GEN. WoFFoRD told the citizens of
Murray county, at Cumberland shed,
that FELTON, was not self nominated
candidate for Congress that he and
a few others together had nominated
the Doctor. What are our friends
going to do that declared that they
never intended to vote for a nominee
again.. We have heard some say
they were supporting FELTON, because
they were against any man who would
accept a nomination. Lester was
nominated at Ringgold by more than
"a few" in broad, open daylight, after
several weeks notice that the demo-
cratic party would assemble there in
convention to select a candidate.
When, where and who was present
when DIR. FELTON, was nominated be-
sides himself and his man "Friday."
The fact that the Doctor was nomi>
mated at all seems, even with the in>
dependent people," who only do
things 10 the fear Of God, caring not
for man, has been well covered up
and kept from view until this disclo.
sure from Gen. Wofford. Dalton

STEPHENS VS.. FELTON,.

Some of the strongest friends oil
DIR. FELTON,, and even Dr.Felton him
self, have professed great admiration
for Mr.. Stephens. To order to show
the wide difference between Mr..
Stephens and DR.. FELTON,, we give
some extracts from the speeches and
letters of these two men:
81 will have nothing to do with
Conventions. ~. II. FELTON,, july
1878.
"Let us all put down divisions
and sustain the good old party that
rescued the country and has since
made it what it is."-Mr. Stephens,
recently, at Thomson.
"The Ringgold Convention was a
farce. p W. II. FELTON,, cUerywhere.
"GENTLEMEN-On reaching home
day before yesterday, after an alb
sence of over three weeks, / found
your letter of the 18th instant, am
nouncing that the Democratic Con-
vention of the Eighth Congressional
District, assembled at Thomson on
the 10Th, had put my name in nom
ination for reelection, and asking
my acceptance of the same.
Be assured, gentlemen, this signal
renewal of the expression of contin-
ued confidence on the part of my
constituents, through SO able and
representative body, is, under the
circumstances, peculiarly gratifying
to me. The high honor and trust
thus conferred | accept, with a full
sense of the heavy responsibility
resting upon me 10 SO doing" -Mr.
Stephens accepting the nomination,

A physician writes to young men
as follows: "My profession has
thrown me among women Of all clas-
ses, and my experience teaches me
that heaven never gave a greater
proof of his love than to place wo-
man here with him. My advice is,
go and propose to the most sensible
girl you know. If she accepts you,
tell her how much your income is,
and from what source derived, and
tell her you will divide the last dol
lar with her, and that you will love
with ell your hearts into the bargain.
And then keep your promise. My
word for it, she will live within your
income, and to your last hour you
will regret that you did not marry
sooner. Stop worrying about fem
mines extravaganza and feminine
untruth. Just you be true to her
love her sincerity, and a more fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet any where. You will not de-
serve her, | know; bat she will new
er know it,"

THE FOOLISH TRAVELLER.

i should like very much to hear q
story said youth to his teacher.
i hate serious instruction | can
not bear preaching
Listen, then, said the teacher.
"A wanderer filled his travelling
pouch with savory meats and fruits,
as his way would lead him across a
wild desert. During the first few
days he journeyed through the smil-
ing, fertile fields. Instead Of pluck>
ing the fruits which nature here Of
fered for the refreshment Of the trav-
eler, he found it more convenient to
eat of the provisions which he car
ried with him. He soon reached
the desert. After journeying on
ward for a few days bis whole store
of food was exhausted. He now be-
gan to wall and lament, for nowhere
sprouted blade of grass every-
thing was covered with burning
sand. After suffering for two long
days in torments Of hunger and
thirst he expired.
1T was foolish in him. said the
youth, 'to forget that he had to cross
the DESERT
do you act more wisely Y asked
the teacher, in an earnest Tone
you are setting forth on 5the jour-
ney Of life, a journey that leads to
eternity. Now is the time when
you should seek after knowledge,
and collect the treasures Of wisdom ;
but the labor affrights you; you pre-
fer to triAe away the spring time of
your years amid useless childish
pleasures. Continue to act thus,
and you will yet, upon the journey
of life, when wisdom and virtue fail
you, fare like that hapless wander-
err *'2~t"}
DO you act more wisely y This
is the meaning Of the parable to the
reader.

Judge Lester, up to last Saturday
night had made fortysone speeches in
the seventh district. Leaving out
Sundays (which the parson generally
puts in), he lacked only few speech
es of averaging one day since his
nomination; yet be stiIl looks hale
and hearty, and able to endure the
work still before him. He says he
intends to make thorough canvass.
He has already been 10 every county
in the district but three-Haralson,
Dade and Chattooga. With the
the work that Judge Lester is doing,
if the friends of Demo cracy will
stand true to their colors, and labor
with the same zeal and patiotic spir-
it, independence 10 the seventh will
be forever buried on the 9th of No.

To LIVE uprightly and purely in
this age is no play. A young man
who resolves to do it must himself,
az fencer does when about to be
attacked, be on his guard. A mild
and dove.like disposition does not
hold a man up to the duty at all
times. There are the mild, and
dove like disposition does not hold
man up to the duty at all times
There are the mild, and there also
the heroic virtues; and both find
their proper moments of expression.
There are times when q young
man must ssy no, and q no that has
no hint of possible yes in it,
There are times, also, when he must
say yes, and make it sound like the
blast Of a trumpet. Never did
young men need this quality and
temper more than they do to-day /;
never were there more Opportunl-
ties for their exercise.

INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS.

Acorrespondent of thePhiladelphia
Times tells curious story about the
revenge inflicted on General Meade
during the war by some newspaper
correspondents. Just before one OF
Meade's contemplated movements the
correspondents of a Philadelphia
newspaper sent to it a dispatch decri-
bling the Generals plan with an i'm
junction not to use the intelligence
until he telegraphed 'all right" This
last part of the dispatch failed to
reach the newspaper office, and the
Generals plan was published before
it was executed. General Meade
was very angry, and, refusing to &C
cept the correspondents excuse, or
dered him to be marched back and
forth within the lines bearing a pla'
card announcing that he was suffer
ing punishment for giving informa
ton to the enemy. As soon as he
was released he fastened to Wash
ington, and, laying his grievance be-
fore the correspondents in News>pa
per Row, they met and passed a reso
luton as follows: General Meade's
name shall never be mentioned again
10 dispatches by any newspaper cor
respondent, except III case of defeat.
All the success of the army he com
mands shall be credited to General
Grant" The Times correspondent
says that he has always thought that
this resolution made General Grant
President. Whether the story is true
or false, remarks the New York Post,
it illustrates the value of newspaper
mention in giving public men a rep
utation. If all the leading newspa-
pers should agree to keep the names
and speeches of. Butler and Kearney
out of til cir columns even these dema
gogues would soon fade away from
public attention, bot then they would
not be such objects of contempt as
they now are.

The production of honey in Cali
fornia in 1876 was estimated at
1900, 900 pounds, which was largely
in excess of the home consumption,
and large amount was sent to the
Eastern markets, but last year the
honey crop was failure, owing to
the drouth. Many apiaries were en-
tirely destroyed, over 5000 colonies
10 Los Angles county alone being lost
because the owners had not left them
honey enough for their support du-
ring the dry season. This year the
season was favorable, and the produc-
ton per hive will equal that Of 1876,
but the aggregate supply will be less,
because of the reduction in the num-
Der Of bees last year. Considerable
shipments have already been made
to the Eastern markets.

Messrs McCamy and Farnsworth

Messrs McCamy and Farnsworth
are citizens of this place, and two
more honorable, reliable and truthful
men do not live 10 the State Of Geor~
gia. In addition to their testimony,
we learned from various msn(among
them warm supporter of DR.. Eel
tom while in attendance upon Murray
Superior Court last week, that Judge
Lester made no such speech at
Spring Place that his whole speech
at that time was for Gen. Gordon and
against Bullock and the Radical par
ty. The fact of the whole matter is,
Judge Lester, in this thing, has been
most outrageously misrepresented,
and DIR. FELTON, knows it. How he
can preach the gospel on Sunday,
and during the week traduce, mis-
represent and Willy his opponent, is
something that we cannot understand
if he 10 a clwistian-he nor no other
man can harmonize such con
duct with the religion Christ taught
while on earth. Dalton Citizen.

REPRESENT SOMETHING.

All the processes of the mechanic
should teach him that something can
not be made from nothing. He
takes pieces of board and fashions
from them coffin or table, or whats
ever other article of use he may
make. He takes a bar of iron and
makes from it horseshoe, or q nail,
or the tire of a wagon>wheel. He
takes pieces of leather and from them
makes lady's slipper or farmers
boot. Even the radest laborer can-
not make pcst>hole without digging
out the dirt. The rule is Aot differ
ent in respect to money and proper>
~. Money must represent some
thing-either the labor required to
dig the metal from the mines or some
form of merchandise-to be worth
anything. So property cannot be
created by an act of Congress or the
vote of mass nesting. 1t must be
got together by hard work and pa
tient saving. In short, of all men in
the country the honest workingman
ought to be the one to see that the
orator who says something can be
made from nothing is simply attempt
Ing to win his favor on the assumption
that he neither observes nor reflects
upon the nature and limitations of his
own occupation.-New YORK; Post.

OATS AND WHEAT.

When good seed are used and are
sowu in the fall soma experimenters
say that they are much less liable to
rust. We think it probable that the
rust, which occurs in these fall sown
grains, is caused by depositing them
in the soil too late in the fall. We
would be pleased to have the experi-
ence of some of our readers on this
point. We feel satisfied that wins
ter oats, as a general rule, are not
sown as they should be. Some
writers say oats should be sown ear
lier than wheat or rye. Expert
ments have shown that they did bet
ter when sown the latter part of Au~
gust or early in September than in
October. It is said, too, that when
thus early they invariably escape
rust, and turn out handsomely after
being used to pasture calves and
even grown cattle during q part OF
the winter months, We have seen
field Of rye pasturcd SO close that
the plants were scarcely visible o
hundreds yards off, and yet it turn
ed out splendid crop, the heads
maturing between five and six feet
from the ground. We can put
nothing in. the ground upon poor
soils, that will make as good return
as oats sown early in the fall. We
remember thet some years ago q
writer for the Cultivator, who had
tried it, gave an account Of q splen>
did yield of oats that were sown in
August.
