We have received a communi-
cation from friend abusive Of Mr..
John II. James, which we must de-
cline to publish, as we do not see
that It subserves the public good.
Mr.. James, as far as we know, is a
clever gentleman, and there is noth-
ing dishonorable in his aspirations
for Governor it is his right and
privilege. We always like to see a
man aim high, whether he reaches
the goal of his ambition or not.
We are indebted to II. A Dun
woody, Esq of this place, for bas~
ket of vegetables, consisting Of white
headed cabbage, roasting ears, beats,
onions, okra, bunch-beans. butter
beans, tomatoes, Irish potatoes, can
telope, etc, all very large and OF
fine growth. As a specimen Of
what a Cobb county garden can do
the second year Of cultivation it is
quite ereditabIe, and shows that Mr..
Dunwody cannot only be successful
as lawyer, but as an agriculturist
as well. He has cur thanks for his
generous supply.
