Columbia Sentlnrt. I V. BALLARD. ) XM. ATKINSON, f Harizm, <i».. Nov. 26, 1880. "’"pRICH, 11 00, IN ADVANCE. 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. HANCOCK. Sparta Ishmaelite: Rev. Arnold Howell col’d, was killed by a falling burning tree top near his home Nov 5 sth. Ho was a faithful servant of the Master. 5 A Tried. in the Crucible.

B.—Repairing of all kinds by Experts only. J3t 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. WARREN. 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. A. J. GOULEY, Late of Wm.
