Many in the vicinity may not know
some may have forgotten—that out
a mile beyond the village on what
was once known as Beckom’s Mount,
now generally known as Smith's Mt.,
is a grave somewhat fallen into decay,
the marble slab of which bears this in
scription:
Erected by the State of Georgia
to the memory of
—Samuel Beckom—
One of her sons and a soldier
of the Revolutionary War.
Born 24th of November,
. 1760,
Died, 2nd November,
1825.
Generous to a fault,
Warm and devoted in friendship.
Here in a few yards of one of those
deep ravines common to the locality—
amid the swaying pines and the
spreading branches of the dogwood
and the hawthorn and almost hidden
by the tangled briar—far from the
maddening crowd—rest the remains
of one who probably served his day
and generation faithfully—but now
forgotten by the world.
* * * * * *
Speaking of graves, just back from
the village street in the little cemete
ry of Midway, reposes the remains of
one affectienately remembered, even
by many whose locks are still un
flecked with grey. Just inside the
gate, surrounded by a wooden picket
is a grave bearing the name of
Samuel K. Talmage,
a man distinguished in the state for
his learning and piety and whbse
name is entitled to be held in ever
lasting remembrance as it is divinely
asserted that the name of the just
shall be so esteemed. A few hundred
yards away, still resides the noble
widow of the subject of this para
graph. There as retired almost as
monastic life itself, and as an invalid
she spends the evening of her days ex
tending unobstrusively many acts of
charity and kindness to the poor and
unfortunate about her—her life (un-
felt by herself, perchance) is a sweet
perfume to those living near her.
A circus certainly has greater draw-
I ing power than a holiness meeting.
Thursday evening College Avenue
was a scene of more than usual liveli
ness, caused by the return of the ru
ral inhabitants, (white, black and yel
low) to their deserted homes. As the
son of Erin remarked, the road was
full of pedestrians, some on foot, some
on horse-back, wagon-trains a mile
long, cavalcades of mulemen, oxcarts
in a trot, jammed full of women and
children, mules and horses with two
aback, babies, larger children, all col
ors, venerable gray beards, (the lat
ter going only to see the animals.)
Men, women and children—all that
could borrow a half a dollar, went to
see the circus, and all seemed as hap
py as happy could be. Let all go to
work now and by honest toil, lay up
50 rents for the next one, for there is
nothing that delights the soul of the
rural resident so much as a circus,
even if he only sees the procession,
and has to wade through six feet of
dust to see that.
Dr. Jones is something of a sports
man as well as a good doctor. He is
thinning out the partridges fast in
our preserves.
A sober second thought brought a
good many to the conclusion that the
holiness meeting was a good thing af
ter ail. Some “that went to scoff,” so
to speak, “remainedat prayer.” Hear
ing should come before judging, al
ways.
Some people, and some right good
people too, measure success in life by
die amount of money that can be
scraped together in a few years.
Alas!

.Success the mark no mortal wit,
Or surest band can a'ways hit;
For whatsoe'er we perpetrate,
We do but row we are sterned by fate;
Which in success oft disinherits,
For spurious causes noblest merits.

Of great and mighty resolutions,

Events still equal to their worth,

HYMENIAL.
In this city, on Thursday last, at
o’clock p. in., at the residence of the
bride’s mother, Miss Fannie C. Lane,
was united in marriage to Mr. R. E.
Millen of Jasper county. The cere
mony was performed in an impressive
manner by Rev. A. J. Beck in the
presence of a number of relatives and
friends. The attendants were Miss
Dodie Lane and Mr. T. J. Irby of
Flovilla; Miss Gussie Pounds and Mr.
J. D. Lane; Miss Jennie Moore and
Mr. E. B. Skinner. The bridal pres
ents were handsome and numerous.
The happy pair left on the 5 p. m.
train for the home of the groom in
Jasper county. The Union-Record
er unites with many friends in wish
ing them long, happy and useful lives.
It’s strange that the autumn- poets,
who are waiting for the first frost,
don’t tackle this dusty drouth.
Don’t forget to turn out on Tues
day, the 2nd day of November, and
vote for J. H. Blount for Congress.
Revenue Reform—The political fight
in New York is being made chiefly on rev
enue reform. The leading Northwestern
Democrats think that Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, could all be carried on
that issue.
In the past ten days the Lunatic
Asylum has been the Mecca of the
pleasure seekers of Putnam. At
three different times large crowds
have come down to view “ye greatest
charity*’ and made quite a gala day
of it. We take the liberty of extend
ing in behalf of our venerable usher
an invitation for the rest of the world
to come down or up or over and spend
a day or two with him in the enjoy
ment of such innocent pleasure as
the scene affords—but let all bring
their own lunches, &c.
It was rumored that Dr. O’Daniel
whose cheerful countenance is a daily
blessing about Lunaville, contemplates
at an early day a visit to the stricken
city by the sea. He will doubtless
bring back a reliable report as to
whether property has really depreciat
ed there or is worth more than ever.
In any case may he return to as in
safety.
