Mr. Rainey, of the Jonrnal, has made a failure with bis rabbit foot, and is now bolstering his disappointment with a corkscrew*. I think this little implement is doing him good. He had not been in possession of it more than twenty-four hours when he got off the following; “One cannot look nronnd now without feeling the vigor of nature, which ie doing its work in a hurry. Green grase is spreading its picnio earpet over all tbe bleak barrens, bops radiates in every sunbeam, tbe tinselled forest is moved gracefully by a balmy breeze and fragranco floats upon the wings of tbo carolling birds.” Nothing bat a cork screw could have inspired him with eueh thoughts.

Simmons heard some one ealling at bis gate, as though in distress or In a hnrrv. He hastened oat and found a young man and young lady sitting in a baggy. As tbe Judge approached, tbe young man shoved hie right hand down into bis pocket, cansing the Judge to halt and take a step or two backward, thinking a pistol might be shoved idto bis face tbe next moment. But instead of a weapon, the young man drew ont and presented a crumpled mar riage license and asked the Jndge to marry hem right then and there. They were cordially invited into the house, but tbe young man said. “No, we don't want to waste the time in taking ont and hitching up onr hone, but want to be married right here and right now.” So tbe Judge performed the marriage ceremony, a. they sat in tbe buggy, and sent them on their way rrjoleing. The partis* were Mr. J. B. McNeal and Min Lizzie Hay, both of this county. Well that’s what we’ve aU got to come to sooner or later, and I guess they thought “the sooner, the bolter.” As Bill Arp ssyr, “It’s all right, 1 rcokop,” May they live long and night nnd re-organized. The following officen were elected: A. J. Baldwin, President; J. D. Ltlng, Vioe President; A. J. Career, Foreman; Chao. Donbler. Asst. Foreman; J. M. Simmons, Seoretary; Fred. W. Clark, Treasurer. This is on excellent sot of offieors, and when we gel our new engine, whieh is expected to arrive in a few days, we ought to feel pretty eeenr* so far os the devour ing flames are concerned. Onr new band has reoeivetT its instra- meats, and the toot of the born is beard in the land. Mr- M. H. Baldwin 8r., who baa been seriously ill for some weeks, left to-day for Gainesville, Ga., when he hopes to recover his former health. He was so- companied by bis wife aod bis eon, Mr. A. J. Baldwin.

B. Harrison, of Andersonville, I was induced to subeorib* for the Attaat- ccs Bioosobb Jsn. 1st, 1885. I find to my great surprise, by reading the letters from Sonthweet Georgia, that they am • live, wide-awake, energetio and irrteUi- * gent people, judging from their oontriba- tions to tbe Recorder. I have worked hard all day and sat np until mldnightlo read the Americus Recorder and th* Atlanta Constitntion. Friends, this is no flattery, but the honest truth, as I have been led to see it lately. I called at tbe offieo of tbe Louisville A Nashville Railroad hore the other day to inquire about a tieket to America!, and the elerk very kindly gave me a railroad map of the South. I was astonished at the perfect system of railroads connect ing every little town in th* State. I had supposed that Ohio, Indiana and Illinois had all tbe Railroads in the Uni ted States. We ought to be a little better acquainted by the exohange of newspa pers and letters. I have been greatly de lighted this spring by reading in the Recorder of yonr gardening, oorn plant ing, visiting and social gatherings. My wife during the war was a littl* Missouri rebel. I thought it would be a good idea to mix a little rebel spunk with the Fed eral blue, and I find that it works to n charm, for a truer wife no man ever found. 1 was born in the green beeoh wood* of Deeatnr county, Indiana, nearly 60 yean ago, and the first words that my good old father and mother taught me to say was: “1 sm a Jackvon mtn an to tha hub.” Here is good wishes to every contribu tor snd reader of the AmtRtcus Rn- coKDEn.
