GEORGIA GLEANINGS.] 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.

The question is, foi which of the two great kingdoms have they done the most?
