The prospect for war in Europe,
is at present, quite promising.
Trince Bismark is evidently con¬
siderably stirr ed up.
It is rumored that Secretary of
State. Thus. F. Bayard, is soon
to he married to a young lady of
one of the first families in Virginia.
Governor Bob Taylor, of Ten
nessee has appointed his eldest
brother as his private secretary.
These two are the only democrats
in the Taylor family.
Judge Jno. D. Stewart, Congress¬
man-elect from 5th district to the
fiftieth Congress, has been in Wash¬
ington for the past week. The
Judge will take his seat in March.
After a long an tedious contest
the Ordinary of Oconee county’ has
declared that the prohibitionists
won the contest of Inst, March, and
the new law will take effect next
March. This puts another one to
the long list of dry counties in
Georgia
The committc have reported ad¬
versely on the senate bill gtanting
the widow of General Logan a pen¬
sion. This business of granting
pensions to the widows of distin¬
guished military men, while the
widows of private soldiers, many
times more needy have to go with¬
out th n m, is establishing a bad
precedent, and we are glad to know
that this timely check has boon
put upon it..
PRICE OF LEGISLATION.
“It is ascertained at the State
treasury that the pay roll of the
last legislature amounts to sixty
two thousand three hundred and
nine dollars and thirty-three cents,
for the fifty days they were at work.
This sum amounts, it is said, to
about eight thousand more than
has ever before been required to
meet the expenses of a winter ses¬
sion, and amounts as a glance will
disclose to something ever twelve
hundred a day. The prospects
seem to he that the coming sum¬
mer session will cost near double
the sum. The session of the sum¬
mer of eighty-five continued one
hundred days, and neither the win¬
ter proceeding that or any other
summer session has seen the gen¬
eral assembly adjourn with more
business on hand than was left over
from last session to he disposed of
next Julv.”
This state of affairs i s an outrage
upon the civilization of the state.
When we look around us and see
with how much less expence some
of our sister states legislate, we aro
led to blush at Georgia’s general
assembly’ and are forced to rebel
against such enormous expendi¬
tures for which we do not get value
received. Still some of the mem¬
bers claim that it is impossible to
get through in less time. How
strange it is that Georgia requires
ao much legislation ! If it was not
for the false ideas that, “l must in¬
troduce something that will insure
me another term, and distinguish
myself here,” which possesses so
many legislators brains, there
would he kss foolish measures in
i oduced, and consequently less ex¬
pense. If all could but realize that
proper voting is the way’ to do the
great masses good, a great deal less
time would l>e consumed. The
foolish measures that do nobody
go - I. is what we raise our voice
•tg inst.
Just mark our prediction. The
tax payers of this state are not go¬
ing to stand this outrageous
sition much longer. And who can
blame them? Who could blame
them for rising un cu mass® -
openly condemning those gas-bag
legislators who take up so much
time in speaking and
over something that nobody listens
to or cares about?
The taxation for legislating and
other purposes is becoming 0 most
mercilessly grinding ° on the com
men people. Then why not

which we take great pleasure in
producing. It is from the pen o.
Mr Dixon, a highly intelligent and
cultivated young gentleman, of Ox¬
ford, who spent the holidays with
us. It a notable fact that to the
well-behaved the hospitality of Con¬
yers is unsurpassed by any Geor¬
gia town. On the other hand, the
fact is equally as prominent, and
very well impressed on some, that
our people, though generous and
kind, will not allow slurring in¬
sults thrown into their faces by a
crowd of college swells. We be¬
lieve that if the young gentlemen
of Oxford would imbibe the spirit
of the following article, that the
former bad feeling which has ex
histod between these two sister
cities would be thoroughly eradi¬
cated, and a genuine feeling of
brotherly love would spring up in
the place thereof.
Our people stand ready to treat
everyone well, who has the self re¬
spect to regard the feelings of his
fellow man.
“Deprived of the pleasure of
spending Christmas at home, I was
anticipating a dull Jtime, But in
this anticipation I was agreeably
disappointed. At the invitation of
our genial friend, John Travis, I
determined to spend the holidays
in Conyers; not however, until I
had extracted from him a promise
that I should not be egged (exter¬
nally of course.) In addition to the
desire of having a pleasant time,
curiosity to see a town so rich in
eggs, that it can make the Emory
boys gratuitous contributions of
that species of food, moved me to
accept the invitation.
Having never suffered at the
hands of the Conyers boys, I was
not prejudiced against the little city.
Even if there had been prejudices,
they would have beat a retreat
before the generosity of her citizens.
Domiciled under the hospitable
roof of Dr. Travis, whose estimable
wife joined him in making us feel
at home, and thus’opening the way
for the better enjoyment of all, and
escorted around the city by the in¬
imitable John, what excuse could
I possibly have for not enjoying
myself?
The good effects of a prohibitory
law were to bo seen on all sides.
Although the town was “turned
loose” on Christmas Day, and as a
natua.il consequence the streets
were thronged with’thoso who, on
such occasions, take pleasure in
giving an outward and no very quiet
expression of their feelings, yet so¬
berness prevailed—liquor was al¬
most conspicuous for its absence.
At a quarterly mass meeting of the
various Sunday schools on Sunday
afternoon, I was struck with the
large attendance and the interest
manifested in Sunday school work.
The Conyers people seem to be a
Sunday school going people, I
should not he doing the town jus¬
tice did I not refer to the number
of a‘tractive, intelligent and en
tertaining young ladies it affords.
Ot these it was my pleasure to
meet several., who added no little
to mv enjoyment, *’ and whose kind
* *
lies I snail not soon iorget.
I left Conyers feeling that it 1 had i
been “good to he there,” and car
tying with me the firm conviction
tiiat if the Emory boys would visit
the town and partake . of r the 1 i hospt
tali tv of her people, they* could no
*
, longer feel . . disposed .. , to , .
raise a cer
tain not-to-be-mentioned cry when
passing through in crowds, or to
