ended last Sunday. Now we hope
to hear nothing more of hydro¬
phobia or mad-dogs.
—We would say to the person
who wrote us last week under the
non Me plume of “Primitive,” that
his communication was unavoidably
erowded out. It appears in this is¬
sue.
—If your watch, clock, sewing
machine or anything of the kind
needs repair, carry it to Mr. J. A.
Hogue. He is a gentleman well
skilled in his profession, and never
fails to give perfect sath faction.
— We learn that Elder T. M. Har¬
ris has jusfcsconcluded a series of

good was accomplished. Under his

flying colors,
—Last week we were brought

into this house at an early day.
—Hon. J. H. Polhill and Col.
.Tames Stapleton have been nominat¬
ed by the Democratic party of Jef¬
ferson county as candidates for the
Legislature. TUe are personally ac¬
quainted with both of these gentle¬
men, their ability cannot be ques¬
tioned, and we think Jefferson coun¬

The Situation.
While much bitterness and rancor
exist in ti e Gubernatorial contest,
ind the candidates are busily en¬
gaged in dismissing the merits of
each other, it is a source of some
gratification to know that in a ma¬
jority of the Congressional districts
the party is holding firmly fo its or
■ organization. On Wednesday, the
1st, instant, Gen. Phil Cook was
unanimously nominated at Ilawkins
ville for re-election to Congress
from the Third district. On the
same day the convention of the
Eighth district met in Augusta, and
the name of Hon. A. II. Stephens
was presented by Judge James S.
Hook, and the sage of L.b rty Hall
was nominated by acclamation to be
his own successor in Congress.
We truly deplore the confusion
and division which now exist in the
Democratic party of Georgia on the
Gubernatorial question. We hon¬
estly think neither of the candidates
are properly before the people,
therefore we shall not, for the pres¬
ent, commit ourself nor advocate the
claims of either party.
Dissolution.
The firm of Blackshear & Haines
is this day dissolved by mutual con¬

Tlic Atlanta Constitution.
During the coining year—a year that
will witness the progress and culmination
of the most interesting political contest that
has ever taken place in this country—
ever} citizen and every thoughtful person
will be compelled fo rely upon the news¬
papers for information. Why not get tin*
best? Abroad the Constitution is recog¬
nized, referred to and quoted from as the
leading Southern journal—as the organ and
vehicle of the best Southern thought and
opinion—and at home its columns are con¬
sulted for the latest news, the freshest
comment, and for all matters of special
and current interest. The Constitution
contains more and later telegraphic news
than any other Georgia paper, and this
particular feature will be largely added to
during the coining year. All its facilities
for gathering the latest news from all parts
of the country will he enlarged and sup¬
plemented. The Constitution is both
chronicler and commentator. Its editorial
opinions, its contributions to the drift of
discussion, its humorous and satricul para¬
graphs, arc copied from one end of the
country to the other. It aims always to
lie the brightest and the best—newsy, orig¬
inal and pieplant. It aims particularly to
give the news impartially anil fully, and to
keep its readers informed of the drift of
current discussion by liberal but concise
quotations aims, from all its contemporaries. It
in short, to more than ever deserve
to be knowji as “the leading Southern
newspaper.” his Rill Arp letters, will continue to
contribute unique which grow
in sovory humor week by week. “Old Si”
will add his quaint fun to the collection of
good things, and “Uncle Remus ” lias in
preparation a series of negro myth legends,
tion. illustrating In the folk-lore of the old planta¬
every lie respect the- Constitution
for 1880 will better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution is a careful¬
week, ly edited compendium contains the of the news of the
and best and freshest
matter to be found in any other weekly
from a daily office. Its news and miscella¬
neous contents are the freshest and its
market reports the latest.
The Southern Cultivator. —This, the
liest, the most reliable and most popular of
Southorn agricultural journals is issued
from the printing establishment of the Con¬
stitution. It is still edited by 3Ir. W. I.
Jones, and is devoted to (lie best interests
of the farmers of the South. It is sent, at
reduced rates with the weekly edition of
the Constitution.
