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.
