Ex-Tninsim r HEN FltOE and tho Stato. Wo copy from a lottor of Mr. II. W. Grndy, writou from Now York to tho Atlanta Constitution, the following spontaneous and deserved compliment to Col. J; W. Renfroe, who wa* foroiely a cit izen of our tqwn and county. Al lusion* is made in it to CJol. Renfroe becoming State Treasurer again. We have 'it from Col. Renfroe’s own lips that “lie doos not desire the ollico of. State Treasurer again, and will not bo a candidate for tho place. A proininet bank officer in this city Inquired of ine particularly of Mr. IUn Iroe, late treasurer of the state; He had close relations with Mr. Benflroe while he was treasurer, end eeae him tne most capablo, earefnl end at tentive state official with whom ho had any dealings. Ho was astonished that the state gave up tho services of mch a man, whose loyalty and capacity wore made so strikingly manifest by tho ml- peara that this singular and tragic affair occurred in this manner: About three miles on thoir way homo Mr. Mixon stopped to talk to Mathis, living about that distance from town- Dr. McNorill keeping on his way, and finding that Mixon lingered behind rather longer tlmn ho expected, the doctor turned his horso in a full run to seo what de tained his companion, who had, about the same, time started to overtake tho doctor, riding also at full sliced. Mr. Mixon says that, when they approached near each other lie attempted to guido his horso to tho right and supposes the doctor gave his horse the same di rection, that tho collision was so sudden and severe that ho was hurled senseless to tho ground by coining in contact with tlie doctors head striking him in the stomach. When ho came too lie found the doctor’s liorso lying on him, with a broken shoulder and blooding at tho mouth and nose. The doctors neck was broken and his face and head badly bruised. His own horso was found u short dislnnoo off. A negro man coming up ho was asked to bring tho horse to him, and just as ho led him up tho an imal fell dead. Dr. McNorrill be longed to a good lamilv and leaves a wife and six young cliildron. He made a good soldier, having sorved through tho entiro war in the Fifth Georgia Cavalry- Maurtino.— Josh thus writes to an old bout marrying: Dy awl means, Joe, get mar ried, if you have aij fair show. Don't Btand shivering on the bank, but pitch rite in and stick your head under, and the shiver is over. Thar ain’t any more trick in getting married than thar is in eating peanuts. Men-j ny a man lias stood shivering on tho shore until the river run I out. Don’t expect to marry anj angel; them hev all been picked up long ago. Remember, Joe, yon ain’t a saint yourself. Don’t marry for bufcy exclusively, bu- ty is like ice, awful slippery and thaws dreadful easy. Don’t marry for luv neither; luv is like a cooking stove, good for! nothing when the fuel gives out.! Cut let the mixture be some bu-j ty becomingly dressed with a- hout $250 in her pocket, a gild, 1 speller, handy and neat in her house, plenty of good sense, tuff constitution and by-laws, nj light step; small feet; and Bound: teeth, and a warm heart. This mixture will keep in any cli mate, and will not evaporate.; If the cork happens to] bo left: out, tho strength ain’t gone, Joe. Don’t marry for pedigree unless; it bo backed by bank notes. A family with nothing but pedigree generally lacks sense. Our exports are steadily increas ing. A Frenchman cloth ear wheels. The railroad at St. Louis earns about $-10,000 per month.

Fifth Georgia Cavalry ARE GEORGIANS* POORER < ministration of his office, lsend this to you with all the moroplens- urGlbcfcauso it is my personal opinion thnt Georgia never did grosser injustice to any man that she did to Mr. Hon- froo in tho last campaign. Tlie state never had so good an officer in charge of Iier finances. His ability was large and comprehensive; his record for integrity and devotion was spotless: ho had Eepvcd the state honorably on tho field, in ‘legislative hulls and in tho depart ments, and yet he was tnrnod out of of- flqe merely.because lie had done what nil others treasures' had done, wlmt the legislature had said by solemn enact ment one treasurer should not bo hurt for doing. But let us ngroo that his defeat was necessary as an example Then discipline 1ms been established— the example has been furnished, and Georgia will never he just to one of her truest and most honorable sons, until she has put him back into tho office from which ho was ejected. I do not know that ho would hnvo tho office again, hut I do knoW that ho i« a man, ov(?ry ipch.pf him, and that ho will not rest'easily under defeat [Cartursvilla Free Tress.J A good deal has been said a* bout the opinion of Hon. A. II Stephens as to the condition of Georgia. We think Mr. Steph ens is right. In.fact, our own experience aa a journalist con* vinceti as that ho is right. We know to an absolute certainty it is more difficult to collectffiv* dollars now than it was to collect ton live years ago. The people—we mean tlie toiling masses—are worse oft than they were ten years ago. The taxes are harder to pay. Although everything is cheap, we find that our people have to make ev cry edge cut to “make buckle and tongue meet.’’ This is the experience of every householder or head of a family.
