We regret very much that a re¬ port is circulating on us that is cal¬ culated to seriously injure us. The report, as we get it,is as follows:that we would not publish an election notice on the fence and stock law unless the county paid for it in ad- vance. W e say it is unfouuded and untrue. We hope 4 any of our friends will always come to.^us, when such reports get out, and tell us about it. We will always thank them for it. 15. V. A E. U. K. Hurt.

Key, of Columbus, preached si very interesting sermon in this place last Friday night. The character of Peter was nicely drawn. There is no doubt that are many Christians after the style of Peter at the present day. Horry tin* Dr. was not greeted by a larger congregation ;lte is certainly worthy of it. We hope he was invited by our Methodist friends to renew his visit again soon. We must apolo¬ gize for forgetting to mention his appointmen in last weeks paper.

Mu Editor:—I closed my last communication on the beautiful lo* cation of our county site, upon "Ideli we built a commodious and "'ell construct court house. The Baptist built a very good house of worship and the Methodist lias one of the finest houses 1 have seen outside of a city. We hud a few dry goods stores two or three family groceries and one that dealt in whisky to the great annoyance of our village. From this till 18(H) we received our mail once a week and week, and were as happy people in the enjoyment of our honestly earned negro property as could be found anywhere. The constitution of Georgia and constitution of the United States guaranteed to us our property, but the work of aboli¬ tion was completed Tin* north was deligent in its efforts (o aecom- plish tlieir purpose and from year to year persevered until they elec¬ ted a Republican President Araham Lincoln. Schley county called a primary meeting ot her citizens to elect delegates to a state conven¬ tion. At this time but few advocat- ed secession, they contended that if southern states seceded we would have no war and save our property. The other party was called the Union party. South Caro- Una was the first to secede. The Union partv thought best to wait for an overt acton the part of the north, these \Tews were freely discussed. We met at the court house, and nominated and elected* by ac¬ clamation Maj. W. A. Black and Ii. L. French- the former the owner of 60 slaves valued at*$30,000. Both were men of high moral standing whose, intelligence and integrity were beyond question. They were elected by the Union party. When the convention met a large majority were in favor of secession. All delegates signed the ordinance with the exception of those from Montgomery county. The war [came as we all know. The first volunteercompany elected Robert Burton as their captain the next largest slave holder to Major IJiack. This company was apart of the 5th Georgia Regiment. H. L. French was captain of the next company and Mr. Carr, with whom I was not acquaint¬ ed, was captain of the 3rd. Schley county furnished her share of as no pi e an( , ., s true soldiers as any col mty in the state, among them was Col. Thomas A. Black, sol of Maj. W. A. Black, who fell at the battle of Murfresboro, Tenn., the last day of I862,whilejgallantly lead- ing his regiment the noble old, 5th Ga. lie was highly esteemed by all and his regiment after the war show- ed the appreciation of him by erect- in £» monument to his memory cost¬ ing $1600. He received a decent burial in the Ellaville cemetery. The fail Words oT si Druiiksiril. The following extracts were taken from one of the lectures of J. J. Tal¬ bot who recently died from the ef¬ fects of a drunken debaunch at Elk- hart, Ind. “But'now. the struggle is over, I can survey the field and measures the losses. I had position high and holy. The demon tore from around me the robes of my sacred office sent me out, churchless and Godless, a very hissing and by word among men. Afterward I had bus- incss large and'lucrative, and my voice was heard in large courts, pleading for justice, o.ercy and right. But the dust gathered on my hooks, and no footfalls crossed of the drunkard’s 1 lliU * n,un @y ample for all necesi- tiei! ’ but ittook win ^> and went to feed the coffers of the devils Which possessed me. I had a home,adorn¬ ed with all that wealth and the most exqnisite taste could buy. The devil crossed the threshold, and the light faded from its chambers; the fire went out on the holiest of alters, and leading me from the portals, despair walked forth with me, and sorrow and anguish lingered within. I had children—beautiful to me at least as a dream of the morning—and they had so entwined themselves around tlieir father’s heart that no matter where it might wander, ever it came back to them on the wings of a father’s undying love. The destroyer took his hand in his and led them away. I had a wife whose charms of mind and person were such that to see her was to remember, and to know her was to love her. Thirteen years we walked the rugged path of life to¬ gether, rejoicing in its sunshine and sorrowing in its shade. The infern¬ al monster would not even spare me this. “I had a mother who for long years had not left her chair, a victim of suffering and disease, her choicest delight was reflecting that the les¬ sons taught at her knee had taken root in the , heart , t of ^ her youngest born, and that he was useful to his fellows, and an honor to her who bore him.
