The Carrell Free Press says that it is quite probable that an e lection will be held soon. " During the wet weatlier Mr. Joe Hutcherson, of. Carroll county, killed 700 rats in his barn. Dr. B. C.

We should be very carc i"ul to select the best men we have, for, if we send men who are not -ualified, who are immoral, our county will be judged as a county whose citizens have no pride—in fact, a county is estimated by the men e send to the chislatum. There is° a number of counties in the State of Georgia that send mién so rvepresent them who can not draw up a- bill, for the county or countles they repiasent, and some other man has to do the work, In this way some other county repre sents us, and, you might say, votes for us. We. should have a man ‘whio would do all lié could for his .constituents—one who knows what they need and can work for thejr ‘necessitics. We heard a man say, who, together with another man, represented a certain county in tlm% Jast house of representatives, thab it was.all he could do tc keep his colleague on the right track. Ifea measure was introduced this man, said his colleague, “would find out the big side, and on that side he vobéd, met ¢ caring whether - said ‘meaguro was for or against the in “torest of his people. Such taem wfiers ard a dithonor instead of-an " honor {b the county they represent, ~ and such men should never be sent {0 any place but the cornfield. - Asman being a Icligious man, 2 %‘gcml farmer or popular man, does ,?“Wprme that he will make a good i?f?iffifiésehtative. It ig true we should g¢lect moral Inen, wen who will look to the interest of the farmer, mechanic and all, but every mora) man will not do to make laws for ue. If we want a law passed that will be to the interest of the people we should have men who can put that bill through without calling on some other man to do the work. There is a number of men in tka Logislature who do mnot know the wants of thepeople hence can ot do anything but draw their salary. We will say inn conclusion to the citizens of Haralsou county and the 38th senatorial district, to seleet good Demiocrats, men who can represent the people in either House, not caring whether they are lawyers, preachers, farmers, ! nlE"(‘hfllltS or ‘.NC‘CIH‘LII‘:CF. DRAKETOWN DOTS. The heaviest wind storm that has visited this section since the well remembered *‘dry storm” of 1860, passed over us about 11 o’- cloek Saturday night. It came up very rapidly’ from the north-west, accompanied by a terrific roaring resembling very much that de seribed by the cyclone reporters. Many of our people were scared out of their dwellings and would have taken refuge in storm pits if we had lad auny, The roof was blown off Mr, Stephens’ barn, and many trees were - blown down in the plantations is aboat all the damage heard of at this writing. The wind ;ranged high, or, it is thought, the damage would have been heavy. - L Eld. R. T. Speight preached hig 40th anniversary sermonat Piney Woods Primitive Baptist church the Ist Sunday in Juné. The church was established the Ist Saturday in June, 1844. Eld. Speight was elected as pastor and has served it continously from thad time to the: piesent, except a few months during the war. Eld. Speight was the only member pros ent at the ‘anniyersary ,whe was present at the organization. Eld. Speight is, and has beén for a long time, moderator of the New Hope agsociation. : Various names -have been” men tloned-as probable candidates to represent this county in- the next Legislature, and among them II have heard the name of Judge S. M. Davenport. Iwish tosay this, thatifthe Judge will consent to servein this capacity, I "do not think any better selection could be made in the county. He has serv od the county riearly eight years as| Ordinary, and has proved himself .ot only capable of performing the arduous dutics of that office, but] Has showa himself ever watchful of l the county’s interest. If he will consent to become a candidate I feel | safein saying that Lie will receive a | very large vote in this section of the| county, and from what I can learn the candidacy would meet the n,p-i probation of the citizens of thei county generally, I say this with due respect to any gentleman who has been named as a candidate. 1f you hold this as an advertisement.

At the close of work yesterday on the' Georgia Pacific extension westward from Coalburg, the coti tractors were directed to suspend work and wer¢ paid off. An Age re portor learned from Maj. J. W. Johnson, president of the road, that the suspension was ordered at a meeting of the directors, which he attended in - New York about a week ago,and that the money troi bles east were the cause. These troubles had stopped work on ihe Sheffield road, with which the in tention was to connect, and for this reason there would not have been the same reason, even if there was the means, for closing the gap be tween Coalburg and the eastern end of the Columbus branch The ten miles next to Coalburg, the por tion on which work had begun and | was stopped yesterday,. would be| worth comparatively = little’ until the gap was closed,and it had been decided, therefore, that especially n such times ag the preseut it ‘would be best to wait until the line could be completed. When the di rectors of the Richmond and Daa ville extention company ord‘e_red the first ten miles built tey thought they would soon be able to go ahead with the remaiuing 30 odd mileg of the gap, but the tight ness of the money market, partly by stopping work on the Shefiield ir'ond, disappointed this expecta o B | Major Johnson vould nol ®ay when work wonld be resumed,l theugh he explained that the “stop would be only tempoary aad did linot mean the abandonment of the proposed completion of the road.| EHe safd the suspension Deed not: delay. the closing of tne gap,as the ‘ten miles could at any time be! completed before the rest of the !].ill&- : . In connection with money mas ters, the reporter suggested that il'zf;rc in Birmingham people natur ally failed to realize - the serious riess of the troubles. Maj, Johnson assented and added that a very short stay in N, Y. would suffice to bring any one to an appreciation of the difficultics. Aside from- the universal lack of confidence in the metropolis, however, there was ho reason for hard tineg. The country generally was in & geod .condition. Even the banks were better off than usual. Thosein N. Y, had on on hand an aggregate surplus of $13,000,000 above: what, they were required to have. It was estimated that the government and the divi dend-paying corporations would, put $60,000,000 in circulation this month id New York——Birmingham{ Age. ; i farrie Rock, Ark., July 7.—The Gazette’s Fayettoville, W Ark., spe cial says: Yesterday mornimg a heavy waterspout biroke near the head of ‘Drakes creek, Madison county, covering a radiug of 15 or 20 milés.
