The Newnan poet office I ecomes vacant March 22, the first of Pres idential appointment, in the State. There are 16 applicants, two of whom araladhs. Almost every one has signed each peti'ion, and Congrcs - man Harris is thus nquired to lissome all the responsibility in making a recommendation to the President. Larry Gantt, of the Athens Ban ner-Watel’inar, is uniting old king alcohol right and left through the columns of hi < paper. The present campaign is piubably the hottest , * ver « aged in Clarke, and no one is . doing more valiant fighting than the wide awake scribe already mentioned When a great public it sue is at stake Gantt is sure to be found on the side rfihe peop't’s first interests. A Homer cone>pondcnt writes as follows : Homer is one of the n ost peaceful and orderly towns in the btate. Since the sale of spirituous liquors was stopped, in 1876, by the raiosal of the Ordinary to grant license, our town h.ns improved mo’- ally, socially and financially, and the value of real estate in the county advanced to an average fnr above Unit of any of the surrounding coun ties.

Nevertheless, it is a move in •he right direction —a move towards the consumation of that, which, eve iry good citizen who realizes the enormity’ of the wrongs Inflicted up on socity, by the sale anil intemperate use of alcoholic drinks will not hesi tate to sustain. But in order to make the move still more effective, a public sentiment must back it; a public sentiment that will he vigi lent to watch and bring to justice and punishment.violation, infractions and attempted evasions of the law. Thomas Jefferson once said, “The habit of ,intemperance by u.en in office, has occasioned more injury’ to the public, and more trouble to me, than ail other causes; and were I to commence uy administration again, the fust question I would ask respecting a candidate for office would be, does he use Ardent Spir its.” T> at resolution of Jefferson should he pnt in practice by every voter in the United Sta’esand the term, use. should be broadened to embrace not only the individual use, but also its corrupt use in riebu itching vo ters. It has been demonstrated that while prohibition is good as far as it g< es. It stops far short of the de sired rciults, especially in election times. Those who witnessed the protracted debauch incident to the late election, realize that the hope of advancitg the dependent classes of our community upon a higher plain of civilization, thus elevating the general tc.ne of sveiety, is futile so long as this class is subject to the evil influence of frt quent,protracted, and free debauches, which are positively disastrous to the general public; as well as absolutely dest uctive to the debauchcee. lam satisfied there are eight hundred voters in Douglas county, who condemn the use of ar dent spirits as an deetionering as sistant. Now let us put the seal of our coi damnation upon the prac ice. Let some one in each pre< inct circu late a declaration, pledging ourselves not to vole for-a candidate, who as a candidate, treats or < tiers to treat a voter, either at a public bar, or from a private pocket grocery. Two hundred published t-ignatjres to such a declaration, would accom plish more towards the suppression if the use of Ardent &piiii-s for cor rupt purposes; for the candidate who would disregard the public protest of eight hundred of bi* constituents, would thereby express his own un worthlnvSs and utter unfitness f,r any public trust.’ Tne end and means, both being goo- 1 , uo j istifica tion is needed. Tin* pu die would be benefitted, the c. ndi'kite would be b'*mfited, and eket d upon his own merit, and last, tho’ uy no means least, the poor dnpu who sells bis vote for a curse up m himself an I his family, finding no mtrlfet. would have a chance if he had the disposi tion, to become a respectable meui b. r of society. Herald: While some of the other counties m Georgia have been having their sensations, old Jackson now 8 vps to the front and produces hers. On last vdnesday, while some negroes w< re clearing up a field on what is known as the Flournoy place, in Clarkes’oro district, of this county, they came across a tree that looked rather pe culiar so much so that they spared it from the rava-es of the «x. Mr. Martin, who now owns the place, came to where they were working and examined the tree. The tree is about fifteen feet high and nine inches in diameter, and the li übs commence at the distance of fl-e feet from ilie ground, and look like the br-inchcsof the regular cotton plan - , a, d each limb Iks cotton b< 1s ; thickly stock on it, in which is j hidden away the finest kind of cut-1 ton. equal in quality to any ever rais d iu the South. The limbs arc about as t hick on it as those of a cedar tree. The discovery of this tree has created a great sensation and parties are coming from long distances to gt t some of ti e seed to she if luey can’t rai*e some tre< a like this one. We have a specimen of the cotion in this . w 1 l» any one can see. Mr. Martin, who uave the informal ion to ns. is one of the moat reliable ci iz -ns of the county, and say« Uieee who are inclined to be incredulous can see f*r themselves by making a visit to the place.
