On motion of T. R. Jones, of Whits

was made temporary President. Upon
taking the chair, Mr. Dunwocdy made
a stirring speech in favor of Democrat
ic harmony and the necessity of coui o
plcte organization in our ranks.
Mr. Jones, of Whitfield, moved that
C. 11. C. Wiliingnam, of the (Trters
ville Express, and W. 11. Walker, uf

The following letter was then read
from Col. Abda Johnson :
Atlanta, Sept 6,187 G.
Dear Siu : Lt is impossible for me
to leave here to go to Dalton to- mor
row, however much I regret it. Please
no ify an alternate and have someone
to go in my place. While 1 have
neither right nor authority to direef,
any one in my place, I will express a
preference honestly felt, and that is
that the convention will unanimously
nominate Col. W. 11. Dabney. I be
lieve it is not only due to him, but
that it is the iute'est of the Demo,
eratic parly.
If Dr. Felton’s proposition as to a
nomination should be r ade, I would
object to considering it for several vea
sons. Among others, that it docs not
become the Democratic party to invite
or allow the Republicans to aid in the
nomination of a Democratic ticket; that
his plan is now impracticable and al
most impossible of execution to the
satisfaction of those interested, and
that he ought not to be allowed to dic
tate to 'he party.
Very respec*fully,
A. Johnson.
On motion of Mr. Jon s, of Whit
field, the - following committee on per
manent organization was appointed :
Bartow. T. J. Lyon ; Catoosa, W. A
Woods; Chattooga J. N. Taliaferro;
Cobb, A. M. Noitheutt; Dade, W. W.
Charlton ; Floyd, John It. Towers. Jr.;
Gordon. Dr W. J. Beeves; Murray,
A. P. Wofford; Walker, J. M. Lee:

The committee then retired, and, af
ter a short absence, returned with the
following report:
President—Cel. A. T. Huckctt, of
Gordon.
Secretaries —0. 11. 0. Willingham
and W. 11. Walker.
Assistant Secretaries—T. E. Han

On motion of Col. Waddel!, a com

taking the same Col. llackett made a
warm and enthusiastic speech of twen
ty minutes, counseling harmony in the
Democratic party.
A motion of Col Huffman to go into
a baltotting for a candidate for Con
gress, which was amended by a motion
of 31 r Murphoy to nominate Col W II
Dabney by acclamation which was car
ried without a dissenting voice, and
amidst great applause.
On motion of Col Waddell, the fol

On motion of A P Wofford, a com

ford, R W Murphy, 0. A. Dunwocdy,
J M Lee and J RTowers, Jr., was ap
pointed to notify Col Dabney of his
n om ination..
On motion of Mr. Dunwoody, the
convention adjourned to 2:30 p m.
.afternoon session.
The convention re assembled, and was.
called to order by the President.
Col Waddell. Chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, made the
ing report :
The Democratic party of the Sev
enth Congressional District of Georgia
in convention assembled, re affirm their
undeviating devotion to the time hon
ored principles of the old party, which
the degeneracy of the times has left to
the real friends of popular liberty, aud
renew their vows of eternal fidelity to
the only political organization which
has maintained the theory and illustra
ted by practice in the past, throughout
a long scries of years, the ideal of citi
zen —liberty, for which so many of the
fathers and founders of the Republic
fought and bled and died.
This convention fully endoises the
principles set forth in the platform
promulgated at St. Louis. ’j his con
vention fully endorses iii o n 'ruinations
of Tilden and Hendricks thereat made.
This convention fully endorses the
plavform of principles laid down by the
recent State Gubernatorial convention.
This cot vention fully endorses the nom
ination of Hon A II Colquitt, for Gov
ernor of Georgia, and this convention
also fully condemns any course of poli
cy which may in .any degree tend to
disturb the harmony or lead to disin
tegration. In unity only lies strength,
and this convention as an assurance of
its faith in the principles above an
nounced, feels a pride in presenting to
the freemen of the district Col William
11 Dabney as a ft person to reflect
their sentiments, and represent them
selves in the Congress of the United
States.
The report of the committee was
unanimously adopted, amidst great ap
plause, upon motion of Mr. Murphey.
Mr. Gray moved that the President
of the convention appoint an Execu
live Committee, to be composed of one
member ftoui each county in the dis
trict.
Mr. Murphey, Chairman of the cotim
mittee to notify Co' Dabney of his
nomination and request his acceptance,
reported that the commntce had Gis--
charged its duty, and that Colonel W
11 Dabney wou and sigtrfy his acceptance
in person before the convention. [Loud
and vociferous calls for Dabney.]
Col Dabney theD, in a few ramarks,
appropriately chosen, thanked the con
vention for the honor conferred, and ac
cepted the nomination. Invoking the
aid of each individual member of the
Democratic party, he pledged himself
to carry aloft the banner extended to
his hands, above the clouds of dust, and
to bear it to victory, or if it should fail
to fall with it
Col J W Harris, of Bartow, was
then called upon for a speech that
aroused great enthusiasm and cheers for
Democracy.
Colonel J W Wofford was next call
ed upon, and made one of his strong
speeches exposing the conspiracy being
under negotiation between Dr. Felton
and Major Hargrove for an alliance de
fensive and offensive.
The President of the convention an
nounced that inasmuch as three coun
ties were not represented he would hold
up an unnnruincemcnt of the Executive
Committee for a few days.
Ordered that the papers of the Dis
trict and those ol Atlanta publish these
proceedings.

The other replied, “ I have not got

On this weighty question they went
to war. After they had exhausted their
armies and lescuices. and laid waste
the r kingdoms, they be,an to wish to
make oeaee ; but before this could be
done it was n.-cessary that the insult*
ing language that led to '.he trouble
should be explained.
“ What could vou mean,” asked the
second king to the first, ‘by saying:
‘Send me a blue pig with a Llaek tail,
or else ’’
“ Why,” said the other, ‘‘l meant a
blue pig with a black tail, or else some
other color. But what tLd you mean
by saying, ‘I have not got one. and it I
had——”
“Why, of course, If I had I should
have sent it.”
The story of the two kings ought to
serve as a lesson to us all. Most of the
quarrels between individuals are quite
as foolish as the war <f the blue pig
wi h a black tail.

Beauty on the Farm.
One of the thinsis that brings enjoy
ment of the farm is the beauty of its
products. Indeed farm word guided In
intelligence, i,- full of attractive results
The farm it eIF, as a whole, when well
and skillfully wo ked, has all the effect
of a charming landscape. AU its part
blond t 'gether with the harmonies of n
complete picture which the eve no -
rest on with constant pleasure. And
then wc may assort without much liaz*
aid of denial, that ev ry particular
commodity or crop becomes Beautiful
in proper tion as it becomes excellent.
Thus a field of wheat which promises
a perfect crop, and consequently dis
plays ve’low heads, thick, level and un
dulating, ip in deed a beimtiful object.
On the othei hand when dr,light end
rust blight the harvest it straight way
loses rs beauty and becomes offensive
to the eye. Can anything in the rural
1 i"e give more satisfaction to the be
holder than a broad corn field whose
perfect rows and heavy stand cover the
ground evenly, and whose dark rich
coloring gives tokens of the coming
crop? But wheneven lightning of soil
or Dck of moisture shrivels the leaves
or dwarfs the stalk, the charm of beau
ty is gone, and the whole fie’d is com
paratively repulsive. This contr st of
beauty in the perfect product, with de
formity in the stunted one, holds
throughout. An orchard laden with
fruits which are i\ und.ripe and smoothe,
gives pleasure *0 the eye as well as to
the lalatc. B it-the withered f..liage
wrom-eaten fruit and the dead branch
es being emblems of decay are untrac
tie. Turn now to the domestic ani
mals, and the facts are the same. Evn
here the element of beauty keeps-pace
with the element of utility, aid doub
les its value The same proportions
that give strength, speed or endurance
to the horse, give beauty of outlive t.u
his form. The very points that made
a shorthorn a valuable beef animal ren
der him a handsome animal also. In
short, look where we will on the farm
whether at the at its fruits, grasses,
grain or animaD, we shall find that
whatever reaches its highest fitness for
its destined purpose is beautiful and
whateven fails jn fitness for its purpose
is simply ugly. If these reflections are
correct, the successful farmer not only
secures the highest profits from his farm
but he is surrounded by objects of per,
p'etual beauty. Thus it is that the true
the true farmer finds in his li'e work
;he resources of refined enjoyment. llis
toil is dotted all along with triiMnphs,
and by the aid of head hand lie is con
stantly creating forms of natural beauty
which gladdens his eye and cheers his
heart: arid this it is that makes farm
life, under its highest aspects, the tru
est life that mao can lead.
A General icn <;n Ihe March.
A generation on the march from the
cradle to the grave is an instructive
spectacle, and we have it carefully pre*'
sented to us in the repmt by Dr. Farr,
an English ‘physician. Let us trace
the physical fortune which any million
of us may reasonably expect. The
number, to begin with, is made up of
511,743 boys and 458.255 girls, a dis—
proporion which by and by will be re*
dressed by the undue mortality of the
boys, and \ ill be reversed before the
close of the strange, eventful history.
More than a quarter of these children
will die before they are five yc-ars old
—n exact numbers, 141,387 boys and
121,395 girls. The two sexes are now
nearly on a level. In the succeeding
five years —from ten to fifteen —the
mortality will be still further reduced,
ludecd, lor bo*h sexes, this is the most
healthy period of life; the death-rate,
however, is lower for boys than for
girls. There will be some advance in
deaths in the next five years, and still
more in the five that follow, but G34,*
045 will certainly enter on their twen
ty-sixth year. Before the next ten
years arc at an end two thirds of the
women will have married. The deaths
during that period will be C 2,052, and
of those no fewer than 27.134 will be
caused by consumption. Between thir
ty-five and forty-five a still larger
•death toll” will be paid, and little
more than half the original band —ln
exact numbers, 502 913 —will enter on
their forty sixth year. Each succeed o
ing and cade, up to seventy live, will
now become more fitaf, ami the num
bers will shrink- terribly- At seventy,
fijc only 101.124 will remain to be
struck down, and of these 122 559 will
have perished by the eighty.fifth" of
the march. The 38.5f5 that remain
w.ill soon lay down their burdens; but
2.153 of them will struggle on to by
ninety-live, and 223 to be 100 years
old. Finally, in the 108th year of the
course, the last solitary life will flicker
'out. Such, then, is the average lot cf
a million men and women.
Spare moments are the gold dust of
time; and Young was writing a true as
well as a striking line, when ho taught
that “Sands - make the mountain, and
moments make ihe year.” Of all the
portions of our life, spare moments are
the most fruitful : n good or evil. They
are the gaps through which tempta
tions find the easiest access to the gar
den of tiie soul.
“If Jones undertakes to pull my
ears,” said a loud mouthed fellow on a
siroet corner, “he'll just have his hands
fall, now.” The crowd looked at tlie
nnu's ears and thought so too.
lii IdviiHce.
living in England*
Mr. Louis J. Jennings, in writing to
the New York \Voild on the iclative
nost. ol‘ housekeeping in England and
America, thinks in the first p aee, that
London is, on the whole, cheap to
live in as the country districts of Eug.
hind. J.ike Niw Luk it draws the
l est from everywhere to its markets,
even Govern salm< n at cheaper rates
than they can be bought s tigly near
the Severn. As to house rent., £IOO a
ye.r will secure a good house, with
eight bfd -roou.*, beside dining, draw
ing and reception rooms. in the
burbs less money will do it, a house of
six rooms, neat and comfortable, being
meted. less than loir- miles from Lon
don Bridge, for £25 (or $1l5), to Mr.
Jennings' knowledge. A garden, front
and rear J makes it attmotive. For
£l5O a year a hoti-e in almost any di
reetiun can be had. with taxes pai l,
tlie like of which would command $l
- to $1,500 a year in New York, and
taxes still to pay. As to servants, two
families are mentio ed where the cooks
get S9O, gold, and sl.lO. gold, a year,
and the first named is as good as those
Ibr which S2O to $25 a . month is paid
in New Yo~k, $240 tos3oo a year. A
waitress gets abou £l2 and a house
maid £lO a year. 'these rates, with
the addition of some allowances for
washing and as beer money, make the
cost of three servants in a respectable
and comfortable family about $307 a
year.
(Nothing is cheaper than in New
York, cspecial'y for children, who wear
common fabrics. Even fashionable
dresses for ladies are cheaper by one
third # to one-half, and these prices rep
rcsent good work. As. to provisions,
beef is 25 to 31 cents a pound, instead
of 30 to 35 cents in New York, though
Mr. Jennings favors American beef
over English for quality. Mutton, he
says, is the reverse, better and slightly
dearer than here. Tv a, sugar and
bread are cheaper there, and the latter
much better. The sevem-peund loaf
costs 14 cents. Coffee and rice are
also cheaper. The article in which
New York has the chief advantage is
game, which ordinary London house
keepers can hardly afford at all for the
greater part of the seas n. Oysters are
also practically denied them, though
lobsters arid craf s. like most other fish,
are fine and cheap. Fruit again is
comparatively unknown in London,
peaches being a luxury even for the
rich, costirg 25 cents a piece in com*
paratively plentiful times.
Ten pounds a week, Mr. Jennings
thinks, will keep a family of six or
seven persons, with the exception oi’
rent, as well as SIOO would do in New
York, and £I,OOO a year will go fur
ther than SIO,OOO there, taking in
rent with other

A Sermon Within Itself.
“Life bears us on like t he strea u of a
mighty river. Our boat glides down
the narrow channel—through the play
ful murmuring cf the brook, and the
winding of its grassy borders. The
trees shed their blossoms over our young
heads; we are happy in hope,and grasp
eageily at the bounties around us—but
the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course iri youth
and manhood is along a wilder flood,
amid objects more striking and magnifi
cent. We are animated as the moving
picture of enjoyment and iudu-try pass
es us ; we are excited at some short*
lived disappointment. The stream
bears us on, and ourjeys and g.iefs are
left behind us We may be shipwreck
ed, we cannot be delayed; whether
rough or smooth, the river hastens to
its home, till the roar of the ocean is
in our cars, and the tossing of the
waves is beneath our feet, and the land
lessens irotn our eyes, and the floods
are lifted around us, and we take our
leave of earth and its inhabitants, un.
til of our further voyage there is no
witness, save U.e Infinite and Eter
nal.”
Ills Mule,
“Speaking about mules,” remarked
a six-footer firmi Harnett county, as he
cracked his whip at the market yester
day morning, M’vegut a mule at home
which knows as mucii as I do, and I
t\ant to hear somebody say that I’m
half fool.”
No one said so, and he Wj.it on :
“Eve stood around here aud heard
men blow about kicking miles till I’ve
got disg- sted. When you come down
to kieki g, I want to bet on my mule.
A preacher came along and took din
tier with me the other day, and as he
seemed a little down-hearted I took
him out to see Thomas Jefferson, my
champion mule. I was telling the
good man howHhat mule would flop his
hind feet atound, aud he said he’d like
to see i\ little fuu. He’d passed his
whole life in the South, l ut had never
seen a mule lay his soul into a big
time at kicking.”
“Wei,” lie couinued, after borrow
ing some tobacco, “I took Thomas out
of the stable, backed him up agin a
hill, gin him a cuif on the ear, and we
stood buck to see the amusement. It
vas a good place to kick his darndest,
