Esq, Gen. Wright, r. Hobbs, Rev. T. G..
Pond. and Hon. c. B. Wooten. The latter
once filed the high position of President
OF the Senate when representing the
Eleventh district, and has also served on
the bench of the Superior Court in the
Albany circuit. He is a gentleman Of
popular manners and decided ability, and
is faVorably spoken of for Congressional
honorS.
Hon. Nelson Tiff may be called the
foremost citizen OF the community.
Through the largest portion OF long and
we'll spent life his every energy has been
devoted to the promotion of the welfare Of
the people OF his town and section. At
present he is the head OF the noted Il IN of
N. TIT co.,
who are extensive dealers in farmers
supplies, and handle through their ware
house 10000 bales of cotton annually.
Messrs. Mure & Brown receive 1000
bales into their warehouse, and do an
extensive factorage and commission bust
ness.
Mrs. A. Stern's "Female Institute" has
eighty young ladies on Its rolls, and is
deservedly popular.
Hon. w. H. Wilder, the efficient Mayor
formerly Ordinary of the county, has held
the office acceptably for eleven years.
Rev. T. G. Pond, rector of the Episco-
pal Church. is distinguished divine and
erud1te scholar, and IS especially noted as
a botanist. He was formerly member
of the faculty of the State University, OF
which institution he is graduate, and
sat on the ecclesiastical court before
whom Rev. DIR. Armstrong, of Atlanta,
was arraigned, tried and convicted.
L. Hamilton is the new proprietor OF
the old Barnes House, which is said to be
well kept.
Thomas Fl. Willingham, one of the best
farmers of Dougherty, has been blessed
with seventeen children by the wife OF his
youth, fourteen of whom survive and
have attained to years of maturity. Ii
would require a special census to ascer-
tain the number of bis grandchildren,
and this worthy gentleman is certainly
entitled to pension from the republic.
THE PRESS.
Friend Mcintosh, editor and proprietor
of the daily and weekly News and Adver-
tiser, publishes one of the most readable
and incisive journals in the State. he

halls of the commonwealth, and is justly
esteemed by the community.
1t would be improper to conclude this
sketch without mentioning the names of
Capt. John A. Davis and Rev. S. r. Yves
ton. The former has acted as depot agent
sixteen years for the Central railroad, and
no one is more respected in the COM
munity Mr.. Weston was for long
