erminus at Columbus, Ga., “the Lowell of
the South. ’’ The Central ot Georgia runs
through the western portion of. the county,
thus giving it three first class line*, ot rail

Farm lands -an be bought from $.7. to
$1 a. ior acre; on which can be grown re-
I muncra five crops of Cotton Corn. Wheat,
! Oats. Rye, Harley, Rice. Mill, t. Sugar-cane.
| Sorghum, Sweet and Irish Potatoes, Ground
j and Field Fens, and the finest Watermelons
j (both as to sue and flavor) in the
i world.
All kinds ol finite, do well here. Quite a
fruit industry has sprung up some fourteen
miles to the southwest ot McDonough, and
is conducted bv an intelligent set ot immi
grants from the north, who bought the lands
cheaply, and which have appreciated troni
$lO. t<> SIOO. per acre. Theie are thousands
of acres just as good in Hcniv county await

There are eight railroad towns in Henry

The climate is mild and equable, There
is not a day in the year that out of door
work cannot be done on account ol cold
weather. The atmosphere is puli- and en
tirely free from malaria. A ease ot yellow
fever was never contracted in lot) miles ot
this section. The county lies 1.100 teet
above sea level, and is gently undulating
in its topography. Wood and water of the

Our people arc kindly disposed towards
all well-meaning new comers. Politically,
our people believe in “a trie ballot and a*
fair count.” There is a standing reward ot
$.->OO. tor a single instance where a man
has yiot been allowed to voie his political
conviction —whether he be democratic or
republican. Our motto is, “Let bygones be
bygones; and let nil unite in the up building
of our goodly heritage. Me know no south
no north.’’ We de-ire to bend our united
energies to bringing our beaut!ti l lands to
that degree of perfection which brawn and
brain have done for less tavored sec
tions.
The manufacturing industries of this
section have received a wonderful impetus in
th. last few years. Griffin, a sprightly
tow n of lithll) iiihiihiiaiits only eighteen miles
south of us, hue built two splendid cotton
mills in tin- last tioee years —costing in the
agar, gate .fiOtUHH). mi which amount they
declared a diviTml ot JO per cent, last year.
To those who have money toinvcfl, we in
vite them to come to McDonough which is
one of tlic best building sites in the. south,
owing to its being in tin- mid.-1 ot the cotton
fields, and on an- ot railway where cheap
coal can be had. It has been demonstrated
that capitalists can not ilia - a mistake ill in
vesting in south !'■, Ri.r.uf-ictiiring enter-*

SONCS UNSUNG.
Sweet the song of the thrush at dawning.
When the grass lies wet with spangled
liew.
Sweet the sound of the brook's low whisper
Mid reed and rushesVandering through;
Clear and pure is (hr west wind's murmur
1 hat croons in the branches all day long;
Rut the song unsung is tiio sweetest music
And the dreams that die are the soul of
song.
The fiiirest hope is the one which fades,
The brightest leal is the leaf that fell;
The song that leaped from the lips of sirens
Dies away in an old sea shell.
Far to the bights of viewless fancy
The Minis swift Might like a swallow goes;
For the not as unheard is the bird's best
carol,
And the bed unblown is the reddest rose.
Deepest thoughts are the ones unspoken,
That only the Heart sense, listening hears
Most great joys bring a touch of silence.
Greatest grief is in unshed tears.
What we hear is the Meeting echo,
A song dies out, but a dream lives on;
the rose red tints of the rarest moruiilg
Arc lingering yet ill a distant dawn.
Somewhere, dim in the days to follow,
And far away in the life to be,
Fussing sweet, is a song of gladness.
The spirit chant of the soul set free.
Chords untouched are the ones we wait for,
That never rise from the harp misting.
We turn our steps to the years beyond us,
And lietcn still for the song unsung.

Several members of a large working
man’s club in Boston recently sent the
following letter to Mr. Andrew Carne
gie and other prominent iron masters.
So far no reply has been received:
Andrew Carnagie, Esq., and Other
Iron Musters (so-called): Sir—We
desire to put some questions to you on
behalf of the United (Question Clubs of
Massachusetts, and of other clubs ot
like kind now being oiganized in other
states.
We are all workingmen. AVe want
to know more about the tariff than we
no now ; and the way in which we pro
pose to learn is by putting questions.
We are not all ol in capable of putting
these questions in the right form, and
therefore our secietaiy docs that part
of the work for us. Iti this case the
question are workmen who have lost
their chance to work where they have
been fot a long time. We were em
ploye;’. in the iron amt steel works of
Boston. The work has stopped. We
have been discharged. Some of us
owned houses; we have got to sell them
for tl.e most they will bring. We on
ly know how to work on; tit at we are
accustomed to. AVe can’t stay here,
because the work has stoppi d. Now
we want fo know the reason. You
have made a great fortune. AVe don’t
grudge you your fortune, and we would
not question your right to it if you had
not made a great part of it by putting
taxes on iron and steel to protect your
•Work- at our expense. These taxes on
iron and steel have deprived our people,
who employed us, of the materials on
which we woiked. There is plentv of
ore, plenty of coal and plenty of iron
lying right off the mouth of our harbor,
which could i e floated here in barges,
or the iron could he made and brought
here at as little cost as the iron you get
m Pittsburg. Rut you and your asso
ciates tax ircyj because it is in another
country, and you undertake to tell us
that that tax is for our benefit. Prove
it. So fat as you have gained your for
tune by this tax- it does not belong to
yon. AVho does it belong to ? A’ou
propose to give it away. A'ott may
well take “all you have and give it to
tile poor” whom you deprive of their
means of living in order that you may
become rich.
Please to justify yourse'f and to tell
us how American labor is benefitted or
jprotcc ed by you and your friends who
own the iron mines, the rolling mills
and the bla-t furnaces, putting heavy
taxes on your neighbors under pretense
that you can benefit them. One an
swer will do for all of us. Send it to
the secretary of the I'nited Question
C übs, box 3292, Boston.
These are pl an questions which ev
ery senator, every member of congress,
and every iion master who in some
way or other induces senators and mem
jbeisof congress to legislate for them
in place ot legidating for the people
willjbe compelled to answer. Youts,
with respect for your own personal
character ouly.

Interest ill the. A\ col folk case lias not
lied out by any means Inquiries are
made every day, now that the lfith oi
August is fast appio u hitig, as to whetli
er or not the hanging will take place on
i hat day at Perry. The general pub
lic remembers the motion for the new
trial, but there are many who have
failed to take this into consideration,
and speak of tho hanging as being a
near event. The hearing of the mo
tion for a new trial ha# been set by
Judge Gustin for the 10« h day of Au
gust. The defense will amend their or
iginal motion for that day and will be
prepared to arguo it. In case it is re
fused, as in all probability it will be,
then the counsel will appeal to the su
preme court of Georgia-
As business is behind m this tribunal
it is probable that the <■ ne will not he
heard and a decision * retell red before
January next. Afti the supreme
court inis rendered its derision, then
tin re will he one of two things, either
the verdict from tan Houston court
will he set aside, or in case of its being
affirmed, then C 01. Rutherford will
make an appeal to the supreme ■ court
of the Uniten States on constitutional
grouud. This, the highest tribunal in
the land, is now behind in its work
nearly three years l T.less there was
some cause for prompt action the Wool
folk case would go at the heel of the
docket, and in the course ( f a year or
two would be heard. The counsel fur
the defense have announced their inten
tion to carry the case to the United
States supreme court, if Georgia, refus
es to set aside the recent verdict.
They feel that the step will be unnec
essary and that they will get a
favorable decision n< x<t January.
AT in- ICcmi iii-.c«-iico..
Mr. Lincoln had been elected presi
dent under the conflict ot abolition;
our people thought the union was dis
solved ; they began to hold conventions
of states and pass the ordinance of se
cession,and feel that our country would
he independent Ibis sentiment
grow until all men, women, hoys and
guls began to consider what part they
would have to per 1 --t in in the impend
ing conflict.
The reduction of Ft. Sumpter follow
ed and the muUerings of war was heard
throughout the country. It made no
difference what opinion a man had, or
hoiv widely lie differed from his fellows
with regard to wha. the war would he,
how long : t wouid la'st, or what the re
sult would he, it was the all absorbing
theme. \V ho wax going, or at what
age wore the hoys old enough ? School
hoys telling their, mates they would
have to leave school and go to the war;
young men and large hoys talking to
the girls in half jest, hut some serious
ness, about what they would do when
they returned from the war, and some
times would add, “if I return.” Par
ents and families consulting about
which of the family should go first; all
anxiously watching the- mail: to see
what was transpning each day; what
companies were being organized ; who
were receiving orders to he ready ; who
called into service etc.
Public meetings were held to enlist
volunteers and organize companies;
whore many, and we may say all kinds
of speeches, j were made by both men
and women, many, who had never spo
ken in public before, gave vent to their
feelings, now, in most positive and elo
quent strains. The ladies speeches
were generally prepared and were most
p*it'otic and enthusiastic; wliile the
speeches of some of our citizens ■ were
unique and impromptu.
Some felt like they Could whip fif
teen or twenty yanks. Many of them
would send their sons, and if they didn’t
lick em in a few days would come them
selves to do it. The older men said
let the young men go and ihev would
take care of their children. One pa
triotic citizen of an adjoining county to
ours in a strain of eloquence said he had
hut one sou large enough to go, ami he
was O oingto send him and he wished
he had a hundred more, he would send
them all. That sou went early but
never returned.
And then we had organizing and
drilling, and finally the much wished
for order to go to the front and I doubt
if there has ever been a more exciting
or interesting time than at the depart
ure of the first companies of the coun
try to the confederate war. Sonn’
were helping soldiers off to the war
and bidding good bye; some distrusted
about their return; some instructing the
soldiers to bring them something from
the war ; some frolicing ; some jesting ;
sober onos seriously considering the re
sults of the war ; crowds on street cor
ners, crossings, stations, and every
where cheering, waiving handkerchiefs
and making all sorts of demonstrations.
Ihe soldiers returned the compliment
with all sorts of hurrahs. We had one
patrio'ic, and some what representative
fellow, who would hollow out every
time fie could get an audience, “I’ll go
to the war! I’m agwine! Pap told me
to go and I’m agwine ! I aiut afraid to
go! Good hve! Pap told me to go, and
I’m agwine !

Now that Woolfolk lias again been
found guilty and tbe Conetnaugii flood
past in*o history, let us, these warm
days, sit down to a basket of peaches
and consider the matters—one of vital
importance; .
.Just a few weeks ago and the wiiter
ventured to raise bis voice against Dr.
Hoggs’ educational scheme, then not
fully disclosed. Since that time be,
Felton, et al, have formulated this
plan ; one grand, central, mother on
versity, ten branch colleges and sever
al other schools, <fcc. '1 his ii a grand
idea—on .paper; but before it is put in -
to operation, or before it has gone too
far in that direction the people should
consider well and speak out in unmis
takable language so that their represen
tatives may know how to act. *
\\ keu lio penned the foehle prole,t
the writer trembled ; for, so far as lie
knew, it was the first opposing voice
that hud been laised. Siuce then, how
ever, several ».pet« and numerous cor
respondents have come out “flat-foot
ed” in opposition. The most promi
nent and significant opposition is that
of Prof. Willett ill <ho last Christian
Index. Every tax paver should read
his article. No attempt will he made
to argue the (juestion, but, to put the
people to thinking, a few pointers are
hereby submitted, and the hope express
ed, that more competent debaters than
the writer, may take up and examine
the subject it needed, if there be any lim
it to it.
1. Do wo need so much college edu
cation ? l)o wo need so many colleg
eges to graduate the number who may
bo able to roach that point ?
2. To o|>erate such a system will re
quire a mint of money—no telling how
much. They say it will require hut lit

road, granting that the road will lease
for 3.1,00') dollars per month. Arc we
able to be taxed for such an experi
ment? Tin's. .Jefferson tried it years
ago and failed to materialize.
3. Isn’t it starting at the top of the
pole and starring the fodder down
wards ? I I.t Iwe not better perfect the
present school system ; had we not bet
ter appropriate all the money we o.uu
raise i* our cemmow schools so that the
masses can dotive the benefit rather
th hi provide for ths fortunate few who
may reach college '! Had we not bet
ter put money enough in Tom Scott’s
hands to enable him to establish one or
two good grammar schools iu each dis
trict—go into the markets witli money
in hand mid ernplsy the vorv best teach

-I. What will yo« do with Oxford.
Mercer and the other denominational
college*—they that have done most for
Georgia.
5. What will you do witli the ne
gro ?
Tlieie are other points that might
bo mentioned, hut these are enough to
make the people think. Tax payers,
wake up? Felton is anxious to re-es
tablish himself and to make fame.
Hoggs is a new man and ambitious to
make his impress upon Georgia's fu
ture. If his plan is practicable to sus
tain him—if visionary, stop him. Peo

They generally march shoulder to

Before he votes to fasten a costly
and may he useless system upon us let
him give us his reasons. If lie objects,
let him enlighten us. We ought to
study this matter. It may be the Tro

Troy without a Laocoon.
The other and laughable subject is
this : some fellow from Wilkes county,
perhaps —will introduce a hill for pro
hibiting the sale of cotton seed from
August Ist to December 2oth, so says
the Constitution. Why not prohibit
the sale of cotton, of corn, of meat, of
peaches, of butter, of qjiiekens ? True,
it is suicidal in a farmer to sell his seed; *
hut is it criminal for him to sell his
produce ? True, we submitted to the
enactment of a law equally absurd—
the sale of seed cotton, hut this was
done to protect the farmer against the
thievish negroes. Had there been no
negroes here such a law would have
never been dreamed of. Hut the idea
of prohibiting a farmer from selling cot
ton seed! Jerusalem! Whither arc
we tending?
Well, the truth of it is, the farmer
has suffered himself pitied and abused
so much and so long that the world
deems him an ass, and he himself is
about convinced of if. He asks for a
guardian and the world is about to ap
point one. 'l his Wilkes county man
may he appointed. Let us wait and
see!— /let in Monroe Advertiser.
Savku. —A line family of childreu
were all afflicted with scrofula. Two
died early; the rest would have sooi;
followed, hut for the timely and perse
vering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilia,
which built them up into a healthy and
vigorous manhood.
Gi s A. Dubois, a well known resi
dedt of St. Louis, says : “I have used
several bottles of Prickly Ash Bitters
for billiousness and malarial troubles,
so prevalent in this climate, and hear
tily recommend it to all afflicted in a
like manner. It is the best remedy I
ever used.”
Cold, cough,coffin is what philosophers
term “a logical sequence.” One i 9 very
liable to follow the other; but by curing the
cold with a dose of Ayer’s Cherry Tectorial,
the cough will be stopped and the coffin not
needed—just at present.
