Americas, April 20. —The cam¬ paign for the nomination to con¬ gress in this district has been form¬ ally opened by the selection of delegates in Coffee county, who were instructed for Crisp by a vote of more than four to one. McAr¬ thur, of Montgomery, who is con¬ testing the nomination with Judge Crisp, was on the ground when the delegates were selected, and hoped to carry the county. The result does not show that McArthur has been selected as the repre*entive of the wiregrass section. Lumpkin Independant advocates Crisp for Congress. From the above we are inclined to the opinion that Judge Crisp has reduced the Republican’s figures for Congress. Sorry Bro. Hancock has retired as editor of the Republican. Trip lo Americas. We went to Arnericus last week and had a most delightful time, did not get there in time to hear Judge Fort’s charge to the grand jury but learned it was as usua', highly commended by all Our business was not in the court house and conse¬ quently spent the most of our time extending acquaintance with the merchants, whom we find to be very sociable. The more we extend our acquaintance the better we iike. They are preparing to erect an ice factory, at an early day. They love to talk about their grand fire tournament which comes off the 13th of May. They are preparing to make the occasion one of the most interesting ever exhibited in Georgia. Several companies from a distance intend contending for the prizes, several brass bands are ex¬ pected, which wilt lend largely to the interest of the occassion. Re¬ duced rates on the railroad have been granted and everything for a grand good time is nicely arranged. We were the guest Col. Walter Sim¬ mons and his excellent mother. They will please accept our thanks for the kindness shown us. Capt. Branuon had us to take tea with him one eveuing and it is not out of place to say that he and family know how to make everything pleasant to all who visit at their house. Arnericus is one of the best cities socially we ever saw and is not laekingin other requisites. We met Editor Latimer of the Lumpkin Independent for the first time. We called on both papers. They treated us very kindly,accept our thanks brethern. Arnericus likes to talk about her put, the A. P. & L. R. R. They are at work by this time extending it to some point beyond Lumpkin. In speaking of the Allen House we must say that it is first class. Letter A, No. 1 and when you go to Ameri- cus be sure to call on the genial proprietor Prof. W. H. Allen, you •will find ever ready to give you a hearty welcome, and will never beg or bore his friends by draining but when he asks you to go to his house you may know that he means what he says. And you will be satisfied With the result. ( supper at Andersonville. Last Friday evening we joined the excursion from here to Ander¬ sonville to get something to eat. EJlaville we are glad to say was well represented and if all our crowd got along as well as we at the table they came very near getting the worth of their money. Our whole heart was set on the prize cake but we were fearful somb other but editor would get it as we had not been in that department long enough to produce impressions on the public that wc »,,e really popular. Thank, to Bro. (limner, Uoncoek and Chmtopher , for . . at . , home . remaining ? or going somewhere , else. The supper was excellent, in fact we can’t see how it could have been better. The good ladle, at Ander.onville de- serve credit for the creditable man- per in which everything worked off. Alter supper came the race for the- cake and no little interest was plainly manifested. The published understanding was the most popu- Jar editor at Arnericus, Ellaville Rucua Vista got the cake. The vot- i,.g s . lively and we didn't Know I how it would go. We were satisfied if it lmd been to the best editor or the finest looking we would give them a good race but for it to go to the most popular we could not help doubting our success, but the race was soon over and we got the cako as the most popular and add to that our tine appearance,certain- ! ly puts us where our neighbors have room to envy us. Miss Alice Nay lor got the prize for the best looking young lady. Dr. Joiner got the prize for the ugliest man. Thanks to every one who favored us with their vote and influence, some nils- chievou* wretches stole our cake, but we got it aguin and divided the best we eould. Hope that the fellows that stole our cake will get enough cake not to trouble ours next time. We met our old teacher B. A. Hudson and several new acquaintances, wish we could remember their names. There were quite a number of pretty young ladies whose acquaintance we made and some of them wanted to know if we were single and we had to say no; so that settled us with them, but it did not keep us from admiring them. The people of Andersonville were untiring in their efforts to make their visitors pleasant and if any did not enjoy themselves it must have been their own fault. Such occasions aro certainly hailed with pleasure to such as need a thorongh replenishing of the inner man, espicially hungry Ed’s. A Scene ol Childhood. For the Enterprise. “Here scattered wild the lily of the vale, Its baling essence breaths,here corn slips hang The dewy heads and purple violets hark, With all the lowly children of the shade." For once in years I have laid aside the cares and duties of life, for a few hours repose among these dear old hills I love so well. Her in childhood’s pleasures and girl¬ hoods idle dreams I have spent the most happy days ot my life. Here unmolested by mortals, and free from cares my dull imagination is quickened by the fragrant breezes, which inspire sweet memory to take up her pencil and draw on the canvass of the present, the many pleasant scenes of the past, which surround this dear old spot, filling my heart with gladness and caus¬ ing me to almost clap my lands for As the years have rolled by, stern and unrelenting naturehasstamped our lives with the indelible marks of years; yet she lives dealt gently with this lonely and sequested little vale, which has changed so little since the days of long ago. Out these gentle nature has stretched a carpet of tender grass upon which ft hungry looking cow is constantly browsing,asifshe fears there will not be enough, for her to finish her delicious repast. Here stand the tall willows, gently ina- tioning their wirey twigs, as in ap¬ proval of some silent proposition of nature. Little fish sport in play¬ ful gambols, upon the sunny surface of the sluggish stream. Occasion- ly a timid little bird perches him¬ self upon one of the low limbs ot an older bush which is laden with graceful tags, give a few faint twit¬ ters, then, as he had some great ndsion on his little mind to perform, flits away to the brush and brambles beyond. A shy little gray squirrel, that has been so busily prying at the fresh buds of a maple, is startled by a slight noise and hides away from view. The continual “caw! caw!” of a crow, in a clump of trees down the stream, seems to say; some sportsman has killed his mate, for whom he is vainly calling. From these sights and sounds, it would seem that nature is enacting a scene of my childhood, for pleas¬ ure and entertainment. A gay winged butterfly flits through the warm sunshine,nestles upon a flow¬ er, and begins to cull its sweet juices, when almost unconsciously I find myself stealing upon him with the cautious tread of a child. I am about to close my hands over him; but ah! he is gone and with him my dream of childhood. The quick flash of thought that causes me to realize that I am not a child, causes no regret, for here in this wild recluse of nature I am happy. My heart has beat and my soul has be ® n thrilled with emotions beautiful and silent influ¬ ence of nature alone can produce. ^ hesitate to leave a place that has given me so much pleasure, yet will go back stronger to meet the battles ot life.

OeorKia Htate Snuduy School Aam>- ciaitoD The Georgia Htate Sunday School Association will hold its Thirteenth Annual Session at Macon, Ga., Wed¬ nesday, Thursday and Friday, May 12th, 13th and 14th, 1886. The Constution of the Association , says: "The Association shall be com- j M>set j 0 f j <i<.| P jrate from every 800 | member! , 0 f Sunday Schools p 0 S i„jj the County Association, and j„ ,» 0U ntjes where no Association ex¬ j igts 2 delegates for every representa- live, to which, the county is entitled in the General Assembly of the State.

The Officers ol the Association in- eluding all the District Superintend ents and Secretaries, as farasprac- ticable will be expected to attend as members of the convention. We take this occasion to cordially invite the Sunday School workers of the State of Georgia to interest themselves in the Georgia State Sunday School Association, in the organization of County and District Associations: for purpose of bring¬ ing together as often as practicable, the several denominations that we may from each other, obtain new ideas and methods for conducting successfully this great department of work in our respective We know that each church takes care of its own affairs, and we have no intention to interfere in the least with the schools of any denomina¬ tion. Our object is “is to promote the prosperity and efficiency of the Sunday Schools, of Georgia” by frequent visitation, and interchange of thought, and expression of ex¬ periences in the w r ork, by offering to each other pure sympathy and en¬ couragement in our labors, by pub¬ licly meeting with each other upon a common platform, w hose founda¬ tion and entire structure is Chris¬ tian pleasure, and we are confident that those who have usually attend¬ ed the County, State and interna¬ tional Sunday School Conventions, have generally returned to their schools, greatly profited and more eager for this important work in their own churches. The programme, which is being prepared under the direction of Mr. John K. West, Chairman of the State Executive Committee, at Macon, Ga., will embrace representative men from the various denomina¬ tions of Christians from all engaged in the Sunday School work. Ar¬ rangements will be made with the various railroads to transport dele¬ gates to and from Macon at reduced rates. Preparations are in active pro¬ gress at Macon, to entertain the del¬ egates: and it is important that a list of the delegates from your coun¬ ty should be mailed at once to Mr. E. D. Huguenin, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Macon Ga.—and also to J. C. Courtney,Sec¬ retary, Atlanta Ga. Please attend to this without delay, and see that your county is represented. Our friends of the Press, throughout Ga., gia have invariably aided in giving notice of these annual meetings of the Association, and we hope you will get your local newspapers to repeat the favor. Please communicate at once with your District Superintendent and Secretary. R. B. RFPPARD, Pres. J. C. Courtney, Secretary. A Grand Time in Savaiiuab. The Chatham Artillery Centenni¬ al Drill, to come off in Savannah on May the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, promises to he one of the grandest military gatherings ever assembled in the United States. Savannah will, at that season, look her liveliest, and the occasion will be one of ntereat to every person in the State. There will be nothing left undone for the pleasure and comfort of visitors, and everything possible will be done to enable everybody to at¬ tend. We had a call Tuesday morn¬ ing from Mr. D. Phelps, theeflicient and oblinging agent of the Central railroad at this place, from whom we learned that the fare from this place will be one cent per mile for the round trip,making whole tickets cost, from Cuthbert, $6.20. They will be placed on sale here on the 28 th of April, and will be sold until May the 8th, good to return until May 10th. At Stations, where there is no agent, the conductors will be authorized to issue tickets, good for the round trip, at the above rates. The programme for the different days is a very attractive one, and will be intensely interesting. On Monday there will be an Infantry Prize Maiden Drill for $500, to be followed from time to time with contests for prizes of $1,000, $1,500 and $2,500, the unveiling of the Nathaniel Green Monument grand cavalry tournament, etc. Every one should attend at the extremely low price of $6.20 for the round trip from Cuthbert.—Cuthbert Enterprise.

Twelve millions of insurance; Five thousand members; Eight years’ experience; Guaranteed and incontestable policies; Cash assets tality funds handled exclusively by Trust __ .

The business of the Fidelty is twice as much as it was in 1884, and the death rate is not any larger now, in proportion to the amount at risk,than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor Hartrant, of Pennsy vania, is organ¬ izing a Mutual Company in Phila- delaphia, and is consulting L. G Fouse, President of the Fidelty, as to the host practicable methods, in order to conform to the advanced ideas of assessment insurance, as expounded by him to the National Convention. Nota bene: If the recent expulsion of the At¬ lanta Horne Fire Insurance Com¬ pany by the foreign companies from the Association of Fire Under-writ- ers, rerults in a cutting of rates and saving to Atlanta of $125,000. I can demonstrate that I can save even more per annum to the overburden¬ ed policy holders in the Fidelity, and give them better security. Send your age and address for estimate to P. W.
