Where Jefferson Davis was Cap
tured.

On the waters of the Allapaha,
says the Americus Republican, in
Irwin county, and near lrwinville,
is the historic and memorable camp
ing ground Of the escaping pres
ident of the Confederate States.
The apple tree under which General
Lee surrendered was cut up into
chunks and scattered as mementoes
over the globe. The three trees
pine trecs--under which the historic
Jefferson Davis surrendered in Irwin
county were strickenby one bolt OF
lightning last year and shivered
into smithers. 1.-THE owner Of those
dismantled and prostrafe pines will
gather up the debris and bring them
to Americus, be can sell out ut !
handsome profit.

Liie's Voyage.

Life bears US onward, like the tide
of some mighty river,
But now our childhood minds are tired
by thoughts of sorrow, never
Our checks are never paled with grief:
Nor hearts with anguish broken;
No storm retarls our voyage brief;
Nor angry words are spoken.
The dashing stream flows on, and foam
Within Its messy border,
Our boat glides ou, aud roams,
And rarns Of pleasures order,
The trees pour blossoms on each head,
The flowers upon the ssink
Extend to our young hands aud shed,
A fragrance sweet we think.
We think no shadow e'er shall stray
Across the sily'ry waves,
Aud as we glide upon our way,
How well the tide behaves,
We have no thought that our trail boat
(Launched meath such sunny skies)
Shall ever know a storm but float
Right smoothly-on she flies
We move in such delightful elimes
Aud enjoy the scencry now.
Sweet little bells peal welcome chimes,
And tor our childish brow
The peerless flowers of Innocence
Are twined, aud wreathed aud bound,
And, as Life's voyage commence,
The sweetest bliss is found.
We choose alone the faifest flowers
Aud view the brightest side,
WI sit beneath the shadiest bowers
The early spring time pride,
We listen to the prettiest birds
As they sing tho sweetest lays.
Or heed the willy, ilatt'ring words
OF slight. unmeaning praise.
And now our voyage is almost done;
Our shipmates gone before.
Fast in the West declines our sun,
And Time with us DER,
Lot us improve each shining hour,
DO useful while We may,
And strive TO reach that blessed bower
"where joys celestial play."'

N0TARIES PUBLIC.

Editor: Exchange:
There seems to be craze in some
of our counties in reference to the o.
pointment or election of Notaries
Public. 1t goes SO far that any per
son, without reference to the public
safety or interest. can have himself or
herself appointed 10 that office
Now the position Of Notary ia one of
great Importance and involves upon
the incumbent many delicate respon-
sibilities.
Under the international law the
attestation of Notary seal is the
highest evidence that can he produc
ed. BY our statute Notary is re.
quired to give bond in the sum of FIVE
Thousand dollars, conditioned for the
faithful performance of the duties of
that office. Now we contend that
such great reliance would not be
placed IN the office by the inter ma
tional law, and no such bond would
be required by our statutes, if the
responsibilities of the position did not
demand orjustify it.
Now some of our counties have
gone to the ridiculous extent of even
electing married women to this posi-.
ton. No" we are not opposed t. the
ladies IN any way. but it is simply IL
question Of law and public pDlicy
In which every one is Interested
