Pro and Con.
Brother Underwood of the Clarion
in his Baker county article has this
to say:--Brother Jesse Mercer, of
the Calhoun County Courier, was
on hand with his handsome, friendly
face. He lays us in the shade when
it comes to looks. We can only pit
Capt. Triplett, of the Thomasville
Times, against him. Jesse went homo
and said some good things about our
“congeniality,” for which we are
thankful. He certainly thinks we
are very congenial, for he publishes
the Clarion's article on “No Fence"
and give us no credit. We will try
to help our neighbor again.
What will Brown's Iron Bitters
cure ? it will cure Heart Disease,
Paralysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease,
Consumption, Dyspepsia, Rheuma¬
tism and all similar diseases, Its
wonderful curative power is simply
because it purifies and eriches the
blood, thus beginning at the founda¬
tion and by building up the system,
drives out all diseases. For the
peculiar trouble to which ladies are
subject it is invaluable. It is the only
preparation of iron that does not cols
or the teeth or cause headache.
Iu prospect.
While on a recent trip to Baker Co
we beard one of her very best c.tizens
gar, that he was cognizant of all the
particulars of a project to give Newton
a railroad, and thst his personal
knowledge of the faats were such as
to induce him to believe that the day
is not fur distant when Baser, the boss
agricultural county of the state would
have railroad accomodation, this will
he quite an advantage to the people
of the county, though they are far a-
hend of many counties iu the state in
that line already, this counlv is trav¬
ersed very near and almost pftvrell
to Baker's l'ne by nearly 20 miles of
road, affording ve y convenient trans-
potation for a greater portion of its
produce.
Criticism.
There is no philosophy so absurd as
not to have its followers, and there is
not, perhaps, any profession in the
whole scope of human existence not
subject to criticism. To criticise pub¬
lic men and their conduct is a right
we all pi sets, but there are some
men who seem to think their special
mission iu life is to denounce all men
and all courses of conduct which do
not happen to meet their peculiar no¬
tions of propriety. The editor or
journalist who is so affected with
maudlin sentimentality as to conceal
a criminal or throw a fal-e glar e
around crime. falR far short of his
high calling. Language is the vehicle
of thought, and rhetoric serves a good
purpose to embellish language, but
there is no language so eloquent as the
simplicity of truth. Whenever a man
shall make a beast or a public as3 of
himself, we, as a public writer shall
uot hesitate to state that part iu plain
terms, aud to ho'd up crime aud
criminals in their true character for
public condemnation. And those who
may essay to set in judgment upon
us or to bring our conduct in review
for so doing will never want for
employment so long as we are an edi¬
tor'

Tho crop prospect is not at all in -
couraging, good farmers say that it
is fifty per cent short of last years
piospect at this stage. While this is
true those who are experienced far¬
mers will attest that this is not the
season for making anything, like a
acurate e-timntion of crops. With
proper seasons and the avoidance of
other calamities it is quite possible
that a good crop will be made.

Ann any , may 23.— Mr. JucKson, rhe
contracter, who wnsemplyed hy the
Centraljltailroad Company to boro an
artesian well at this place, struck the
boss stream' today. Its preseut capac-
its is sixty gallons per minute, and it
can hardly toefn said the in good run-
uiug order. Sixty gnllns will oar any
sicK man in Georgia, and a two weeks'
supply from this well alone will rejuv¬
enate the entire State. The volume
of water spouting above the surface
is immense and attracts large crowds.

Senator Colquitt, who has lately re¬
turned from the north, reports nnivers
sal opinion that the democrats w ll
elect the next president. The current
he says, has set towards no special
candidate and nothing seems accepted
generally except that Tilden could car
iv New York beyond peradventure.
The decadence of Governor Cleveland
in present estimation is no less mark •
ed than obvious, and he makes, with
Patison, of Pennsylvania, a double ex"
ample of the fickle enth usiusm that
waits upon “tidal wave governors.”
