We take pleasure in acknowledging
the following note from the Macon
fublic Library and Hisorical Society :
PUBLIC LIBRARY & HISTORI
CAL SOCIETY, 92 Mulberry St.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 7, 1882.
Sir:—At a regular meeting of the
Board of "Directors, held Noyember 6,
the following was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Association be returned to Sullivan
Bros, for The True Citizen, Waynes
bo,o, Ga., (weekly) donated.
Very respectfully,
Chas. Hebbst, Libarian.
THE ELECTION.
The election Tuesday passed off
very quietly, so quietly, indeed; that
oue would not have known from any
outward appearance that an important
election was pro ressingl The vote
was so light as to amount to no vote at
all for this county, tlieie being only 960
votes pol ed in the whole county—neither
party st eming to take any interest in
the matter. Nicholls, (I)cin.) received
176 votes; Atkins, (Rep) received
777 votes—Atkins’ majority 601.—
Hardeman, (Democratic candidate for
Congicssman -at-large,) received 192
votes; Forsyth, (Rep. candidate for
Congressman-at-large,) received 768
votes—Forsyth’s majority 576. Had
the Democrats come out and voted, the
county could have been carried without
an effort. Two years, with the excep
tion of the county elections in January,
will elapse before our people are again
stirred up upon political matters, and
then will come one of those national up
heavals. each recurrence of which we
deem a national crisis.

OUR ARTESIAN WELL'.
The artesian wejl, taking into consid
eration the unavoidable breaks in the
work, has progressed rapidly, and is
nos 820 feet in depth. The strata pre
dominating are sand and clay ; beds of
oyster shell several feet thick have
been penetrated, and a stratum of an
thracite coal some eight or ten feet
in thickness was passed through at a
great depth. This we think lemarltnble.
A bed of blue marl was struck at about
220 feet below the surface 20 feet thick,
upon the penetration of which artesian
Mater flo’wed from the top of the well,
knit not in sufficient quantity, and the
work went on. 'J he drill is now pass
ing through another stratum of blue
innr 1 , how thick no one wi'l know until
it is gone completely through.—
it is useless 1o ask how deep the well will
be, it may be only a hundred feet more
i» depth, or it may go down several
hundreds of feet yet, Rest assured that
it will go down till we get tood warier,
and plenty of it. " Mr. L. B. Clay, the
contractor certainly understands his
busiots^and has fouud an able second
in the person of Mr. William McCath
era. Work (has been - stopped on the
w*dl for the past two days on account
of Mr. Clay's sickness.
