LETTER EROM TALHOTTON'.
Tal. BUTTON, Ga., May 1, 1877.
Editor Times: Since our 4 last, little has
transpired in tho county that would inter
est the general reader. During this in
terval much corn has been planted, of
which good "stands" have been secured,
and cotton seeded down over acreage
about ten per cent, less than that of 1876.
In many sections of the county the plant
is coming up, and presents a healthy ami
thrifty appearance. Tho land both for
corn and cotton was in good condition,
and if present indications are worth any
thing In tho prognostics of the future
there will certainly be no drouth of these
two commodities throughout this section,
POLITICS,
while not excited, have taken on some
activity pending the county convention
held in Talbotton to-day to nominate del
egates to the Constitutional Convention,
Quite a large number of our substantial
citizens met in the Court House, when the
meeting was organized by calling Capt. J.
W. Gamble to the Chair, and requesting
Mr. J. if. Worrill to act as Secretary,
Speeches pro and con. were made on
the Convention question, but it Is quite
remarkable that the opposition speakers
did not, or could not, advance a single ar
gument against the feasibility or necessity
of holding a Constitutional Convention.
We would not in this connection attempt
to discuss so plain a proposition as the
necessity for a Constitutional Convention
Speeches were made by Messrs. J. M
Matthews, W. R. Gorman, M. Bethune, W
P. Matthews, Henry Persons for, and by
I)r. W. R. Neal against Convention. One
of the speakers attacked vigorously the
much abused “Bureaus” of the State
notably the Agricultural Bureau coming
in for critical animadversion. Now
with all due respect for the opinions of
others we think this criticism not only
ungenerous but unjust; ungenerous in
that It reflects upon a policy protective o f
the rights and interests of farmers; unjust
in that it was the creation of the intelli
gent representatives of the people in Leg
islature assembled. The agricultural
bureau is of great advautago to the peo
ple of Georgia, and we trust that our en
lightened publie opinion will sancllon tho
perpetuation of an institution so fraught
with good ministries to the farmers.
After a good deal of conference between
the different parties interested It was pro
posed and carried as the sense of the
meeting that an election be held at the
various precincts In the county on Satur
day next, the sih proximo, to elect dele
gates to represent the comity in the Con
stitutional Convention.
The following gentlemen were then put
in nominat ion:
J. F. Willis, W. R. Gorman, W. R. Neal,
W, p. Muthows, W. X. Holmes, John Mc-
Kinney, James D. Woodal, E. 15. Smith
and Perry Morris were then appointed by
tlm Chairman, as delegates to oast the
vote of Talbot county in the District Con
vention, which will assemble in Talbotton
on the 10th instant. Any two of tbe gen
tlemen nominated would reflect credit
upon thoir constituency in tho Constitu
tional Convention, hut we believe, without
disparagement to any one, that J. F. Wil
lis and W. R. Gorman are more promi
nently before the people than any other
narnod.
The bogus bond election passed off
quietly iu the town, with 91 votes polled
for "ratification" of the action of two suc
cessive legislatures repudiating the Bul
lock fraudulent bonds.
The Agricultural ISodely of Talbot
county held their regular monthly meet
ing, with the president, W. R. Gorman in
the chair. The discussion of the subject
of “guano or no guano,” selected att he
last meeting, went over by defuult to the
regular meeting in June, when it was
thought a very large attendance of the
members aud citizens would invest in dis
cussion with more than ordinary inter
est. Other subjects of moment to the
planting intereqt qre tq be discussed du
ring the year, und essayson rice culture,
pomology, grain crops,domestic manures
Ac., will bo road at stated meetings. We
arc glotl to chronicle this spirit of enter
prise on tho part or our farmers, for sure
ly if any class of men in the vast hive of
of human industry need spirit and enter
prise In their avocations it is the bread
makers of tho South. We wish
them mueh snecess in this departure from
the old status of thinking and doing
things.
And uow before we close we would not
forget to say a well deserved word for the
Daily and Weekly Times. It* circula
tion iu the county is very large, and weare
quite certain it is gaining ground iu the
estimation of tbe people. Its editor is
known as one of the safest political
prophets in the State, and In all the de
partments of popular journalism he Is
accepted bv our people as the equal of
any. The Times eomes to us regularly
brim full of Interesting matter. Much suc
cess to the I iMKs.

Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Luk Fever, &c. Every family should
have a bottle of Bosehee’s German riyrup.
Don’t allow for one moment that cough to
take hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pneu
monia, Croup. Hemorrh >£es, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much
better to have it at hand when three do
ses will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family a winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are consump

remedy. Sample bdttles 10 cents. Reg
