Eaily History of Talbotton. To an enquiry as to whether Uncle John Maund kuew anything of.the early history of Talbotton, he replied: “Well, I should think so. I carried | ihe grape vine for the surveyor,old Biii McMurray, who laid it out. ‘ In fact, 1 ■ cut the grape vine in Wilson's creek, for which he paid me a quarter. That w.iS in 1827 or 1828, I think. Talbotton is lo cated on lot 266. l6th district, formerly Muscogee county, and was drawn by a man named Gilbert, who gave it to his son, but afterwards took it away from him when it was decide x to locate Tal bott mon it. There was a groat deal of exci -ment over Ihe location of the coun ty site at tlio time, the oilier candidate tor the location being Centrevilie, about five miles east of Talbotton. and each place run a man for the Legislature. Zack W hite was Talbotton‘a candidate and Ichabod Cox. Centreville's, and the latter was elected, but unfortunately for Centreville, the school of politics to which Cox belonged was iu minority in the leg islature, and Talbotton*s name was in sen ad in the bill despite his efforts. Af ter the puss .go of the bill, Mr Cox rose m his seat and asked to be allowed to change his name (meaning from the nay* to the yeas), when a wag belonging to the opposition said he would second the gentleman's request aud would suggest that his uauae be changed to Cockadoo de. This created an uproar and tha change was never in.ide. The first court house was a log one and located on the nurinwest corner of the present court lot, aud I have o.'teu seeu us many as ti iy fights in one night in it, and more broken noses aud bunged eyes than you could count. Those were good old days belore the supremacy of pistols, when a man like myself stood some showing, and a knock down and drag out did not necessitate a funeral. This court room was used till the completion of ihe present court house in 1831 which was built by Charles aud John N Burch. The town aud the-' sec ion was visit and by a terrible storm in 1832, whi.-li did gre.it damage, knock*ng out the gable ends of the court house. There have been 100 sessions of tuc superior court held in this county, 101 of which 1 have attended was providentially prevented from at tending the other tour. Twelve judges administered justice iu that, temple, the first of whom was Waiter T Colquitt,who was followed by G E The mas, Alfred Iver son, Joseph Sturgis, M J Wellooru, Rob eia B Alexander, E 11 Worrill, James Johnson, Martin J Crawford, E M Bu t, J L Wimberly and J T Willis.

A I£uoxville ll*- ot the Tribune, says “a farmer's ambition should be to own smaller laud lilies and better land, to own a less num ber ol stock and better stock. More praise to him who raises one thousand bushe's of corn from ten acres than to him who raises the same from twenty— and to him that feeds live cows into mak ing a pound of butter each day, than to him who has ten cows and gets a half pound from each and to him that makes yearling po kciswt igh an much as his neighbor's two-year olds, than to trim neighbor.
