EDITORIAL NOTES.
Former* are now sowing grain.
The much needed ruin put in
an appearance yeaterday.
Mr. Wales Wynton, a brilliant
young journalist, died at Birming
ham, Ala , last week.
Supply bills and guano notes
are engaging the attention ol
farmers at this time.
At Fairview, Ky., <on last Sun
day, a Baptist Church was dedi
cated on the site of Jefferson
Davih’ birth place. .Mr. Davis
was present and made a few re
marks. Rev. C. H. Strickland
preached the dedication sermon.
Rev. Sylvanus Landrum, of
New Orleans, one of the leading
Baptist ministers of the South,
died at the residence of his son-in
law, Rev. B. W. Bussey, in
Brunswick, (ia., on the 16th inst.
He wns the father of Rev. W. W.
Landrum, who was pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Augusta u
few years ago.
The Edgefield, S. corres
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle
says: “Maj. W. T. Gary flattered
his Honor Judge Pressley so much {
last Tuesday by telling him that
he favored the older Pressley who |
whs killed by R. T. Jones that his ,
Honor refused to try the case and
it was continued until the .March
term of the Court.”
The following from the Augus
ta Chronicle certainly furnishes
food for reflection: “Since the j
war, Southern people have lost
money enough gambling, in slocks
and produce, to own every rail
road and factory in their section,
to say nothing of lowering muni
cipal debts. Beware of the temp
tation. You will leave your finan-|
cial bones behind if you venture]
into the Wall Street den.”
The Sparta Ishmnelite continues
on the right line in the following
paragraph: “Will the present
Legislature pass a general tax as
sessors’ law ? There isn’t a soli
tary sound reason against the en
actment of such a law. The good
of the State demands its passage,
and a failure to do so will put the
present body on a par with pre
ceding ones in the matter of inex
cusable neglect of duty on that
line.”
President Cleveland displayed
good sense in refusing the title of
LL. D. from liar van! I’niveisity.
It is a fitting rebuke on colleges
that have been grinding out titles
at n rapid rate tor the past tew
years; titles that confer empty
honors and carry in themselves no
real element of power. If a few
more prominent characters will
imitate the example of the Presi
dent it will soon put a stop to the
wholesale rate of dealing out such
chaff.
Sound dectrine from the Al
bany News and Advertiser: ••In
dividuality of opinion should char
acterize every newspaper. A pa
per that stands like a reed to be
shaken by every change in public
opinion or that bends its will in
obedience to the wish ot a faction
deserves to be expunged from the
face of the earth. Consistency is
a jewel only when it is maintained
with firmness of honest convic
tions. Above every other consid
eration truth and justice should
influence the utterances of a public
journal. People may honestly dit-1
fer with it in their opinions, but
all must accord to his neighbor
the right to hold his own convie-.
Uous.’’
GAINESVILLE LETTER
AW INTEIIERTINO letter from ouk
HARLEM BOY.
Editors Sentinel :
As I have seen no communica
tion from this section of the State,
in the Sentinel lately I will
write you another short letter.
The cold weather has scattered
the summer visitors like chaff
before a Northern gale, ami our
town presents rather a deserted
appearance now, but the farmers
are crowding in with their product,
ami our m< rchaiits are very busy,
-o we do not mi«s them so much
las wo would st any other season
]of the year. Cotton is coming in
by the wholesale, and every other
kind efcountry produce you could
possibly imagine. I never saw as
many fine a pies before ;n my
life, as are brought to this market.
There were seventeen wagon loads
|on the PuMic Square at onetime
, the other morniu , and they arc
invariably very largo and fine.
Gainesville feels somewhat
elated over the success which has
] attended its efforts to secure the
Augusta and (Jhattanooga Railroad.
We feel pretty certain that trains
will be running between Gainesville
and Augusta in less than twelve
months, and between Gainesville
jam! Chattanooga in twentyfour
months. Surveying has already
began in this county, ami work
will soon be commenced. Charier
i has been applied for, for a railroad
i from here to Cartersville, to be
{known ns the Gainesville and
Cartersville Railroad. The
authorities say they will also
I have that road through in twelve
' months. So, you see, Gainesville
will soon be quite a railroad
■ centre. Efforts arc being made to
get the railroad shops situated
here, although it is very doubtful
whether they will succeed. A
I'nion depot is also talked of and
I expected, and altogether, 1 don't
think 1 know ot a town which has
brighter prospects of the future
than this, our “Mountain City.”
Another cold blooded murder]
was committed twelve miles above
I here, at Lula, Ga., on the night
|of the 15th. The murder was
committed in four'or five steps of
where John Coffee murdered depu
ty Merritt. This country is pretty
rough, especially up above here.
There have been four murders
committed within twelve miles of
Gainesville, in the last four
months, one of them right in town.
Only a few weeks ago a man shot
at the proprietor of the Arlington
Hotel here. He was a hack driver,
and for some reason or other the
proprietor wanted him to eat in
the kitchen. He was a white man
and refused to do so and the pro
prietor pushed him out of the door
and turned and walked back into
the room, and the man shot at him
at about 15 steps distance. It was
a pretty narrow escape, as the
man is considered about the best
shot in this neighlmrhood. He
said ho was too mad to shoot
straight or ho would not have
missed.
The city authorities of Gaines
ville have purchased about fifty
acres of land, comp ised of gulches,
ravines and hills, which they are
converting into a mammoth park.
They have been at work on it
some time, and already have a
nice pond or lake and walks and
drives cut all around in the bill
sides. It will be a beautiful place
when finished and will add greatlv
to the attractiveness of the citv.—
It is situated out on the suburbs,
directly on the street ear line, and
the work of improvmeut is pro
gressing rapidly.
The Georgia Match Factory in
this city, which has been shut
down tor some time, has passed
i into new hands and will soon be in
■ operation again. This is the only'
• match factory >n the State, ami we
hope it will sucoeed.
A few of the young people of
Gainesville have lately organized
a literary and musical club to la*
known as the “Hawthorne Cir
cle.” They have had several meet
ings, which were a source of great
enjoyment to all who were fortun
ate enough to attend. There are
about foity names enrolled, and
the memltership is increasing
every week. Speaking of literary
, clubs brings very forcibly to the
mind of the writer the many happy
evenings he has spent at the club
in Harlem. I hear that it is on a
big boom now, and I sincerely
hope it will continue to be so, as I
look forward with impatient anxie
ty to the time when, in the near
future, I shall meet with you all
again.
Well, I guess I have written
enough for this time, so adieu.
Truly,
Alpha.
OUR NEIGHBORS-
GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES IN
OUR SISTER COUNTIES.
M TH FFIE,
McDuffie Journal: There are some
men in this world who think they
have done something smart when
they have succeeded in “snaking” an
editor out of small sums for subscrip
tion. We keep a “dead beat” book for
the names of these small sharks. There
are others who get mad if asked to
pay the small amounts they owe. We
keep a list of these also, and promptly
enter their names on our “jackass
book.” There are some interesting
statistics at this office.
Elder Norton has been re-elected
pastor of the Baptist church in
Thomson. This is a fitting recognition
of the services of one of the ablest
and most zealous and faithful
ministers this church has ever had.
During his ministerial charge a large
number of new members have been
added, many reclaimed and the church
greatly revived.

Mr. W. B Hunt showed us an egg,
this week, on which there are several
singular looking splotches, and two
letters, J and O, pretty well defined.
The characters were on the egg when
it was found in the nest. We do not
suppose they indicate the coming of
good times, the millennium, or any
thing of the sort.
Rev. James M. Hall, of Baldwin
county, and who has been in Macon
for the past two years attending
Mercer University, for the purpose of
more thoroughly preparing himself
for his minsiterial duties, died very
suddenly in Macon on Saturday last.
He leaves a wife and two small
children and a host of relatives and
friends in Hancock and Baldwin
i counties. His death was the result of
I
a cold which turned into pneumonia
only a few days before. The Ish
maelite tenders its deepest sympathies
to the bereaved ones. He was buried
at Black springs, in Baldwin county.
This spring, the Ishmaelite printed
an advertisement from Mr. Porter
Fleming, of Augusta, offering an
improved variety of cotton seed to the
farmers. Mr. J. R. Lewis bought a
bushel of the seed and planted them.
On Tuesday last he sold two bales of
cotton that he raised from them, in
Sparta, at 10 cents per pound—2
cents or more above the market. This
shows that it pays to advertise good
cotton seed and to buy them—a very
interesting double lesson.

Clipper: Mr. Noah Stone can boast
of the fattest hog in the county. The
eyes have closed up and he has just
opace left to breathe.
Sheriff T. N. Shurley is becoming
one of tlio most extensive merchants
in town. He disposes of a stock in
short order and never has any shelf
worn goods left on hand.
We regret to state that Mr. James
Wellborn has been quite sick during
the last week. However, his health
is now improving and we hope to
soon meet him again on our streets.
On last Monday a negro boy by
the name of Marshall Ruff was
severely whipped by Jep M. Cody’s
clerks for petty thievery. The same
negro has been whipped once before
for the same offence besides being
engaged in other misdemeanors, and
he still appears unrepentant. Howev
er, the dose will last him sometime
and he will not soon repeat his
knavery.
