Notes Gathered Here and There By The Ledger’s Correspondent. Special Correspondence to Tub Cbdokr.] Gum Springs. Ga., Sept. 11. —Cotton picking and fodder pulling is the order of the day?

Bond or no bonds, fence or no fence, is the talk of every man, woman and child of the Sixth district. At present the “No’s” seem to have it by a large majority. We are all in favor of anew courthouse, and are willing to bear our part of the burden if the lower part of the county will treat fair with us and help us build it near tlie center of the county, any about old Cassvilie, but never will we consent to build it at Cartersville at a cost of $30,000 and pay $33,500 interest on that amount. We hope that the good citizens of the grand old Banner county of the Empire State of the South will not be so ignorant as to vote any such a burden as to the fence question in the Sixth district. The old Sixth can take care of itself. HALL’S MILLS. Zephyrs Wanted Front the l'rccincts of Halt’s Mil’s. Special Correspondence to Tint I.vtHtEi. H.vu.’s Muxs, Sept. 9.—Warm, warm.

And That It Will Take All of Their Wire Working, Pulling and Hnul lug toControlThem—Desperate Means to Be Resorted To. Ignorance or prejudice. Which is it? Yesterday J. S. Rhodes of the Sixth district was in town and in conversation with some of his Alli ance brethern he said that it was the intention of his sub-Alliance not to allow its members to go and ! hear Dr. Felton speak. Or if the ; Doctor and Everett did meet in joint discussion the members would go and hear Everett speak but would leave in a body when Felton arose i to speak. A rumorhas also reached the ears of a Ledger reporter that a reso lution was introduced in the above Alliance to prohibit the members from attending any of Dr. Felton’s meetings out cooler heads persuad ed the members not to adopt it. It is nevertheless true that the bosses are uneasy and will resort to an}' means at their hands to hold the members in line. This much is learned from the every day conver sation of Alliancemen. It is also noticed that the lo<-al bosses are urging the members to stick telling first one yarn and an other which they can not substan tiate. The Cold facts are agains\tl>em, City Court.
