In the issue before our last we at at*
ed that a meeting of tbe citizens of tie
entire community was requested sit
tbe academy last Tuesday to select a
board of trustees for our school for
another year,and take such other steps
as the meeting might derm best toward
buildiug up a good school. Well, th e
day 1ms come and gone, and there was
no meeting. Why? Do our people
want no trustees, no school ? Hud
they rather their children would grow
np in ignorance ? We trow not; the
failure to meet was only careless neg¬
ligence on the part of all; every one
thought “there is enough without
me.“ Well, there was not; you are
air wanted; it is to your iuterest to be
there; you have children to educate
and your vote is wanted in the man¬
agement of the school. This inchffer*
enee and carlessness on the part of
some is tho only reason we haven’t a
good school now. Your children are
to be educated; you can't allow them
to grow up in ignorance. So come
together, elect a board of trustees,
place the matter in their hands and
tbeu abide by their actions; all send
to the teacher of their choice, and we
will have a school that will be iuter-
esling and beneficial. Another meet¬
ing will be called soon and it is hoped
every parent will be present. Leary
must have a good school.
Of nil meu iu this country, and es -

Spencer is the most unfortunate. When
there is not oue thing to reta d and
delay him there is another. Last
Monday when at a depth of over 400
feet and when he was jnst through a
bed of quick sand, the drill came in
contact with some hard substance
which turned its edge. It was at first
thought the obstruction was flint, aud
the drill was acorlingly tempered,
but when it w..« again lowered there
was still no progress made, and on
using the sand pump small flakes of
iron were brought up, and all bands
at once came to the couclnsiou that
some low lived brute had dropped a
piece of iron or s'eel in the well, for
such it has proven to be, and it could
have got there iu no other way. Wno
is there So m-an ? Can Leary or t his
community hold such a wretch ? We
say the man who committed the act
ought to be made to drink slop and
water from a hog waller, and be ill's

On last Saturday night Capt. Boyd's
store was again entered and relieved
of about $75 worth of goods. The
thieves effected an entrance by crawl¬
ing under tbe house and cuttiug out
two plank in the floor, about two feet
long with an auger. Five or six fine
pistols, as many silver watches, a
box of ladies' fine shoes and some oth-
articles, the value of which is esti¬
mated as above, were taken. The burs
glar left oue of his shoes and an old
cap and ball pistol, but they furnish
no clue as to iiis identity. This bur¬
glary business is getting too frequent
and a close watch will be Kept hereaf¬
ter. We learn that Capt. Boyd will
soon have a brick or rock wall built
underneath his store.
In our absence last weeK, uninten -
tionaliy our printer announced Air.
Beck Isler for tax receiver instead of
tax collector. We are sorry the mis¬
take occurred, and herein call the
public's attention to the fact that he
is running for tax collector, and being
a fresh horse, will make a good race.
We are confident that if elected, he
will give entire satisfaction iu the
discharge of duty. And come near
let us whisper something in your ear:
lie's a candidate for something else,
and he will give satismctioa there,
too.

Large crowds from this place aud

All say it is best the that has visited

In last weeks issue of one of our
most valued exchanges we read quite
a lengthy article devoted to the expe¬
rience of parties returning from the
West. It seems that several families,
a few years ago, had sold out and
moved to Texas, and after remaining
there until they lmd exhausted their
substance, concluded that they would
return to Georgia—their native heath.
But the trouble, then, was to get
back. Finally, however, after a most
bitter experience of many days nnd
weeks, they reached, again, the happy
old state of their nativity. The ex¬
perience of those parties ought to be
a lesson to others, not that we deter
them from going, but that we would
have them tocouut well the cost bos
fore undertaking a trip attended with
so many difficulties and dangers. It
is our firm conviction that no country
upon the top side of the habitable
globe offers more inducements to the
agriculturalist thau South West Geor¬
gia, uud he who sells out his posses¬
sions iu this section aud starts out to
seek a better land, in our opinion,
will, far all time to come regret the
move. Our remarks are not the re¬
sult of observation merely, but of
actual experience, aud we' believe, at
this season of the year, when so many
are tearing up and getting ready to
‘go West,’ ihat it becomes our duty to
ulter a word of wuruing. Think,
friends, before taking this step. We
have a good country aud let us stick
to it.— Dawson Journal.
The Thomasville Times has the
following statement with reference to
the pardon of tbe negro desperado,
Davidson. We publish it with a view
to aul in putting the facts of the case
on record, and without comment:
‘Thomasville and vicinity have been
thoroughly stirred up during the past
few days on account of the unexpected
return to this community of one
Charles Davison, who was sent to the
penitentiary seven years ago for bur¬
glary and attempt to murder. For
months, iu 1875, he and his pals ter-,
rorized the town by their successful
and bold burglaries. They raided
the houses of Mr. John Pittman, Dr.
C. W. Stegall, Judge Hardaway, S.
A. Smith, Dr. Brandon, Dr. DeWitt
aud others. Finally Charley met bis
match in tackling Judge Hardaway,
who being aroused by his presence in
the house, captured him. Not, how¬
ever, without trying to shoot the
Judge. The failure of the weapon to
Are saved Judge Hardaway's life. At
Dr. Stegall's it was his avowed inten¬
tion to shoot the Doctor, or any one
else who stirred. Fortunately the
family remained asleep. For these
crimes— there being four cases against
—he was sentenced to the penitentiary
for ten years in each case. Without
warning, without any cliauce to pre¬
vent this bold burglar and would-be
murderer from being turned loose on
the community. Gov. Colquitt has
seen proper to pardou him at the so¬
licitation of his attorney. We un¬
derstand that no petition of citizens
accompanied the application for par
don. We do not presume that there
is a citizen of the town who would
not have readily signed a petition to
prevent his pardon. Gov. Colquitt
had many friends here who were just-
mdignant. Telegrams were sent
£&
au( j expressing Governor's their disapprobation
of the action.*
