tie news to send you, but in so
dull a place as this it is hard TO gather
UP enough to make the basis Of a let
ter. We have about given up all
hope OF a revival in business, and
most Of us barring the ofieials) will
light out in the spring for pastures
new. With us it can be truly said
that hope ia been SO long deferred
as TO make 1.-THE heart sick" And
now that we learn you Cherry Greek.
ers have inaugurated steps towards
the removal OF the county seat, eve
the Courthouse clique appear really
to accep4 inevitable. Some few, of

but few, however, sc unreasonable as
to view the matter in that light. OF
course, we all know the county seat
should be removed to some more
GENITAL point, and it is not likely that

will OF the people in his respect.
There Isl little simmer in the politi-
cal pot, an I Slate-Inaking has begun

record as a sound financisr, is trim

be provided for, and our Democratic
slate. makers are at sea TO find a suit
able place for him on the ticket. He
might do for Treasurer, but being in
possession VI three-fonrths OF all our
outstanding county scrip, il may not
be the right thing to place the county
funds In his hands.
Woodbury. and Thackston are both
absent, and on their return II Is more
than probable they will have all they
want TO attend to without desiring To
serve the public for the succeeding
two years.
Your old friend, DIR. Herrick, who
