All quiet about the Sorghum
Hill, the farmers are about done
gathering their crops, which prov
ed short, and are engaged still in
sowing wheat and oats. Thomas
Ward has named his baby boy
Thomas Felton. Mac Taylor and
Samantha Dobbins were married
on the 17th by Rev It. Baber.
It has been a calm time since
the storm, but within a few days
politics have again ris, and the
people have begun to talk about
the next. County election. It
seems they want to make an en
tire change from Baliffs to the
highest office.
Why don’t the Chairman of
the Executive committee call the
County Convention to nominate
candidates ? If the organized in
tend to fall in with the Indepen
dents, they must come in sack
cloth and a§hes repenting t heir
sins for the was
redeemed from misrule on the
sthof November. * *
A Fort Valley, (hi., Letter.
Field and Fireside :—You will
please send me a specimen copy
of you paper as I like its tone in
reference to the ring democracy.
I see extracts from your paper
in the Constitution and they
agree with my idea about the Re
publican party saving the State
and not the Democrats. If you
will recollect, their advice was
not to touch the unclean thing
hut to stay away from the polls;
but as soon as the Republican
; party had the ship of state under
j way then the Democrats boarded
her and drove out the captain
! and crew by force. The ring
f democracy got whipped in this
county this time. They have
had it all their own way for sev
eral years hack. They would
get whipped every election if the
independents got anything like a
fair showing. Arnold beat Ham
mond in this county, they ex
pected to carry it by over one
thousand votes.
I like your paper from the held
and independent stand it has
taken. It afraid to tell
the truth and oppose corrupt
rings. J. A. E.
The Senate of Georgia has pas
sed a bill—its first of the present
session—in which the power of
a newspaper monopoly is sought
to. be perpetuated even by a ring
in the legislature. In the bill
prescribing the manner in which
all hills of a local and special na
ture are to he prepared,it says thir
ty-day’s notice must be giyen by
publication once in the paper in
which the sheriffs advertisements
are published in the county. This
“special” legislation on the part
of the representatives of the peo
ple is the first step towards what
the public may expect in case the
House exhibits no fairer and less
Y>arlizan spirit. No doubt the bill
was drawn and passed the Senate
by the aid of interested newspa
per men in that body.— Augusta
r Fee. J News.
About the best joke ot the cam
paign Was perpetrated on a friend
of ours, a strong Lester man, last
Wednesday night. He retired late
very tired and sleepy, and was
soon in a profound slumber, such
as one of the .“organized” alone
know how to appreciate after a
hard fought campaign. He had
slept some time when some mem
ber of the family aroused him and
said someone was calling at the
gate. He arose and went out
barefoot, and asked: “What do
you want?” “Oh, nothing in par
ticular,” was the reply, “I just,
thought I’d stop and tell you that
‘the parson’ had weaned another
mule colt !” And putting spurs
to his horse he dashed away in
the darkness. Our friend swears
by all the saints in the calender
that if ho finds out who that fel
low was he will give him—a gal
lon of the best, whiskey to be
had.— Cherokee Georgian.
Savannah Weekly News.
In that popular paper, the Sa
vannah Weekly News, No
vember 23d, will he commenced
anew serial story of absorbing
interest, entitled “Aftekwaihj,”
from the gifted pen of Mrs. Ophe
lia Nisbet Reid, whose charming
stories, “Aly Mother’s Daughter"
and “Mrs. Dare,” have added such
literary interest to this deserved
ly popular journal.
The News also commences the
publication of a series of article
on “Orange Culture,” written ex
pressly for its pages by Mr. O.
Codrington, of Florida. These ar
tides, which have been prepared
after much practical experience
and careful consultation of tlie
best authorities, will be of special
interest to those engaged in the
culture of the orange.
Its charming stories by South
ern authors, the able contribution
of its numerous correspondents,
together with its agricultural de
partment, its careful compilation
of the news of the day, foreign
and domestic, its reliable market
reports, editorial comment, and
choice miscellaneous readings,
makes the Weekly News one of
the most instructive, entertain
ing, and valuable newspapers in
the South.
From a careful estimate of the
moneys coveted in the North
and West for the benefit of the

yellow fever sufferers of tho

and other foreign cities aggre
gate $36,000.
The Forty-Sixth Congress.
Reports of the election on the
sth in the various States have
heretofore been so confusing and
unreliable that we have, up to
this time, refrained from publish
ing or commenting on the status
of the next Congress—the forty
sixth. Sufficient returns have at
length been received, however
to show quite reliably the com
ploxion of that body.
Tne Senate consists of 76 mem
bers classified at present as fol
lows: Republicans 39, Democrats
36, Independents (David Davis of
Illinois) 1. Of these the terms
of 25 expire on the 4th of March
next—of which 17 are Republi
cans and 8 are Democrats, and
these vacancies will be filled by
14 democrats and 11 republicans.
Of the Senators holding over 23
are Republicans, 27 are Demo
crats and one is Independent,
Thus the Senate of the Forty
sixth congress will stand 41 dem
ocrats, 34 Republicans and Inde
pendent. A clear democratic ma
jority of 8, independent of Sena
tor David Davis, of Illinois, who
will on all important questions
vote with the democrats.
The House of Representatives
numbers 293 members, which, in
the present House, are divided as
follows: 153 Democrats, 140 Re
publicans- a democratic majority
of 13.
Hence, in the next house there
will be a clear democratic major
ity of 26 over the radicals and of
21 over both radicals and green
hackers combined. Inasmuch,
however, as the green backers
were all elected in direct antag
onism to the radicals on the finan
cirl issue, and as their views are
more in consonance with the
democratic than with the radical
party, it may be safe to assume
that on all important questions
the democratic majority will be
31. Thus, after the 4th of March
next, the democracy will have a
clear working majority in both
houses of the United States Con
gress for the first time in nearly
twenty years.
The latest discovery in denistry
is that teeth can he transplanted
from one mouth to anot er—a
tooth that has done service for
years or decades being put into
a vacant jaw and made to grow.
The important part of it is that
the teeth need not have been re
cently extracted. If requires
rare skill, but the conditions of
dental disease and life are being
so earnestly studied and so thor
oughly understood that it is be
lieved that transplantation and
grafting will soon supercede the
present clumsy artifieal contri
vances.
The problem of using compres
sed air for street car propulsion
lias apparently been successfully
solved in New York. A com
pressed air car has been running
and gives such good results that
the horse railway company has
resolved to dispense with the
horses on the avenue above the
new station at Twentty-seventh
street as soon as six of the com
pressed cars can he built. The
inventors hope to get their motos
introduced on the elevated rail
ways, the officers of which pre
sumably only need to be assured
of its success to adopt it at once.
