litre glut Ccuuiii iitMijj T. A. HAVRON, Editor & Prop'r 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. CORRESPONDECE. R:ies<tont T:sEk Srom ttaii* IPoISv. 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 in ! ittle brown cases, locltetl anti 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. Avnt Poli.y A Ltllt’i’ Frocei Sitnurr. “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 Yes, l was carried hack some ten or fifteen years, when that Geometry class was up; imagined 1 could see t lie stately lorm ot Prof. Patterson, dressed in his gray suit of lAme-made jeans, hlid hear his quiet the end of each demonstration say, ‘*9lod eiat denonstrandunr.” But, alas! the old Professor lias gone to Ins eternal reward ; and J verily believe ; s in that land “that is brighter’.hail day .” Yes, and a great many of the students who attended that school are dead. Some are get ting along tolciahle well in life, others not so well, and a few getting rich. Mr. Editor, hurrah for J-ff Davis and Gen. Gorlon. Do.r’t understand \hat I am for Gordon for Governor ; l -oin’t, and haven’t any use for a man thabjs foi an office of public trust wire. ea.Vt support his family in the U. S. SenaX, 1 admire iiis general ship very much, lint that is all. lam for Clements for Congress ; hut I am not foi Gen. Chadwick nor Dr. Lumpkin either for Representative. 1 was up at Rising Kairu the other •lay, and heard more election talk than I have iieud in a “coons age.” Several plucked me out and asked me if Em |■ Ileele was going to mu. 1 told them that i didn’t know any thing in the world about it. They would talk around and around. 1 think they were going to ask me t< run, or trying to get me to ask them, but I didn't, Eaioiek. 1 o (j|J) C / ".JABIi 1 ' INSTITUTE.^ The Next Term Begins T1!£SI?
