A 6’A A O b LL 1)0 LMES 7 1 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.
