Valedictory.
With this issue our connection
with the Recokukr ceases, and in
leaving the stage of journalism we
return our heart felt thanks to a gen¬
erous public /or the liberal support
extended to us. Our efforts to make
the Recorder a first-class paper
have been duly appreciated, as evi¬
denced by the liberal patronage
bestowed upon it. Our voyage on
the sea of journalism, though short,
has been pleasant and profitable to
us, as the Recorder has ever moved
Nmoothly and tranquilly along, and
has never for one moment labored
under any financial embarrassment.
A new and perhaps more profita¬
ble field of labor has been selected
by us, hence the sale of the Recor¬
der to Mr. J, A. Peacock, a gen¬
tleman well and favorably known to
our people. Mr. Peacock was rear¬
ed in Johnson County, is fully iden¬
tified with the people and justly
• merits a liberal patronage. lie lias
our best wishes for the success ol
the Recorder. Respectfully,
W. A. Tomp.vins.

Salutatory.
In entering upon the field of jour
ralism, custom makes it obligatory
upon us to introduce ourself and
make known our principles.
We shall labor to promote the
peace and prosperity of the people,
and shall use every effort in the ex¬
ecution of law, the dissemination of
knowledge, and the advancement of
morals. We shall look well to tin
interest of our common country, and
shall never lose our zeal and love tor
those grand and glorious I lomocratic
principles, which even germed with
the birth of our government, We
shall at all times have a proper re¬
gard for public opinion, but do not
propose to make that opinion our
rule of action, unless consistent
with our views of what is right
and proper. For the person who
makes the opinion* of others his
rule of action, of course, stands
ready at all times to • adopt, anv
sentiment however false, provided it
only meets with popular favor. Such
si man can never be trusted, as lie
lias no independence of mind no
moral courage to obey the dictates
of bis own conscience, and like the
vane upon a church steeple, is ready
at any moment to be changed by
every breeze of popular opinion. \\ o
shall endeavor to show up everything
in its true light, regardless of the
opinion of others, whenever
public interest shall so demand.
In short we shall endeavor to
keep the Recorder up to its
present standard, and if possible im¬
prove the same. Respectfully,
J. A. Peacock.

County Newspapers.
A gentleman writes to us that, his
county paper is so poor that lie lias
stopped it; therefore sends us three
dollars for the Trade List. “We re¬
peat that we do not want subscribers
on such terms. A mail’s county pa¬
per is worth more to him than all
the papers in the world; it it is not
it is his own fault. If the county pa¬
per is properly encouraged, it may
he relied upon for information of
more value to the people in whose
interest it is issued than can he found
in ail city papers in the United
8tate. No man can afford to bp with¬
out the paper that publishes the offi¬
cial advertisements of his county,
the public sales, markets, court nows,
and other local intelligence. If the
paper is poor, the people are more at
fault than the publishers for not
giving it a liberal patronage. How¬
ever poor the county paper may he,
it is always worth more than it costs
to those interested in the affairs of
the county.”— Cim'imutti. Trade

The new version of the Bible will
not meet a very large sale among
those who already have aversion to
the Scriptures.
Bishop Doane, of Albany, thinks
that the revised New Testament is
“inferior to the translation made at
the direction of King James.”
Judge Robertson will not receive
his commission as collector of the
port of New York until July 1. This
leaves him free to make his light a

“Emma Abbot has invented anew
kiss for next season.” She must have
had some assistance, for two heads
are not only better tHan one in the
construction of such a piece of mech¬

There are 42,Out) postmasters ap¬
pointed by the postmaster general
and 2,000 by the President. Add to
this the army of clerks and employes
and one can get an idea of the pat¬
ronage of the post-office depart¬
ment.— Wash i n/jton Star.
The New York Tribune, is remind¬
ed by Platt’s going about in a lone¬
some way looking for Conkling, of
the blubbering boy at the centenni¬
al, 1 who being asked what he was
boobooing about answered angrily:
“I can’t find my mother—I told tin
darned thing she’d lose in*.”
A convention of the Sheriffs
of the different counties of the State
will be held in Atlanta, on the 4th
of July next for the purpose of adop¬
ting measures leading to the more
efficient and speedy execution of tin
criminal laws of the State, and such
other matters as may come be fori
the convention.
The Nashville American bitUrlv
remarks: “There is nothing smart
and nothing new in the remark made
by some would-be wit that Dob In
gersoll lias made a, fortune out oi
lull. We are taught by ordinary
observation that all fortunes an
made out of hell, and by the ease ol
Dives that the owner, sometimes a
least, repairs to enjoy than in licl.,’’
While the circus with “the most
beautiful women in America” was
parading through Chicago the other
day, the absurd cry was railed by a
practical joker: “The §10,000 beauty
lias got loose!” The crowd ran in
every direction. Some women faint¬
ed, and one was thrown through a
window, nearly killing a telegraph
operator. The Chicago people are
not accustomed to “§10,000 beau¬
ties.”
The States of the Union which
have more women than men are Al¬
abama, Connecticut, Georgia, Lou¬
isiana,Maryland,Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Ten¬
nessee and Virginia. The greatest
excess of females is in New York,
where it is 71,000, and the least in
Louisiana, where it is 3,000. The
total excess of women in these fifteen
States is 300,000.

The Picayum says “that Gen.
Grant is irritated.” II e shouldn’t
wonder. Instead of being greeted
oti his return foom Mexico with a
grand “reception” such as he had
been accustomed to, to be cooped
up on a steamer in quarantine for
three days with no other employ¬
ment than lighting the mosquitoes
and reading the newspaper accounts
of his friend Oonkling’s humiliating
overthrow, is enough to irritate “a
bigger man than old Grant.”— Sa¬

A woman at Capo Girardeau, Mis¬
souri, who had suffered from a hus¬
band's neglect, traced him to a bar¬
room, where he was playing cards
with several companions. Setting a
covered disli site had in her hands
down upon the table, she said: “Pre¬
suming, husband, that you were too
busy to eonie to dinner, I have
brought you yours,” and departed.
With a forced laugh he invited his
friends to dine with him, but cn re¬
moving the cover from the dish found
only a slip of paper on which was
written: “I hope you will enjoy your
meal; it is the same your family
have at home.”
Tlic Age ofthe Earth.
The age of the earth is placed bv
some at five hundred million years,
by others one hundred million years;
and still others, of later time, among
them the Duke of Argyll, places it
at ten million years. None place it
lower than ten million, knowing what
processes have been gone through.
Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other
planets differ so much from the
earth is that they are in a so much
earlier or later stage of existence.
The earth must become old. New¬
ton surmised, although he could give
no reason for it, that the earth would
at one time lose all its water and be¬
come perfectly dry. Since then it
lias been found that Newton was cor¬
rect. As the earth keeps cooling it
will become porous, and great cavi¬
ties will lie formed in the interior,
which will take in the water. It is
estimated that this process is now in
progress, so far that the water di¬
minishes at about the rate 'the
thickness of a sheet of writing pa¬
per each year. At this rate,in 0,000,
000 years, the water will have sunk
a mile, and in 15,000,000, years every
trace of water will have disappeared
from tiie face of the globe. The ni¬
trogen and oxygen in the atmosphere
are also diminishing all the time. It
is in an appreciable degree, hut the
time will come when the air will he
so thin that no creatures we know
could breathe it and live; the time
will come when the world cannot
-upport life. That will he the peri¬
od of old ag“, and then will come
death.— Prof. It. Proctor.

A Startling iSiigac.-diori.
A learned German ro.Vs.ior ! •U'
raised a question which may well
startle us. He claims that tiie earth
is increasing in volume annually with
abnormal rapidity, and that, this in¬
crease in bulk naturally ncreascs the
a .traction of gtvtvitaMou, while it
diminishes the speed of the globe in
i s motion around the -run. As this
ball grows larger in circumference it
na uraiiy draws nearer to the sun,
uul rs it slows down in its orbital
mot.on, our seasons are iceessariU
dsturbed. i, it keeps on increasing
n bulk at the ptcsciit ratio it must
limost stop revolving! nt r.dv, which
will prolong our summers fearfully
if not our winters, and if the centri¬
fugal force decreases, as it must with

crease of rise, we must eventually
