West l'oint 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!* __ greatly enjoyed by all present. The board of trusteos have re-elected Rev. H. W. Key president for the ensuing year. Com mencement exercises will be oontinned to day and to-morrow. H. Dawson.

Everything quiet along the lino. A heavy rain on ybsterdsy, and from what I can learn a general ra n through the country, and still showery to-day. . Dawson. June 12.—'“G.," in his criticism of synopsis of Dr. Mitchell's able address, in yonr Issue of the 11th, says that “W." “errs very materially.” If * G.” had recol Iccted tho remark of the down in the “Twelfth Night,” act 3, scene 1, that a 'sentence is but a chevirel glove to a gool wit—bow quickly the wrong side may be turned outward, ho would not have been eo harsh in hia critic* m. lie certaiuly has no other treasure to give his readers but an exehequer of words. Aye, why not? Because troth is truth, despito of all cocteoverey. “W.” meant the same thing that “G." did, notwithstanding “W.” 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 G., as you ride around in hideous form, like a ghoul at night, and altogether ns harmless, may the ants never tiouble your sugar again, bor tha gnats and the flies BUgnr ngniu, uui iuu iuiu mo uioi yonr aftsr-dinner siesta molest.

June 12.—We are having some very wet weather in this seotion. The crops are as fine as the lands will make them. | I see through your valuable columns that I there is a general uprising against A. U.

You have put the ball in motion, and do, dear editors, for the sake of yonr readers, keen it in motion, until this people shall rally together and place at the head of the oolumn some true and worthy Democrat to bear its oolora to the capital.

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. G. W. Walker, Jr., wears the rotato belt. He brought one to town a few day* ago that measured 14}$ inches in oircumferrccx one way and 11M inches the othar.

June 14.—Tbe entertainment and festi val given by Orran Council No. 857, Amer ican legion of Honor, last night, to their members and invited friends, was ono of the most enjoyable occasion* ever partici pated in by the citizens of our town. The programme consisted of addresses by Gen. O. C. Horne, deputy grand commander, James A. Thomas, orator. Dr. T. F. Walk er, commander, and M. E. Robinson, past commander, whose remarks were very ap propriate and interesting. The musical part of tbe entertainment was well rendered by the talent o! onr city, and special mention shocli be mod# of the following: “Kath leen Mavaurnuen,” by Miss Hcnnie Cole man; “Blue Alsatian Mountaica," Mbs Zillfth Coomb*; “Chaoses of the Bells," Hisses Mamie and Bessie Capers; “Tired, lisses F.

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 ing is held bnt what they rtotive additions to their nnmber, and considering the pop ulation of onr town, they have as large a council as any in the State.

Mr. R. W. Dobson, road-nuuter of tho Maoon and Brunswick division ot the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, hat removed his family back to Jesnp to day. Several of onr young gallants feel very blue about ft, as they will miss tho young ladies. Mr. Henry Wooten, o? Macon, is rusti cating in Cochran among his many friend*. 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.*.

They went to the front door of the store in which Tommie slept and knocked, und when asked by Tommie who it was, answered by givieg ths name of a negro. Unfortunately for Willie, n negro had been in tho store that evening and told Tommie ho would call that night ar.d get some goods be had pur chased, and the name given by Willie not being the name of the negro who had made the purchase*, Tommie, fearing something might be wrong, after lighting his lamp, got his pistol and held it in one hand while he unlocked tho door with tho other.
