| Ed. OBsERvER-Leaving the
delightful little city of Fayette-
vile on Friday last at III o'clock,
we took the Lynchburg pike for
our pathway for the first six
miles. We then left-obliqued
along the Charity pike, until we
arrived at the little stream that
bears the unclassical appellation
Of "Gimlet." Here we again
left-obliqued and proceeded up
its rugged right bank, along the
worst excuse for road to be
found in the county. The pleas
ure of the trip being greatly en-
HANGED by the dam-pning ac-
COMPARTMENT of a heavy rain
shower, from one of those clouds
the extent of which is limited to
the valley in which they arise in
the morning in the form of va
pOr, and return in the afternoon
| in drsnching but refreshing and
fertilizing showers. This phe-
nomenon is peculiar tohilly coun-
tries, and is the real cause of the
otherwise unaccountable con-
trast in productiveness, in the
same season, in contiguous val
leys of the same fertility, the
same productive capacity. But
roads, rain, nor mud could pre-
vent us from feasting our eyes
upon the splendid corn prospect
presented to our vision by the
valleys and slopes of the eastern
and western shores of Gimlet.
After a five-mile ascent of Gim-
let, we made a half wheel left,
and crossed the intervening ridge
to Hamestring, down Hamestring
to the mouth, thence up Big Hum
CRY over the ridge to Oak Hill,
up the Shelbyvillc pike to the top
of Chestnut Ridge, half-wheel
right down to Charity, thence by
Freeman's store back to Mount
Harmon, down to Hawthorn a
CROSS to the Lynchburg pike, and
to Shelbyville.
Along our whole route the corn
and hay crops were superabun-
dant. Hogs, however, are scarce
and fancy prices are being offer
ed for swine to eat the surplus
cereal, that is so indispensable
to the bacon manufacturer. We
were forcibly struck with the
unmeaning titles applied to the
localities through which wepass-
ed. These were Gimlet, Hame-
string, Big Hungry, Oak Hill,
Chestnut Ridge (the only appro-
pirate name in the list) Mulber-
Try, Charity and Hawthorne.
Examining this list, in most
philosophical spirit of inquiry,
as the result of our researches,
we came to the very philosophic
conclusion that there Is "nothing
in name" You don't get bored
on Gimlet; you find no STRAPS"
ION Hamestring; you are well fed
on Big Hungry; you find no
mulberries on Mulberry; you are
offered no aims at Charity; nor
ihaws at Hawthorne. Nothing
but corn, prosperity and State
credit Democrats are to be met
with at any of the places above
mentioned. No. 8.

Vicksburg Commercial
The Columbus and Aberdeen papers bring
US the melancholy intelligence of the deatf
of Col. George Hampton Young, for forty
i've years a respected and beloved citizen OF
Lowndes county. Col. Young was native
of Oglethorpe county, Ga, and was born
December II, 1899, and was nearly 81 years
old when he died at his home at Waverly
Lowndes county, on the 9th inst, Col
Young was an educated and accomplished
gentleman, and after concluding his collegi-
ate course, graduated in the law school at
Litchfeld, Conn, with distinction. He took
high rank at the bar of Georgia, which
then boosted of some of the ablest lawyers
of the South, and representated his native
county in the Georgia Legislature with
distinguished ability. In 1885 he removed
to Lowndes county, in this State, where be
has ever since resided. Some thirty years
ago he represented Lowndes county in our
Legislature for two years, where he was con,
spicuous for his devotion to the cause of edu-
cation, and to his efforts, in large degree,
was due the establishment of our excellent
Asylum for the Insane.
A man of great cultivation, liberal views,
fine presence, large fortune and great kind
ness of heart, his home was one Of princely
hospitality. The soul of honor and gener-
osity, no enc ever knew that did not love,
Geo. III. Young.
