Lester and Gucrard.
On Saturday last a large and
enthusiastic meeting of the cit
izens of the county was held at
the Court House where they were
addressed by these distinguished
gentlemen. Mr. Guerard is a
pleasant speaker, ready and able
and in the interest of Mr. Nor
wood, his speech was a good one
full of facts and convincing to
the understanding. The adminis
tration of Gov. Colquitt suffered
severely at his hands and the
short comings of the chief Exec
utive of our State were shown
up in a strong light. He was
followed by the Hon. Rufus E.
Lester, a son of Chatham, whom
all Georgians delight to honor, a
Democrat tried and tiue, honest
xnd pure—talented aud worthy,
a man whose character is above
reproach and beyond suspicion,
his speech was listened to with
great attention and had weight
with the whole assemblage, near
ly all agreeing with the distin
guished speaker in his eloquent
remarks upon the present ad
ministration which was not what
the people desired—a change
was asked for, and demanded by
tile good thinking men of the
State und it was to be hoped that
a change would be made, as it
would redound to the honor of
the democracy and the good ol
Georgia. Mr. Lester made a very
favorable impression upon our
people, and gained many friends
during his short stay among us.
Mr. Guerard is a young man ol
brilliant promise, a lawyer of
admitted ability and we would
welcome him among us at all
times when duty or inclination
should send him into our county.

Titou art a bright and beaming light
That o’er the sea of life
Sheds rays most cheering to tho sight
When stiugs of woe are rife.
Across the stormy ocean wide
When tempests howl above,
Thou art a true and faithful guide,
Cheers with tho smile of love.
Thou art tho sea-tost sailor’s frioud,
That in tho dreary night
Sweet promises of comfort sends,
Bidding him strive with might,
Without thee, happiness is flowu,
As light with sun from view,
Miseries clarion loud is blown,
Pealing wild her Curfew.

What a Single Cent Did.
A singular financial transaction
occurred in au office a day or two
since. By some means or other the
office boy owed one of the clerks
three cents, the clerk owed the cash
ier two cents, and tho cashier owed
tho office boy two cents. One day
last week, the office boy having a cent
Never steer your course to please
other people, for wherein you please in his pocket, concluded to diminish
one you offend another; but Vork bis debt, and therefore hamled it
to pleaue God and your conscience over h> l ) ie o1 ^ who . in t “ rn ,
* - - half trf his debt by giving it to the
cashier. The latter handed it back
to the boy, saying that he now only
owed one cent. The office boy again
passed the cent to the clerk, who
passed it to the cashier, who passed
it back to the boy, and the boy dis
charged his entire debt by handing
to tho clerk, thereby squarring all
accounts* Thus it may be seen how
great is the benefit- to be derived
from a single cent if only expended
judiciously.—Ex.
and all good men will approve.—
And do your work to-day, for to
morrow is not yours. If you have
a good word to speak to an erring
or depressed soul, make haste to
speak it or you may loose the op
portunity. And Christian, it you
have it in your heart to relievo tile
poor, for Hoaven’s sake, make no
delay.—Thomasville Post.
Judge Hiram Warner, late chief
justice of the . Supreme court of
Georgia, haB served the people of
the state in official capacity during
more than thirty-five years. In
1828 he was the youngest Superior
court Judge in the state. When
the Supreme court was organized
in 1845, he was the youngest judge
on that bench, and when he resign

Maine, is not a novice in public
affairs, lie was horn in Jefferson,
New Hampshire, on November 2,
1828, and was brought up on his
father’s farm, working during the
summer months und teaching
school in winter. He finally grad
uated at Colby university in 1858,
and at the Albany law school in
1855, when he was admitted to the
bar, and began the practice of the
law in Bangor, Me., in 185(5. He
served in the union army through
out the war as colonel of the Elev
enth Maine volunteers, und receiv
ed at its close the brevet of major
general. In 1867-08 lie sat in the
state legislature, was a delegate-
at-large to the national republican
convention of 1808, und served as
attorney general of the state du
ring 1873-75. In 1874 he was
elected to congress front the fourth
district by about 1,000 majority,
hut was not a candidate in 1870.
He left the republican party about
two years ago, and the late cam
