TRENTON - - - GEORGIA.
FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1 m
Last Tuesday was rather a lively
day in town. Quite a number of lead*
ing citizens from different parts of the
county were id town. The Congress
ional race was hut little discussed,
nothing more than a mere expression
of preference.
Judson C. Clements and Judge
Fain are the only candidates with the
citizens of this county. Both gentle*
Tnen arc so highly esteemed and re
spected that we predict that race to
pass off without little demonstration.
Enthusiasm and demonstration was
manifested in the gubernatorial race.
We admire General Gordon’s military
greatness, but if the Walker County
Messenger lie l about him, he ought to
have displayed sufficient moral cour
age .and greatness to pass by in
contemptuos silence, instead of taking
a copy of it, “throwing it on the floor
and stamping it as if he was fight
ing a yellow jackets nest/’ When
Gen. Gordon gets ready to kill more
black abolition yankecs he can call
on us ; when wo want a governor, we
want Maj. Bacon, that is, just now.
\Y T c have no hesitancy in announc
ing our preference for A. 0. Bacon for
Governor. Our reasons arc not as
variocs as they are decisive. No friend
and supporter of Gen. Gordon’s can
didacy is disposed to confer a higher
tribute to his military genius, to his
willingloss to serve his country in
any capacity at a personal sacrifice,
than we are. There runs within our
"bosom a deep feeling of gratitude and
veneration for our Confederate heroes
that no prejudice can ever supplant,
nor time weaken. But gratitude and
veneration to public servants should
always he only secondary with all
true and lo3 r al citizens to the country’s
good. We are fully persuaded that
Maj. Bacon would make an executive
ofTicci far superior to Gen. Gordon
No Georgian has ever yet presented
himself before his people better versed
In the affairs of State than Maj, Bacon.
He has been for several years in the
civil service of the State, performing
every duty and function of office to
the highest satifaction and best ad
vantages of the people. No man has
over come before the people with a
purer official recoid —not one official
net can l*e brought against him im
pugning his public character nor giv
ing the least tint of corruption Gen.
Gordon’s most ardent supporters ad
mit Maj. Bacons unblemishxble char
acter, public record and superior
qualifications for an executive.
Why, then, do they prefer Gen. Gor
don ? One can hardly refrain from
tenis when heating a recital of the
privations he suffered, and a reference
made to the scar obtained in the de
fense of our count iys sacred cause by
one of his over enthusiastic friends.
It is about all they have to offer for
their preference to Gen. Gordon, and
we must admit the effectiveness of the
appeal. We are happy to sec that
veneration still abiding in the heart of
hearts of the old Confederate soldiers,
but aic still happier to note the strong
manifestations ot a spirit fn the citi
zens of Georgia, and mast especially
Hade county, to confer a trust upon
one who is inoat ermently woitliy and
qualified to fill it, rather than become
the idolators of a military hero. Maj.
llacon is more eminently fitted for our
executive, and there is no use in deny
ing it. And then, Gen. Gordon
should have been brave enough not
to have permitted himself to have
been drawn into the contest by Atlan
ta’s ling. No one need deny that
Atlanta is the head of Gen Gordon.
Near! all the State press is for Bacon.

The niimiifr comes with thunder drums,
And witli the lightenings’s InUhloi: keen ;
The roses breath perfumes the :iif,
And lore ihecra many a wedded, pair,
Oh hoars of summer and of lore
Elysian hoars for banian hearts,
Ilow transitory to yo prove—
How goon the rose’s tint departs,
liow youth’s bright dream# like visions fly,
How summer and lore go by.
Earl It’d wardrobe trait all folded uji

guarded by jack-frost when i wrote
my last letter to the Tjmks, Ah, it
does seem a long while since then, hut
friends my silence lias been unavoida
ble.
How well I remember thinking
while writing last :
Strango that from such stagnation as is horo,
From out such utter utter dearth,
A quickening life can spring in the now year
And all bright things have birth
At ono wavo of Nature’s magic wand.
I cannot help from feeling sorry for
the poor skeptic who reads no proph
ecy of his own death and futuie life
in redirection of nature. The very
thought of being nothing after death
.3 a lnpden insupportable to a good
and noble man. We naturally aim at
happiness and can not hear to
have it confined to our present beings
But why cant I write without moral
izing, especially when hurried ?
We have organized a Sabbath
school in the old J. A. Case house,
two and one half miles from Morgan
ville, 1 never have seen a neighbor
hood so deeply interested in a school.
We have two or three male and the
same number of female Superintend
ents. We never meet and part, with
out feeling it was good to he there.
Among our visitors last Sabbath was
one of tiie Timms correspondents. We
were glad indeed to sec him. lie
looked as though, he was singing to
himself all the while.
“Not a wavo of trouble rolls
A cross \tiy peaceful breast - ”
And when we saw him depart with
the prettiest girl in Dado, (our young
Benedicts wife excepted) close by his
side, we felt sure he was singing in his
heart, joyful j >y —ful. You’ll come
again, won’t you ? Eh, Farmer '?
Well, a matrimonial wave has
reached Dade at last. 1 hope— l think
it will lie the duty of all who have
old maids or bachelor friends to push
them in while the waters aie troubled
Yes, the pie and pie-nic season is
here, but we’ll have hut little else
than berries to make pies out of.
Peaches ale a failure here this season.
Apples nearly so, hut our “crop look
out,” more than compensates for the
partial failure of fruit.

“Ah carry me back”—not to old
Virginy, But it I was a boy, say
about the size of John#io Jacoway or
Allen Bobcitson, I’d make a man of
myself—a Ben Hill or Alexander
Stephens—l’ll take it all back. You
see I have been hearing of those
Trenionites boast on their school. I
have passed the school-house frequent
ly, and saw them slinging their hands
round, cutting up and going on ridic
ulously, as 1 thought. I just put it
down as a humbug. Br.t I spent a
couple of hours there during tho ex
amination, and was thoroughly con
vinced that Trenton has a got d school.
If I had boon that fellow who hail
been making slighty remarks about
the school, I’d a ctawled in a hole
when Miss Ela'got through talking.
I felt a little like it anyway. 1 never
said anything about the school, except
one time. An oid school-maio of mine
was rather bragging on the school to
me. Said I, “pshaw ! John you
know that isn’t half such a school as
Prof. Patterson use to teach when we
went to school ? Pennington hasn’t
got the sense; lean tell a man when
I see him.”
“Ah !” hut says John, “it is his
wife,”
Well, I frankly confess I was much
mistaken in Prof. Pennington. Pen
nington can’t swap horses. Ho fol
lowed me all around town one day
trying to swap me a little old wide
eyed crest-fallen mare
