There la a litt’e bird that slng*-
As loud he fciiiK’s, and thus sings be—
“Sweetheart!"
I’ve heard him sing on soft spring days-
•-Sweetheart!"
And when the sky was dark above,
And wintry winds had ^tripped the grove,
Ho still poured forth these words of k>vo—
“Sweetheart !’•
And like that blrd^my^heart, too, sings—
Wb*n heaven Is dark or bright or bine.
When trees are bare or leaves are new,
It thua sings on and tings of you—
“Sweetheart 1"
What need of other wards than thee—
“Sweetheart!"
If I should slug a whole year long
My love would not be shown more strong
Than by this short and simple song—
“Sweetheart:"
—Dr. Shoemaker.

June 12.—Owing to my -promise, made
to the irrepreasible Tom Harney, the most
universally known man in the South, I
hasten to thr jw tv**thee a few items perti
nent to West Point and vicinity. e are
justly proud of onr little city. There is
probably me re business transacted within
ne§ limits than in any other town of tho
same size in the State. It has always borne
the reputation of enterprise. Our citizens
are public-spirited and are ever on the
alert,seeking wherein they can advanco the
interest of their town. We have a perfect
system of pnbllo schools, presided over by
an able corps of teachers -scholarship over
230 pnpils. Near ns stand two magnificent
cotton mills; the West Point Cctton Manu
factory is foar miles distant, W. T. Lang,
superintendent; 100 looms, 6,0U)
•pindles; hard thread a specialty.
The Georgia and Alabama mills are
seven miles from town. “Dad” Ling, su
perintendent, makes osnaburge, duck and
•hooting, specialties. These mills havo
lately undergone thorough repairs. Vice-
President W. T. llaguley is North at the
present time in tha interest of said mills.
They already havo 128 looms and 6,230
spindles.
John PamMI, brother to Charles the
agitator, lives near here. He makes daily
shipments of his luscious fruit from his
lmmenss orchards. He realizes quite
handsoino profits from his daily sales.
The Mozart-Meredith literary and ran
•ion! olnb is an ornament to this commu
nity. The young men's library association
is another ovideuce that we are not slug
gards. Culture can be found here oh
every hand in simple and unostentatious
purity. Many are contemplating a sojourn
of about seventy. The exhibit!* __

of trusteos have re-elected Rev. H. W. Key
president for the ensuing year. Com

not? Because troth is truth, despito of

expressed tho same truth in different style
and language.
O, injurious G., to feed on such s^cet
honey and kill the boes that yield it, with
your sting. Truth hath better deeds than
words to grace it. “For justice sake,"
“W."would net pluok an isolated*gem
from the beautiful crown of your “talented
young divine.” True, it is, in power of
thougnt and grandeur of imagery, sweet
ness of expression and true eloquence, his
aforesaid address comparts favorably with
the “Bweet Bwau of avo».” Now, friend

of yonr readers, keen it in motion, until
this people shall rally together and place
at the head of the oolumn some true and

Juki 12.—The course oi your paper in
the canvass for governor me ts with ap-
pioval in our county. W* are for Major
Bacon for governor.
We believe that the interests of the peo
ple demand an executive physically as well
as mentally competent to discharge the
dutiee of the office.
We fuel that Mr. Stephens has received
foil recognition at the haudt of the Dsople
of Georgia, that all of his great services
have been adequately rewarded. That in
hia decliniug years he should be willing to
give place to younger men and retire to
the tranquil rest hem greatly needs, and
tor which he so earnestly longed a short
time since.
We do not feel that any urgent need of
the boor creates a duty impelling him to
_ en some, wh?, as botwren Steuben* and
Bavon, will rapport the former. Dacoo,
however, is stronger than Stephens just
now. Judga Reese would be acceptable to
a goodly number.

programme consisted of addresses by Gen.
O. C. Horne, deputy grand commander,
James A. Thomas, orator. Dr. T. F. Walk

commander, whose remarks were very ap
propriate and interesting. The musical part
of tbe entertainment was well rendered by

and was received with such
gratification that he was oiled back to the

“Fnderhaus.” both in Gernisn. Several
beintifully arranged bouquet* and baskets
of flowers were tendered to some of the
artists. Ice cream and cake were abun
dantly furnished to ail, and there was but
one expression by the entire audience, and
that w s: “A grand success and an enjoy
able evening.” This council was instituted
here on February 22d, 1882, with only
eighteen companions, bnt scxrcely a meet

Mr. Henry Wooten, o? Macon, is rusti

Item* from here are scarce. Nao.
his past service, is so necessary to tbe
State, that a failure to elect him governor
would imperil the public aafety, that any
true harmony will be promoted by the
election of Mr. HUphens, or that it ia an
entirely desirable thing to s ect a governor
by tbe unanimous vote of the people.
Deeply impressed with the Deport tneeof
the past service of the sage of Liberty
Hall, proud of his honorable record, cer
tain that no jervice he can render person
ally or by proxy in the executive chair can
add to hie fame as a sUtesraao, and equally
certain that a term pf service ns governor
may cause discontent end detract from bis
feme so honorably earned, our people are
disposed to Uks him at bU word and grat
ify th* desire so earnestly expieased by
him last winter to retire from publie life
and pursoe his literary labors. Mach may
be lost to history, much to literature, by
fordug upon Mr. Btephene a continuance
of publio labo.*.
Upon th* other hand, oar people are
deeply impressed with the feeling that Ma
jor Bacons past service, his views upon
measures affecting the materUt develop
ment of the Btate, and u{>on all the impor
tant questions affecting the public veil, hia
Labit* of thought, his record a* Speake-,
showing but two days’ absence during the
whole term of his labors as Speaker, u re

eminently qualify him for tbe executive
office, sad so thinking, Glynn sends s

our expremion of our preference.
We, here, fee! equally convinced
that ae tbe candidate of our choice in the
last election for governor was overwhelm
ingly e'ected, so will Msj >r Bacon be, end
arc not di« posed to surrender our opinion
until th* c invention hue pronounced its
judgmeat, not even though the Atlanta
