It is 'up there'. OLD SL Old Sl (Sam Small) of the Atlanta Constitution has been selected to deliver the College Commencement address in Griffin next June. COL. L. P. THOMAS JR. The Police Commissoners of Atlanta are to elect a Cheif of police on next Saturday. Our genial friend, Col L P Thomas Jr is being urged by his friends as a suitable man for this responsible office. We very much hope that Col. Thomas will be elected. We speak from our own personal observation in saying that no man in Georgia has a better war record than Col. Thomas. He was a good drill officer and a brave fighter. The many friends of Colel thomas in Newnan would like to exert an influence in his behalf. The Romish Church is laboring most earnestly to get control of the negores of the south. They have already sent into various Southern States a strong body of priests, and we are informed they now have nearly, if not quite one hundred young colored men in the Propaganda at Rome, preparing for the priesthood.
