8*6%, Tho question of the day—are
you going to the big fair ?
We hope to spend a few days in
Atlanta during the Fair, and will give
our readers “the dots” next week.

President Grant has telegraphed
the Georgia State Fair on'aecouiW'bl
official business.
BiiT" Bullock has issued his proclama
tion adjonming the Legislature on the
25th Tho fleuato meets on November
21st to confirm appointments of election
managers.
The Rads are jubilant over the
probability of a split in the Democratic
party in some counties—as they know
this is their only hope. We hope they
will be disappointed in this.
•oT In another column we publish
the Governor’s proclamation, calling up
on the county Ordinaries of the State to
send up the names of two election man
agers, according to the Senate’s construc
tion of the bill.

W&r The Legislature is now getting
nine dollars a day for quarreling over a
day for adjournment. It is now proba
ble that body will adjourn about the
25th, and that the Senate will meet in
November for confirming the nomina
tions for managers of election.
Prussians Before Paris.- Prus
sians at Versailles deny that the French
have accomplished any successes before
Paris, or that the situation has changed
at all since they took position around the
city on the 19th of September.
•egr They have had a rousing railroad
meeting at Cedar Town, Polk county,
recently. The people are apparently in
earnest about it.
When will the people of Calhoun take
hold of their railroad project? The
passage of the bill chartering the road,
and granting State aid, will amount to
nothing, unless the people take hold of
the matter.
A Disgrace.
It should be known to the publio that
there is a false imitation of humanity in
the Georgia Legislature, so lost to self
respect, and any of the feelings that ev
er enter tho heart of a true man—as to
oppose the resolutions of respect to the
memory of General Lee in the house.—
This moving heap of venom and rascal
ity is called Fitzpatrick—a disgrace to
Ireland, the land of his birth, and ev
ery other country his foot has ever pol
luted
Even the half-witted negroes of that
body heaped upon this vile thing in hu
man shape unmistaken evidences of their
withering scorn.
Aside from all his other acts of mean
ness, and attempts to injure the people
of Georgia, while soaking in fine liquor
at their expense, this of itself is enough
to condemn him forever to the lowest
depths of infamy, and—after the right
eous disgust and scorn of an outraged
people have been completely tired out—
to oblivion's blackest cavern.
The Rome Fair.
Those of our citizens who attended
the Fair at Rome, came back highly
pleased with their trip, and speak in
terms of commendation of the whole
affair. The management was in the
hands of exactly the right men. We
are indeed glad that -so many of our
citizens are witnessing the spirit of pro
gress and enterprise manifested by the
people of other counties in this particu
lar in hope, for another season to herald
the “ Gordon county Agricultural Fair,”
as one among the prominent items for
the fall of 1871.
Let our Society go to work note —in
full time—and old Gordon can rival
any exhibition we have yet seen in the
way of a county fair, without going out
side of her own limits.
What say the farmers, and people
generally of Gordon—shall we have a
fair in 1871 ?
Talk about it around your firesides—
when you visit your neighbors in the
couutry —when you come to town. —
Enthuse the people on the subject and
once yet to work, and there is no doubt
of a brilliant success.
The Senate has confirmed the

Honor to the Nation’s Hero.
Meeting in Calhoun.
Notwithstanding the short notice
given a large number of people, both
ladies and gentlemen met at the Court
House in Calhoun on Saturday last to take
some action concerning the sad event
which has spread a gloom of sadness
over the entire country.
On motion of J. H. Arthur Capt. W.
R. Rankin was called to the Chair, and
Klam Christian requested to act as
Secretary.
Upon taking the Chair, Capt. Rankin
explained the object of the meeting in
a very brief speech—referring, in ap
propriate terms, to the life and noble
deeds of the departed chieftain.
Aftar an impressive and appropriate
prayer by Rev. J. S. Harkins, the chair
announced tho meeting ready for busi
ness.
On motion a committee of five was
appointed to prepare business for the
meeting. The following gentlemen com
posed said committee: J. 11. Arthur.
W. J. Can
The committee retired, and in a short
time returned and offered the following
report.
‘ Sit ice the formation of our Govern
ment, the nation now, for the second
time, is wrapped in mourning. The
first national mourning was caused by
the death of that great and good man,
the nation’s idol—George Washington.
And now, the second time the nation
mourns, is for the patriot, soldier, and
Christian hero—Robert E. Lee—who
departed this life on Wednesday, the
12th inst., and who will be entombed
this day at 12 o’clock.
To say that we mourn for such a loss
does not seem sufficiently expressive.
Language fails to express the nation’s
sorrow at the loss of so good and so
great a man ; but knowing that all that
pertains to this earth must fall and de
cay, we bow, with humble reverence to
the will of Almighty God, believing
that “ all things work together for good
to them that love and serve Him.”
And be it unanimously Resolved by
the citizens of Calhoun, now convened,
that in memory of the nation’s loss, and
in honor to the virtues of the noble
dead, that the business houses be now
closed and stand closed until one o’clock
—during tho hour appointed for the
burial of our beloved Robert E. Lee.
Upon presentation of the committee’s
report speeches were made by Messrs
Cantrell and Christian—after which a
rising vote was taken, and the report
unanimously adopted.
On motion it was requested that these
proceedings be published in the Cal
houn Times.
The meeting then adjourned.
W. it. Rankin, Chairman.
Elam Christian, Secretary.
GENERAL LEE IS DEAD.
Below' we copy a few extracts from
our exchanges, in regard to this sad
event.
A whole nation is in mourning, but
especially those whom he loved the most,
and for whom he braved the battle
storm.
lie was the soul of truth, honor and
patriotism ; the consumate General, the
hero of a hundred battles, and no less a
hero, when he yielded and gave up the
hopeless contest. He then directed his
attention to that noblest of all pursuits
in which he might instruct and guide
the intellects and point the aspirations
of the young to all that is noble and
good. In every exalted aim, which he
presented before them, he furnished the
light of his own pure example, and ‘-led
the way.” It may in truth be said that
he died iu the performance of good
daeds.
All that is mortal of General Lee is
passed away; but as long as time shall
last, and there is a mind to appreciate
and a heart to love all that is pure and
noble and beautiful in human character,
so long will the name of General Lee be
admired and loved, and his fame will de
scend to the latest generations.— Griffin
Georgian.
Lee was ours. This pride can never
be torn from us. And his memory il
lumines the Southern cause with an im
perishable glory. Lee, the great and
the good, the blameless and the heroic,
is a part of our history, and his charac
ter redeems our defeat.
But while ours is the proud title to
this grandest type of manhood, the civ
ilized world will still claim a share in
him by right of an example so adorning
to humanity. —Atlanta Constitution.
Let the bells toll ! Let the
country mourn ! A great burning shin
ing light, has been extinguished. Rob
ert E. Lee. the hero of a hundred bat
tles ; the Christian gentleman ; esteemed
in all civilized lands for his manly vir
tues and heroic nature, and beloved in
his own “Sunny South.” is Dead.—
Living, he “gave the world assurance of
a mandead, he leaves it a name that
will be immortal for generation after
generation to honor till time shall be no
more. —Atlanta Intelligencer.
An attempt to eulogize him now were
but a painful mockery. His deeds are
his best eulogy—the only one that is
entirely fitting, and the will go thunder
ing down the ages, eloquent and true,
bidding history make room for one who
is peer of the peerless, and breathing a
new song upon the lyre of poesy- The
world of the dead will make room for
him above its Alexanders, its Ctesar and
Napoleons, and beside its one Washing
ton. Immortality might well covet such
a treasure, and history rejoice that he
belongs to her henceforth. —Atlanta
S'VTK
The telegrams of last night announce
the death of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, of \ ir
ginia, the noblest and grandest type of
the age in which he lived. The an
nouncement will thrill with anguish and
sorrow the hearts of the good and the
brave throughout the civilized world
[Mitcon Telegraph and Messenger.
There is not a heart East. West, North,
or South, or within the bounds of the
civilized world, capable of appreciating
the worth of honor, and the beauty of
true chivalry, but what will experience
a pang of regret at the passing away of
the great Captain, the chivalric Bay
ard the Moral Hero, Robert E. Lee !
Manhood had in him its noblest person
ification, and his calm and Christian
death, has served only to engrave his
beloved name still deeper upon the
hearts of his mourning countrymen.
[Atlanta True Georgian.
Atlanta’s Demonstration in
Memory of Gen. Lee.
We give below extracts f roni the At
lanta Constitution in reference to the
demonstration in that city on Saturday:
The citizens of Atlanta, also strangers
and visitors in the city, without distinc
tion of party, race, or color, whose
hearts were penetrated with his virtues,
his hearse, ail were present
to do honor to his memory. Business
Was suspended. worL cloned, store
houses deserted, and trade forsaken,
that all might join the vast multitude
to participate in the virtue of respect to
the illustrious dead. Many of the old
soldiers of the army of Virginia, who
fought by his side, and attended him in
his victories and triumphs; men filling
high positions; members of the Memo
rial Association, all joined hearts and
affectionately and sadly assembled to
shed the tribute of sincere sorrow, and
to honor the memory of General Robert
E. Lee.
The entire city presented an appear
ance of mourning. Business every
where was suspended. The flag on the
State House stood at half mast; at either
end of the passenger depot floated at
half-mast the stars and stripes of the
United States; the banks were closed
and crape hung upon the doors; the
stores, offices, in fact all business houses
were closed and draped in mourning;
the hotels and printing offices were also
in black ; in front of the Southern Life
Insurance Office, The Constitution office,
the Young Men’s Library Association
rooms, the United States Hotel, and at
very inauy other houses pictures of
General Lee could be seen wreathed in
crape and ever-green The street cor
ners, doorways and windows, presented
large numbers of persons, and all was
quiet and solemn as slowly and sadly
the procession moved to the Hall. Or
derly and sorrowfully the vast multitude
arranged themselves around the stand,
which was on the western side of the
City Hall, at the same time the Gate
City Silver Band, and one from Griffin,
discoursed beautiful and appropriate
music.
The whole city seemed to be mourn
ing for the dead hero. The procession
as it marched down Broad street, appear
ed to be a surging sea of humanity,
flowing in never-ending waves towards
a common center. There was nearly as
large a procession on either side-walk as
in the center of the street. As the band
crossed the bridge they struck up
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot,”
which met a unanimous nay from every
heart. The crowd at the City Hall was
the largest assemblage ever seen in the
Gate City, and was estimated at fully
ten thousand. General Gordon electri
fied the audience, as enthused with his
subje’et, he dwelt upon the exalted char
acter of him he loved so well.
The reverence for the heroism and
virtue of Lee illuminated the counte
nance of this battle-scarred hero, (the
next great Captain of the age himself)
and the marks of the shells and the
bullets of the enemy on his face, became
radiant with beauty, testifying as they
did to the Speaker’s courage and de
votion, and as he dwelt upon his theme
tears unbidden forced their way down
the cheeks of stern men and sympa
thizing women.
“ Everywhere was felt the presence of a soft
despair.
That thrilled the voices of div'jr' farewells.”
It was an occasion that demonstrated
that the popular heart adores and rever
ences virtue and moral courage. Lee,
stood firm and unfaltering for the right,
and his name and deeds are indelibly
inscribed upon the hearts of the people
for all time to come.
Gen. John B. Gordon was orator of
the day, and we propose to erive our
readers his splendid oration in our next
issue.
The State Road.
On Tuesday the Senate passed the
House bill to lease the State Road, by
the following vote:
Yeas—Messrs. Brock, Candler, Cor
bitt, Dickey, Dunning, Fain, Griffin
(6th.) Griffin (21st.) Harris. Henderson,
Hick Henry, Hungerford. Jones, Jor
dan, Merrell, McArthur, McWhorter,
Nunnally, Sherman, Smith (7th.) Smith
(36th,) Speer, Welch. Wooten—2s.
Nays—sl ess rs. Bowers, Bruton,
Campbell, Colman, Crayton. Traywick.
Conley—7.
We will be agreeably disappointed if
a very short time does not suffice to
prove that this is the very worst course
that could have been pursued on this
subject. The Road should never leave
the control of the voters of Georgia, ex
cept it were sold to responsible company.
The women of Leavenworth. Kansas,
appear to know how to settle their own
little grievances without the interference
of big brothers. A divorced woman,
whose affections had been tampered with
by one of the leading business men of
the city, entered his room, pistol in hand,
the other night, and would have shot
him only for presence of mind on his
part, which enabled him to throw up
her hand and clutch her by the throat.
A neighbor soon alter appeared on the
scone and separated them.
The Bill to Lease the State
Road.
We give our readers a synopsis of
Mr. Scott’s bill to lease the State Road,
that passed the House and is bow be
fore the Senate.
It authorizes the Governor to lease
for 20 years, for not less than §25.000
to be paid monthly. The lease shall be
forfeited and the Governor take the
road if the rent is not paid in 20 days
after the end of the month, and sue for
the rent in fen days after he gets the
road. The company cannot sub-let the
road. j
The company shall give bond, with
security, for §8.000,000 over their debts, j
and swear it. The security in the State
shall be worth 85.000,000. Security
out of the State shall be real estate or
railroad property. The bond shall be
for the monthly payment, and for the
return of the road in as good a fix as it
was received. The sureties shall swear
they are worth §2.000.000 over debts.
The Legislature can require other surety,
or look into the condition of the road at
any time.
The Governor shall appoint three
railroad men to make and tile with the
Secretary of State an inventory of the
road property, and its condition.
The company shall not be less than
number, a majority bona fide
hLuII "the' iutorest in the
lease. The company shall be a body
corporate under the name of* Western

the same salaries as the Georgia Rail

have the usual power of Presidents.
The company shall settle all balances
with connecting roads. If there is a
balance due the Road, it shall go to the
State Treasury; if the balance is due
to connecting roads, the company shall
pay the balance out of the monthly pay
ments.
Other debts of the State road shall be
paid out of* the State Treasury, and the
Governor shall draw his warrant for the
same, after a board of commissioners,
consisting of Benjamin Conley, Dawson
A. Walker and George Ilillyer, shall
audit them. No claim shall be paid,
rejected by the Court, or the Legisla
ture, or that comes in the class of re
bellious claims, or is embraced in the
repudiation ordinance of 18G8.
If a lessee dies, his interest if personal
property, to be disposed of as other
property.
The company shall not discriminate
in freights. No railroad or express
companies shall become lessees, though
they may be sureties.
The company shall never charge a
higher rate of* local freight than the
average rate of our chief* roads. No
banking privileges are carried by this
lease.
The State is to pay all mortgages and
interest thereon on the road.
