We can find no resident of Wal ker county who has heard anything of the wife swapping, an account of which was published in a Chatta nooga paper, and extensively cop ied. We thought at the time it was a libel upon the fair fame of the! county, and therefore would not ! publish it. — Summerville Gazette. Yes, sir, a lie cut oujt of whole i cloth, and we would stated when we first saw it; but we did not suppose that any body in the world, would be fool enough to cred it it. People who desire the news j from this county, will find every item of any importance faithfully chronicled in the columns of the Messenger. Legal Notice. Notice is hereby given that at the next session of the General Assem bly, beginning on the first Wednes day in November next, application j will be made for the passage of n bill to repeal so much of an act re lating to the Co i mon School Sys tem in the county of Walker, State of Georgia, and for other purposes.

I like your paper. It is newsy, but it foils to rejoice in the Republican victory won in the gieat West. Old it was your time to rejoice and squint eves when Colquitt wall ed over with 50,000 niiij"rity. But. we’ve got the laugh mi you now; and I verilv believe voo have forgot rl.nt an election was ever held in Georgia. But you must wake up and make ready for our little rejoicing when Judson Clements is elected. We are a unit on his election, ar.d we will have a common ca> se ot rejoiceing and jol lification. It makes no matter if I am a Republican, I have a right to choose between two Democrats; and l don’t see any reason for going against our coun tv man. He made us a good and faithful representa | tive in the legislature. He voted to tax all men alike. His vote was not bought then by capitalists. It ’ cannot be bought in the future. — My cup of joy will be heaped up | and running over ; hut yours will have a big lump of sorrow in it — Hancock’s defeat. S. K. No, sir, we are not feeling a bit good over the result in Indiana. \\ e did rejoice over the Gubernatorial | contest in Georgia arid Maine. It |is your time to rejoice now. But ; remember the elections this year are the queerest things out; so don’t ! you be ton sanguine over Mr. Gar l field’s prospects for the White ! House. It is our time next on that I line. But then we are all together jin the common cause at home; I thftnk God for that, and after the 2nd of November, we will all re joice and be happy together, ever j the triumphant election of the Hon. I J. C. Clements. Lookout Mount aiu Letter. Editor Messenger : Wry little news for you this week.
