Some men cannot bo satisfied with

often make themselves obnoxious bv

Cleveland could bo made ouo of the
most dciightfai summer resorts in North
East Georgia, if we would make pre¬
paration for the accommodation of
persons seeking pleasant and comforta¬
ble quarters through tho hot summer
months, our beautiful and healthy
mountain town would 1 e full every year.
A great many people do not like to
travel in carriages, buggies and wagons,
and therefore a want of conveyance
seems to be a great draw back. We
needa rail road, which is about the only
thing that will give us people arid mon¬
ey, and this is just what we need as a
connecting link to the buisy thriving
world.

Blairsville Ga , May 31. i860.
Mr. Editor: The announcement was
made last Wednesday morning that
Hon. Hiram P. Bell would address our
citizens at 12. m,, on the political issues
of the day. We did not get to hear
the whole speech, but neard enough to
satisfy us tin t his head was level on the
subject. We were present long enough
to get a correct definition of the princK
pies of the democratic and republican
parties—a sketch of their work and
history for the last sixteen years. We
feel encouraged to fight with more vig¬
or, the battles of democracy and right.
Col. Bell is justly very popular in the
mountain country. Ho has always beer,
true? to his party and true to his coun¬
try. i lis devotednesa to his native land
was proven iaii-Vn-He mi many a bloody battio
fteid of mir was se¬
verely wounded at Baker’s Creek, while
gallantly fighting for Southern rights.
Alter the close of the war, his party
called him to represent them in Con¬
gress, to whicli call he responded, by
raising from Southern ashes the (lag of
democracy—waving it high in the air
inscribing for its motto, truth, justice
and liberty—aiding heueflcally in gain¬
ing a complete victory over Republi¬
cans, Carpet baggers and scalawaggers.
The following summons was written
by a Justice of the peace: “Mr. I). and
wife, you are hereby commanded to lie
and appear at Blalrsvillo on the 24th
inst. as a w itness for the State against L.
S, herein fail not under penalty of the
law and the gospel, so help you God-’’
Signed who
It is very nice to call a man Pa
takes in"candidates, keeps them over
night, and sends them next morning on
their way rejoicing, without any hill to
pay, Jaco possesses just such a 1’a.
A few years ago a certain gentleman
was out trying to persuade men to vote
for him that he might be elected Tax
receiver of a certain county. Night
found him at the home of Jaco, where
ho a*-ked permission to spend the night,
which of course was granted. Jaqo
fed his horse night and morning —treat¬
ed him with as much civility as his
knowledge aodcapabilities would allow,
and sent him off without cost. The
office-seeker left many kind wishes be¬
hind, and fond hopes that the wheels of
time would roll around an opportunity
to return the favor. This same man
came to Choestoe campmeeting, and
spent some time with the same host,
and on leaviug, expressed gratification
at the thought of some time having the
pleasure of accommodating this family.
Weil, you know the wheels of time are
continually rolling, and have been for
the last six thousand years. The other
day,Jaco had heed of a horse to ride
out a few miles. Seeing the ex candi¬
date near by, thinking of the past, he
approached the gent, and kindly asked
permission to ride his horse a. few miles,
proposing at the same time to pay him
until his heart was content. But the
ex-office seeker replied; “I say pay
take him along and perfectly welcome.
I wish no remuneration for lending my
horse to you.’' So Jaco mounted the
hoise—rode out, and soon returned—
expressed his thanks to the owner fur
the favor conferred, to which be receiv¬
ed a drawling welcome. And when the
blazing orb of day was hidden from
view behind the hills of the western
horizon, ho came to Jaco and said. “I
hope you will not think me inconsistent
if I ask you to help me pay my hotel
bill for tiie use of my horse to day.”

Mr. Editor: At this writing everything
seems to be gloomy on our side 1 f the
mountain. Our farmers have been eon
stantly thrown back, with their work
by the steady falling rain. Wheat crops
are only tolerable, owing to the early
rust. The present crop of. corn is con¬
siderably damaged by the worms. Va>
rious opinions have, been expressed as
to what create;; these worms. 1 think
on account of the unusual warm inter
that the eggs were not frozen, and con-
scquectly very near all of them - ero
hatched. Many farmers have planted
tbeir crops over, and is’ill they find the
worm working on the corn. Wo are
fearful the present crop will fab
considerably below last years’ yield.
Our revenue inemis aro still with us.
They frequently make raids up to Cho
goo, and sometimes to L'ooj/oo, bnt more
frequently they want a Chotjooian ; and
wlieu they arrest one they allow him
the privilege of going to jaii and getting
out by making a bond of two thousand
and one hundred dollars, and. eware
him never to drink another drop uuicss
ho can get it. These revem’.-. s frequent¬
ly go off on a general raid, and when
they return back, report that they
found twenty gallons of whiskey, and
two or three stills, but when they are
called upon to give in their teswraony,
some say seven gallons, others ten, &e.,
but no still, just u lew old dry tubs.
I am fearful these lovonua men will
catch cold in their aparakmes, lying on
the cold damp ground looking for those
who are gone. Bj ca.rom.1 gentlemen,
or you will take the zook*, if,a is an
offell bid -ese\ my old eat took it one
day and she died before she could walk
backward.
As.Ever, JOHN CLARIv
Pleased with Ills isentcotfr.
The punishrueut of death it is often
asserted, has but little terror for the
hardened criminal, who usually prefers
ending his life on the gallows to a lin¬
gering existence within the walls of
a prison. By criminals, however, who
are not hardened, hanging is viewed
witli repugnance, and some striking
evidence on this poiut is affined by a
scene which took -place in the Sheriff
Court of Dundee Scotland -A deaf
and dumb man was charged with an
assalt on his aunt, whom he -.slightly
wounded in the neck with a knjio that
he snatched from a table in, a fit ol
passion, The substance of the evidence
having been interpreted to him he ad¬
mitted its truth, but would not plead
guilty. His doggedness, in \v^ascer¬ persisting
in liis innocence arose, it
tained,-irotu the fact th.A
under the impression that he w.'ts boiDg
tried for murder, and was sure to be
hanged, '[’tie Sheriff found the charge
proven,, and passed a sentence of-thirty
days, imprisonment. Ou tbo sentence
being communicated to the prisoner
by means of the finger aiphtbet, he
could not at first realize the fact that
he was not going to be hanged after all;
but on being assured by the interpreter
that his life k would be spared, his .joy
knew no bounds. Leaping to his.feet,
his face radiant with Relight, ho danced
iu the dock, kissed his hand several
times in rapid succession to the Sheriff,
insisted on shaking hands with the in¬
terpreter, and was led out cutting the
most grotesque capers as au expression
of bis intense happiness.
Lagrange Reporter Gen. Gordon’s
resignation causes wide-snreacl regret
throughout the state. Nay, more;
expressions of the deepest regret come
from all the Southern states, and from
many in the North- Even the Radical
papers speak of him in terms of high
praise. He is the most popular man
in the South and unquestionably the
most useful public nun.
The appointment of his succes’or
gives very great dissatisfaction. He is
not considered a represent,'u.ffio man.
Ever since the war he has been looked
upon us an alien, althrough it is a fact
that he has voted with the Democrats
ever since 13G3, in every election na¬
tional, state aud local. ’ He select¬
was
ed, as a Democrat by tho democratic
executive committee of the United
States, to go to Florida in 1376 and see
that that state had a “fair count,” He
took an active interest in the Senatorial
election in 1S77 and contributed no lit
tie toStho success of Hod. B- H. Hill.
It is agreed by all that there is r.o man
who could more ably represent, Georgia.
When it comes to ability every one is
willing to put hiru in the front rank,
whale many put him in tho lead.
A store was broken into ons night,
but strange to say nothing was carrion
off'. The proprietor was making his
boget of it at tho same time expressing
his surprise at losing nothing.
’’Not at all surprising," said one of
his rivals. “The robbers lighted a
lamp, didn’t they?’
. “Yes.' was tbo reply.
“Well,’ continued t!;- 1 Tival “tney
found your goods marked up so high
they couldn't afford to take them ”
