A Public Sale in ’49.
Interesting sidelights on the
manners and customs of by gone
days are found in old advertise
ments, one of which was recently
reproduced by an exchange,and
quotes a public sale announce
ment published al Versailles,
Ky., 81 years ago.
Some may wonder why anyone
possessed of the large and varied
assortment of wordly goods list
ed would want to leave Kentucky.
Anyway, here is the advertise
ment:

I am leaving for Oregon Territory

A Russell Convention.
By Ralph Smith
It was a Russell convention,
and, as such things go in Crack
erland, “it was the same only dis
ferent” —the same in that chief
interest centered in the success
ful candidate for governor;diff
erent in that itbrought to Macon
a new crop of delegates ... “The
King is Dead—Long Live the
King" summed the sentiment of
the convention, which indicates
that human nature is the same
the world over, certainly no less
so in Georgia today than hereto
fore when the unterrified demo
cratic hostshave foregathered at
Macon to name their standard
bearer and the governor of the
state! . . . But the sentiment was
seboed more vociferously than
usual—and that, too, was natural
seeing as how the young man
hood of Georgia, for the most
part, made up the personnel of
the convention.
Dick Russell—young Dick, if
you please —is the idol and th< ;
leader of the young men of thej
state. He is a young man lim
self—33, you know, so it w- n t
surprising that the Macon con I
vention “featured" faces not
heretofore familiar at these bi
ennialaffairs ... Lawrence Camp.;
for example, permanent chair j
man of the convention, and, now
ex officio, chairman of the state
democratic executive committee,
is a “youngster," and yet he
handled a rather trying situation
with firmness, fairness and de
termination . . . And Hugh Peter [
•on. the Ml. Vernon editor, is a-
young man, too, yet. he seemed
very much at home on the floor,
shaping the course of events;
that, too, applies to Jud Wilhoit,
Warreutoniar; and so, too, may
it be said of Judge Little, the
temporary chairman ... Hugh
Mclntyre’s gray hairs belie his
age.
