NOT FOR JAMES.
POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, June 20.

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, June 20.
EDS. JoURnAr--We, Of this COM
munity, were rather surprised that
five citizens of this place should
meet together at late hour Sstur~
day night to hold mass meeting
and who, (afler devouring two dozen
Boxes of oysters,) proceeded to pass
resolutions purporting to represent
the people Of Powder Springs and
vicinity as favoring j. H. James for
Governor. Now, Mr.. James is all
right, and a very clever gentleman,
but we wish i. understood by those
aspirants for notorieIy, that five
democrats do not represent the sens
timent Of this district When we
want our ideas made public, we will
express them in the usual way
when the sun shines-as our iuten-
lions are good.
