arhat Cobb County Matter.y

Under this caption the Atlanta Herald makes
a reply to our article of last week, in which it
saws it expected "hetter and fairer things of
us and deems it an unjust attack" Mr.. AL
ston also in q card denies the authorship, and
Mr.. Stevenson, the Macon editor, assumes its
paternity. The Herald further says thata ode
layed telegram from Col. Alston only had his
initials, which was placed at the ailofthe COM
munication, which, it says, was not signed"
and sit appeared that the force of the initials at
tached to the whole of the Macon NATTER
Now, we must admit that we were sadly dis
appointed in readngthe paragraphs Of the ar
ticle in question. which were so disparaging TO
the display of Cobb; for We, too, expected
"better and iairer things" OF the Herald, and
being disappointed, it was perfectly natural
honest sentiments, when apparently everything
went 10 show that Cobb had not been fairly
dealt with OF course, the Herald has the
conceded right to champion any county, cause,
or person, compatible with its own Judgment
and as suits its option, and we would not have
said aught against it's exercise OF this preroga.
tive but for the avowal that it had "backed
Cobb" when the evident appearance Of matters
would not sui stantiate the assertion. That in
stincitive principle which causes men TO take
up arms in defence Of home and country, fam
" and friends, when danger threatens, alike
impeled us to take up our pen in defence of
Cobb when we saw her exhibition mderyalued
and an effort made to detraet from the merits of
her display.
Be it far from us TO misrepresent OF upjustty
attack the Herald or any individual, or give
coloriug to matter, only az we think truth
will warrant; this on our side we never shrink
from contest in placing ourselves square and
right. We have the highest respect Tor the ed
itors of the Herald and do not desire to place
them in false position but if Mr.. Grady will
refer to his file paper of the 31st of October, he
will see that not only the Telegram" divided
by dash line from. and at the tail Of, long
article, but that the article in question has
without doubt the identical iniuals--thus giving
prominence twice to the nitials"R A. A. from
which no other reasonable inference could be
deduced but that Mr.. Aston, himself, was the
writer. How these letters came there is not for
us to answer, and as Mr. A. denies the author
ship and as Mr.. S. assumes the responsibility,
it remains for those two gentlemen to "inter-
view the Intelligent composition" and see who
made the blunder.
AS the Herald isrepentant remission of sins
is granted, and we trust its proffered friend
ship will not be spurned, but appreciated by
our people.

Ient's Show,

Lent's Circus and Menagerle has come aud
gone And of eourse anything that we may
saw OF it at this date, cannot be attributed to
any pecuniary influence. Saturday morning
the streets were lined with hundreds of men,
women and children all eager to catch
sight of the street parade They had not long
to wait The gitterng chariot headed the
procession, and the dens of animals followed.
The street display was very fine end the music
much better than usually accompany travelling
exhibitions. The mammoth payillions were
also crowded with people in attendance. The
stream Of human beings that poured in TO wit
ness the circus performance, would have given
any other impression than that ola money panic
prevailing over the country. The ''show pam
ic" seemed to have driven all apprehensions of
hard times from their minds, and everybody
for the nonce seemed willing to stake no
thought for tomorrow"
The collection of animals was good, viii
the srenic performance gave general satisfac-
ton. The horses We're in good condition, the
men fine looking and Of great muscular Prov
ess and marvellous good actors; the clowns
funny and facetious. The exhibition came fully
up to the expectations of the people and the
general opinion expressed WAS that it is the
best show that has visited the city since the
war. The managers were attentive and polite
iii all their transactions with you. Mr. l.. b.
Lent, Jr., is one of the most perfect gentleman
we ever met, as his kind and courteous de-
meanor would so impress any one. The show
is "big thing on wheels and no mistake
The Lerantine Brothers in their trapeze feats
and mid air leaps, and the troop of trained dogs,
to say nothing of the bare back riders, homeless
contortionists and tumblers, were alone worth
the price Of admission, and quite entertaining.

DEMIsE or A uuRo.

Our night dispatches, says the
Augusta Constitationalist, bring the
sad Intelligence of the death Of
Lieutenant General w. j. Hardee,
formerly of the Confederate States
Army. One by one the giants Of
the lost cause are passing away. ---
He illustrated that manhood which
Jefferson Davis. characterized as
"t0o proud to eat the leak, or bon the
knee to mortal man" Our people will
remember this noble Georgian long
after the .'monldering fingers of
time" shall have defaced the mem
cries of many who caused this hero
and his gallant corpsthose ''nights of
danger" and "days of waking" which
his comrades of the Western army
shared and remember.

What Others Think.

Notwithstanding the Bib County ladies and
gentlemen gave collation. at the State Fair to
the committeeman who were entrusted with
the duty of awarding the premiums forthe best
county display, it has been insinuated that
the integrity of these gentlemen swerved under
the influence of the magnificent dinner given
by the ladies' of Cobb. We know it has osen
said that if you want to get at mans heart
YOU must do SO through his mouth, and we also
know that Cobb county ladies are remarkably
beautiful pleasing, intelligent and possess
many noble qualities, and if anybody can turn
mans head, they can. But we hardly think
that our Macon friends are ready or willing TO
admit that Cobb exceled them in feminine
beauty and influence, as well as the finest dis
play of farm products, &c, but are willing to
say that merit alone decided the question. At
least such is is the import of the following arti
Gle from the Eufaula (Ala.,) Neios:
1.-THE committee spent two days and half in
examining the products of the four counties
contsnding for. the premium, and when the sx
animation. closed, they repaired to private
room, when Col. Eli S. Shorter, Of Eufau-
la, one Of the judges, proposed to take private
ballot for the individual opinion of each Of The
Judges, before any consultation or interchange
of views should be lad, so neither ofthe judges
might be influenced by ths opinions Of the
others. The result of the first ballot was
unanimous verdict for Cobb County and she
was awarded the first prize. Bib county
ranked second, Clayton third, and Pike fourth.
The display of each of these counties was high
Iy ereditable, and their exhibitions made most
interesting Fair of themselves. Old Cobb may
well feel proud of her triumph. Her compsti-
ton was most formidable, bat herr triumph was
conceded without dissenting voice."

A medicine that has done more than all the
prescriptions of the pharmacopia to protect
the human system against the bodily ills su-
perinduced by unhealthy surroundings, is
certainly worthy OF universal confidence. IT
is mainly on account of its extraordinary pre-
ventive properties that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is so exceedingly popular in localities
subject to the visitation of mlasmatc levers and
other diseases produced by empoisoned air.
A family that has escaped sickness during a
sickiy season in consequence OF using the
Bitters as a safeguard Is living advertisement
of the virtues of the preparation. The whole
neighborhood realize the fact. . couldn't
have believed it," says one. Il scarcely
credited the advertisements but one must believe
what one sees" SAYS another. 1t a the very
thing we need in this mwholesoms section of
country" remarks third. And tho result is
that the instinct of self defence. the first law of
nature, induces thrss -fourths of that community
to obtaina supply Of the great vegetable
antidote before the next sickly season sets ILL.,
In winter, when the system requires extra
vieor and elasticity to enable it to battle the
effects Of damp and cold, the Bltters will be
found particularly serviceable Rheumatism
will not be apt to tasten upon muscles and
nerves that have been braced up by this
excellent invigorant and nervns, nor will the
seventies IF the season. which have such
disastrous effect on the pulmonary organs OF
the feeble aud delicate, be likely to exercise the
same untowart influences in cases where the
stomach aud the external surface Of the body
(Which aways spmpathizes with the digestive
organs) have BEEN toned and stimulated by
course of the restorative. The fits of indigss-
ton and irregularities of the bowels which
proceed from sudden changes of weather may
always be averted by timely use Of the
Bitters.

ONE of the things you read Of re.
Gently occurred in Wilmington, Del.
A man was detected hurrying away
from a butchers stall with a steak
which he had stolen under his coat
A policeman followed him to his
home, and peeping through the win
dow, saw him give the steak to his
children, who devoured it raw
Upon report of this being made to
the butcher, his bosom SO glowed
with benevolent sympathy, that in
stead of prosecuting, he sent the
starving family large basket of
meat and little cash to buy wood
to cook it.
