tb Senatorial District, eomposed of tbe conn ties of Stewart, Quitman and Webster, in tbe next General Assembly. According to the system of rotation the choice of tbo next Senator is acceded to Stewart county. No trouble is being experienced in sc oaring the right of way for the A* P. «k L. Railroad, as the people all along the line are anxious to see it completed. The permanent location will probably be com pleted by tbe 20tb, when tbe Company will be ready to receive bids for grading etc. _ JOLLY JOHMFREEVILLE.
