'Thin place wan located as the county ■wtc of old Fayette in 1823, and ttlif- <WH Ao tin; site was written by our well Ikwrwtn friend and much laved fellow ci lin'd,Judge (». Grice,deceased. We notice that Fayetteville does not look aa fresh and lively as it dhi ati rarffeMlum days, .though it will eotn> pa<t' otlmtjspl the Railroad, We notice Some repairs an<f sTimfe in pCogresH- bn I wheir we think of tliolS'Arind hearted people wiitlh wt««u me wet greeted us with a good fashioned heai ty hands Hiiafkitig that made us feel so much like we were at home, and also having been invited to the happy homes of several of the good citizens to share their hospitaliUen, we felt truly glad that we bad paid her a visit, and glad that the Air Line Railroad had been •chartered to run by her, and hope it will not be long before the whistle of the cars can bo heard in her suburbs. The Superior Court was in session during our visit, with Judge W. F. Wright presiding, and dispensing jus tice in his exact and urbane style— giving general satisfaction—trying his best to clean the docket, but signally failed on the criminal from the fact that there were not enough men present to get up a tallis jury to try any criminals. We are much pleased with the Judge. He is none of your stuck up, brief au thority men, nor does he despise the duy of small things, for when Dr. W lllalocks house was on fire he rushed into the moat houso and carried out bacon and worked generally like a trugau. There seemed to bo hot few cases tried; noue important enough to make Miration here. The bar was well rep resented. Cols. Daily, Stewart and Filch, of Griffin; Col. Hugh Buchanan, of Newnan; Col. J. L. Doyal, of Jones boro Some of these gentlemen have arrived at the zenith of age and prac tice while others are young and bid fair to becomo eminent lawyers. The local bar was well represented. Col. M. M. Tidwell, said to be the best versed in criminal jurisprudence in the country. Judge J. L. Blalock uml Col. Q. C. Grice, the latter acting Solicitor Gen eral with firm ability; the former being a good practical worker in having bis cases weU prepared and a zealous speaker; and l-st, but not least, only in stature, R. T. Darsey. This young man has something to do with almost every case called on the docket, and what lie does is done witli such zeal and shilitv we predict that by the time lie reaches the age of 35 years the people of this country will be reminded of another Clay, Calhoun or Webster, or more modnrnly, a Stephens, Toombs or Hill. Wo bad the pleasure of happy greet ings of many of the good, substantial old settlers of Fayette, viz: The Kings, Mcßrides, Denhams, Bennetts, Glasses, Wares, Blalocks, Giaves, Matthews, Whitakeis, Favors, Austins, Smiths, Johnsons, Davises, Redwines, Gays, Edmondsons, Miners, Thorntons, Wil kins, Norths, Ellisons, Yates, Eastons, Clecklors, Mays, and many others, too tedious to mention here. Some of the above named have been living in Fay ette county for fifty or sixty years, and by the by, they now represent one of the best counties to its size in the State. The surface is generally smooth and fertile, with nice running streams of pure water, containing more good swamp land to the same erea than any section we know of in middle Georgia, on the whole making one of the must desirable counties in the State. Society is good; we saw but very few person* intoxicated during the three days we spout there. The Fairborn Skxtixkl obtained 51 subscribers there in three days We intend to go there again at the fall term of the Superior Court and got all the rest of tle.se good people to take it if possible. They are a people that love to sustain home enterprise. Vs Locau f®r The Atlanta Era says the oliior of this paper brags on the re ception of a beautiful boquet from the hands of a charming young lady, and says it doul like to see young sunns sending ganders flowers, but that it is altogether a matter of taste. Os course it is a matter of taste. t?o much so that the fair young ladies never send them to the Era man Dov r Leas Upon Others,—Half, at least, ot the disappointed men one meets with are victims of ill ground hopes and expectations—person* who bave tried to lean upon others instead id ieiying upon themselves. 1 Mr. Joint Itcyiiolilh. We are glad to extend the right haiid«f citizenship to Mr. Reynolds and family, who have recently selected the pleasant'little town of Fairburn as theiVwmie. Mr. Reynolds is a very nice old gen tinman, and a fine ornamental painter he gives us a little historic event con nected with liis early life which is worth relating, lie was born in the State of New York in 1708; his father removed to the city of New York when John was a child. . Jn the year 1807 or 1808, John bad gone to a creek, inthe.su burbs of the city,to fish for minnows •“With his boyish amuse- WAit, -tihiee. gym, strangers to him, dfoye ug y t d %'}'-* ty the jhe creek, took a small boat, S’ of 10 feet long, from.-thu dray and launched it in the creek near by, and asked little John Reynolds, who was then 7 or 8 years old, if he could steer a small boat for them. lie replied in the affirmative, they placed him on the bow of the boat, with the tiller ropes in his hands, with instructions how to guide, and they then put fire in something which he says looked like a large tea-kettle. Soon it began to boil, and the wheels began to turn rouud and move the boat up stream with no other passen ger aboard but little John Reynolds. The two men walked on the bunk and observed the movement of the little craft These two men were Robert Fulton, and his friend, John R. Living ston, who, after Fulton having exhaus ted all his means and convincing him (L.) that lie could accomplish his plan, furnished the money to Fulton to per fect his great discovery of applying sfeuui successfully and safely to ma chinery by the use of the safety valve This was the first experimental trip of the steam boat, which gave to little John Reynolds the distinction of h»v . ing taken the first ride on the waters on a craft propelled by steam as im proved by Robt. Fulton. Since that event, the paddle wheels of time have borne Robert Fulton, John It. Livingston and most other men of their day to the great city of the dead. But the grand results which have fol lowed this little experiment of Robert Fulton have not only moved the pad dlo wheel* of steam boats on every navagable river, sea and ocean, where man has traveled, but it has become a power which has moved the gigantic wheels of the world's commerce, and gave an impulse to the energy of man, the d< velopment of science, and the spread of the gospel, that, is destined to move on witli an increased impetus until time shall cease to roll her pon derous wheels farther. The Savanah News, of Saturday, says: There appears to bo some mystery in this Gould business. We have heard it hinted that the Government officials have been apprised of his movements all along, and that, notwithstanding the fact that the valiant General Ezyzmowski, with considerable blust er and commotion, followed the retreat ing Collector torough a portion of Florida, be gave up the chase, know ing that Gould was before him. In confirmation of this, the Flatka Herald, of the 26th inst., says "Wo learn from a passenger on the Hattie, from Enterprise, that Gould, the late Revenue defaulter of Savau nah is on the Gulf coast in the neigh borhood of Manatee. If this is so, it seems strange that the Supervisor should go to the expense of character ing a steamer at this place, which took his Honor as far as O.litimkie aud back without further investiga tion." llog Cholera and its Remedy. —The Charlotte N. C. Democrat says: a gen tleman who lias been traveling in the Western part of this State informs us that the disease among hogs known as " cholera” lias spread beyond the Blue Ridge and that many hogs have died with it. A fanner in Yadkin county has checked the disease by washing out the mouth and throat of the hog with a strong dcooratiou made from persimmon ba k. He lias not long since used the remedy. A littlu alum added to the decoction gould improve it no doubt. Forty Children. —There is an old man, living in Jefferson county, Geor gia, by the name of Jacob Brown.— He is 87 years old, an active man, and works daily in lira field, following the ■ plow or wielding the hoe. He has been married four times His fourth wife is living, and her youngest child is only six months old He bus forty children, all living. Mr. Brown i-, therefore, the champion father in Geor gia, and is entitled to a pretty large sized belt. —LaGrange Reporter. CuKciJt—The following remedy for cancer is said to be infallible: Take an egg and break it, pour out the wiiite, retain the yolk in the shell; put in salt and mix with the yoik as long as it will receive it; stir tin in to gether until the salve is formed, jut a portion ot it on a sticking plaster, an 1 apply it to the cancer twice a day. i Campbell Sliciifl’s Sales. t VIII.I, be sold, before the Court House door, VY iu the town ot Fairburn.
