TON


An Amusing Account Of the Nomina-
ton for Congress in the 9TH District.
Probably the driest old stump that
ever politician tired to suck was
the Congressional Convention just
dissolved At Gainesville.
| II was composed Of 81 tubs, whose
first sud only idea was that each one
should sit On its own bottom"
There was less encouragement for
a wire worker; less material for a
Iobbyest, and less consolation for
"tied>out horse than ia any Con-
vention ever before assembled.
There was only one fraction of a
vote that could be called a "noater;"
and it 'Aoated" so fast that nobody
could treat it, lobby it, trade with it,
or talk to il,
The delegates, without exception,
come instructed to vote for certain
men until those men cried "hold. y
The first ballot opened, of course, in
accordance with the instructions, and
forty seven long aud weary ballots
those faithful voters stood by their
respective leaders. There wasn't a
hint of change; no attempt to fill
buster; no mau9Yering; no swaps
ping, but just the same thing time
after time.
We have no idea but that when
Whltworth, of Paulding. dies, his
last breath will be devoted in calling
"two votes for Young and that
whenever Cleghorn Of Chattooga,
slows away an unusual quantity Of
indigestiblc beans, that he will ser
renade the consequent night mares
with "two votes for Scott :" we know
that Head, of HARRISON, will name
his next pair of twins after the two
votes he cast for Young so everlas-
tingiy, and that Fowler, Of Catoosa,
thinks that heaven is the place where
Wash johnson gets all the votes,
aud when tied-out candidates sell for
30 cents in the dollar. There was
one fellow who controlled 80 Of u
vote, and this frolicsomc fraction was
the life Of the Conventions 1t ship
ped about like a six months flea and
perched its lively little self on the
carcass of every candidate. Other
votes were controlled by the puny
contrivances of Conventions and
cliques; but Sutton and his faction
spurned these appliances, and &C
knowledged the power of nothing
less than the majestic cocktail, the
raging beer, or the p ilosophic tod
dy to settle disputed point, and
they settled it as gentlemen should
settle all questions.

A gentleman using his best edu
cation to keep from treading on the
long waking train of a lady, did not
succeed, when the lady turned upon
him tiercely and gave him tongue
lashing. Broken hearted, the gay
bachelor responded; Madam, l
again humbly beg your pardon; l
thought you had passed some time
ago."

FROM BIG sHANTY.
'SOCIAL HOP'-MUSIG, MtRTH AND
MISSES


Eds Jomnql-Thursday evening,
the 9Th Of September, was another
occasion of pleasure at 'Big Shantie'
in the shape of "Social Hop" Civ
en- by the Engineers of w. & A. Il.
R. At $3.50 P, NJ, the party arriv-
ed, accompanied by splendid band
Of music.
After partaking of a splendid sup
per, the "Ball commenced rolling"
beginning with Grand March, in
which some twenty-five couple par
ticipated.
Among the beauties upon the floor
we noticed, the pleasing and entor>
tanning Mrs. 5, II. We, of Savan-
nah, accompanied with her daughter
Miss Nettie, both iastefulIy arrayed.
Miss Julia PIT, Of Savannah,
who seemed to be quite a favorite
among the Knights of Terpsichore.
Mrs. w. Ii P-s, of Macon, Ga,
Mrs. Z, j. CT, Of Macon, the
most handsome looking lady on the
floor.
The dashing Brunette, Miss Sallie
En-, of Tunnel Hill, arrayed in
blue silk, with white carleton over>
Diamonds-by her sparkling
wit and humor, she vas "immense."
The young gents were caution ly
calling on her to sing. Her voice
being excellent. she accommodated
them with kiss me Good bye OAR
ling" "NIoIlie Darling" etc, We
are compelled to acknowledge that
she was the "Bellc" of the evening.
Her sister, Miss Fannie, was also
very attractive, by her dress we
thought she must have been an
Angel from above.
Miss Emma Il ID, Of Atlanta,
dressed in white. wjth a splendid
wreath of buds upon her hair.
Miss W.T., of Atlanta, pleasing
little Brunette.
The bewitching blonde, Miss Alice
L-y, of Big Shantie, elegantly at
tired in pink, with white tarleton
overskirt, which had pleasing eff
feet, and the way she capsized the
young mems hearts was caution,
so much so that one young man or
dered his letters, &c, next day
through a fit of jealousy.
At u NJ. refreshments were serv-
ed, then a scene took place not on
the bills-in come Mr.. Bat, OF
course the usual screams took place,
when one young man more cour-
ageous than the rest seized "The
woman's friend,' Il. e. the broom,
and commenced the battle, after
half hours work he was compelled to
yield to his Lordship-after which
the dance was resumed and kept up
until morning.
Great credit is due the Managers,
Mr.. Chas. Odena, Mr.. Anderson,
Mr.. Stallings and Mr.. Thrash.
Death has been amongst US, Mr.
j. B. Travis youngest child died
Friday, Sept 9th A fine sermon
was preached at the residence Mr.
Lacy by Rev. Mr.. Mansfield, Of Ma
rietta, on it's death.
Cotton crop is splendid, also the
corn. From what we can learn
there will be more cotton and corn
made this year than has been made
for years , asst. Mr.. II. b Williams
is turning out some splendid wagons
at his factory here. More anon.

THE Northern Aletho1ists of the
more bigoted stamp have, as our
people well know, made politics
part of their religion. Their minis
tiers have not failed to employ all
their means of influencing the peo-
pie to induce them to vote the ultra
Radical ticket. At a camp meeting
recently held at the North lat Ster-
ling, Mass, on the 23d of August,)
Elder Webster urged upon every
member of the Methodist Church to
go to the polls and secure the cleo
Of General Grant :; and another di-
vine Methodist said "if Greeley was
elected the lives of carpet -baggers
would not be worth straw" If
carpet baggers believed what this
reverend scamp says they would
clear out Of the South before the day
of election; for they have a strong
suspicion of how it vii be.-Rlcd-

How beautiful the morning light,
The early light ofday
Nagniieently grand the sight,
All nature does display,
When blooming vallies lie in view,
The mountains tinged with gold,
While all creation shines anew,
With beauty never told.
The light that sparkIes in the gem,
The rainbow with its hues,
The morning gary on the stem,
BespangleJocr with dew,
Among the roses and the pinks,
With lilies in the bower.
How beautiful TO those that think,
Is every opening flower,
The light Of heaven we-behold

The charms ii day were II v old,
Nor glorie~ OF the light
For God is light the light Of al,

How beautiful the great aud small,

AN AIM

Give me a man with an aim
Whateverthat aim may be-
Whether it, wealth or whether it's fame,
l. matters not to me-.
Let him walk IN the path Of right
And keep his aim IN sight.
And work ant pray IN faith always
With his eye on the glittering height
Give me a man who says,
will do something well
And make the fleeing DAYS

Though the aim he has be- small,
II j. better than none al all
With something to do the whole year through,
He will not stumble nor fall.
But Satan weaves n snare
For the feet ofthose who stray,
With never thought nor care
Where the path may lead away.
The man who has no aim,
Mt only leaves no NAM
W hen this life II done, hut ten 10 one.
He leaves q record Of shame
Give me man whose heart
Is filed with ambition s fire
Who sets his mark Is the start,
And keeps moving it higher aud higher
Better to die in the strife
The hands with labor rife
Than to glide with the stream in an idle dream
And live in puposele-s life.
Better 10 strive and climb
And never reach the goal,
Than 10 drift along wiki the time
An amlcss worthless soul
Ay, better 10 climb and fall
Or sow though ,he yield he small
Than to throw away day after day
