Tlwre is no sitrh Word as Fail. t Can wo nut learn a lesson from tliitt 1 noble sentiment '( May we not think jof it and bo cnconrugod ? “In the j bright lexicon of youth which fute re aerves fur a glorious manhood, their i« no such word as fail.” The path of knowledge is indeed rough; the mines of (.cit uCo are deep, and the rocks of prejudice must be cut : away before we can reach them; and wo sometimes think, What if, after all the long and weary hours of toilsome labor, we fail- Let us remember that | in the vocabulary of youth, there is no such word as “fad.” There are many incidents or> record in the pages of his tory to show that if we are resolved to bo useful, we will succeed. Sbukspeare himself was born in the bumble walks . of life, with no means of cultivating his mind. No friendly hand was near ;to lift him out of the ’deep tinfre of ig norance; hilt bis own genius saw afar the shining lighthouse of (arm: on the rugged hi!! of science, and urged on by an indomitable will, lit: determined to inscribe his name high upon the scroll. Ho did not fail. A host of i many others have proved the truth of this assertion. And shall we who are surrounded with so many advantages to enrich our minds with stores of knowledge—shall we idly told our hands and, like the unfaithful steward, bury our tdents for fear should “fail?” No; let us rather perform our mission in life, not forgetting that in lolly de term illations'sill'd unbending resolutions ! there is no such word as “fail.” ‘ Attempt the ou<t and ut-vi-i’ stand in ilonlif. , No: king in haul, but ,-eareh will Bod it tmt.’l L.

Among them I must mention my esteemed friend, Rev. S. Harvey, who is always ready to meet a friend with a lieai ty good u ill ami a cheerful laugh : Wm. Ti ant ham, one of the oldest set -1 tiers of the county; Mr. Solomon (i J Johnson, with the same lively disposi- I tion that he always possessed, and with whom wo have led classes in vocal music together many days past. Mr. | J pit ti Lester, with his readiness to pass and enjoy u good joke; Mr. A. Smith, a good, open and warm hearted friend; Mr. Hazel, always engaged attending tu his own business—doing the best ho can for himself, his family and his friends, and who, by the by, is no dis advantage to uny community, but will always have friends wherever known; Mi. Link; ouiold friend Win. Thump Messrs. Aldridge and A. Mayfield; Major Borum,’Squire Divine, and many others that I cannot give time and space to mention. T visited the Court room. Judge Wright, presiding, looked just like lie was occupying the place for which he was made. The bar was well filled, with about twenty lawyers, with nearly all of vvhijni I was acquainted. Our old friend, Tims. Bullard, acting Clerk, seemed to be in the light place*. But to go buck -1 propose to give a brief history of Fairburn in its earliest days and of its growth and prospects. About forty-five years ago (that is about as far back as I can recollect) Thomas Steal settled at the cross roads, near where Fairburn is now located, lived there a few years and then sold to Jesse Carter,who improved the [dace a little more. Then Mr. Arthur Foster lived on the place a few years, sold to j Halcomb, who kept some whiskey to j sell, (this was customary at public i cross roads in those day s). Halcomb ! sold to Wm. Mcßride, who was living I ini the place when the Railroad was 1 built in 1848. All expected, of course, that the depot would be located at Mc- Bride’s. Accordingly the people com menced building a town. Several small buildings were put up. In the course of the next year, 1849, the Rail road directors located the d< pot where it now stands. The buildings at the old cross roads were torn down and moved to Fairburn. Some very nice store houses and dwellings were soon put up. Then Fairburn seemed to be on a stand still for several years. Thus it remained till 1870, when the citizens, | by petition, succeeded in getting the | Legislature to nn.kc anew county, bearing the name of Douglass, by cut ' ting ( -11 a part of Fayette and Gamp - | bell counties, leaving Campbell in such i a shape as to make Fairburn near the | centre or at least the most convenient | place for the Court house, and by a 1 vole of the citizens of the Court house j was accordingly located at Fairburn. j Anew and splendid court house will soon he completed—probably by the next term of the Superior Court. L aii hum now has six dry good stores, five gi(retries, a drug store, a masonic ! hail, two good churches, a lively and | prospering Sabbath school, a good lit j er.'i'v school,under the superjutendtnice of Professors J. G. Lister and EL C. Mobley; a printing office, issuing week ' ly the important news from different ! parts of the world; a well furnished ; hotel, kept by Mrs. K McLarin, widow ol my old friend and acquaintance, Win. IT. McLarin, always ready to accommodate all who will favor her with a call. Fairburn is destined to be one of the best business and most pleasant towns on the Atlanta it West Point Railroad {NO. 1. —being located on the dividing ridge between Chattahoochee and Flint rivers,,in a healthy region, surrounded iV-itli .\good fanning country.

Tiny remained tboie until dinner time,and in the evening lelurned to their pun gang. Tim overseer ordered them back to the former place, arid when they re fused to go he directed them to leave the field. At this the entire gang took up their hoes, and started tor their quarters.- Mr. Davidson, on driving down to the place, met a party of them on their way to the city. Their interpreter stated that they were coming here to make some pm ehas.es, hut on their ui rival a formal complaint was entered of viola tion of contract. They contended that the English translation of their contract dilfeis bom the original. Since their first arrival we hear that they have been very exacting, and that manyof their demands have been almost frivolous.— On one occasion they demanded that their lire,wood should,.be brought to the door, and ut another ium- asked to have water hauled for their especial benefit. Superintendent Badger informed them, we hear, that this was no place for va grants, and that unless they went to work somewhere they would be arres ted. We thought John didn’t know how to “ sli ike,” and wouldn’t if he knew how. We suspect lie is learning, with much that is useful in this country, a great deal that is exactly the reverse.
