HON. A. H. COLQUITT,
u While in Atlanta last Tuesday, we
\aetGov. A. H. Colquitt and wife.
T|ie governor made some pleasant in
quiries about the people of Douglas
s ceulnty and said he always felt kindly
< toward the people of this county.
. When we say that Gov. Colquitt is, by
hSfiMßile of this county, esteemed as
<d(,cur ablest and best men, we
?lie almost universal sentiment
B®wll*ine people of this county. The
Governor is as jovial and affable as
ever, and is looking fine,and his charm
ing wife is one among the most intel
ligent ladies in the state, and for beau
ty cannot be excelled by any of her
age. Os this good man and woman
the people of Georgia have every rea
son to feel proud.
A New l.lfe of General tee.
J. M. Htoddart & Co., New York,
have just published “Memoirs of Rob
ert E. Lee,” by A. L. Long. General
Long was military secretary’ to Gener
al Lee, and in his work he has had the
assistance of General Marcus J. Wright.
' The volume contains 700 pages and is
handsomely illustrated. It contains
a large amount of historical informa
tion never before published, and pre
sents General Lee in his best light. It
is the best military history of the great
soldier that has yet appeared. Mr. J.
B. Kendrick is the general agent for
the sale of the book in this section.
Mr. Kendrick was a gallant Confeder
ate soldier, and it is to be hoped that
he will meet with a generous patron
age.— Constitution.

Douglasville needs a Hotel of 70 or

hotel and can find
men who will advance four thousand
dollars more. The bond to be issued
will draw 8 per cent per annum inter
est and payable in one, two and three
years. The Hotel will be owned by
those who put in the first four thous
and dollars, subject, of course, to the
mortgage above indicated. We are
of the opinion that our people ought
to jump at this offer and start the en«
ternriseat once. We need all such

We ought to subscribe this amount in
one day and press it through to com
pletion at an early day.
HVH.niNG ASSOCIATION.
Our people in Douglasville ought to
meet and organize a building associa
tion. It would do more in the way of
Improving our town than any other
thing that could la* started. Such as
sociations have been organized in a
great many of the cith-s and towns in
Georgia and Alabama, and have added
to each one wherever organized a con
siderable per ventage of the improve
ment; co-operation of the people is the
idea to carry through enterprises of
any kind. If we exptet to have u
town we must work tor it. There are
enough people in Douglasville now, if
they would go to work as they ought
to, to induce enterprises of one kind
and another to swell our population
to 3000 in 5 years. Let’s wake up
from our slumbers ami go to work ami
renew business. Who will be the flr t
man to take a step to organize a build
ing association in Douglasville? It we
were to do this we, could have in the
next twelve months established in our
town a <of ton JFnre House, a Hank
and a J/ofef qf 70 or 80 moms, ami a
great many other buildings could be
erected with pm|>er management.
fe*Let’s have a meeting and discussthese
and devise plans and means to
carriklhvm out. When we la-gin to
we will then fall on
plans to carfyout what we need.
A WEW RAI. RO AD PROPOSED.
We see from the Atlanta Constitu
tion that certnln gentlemen connected
with that paper. ami other citizens of
Atlanta, are trying to arrange plans to
build a new railroad wt-st from Atlanta
to connect with the head of navigation
in the neighborhood of Sheffield, Ala.,
on the Tennessee River, awl to connect
Atlanta with the Atlantic at either
Charleston, Savannah or Port Royal.
If thia rood could be Imilt, it would
give Atlanta competing railroad von- j
nectiow* in every direction. and she
would then have two railroads con
trolled by the city, Phis would la
the be*! railroad in the South, ami
would have more feeder* than any
railroad now hi operation in the s*>uth

I reference to the water and railroad
■eoonei’tions it would hare- h w ould
BeOtmeet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
E er with the very shortest line
wild lap built, ami would run

; His Farewell Speeds on Leaving
the City of Mexico.
) Just before leaving the City of Mex
' ico to return to his home in Savannah,
i ex-Minister Henry R. Jackson deliv
' ed the following speech:
“Next to my own I do like this
country. Grand, beautiful Mexico!
How happy would Ibe to render her
service! Hither I came with a hope
of doing something, however small it
may be, in the great work of drawing
her people as close to our own in aym- .
pathy as God has placed them in ter
ritory. But you,,my countrymen, who
have made your homes upon her bo
som, who are affixing permanent in
terests to her soil, you are the best dip
lomatists tor w’ork like this. By obe
dience to her laws, by respecting her
government, by promoting her wel
fare, above all, by honoring her na
tionality, you oan win for your coun
try the affections of her proudly sen
sitive but kind-hearted and courteous
people. I say by honoring her nation
ality, for We should never forget that
nationality Is the God-given life of a
people. Laws, constitutions and gov
ernments are at least the mere work
of man; but nationalities—these are
the creatures of God. The hand which
in cold blood would destroy a nation
ality is an impious, a Heaven defying
hand. It would poison a family, it
would murder a man; for, family and
nationality are all alike to the creat
ures of God.
THE COMING CIVILIZATION.
“A republic of republican nationali
ties held together by the one common
constitution given by Him in His ser
mon on the Mount, mast be the final
civilization of the world. What I said
when I came I repeat as I go—the re
publics of this continent can surely
prosper only b>’ the faithful discharge
of mutual obligations of all to each, of
each to all, of each to each. They
cannot afford to be false one to the
other, to demand anything which is
not clearly right, to submit to any
thing which is manifestly wrong.
They should rejoice with each other
in prosperity, they should aid each
■ other in distress. Had I the power
tonight I would give to the national
ity of Mexico, to the prosperity and
i happiness of her people, wings that
1 should bear them far above her snow
I capped mountains, up towards the e
l ternai Constitution.
1m •ur GoYernmenl a Failure?
Our di«i>atches inform us that the
Knights of Labor will consider thA
propriety of establishing a working
men’s congress, to meet in Waahing
’ ton each winter, and sit during the en
tire session of the United States con
gress. The object is to watch the leg
islation of the country and direct it in
the interests of tabor.
We have come to a pretty pass if it
♦ tafcestwogovvrnmetHelodo the work
' of one. Between the workingmen’s
1 Congress and the federal congress the
country will be between the devil and
the deep blue sea.
This is the outgrowth of the law and
order leagues organized in some of the
northern and westef\i towns. The peo
ple first go to woj k and elect Incompe
tent and untrustworthy authorities,
( and then elect a set of extra
official rulers to watch arid control the
■ first set.
We see nothing in all jthis but defi
ance of law, disorder and finally down
right anarchy. A government within
agovernment is a dangerous Insti ution.
So long as the American people enjoy
, a free ballot, there is no excuse for re
sorting to extraordinary methods of
( government.
p Perhaps the knights will not indorse
t the new scheme. It is not safe, bow
, ever, to venture a prediction.— Consti
f tution.
1 Jmerlck Brewa F®at Master
i Dbagiaavtile.
. Rome, Ga., Oct. 14th, 188 b.
I Mr. Editor: I could not get any
thing out of the candidates in your
county, hence I have left your county
for the present and these candidates
and their friends will suffer yet for
the way they have treated me. The
last time I heard from Douglasville,
Massey, judge of the county court,and
■' Bowen, the Goaaipium Guano seller
were about to go to wai about who
shtiuld be post master at Douglasville.
It seems that the Judge had the Inside
truck the last time I heard from them.
He said if he was appointed he would
I give It to a widow woman. Bowen
; Mays that would bead right but I am
j not going to take any county court
judge's say so for that and I here aud
now solemnly and in my own behalf
declare war against Nfasney. I wifi get
;my friends and we will make it hot
for you wrtain. We have already
written on to Washington that you
are an indv|>endent and that you are
no Deniacrat and that lam a Demo
crat and besides this | of the people
I are op|uwd to you any how, and you ‘
made secret arrangements to keep
that office in Sam Dorsett** store and
I have informed the Dejmrtment about
It. When Howeu told Massey this he
said be would see about this thing
now—that he did not care anything!
about it at first, but the war is now o-,
pen and I pnqvose to fight till tile
war is ceasled. Massey wear to his i
friends and says, boys I am no inde* ■
jiemlent; true I voted for Gartrell for
- but he was an old persona! ■
friend and had done me many favors j
when 1 was but a boy ami I want you I
to stand up to me against guano deal- :
er aud I w ill beat him out. You >
know that I am ali right with organized |
Deni's-ruey aud more of theee people
want me appointed than do Bowen
nud Iwahleu 1 am going to let a widow
lady attend to the office and if I am
appointed I will disc .urge the duties |
of the office to the best of my ability
hw»k at tbU puiilicwu* you tee i have
already goc <of the voters of this town 1
to sign my petition. What do .ou
think of that. Does it show that the
people don’t want me or do they w ant
Mr. Bowen, and this was the way the
things were going on when I heard
from there last. Now Mr. Editor 11
have got them. Douglasville is always ■
divided on everything except they j
are against me. When I am there;
everybody in town is after me, even
that old Hen that stays around ( on
nally’s store and that everlasting
watch carpenter that stay’s in Selman
& Hud'on's Drugstore. It is a pity
he did not get killed at Barnum’s
show the other day. He and that
Hen are always after me. For the
Lord’s sake don’t tell them that I am
going to be post master at Dougla? -
ville, but I am. I have struck against
Bowen and Massey for the post office
and I will be certa in to get it. I am
off for Washington to see the President
about it. Don’t tell Judge Massey
nor Capt. Bowen; if you do they will
hatch up something against me but
they can’t do it; if they find out I am
gone to see the President it will scare
the wax out of both of them. When
they find out I have been appointed
P. M. at Douglasville they will want
to brake out war against me but It
will be too late. It nat, Hammond or
John Stewart goes to fooling along
witli me I will see if I can show them
what a congressional man I am. I
proposed to be post master at Doug
lasville war or no war, the Judge of
the county court or guano dealers to
the contrary notwithstanding and I
intend to break open every letter that
comes to Douglasville and see if the
letters are properly written and direct
ed. This will get mighty close to
some of our young but it don’t make
any difference it must be done. The
law under the post office regulationeat
Douglasville requires it to be done. I
can’t write much more. I am off to
Washington. When you see Bowen
and Massey give them my highest re
gards and tell them the jig is up and
Limerick Brown is post master at the
town of Douglasville, Douglas county
Georgia. lam on time this round.
The fight is about over. Let her role.
What will the president think when
I walk up to him and say Mr. Presi
dent of these ar United States of A
merica, I am a gentleman, Mr. Limer
ick Brown, from Georgia. He will
say Mr. Brown lam glad to see you,
I will say Mr. President how would
you like te see me postmaster at Doug
lasville, Ga. He will say Mr. Brown
there are two other applications for
this position. I will say ah yes I
know that there is> man down there
who is Judge of a side show, and calls
it a county court and another man
who makes out like he is the largest
guano dealer in the world, but there
is no, truth in either one of these fel
lows. Now you see I have got the
drop on them and I will lick them
Piv»ldent will say here
is your commission, go down there and
tak-charge of the office and make
Sam Dorsett and ail hfs clerks leave
the house. You have a right to take
everything Sam lias got if you need it
for post office purposes. Now you see
lam not left this time. Tell the peo
ple of Douglasville to watch each train.
I will be there soon to attend to their
mail for them.
Yourse &c.
Limerick Brown.
Post-master of Douglasville, Ga
P. S. Look at usi Limerick to the
bat, Massey on deck and Bowen to
follow.
