IT IS JULY.
In the Joly number of St. XichOlas Mrv.
Bwutt contributes the following stanzas.
The theme, the season, the language and
the lady all suggest warmth of tone and
coloring, as the art connoisiecrs might
»f:
When the scarlet cardinal tells
i1»: v . ua io th -dragon-f
And the latj breete make* i
And murmurs a lullaby,
It Is July.
When the Untied cobweb pulls
The corn-flotrer’s blue cap awry.
When the heat like a mist-veil floats.
And popples flame In the eye.
And the surer note In the streamlet's throat
lias softened almost to a sigh.
It is July.
When the hours are eo still that Time
Forgets them, and lets them lie
'Neaih petals pink till the night stars wink
At the sunset in the sky.
Ills July.
When each finger-post by the way
Pays that Blumberiown Is nigh;
When the grass Is tall, and lbs roses fall.
And nobody wonders why.
It Is July.

A'£VTS GATHERED MY SPECIAL
COR RES POX DEXTH.
Urnnawlck.
Jrsa, 14.—It Is fair to suppose that yon
are for a Macon man for governor and for
Congressman at large. If yon arc not yon
ought to be, for yon have some of the beat
men for both poxitions in the State. Sim
mons, Hardeman and Bacon—any one of
these would fill either or any office within
the gift of the people with credit to them
selves and honor to the State. None of
the men whose names are mentioned in
connection with either of the above offices
(except the three gentlemen whose names
I have mentioned) suit our idea of what a
true Democrat is or ought to be. Gen.
Gurtrell is not soond in the faith, lie is
too intimato with the jioliticat parson of
the seventh congressional district. A man
can’t oome in contact with an object dirtier
thin himself without becoming dirtier than
he was. He might more reason
ably expect to lie down with
dog and get op without flees than
to constantly associate with the vile without
imbibing some of their corruption; so we
would have to hold noses to take in Mr.
Ga-trell. Wo have an excessively tender
stomach, nud do not wish to etirup the bile
just at this season—not with that kind of
medicine,at sll events. We would prefer,in
finitely, a little voyage op the deep bide
Sparta.
Jra* 19.—The year 1882 is indeed attend
ed with much to cheer and encourage os.
Heebies the small-grain crop* already saved,
the cotton, though small for the season of
the year, is growing, as well as grassy. The
com fields are fine—in many places silks
aod taisels are abundant and the works of
“laying by” has begun la earnest. If the
rains oontinue for thirty days longer, our
county will be safe on the corn crop.
The small grain, where threshed, has
proven very fine. Many of our large plan
ters threshing from 1,BOO to 2J/00 or 3,000
bushels. I hear of a few who expect to get
from five to eight thousand bushels. The
small farmers, I think “are ahead,” how
ever, on big yields per acre. Mr. Bales,
who lives four and n half or five miles west
of Sparta sowed one and three-quarter
aens in wheat and made fifty-three beth
els. Mr. Mn!>e Jackson sowed two ail 1
three-quurtor bushels of wheat (area plant
ed not known) and used no manure except
a half barrel of guano, left from manuring
his last cotton crop, lie mado elghty-flTe
budtels of wheat.
Mr. James McCook t .red ten acres in
cats, used no mannre k*d threshed 600
bushels, besides leaving enough unthreshed
to yield, in the opinion of good judges, 200
bethels more.
One of our largest farmers, Judge John
T. Berry, °iade 127 bushels of wheat on six
acres. The Jo-ige has also some of the
finest fields of upland corn we have ever
seen in this part of our State, lie it a suc
cessful cotton plants* too.
Food crops of all kinds are receiving
such attention as has not been given them
before for many years. Planting of both
potatoes and pees began early and still
oontinuee. Of oourse, with so much to oo-
espy and iutoreet our people very few have
tima for polities. The Tri.ro *zrn and
Messkxukm has many attentive readers iu
our county, and its conns, as to Use guber
natorial canvass, meets the approval of
many of our citizens.
The court house is growing steadily, and
Hancock dressed granite, with Macon
pressed brick, presents a handsome appear
ance.
The religious services, begun over three
weeks ago, at the Methodist church, and
oontinuod since the first of last week at the
Presbyterian church, are still well attended
and intereating. Besides the additions to
the Methodist church, notice * of wbioh j ou
have seen, as the result of these services,
the Rev. O. P. Fitzsimmons, pastor of the
Presbyterian ehurch, received on yes erday
eleven members, amogg thorn some of oar
most piotrinent and influential citizens.
After a short, but pointed and appropriate
folk by him, to tbo newly received mem
bers, Her. Bam Jones, of the M E. church,
preeohed a powerful and characteristic
sermon to a very large audience. Ho
preached again yesterday afternoon and
also laat night at the Presbyterian church
to large congregations, and it is believad
much good la being done. A. H.

little haU fell in the central

storm the lightning struck the residences of
of M. If. Boyer and William Gsltagher^lso
tho Gilmore House, but fortunately all
were protected by rods and no damage be
yond severe shock* was done. A large oak
standing near by the dwelling of G. W.
Biount was shattered by electricity.
Noah Johnson, a negro and ex-United
States soldier, to whom was given the con
tract for carrying tho mall from Tenni’le
to Sandersville, to begin on the 1st prox„
has forwarded his declination, or rather
resignation, to the department at Wash
ington.
We were pleased to see the handsome,
smiling countenance of Charlie Clarke, of
your city, here again yesterday. Becomes
occasionally, ostensibly to visit his father,
the Itev. Geo. O. Clarke, but some of tbs

very perplexing qiesttou whieh baa re

hear of thee “what thou thinkest.” The
McVilte council has recently collected
several hundred dollars on ths sals of
whisky license, and they have donated two
hnndrsd dollar* of this to the completion
of the McVille church. The question is,
foi which of the two great kingdoms have
they done the most? Satan has been
armed with the most powerful lever ever
known to his kingdom, while th«* Lord h .s
built for him a synagogue. The coin-
thn of this would open the way for
at least a thirty minutes* speech from
as able a man as Col. Hardeman. IVr.
haps ths ooaneil are like the old gentle
man was at sea—.* tills the storm raged he
prated first to the I/ml and then to the

answered that ho was not quite sure yet
into whose hands ho wontd fall, and so he
would fain make fair wsaiher with both.

circumstances attending this eocTunter
are not fully known. It is said, however,
that they p*ted with the understanding

not, Is exceedingly doubtful. It did hap

JUBB 20.—I have been intimately a*und

tory and sentiment* of my connty for the
last fifteen yeira, and I do not remember
daring the whole of that time ever to have
seen the young and working men of the
Democratic party eo much discouraged as
they are now. They see men who have
worked hard and earnestly for the party
attempted to be cast aside for men of
doubtful devotion to it, and whoso friend*
cannot point to a campaign in which they
struck a single blow for the party. They
have seen men belonging to the tame par
ty and running for the same office, and
have seen the one havinc the least claims
upon tte party elected. 1 do not question
the devotion of the yonng men of the par
ty to principle, but whon they see their ef
fort* in behtlf of the party unrewarded,
the question come* ur, liow long will they
continue to work for such n party?
Bat notwithstanding oil this, one
more effort will be made in our

g lace men in position who have been true

of wheat and oat* raised in oar section is
the order of the day. It is truly painful to
observe how slow the people have been in

it is to be hoped they will continue doing
so; aod in a few brief years ws will have

churdiro, twenty stores, four physio*ans,
three lawyers, and a floe school under the
supervision ot Prof. W. B. McCarty.
The wheat nnd oat crop# are good, raid a
full harveet baa been realized. Tho corn
and cotton erope are gruwiug finely. W*
bad a splendid raiu Sunday evening,
considerable h*U storm swept over
a portiou of Troop and Heard
counties, doing much damage to
the crop* and property in it* score.
The bridge over tne ChttUhcoohee at
Franklin, wa* ooraptotaly npeet and blown
down. It was new and had jast cost the
comity about five itouannd dollars. Cot-
ton and corn within the scope of the stonu
was almost entirely destroyed. Mr. Rob

some cotton end com stalk* to onr sanc
tum yesterday. The blades of tho com
were split into a thousand pioees, aad th*
cotton stalks didn't have a leaf left. Mr.
B. had fifty acres In cotton almost totally
wrecked. We are glad to state that this
terrible storm was not general in Ua mareh
and passed over a narrow ftoop*. about a
mile wide.
