Would it not be justice to the people;for the next Legislature to allow the North Georgia and Mar rietta Rail road to run in Atlanta.

But as wc happened to be intensely Democratic in our principles this year. we could not publish the address as requested and without compensation, or n hope of doing any good. The Pro i hibitionists has not. the ghost of a I show for success in the present | campaign, and while the banner of I Democracy and of Cleveland is | likely to trail in the dust our I course should not be impared by Sside issues that are settled before Itho campaign is ended.

Having bought out the firm of Ketcherside <fc Thurman’s general line* of merchandise, I will con tinue the business at their old stand, and hope to have their old customers to trade with me, and new ones will find it to their interest to call on me when they are in need of any thing in my line.

Last Tuesday while Mr. Marion Tatum and Fate Quinton were out sheep hunting in the ‘‘Sitton Gulf” their attention was attracted by a series of unearthly sounds proceeding from a rocky ledge some hundred yards from w’here they had stopped in amazement and fright, Mr. Quinton being the most adventerous of the two, proposed an investigation, which was relunctantly agreed to by Mr. Tatum. After advancing cautious ly to within twenty paces of the heart rending screames they be held a sight which chilled their blood and caused the hair of their heads to “stand on end;” never did man gaze upon a more harrow ing sight than that they now faced, sitting on a projecting stone near the verge of the cliff sat a man—if such it might be called, w’ith the skin of a hog drawn loosely around his lower limbs, savage fashion. While the body was covered with a coat of course sandy about ' an inch long, the beard of his face was shaggy and long, and the hair of his head was long and unkempt and matted, his long sharp teetn knnwing viciously upon a piece of putred meat of some sort — this was the spectacle which two brave men were compelled to face, hut only for a few moments since the being before them had seemed to scent their presence and was away in a few slight bounds among the rocks and disappeared from their sight after two or three pierc ing cries left his beholders al most petrified in their position. No one knows from whence the wild man ;comes. and this is the first time he has been seen in this neighborhood, althoush a report of his presence was received from Walker county some two weeks ago, yet our citizens couid not give credience to such an unnatural thing, but when two of the most respectable and concencious men of “our county arc witnesses we would almost believe in ghosts should they claim to have seen one We are to believe beyond a doubt of the exigence of a wild man in community, whether the world ac cepts our story or not. THE BEAUTIES OF JOUR NALISM. Why should the editor of a country paper ever be so wicked as to contein;daw suieide? What is it to him if his county is prosper ous or in sunk into the mire of ev erlasting poverty. He stills lias the consolation of knowing that he can say just what he wishes, and that it will gain more or less pub licity—probably less. If the edi tor has a fine bouncing boy at his house he can extend congratula tions to himself, and if it be a girl he need not mention the fac t at all just as it suits his taste, ile may have infinite trouble and experi ence all the torments of perdition with his wayward Devil, and on press day may realize that he has not only the Devil to contend with but itself in blunders of his refractory compositor, vet in all this there is a certain sweetness t 0 remind him of his duly to forgive and choke back the “cuss words” which an irreverent man would be likely to utter, and he goes on with the correction of the innumerable typographical errors he sees before him. Occasional}/ lie will roe five an extra large potatoo or cabbage as the gift from some worthy pat ron who may have been struck with the editors hungry look, and this compassion for suffering hu manity prompts him to look about for something ho does not need which he very proudly offers and in turn receives a complimenta-iy lo cal notice. All of these things are bracing to the editors nerves and appetite, and before lying down at night he incorporates into hismod eet prayer, “peace on earth and good will to all men,” Of course an editor does not make much money, hut at the same time he is engaged in a business in which he may put in his few spare dollars and know that his country gets the benefits. Oh, who would not be an editor —a country editor. _ NOTICE.
