March 23d, 1877. § IE ENTERPRISE:—Your 5th inst., contains a letter from Mr. S. A. Foster, to which it now gives me pleasure to respond. I would be more, or less, than it man if I failed to appreciate with a grateful heart, the kind sentiments expressed for me personally, and also, as the proprietor and editor of the late "Upson Pilot" which was turned to @shes in 1863 materially, but whose principles and motto:—"The union of the States; distinct as the billows,—one, as the sea," I hope will be never destroy- ed by fire and war kindled by the passions and ambition of folly and fanaticism. After the lapse of near- ly twenty years and still permitted to remain like the conquerer of the Cimbri amid the ruins of Carthage sad and desolate, a few of my old Upson readers can now testify, per- haps in tears and bitterness, whether I then spoke the words of truth and groes were found guilty of appropri- ating what belonged to Mr. D.

As we have before expressed we think it a judicious investment and every one coincides with us. Our good ladies are delighted to know that will soon have a beautiful park. Oh, we will have it! There is no doubt about it! Thomaston is now a unit, thanks heaven, on all public enterprise that : promise to add to her attractiveness or prosperity. And she must forev- |er remain so. When the season for transplanting tress and shrubbery comesagain we will then show the |world by our acts that we are de- termined to have our town ornament- ed’with a beautiful and pleasant rescit —a pretty park. In our imagination we can already see flowery fringed gravel walks winding around rip- pling fountains to a crystal lakes, where trailing willows will throw their flickering shadows over silver dusted lillies. A variety of beautiful |shade trees and rustic settees out on cleanly shaven lawns, where our Bachelors can sum themselves in the presence of our bonanzas and inhale Ithe spicy perfumes emitted by bloom- |ing jessa mines and purpel heliotropes. |Don’t talk to us about your blue winding streams, warbling bird, musical rills, he—We are going to have a park. Cheerfulness is the daughter of em- ployment, hence people are mosthap- py when they have plenty of honest work to do.

We are sending a great many copies of our paper to former citizens of this county who now reside in Texas. They write us that it comes to them and is appreciated as "a letter from home."

A GOOD USE OF I"s. —Persons who patronize papers shoId pay promptly, for the pecuniary prospects of the press have peculiar power in pushing forward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly, and his pocket-book kept plethoric by prompt paying patrons, he puts his pen to I paper in peace : he paints his pictures of passing events in more pleasant col- |ors, and the perusal of his paper is of more pleasure to his people. Paste this piece of proverbial philosophy in some place where all persons can perceiveit. Be pleased also to pond- er upon it thyself, patiently and perseveringly, and profitably, and persistently practice its precepts perpetually. The soldiers cemetev has been cleaned up nicely. That’s good. Now what is our "city papas" going to do about our city cemetery? It is eus- tomary every where for the municip- al authorities to keep the cometerys, in their respective towns, in a good condition. Why not here? There is certainly not a tax payer that will ob- ject and we now ernestly insist upon our City Council giving the matter their attention. We are now getting up a mail route from Thomaston to Chalybeate Springs via Blaekville an Alford’s Chapel. The petition provides for an office at each Blackville and The Chapel and proposes to deliver the mail to the planters along the route (on Wednesdays) weekly. This will be a great convenience to the citizens| of West Upson and the Southeas- torn portion of Meriwether, as many of them have to go from twelve to fifteen miles now after their mail. We are assured by Represenatives Harris and (Candler that the Pos Mas- ter General will establish the route if we can procure a respectable list of petitioners and we doubt not but that every man between here and the Springs will cheerfully and willingly sign it. Think about it gentlemen| and when we come among you be ready to Cell us vuare SOLID for it. If you want Cats, Clothing Dress Goods, Notions, just price them at tf Jos. ALLEN’S. Ex Gov. BULLOCK has been elected treasurer of the Atlanta Cotton Facto- ry‘ vice Mr. II. R. Berry, who resign- ed. To acquit a man, guity of for- gery’ thieving, and every other crime horrifying to true men, a man who had become detested in the eyes of every honorable, true-hearted and honest Georgian, was bad enough; but now to welcome hfnY in our State and place him at the head of our en- terprises, is enough to make every good citizens of our Empire State hang his head in shame. Last week two negro men in this town stole a rooster (15 cts) and were promptly sent to jail where they now await the sentence of the approaching May Superior Court. If they had stolen fifteen thousand dollars, or five hun- dred thousand dollars, where would they have been to-day? Honored of course! That’s the way we do in Georgia. Who are the stock holders in Bullock? Shame on them for em- ploying him and rejecting honorable men who are more competent to dis- charge the duties of that office. New Goods at Messrs Cheney & Matthews’ and prices lower than land renters—all contemplate going next Fall, but I guess they will not be so anxious then as now. We have just started a new town over at the crossing of the Thomaston and Culloden, and Barnesville and Waynmanville roads, and have nam- ed it Florenceville, Mr. P. T.

When I had read the first tion were legion, yet, an intelligent number of the jury brought in a verdict in accord with the law and evidence—"not guilty." Mr. Richard Hall was im- mediately rearrested on a charge of murder. Mr. Hall killed a negro woman several years ago, in 1866 or 67. The case was put to the heel of the docket, in order to give the Solic- itor General time to bring in witness- com- cluded it was the newsiest, most read- able, and best paper I had ever seen from Thomaston. The dying throes of the "Herald" has certainly produ- ced a paper in every respect superior to the old one. I wish you the most abundant success.

The case will go before the grand jury to-day (Tuesday.) I see the ENTERPRISE contained an abreviated statement of the suicide of Mr. Cunningham. I will mention one particular that your enterprising agent left out ; the suicide was caused by a religious mania. Mr. Cunning- ham, on the morning of the fatal 16th, began to shout, and said he had got religion and was called to preach and preached an extempore sermon.— With the adroitness of a monomaniac, he cluded the watchful care of his brothers and filed across fields to Mr. ance. Holmes’ and procured an old army musket, from a negro cabin in Mr. rid blasphemy. No wonder the town |is quiet, when liquor has been banish- ed. Marion county is blessed in pos- sessing a local liquor law. What a ipity that some counties and some villages I know of don’t make an ef- fort to crush the monster in their midst. Nothing is doing so much mischief; and yet there are those who are ready to offer apologies for it, and to countenance it.
