Clem ents is nominated, / * ________ He who labors for a political leader without care for himself, has already began his immortality. “Take things cool” was the cry, and is perhaps as good a motto, as could have been adopted, but a very hard one to illustrate at this season of the year. The bes; of harmony prevailed, and the quietude of the day was marred only by an occasional whoop from Esquire Cantrell for “mountain colt.” 1 * . The “mountain colt” has mado a vigorous and successful kick against being turned out of the pasture, and the people of Dade think there is no immediate dan ger of him foundering. The truths that we least wish to heat are those which it is most to oar advantage to know, and we wish to say to those who think money will dp anything may be suspected of doing anything for money. A v/eak mind is like a Microscope, which magnifies tri fling, things, but cannot receive great ones, ‘ and there certainly is rio greater piece of. weak-minded ness than charging the Cole City and Rising Fawn people with be ing forced and bought. The new issue of Georgia, horde, nearly $1,600. were recently" sold! t the New’ York Mutual. Life Ins Ur an'ce Company for 105{. There ifill be 1,900" one thousand dollar coupon bonds.

There lies in the Treasury Department to daj’ sl,- fOO.OOO of unclaimed interest on government bonds. The sum is getting larger every day. This seems strange, but it is true. This vast sum of money, or much of it, can be drawn by simply applying for it bv whoever is entitled to it, and has the registered bond, on which the interest is due and not paid. There are thousands of per sons who have bought bonds, and not knowing how to get the interest on them, prefer to lose the same ■ rather than expose the fact they have the bonds. Others have in terest due them, and actually for get the fact, and it lies in the treasury vaults waiting for them to apply for it. Should a clerk of the bond division inform a person to whom interest is due, of the fact, and the same be discovered, he would be instantly be discharged. Our government is like that of other countries dishonest in mat ters of this kind, and is always willing to keep that which belongs to others if it is not called for. Should one of its clerks be honest enough to give out a hint, he is dis charged on the ground that it is not probable thal he would lie en gaged in volunteering information unless he received a certain per centage for liis sen ice, and has no right, to, do it. The government takes the ground that the person to whom the interest i.- duo should not he required to pay for the in formation, at the sane time the same government - will not volun teer the information. There is one tiling we.believe a great many people about Trenton should cease to make use of, and that is charging the people of Cole* City and Rising Fawn with being forced f>,nd cornpollod, by virtue of tlieir employment, to vote as Joe Brown dictates. This is a gross in sult to men of intelligence, and in stead of being inculcated into the minds of the people by the party leaders, should be cried down as too great a stigma and disgrace to the county of Dade. All the men that came from Rising Fawn Cole City, are men of considerable intelligence, and who are respet 'd as such. Such as “being forced to vote for Shumate and controlled by Joe Brown,” are charges against their honor and integrity. These same men that the Clements men treated with such scathing and scornful reqoarks a year ago, voted for Judson C. Clements, and now, that they come forward with a new preference, is it right and just that they should be charged with being bought and sold, as sheep by the Clements men. This is an insult to ordinary intelligence, and wo say our people should d<-hist in such remarks. We are are not only pleased but turned by a leather. The history of a man is a calender of straws. Lowndes county clears this year on the water melon crop $50,000. Mr. J. O. Wisenbaker cleared SSOO on live car loads. J A. Cambell netted $2,118 on twenty nine car loads. The political embers are burning low, and apparently everything is smooth and calm., but, underneath, there is a raging lire burning to a white heat, and ere many days have passed, a combustion will fake place, south ring brands right anil left.

Editor News: — Allow me space in your valuable paper to give you a few lines from Texas. This has been a seasonblo year in this part of the country. Corn crops are reasonably good. Wheat sorry. Oats moderately good. Too much rain in the spring for cot ton, and to dry now—no rain for four or five weeks. I will give you a little idea of the locality of this country. In the vicinity of Newport, Clay county., sets in the ten-mile prairie; as nice a country as any one would wish to see. The soil is sandy loam, and rich enough. South east of this prarie sets in what they call here the mountain —a range of table lands I think to be 150 feet high, and fully as productive as the prairie. Water on the prairie has plenty of salt in it, and ;of course not very good, but the water on the mountain is a little like the water in your country, but very warm. The timber in this country looks like an old apple orcherd in your country. These people say they can get two rail cuts eight feet long off of one tree, Mr. Ed. what would think of fence rails two feet long? They range from two to ten feet long. Some of the praire land has a solid fondation—it is solid rock. Wild sun flowers grow here in some pla.ee; from 15 to 18 feet high - and eockleburs as thick as wheat. There is the greatest variety of oil h* r A any place on the globe. There is all kinds of water except good. There is what they call “gip” water, out we have not drank any yet. Mr. Editor you ought to be here to go hunting with us; and kill some of these muje-care.! rabbits. Your correspondent w-nt ■ 10 ,■ few mornings ago and '.hi • ■ . of these large rabbits, and felt as proud over my Btteoek** la. you would if you had killed a buck. It is very hot from 10 a. m. to 8 3p. m. Ido not know how much The thermometer would register milt there is heat enough here to cause pop corn to cap in the sun on the ear. Some of the citizens say ‘j*-hat is often - the case. The wind is Wowing that J have to hold my paper in a vice grip to keep it from blowing away from me. This accounts for the country being indurable. Success fo the News. N. K. Peaches from the country sell in Brunswick at fifty cents per peck. At the fruit stands nice ones bring as high as fifteen to twenty cents per dozen. The low country peach crop has not been as bad a failure as some pointa higher up the coun try. MORGANVILLE. Our sick list is about blank. Where shall we build our new school-house? Mr. John Fowler was at home Sunday. Miss Sue Tittle is said to be skillful in the art of penmanship. Tire much contemplated store house of Tittle Bros., is in course of erection. Mrs. John Morgan of Birming ham, is spending a few day’s recre ation with relatives. Prospects lor an abundant corn crop is being blighted by the pre vailing ury weather. Miss Mattie Morgan is assisting in the public school at this place. Mr. Will Townsend talks tiuoiit in the interest of religion.
