ode cent of cost, and for your own inter
ests, we beg you to come and settle, or

Many thanks to our fellow-townsman,
Dr, Win. A. Carswell, for an interesting
communication, which appears in to-day's

examination and address them on the sub
ject of education, on the 24th inst. While
we acknowledge the honor, we regret to

Agricultural Convention.
Our delegates have returned, but we
have as yet been unable to learn wbat was
done, except that the next meeting is to
be held at Brunswick. Quitman was first
mentioned for next meeting, and wns elec
ted. Our delegates, Col. W. B. Bennett,
and Capt. E. T. Davis, of Thomasville,
advocated the claims of Quitman with
marked ability, ami as orators distinguish
ed themselves. But thero wns a motion
to reconsider, that Brunswick might be
put in nomination, as some of the up
country delegates have a wanderful hank
ering for salt water and its creatures, so
our friend Bennett—upon the subject of
fiddlers, shrimps and crabbs, utterly extin
guished himself—voted for the reconsider
ation, and finally for Brunswick ; so the
next meeting will be at Htunswick. They
will have a rich time eating crabbs in Feb
rtmry.
PS. Rust- Bali.
The “Socials” of this city played their
third match game of hose ball od
yesterday afternoon with the "Amateurs,”
of Madison, Flu,, assisted by Mr. C. Smith,
of the Jeff erson B. B. C., on the grounds
of the former. The game was com
menced at about 3 o’clock, and lasted
probably three hours, resulting in a vic
tory for the “Socials” by a score of 18 to
10.
This was decidedly the finest game ever
played in this section, being unusually
close and spirited, aDd the “Socials” may
well feel proud of their achievement.
Eight “white-washes” were made, five
against the Madison boysand three against
the “Socials.”
Quite a large and enthusiastic crowd
were out to witness the game.
The Madison boys returned home last
evening after expressing themselves well
pleased with their visit.
Mr. Beno Kayton umpired the game
and gave perfect satisfaction to both sides.
We would like to give a more extended
account of the game, and regret that we
have not time to do so. Finlayson and
Mabbet did the best playing for the “So
cials,” and Smith and Thomas for the
“Amateurs. “ Everything passed off very
pleasantly.
Senator Norwood, of Georgia, in his re
cent address at Emory College, made some
interesting points. Among them wore
;these: “While emancipation diminished
pur wealth, it increased our political pow
jar. Negroes vote for men and not meas
ures, and their 800,000 votes will be added
to ours. The negro is gravitating toward
f Ufb' The people of the north will soon
tise and demand a surrender of the elec-
colonization. ”
