DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
A meeting was held at the Court
bouse, on Monday last, lor the purpose
of selecting delegates to the Milledrib
vi’.le Convention. We were more than
gratified that so many were present, on I
such short notice, which shows that the )
Bemocraoy cl ltookdalo are awako to j
the impor’auce of prompt and 1,armor.;-. I
ons action‘to insure democratic sucess by
electing a representative man to Congress. the!
The greatest harmony prevailed in
meeting, all seemingly lelt the importance
o t the unity of action. The appointment
•of delegates, which resulted in the selec¬
tion of Messrs. T. C. Swan aud Col. Jas
M. White, both gentlemen of firmness
and sound diserc; sion, we feel assured
that our county will be well represented
in the Convention, and that the wishes
of the pe6ple will be carried out in the
se'eclion of a suitable candidate the 6th
district in the 40th Congress. The meet
ing reposed such confidence in the dele¬
gates that they are left lree to exercise
their own judgment, as to the man they
may select to give their support. Of
course, if a man is presented from U is
end ot the district, who, in their judg~
merit, is worthy of the position of stand¬
ard bearer, they are instructed to cast
the vote of Rockdale for him. Other
wise, they, are at liberty to cast the vote
ot the county for the most available
man who may be presented from any
other section of the district.
The Democracy of Rockdale are rn
favor of'a straight out nomination, and
when the.standard-bearer is announced,
will give, him the undivided support of
the party.
Monuments to Presidents.— An ap¬
propriation cf five thousand dollars was
made at the last session of Congvess to
provide for the erection of a suitable
monument oyer the grave ol Thomas
Jefferson at Monticello. It was stipula¬
ted that prior to the erection ol the mon¬
ument the owner of Monticello should con¬
vey to the United Slates two rods square
of the land surrounding and including the
grave, with right to the people ol the
United States ol free access thereto. The
conditions have been complied with, and
thb monument will be erected in con¬
formity with tho designs prepared by
Jefferson himself.
Returning the Old Members.—I n the
one hundred and forty Congressional
districts almost one-lialf of the whole
number, iu which nominations have been
made, two hunbred aud twelve persons
have been put tor ward as candidates for
clectiou, # of whom only fifty-seven are old
members. Of these thirtystwo are Re¬
publicans and twenty stive are Demorats.
This shows pretty conclusively that the
next House ot Representatives will be
mainly composed ot new members.
Wit.— There is no more inseresting
spectacle than to see the effects ot wit
upon tho different characters of men;
than to observe it expanding caution, re¬
laxing dignity, unfreezing colducss—
teaching rge and care and pain 1 to smile
—extorting reluctant gleam of pain from
melaucholy, aud charming even the pangs
of grief, li is pkaant to observe how it
penetrates through the coldness and awk*
waiduess ot society, gradually bringing
men nearer together, and like combined
force ot oil and wine, giving each man a
glad heart and a shining countenance.
Genuine and innocent wit, like tins, is
surely the flavor ot the mind ! Man could
direct bis ways by plain reason, and sup¬
port his ways by tasteless food ; but God
has given us wit, and brightness, and
perfumes to enlivan the days ot man’s
pilgrimage and to ‘‘ebaim his pained
steps over the burning marie.”
New York, Aug. 26.— A Vicksburg
special says there is no abatituent in fe¬
ver here. It is still raging and spreading
over the city. The number ot new eases
for the last twenty-four boms is eighty
five. Another calamity has befallen the
city in the stoppage ot mail trains on our
ouly railroad through the strictness oithe
semi-military quarantine at Jackson,
Miss. It must be removed, as food*
ludicines and contributions seut by our
sympathising friends can not reach us.
Is it possible, we are to be hemmed iu
and the United Stales mail slopped, giv¬
ing Banks no facilities for the transmis¬
sion ot contributions that supply living
comfort f
Coopkr&tovn. N. Y., Aug. 26.—A
man said to bo Cliasoy Fuller, lumber
merchant, of Middletown, was tracked
here by his wife 3 esterday morning. She
found him in company with a woman,
whom, it is a.leged, is Mrs. Clark, wife
of a well-known New York merchant.
The injured woman drew a pistol, 1 * and
made it lively for the other parlies, but
she kindly refrained lrom shooting them.
She proposes to have her husband ares
‘ed.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
Conyers, Ga. Aug. 2G, 1878.
At a call meeting held at’ the Court
House at the instance of the Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Committee
of Rockda’e county, for the purpose of
sending delegates to Milledgeville, Ga„
to nominate a candidate for Congress
from this, the Sixth District, the follows
ing gentlemen were chosen by ballot—
T. C. Swan and J. M. White.
A motion was made and carried, that
they go uninstructed, but after some dis
cussion the action was reconsidered, and
'he following instructions, by an almost
unanimous vote, were given, to wit;
That our delegates put in nomination,
»t any time they see proper, a man from
this end of the District, and the prefer
ence of this body is a suitable man from
Rockdale ‘county.
The o',her business before the body

utive Committee for this county. The

A fight between Revenue Agents and
illicit distillers occurred on Friday in the

in the killing of several moonshiners and
the wounding of two Agents,
One of the unalterable edicts of the
great Law giver is the law of labor, viz :
That mans bread must be the product of
his own labor. ‘In the sweat ol thy face
shalt thou eat bread all the days of thy
life." No man, or set of men may hope
for exemption from the laws of labor by
any development of science or the in¬
ventions of man.
A well digger of Columbus a few days
since went in the country to clean out
an old well, and he found it about one
quarter filled with guano. It is thought
some thieves had stolen the guano, and
being closely pursued, had secreted it in
tho well.
A negro boy named Moses Hoge, of
Houston county, was scared into craziness
lie was perfectly sane until a man drew a
knife on him. lie was frightened very
badly, and was immediately seized with
nervous excitement. Since Sunday last
he has been a raving maniac, utterly un
mauagable except by by force.
The Commissary General, by direction
of Secretary McCrary, on Saturday order>
ed that five thousand rations be sent to
Grenada for the yellow fever sufferers.
He had previously ordered forty thou
sand rations to be issued to Memphis,
Pre-eminent
As an elegant hair dressing stands Parker’s
Hair Balsam, deservedly popular for the beau¬
tiful hair it produce;-;, and its healthfal cleans¬
ing and healing properties. Commencing at
the roots, it promotes a luxuriant growth of
ycung hair, and unfailinglj restores gray or
faded hair to its original youthful color, giving
a soft, rich and lustrous appearance of great
beauty. It is pleasantly cooling to the scalp,
cleanses it from Dandruff, cures itching and
humors, and stops falling of the hair. It is
perfectly harmless, exquisitely perfumed, nev¬
er soils the skin or gums the hair, and pleases
everybody by its many excellent and attract¬
ive qualities. Buy a bottle from your drug¬
gist, Ayers & Co., and test its merits, july 3m
“Habit” is hard to overcome. If you
take of the first letter it does not change
‘a bit-’ If you take of another, you still
have a ‘bit’ left. If you take off still an
other, the whole of ‘it’ remains. If you
take off another, it is not ‘t’ totally used
up. AH of which goes to show that if
you wish to get rid of a -habit’ you must
throw it off altogether.
Cleveland, Aug. 26.—Hattie Gray,
aged nineteen years, daughter of a weal¬
thy tanner in Middleburg Township,
committed suicide by shooting herself
yesterday morning. Iler father refused
his consent to her marriage with a young
man named Richens, employed ou the
farm, so she went to Richens, room, took
his pistol from a drawer and shot her¬
self.
There is rumor from Washington to
the effect that Kenneth Ru\nor, the
reBerable Solicitor of the Treasury, will
be retired at an early day. His opinion
that gold, taken from Southern banks
during the war, should be returned, is
given as the provocation for his removal.
Senator Bayard is represented in a
Delaware paper as saying that the de*>
mand for the abolition of the national
banks, like the war against railroads aud
labor saving machines, has its origin in
Communism,the tendency cf which is
destruction, sure and inevitable.
It is said that the nomination of Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston ter Congress will be
defeated in the Richmond district of
Virginia on the ground that he is oppos¬
ed to the rcductiun of the army.
Idleness is the mother of vice, and a
boy who is allowed to grow up m idle¬
ness is pretty sure to be a vicious man.
The parents of such boys have a fearful
responsibility resting upGii them, when
they let their sous run about late hours
of the night instead of keeping them at
home reading good newspapers and
books, and training them into moral hab
ts so as to become respectable men in¬
stead of idlers, rum drinkers, gamblers
aud , , loaders, „ which , • . • , i be the
IS SUie to case
with the utoht runners and day idlers,
then the responsibilities is increased, , j
Give the boys plenty to do, and you will
preserve their morals. Better a tired boy
than a vitiated mind.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS.
The success of the leading literary paper of
the West, The Chichago Ledger, is truly re¬
markable. Since its introduction to'.the read¬
ing public, six years ago, The Ledger has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now ackowl
edged second to no paper of the kind iu the
country Its circulation is national, aud has
been obtained through the efforts of its pub¬
lishers to produce a paper of high moral char¬
acter, and at the same time sell it at a price
consistent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well, too, the thou
sands of readers of The Ledger scattered from
Maine to Texas and from Oregon to Florida
will bear testimony. The Chicago Ledges is a
large forty-eight column weekly paper, which
contains stories both complete and contiued,
in each number, written by the best authors of
the day, and a great variety of information in¬
teresting t > every one. The subscription price
of The Ledger is only $1.50 per year, postage
paid, and it is equal in every particular to oth¬
er papers of the same character wlich sell for
$3 a year. Three copies of this valuable paper
will be sent to any one sends 10 cents and
