Drifts From Our Exchanges.
The youth who turns the wheel for the
Monroe Advertiser is evidently straining
himself to get up a difficulty with us,
but as there is no skating riuk in For
syth, on account of the size of the girls
shoes, we shall have to let Henry down
easy.
The Washington letter iu the Monroe
Advertiser, from “our special correspon
dent,” is no doubt interesting- We had
a copy of it a year or two ago—it was in
teresting then.
The papers are generally fixing up
presidents just now. As soon as this
business is completed, smaller offices
will have to be filled.
Among all our State exchanges we
know of none that we more admire than
the Monroe Advertiser. It is an able,
honest paper, and it goes strong for
Bayard for the presidency. The only
objection we have to Bayard is a consti
tutional ‘one. If Delaware is in the
United States, we have never heard of it
before, and if Bayard is not a native, he
cannot be president. We always under
stood that Delaware was a little place
that the cars had to run through to get
to New York, but that it had no sover
eign individuality.
All the railroads have extended the
courtesy of free passes to the representa
tives of papers now attending the Press
Convention in Savannah, By special
invitation the convention will assemble in
tbe Hall of the Metropolitan Benevolent
Association.
Its so, but we can’t help it. Edwin
Booth took fify thousand dollars out of
Georgia for a very poor show which he
Tun a few weeks in this state, while all
the Methodist preachers iu Georgia only
got forty-five thousand dollars for the
whole of their last years work. The
Methodist Advocate complains of this
state of affairs, but all the advice we can
give the preachers is, if they want to
make money they better quit preaching
and go into the show business.
The coiu held by the Georgia national
banks on the tenth of last March, accord
ing to reports to the comptroller
of the curreuoy, amounted to $30,776 90.
This is hardly enough to lesume with,
but it is more than our neighbors held.
The Alabama banks only had 813,395;
South Carolina’s $12,821 ; Tennessee’s
$21,303 audFlorida’s sllO —Constitution.
We would like to know what the Con
stitution means by committing itself in
this way. There is more coiu iu one
bank in Georgia than the frivolous sum
of thirty thousand dollars.
Augusta wants a railroad to Rabun
Gap.
Carey Styles has removed from Albany
Where will the Col. hang out now?
The Acworth Sabbath sohool will pic

It is authoritatively stated that ex-
Governor Herschel Y. Johnson favors

Mrs. W.W, Harrall, of Eastman, while
riding horse back, suddenly checked the
animal which reared and fell backwards
upon her, crushing her ankle.
Mutters arc intensifying in southern
Georgia. Mr. A. H, McLeod, editor of
the W'adley Enterprise, was shot three
times by a young man named Battle, a
few days ago.
If it be true that Savannah is afflicted
with small pox, wc feel authorized to
state that. Col. Sawyer and H. W. J.
Ham,, D. D., will forego the pleasure of
studying frontier life at Tybes.
Mr. T. J. Jennings, of Augusta, lately
tried the experiment of sending two Sa
vannah river shad, frozen in ioe, to a
friend in Liverpool. The fish arrived
there still embedded in the ice and in a
perfect state preservation.
We have reason to believe that Gen.
Colquitt and his friends, including those
journals friendly to his claims, expect
and hope to have the weight of the.pres
ent administrations influence in the con
vention to assemble. We have further
reason to think that Col. Hardeman and
his friends, including those journals fa
vorable to his cause, are looking to be
backed by the same po., ut ;> w ■ .
