We believe him to be the host man from Georgia and believe he should be returned. We hope the Macon Telegraph will have no objection to supporting Mr. Blunt tor governor, provided that able gentleman decides to run for the position. The Telegraph is too good a paper to barber malice to the det¬ riment of the State. We nover saw such a time as the present. Our office reminds us of the Georgia Legislature There has been more bills introduced here in the last two days than there were in the whole session of the last General Assembly. The people of Georgia should not be slow to recognize the brilliant talents of such men as the Hon. J. C. C. Black of Augusta.

LETT EH i ROM ALBERf\ ILLE Dear Weekly : —If you will al¬ low me space iu your valuable paper, I will write to the many friends who requested me to wile to them from my mountain home. As 1 listen to the patter o! the rain on the roof, my mind runs back to you all, and it seems I owe you each a debt of grati tude for some special act or word of kindness. For you, Mr. Editor and your family, I and my family cherish the kindest feeling and we often speak of the pleasant hours we spent with you while in Conyers. We had a safe trip and arrived at Atlanta the day after we left Conyers, except Mrs. McCord, who was taken sick and I stopped over with Mr. II. D, McMiilan in Atlanta. We had so much sickness during the past year that j wa8 very anxious for all to get home aiid spend a quiet Christmas together. You cau imagine my dis appointment when I found it neces¬ sary to leave her, for she has never failed to make Christmas merry for us all. The children were delighted with the mountain scenery, the boys on the lookout for a deer or wild tur key, the girls selecting sites to build houses where they thought the cyclone could not reach them. We reached Atlanta at 1 o’clock, p m and found Eddy awaiting us with conveyance to take us to our new home which we reached the next day. Our household and kitchen goods did not reach ur> until a week later. We made two long benches, and I hired a workman to make a nice dining table. A kind neighbor gave us the can of an old fashioned -oven, a tea kettle and frying pan, and so we were tolerable well prepared for eating. I guess it looked a little gloomy to the women folks, but they laughed merri¬ ly when the boys prepared to heat up the cooking range as they called it. Any way, we soon had a substantial meal. Just here, let me say to m 3 ' friends in Georgia if 3 ’our appetite has failed, come to Sand Mountain. We eat twice as much as we did there and arc not much troubled about the qnalit)'. The Georgians here all look well, and say they are hearty. Guess it is a healthy coun¬ try. Mrs. McCord camo home the Sab¬ bath before Christmas, and although not well, she managed to have stiring preparations made to enjoy Christ mas. Little Ilella had told the boys Santa couldn’t find the way to the mountain, and she couldn’t live if she did not get a doll, and Lonnie said he did hope to get uotne books, and the others wanted knives, candies and oranges, but when couusin Emcr}' Mann brought in the Christ mas tree and planted it, their fears all gave way, and on Christmas morn¬ ing the tree was loaded with ju~>t what each one wanted. It is worth a great deal to see the little ones so happy. We all gathered around the breakfast table that morning except Tommie, who was still in Georgia at the home of his uncle, G. W. Shaw, of Housedon, better in healtn, but not well enough to be with us. There is no fold howe’r closily tend ed, But one dead lamb is there, There is no fireside how’er safely de¬ fended, chair. But there is one vacant We have had the coldest weather known to the oldest inhabitant on the mountain fr*r twenty.five years. Sieij snow aud rain, but to-day we have a bright sun and snow all gooe. 1 wvuld say to my friends in Geor¬ gia that I think the out look of this country is promising. The people here are kind and hospitable, and the country is building up rapidly, A gentleman from J onesboro came j n yesterday with hands to build houses on lands he has purchased in am i around Albertville, We have a church at Albertville in wUcU both »Le Methodist aaj sio “ iiT ' ror,hip '” l ' icb,how a brotherly love between the two de nominations- Also a good school house aud Masonic lodge. We only need to have the railroad completed to make Albertville a live¬ ly little town, and indeed its citizens will compare favorable with any town in my own native Georgia, I should tell you that we have the tramp here in the shape of a tall able bodied man, who says be came from near Albany, Ga., also there is a troope of Gypsies camped near ua. My letter has grown too long, and I fear I have worried you, so I will close by saying I may write more at some future day, and I ask that you each remember me and m ne is your petitions to the Great Father of us all Vory truly, yours, W. H. McCoKP. AYER’S Cherry Pectoral. No other complaints are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and lunge none so trifled with by the majority of suffer¬ ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex¬ posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal 6iekness. Ayer’s Ciiekry BRciobal ha» well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight with throat and long diseases, and should b* taken in all cases without delay.
