It consists, moreover, not of speech only, but of action, of thank offering as well as thanksgiving. So this present great annual national clay of thanksgiving ought to bring forth abunclant treasure from those on whom God has bestowed his blessing. '■ -«*>» - • Rev. G. B.

Dropping in on out old friend. J. J. Grnitberry, the carpet dealer of Ameri cus. late Monday afternoon, for an a 1 vetsernent, we found the old g-nfleman eating liis dinner in the store. He had lately recieved a large invoice of as hnridsome -carpets and ru?s as ever grac ed a pai lor floor and as he had not raised the price, on account of the tariff bill, there lias been such a rush for them that lie can not leave the store to eat dinner. aru on this, as many ether occasions he did not have time to eat it when sent to him, until four o’clock P. Jt. For beau ty and variety his stock of carpets and, rugs can not be excelled in the South. He has also recently recieved a hand some stock of Canton mattings. It will not cost you a cent to go and look at his goods. . -r* -*> ® - MU It 11A Yfl X ROADS. Mr. Editor: I have keen thinking over a question, that does or ought to, inter ost. every man woman and child in lids neighborhood and that is. what ere we to do about (sending our children to school?

I have been m iking some enquiry and I can’t find a single school being taught m thC section any where and no arrangements made f«*r any to he taught the coming year, as yet. ii so I hav’nt b:eu : 'bh‘ to find it. I can hear or some few who have made nrr.ngements to send I’n-ir chimren off to school, and they are men who are able to be of great help in building up a good school at home. but they dont see any probability of there being any school in reach of them. What, is the matter? I can assure you it is n t the scarcity of children— I speak of the Buck Creek neighborhood, there is not a neighborhood in Georgia that can Compete with us- ar* we living back and looking for that little so called pub lie school, if so we will never find it or I will speak for my self. I never have found but precious little of it yet. i have paid the cash for every day that 5 have sent this year. I think about one hundred anti sixty days. About all of the farmers over here have caught up with their cotron at lust, and the cotton I beii* ve has about caught up with the price at last, so you can see iha* makes the cotton and tin price both run out even All of tit have mala corn, no.end to R ■ Ii is a common tiling to see cribs filled up to the boards and liicn see rail p ats twenty feet high, full and heaped U P* Hul u!1 of l ’" iU ,( ‘ s '* o! u l> «o Mr. Z.

The grand achievements of tlie democratic party, the bright prospects before us as a nation the general pros perity of our grand old state and the in dividual success of her citizens, has awakened a zeal and an enthusiasm, not before known among American citizens Abundant harvests have rewarded tfceef-| forts of the agriculturist while he has re ceived more remunerative prices lor his produce, trade is satisfied With a less p* r cent and is prosperous and contented. Manufacturies are springing up, while the vast resources of the state are being developed and railroad have penetrated ! nearly every county. A new education-! al wave is spreading over the state and enlightenment promises soon to reach the darkest corner. In spite of the as sertions of extremists to the contrary every careful observing Georgian must note the grand aclrevenv nts of the pre sent. and the bright prospects before us for the future, if we are conservalive. But this condition, nor will the grand est and best lesultsever he brought about by the uivis on of a p, ople nr the array of class against elass. History has de monstrated the fact, that such conditions have r suited in the down fall of the one. ami the weakening of the other while the plunder and spoils of office went to the ambitious aud unprincip ed few. Tyrants ha e oppressed the weak be cause it was in their power to do so: ; while conspiring men have bartered away the rights and principles held dear by confiding followers, for their own preferment and reward. • By what light then shall we be guid ed if not by the light of experience:” There lias long been two political par ties in this republic each advocating different p lieies and measures. One is contending for the building up of the south, the general government and equal privoleges tolhe whole people: while the other advocates the depression of the south and negro supremacy.. Almost the entire white race at the south have been and are still enrol ed in the ranks of the former. The recent past has shown that the republicans have meant to car ry out their policy to the letter; then if over there was a need of a united demo e.raev, it is now. While I would rmt needlessly raise the alarm of democratic m gligetrt'e aud con tention ; I would ask have the forces | in every instance in the campaigns just past been properly coficcnuated or drawn at the right tim •? In thecopgivssi mai election ; just past, while it was known that the last congress j j made members as it liked, and that end nominee from Georgia sUkk. 1 a chance of I feat on this line, did democrats t ike tl,- interest, or as many vetes ;;s did in the nominations that just proceeded? Compare Schley county's vote in the nomination for s. nator tind repr.
