The Atlanta Journal has the followig
to say of Maj. J). N. Spoer, who
oved from this County some years
\o: "In the make up of the population

Intellect and sterling integrity. Mnjor D.

and is now in the prime of life. He
jserved during the Confederate war with
efficiency* rising rapidly from (tie position
of captain to that of lioutenantiColotiftl.
Hti was nominated for State
treasurer in 1880, and elected by an
.^overwhelming majority over a popular
lOPlttnet. Ho was reelected treasurer
the second time, and the record of his
Administration is one of the brighest
chapters in the annals of Georgia's history.
His honesty, integrity, energy and
Superb 'judgement was as marked in
public life as.,it is in privato life. He
Is conservative and prudent, never indulges
in sneculation and novor loaves
ItaJthe piano of honest, square dealing. He

that Mr. Richard Graham, of
Ahe United"States Signal Servico, has
jirrivod in Columbia for the purposo of
f - rvi^nuiAitif^ a uw?vo signal uchyivv* ti u
<C*n perhaps give our readers no better
idea of what is intended to be accomplished
than by publishing the following
statement made by Mr. Graham to
. fik reporter of tho Nei03 and Courier:
"Through the efforts of your comrigissiooer
of agriculture, Col. Butler, I
jhav.e bjsen ordered by Gen. Hazen, who
ts always alive to the interest of farmers
and who desires to extend the scr,
irice for this State. I work under Col.
$utler, who is at the head of this office.
Our objects is to establish stations all
&V- *>ver the State, and when a prediction
Teaches Washington sond it out in all
.directions so that the farmers may be
, benefitted by it. In some States the
|SM' Signal service flags predicting tho wenth
SX lure flown from the traius passing
^ ^fi6u^h the farming country, and we
; .^rill try to induce the railroads in this
?3tate to dis play tho flags on their trains.
: jFrom our stations in all sections of the
-State we will receive monthly reports
. _ .1- _ J.H_ ... . - ..
w- ,#? tu vuu aany temperature ana tbe
j?&}j. H?neof rainfall, &c. Iu timo we will
be able to tell whether one sections
. joceivop wo^o rain than another, and
(which ,is the warmest or coldest part of
the State."
Ill tne above arrangement can be
V perfected with tho railroads of the
.State, it wiU give our pooplo such information
as would be greatly benefijcj*l
to them. We hope thoy can be
V. perfected.
