S'HE GAZETTE. RISING FAWN, G A.: .'lmrsdav, I\ov. Illlh. IS7O. MBit 1 ~ .-i.—.r.i—-. i A WCM lVt KHIFAT. I have, for the past three months, at tmpted to edit the Gazette and at the une time attend to our other duties; ut finding it requires a goodly portion r our time, which mast necessarily be rawn from other business, and in or er that neither might suffer, and lor le mutual benefit of both, I have asso rted with mein the publication of the Gazette, Dr. Geo. 1L Jordan,who takes 3 Uarge as local editor. We can now routine our subscribers a newsy and tiof local department. Onr principles have already been set 1 >rth, to asking the hearty co-operation f tli* people, we leave the future issues f the Gazette to speak fo. ‘hemselves. T. J. Lumpkin. In associating myself with Dr. Lump in in the publication of the Gazette, I illy appreciate the responsibilities that evolve upon me as a newspaper pub sher. I have had several years expe ence in the newspaper business, there jre it is no new thing to me. I earnest- I r hope that the people of Dade county ill lend us a helping hand in making re Gazette a first class county paper, tis firmly established, and we intend > make it one of the beet county pa ere in North Georgia, living np to our lotto: “Faithful to the Light, Fearless gainst the Wrong." Friends, I make my bow, and trem lingly mount the tripod. Geo. B. Jordan. The great political question that is gitating the public mind just now, is rho is most likely to recicvc the nomi lation for president, and whether or not he democrats will elect a president in It lequiies but little thought to jirjive at a correct conclusion, and that w, from the present indications, the divi sions among the people, the election of lire republican nominee. It appears from ill the surroundings that we. as a nation ire not capable of self government. This nation, once so great is passing itway, ami eie long will be numbered with the nations of the past - And ?* <lon archy ejected on the ruins thereof Unless the people will rise in their might drive back the wave that is floating us Joviftly down to ruin. But we still hope, inil firmly believe, the jieople w ill return o the original compact of government, i—mutual protection. rhr Elections, flemorr:ili Folly kc. The folly of the democratic party has .gain been verified. The el ct ions icetnt |° r held in Ohio and Mew York demon* * Vtrates beyond question, that the demo t ratic party has again been duped. ■ In every instance where any division .as been kept up between the demo ■ratic and greenback parties, the repub licans have been victorious. And it flvill evar be thru so long as this division | l,gt - I The greenback party has no cause fhatever to tight the d< mocrats, neither .ms the deaiecrat.!* any reason to he an tagonistic to the greenback party, for he platforms of both are similar and have the same object in view. It is supposed by some, that the grand ;an sc of the loss of Mew York, to the lemocrats, was the determination of his timmies to place Mr. Tildcnonthe shelf, ind nip his presidential aspdwlions in j he bud. This may he ti ne, if so ii ful ly accounts for the Mew York vote. As Mr. Tilden was by fraud cheated • put of tire presidency in 1 >T<i, we think it would but an act of justice to elect him again in While Mr. T’Vsn may not be our first choice, still if he jbhould r -cieve ths nomination we w ill cheerfully sujpoit him. AYilliam Courie r* Over Hit* lialeri flScliirn*in an Ab*li't'lrri Way. How sweet are the sounds from home How soothing the consolations of a dis cerning wife. 1 was feeling bad and she knew it. My cogitations over the elec tion news were by no means jubillant. Silent and sad with the news paper open upon ray knee, I had been looking dreamily at the flickering flames for about ten minutes while Mrs. Arp sat near me sewing a patch on a pair of little breeches w hen suddenly she inquir ed: “What did jou expect Mr. Robinson to do fur von?” “Nothing,” said I, “nothing at all; but then you see my dear the last prop is gone—knocked from under. We can’t elect a democratic president without New York and Ohio has gone the other way.” She never looked up nor for a moment stopped the graceful jerk of her needle aml thread as she again inquired: “And what would a democratic presi dent do for you?” “Well, nothing-—nothing at all,” said I, “but then you see I feel interested in the success of our party and the pro mulgation of the gieat general princi ples of democracy. They are the hope of the country—the— the” “please tell me something about those great principles” said she, “what are they?” “Why my dear the great principles of our party are—they are—they—why they are as old as the government. They underlie the foundation of democratic institutions—they”— “But what arc they?” said she. “Well in the first place’, said I, “when Thomas Jefferson was president lie elimi nated and set forth those principles in a series of state papers that have estab lished in the minds of American patri ots a reverence for democratic govern ment that”— “But what are the principles, said she. “Well as l was gqing cm to say the democratic institutions of our country have contiibuted more to the preserva tion of life, liberty and happiness than all other causes combined; indeed the benefits that its adherents partake of are —they are”— “Justification, adoption and sanctifi cation” said she. “No not exactly: not to that pious ex tent,’’-said I. “An enumeration of nil those great principles would require more time -than—than—” “well, never mind, William, never mind,” said she, affectionately, “J don’t want to take up your valuable time, hut I’ve been suspteting, for a long time, that those great principles were to get in office and draw big salaries, and live high w ithout work, and J reckon one party can do that about as well as an other’ don’t you?” Well, yes, my dear; there is, I confess some foundation for y our suspicious; bu then you see, we are trying to nationa lize the American people through a na tional party, and become once more in fraternal union, and—” “Well, you can’t do that William’” said she. “They never did like us and we never did like them. We didn’t conic from the same stock. They’ve been hawking at us for a hundred years. For mv part I am glad we’ve got a solid sodth, 1 want oar deal with them just like they do with the French or the Spanish, or the heathen Chinese. We needn’t have any more war hut we can he stately and distant like we have to he with nabors that are not congeni al. If 1 vias jou I’d let national poli tics, as you call it, alone, for its ja ack o lantern business and will never profit you. Look after your farm and your home affairs. You had better go out now and water the flowers in the pit, and see where Carl and Bessie are The meal is nearly out. and you had better shell a turn of corn this evening and while you are down them sec if the old blue hen has hatched. Iler time is about lip. Stir around, awhile and don’t he loqking so far away. Mew York i- - a thousand milts from here. Blessed woman ! 1 did stir round, and it made me feel hotter. I shell take no more interest in national politics until —well until the election Consolation is a good thing'. J met Branson the other day on the train, lie was leaning hack on one seat with his number 12 Conestoga l ots upon the other. 1 e slrceho 1 forth his left hand towards'me iu languid unconcern ands ;id “lloutlr Arp, how*., the wife and children &nd and the dog and ihat f .i,c\;-hroaking ! mule you ws telling me about; now do iyou jo i get some of this new fashioned wire with stickers all ovci it and put it round you.i horse lot and turn the mule in and watch him, I've got one that beats all mules in creation fol bustin tip things. Rail fences wasent no where, lie kicked down stable door behind ! him andpaWed all the planks off before him and broke down the partiton. 1 got i him for half pr ice on account ot his dev ilment and was just abontto kill him when I saw some wire on the line of the railroad. When 1 Lad got two *iraiis of it around the horse lot I turned old Dan out and he walked right up to it with one eye shut. It stuck him deep the fiirst assaut, and ho stepped back about three feet and looked at it. Then he went off and tried another place and got stuck again. He stood off about ten feet and pawed dirt for several min utes; then walked all around the lot looking at tha wire carefully, and at last becoming disgusted, walked back imo the stable. Every day lie walks up to the wire and paws the ground awhile, but that’s all. lie is whipped. How arc you getting along, Arp.?” “Pretty well,” said I “considering age and infirmity. How are you pro gressing?” “Oh, splendid, splendid,” said he. “I am doing so well I couldn’t stay at heme. I got holt of threo dollars yes ter day and Concluded to go down to Atlanta and splurge round awhile.” llow are you going to get hack, said I. Oh, I dont know', William Arp, I sliant walk. I always get back. The scriptures say: Take no thought for the morrow, and I dont, but I always get I’ve been used to tight places so long I aint happy unless I,m in one. If they dont come to me I hunt for era. I’m hunting one now, and I’ll find it I reck on, for a poor man in Atlanta GO miles from home, without a cent in his pocket and no kin folks to sponge on, ssight as well be in a howling wilderness without a gun. Branson is an Anglo-Saxon success. I never saw him that he dident seems su premely satisfied with himself and his manifest destiny. What lie has got or what he has done to put himself in this normal conditton I never did know. I’ve lived within a few miles of him for twenty odd years and he was always the same smiling fat jawed roliekin froliekin feliow with half a dollar in his vest pocket a bieewhoppin harmless lie right under im He always has one in ambush. l’\%tried him my- self and pitted some of my Borne fiend* agin him but it’s no use. We’ve all surrenderee. Hows lie gets along % a miracle for his devoted name is always mixed up with th* sheiffr salo# as a standing defendant, sold you out Branson ? said I solomny, Mo, sir, nary time, they neverAdll. They dont want to. The shcri® and ahd constables just keep me to practice on. 1 reckon my property lias been ad j vertised a hundred times, but they can’t sell it. Bnt dont you have a heap of cost to pay ? said 1. M'arv cent, said he. My deestricts votes about <IOO and I’m a power among, ’em on election day*. Its genaral close >n the county betwixt the candidates and when I work for the sheriff he is in honor bound to work for me. He never calls on me for cost. But yon see he is hound to levy and advertise. Last rear when Willingham’* paper broke down 1 had a brief recess, but somehow i didn’t enjoy it. it made me *o restless I couldn’t sleep and 1 never did fee easy until he got anew paper and slatt ed my name again. It stimulates me and keeps my credit up. My nabors regard me as a shifty man and come to me for advice when they get trouble. J par my depts promptly accopding to Jaw, for you see a man never knows whether lie owes a debt or not until he carries the case into court and exhaust* all his defensas. There’s the plea of general issue and jurisdiction ant setoff and the statute of limitations and non eat factum and various things; and when a fellow is hard run, and has used up ali these without success, there’i the grest principles of equity open to him as wide as a barn door. Then conies what the lawyers calls a final judgement, but it aint final by a long sight, for eftsr a 1 (vy i> made there is the affidavit of illegality, and the claim by a man’s wife or bis childien, and the homestead law and a shifty man eau mix r.p con tinuance, ail along from court to court —con tinuauccs for the absence of bis lawyer or his witnesses, or for Providen tial i .uised ;.u account of sickne s in his family. A shifty man’s family doctor must be rcadv to sweat to it. The* are an accommodating set, these family doctors, and i have never known one to go hack on a feller yet. They’ve certi fied for me when i Could run a fox all night and jumped ? ten rail fence with out touching. But when rou git to the end of everything and the judgement i against you, why then you know that the debt ought to be paid and like an hones manta 1 ways pay it. The law is a blessed thing, Mr. Arp, for a poor man. it has on terrors for me and t’vc always thought a heap of is was just fixed up to sea re a passel of idiots A knowledge of its mullitudions provi sions in my behalf has saved me from the wreck of matter and the crush of wards. Here Sanford 15* 11, lend me half a dollar till l come La;k. Sangord fingered slowly in all of hi* pocket.*, and then told him he leit his pocket-book at home on the piano. But he reconsieer, and, after handing ov’r the silver, took out a memorandum book and charged it up fo Joe Brown, or profit and loss, i couldn’t tell which. Branson is a trump, if i lived near him i should feel safe from attacks of the blues, and all the machinations of wicked men. Yours truly, Bill Arp.
