A REMARKABLE TOWN.
LCur. Chicago Tribune.

tCor. Chicago Tribune.l
While rowing over the State short
time since, 1 visited one of the most
noted of the small towns OF Georgia.
This place was Lexington, in Ogle-
thorpe County, a town of probably
1900 Inhabitants. There it was that
Gov. Gilmer, of Georgia., who died
many years ago, was born; also that
distinguished jurist, the Hon. Joseph
Henry Lumpkin, who was made chief
justice OF the supreme court of Georgia
when the bench was first organized.
Here it was that the Hon. Lyman
Trumbull, of Illinois, first became
acquainted with ex-Chief Justice Hiram
Warner, and afterwards read law in
his Office.
Lexington was noted then, and it is
a most remarkable little town now. Al
though it is one of the most ancient
towns of the State, aud has popula.
ton, as before stated, of about 1880
people, it has to-day no charter and no
code, neither has it an ordinance for
the government Of its people. A mu-
nicipal election has never been held
there, and consequently Lexington has
never had Mayor or body of Council.
members of any sort. There is, in fact,
not city officer in the town of any

ed, the limits of the town extend from
anywhere to nowhere. The people, in
short, do as they please, and never pay
a dollars worth of taxes from one years
end to another.
When row of any character occurs,
which l am informed is very un-
usual occurrence-some of the good
people of the town go over and make
peace among the belligerents and that
is the end of it. I was s:ruck with the
simplicity of an epitaph on a tombstone
in the cemetery which read: clancy,
Janey, why did you do it?'' The his
tory connected with the death of the

LOUISIANA PRESS ASSOCIATION.

There appears with this weeks TELE
GRAPH the proceedings,in official form
of the Press Association of this State
The Association was organized only sc
recent as October of last year, and its
second meeting was held in New o..
leans but few months later, on the
2sth of February last. There was very
near full attendance of the members
who were present at the organization,
and, as was anticipated, large aces
sion of new members.
The Association met in New Orleans
during the Carnival, when business
was little thought of and distracting
festivities held sway. The proceedings
of the fraternity will show, neverthe-
less, that the men and women whose
business and pride it is to give .direc-
ton to thought IN this great State were
not unmindful of the many weighty
responsibilities resting upon them.
We ask our readers to give the pro-
ceedings a critical and careful perusal,
and we direct their attention particu-
larly to the poem of Mrs. Townsend
and the essay of Mrs. Field. These
are both talented ladies who are bless
ed with high order of genius, but
working in different spheres. Mrs.
Townsend's poem thrilled tile men of
thought who heard it read, and they
will read it yet again and still find in
her verse something to learn and ad.
mire. The poem is splendid concep-
ton, and the conception is majesti-
cally worked out. The essay of Mrs.
Fields is more practical, but admira-
bly, conceived and written as an essay
on Progressive Journalism should be.
Mrs. Fields understands her subject,
though modestIy denying it, and the
thoroughness with which journalism
is discussed by this gifted lady will at
test the correctness of our Judgment.
Both ofthese productions are evidences
to the fair sex of what woman can do,
and they are, to us of the sterner sex,
bold, defiant proof that we are not
s'sae gifted' as we too often imagine.
The writer, as President of the Asso-
citation, leaves all further notice or
criticism to his brethren of the Press,
feeling that they are, as they ought
to be, competent for a judicious dis.
charge of that duty.
