/ -J* The Railroad.
We are reliably informed that
Dr. J. I. Irwin, superintendent of
the Sandersville and Tennille Rail¬
road, has just returned from Savan¬
nah, and while there had a conver¬
sation with W. G. Raul, vice-presi¬
dent, and Win, Rogers, general su¬
perintendent of the Central Railroad,
concerning from Tennille the proposed railroad
via Wrightsvilk to
Dublin, Georgia. It will he remem¬
bered by many of our readers that
Dr. Irwin was one of the committee
appointed with sometime ago Sandersville to confer
the officers of the
and Tennille Railroad, and also the
officers of the Central Railroad, to
ascertain what assistance these
roads would render in building the
proposed road. It would now be
a good idea for the chairman of said
committee to confer with Dr. Irwin
on the matter; and we suggest the
propriety of a meeting being called
at of an opinion early from day so that an expression
him might be ob¬
tained, and then let us set to work
and build the road at once. The
Sandersville and Tennille Railroad,
as small as it appears, has declared
a dividend of 7 per cent; and' we
see road no reason be why this proposed
cannot built at once, and
likewise made a paying institution.
We hope the chairman will call a
meeting at an early day.
A Trip to Macon.
We have just returned from Macon, and
are truly sorry that the lack of space pre¬
vents us from giving a full account of our
recent travels. Suffice it to say that this
trip, like all previous trips to Macon, was
pleasant to us and profitable to the Recor¬
der. A single glance at the advertising
columns of our paper will convince anyone
that the Recorder is highly esteemed and
liberally patronized by the business men of
that place. The merchants of Macon arc
progressive and enterprising, and but few
p 'ople can realize the immense proportion
the wholesale trade of this place has as¬
sumed in the past few years.
We had the pleasure of calling upon
Messrs. Waxclbaura & Rro.. a firm that is
well and favorably known to all the mer¬
chants of this and adjoining States. They
carry an immense stock, and by fair deal¬
ings and low prices have secured a liberal
and most enviable patronage. To our
merchants and the public generally we
would commend (his firm as being all right
in every respect.
\\ e also called at the manmiolh clothing
establishment of Messrs. W inship A Cal¬
laway. This house for many years has been
regarded as one of the leading hat and
clothing houses in I've State. We commend
the firm of Moasrs. Win.ship A Callaway
to all persons in need of goods in their line,
as they are gentlemen, who, by honest
dealings and untiring energy, have ■» •cured
the extensive patronage they so much
merit.
Success'.
We arc taught by moral philosophy that
the character receives a cast, from those
with whom we associate. If this princi¬
ple he true, and no person can doubt its
truth, how essential to our spiritual neces¬
sities, as well as temporal enjoyments, that
we always select good companions. And
we know of no better companion than a
well-conducted newspaper. We have used
every effort to make the Recorder a first
class weekly paper, and indispensable to
every household. Our selections have been
moral, our locals pithy, and our editorials
prudent and truthful. In fac t, we have la¬
bored faithfully to make the Recorder a
good companion. Have we succeeded?
Let the words of commendation and the
liberal patronage which is being bestowed
upon the Recorder answer the question.
This is our fifth month, and to-day we issue
over 700 copies, and our columns will show
tlie estimation that is placed upon it as an
advertising medium. In order to give the
usual amount of matter on the inside we
arc forced to use much smaller type, though
we hope to enlarge our paper til an early
day.
----«--
Pay Up.
Superior Court commences in
Wriglitsville on next Monday, and
wc shall expect all persons indebted
to the Recorder, by subscription or
otherwise, to come forward and set¬
tle at that time.
Friends, we have served you faith¬
fully, and have assiduously labored
to give you a paper first-class in all
of its appointments. If we have
failed it has not been from a lack of
energy or perseverance on our part.
So come along and settle with us.
Remember that all machinery needs
constant lubrication—in other words
we cannot run a newspaper success¬
fully without money.

llad Conduct.
The midnight revelry of two
young men from an adjoining coun¬
ty last night, replenished the deplet¬
ed condition of our town treasury
by the addition of ten dollars to its
funds. The conduct of these young
men was indeed outrageous and
justly merits the condemnation it
has received from the good people
of our town. Wo have been request¬
ed to withhold the names of the
parties and w ill do so on account of
the respect wc entertain for the feel¬
ings of their parents.
Wriglitsville High School.
Wrightsville, Editor Recorder: Ga., Sept. Please 21, 1880.
allow
me space in your valuable paper to
express what we think to he the
unanimous voice of this entire com¬
munity : That the trustees of the
Wriglitsville Academy were fortu¬
nate in securing for another year the
services of the learned, dignified and
courtly A. gentleman and scholar Prof.
W. Moore. If there is one thing
a community should look to more
than another it is their teacher, the
one in whose hands they entrust the
schooling of their children. Next
to the holy sanctuary is the instruc¬
tion our children get at school, and
we do feel warranted in saying,
from nearly a years acquaintance
with Prof. Moore, his equal as an
educator can scarcely be found; with
collegiate honors from one of the
first institutions of learning in this
country, classical education, a thorough besides English and
of great
research and experience, with de¬
cidedly instruction, superior talent for impart¬ j
ing qualifications and with all precmi-l these
we think he is
'nfatly fitted for teaching, and we[ I
think the patrons and people gen¬
erally should congratulate the trus¬
tees upon their wise and fortunate
selection, and we do bespeak for
Prof. Moore for the as
well as next year, a liberal patron¬
age. Our limited experience is, if
your child is started by a second
take rate or incompetent if teacher it will
years, not a lifetime, of diffi¬
cult training to get him out of his
how errors,and spell impressions. For instance:
to and pronounce a word
correctly, and just vice versa with a
competent teacher. Therefore, in
conclusion, let us all, united as one
man, put our shoulders to the wheel
and see to it that Prof. Moore next
year gets the support of the people,
at least adequate to his unbounded
worth and merit. A Friend.
