shc gucmi Wjsta gups. , —— L . .~x , •■ . . - A. M . Cl. RIJSSKLL, Editor Sf Proprietor. lluena Vista., Marion Cos., (in. FIiiDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22d, 1875. A Wordtotho Daily Press. We have this to say to our dailies; If you send us your weekly editions as exchanges lor our paper, we shall make it a rule to forward the Aiigus to you once a month, as a just and equitable exchange. Our adoption of this plan will enable you to sec, in a few months, how useless your weekly editions are to us. The news contained in your weekly editions, by the time they arrive in our office, is too old for use, as we glean all news matter necessary for our paper, from more liberal dailies. We take the dailes tor the purpose' of gathering general intelligence in time for our weeklies. The dailies need the weeklies for the local con tained in them. The news contained in the dai'y is the same in all the dailies of the State of the same date, while the important portion of the country weekly—the local —is con tained in no other paper of its date. We, therefore, think that the country we kly in exchange for the city daily is a proper and equal exchange. Furthermore, the notices of the daily i ■ the weekly, is of great benefit to the daily; while the notices of the ■weekly by the daily, is comparatively oi „tle value to the weekly. The forme: yields subscribers, the latter almost nothing. A daily that is liberal with the country press will prosper, where other papers will fail. Witness the remarkable success of the Savannah Morning News, under the business management of Col. J. 11. Estill. There is not a more courteous or lib eral daily in the State, in its dealings with the country press, and it is con sequently the most prosperous, pop ular and independent of the Georgia Press. Col. Estill properly appre ciates the influence of its country cousins, and it will always receive their united support. . We close this our farewell the weekly editions of all daily papers, with the remark, that griping cour tesies from a newspaper are as dis tasteful and odious to us as hide bond favors from an individual. OUR EXCHANGES. The Seaport Aff/yl, of Bruns wick, again enlivens our sanctum with its cheerful presence. It is t always welcome. , “Butler Herald” a neat little newspaper published in an adjoining couuty, is the only “patent inside or out” that reaches Btycna Vista. All the olhers die on theAyiy here. Since its absorption'of the Adver tiser, the Savannah Morning News is undoubtedly the best' daily news paper iu Georgia. It/ is a model journal and we are truly proud of it. It has no superior in the South. One of the papers on our list is the Darien Ga zette. It is well conducted, and gives internal evidence df prosperity. The Uouston Home Journal, a wide-awake, newsy slice!, lias discov ered our whereabouts and calls upon usevery week. . f" juicest of k weekly the B.iiiibridge Dkmu l§iy.pT edited uvith ,'itpe feUyunl talent. A Ifekb'Tt A Sectarian Communications. The Buena Vista Argus is not a religious or denominational journal. We will therefore be compelled to re ject all communications containing sectarianism, doctrinal disputations, or anything tending to stir up ill feelings among the members of the various churches of our country. This paper represents no religious sect or doctrine. It is published iu the in terest of the people of this section, whether in the Church or out. Meth odist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Univer salist, Episcopal, and the world all have equal claims upon ns. We, therefore, cannot admit anything de trimental to any of them. Democra tic principles and moral rectitude arc the leading doctrines of the Argus; the development of this section, and the improvement and prosperity of the .people,.and tho overt hrow of the Radical party,its aim and object. It is due to its vital interests that no religious disputes arise among its cor respondents. GEORGIA NEWs. 9 Eggs cost fifty-cents per dozen in Brunswick. Brunswick is subscribing for a shoe factor)' and tannery. Hon. Alex 11. Stevens is gradually re covering from his recent severe illness The Wayne Triumph waned until it now triumphs no mors. It lived until Goodbread, its editor, was its only sus tenance, then it choked to death. The Valdosta Times hastened to us as soon as we got under way. It is the most pleasant and agreeable of our exchanges. Charlie Pendleton is a clever writer and an experienced newspaper man. 'the Democrat thus sums up the bus iness out look of Bainbridge ; “Business is dull, merchants are. gloomy, cotton is down, farmers are mad and the devil is to pay generally in these parts” There are twenty-five towns and cities inGeorgia which have banish ed the retail liquor dealers from their borders. | On Wednesday, 14th inst, Gen. A. 11. Colquit and Col. T. J. Smith delivered addresses on agriculture Direct Trade, etc. to the cit izens of Cutliburt and grangers of Randolph County. The Monroe Advertiser has been greatly enlarged, and is now pub lishing a large supplement. The Advertiser is receiving a handsome support and it deserves it all. It is stated that the reported in vestigation of the alleged insanity ofS. B. Brinkley, the Coweta coun ty wife-murderer, is not to take place. The parties about New nan who appear to he interested want the Governor to order the investiga tion made; but the Govenor, hav ing suggested the legal method to those whose duty it is, if it is any one’s, to have the question settled, can go no further. Iran investi gation is not held’ Brinkley will he executed to day. The manuscript of Augusta J,Evans’s new story, “infelice” reached Mr G. W. Carleton last week, and was irnnie iately put in hand for issue bv October 1 It cov3rs nearly 900 fooi.-cap pag*s, and will make a vious works. In the new book the au thor of “St. Elmo” pays her respects to die critics by confining her preface to a quotation of Disraeli’ssuccinct definition of them in “Lothair.” Mr Carleton states his intention to print a first edi tion of 50,000 copies “infelice,” all of her previous books hsvingsoid beyond tins rate ; that is to say, a quarter of a million of her five books have ahead been distributed among American read ers. Communications. BENA VISTA ARGUS.] ed Heport. isert in your pa diich I feel would learned that by self unaccounta ble, my Methodist friends have been impressed with the idea that I feel for them and towards them a bitter ness very great, and that I have made use of expressions well calcula ted to wound their feelings. I avail myself of this, the earliest, opportu nity to declare truthfully my feelings in rcgajv! to that very large and justly influential body, as well in re gard to all other Christian organiza tions. My own convictions of Bible truth are too well known to require a statement in this communication. I have in the pulpit and in private circles uniformly declared myself in sympathy with the Baptist. lam one because my conviction of the lor chings of the Bible leads me to tho conclusion that in faith and practice they arc right. This no one can or will condemn who claims the right to the exercise of opinions iu their own behalf. Ido now and ever have ac corded to others the privileges I en joy, to vit: the right to form iny own opinions. I believe that I am honest, and I am not so illiberal as to believe others, who may differ with me, loss honest. I have a very high regard for every man or|woman professing to love God, whose life corresponds with his or tier profession, and I would not now, nor never saw the time when T would have done, one of the least of the children of the kingdom the slightest harm, either individually or collectively. I confess that 1 would be glad if all men could see alike, so that all Christians would be one “even as I and the Father arc one,” but I would not use any other than arugurnent, based on Bible truth, to bring about this result ol so much importance as to have call ed forth a prayer for its consumma. tion by oui blessed Jesus. I have written in kindness, and feel that it is due me that I should not be misunderstood by a people for whom I have so long felt none other than the kindest relations. Hoping if any have heretofore believed me capable of hostility, growing out o* differences of religious opinions, their minds may be disabused and that all may know that I love foul’s people. B. B. HINTON. General Presentments of Grand Jury of the October Term of Marion County Superior Court. We, the Grand Jury, duly drawn and sworn, to serve for the October Term of the Superior Court of Ma. rion County, commencing October 18th, 1875, after having disposed of all business, brought before us, res pectfully submit tho following Gener al Presentments: TAX ASSESSOR. We were pleased to notice the neat and legible manner, in whsi all the books and records of the coiihty have been kept. We have closely, scruti nized the books of the Tax Assessor and find that the free-holders of the county have made just and fair val uation of all their taxable property, and that the same lias been recorded with faithful exactness. county treasurer. N The County Treasurer’s books have been examined and found to be cor rect in every respect, and show that the Treasurer has been faithful and dilligent in the discharge of his d'ht.y. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE . . Tho books of the Justices of the Peace and all the other books of the county are in good order and condi tion, ueatly made up and properly posted. COUNTY JAIL. We are sorry to fmd that the jail is in wretched order, greatly out of repair and poorly kept. There ex-< ists a wide difference of opinion in our body in regard to the disposal of the jail. Fifteen members recom mend the building of anew aud more strong and durable structure for the jail, selecting another locality lor the jail lot and disposing of the old iron cage, now used for the safe keeping of prisoners. They also recommend that tiie Ordinary be authorized to appoint three Commissioners to draw up the plan, select the location and' superintend the building of the new jail. A minority, consisting of five of our number, (namely, C. W. Pierce, A. A. Elder, E. J. Ivey, .1. F. Hollis, and Moses 11. McGarrah, wlioj re quest that their names bo recorded) dissent from tho recommendation of the majority, and bog leave to re commend, instoad, that the jail be thoroughly repaired and the iron cage bo retained and used as hcrcto fore. COURT HOUSE. The committee on the condition of the Court House find it in good re pair. COUNTYCOURT. After a careful and thorough ex amination of the matter, we find that the County Court is a needless ex pense. Keeping it up costs a large outlay of money, for which there is little recompense to the county. The good derived from it is not commen surate with the expense of running it. We, therefore, feel it our duty to re commend, on the ground of economy, that it be abolished. HIS HONOR, JUDGE CRAWFORD. To his Honor, Judge Crawford, wc extend our thanks for his courteous demeanor, polto attention and good counsels. Wc are much pleased with his judicial administration, and we heartily endorse and approve the appointment, by the Governor, ol Judge Mar in J. Crawford to the Judgeship of the Chattahoochee Cir cuit. SOLICITOR GENERAL. Our thanks are also due Solicitor General W. A. Little, whose indefat igable labors, in ferreting out crime and bringing criminals to punishment, have greatly redounded to the cause of justice and the safety of our lives and property. He lias given cheer ful and prompt attention to all of our requests, and lias been uniformly po lite and courteous. We recommend that these Gener al Presentments be published in the Buena Vista Argus, and spread up on the minutes. Jas. M. Gill, Foreman. M. IT. McGarrah, W. A.
