FOR CONGRESS 7th DISTRICT i
Judson C. Clements.
Os Walker County.
Dr. Felton according to his record
and votes in Congress, is in favor
of cheap whiskey, and high priced
iron, and everything that is made
of iron; this is what we call politi
cal economy in a horn.
The Calhoun Times thus solilo
quizes; Our cup of joy will be full
to overflowing when we see Han
cock innugrated, Joe Brown take
his seat in tho senate, Colquitt
again fill the executive chair, and
Judson Clements sent to Congress.
A very lamentable affair ocecur- ,
red at the Rack Mills Association, ]
which was held in the vicinity of |
Rock Mills, Polk county, on Sun- t
day of Inst week. A Mr. Pickens v
got into a difficulty with a Mr. I)a- t
vis and fatally stabbed him. The
wounded mail lived only a few j
hours. The West Point Press re
ports the above, but has not heard t
the particulars of the occurence.
The Calhoun Times says: Col. 1
Judson Clements is still canvassing I
the district with wonderful success. 1
The people are pleased with his |
gentlemanly demeanor, sound, win- s
ning logic and pursuasive elegance, s
Dr. Felton has already learned that s
the wiggling of the "lizzard tail" I:
was not in vain, as it will prove an
omen of triumph over independen- v
tisui. The people feel that the t
Doctor has served them long !
enough, and that some little talent c
exists in the Seventh district out- j
side of Bartow county. o
The election is going on to-day | *
(.Wednesday) as we go to press, .
ami we are glad that to-day closes
one of the vnost bitter and exciting
campaigns that Georgia has ever !
ever witnessed. We havo not tak- f
en a great deal of stock in i 1
paign, we have given Governor Col- ! '
quitt a reasonable support in the ' *
the columns of the Messenger, ho 1
has had our sympathies, our pray- j 1
ers, and our votes, and if elected 1
we shall rejoice in the fact that we
have a Governor, who in all things
is good and pure, and the equal of ;
any it. this broad land.
The farmer can tan his own lea
ther and make his own shoes. He i
can raise his own cotton and grow j
his own wool to make his own
clothing. He can raise his own
meal and bread ; but lie cannot
make his own iron. He is obliged
to buy his iron in every form and
shape. If he wants a horse shoe, ;
nails of any kind, tacks, plows,
hoe», rakes, trace-chains, wagon
tires, horse-powers, a saw, a ham
mer, an axe, a froe, a hatclul, gin
gearing, knives, forks, a stove, a
skillet an a pot, in fact any ol
a thousand and one tilings made of
iron every family is obliged to have,
he is compelled to pay a higher
price than it is worth because of
tlie tariff. Yet Dr. Felton is the
open and avowed advocate of a pro
tective lariti on iron. He takes the
side of tho monopolists aguin»t the
common people, and that is the ,
sort of a farmer’s friend Felton is.
Home Courier.
Col. Clements at Home.
The Hon. J. C. Clements, came
home on lust Saturday, to spend a
day or two in transacting some im
portant business, and being strong
ly solicited to make a speech while
hero, ho consented to do so on last
Monday. A very largo crowd of
I our very best citizens, and nearly
: all ihe ladies of the place, enmoout
to hear him.
As everybody has, or will have
I an opportunity to hear Col. Clem
cnlß during the campaign, we will
not attempt even a synopsis of his
speech here, which was one of the
j finest wo have ever heard. It was
) exalted in statesmanship ; deep in
feeling; lofty in eloquence; con
vincing iti logic and reason ; re
freshing in style, and in tone as
sweet as honey.
Mr. Clements speeches through
this district, will outlive the strifes
of this political carnpuigu, and will
he remembered when the triumphs
of its grand issues are forgotten.—
Mr. Clements left tho stand amid
a shower of bouquets.
NEIGHBORHOOD .VOTES.

Dalton Citizen: A protracted
’ meeting has heen in progress ut the
First Methodist Church the preeetl
. iug week.
Dalton Citizen: Dp to date more
cotton has been marketed here than
r Dalton received in *t whole season
ten years ago.

ton crop down the Selma, Rome

ously damaged by rust and worms.
Rome Courier: Starling Berry,
an old colored man in tho lower
endNof this county, has an old rifie
which, ho says, is the gun "which
killed Gen. Ferguson ut the buttle
■ of Kings’ Mountain.”
Romo Tribune: Col Samuel is
■ confident of the completion of the
Rome and Chattanooga Railroad in
the near future Rome certainly
needs this road, and our merchants
should do all in their power to have
it pushed to u rapid completion. ,
Tilton correspondent Dolton Citi
zen, says : The Hon. J. C. Clemehts
spoke here last Wednes/,»y night
to n crowded house. 11 is respectful
manner, profound logic and practi
cal good sense, won him several new
friends and the admiration ofnll.
Knoxville Tribune: A young at- i
torney got up in the Court-house .
with $329 chalked on his hack yes- i
terduy and began a speech intended
to he humorous. The uud'ence
laughed at him all tho while, and
elated with success, he spoke until
three of tho jury starved to death.
Rome Courier: Mr. B. S. Har
bour showed us yesterday an open
boll of cotton grown on n stalk of
last years’ growth. The seed was
planted in April, 1879, and this
stalk with several others, was left
standing and marked, as they were ,
sprouting at tho time the land was -
being plowed. <
The Calhoun Times says : “Ase- '
vere wind and rain fterm passed 1
through the lower end of Gordon 1
county Monday night, blowing 1
down trees and taking the roofs off 1
of several houses and doing consid- 1
erable damage to the corn fields *
and cotton crops that were within r
its reach. No persons bruised, 1
crippled,or killed.”
Chattanooga 'limes: A very un- |
! fortunate difficulty occured at Stra- (
ta, Ala., near Decatur, Thursday,
which resulted fatally. Dr. Cham- ,
1 hers and Mr. Brown, the village t
blacksmith, both well known and I
respected citizens, had a dispute to ‘
1 the settlement of an account, and 1
the dir mite led to a collision, in
which .-’.r. Brown was shot and
killed by Dr. Chambers.
Calhoun lines: Quite a novel
marriage occurred near Reeves’sta
tion last Sunday Mr. Willie Abbott
was on his way to preaching at the
station and had with him in the
buggy Miss Belle Armstrong. They
, drove up to the Parson Reeves’
I house, called him to the gate and'
I were made man and wife. They
tbeu went on to church as though j
nothing had huppened. We wish |
them success.
Marietta Journal: For four years
i the track of a large snake has been
it seen around the house of Mr. Per
il ter Griggs, at Lost mountain. One

). | attacked Ihe fowls in the yard. Mr.
r Griggs 6hot him with his gun, his

e and Mrs. Griggs pitchforked him to
- the ground. The snake fought
e hrjvely, and yielded only when the
e combined forces arrayed against
e : him, overpowered and slaughtered
i. him. He was a rattlesnake, and
! measured 4 feet in length, had 11
rattles, teeth 1 inch long, and ins
head was 3 inches across the eyes
He is done eating chickens. In
three years, in 100 yards of his
house, Mr. Griggs has k : llrd 117
moccasins, 1 horned snake, 1 rattle
! snake, and one of unknown species
r lie thinks ho has about got them
killed out.

ever been discovered. It can be
used full strength at all seasons of
the year with perfect safety. Read
