— We are painfully lrnpres ed with
the knowledge that The Citizen is not
up to its usual standard ihis mo k.
But everyone connected with the office
baa been sick. Little Ned, our rght
arm, has been confined to his bed all the
week, and his ease of small type has
stood ’eser ed and in grim silence.--
'i he two hands left have worked early
and late, and even when both were suf
fering with a burning fever. We hope
this explanation will suffice. We have
no idea at all of letting The Citizen
fall off, but shall strive to make each
succeeding number bettor than the last.
Our local correspondents (and good
ones, too,) are increasing in numbers,
and in the course of a short time we

—Tn some portions of the county
there has been no rain in 15 or 20 days
and in these places the cotton is reports

—Mr. J. S. Blum 1 makes the dull
season lively b}' constructing mature

The Gubernatorial Convention met
in the Representative Hall in ihe capi-
tol in Atlanta, at 12 o’clock, m., on
Wednesday, and promptly organized by
electing Capt Harry Jackson per
manent chairman.
The first question was the prevalence
of the majori y or the two thi-ds rule
for the government of the action of the
convention. The majority rule was
adopted by an overwhelming majority.
Ou Thursday morning, considering
the vo‘e upon the majority rule a ‘est
vote, the name of lion. A. O Bacon
was withdrawn, and Hon. A, LI. Ste
phens was nominated by acclamation,
amidst the greatest, enthusiasm.
Hon. Thomas Hardeman was nomi
nated for Congressman at large by a
large majority. All the present State
House officers were renominated with
out opposition. The greatest harmo
ny and g od feeling prevailed through
out the deliberations of the convention.
The Democra sof Georgia have spoken
their will in .he gubernatorial conven
tion, and to day The Citizen runs the
names of its s andard-bearers to its
mast head, and will sink or swim, sur
vive or^erisli by its colors. The ’ime
has come for the burying of all person
al animosities an! personal prefer nces.
An unscrupulous national Administra
tion has already filled almost ail the
federal offices with men o! noxious to
the intelligence of the people of the
State of Georgia, and is pushing that
policy ‘o 'he utmost extreme with the
hope of again es ablislti g Radical dom-
iu^ti n. V\ e al, know what tha' is, ai d
every true Democrat will rally to its
defeat. Let there be ha ninny and uni

been recorded in favor of any man since
